Henry Cavill Will Star In The Great Wall

Variety reports that Henry Cavill (Immortals) will lead the film The Great Wall. It will feature around the mystery behind the construction of China's Great Wall. Edward Zwick will be directing who is best known for the rather large films Glory, The Siege, The Last Samurai, Blood Diamond and Defiance. Last Samurai screenwriter Marshall Herskovitz wrote the script with Zwick. There might be genre/supernatural elements as Max Brooks best known for writing the novel World War Z helped create the story and will produce. Cavill previously worked with Legendary Pictures and Warner Bros. on Zack Snyder's Man of Steel. We'll be seeing Henry play the lead in the upcoming action thriller The Cold Light of Day and the Man of Steel next summer.

Russell Crowe And Liam Neeson Could Join Noah

Deadline reports that director Darren Aronofsky (Black Swan) and 20th Century Fox is pursuing Russell Crowe for the lead role in his bible epic Noah. The part was expected to go to an actor in his 40-50s and Crowe seems perfect for the role. Having earning an Oscar for his performance in Gladiator a movie I assume will influence Noah. Screenwriter John Logan isn't a stranger to the large budget epics either. Logan's previous scripts include Gladiator, The Last Samurai and the upcoming Bond film Skyfall.

Liam Neeson is also being looked at for another role in the film. It's not revealed what that part would be but it could end up the villain of the picture. Previously it had been teased that a villain would make his/her way onto the Ark.
