We already wrote about the upcoming spy thriller Tinker, Tailor, Soldier, Spy that has some great cast, and when we say that, we mean: Gary Oldman, Ralph Fiennes and Colin Firth are all in one movie!

We also reported that Michael Fassbender will be the part of the project too, but it looks that Inglourious Basterds star has moved on to X-Men: First Class which just started shooting.

So, now, we’re here for a little update that goes like this: Tom Hardy (Layer Cake, RocknRolla, Bronson, Thick as Thieves, Inception), has stepped into Fassbender’s role.

Or, if you prefer more details, Hardy will play tricky Ricky Tarr, a British operative who is the acquaintance of lead character George Smiley.

Gary Oldman is set to play George in a movie that is actually an adaptation of John Le Carre’s seminal cold war best-seller.

Set in the aftermath of the cold war, the thriller tells the tale of a spy-hunt within the highest echelons of the British Secret Intelligence Service:

“The enduring novel by one of the greatest storytellers follows George Smiley, who is a troubled man of infinite compassion, and also a single-mindedly ruthless adversary as a spy. The scene which he enters is a Cold War landscape of moles and lamplighters, scalp-hunters and pavement artists, where men are turned, burned or bought for stock. Smiley’s mission is to catch a Moscow Centre mole burrowed thirty years deep into the Circus itself.”

Tomas Alfredson (original Let the Right One In – Låt den rätte komma in) is in charge for directing this espionage movie, while Bridget O’Connor and Peter Straughan wrote the screenplay.

The movie also stars Ciaran Hinds, Benedict Cumberbatch and Jared Harris.

Tinker, Tailor, Soldier, Spy goes into production this month, and is set to hit cinemas in 2012.

Update from Marvel Studios! Runaways will begin filming early next year, in March 2011, and it will take place in Los Angeles, California where the comic’s story is set.

Another information that we’re going to share with you right away is the rumor that the studio might change the title from Runaways to Small Faces. Question mark? Ok, let’s try to get some answer on that decision.

The best answer on that is the fact that guys from Marvel probably don’t want their film to get confused with that Kristen Stewart and Dakota Fanning movie that was based on the rock group of the same name – The Runaways.

But what’s the point in that Small Faces thing, we still have no idea, although, nothing is official yet.

Runaways or Small Faces centers on: “a group of teenagers who discover that their parents are an organized group of super villains called The Pride.

On the run from their homes, the group bands together and begins a journey of discovery, both of their parents’ origins and of their own inherited powers.”

No cast members have been announced for the film, but at least we already know that Drew Pearce and the comic’s creator, Brian K. Vaughn, wrote the screenplay and that Peter Sollet is in charge for directing the movie.

With every new update on Runaways, we’ll be back!

Suzanne Collins' "The Hunger Games" novel trilogy is hot property in the filmmaking sense. Lionsgate is trying to get this production off the ground and fast, especially since they narrowed down the list of potential directors to three. The choices are between Sam Mendes, Gary Ross and David Slade.

It introduces sixteen-year-old Katniss Everdeen, who lives in a post-apocalyptic world where a powerful government called the Capitol has risen up after several devastating disasters. In the book, the Hunger Games are an annual televised event where the Capitol chooses one boy and one girl from each district to a fight. The purpose of the Hunger Games is to show how no one, including children, is above the Capitol's power. This sounds like a mix of "Battle Royale" and a strange twist on said number of futuristic films that show our world as completely screwed in some way shape or form.

Billy Ray served on the re-write of "Hunger Games", his previous credits including "State of Play", "Flightplan" and "Breach". If Lionsgate wants to get "Hunger Games" off the ground and fast, I don't understand how they'll hire David Slade onto the cast. He's currently the top contender to take the directing reigns on "X-Men Origins: Wolverine 2" which is fixed to start shooting early 2011. Then again, out of the three choices it would be interesting to see how Sam Mendes could handle this kind of property.

Once again I open up the question to you, which of the three directors would you like to see handle "The Hunger Games"?

