I Am Link

.

--- Gimme Chance - The Playlist shares that there the first picture of Nikolaj Coster-Waldau in Susanne Bier's upcoming movie A Second Chance, which is about a pair of policeman friends, something something, baby in a closet, something. I don't know if it's the painkiller medication I am on right now but the story they describe didn't make any sense to me. But hey, Nikolaj Coster-Waldau!

--- Full Heart - Nina Persson of The Cardigans has her solo album called Animal Heart out today, buy it it's great, and here's a nice brief little chat with her over at CBS, including more positivity towards the idea of a new Cardigans album.

--- Wedding Wars - This project sounds aaaaaaamazing - I Am Love director Luca Guadagnino is going to direct A Reliable Wife, a thriller adapted by Se7en's screenwriter Andrew Kevin Walker from a book set at the turn of the 20th Century in Wisconsin about a guy who puts out an ad for a wife and gets some hot crazy broad in response, and they both set about murdering each other or something. I wanna watch that movie right this minute. Anybody read the book?

--- Hot For Hot - I hope everything's alright with Matthias Schoenaerts - Deadline says he had to pull out (mmm) of the movie Alive Alone, which he was going to star in with Noomi Rapace, which is about a criminal turned taxi driver on the run with a prostitute... really? That's a story that somebody wants to tell again? Anyway Matty is out... and IDRIS ELBA is taking the role over. So obviously, cliched as it sounds, I'll be watching it all the same. If only it was Noomi who stepped out and Matthias and Idris were playing the criminal-prostitute duo. Anyway Sam Worthington is playing the bad guy they're running from.

--- Truth or Death - The guys who made Catfish and a couple of the Paranormal Activity movies are adapting the YA book Nerve for the screen - it's about an online Truth or Dare game getting out of hand for a high school wallflower. Their words. My favorite thing from this story, also their words: "the game evolves and soon she finds herself in a dangerous and life-ending situation." LIFE-ENDING SITUATION. It's like those prescription commercials that warn of "suicidal actions." Anyway a writer from American Horror Story wrote the script.

--- Strip Search - And finally, Channing Tatum has begun working on the script for the second Magic Mike movie, says Channing Tatum. Who do you want to be in it? Should they bring back some or all of the old gang? (We all want to see Matthew Bomer's in a thing again, obviously.) What new actors are on your wish list?
