--- Scots Guard - The Playlist has much better copies of those MacBeth posters we were looking as yesterday, in case you found my manipulation attempts frustrating; in other Fassbender news, he's looking to sign on to the next movie from The Place Beyond The Pines director Derek Cianfrance, an adaption of a book called The Light Between Oceans, about a lighthouse keeper and his wife who find a rowboat containing a dead body and a baby - they raise the baby themselves, which leads to some sort of tragedy. it's set off of Australia right after WWI - Fassy with an Aussie accent, perhaps?
--- Blow Away - Last night The Film Experience's "Hit Me With Your Best Shot" took on one of my favorite movies that I never talk about and yet did I participate? Boo, me. Head over there and see the shots and articles that everybody devoted to Michelangelo Antonioni's 1966 masterpiece Blow-Up. Such an amazing picture.

--- High Is Risen - Last we'd heard about Ben Wheatley's forthcoming adaptation of JG Ballard's book High Rise was it was starring Tom Hiddleston (a huge leap forward star-wise for Wheatley, and much deserved - he's a supremely interesting filmmaker) - now joining Hiddles we've got word is Jeremy Irons and Sienna Miller. If you want lots of plot details and who they'll all be playing hit that link, they have it all.
--- Six From Space - Cabin in the Woods director Drew Goddard dropped out of adapting Andy Weir's book The Martian when he signed on to make the Spider-Man spin-off The Sinister Six, which is seeming like maybe a bad decision in the wake of Spider-Man 2's not great reception. Now Ridley Scott is making The Martian, and it will star Matt Damon. It's about an astronaut stranded on Mars. The Playlist seems to think this means Ridley won't be directing Prometheus 2, just producing.
--- Hole Dweller - I suppose we won't be seeing any headlines about Noted Homosexual Luke Evans' personal life any time soon, since he's just signed on for yet another tough-guy action movie role - this one's called SAS: Red Notice and it's about an "SAS operator" (I have no idea what that is) trying to save a bunch of people stuck in an underground tunnel, including "the woman he loves." Mmhmm.
--- Chewy's Secret - Writer-director Billy Ray has made a big name for himself over the past couple of years since Shattered Glass, but let's not forget he wrote Color of Night and Volcano too. His next project is an English remake of the Best Foreign Film winner of 2009 called The Secrets in Their Eyes, which will star Chiewetel Ejiofor and Gwyneth Paltrow. It's about an MI5 agent obsessed with an unsolved murder, who will uncover "shocking secrets" and shed "terrifying light"'s and all the usual jazz.
--- After Twinkle - I guess Olivier Assayas will only work with Twilight actors from now on - whilst talking at Cannes, where he's showing his new movie Sils Maria which co-stars Kristen Stewart, Assayas said that his next movie will feature Robert Pattinson. No word on what the movie itself will be, although there's a guess at that link.
--- Jaws of Life - I suppose this story is kind of spoilery but it's too amusing not to share, I don't care if it ruins anything - Bryce Dallas Howard was filming a scene on Jurassic World that involved her being in the jaws of a giant dinosaur (hey maybe she escapes) and the mechanical robot beast malfunctioned due to a power shortage and she got stuck! HAHAHAHAHA. It took the crew 15 minutes to get her out. We were rooting for you dinosaur.
--- Shock Therapy - Peter Sarsgaard and Winona Ryder are going to star in Experimenter, about the scientist (played by Sarsgaard) who did that whole "make folks think they have the power to electric-shock strangers and see what happens" experiment back in the 1960s. Winona's playing the good doctor's assistant, who he falls for. This sounds like Masters of Sex just without the sex part.
--- Clock Stoppers - Two terrific and under-used folks have just signed on for a Groundhog Day sounding thriller called 2:22 - Benjamin Walker will play a man "whose life is permanently derailed when an ominous pattern of events repeats itself in exactly the same manner every day, ending at precisely 2:22 PM," while Teresa Palmer will play a woman whose life is threatened by these events.
--- Total Coward - I wouldn't mind it if all the actors from Glee (save Jane Lynch, natch) just disappeared into nothingness and were never heard from again - even more so when I read the news that Chris Colfer is going to be playing Noel Coward opposite Ian McKellen and Vanessa Redgrave. Which one of these things is not like the others...
--- Destroyed, Michigan - I wish he were directing it but I suppose I'll take a script by - Lars Von Trier is writing a horror movie set in Detroit for his pal Kristian Levrin, who will supposedly direct. Have you guys watched the original Danish version of The Kingdom yet? (It was turned into a short-lived series called Kingdom Hospital here in the US.) You should do that.

Pretty sure 2:22 is the same movie Armie Hammer was supposed to be in like 3 years ago? You've probably written about it on here before.
