Kate Bosworth and Geoffrey Rush Highlighting Fantasy Pic Laundry Warrior

One is a starlet known for being the former girlfriend of Orlando Bloom while the other has acted alongside the actor in "Pirates of the Caribbean" trilogy, and now the two are brought together in one big screen project.

Yes, Kate Bosworth and Geoffrey Rush have both signed on to head the cast of "Laundry Warrior", a fantasy actioner produced by "Lord of the Rings" producer Barrie Osborne, which also has Korean star Jang Dong Gun in. Tony Cox reportedly has been picked up as well with Thomas Haden Church in advanced negotiations.

Bosworth will play a young woman hell-bent on revenge for abuses in her youth who is also a circus knife thrower while Rush is a town drunk who turns out to be a fighter in retirement. Jang, in the meantime, portrays a fugitive Asian warrior hiding out in the American badlands, where Bosworth and Rush's characters reside.

The English-language heroic tale will mark the feature directorial debut of Sngmoo Lee, who also penned the script. Filming is due to begin on November 12, 2007 in Auckland, New Zealand under a $40 million budget. Accompanied Osborne on the producer's chair are his Sad Flutes partners Michael Peyser and Lee Joo-ick.

Production is said to employ extensive green screen techniques while post-production will involve the use of effects houses including Weta Digital in New Zealand and others in Korea, India and the States.

"We draw on two great milieux, the Samurai movie and the Western," Peyser stated. "We will deliver a stylized, partly anime feel, with the techniques of '300,' but a look that is brighter."

Gerard Butler Gives Up His Escape from New York Stint

From now on, New Line Cinema has to look for a new actor to play Snake Plissken in its "Escape from New York." That's simply because Gerard Butler is no longer joining the project to portray the role.

Sad to say, but it's happening for real, Variety has just brought in a report that the "300" star has taken decision to quit the action flick, a remake of John Carpenter's 1981 movie of the same name. Reason for his departure is described to be of creative differences, which are not further explained.

New Line, on the other hand, has already picked up Jonathan Mostow to work on a script rewrite with an option for him to also direct, filling in the seat left by "Underworld" helmer Len Wiseman. Mostow, a native of Woodbridge, Connecticut, last directed 2003's "Terminator 3: Rise of the Machines" and currently is signed for four future film projects namely "Swiss Family Robinson", "Real Steel", "The Surrogates", and "Sub-Mariner."

Spider-Man 4 Finally Gets New Scribe on Board

Seemingly ignoring the impending Writers Guild strike, which may start as early as tomorrow, November 1, 2007, Sony Pictures is delightfully reported to have found a new screenwriter for its "Spider-Man 4."

According to Entertainment Weekly, the appointed talent turns out to be James Vanderbilt, the creative mind behind the script of David Fincher's gritty thriller "Zodiac." The man, however, may possibly not be able to pen anything for now due to the expected strike, but hopes are high that he will start writing almost immediately by the time the strike ends, should it really happens.

More to say, the site went on to surprisingly report that Sony is scheduling the project for a 2009 release despite the coming strike. In the meantime, it is still unclear whether Sam Raimi will return to directing saddle though he has already expressed his intention to be involved in some capacity in it.

Vanderbilt, a 1999 graduate of USC School of Cinema-Television, previously had three of his writing efforts all released in the year of 2003 namely "Darkness Falls", "Basic", and "The Rundown." He most recently was reported to be hired for writing the screenplay of "Against All Enemies" which Robert Redford is set to direct.

Seems November 16 this year won't only mark the launch date of Robert Zemeckis' anticipated motion capture flick "Beowulf" but more than that, it also will witness the revelation of a new trailer and title of - brace yourself, folks - secretive monster movie "1-18-08"!

Abrams-produced flick will have its new trailer launched in front of the animated epic's screenings in theaters that day, which is said to also unveil its real title for sure. Hope is being mounted that things regarding the film will become clearer following the release.

No word yet, however, whether the trailer will also be available online on the very same day of the launch or shortly after, so keep sticking to AceShowbiz for further news about it. "1-18-08", produced by the same studio making "Beowulf", Paramount Pictures, is directed by Matt Reeves from script penned by Drew Goddard, writer and producer of Abrams-created TV series "Alias" and "Lost."

Petra Nemcova Secretly Dating The Kingdom Director Peter Berg

Enjoying her high rising modeling career and leaves her broken heart behind, Petra Nemcova gets back on the dating saddle again.

The Czech supermodel is reported to be secretly dating film producer Peter Berg. They're said to have been dating for the past two weeks.

