JANE GOT A GUN (cast News)

• JANE GOT A GUN

There have been a few changes in the casting of Lynne Ramsey's soon-to-shoot western Jane Got a Gun. The Hollywood Reporter brings word that Michael Fassbender has departed the project (due to conflicts with the production schedule on X-Men: Days of Future Past). As a result, Joel Edgerton, previously attached to play the villain, will take over Fassbender's role and Jude Law will step in to play the antagonist.

The film, which will also star Natalie Portman and Rodrigo Santoro, features a script by Brian Duffield and centers on a woman (Portman) who must ask an ex-lover for help in order to save her outlaw husband from a gang out to kill him.

Law recently provided a voice for DreamWorks Animation's Rise of the Guardians and can be seen in theaters now in Steven Soderbergh's Side Effects

X-MEN: DAYS OF FUTURE PAST (Update)

• X-MEN: DAYS OF FUTURE PAST

So far all we know about the story of Bryan Singer’s X-Men: Day’s of Future Past is the comic the film would be  based on. It goes without saying Singer would be taking some liberties, and with the potential to tell a singular story that will cross through future and past it will be interesting to see just what Singer has in store.

In an interview with Digital Spy, Bryan Singer was asked about Magneto's arc in the upcoming film and whether his morality struggle, as seen in X-Men: First Class, will still play a role in the film, something which Singer essentially confirmed.

"Because I have both Ian McKellen and Michael Fassbender in the picture, you'll deal with both sides of that point of view and it really explores the relationship between Xavier and Magneto and the evolution of that relationship, where it came from and where it's going."

Also in their interview, James McAvoy revealed he doesn't know if he'll have to be bald for the upcoming sequel. Check out the full video below.

Set for release on July 18, 2014, X-Men: Days of Future Past features a script by Simon Kinberg and is said to be inspired by Chris Claremont and John Byrne's comic book storyline that ran in "Uncanny X-Men" #141 and 142 back in 1981. "Days of Future Past" introduced the idea of an alternate future for Marvel's mutants that grew out of the Brotherhood of Evil Mutants killing an important senator, leading to a future where all mutants are hunted by Sentinels.

The film's cast includes Hugh Jackman, Ian McKellen, Patrick Stewart, James McAvoy, Michael Fassbender, Nicholas Hoult, Anna Paquin, Ellen Page, Shawn Ashmore, Halle Berry, Omar Sy and Peter Dinklage

BIOSHOCK (Update.. No Movie)

• BIOSHOCK

A few years ago we got word that Gore Verbinski (Pirates of the Caribbean, Rango) had plans to develop BioShock as a feature film. Unfortunately, the project would fail to materialize, with very little information as to why. Irrational Games' creative director Kevin Levine reveals that it was he himself that ultimately decided to "kill" the project.

"My theory is that Gore wanted to make a hard R film," Levine recalls, "...Then 'Watchmen' came out, and it didn't do well for whatever reason. The studio then got cold feet about making an R rated $200 million film, and they said what if it was a $80 million film - and Gore didn't want to make a $80 million film... They brought another director in, and I didn't really see the match there - and 2K's one of these companies that puts a lot of creative trust in people. So they said if you want to kill it, kill it. And I killed it."

ComingSoon.net spoke with Verbinski some time back about his plans and he himself lamented the budget woes.

"I couldn't really get past anybody that would spend the money that it would take to do it and keep an R rating," he said. "Alternately, I wasn't really interested in pursuing a PG-13 version. Because the R rating is inherent. Little Sisters and injections and the whole thing. I just wanted to really, really make it a movie where, four days later, you're still shivering and going, 'Jesus Christ!'... It's a movie that has to be really, really scary, but you also have to create a whole underwater world, so the pricetag is high. We just didn't have any takers on an R-rated movie with that pricetag."

As for whether or not a BioShock movie could someday happen, neither Gore or Levine is fully writing off the possibility.

"It comes along so rarely," says Levine, "but I had the world, the world existed and I didn't want to see it done in a way that I didn't think was right. It may happen one day, who knows, but it'd have to be the right combination of people."

"That would be a great movie to do in 3D," Verbinski said. "I'd like to go into that world wearing a pair of glasses. I think in general, gaming is perfect for 3D. Anything where you're the protagonist... To make people feel on-edge."

EXPENDABLES 3 (Cast Update)

• EXPENDABLES 3

Well its been a while since we heard anything about Expendables 3, which left many people doubt the possibility of a third film altogether. However, Sylvester Stallone took to Twitter recently to give an update on the status of The Expendables 3.

Oh Yeah.. Jackie Chan

He said his currently in the process of writing the third installment that we can expect "mountains of surprises." He then added that "EX3 needs NEW blood and more humor.... The films were always meant to be more on the humorous side with moments of drama.”

