NEWS/RUMORS (Nov 18-19th)


Justin Theroux (Tropic Thunder, Iron Mn 2) is writing a new draft of Space Invaders (not the video game). The original spec by Mike Lisbe and Nate Reger is about an astronaut who goes into space to catch his girlfriend in the act of cheating on him with a fellow astronaut. Comedian Will Arnett is attached to star in the romantic comedy.


Nikki Finke from Deadline Hollywood, who reported on casting for Marvel Studio's Thor is back with another interesting rumor. While I've taken most of the casting talk for Spider-Man 4 as gossip but if Nikki is reporting on it there must be heat behind it. She says that Anne Hathaway (Get Smart, Devil Wears Prada) is up for a leading female role in the film. Which could mean she's auditioned for Felicia Hardy.


Sam Neill (Daybreakers), Helen Mirren (Red), Abbie Cornish (Sucker Punch), Emily Barclay and Emilie de Ravin will lend their voices for Zack Snyder's animated film Guardians of Ga'Hoole. They will join Geoffrey Rush (Pirates of The Caribbean), Hugo Weaving (Matrix, Wolfman), David Wenham (300), Jim Sturgess (50 Dead Men Walking) and Ryan Kwanten (True Blood). Hugh Jackman (X-Men) was also attached at one point but his name has been removed from the recent press release.


Empire has released the UK quad poster for Daybreakers, which is much more impressive than the previous two posters.
