IS MORENA BACCARIN THE WASP IN "THE AVENGERS"? SAM WORTHINGTON & EVA MENDES IN "LAST NIGHT". JULIA ROBERTS IS THE EVIL QUEEN IN "SNOW WHITE". JULIAN ASSANGE GETS A FILM

The hottest superhero news of the day is that THE AVENGERS will have a new female character: it seems that Nick Fury (to be played by Samuel L. Jackson) will have a female partner while joining Thor (Chris Hemsworth), Captain America (Chris
Evans
), Hulk (Mark Ruffalo), Iron Man (Robert Downey Jr) and Hawkeye (Jeremy Renner) in the super hero extravaganza. And according to fresh news, lovely Morena Baccarin (V, FIREFLY) has already screen tested for that role. It's been said previously that Scarlett Johansson's Black Widow will be the only major female hero in the cast, but according to rumors Morena could play Janet van Dyne a.k.a The Wasp.

This spring will bring us a new drama LAST NIGHT with an interesting cast: Sam Worthington, Eva Mendes and Keira Knightley star in the story which centers on a married couple apart for an evening when the husband (Sam) takes a business trip with a colleague (Eva) to whom he's attracted. While he's resisting temptation, his wife (Keira) encounters her past love.

SHORT HEADLINES Julia Roberts is in final negotiations to take the role of the Evil Queen in Tarsem Sing's THE BROTHERS GRIMM: SNOW WHITE in which Snow White bands together with the Seven Dwarfs to take on the Evil Queen after she kills Snow White's father and destroys their kingdom. The biggest hero of all freedom loving world Julian Assange will get his film based on "New York Times" article "The Boy Who Kicked the Hornet's Nest", and some rumors say Paul Bettany could play him.

  1. Last Night sounds like a cute rom/com or is it a drama? Interesting casting that haven't been grouped together before!

  2. I love Morena, she is so wicked sexy. She would definitely make a great Wasp. Last Night...hmmm not a Keira or Sam fan so I probably won't see it. This Assange movie sounds very interesting, he is a great force for truth. I hope the rumors are true about Paul Bettany.

  3. I love, love, love Morena! I have no idea what Wasp is, but I'm sure she'll be great!

    And Oh! Julia Roberts as an evil queen! She wont even need to act!

  4. Sounds good.

  5. Are fairy tales going to take the place of vampire stories? Seems to be more and more of them that are not necessarily the merry Disneyesque versions.

  6. Morena might be better suited to the Human Girrafe. I kid. She is gorgeous, but man does she have a long neck.

  7. I can't for the life of me imagine Juilia playing anything evil...oh snap...she must be bored lol

  8. I hope LAST NIGHT will find a distributor in the US, but it probably would end up being a rental for me. Here's a trailer for the movie for anyone interested: http://flixchatter.wordpress.com/2010/11/09/conspicuous-trailer-of-the-week-last-night/

    Morena is a gorgeous girl, even with a pixie cut she's stunning. That'd be a coveted role is she is cast in The Avengers. Not surprised though as she's worked with Whedon before.

  9. Morena Baccarin is so beautiful.

  10. Let's see if Sam Worthington can channel some real acting power in "Last Night" because I thought his last few performances were underwhelming.

  11. Good to see Morena picking up more work. I say that for all the Firefly cast though. :)

    Sounds like an interesting drama. I can't picture Julia Roberts as an evil queen. Guess we'll see whether she can pull it off or not.

  12. Roberts in a villain's role? That could be interesting.

    ReplyDelete
  13. Julia Roberts should be a good evil queen, she's been practicing being evil her whole life.

    no, it's not romantic film, it's a drama.

    @Melissa
    I can't stand Keira either, so I hope Eva will end up with Sam in the film :)

    @Charley
    I totally agree- Julia is pure evil! I've always sensed some negative energy around her presence.

    @Avalon
    glad you like the new poll

    ah, Lee, you know that once Hollywood grabs onto something, it doesn't let it for a long time

    @Budd
    she also has very long legs if you haven't noticed :)

    @Falsy
    you can't??? I've always thought of her as of witch :)

    @Flixy
    they did find a distributor it's coming out in April

  16. @Zoe
    she is!

    @Matty
    that's his only problem. He got so many huge roles in the biggest possible films, and didn't really prove himself, so he need to show some acting unless he wants to disappear.

    @MPax
    we all support FIREFLY cast greatly (except that young girl, Summer Glau,I'm not into her at all).

    @Alex
    it could, although I don't want her in Tarsem's film :(

    @Raw
    I couldn't agree with you more!

  17. I so totally cannot wait for Last Night....
    Been excited about this one for a year now.

  18. I so hope they include the Wasp. She is a terrific character in the new 'Avengers' cartoon. And I love anything Morena is in. She would be perfect with her short hair and awesome body.

  19. @Andrew
    really? That's nice to hear.

    @Kal
    she will be a great addition if she gets the role, THE AVENGERS really need more female heroes. I wouldn't mind if Eva Longoria got the role either.

  20. The picture of Morena Baccarin freaks me out a little. It looks like the lower part of her leg is missing.

    ReplyDelete
  21. I thought the Avengers were British? Oh well, I think it's neat. Cool concept for Snow White.

    ReplyDelete
  22. I do like Morena as an actress. I hope she is included in the cast.

    ReplyDelete
  23. Sam & Eva, sounds like it's going to be interesting :D

    And I think Morena will do a good job! :)

    ReplyDelete
  24. of course assange would get his own movie. they'll call it "the public privacies: social network 2, electric boogaloo"

    ReplyDelete
  25. very interesting Dezz .. Fairy tales seem to be the hottest thing in movies now.

    heh, it's not missing it's, she's just bending her knee :)

    @Clarissa
    those are not the same AVENGERS, Clarissa :) these are the super heroes not the spies :)

    @Lynda
    me too, she deserves her chance on film too.

  27. @Doo
    they sure are a steamy combination :)

    @Vics
    I'm sighing with you, sister :)

    @Jon
    not sure I get it, but I support Assange and his fight

    @Donna
    it's true, Donna, but it's better fairy tales than zombies and vampires :)

    ReplyDelete
  28. Morena as Wasp would've been the best thing about Avengers so far. But alas... :(
    I don't really like any of these characters. I'll watch this film, and maybe even like it, but I would love to watch something else (someone else) instead.

    ReplyDelete
  29. Yes, Morena would've been the best choice, just like Nathan Fillion would've been million times better choice for Hawkeye than Renner :(
