This Week's News !!!

This week was filled with very very good news!

Jean Dujardin and Martin Scorsese (gasp)!
Our very own Jean Dujardin has been cast in Martin Scorsese's next pic, The Wolf of Wall Street. Dujardin will play a Swiss banker in the film which already stars Leonardo DiCaprio and Jonah Hill. This is certainly the most shocking (in an awesome way) news of the week.








Penelope Cruz is back!

And what a crazy return it is for the actress. Cruz was confirmed for Ridley Scott's The Counselor (thus making up for the weird choice of Cameron Diaz) AND will star in Pedro Almodovar's next film. Cruz is never better than when she acts in her own language so we are excited!

Arnaud Desplechin goes abroad
Benicio del Toro and Mathieu Amalric will star in the French director's next film, Jimmy Picard. Based on Psychotherapy of a Plains Indian by Georges Devereux, the film tells the story of a Native American and his friendship and long analysis with the French psychoanalyst.

 

Tarantino still chained to Django
You may have seen the trailer already, but it looks like Django Unchained is far from being done. Tarantino just added Jonah Hill to his already star-filled cast.

Rumor has it....
...that the cult TV show Bored to Death is getting the chance to come back as a 90 min film on HBO!

Lehane adapted, again.
This time, the author has adapted his own story for the screen. "Animal Rescue" is now a script and it looks like Neil Burger (Limitless) will be the one directing. I'm not sure if I like this, especially since Lehane's last book that was adapted was the magnificent Shutter Island turned into a masterpiece by Martin Scorsese.

In other news: Anton Yelchin has joined Jim Jarmusch's latest film, Only Lovers Left Alive. Ray Winstone will be Noah's enemy in Aronofsky's Noah.

Viddy Well!