"Petra is completely over James," a friend of Petra told Kate Nicholl of the Dailymail.co.uk. "She was with Peter and two other friends at a restaurant called The Spotted Pig and they were all over each other. After dinner Peter moved over to be with Petra and they didn't stop kissing for the rest of the night. Other diners couldn't help but notice."

Petra previously dated British singer-songwriter James Blunt. Peter, elsewhere, is know as the director and producer of action thriller flick "The Kingdom."

No comment just yet from either parties concerning the dating report.

Petra and Peter, they would be a great couple indeed should the dating report is proven true.

Spice Girls Set to Star in Raunchy Campaign for Victoria's Secret

Hot on the heels of their reunion, new album, highly anticipated world tour, planned history TV documentary, and their being signed as the new faces of supermarket chain Tesco's, Spice Girls reportedly are in top-level talks with lingerie giant Victoria's Secret to pose in the brand's lingerie for its upcoming promotional campaign.

Group members, Victoria Adams, Melanie Brown, Melanie C, Geri Halliwell, Emma Bunton, are all said to be terrified about stripping down to their lingerie and have embarked on strict diet and exercise regimes in an attempt to look their best.

Mirror.co.uk quoted a source as saying, "The girls are working out like crazy to ensure there's no need for any airbrushing afterwards." Another source, elsewhere, revealed "The shoot wouldn't be tacky in any way and each girl would wear lingerie appropriate to their character."

The photo shoot deal has come after the band signed an 8 million pound sterling contract with the US lingerie giant to sell their new 15-track "Greatest Hits" album through the stores. Should the all-girl group and the company come to term of agreement, the photos will be released on November 15th, just before the Victoria's Secret Fashion Show at Hollywood's Kodak Theater.

Paris Hilton Will Pack Her Bags for Rwanda Sometime Next Year

It appears that nothing would stop Paris Hilton from visiting Rwanda, not even organization restructuring. The socialite has, despite the recent cancellation of her upcoming visit to Rwanda, said she's heading for the African country sometime next year.

In an interview posted on the Website of the syndicated entertainment TV show "Extra," Paris said "I want to travel the world. I feel like there's a lot I can do, and a lot I can do to help."

Paris then went on saying, "We were supposed to be going in November, but then the charity is doing restructuring and figuring things out. It's going to be for next year. I know (Rwanda) went through a lot of traumatic experiences, and I feel like if I go there, I can help save some people's lives."

Paris announced last month she'll be going to Rwanda in November after finishing work on her movie, "Repo! The Genetic Opera," upon being invited by Scott Lazerson of Playing for Good organization, which he helped found in 2006 to help high-end business and entertainment personalities become involved in a variety of charities benefiting children and families in need.

However, The Playing for Good Foundation announced last Thursday October 25th the cancellation of the highly anticipated trip.

"Due to the restructuring of the Playing for Good Foundation, the philanthropic trip to Rwanda that the foundation had previously planned with Paris Hilton has been postponed," the organization said in a statement.

Roberto Cavalli: "Jennifer Lopez Is Waiting for the Baby"

Her being mum on the persistent pregnancy rumors has been assumed as many as verification. And high profile fashion designer Roberto Cavalli is the next, after Jennifer Lopez's former boyfriend P. Diddy and husband Cris Judd, to spill the baby beans.

The flamboyant fashionista told People exclusively on Tuesday October 30th about designing for the expectant singer. "Well Jennifer Lopez, at this moment, she requests something very special because she is waiting for the baby," Cavalli said when being asked on what types of clothing he designs for his celebrity clients.

"It is so complicated because every week she is getting bigger," the designer revealed, adding that "The thing about Jennifer Lopez, she is a singer, she is a dancer. Most of the time when I prepare something for the tour, the performer, they want something very soft so they can dance and so they can move free."

Speculation on Lopez's pregnancy sparked early last month when she was spotted sporting a baby bump at the New York Fashion Week on September 11th, during which she launched her new "Just Sweet" clothing line collection for Spring 2008.

Husband Marc Anthony quickly denied the pregnancy reports, issued a statement through his publicist, saying "Everyone calls about this every month with the hopes that they'll hit the mark, but no. No."

Nevertheless, Lopez has made it official on her impeding motherhood when she accidentally revealed her baby bump at her concert in Connecticut early this month.

The pair sparked speculation of engagement after the model was spotted sporting a diamond and sapphire ring at an Indian music festival at the weekend. The ring is thought to have been from India, as Rajasthan is famed for its gemstones.

