Is Chloe Moretz joining "Dark Shadows" cast?

A few days ago talented young actress Chloe Grace Moretz (or simply, 'Chloe Moretz') tweeted from her official account that she just 'booked a huge project', which involves really cool actors (she said 'HUGE' a couple of times, LOL). Came to speculation that she's going to star in "The Hunger Games" in which she actually lost Katniss Everdeen role to Jennifer Lawrence. But then another speculation comes up that she is actually going to star alongside every women-obsession Johnny Depp in the upcoming Tim Burton film "Dark Shadows". That is HUGE!

According to Movie Web it was revealed that Moretz will play Elizabeth Collins Stoddard's (played by Michelle Pfeiffer) daughter, Carolyn. While a couple of days ago, it was announced that Thomas McDonell also signed in to play younger version of Barnabas Collins which will be played by Johnny Depp.

"Dark Shadow" is adapted from the popular supernatural television series at the '60s. With Tim Burton helming this project, I'm very sure that he will add astonishing visual art and effects! Besides Depp, Pfeiffer, McDowell, and allegedly Moretz, the movie also cast Eva Green, Bella Heathcote, and Jackie Earle Haley so far.

ETA: The Deadline confirmed that Moretz is indeed joining the cast of "Dark Shadows". THIS IS SUCH A GREAT NEWS!!! Congrats Chloe!

Peter Jackson wants Bret McKenzie back for "The Hobbit"

Peter Jackson is reportedly wanting "The Flight of the Choncords" star Bret McKenzie to reprise his role as Figwit in the upcoming "The Hobbit". For those who didn't notice (like myself), McKenzie actually appeared in "The Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship of the Ring" for a blink of an eye scene, and "The Lord of the Rngs: The Return of the King" for a bit. Here's how The Playlist explains McKenzie's very tiny role:

During the council meeting where Frodo says, “I will take it!” the camera pans over to a pouty elf. The story goes that a fan said, “Frodo is great ... who is that?” thus spawning the nickname of Figwit. He reappeared in “The Lord of the Rings: The Return of the King” alongside Liv Tyler and that has been his extent so far in the franchise, but perhaps not for long.

"The Hobbit" is currently filming in New Zealand, which first part is set to hit theatres on December 2012.

First on-set photos of Jeremy Renner and Gemma Arterton on "Hansel & Gretel: Witch Hunters" set!

Thanks to Accidental Sexiness we now have the first look of Academy Award-nominee Jeremy Renner and British beauty Gemma Arterton on set of their upcoming movie "Hansel & Gretel: Witch Hunters". Yes, it is based on the popular folkrole about two siblings lost in the woods and got kidnapped by an old witch, but seems like the story-telling of this film will be way darker, as Hansel & Gretel are two grown-ups.

Three newest stills of "Transformers: Dark of the Moon" have been finally released! The first one features Josh Duhamel and his squad running with an explosion behind them (you know in action movies when the studs turn around and then the building behind them explodes but they are like don't care about it while walking in slow motion? xD), and then Shia LaBeouf wearing a very neat outfit running from an explosion as well inside an office (Sam Witwicky is no longer a nerdy clumsy high school boy nor college guy ~ he's a real man now!), then the last one shows Shia and his new gorgeous co-star Rosie Huntington-Whiteley hiding behind a school bus, after an explosion as well. The stills are so 'explosive', check them out!

Watch: First 6-minutes of "Sucker Punch"

We all know that "Sucker Punch" has been receiving dissenting critics over the past days -- but even the haters did agree that Zack Snyder put a really great effort in visualizing the 'artwork'. Warner Bros. gave us a special sneak peek of the first 6-minutes of the movie, which is AWESOME.

Exclusive - Six Minutes of Sucker Punch. Watch more top selected videos about: Clips, Preview

Started with a Warner Bros. logo covered in a stage courtain, it all opened and we'll see a broadway-set like on stage room. And then we finally get to see the leading lady Baby Doll (played by Australian actress Emily Browning) sitting on her bedroom looking very worried while the outside is raining. The background music, is a remake of Eurythmics' 1983 hit "Sweet Dreams (Are Made of This)" sang by Browning herself. I like Browning's version much much more since it stimulates the chills and thrills.

Baby Doll runs to the other room only to find her mother already covered in white sheet -- she's dead. Her sister cried and fell to her knees, while their father -- presumably antagonist, makes a devilish smile while Baby Doll seems to be worried and afraid. After the funeral, their father finally gets the last testament of his deceased wife, reading it while the writing "possession of two daughters" is focused. He then goes to molest his daughters, Baby Doll's sister is hiding in a closet while Baby Doll makes a way out -- to take a gun.