“Machete’’ began life as one of the fake trailers in “Grindhouse,’’ the 2007 Rodriguez-Quentin Tarantino collaboration that allowed both directors to pay homage to their splattery ’70s drive-in roots. Part of the gag was seeing Trejo, an ex-con and boxer who since the mid-’80s has been a visual signifier of extreme threat in the corner of over 140 movies, pretend to have a shot at a lead role. The far better gag is that Trejo holds the center of the expanded “Machete’’ beautifully, his death-whisper voice and that unforgettable slab of a face, etched with creases and sin, providing an anchor for the supporting stars to wheel around.

Conveniently timed to sprinkle gasoline on the fires of the immigration debate, Robert Rodriguez’s splatter comedy “Machete” has already riled up hardliners in advance of its release. Although laughter is the appropriate response to this pulpy, lighthearted gorefest, its pro-Mexican, anti-American stance is so gleefully inflammatory that some incensed nativists may refuse to get the joke.
Reacting to the film’s leaked screenplay, the radio talk show firebrand Alex Jones posted a YouTube video in which he warned that “Machete” could foment a “race war.” A comedy showdown with the Wayans brothers would seem more likely…read more [The New York Times]

Rodriguez’s movie is the calculated kind, of course, and he’s walking a line trod just two weeks ago by Alexandre Aja and Piranha: the line between reveling in irony as you make something deliberately “bad,” and using irony as an excuse to not have to make something better. Machete is much more successful at finding the balance. Plenty of the characters, dialogue, and performances are interesting in their own right, even outside the context. I suspect you could get a kick out of this even if you’ve never seen the type of movie it’s emulating…read more [film.com]

While Machete is one hilarious, madcap, blood-filled pinata party, it’s also one of the most politically charged action movies to come along this year.
The iconic big screen bad-ass Danny Trejo gets his much needed day in the sun as Machete, an ex- Mexican cop turned Texas day laborer who finds himself in the middle of the battle between borders, with double crossing politicians, vigilantes, cops, and cartels. All the while he’s becoming another legendary folk hero from the endless mind of Robert Rodriguez and the Troublemaker studio family…read more [ScreenJunkies]

Cheech Marin in Machete

At 105 minutes, “Machete” is at least half an hour too long for its own good. It would’ve worked better at that length as one-half of “Grindhouse,” certainly better than Rodriguez’s own “Planet Terror” did. The beheadings and behandings and eye-gougings and stiletto-heel-in-the-craniums are diverting for a while. If Robert Rodriguez ever learns to move his camera around in interesting ways, rather than editing a bunch of static, indistinctly framed shots together for effect, his willingness to try anything — and here, anyway, actually say something, albeit in a completely adolescent fashion — may lead to more compelling escapism than this…read more [Chicago Tribune]

Rodriguez and Maniquis gleefully go over the top in many sequences, with jokey displays of seriocomic carnage (at one point, Machete escapes from a shootout by using a bad guy’s intestines as a rappelling rope) and lightly clad beauties. Co-stars Jessica Alba (as a feisty ICE agent who allies herself with Machete) and Lindsay Lohan (boldly cast as a drug-addled, oversexed nymphet) provide a fair share of the latter, while Michelle Rodriguez (leader of an underground movement to protect undocumented Mexicans) generously contributes to a running gag about Machete’s irresistible appeal to every cutie he encounters…read more [Variety]

Machete Movie Posters

Within the first five minutes of Robert Rodriguez’s Machete, his cheeky, freewheeling return to exploitation homage, there’s a car crash, a mutilation, a decapitation, a baker’s dozen deaths by blade, a naked lady, and a Steven Seagal sighting. And that’s not even mentioning the clamshell cell tucked up the naked lady’s hoo-ha. Then the film ramps right up to a pseudo-vintage, sprocket-skipping title sequence that promises the most deliciously random cast in recent memory: Jessica Alba AND Lindsay Lohan, Seagal AND Robert De Niro, a Nash Bridges reunion AND a Danny Trejo leading-man coronation. Though the film can’t reasonably maintain this 10-gags-a-minute trajectory, it sure does try. Forget modulation, nuance or storytelling, this is a movie that hits hard from first to last, no questions asked or logic followed…read more [Movieline]