The Rolling Stones frontman, elsewhere, was in Rajasthan for a folk festival when Scott was spotted flaunting the striking piece of jewelry, only to fuel the much-talked engagement speculation.

Jagger and Scott, who's a fashion stylist and costume designer as well, have been dating for five years.

No comment uttered by both parties concerning the engagement report.

Pierce Brosnan Under Investigation for Alleged Battery

Los Angeles police are investigating Pierce Brosnan for an alleged scuffle with a photographer in Malibu.

The former James Bond actor was with his kids in a Malibu mall outside Mexican restaurant Casa Escobar last Friday October 26th when photographer Barry Rosen began taking pictures of him. Rosen, as reported by TMZ.com, says Pierce then said, "Why don't you get a real f**king job."

Rosen then began complimenting Brosnan on his performance in his James Bond roles, and shortly thereafter the actor allegedly told him "Why don't you f**k off, mate" and punched him in the ribs. A source in the know said Rosen then reacted by kicking Brosnan in the stomach.

Los Angeles County sheriff's spokesman Steve Whitmore said, "We are investigating Mr. Brosnan, who is alleged to have committed a battery," but declined to give more details because the investigation is still ongoing.

Whitmore, moreover, revealed results of the investigation will be referred to the Los Angeles County District Attorney's Office for a decision on whether to bring charges. Brosnan's spokeswoman was not immediately available for comment.

Britney Spears' bid for custody of her two young sons has been denied.

Superior Court Commissioner Scott Gordon issued a court's ruling Tuesday October 30th, stated in it that Spears will not regain custody of her kids just yet, and is instead granted three times monitored visits a week; two from noon to 7 p.m. and one from noon to 10 a.m. the next morning, with sons Sean Preston and Jayden James.

The ruling, moreover, states Spears must put her sons in car seats when they are being driven.

The court's ruling also cited some details of an October 19th report submitted by parenting coach Lisa Hacker about her observations of Spears with her children. Click the link above to read all the details concerning Britney's custody.

Columbus Short Is Not Green Lantern

We’re getting to the point where it almost seems cooler to have rejected a role in the upcoming JLA movie than to have accepted one. Look at the amount of talent that has said, “no,” to the powers behind the movie: Mary Elizabeth Winstead and Jessica Biel for Wonder Woman, Tyrese Gibson for Green Lantern, and, of course, the heavies Christian Bale and Brandon Routh as Batman and Superman respectively.

A new name has been added to the list – not as a cast member but as an actor who has turned down a part in the Justice League movie: Columbus Short (Stomp the Yard). Reportedly, Short was offered a shot at wearing the ring of the Green Lantern, but opted not to take part.

Short told MTV Movie Blog that he thinks JLA is going to be huge, but isn’t a movie he wants to be a part of due to the popcorn factor. As the actor isn’t the first actor to mention that (and probably won’t be the last), I can’t help but worry that the movie will suffer from a rushed script.

Think about it: Batman Begins, Spider-Man 2, X-Men United, these are all high-bar superhero movies. They also all manage to survive with a significantly low cheese factor. They’re just good stories that are about superheroes. It sounds like JLA is trying to be a good superhero movie, which almost always leads to cheesy plot elements.

Rhames To Hit Audience With Phantom Punch

The story of Sonny Liston is both uplifting and heartbreaking. The son of a sharecropper with twenty-four siblings spent his early years in jail before rising from the ashes and claiming the world heavyweight title in 1962. His ferocious title reign should have lasted the better part of a decade, enshrining him alongside Jack Dempsey and Jack Johnson, but instead his legacy was forever tarnished by an over-exaggerated injury and a phantom punch.

According to The Hollywood Reporter, Ving Rhames has signed on to portray Liston in a biopic entitled Phantom Punch. The green light finally came after a lengthy battle with Hollywood studios to get funding. On top of baring a striking resemblance to the fallen champion, Rhames has publically claimed numerous times to be fascinated by Liston’s fall from grace. It truly may be the role the former Con Air star was born to play.

Filming is yet to begin and no definitive time table has been announced; so, I’d expect the final product to be more than a year away. I’m already getting excited. I’m one of the few people who still love boxing, and Liston’s unnecessary and conspiracy-ridden demise has always fascinated me.