Baby Doll comes back with the gun when her father breaks the closet's door. She tries to shoot but it misses and hits the lamp, which apparently hurts her sister herself. Her father calls the police, and eventually Baby Doll is taken to Lennox House, special place (read: jail) for people who (are allegedly) have mental illness. There Baby Doll's journey to escape with her sexay friends begin.

Despite the many many negative reviews I am still eager to watch this movie -- I've been an avid fan of Zack Snyder since "300"! Hopefully it will arrive soon here in Indonesia.

Hailee Steinfeld is in talks to star "Sleeping Beauty"

Oscar nominated actress Hailee Steinfeld is reportedly in talks to star a leading role in upcoming fairy tale-based film "Sleeping Beauty". This project is written by Lindsay Devlin, who will revise the whole Sleeping Beauty tale in which Steinfeld will have a lot more to do than 'sleeping' by entering her dream world and has to find a way out from it while waiting for the prince charming to rescue her. Hmm, sounds interesting!

Seems like the fairytale films have been trending -- started with the success of Tim Burton's Oscar winning "Alice in Wonderland" which made $ 1 billion on the box office. A few titles have been started and currently in developing phase; "Snow White and the Huntsman" which stars Kristen Stewart and Charlize Theron (no Viggo Mortensen anymore, he's out), "The Brothers Grimm: Snow White" which currently cast Armie Hammer in addition to Julia Roberts, "Peter Pan Begins" with Channing Tatum in it, "Hansel and Gretel: Witch Hunter" starring Jeremy Renner and Gemma Arterton, and an underdeveloped titles such as "Maleficent", the dark witch of "Sleeping Beauty" which was reportedly will be helmed by Tim Burton and starring Angelina Jolie.

Meanhwile, the 14-years-old "True Grit" star Steinfeld has been stealing Hollywood scenes after her brilliant performance was recognized and snapped a shot for an Oscar nomination earlier this year. I don't know if it was a lucky hit, since it was her first ever film she ever starred in. Well I guess real talent will speak at the right time, no? Anyways, I'm pretty excited about this "Sleeping Beauty" project -- hopefully they will make a "Beauty and the Beast" one!

Chris Pine is back for "Star Trek" sequel while the Jack Ryan franchise is stalled

Striking blue-eyed actor Chris Pine is reportedly will reprise his portrayal as legendary Captain James T. Kirk on the untitled "Star Trek" sequel. It is still unclear whether J.J. Abrams will return as the director, but Paramount Pictures is making sure that the leading actor won't go anywhere.

This decision is apparently made since an untitled Jack Ryan project, in which Pine will play the new action character, is currently stalled because of a slow script writing process. Pine was officially selected to portray Jack Ryan, an iconic character appeared in most of Tom Clancy novels, which was previously portrayed by Ben Affleck in "Sum of all Fears", Harrison Ford in "Clear and Present Danger", "Patriot Games", "The Secret World of Spying", and Alec Baldwin in "The Hunt for Red October".

Chris Pine made a huge move in his movie career by starring in action flicks, which mostly successful: Tony Scott's "Unstoppable" and Darwin Tremor's "Smokin Aces", after starring in numerous chick-comedy-flick "Princess Diaries 2: Royal Engagement" and "Just My Luck". He is currently in talks to many movie productions, including the adaptation of "Akira" and Doug Liman's next project "Moon". Well I personally love to see him in any genre though, he seems so gritty when it comes to the character. I'm hoping to see more Chris Pine this year!

Amy Adams is Lois Lane in "Superman: Man of Steel"

I couldn't do anything but squee-ing after hearing this news: yet another awesome actress to join Henry Cavill, Diane Lane, and Kevin Costner! America's sweetheart and two-times Academy Award nominee actress Amy Adams is the new Lois Lane in the Zack Snyder's reboot "Superman: Man of Steel", LA Times reported.

"There was a big, giant search for Lois," Snyder says. "For us it was a big thing and obviously a really important role. We did a lot of auditioning but we had this meeting with Amy Adams and after that I just felt she was perfect for it."

If the previous rumors about Lois Lane casting calls were true, then Adams has officially beaten out other thight competitors with the likes of Kristen Stewart (seriously -- I can't imagine this girl becoming Lois Lane!), Jessica Biel, Malin Akerman, Dianna Agron, Lindsay Lohan, Amanda Seyfried, Mila Kunis, and Natalie Portman. Adams is also the successor of Kate Bosworth who previously played the role in 2006's "Superman Returns" along side Brandon Routh.

What I like about Adams is that she has rather broader fans and audience. She stole the teenagers' heart with her performance in Disney's "Enchanted", but caught the critics attention in "The Fighter" as well. Up next, you can see her on indie drama "On The Road" where she stars alongside Kristen Stewart, Garrett Hedlund, and Sam Riley and "The Muppets".