Jackie Chan was quoted last December as saying that Stallone had asked him to be in the third film and he "agreed on the condition that I will be appearing as more than just a minor role with a few scenes."

Stallone, in his latest tweets, confirmed that he's talking to Chan, but that Steven Seagal won't be part of the film. "No S. Seagal, sorry, but maybe we get lucky with J. Chan!"

Then he again mentioned that he is looking to cast "some young bloods!!! By young I mean 22 to 27. Not big bruisers but tech wizard, super brains and a young woman who is not a sex symbol but funny, tough, REAL." 

Well going by Stallone’s description, I think that that he just might be hinting that he would like to get Jennifer Lawerence or Emma Stone on board with is. And im sure EXP 3 would be better for it.

Emma Stone and Jennifer Lawerence potentially Expendables.. My Picks

Who do you think the "young bloods" should be? I definitely think that Vin Diesel and Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson deserve a call up. But for someone a little younger I would probably say Joseph Gordon-Levitt!! Let me know who do you want to see in the latest Expendables.

THE AMAZING SPIDER-MAN 2 (News Update + Set Images)

• THE AMAZING SPIDER-MAN 2

Gwen Stacy meets Mary Jane

The Amazing Spider-Man sequel begun filming back in February, with the entire comic book community waiting to see if this latest tale of our favorite wall crawler will deliver. 

With that being said, we been getting loads of images from the set of the film. the latest images from the set revealed that Gwen Stacy (played by Emma Stone) and Mary Jane-Watson (played by Shailene Woodley) will come face to face.

Directed by Marc Webb, The Amazing Spider-Man 2 stars Andrew Garfield, Emma Stone, Jamie Foxx, Shailene Woodley, Dane DeHaan, Colm Feore, Paul Giamatti, Sally Field and Chris Cooper.

Here are the set pics:

In a recent interview Dane Dehaan spoke about his upcoming role in the Amazing Spider-Man 2 as well as spoke about the dynamic his past and present characters had/have with their fathers.

"First of all, 'Chronicle' was about a kid with an abusive father," said DeHaan. "'Place Beyond the Pines' is about a kid who doesn't know who his father is, and they're very different relationships. Obviously with Harry Osborn, the privilege of it is another dynamic. The relationship Harry has with Norman is a different dynamic. Every son has a relationship with their father, whether that father is there or not, and that always has an effect on the person whether they admit it or not. There's a lot of different ways those relationships are complicated."

As for whether there is more to be mined from this character that James Franco didn't touch on in Sam Raimi's trilogy, DeHaan seemed hesitant to draw a comparison.

"I dunno, I mean Franco did his thing, I'll do my thing," DeHaan stated dryly.

When the subject turned to his lack of comic book nerddom, DeHaan was much more outspoken, although hinting that he is indeed doing his homework with about a stack or two of Marvel trade paperbacks.

"I don't think you have to be a fan of something to do the job," he said matter-of-factly. "I think ultimately it's important that I'm familiar with past takes on the Osborn story, more for like common, know-it-all 'cause it's stuff I should know. My job as an actor is the same job, whether it’s a comic book movie or a gritty Derek Cianfrance drama, or a 'Chronicle,' or a 'Lawless,' which is to take a character and, for lack of better word, to breathe life into it. I'm a fan of acting!"

Testing the waters to see if DeHaan was interested in making his mark on another mega-franchise, we pointed out his remarkable similarity to a young Mark Hamill and asked him point-blank if he'd be interested in entering the "Star Wars" universe as a young Skywalker progeny in Star Wars: Episode VII.

"My dad would really like that!" DeHaan smiled. "My dad's a really big 'Star Wars' fan. I've never really been a 'Star Wars' fan, though. I dunno why, maybe it's 'cause my dad liked it so much. (laughs) I have no idea why, it's just never really been my thing. I've always gravitated towards comic book movies. I don't read comic books, but I love the last Batman franchise, Sam Raimi's second 'Spider-Man' was pretty sick. The first 'Iron Man' was really great, I couldn't wait for 'Captain America' to come out. Those are my guilty pleasures for sure."

In the May 2, 2014 release, for Peter Parker (Andrew Garfield), life is busy – between taking out the bad guys as Spider-Man and spending time with the person he loves, Gwen (Emma Stone), high school graduation can't come quickly enough. Peter hasn't forgotten about the promise he made to Gwen's father to protect her by staying away – but that's a promise he just can't keep. Things will change for Peter when a new villain, Electro (Jamie Foxx), emerges, an old friend, Harry Osborn (Dane DeHaan), returns, and Peter uncovers new clues about his past.