Alanis Morissette Is A Fan Of Dick

I’ve always had this thing for Alanis Morissette. It’s not that she’s necessarily all that pretty, or that I think her music is that great (though come on she’s crazy talented), she’s just always seemed like one of those really cool chicks; the type you’d want to marry and spend the rest of your life trying to save the whales with… even if you hate whales and love carving tie tacks out of whale bone and even though you probably wouldn’t have to because she’s cool enough to simply let you be you. But you wouldn’t be you, you’d rather be her vision of you, so for her you’d give up the endangered species arts and crafts. As a bonus, if you ever screw up and dump her, she’ll write a song about how much you suck. Who wouldn’t want that? I would.

HR says she’s trying to launch some sort of film career, but since she’s Alanis she’s picked something worth doing instead of something that people will actually see. She’s joined the cast of Radio Free Aftermath, a semi-biographical movie about famed and fascinating science fiction author Philip K. Dick. The film incorporates the crazy visions of what’s going on in Dick’s head along with the reality of what’s happening around him, so Alanis will be in a sense playing two roles. She shows up as a glamorous singer named Sylvia in one of Dick’s visions of a record executive. Meanwhile in the real world Sylvia’s an ordinary secretary in remission from lymphoma.

Morissette’s not just in the movie, she claims to actually have read a book. Rare among musicians, but true. She says, “I am a big fan of Philip K. Dick's poetic and expansively imaginative books… I feel blessed to portray Sylvia, and to be part of this story being told in film.”

Jason Statham Still Crankin

A sequel to Jason Statham’s adrenaline junky movie Crank was being talked about earlier this year, and now it looks like it’ll happen. Variety says that Jason Statham will be back and kicking people in the head for the sequel. They’re calling it Crank 2: High Voltage instead of the much more logical title I suggested: Crank 2: Still Crankin.

The original film starred Statham as an assassin injected with a poison which would kill him if his heart-rate dropped. It was kind of like Speed, but on foot. In Still Crankin, Statham’s Chev Chelios character is stuck in an unbelievably similar situation. This time a Chinese mobster steals his heart and replaces it with a battery-powered heart which requires regular jolts of electricity to continue functioning. I don’t know if the movie will be any good, but I look forward to watching Jason Statham electrocute himself repeatedly. Payback’s a bitch Jason, you never should have made that awful piece of crap The Transporter.

George Clooney For GI Joe?

With JLA close to finally announcing a cast, the next movie likely to start beating you down with an endless supply of incorrect casting rumors is the Paramount movie adaptation of GI Joe. The latest bit of casting gossip on the film involves a name so big, it’s almost stupid to believe its true.

IESB claims that George Clooney has been offered the role of Duke in GI Joe. Originally word was that the production’s producers wanted Mark Wahlberg for the part. But, as a way of applying logic to this situation, they’re throwing out the idea that after a string of bad box office performers like Michael Clayton, Clooney walked away from Joe Carnahan’s White Jazz in order to latch onto a guaranteed Hollywood blockbuster and GI Joe could be it.

I don’t buy it. With all due respect to the great guys at IESB, their record on GI Joe casting rumors isn’t exactly spotless. They’re responsible for circulating that old Jason Statham for Action Man rumor which Statham recently blew to pieces by saying he had no connection of any kind to the project. And by the way, this is George Clooney we’re talking about here. I really doubt if the guy cares about how much money his movies are making. For the past few years he’s been pretty content to focus on doing work that he believes in rather than movies which will make tons of money. Clooney’s made it fairly clear that he has his wad of cash and now he’s making his way through Hollywood doing quality work. If he did want to do a blockbuster, he’d have his pick, and he’d be more likely to pick something that… oh I don’t know… isn’t based on a cartoon which was invented primarily as a platform for selling war toys to 8-year-old boys.

Lenny Kravitz Marks Feature-Starring Debut in Indie Flick Push

Taking foray into film industry, Lenny Kravitz will make his big screen acting debut in an independent film feature titled "Push", Variety has reported.

The rocker is being lined up alongside the likes of Mo'nique, Paula Patton, and newcomer Gabourey Sidibe in the cast, all coming under the direction of "Shadowboxer" helmer Lee Daniels. Here he will play a male nurse who shows kindness to lead character Clareece "Precious" Jones, an overweight, illiterate African-American teen in Harlem.

Billed as Jones is Sidibe, who beat out 300 young girls to win the role in the casting calls held around the States. Meanwhile, Mo'nique will act as her mother and Patton a teacher at an alternative school who helps her find an alternative path in her life.

Project, scripted by Geoffrey Fletcher based on the bestselling novel by Sapphire aka Ramona Lofton, is a co-production of Lee Daniels Entertainment and Smokewood Entertainment Group, which is also financing the flick. Shooting is just getting under way in New York with Gary Magness, Sarah Siegel-Magness, Lisa Cortes, and Tom Heller all executive producing.