Jessica Alba as Sartana, Machete

It’s easy to admire Robert Rodriguez’s intended goal with Machete – to make the kind of offensive, politically incorrect film that played in grindhouse theaters in the ‘70s and ‘80s – but good intentions only go so far. In a strange way, Machete is almost too faithful to its ancestry. Sure, the violence is awe inspiring (at one point Machete repels down the side of a building using someone’s intestines, for crying out loud), and its adamant refusal to keep things comfy and PC is more than welcome, but its pacing gives the film too much slack rope with which to hang itself…read more [Hollywood.com]

Michelle Rodriguez, Machete

Rodriguez is an old-hat at this sort of B-movie story-telling, but even he can’t avoid this “overdoing it” problem. Certain characters show up for seemingly no reason (a wannabe thug played by Spy Kids’ Daryl Sabara is especially pointless), others never quite pay off (unless I blinked and missed his fate, I’m pretty sure Savini’s character just vanishes from the film). And although I love over-the-top violence as much as the next guy, once you’ve seen one insanely violent action scene after another, it begins to lose some impact.
Nowhere is this more evident than in the film’s big action climax, which is unfortunately kind of underwhelming. By the time it rolls around, the movie’s anarchic spirit isn’t quite as fresh as it felt an hour and half ago. It also doesn’t help that it’s just not really all that captivating of an action set-piece. Oh, sure, there’s a lot going on, but it seems to exist just to give every character one more chance to show up and shoot somebody. The direction feels surprisingly lazy and uninspired during this sequence. This is the moment that should have been the most balls-to-the-wall of the entire movie, but instead it’s just sort of a string of goofy character moments…read more [411mania.com]

Danny Trejo, Machete

Machete is a movie specializing in the ridiculous and the insane, and the more insane it gets the more fun you’ll have. This is in large part thanks to Robert Rodriguez, who is so good at this genre that he should never be allowed to direct anything that isn’t a grindhouse movie ever again, and in part thanks to the cast which is unexpectedly really good at it too. Michelle Rodriguez looks better than she’s ever looked, Steven Seagal has a blast with a killer swordplay ending, and Danny Trejo grunts his way one step closer to becoming an action movie icon. Machete’s politics are a cringe-worthy mess but when it comes to over-the-top fun his blade is razor sharp…read more [Cinema Blend]

Machete Video Review

El Mayimbe here...

Don't believe that Alfonso Cuaron's Gravity is dead yet despite news to the contrary.

The rumor is that he could be trying to not only trim the budget for this film but that the person Cuaron could be looking at now is Rachel Weisz to take up the role Angelina Jolie left behind. Nothing is known yet on if both Weisz and Cuaron have talked but producers are interest in meeting Weisz for the role very soon.

A whole bunch of other actresses have tested for the part.

Weisz makes sense.  She could do it, but not at an Angelina Jolie level budget; they would have to trim it for her. Again consider this a rumor since I couldn't get verification through my usual channels.
Hasta el proximo capitulo...

At first this sounded like an April Fools-worthy kind of article. Think about it, you have Bruce Campbell shooting his mouth off wanting a horror actor version of "The Expendables". How totally cool would that be? After clicking on the link and reading what Campbell had to say, it could be a reality.

"Yeah, "The Expendables," or more like the "It's a Mad Mad Mad Mad World" of horror. I want to get so many horror movie stars that people can't possibly not see the movie. I want to give them other stuff to do. I want to have Kane Hodder be very particular about what he eats. I want Robert Englund to be a tough guy, like he knows tae kwon do or something. I want to find out the hidden sides of all these people. Some will play themselves, some will play alternate characters as well. I may approach Kane Hodder to play Frankenstein. He could be Kane Hodder himself fighting himself as Frankenstein. It could be crazy. It's a silly concocted story that we hope to do maybe in a year or so."

A bloody good time with some of horror's best slashing it up on the screen together? Yeah, when can we have this Bruce? If you need your dose of the big-chinned man, you can check him out in episodes of "Burn Notice".

What about the rest of you, does this seem like a pretty good idea or is this just too stupid to become a reality?