Daniel Craig Bound to Four More Bond Movies

The suave British super-spy will still go blond at least for four more installments of his adventures. MGM chairman and CEO Harry Sloan recently stated to The Hollywood Reporter that Daniel Craig has signed on to play 007 in four more James Bond films.

It is unclear, however, whether the number includes "Bond 22" which has already been in pre-production for a December start. Nevertheless, this will make Craig the third actor to reprise the character most after Roger Moore and Sean Connery, that's if he does sticks to the contract.

Craig was confirmed to be the sixth acting talent to portray James Bond on October 14, 2005 and subsequently made his first appearance as the agent in last year's "Casino Royale." His portrayal of a more rugged, muscular style Bond proved to be a hit among the audience, boosting the movie's total gross to over $594 million worldwide.

Alanis Morissette Takes Acting Turn in Radio Free Albemuth

Amidst her state of being busy preparing her new album, "Flavors of Entanglement", Alanis Morissette appears to have enough space to add an acting stint into her schedule. The Hollywood Reporter has just revealed that the Grammy Award-winning singer is about to star in "Radio Free Albemuth", a big screen adaptation of the Philip K. Dick semi-autobiographical novel.

Morissette is learned to play a woman named Sylvia who shows up in the vision of Nick, a record label executive played by Jonathan Scarfe, as a glamorous singer. In reality, she, however, turns out to be an ordinary woman in unexpected remission from lymphoma who, after appearing in Nick's visions, gets a job as his secretary.

"I am a big fan of Philip K. Dick's poetic and expansively imaginative books," so she said in expressing her delight upon securing a slot in the project. "I feel blessed to portray Sylvia, and to be part of this story being told in film."

The Canadian native is therefore joining other talents in the cast that include Shea Whigham, Katheryn Winnick, and Hanna Hall, recently spotted in Rob Zombie's "Halloween." Pic has already started production in and around Los Angeles with John Alan Simon helming from his own script.

George Clooney in Line for G.I. Joe's Duke?

Initial possible candidate to play Duke in "G.I. Joe", or "Untitled Stephen Sommers Project" as Paramount Pictures refers to, has popped up to the surface. The actor in question surprisingly turns out to be Hollywood heartthrob George Clooney, according to IESB.net.

The site appears to have heard whispers from industry sources saying that the A-list actor has been offered the part and is quite sure that the tidbit is legit though it does advise its readers to take it with a grain of salt.

Rumor has been circulating that Clooney's departure from Joe Carnahan's "White Jazz" was not solely because of scheduling conflicts, but also due to his intention of looking for a blockbuster title he could star in. It is thereby possible that "G.I. Joe" could be the one fitting the bill.

As for the character Clooney is speculated to be up for, Duke is the code name of First Sergeant Conrad S. Hauser and one of the key characters in the original military-themed toys line. He is described to be fluent in English, French, and German, as well as several Southeast Asian dialects while once served as an instructor in four different Special Forces schools.

Peter Jackson-Directed Lovely Bones Set Pics Put Online

Peter Jackson's new drama flick "The Lovely Bones" has already started its principal photography, and first pictures from the movie's set in Willistown Township, Pennsylvania now are delightfully available online to grab, thanks to The Philadelphia Inquirer.

In one image, as seen on the above left, Jackson was captured to seriously discuss a scene with the flick's cast member Rose McIver, who was holding onto a Golden Retriever called Brava. Other images show the crews' preparation in shooting the project with local residents going out of their houses to witness the filming.

Pic, based on the Alice Sebold' best-selling novel, recently created headline as actor Ryan Gosling was suddenly replaced by Mark Wahlberg for the role of Jack Salmon. Speculations then rose guessing Gosling was fired from the film due to his demanding nature, but the 26-year-old quickly denied it, stating he was just too young for the part, the father of a murdered teenage girl.

"The age of the character versus my real age was always a concern of mine. Peter and I tried to make it work and ultimately it just didn't," he told Parade magazine. "I think the film is much better off with Mark Wahlberg in that role. Peter Jackson is an incredible filmmaker and I'm here to tell you that he has things up his sleeve that are going to blow peoples' minds. I'm going to be the first person in line to buy tickets."

We've already got several on-set videos and pictures from the star-studded "Wanted (2008)", but it's undeniably great to have those from the source itself, like we are being presented with now.
That's right, Universal has delightfully sent Empireonline.com the first batch of the production stills from the fantasy action thriller, based on Mark Millar's graphic novel series.