It looks like Summit is on a roll with casting the cop thriller "Man on a Ledge". They recently scooped up Anthony Mackie to act alongside Sam Worthington in the Asger Leth picture, but Jamie Bell might be the next addition. He's in the middle of negotiations to join up on the cast, further catapulting him into "big boy roles".

It must be pretty good to be Jamie Bell with the line-up of films he's got under his belt. He looks to be dominating a majority of 2011, first leaping into action mode in the Channing Tatum starring picture "The Eagle".  Then he appears in the romantic drama "Jane Eyre" and tops off the year with Steven Spielberg's "The Adventures of Tintin: The Secret of the Unicorn".

"Man on a Ledge" is set to start filming sometime in 2011. The story centers on a female psychologist and a former NYPD officer who is threatens to jump to his death. "Ledge" is expected to be released in theaters sometime in 2012.

So, we all know that Darren Aronofsky was set to helm a remake version of the original Robocop back in 2008.

And we also know that, a year later, Aronofsky decided to leave this project and direct the psychological thriller Black Swan instead.

Soon, we all had a chance to hear some rumors that director had left Robocop because he disagreed with MGM’s plans to make the film 3D. But now, finally, Aronofsky explained his reason for this decision.

In an interview with MTV, he said that the reason initial plans for Robocop fell through was due to the financial state of MGM, adding:

“The studio is in question, as everyone knows, with ‘The Hobbit’ and all that stuff, and ‘Black Swan’ was ready to go. It just became an easy decision.”

Aronofsky also explained that it had nothing to do with 3D or his interest in the project saying: “All that stuff with the 3D. I don’t know where that came from. Actually, I do know where that came from.

I did one Q&A and someone asked me about 3D and it was before I saw Cameron’s film and I wasn’t that into it at the time. Someone connected that to Robocop. There’s no truth to that story.

With the right project, I’m totally into 3D. Scorsese’s working in 3D on ‘The Invention of Hugo Cabret’. I am very curious what that’s going to be. Like everyone, I thought ‘Avatar’ was an incredible experience.

I’m also interested in what someone like John Waters would do in 3D. That’s when it starts to become interesting, when you start to see it used in very interesting, different ways.

There is a backlash at this point, and I think that’s just because it’s been overexposed, but that’s just because people are rushing to bank in on it. There’s no doubt that interesting things are going to be done in 3D.”

If you want a poster with merely a cool logo and nothing else, you've come to the right article. Yeah, that's basically what this teaser poster is for Paul W.S. Anderon's 3D film "The Three Musketeers". They're still filming at the moment so it's not surprising to see that we don't get a glimpse of anyone else.

The story, based off the Alexandre Dumas novel of the same name, recounts the adventures of a young man named d'Artagnan (Logan Lerman) after he leaves home to become a guard of the musketeers. The cast includes Milla Jovovich, Ray Stevenston, Matthew Macfadyen, Luke Evans and Mads Mikkelsen.

"The Three Musketeers" dives into theaters everywhere on April 15th, 2011.

Let Me In, the remake of Let The Right One In, which was a remake of Let That Girl In that was based off of the book Don't Let Anyone In from the adapted works of Stop Knocking On My Door which was a retelling of the classic fairy tale Nobody Uses The God Damn Doorbell Anymore has two new images and a clip for you to enjoy before getting drunk and doing something stupid this holiday weekend.

"Let Me In" tells a terrifying tale about an alienated 12-year old boy named Owen (Kodi Smit-McPhee) who is viciously bullied by his classmates and neglected by his divorcing parents. Achingly lonely, Owen spends his days plotting revenge on his middle school tormentors and his evenings spying on the other inhabitants of his apartment complex. His only friend is his new neighbor Abby (Chloe Moretz), an eerily self-possessed young girl who lives next door with her silent father (Oscar nominee Richard Jenkins). A frail, troubled child about Owen's age, Abby emerges from her heavily curtained apartment only at night and always barefoot, seemingly immune to the bitter winter elements. Recognizing a fellow outcast, Owen opens up to her and before long, the two have formed a unique bond.

Check out the two new images and clip below.
