One more aspect of the film is being revealed as FilmMusicRepoter (via ThePlaylist) says that Rick Smith of the electronic group Underworld will be scoring the film. The group along with John Murphy worked together to compose the score for Sunshine. Not to mention Underworld tracks being used in Trainspotting and The Beach.

Vincent Cassel And Léa Seydoux Will Star In Beauty And The Beast



Deadline reports that there will be a new live-action Beauty And The Beast film thanks to French director Christophe Gans. It's unknown at this point if it will be similar to the original film French film from 1946 or a new contemporary take but Gans is a massively visual director and will deliver the goods. If anything it will be a serious and dark take on the classic fairytale. Chistophe gave us the amazing period genre epic Brotherhood Of The Wolf. Even though it was a French film, it hit all the notes a giant Hollywood fantasy action film would. I wouldn't be shocked to see this movie make a giant splash in North America.

They also report they've lined up their leads with Vincent Cassel possibly playing The Beast Prince. Cassel has had a slew of successes in Hollywood with roles that include Ocean's Twelve, Eastern Promises, Black Swan, Dangerous Method, Joan of Arc and the upcoming Danny Boyle thriller Trance. The up and coming actress Léa Seydoux best known to American audiences from Inglourious Basterds, Midnight In Paris and MI4: Ghost Protocol will play Belle. Vincent also had a stand out role in Brotherhood of The Wolf so it's not shocking to see him take the lead here.

James McAvoy, Rosario Dawson & Vincent Cassel Join Danny Boyle's Trance

Deadline confirms that James McAvoy, Rosario Dawson and Vincent Cassel have joined Danny Boyle's Trance. The film is expected to be as dark as Boyle's previous films such as Trainspotting and Shallow Grave. McAvoy will play the lead which Michael Fassbender originally tested for.

"An assistant at an auction house masterminds the heist and teams up with a gang of thieves, but suffers a blow to the head and wakes up with amnesia. He is the only one who knows where the painting’s location is and after his continued failure to remember, the gang begins to suspect duplicity on his part and hire a female hypnotist to get into his brain."

Films That Should Be Made: Vampire Hunter D - Bloodlust



It's only a matter of time before Vampire Hunter D gets adapted to a live-action movie. It's noted that at this point no official announcement has been made that any studio is interested. What really grabbed me about "Blood Lust" is it's mix of Victorian style with technology. The only director I can think of when watching the anime is Terry Gilliam. For some odd reason it reminds me of Brothers Grimm but a little darker and violent.



Gilliam is the type of director who can pull off a film of this size on a budget it's most likely going to get, which wouldn't be much. Although he doesn't make mainstream films this one could be just off-beat enough for him.



-Johnny Depp as D.



-Vincent Cassel (Eastern Promises) as Meier Link.



-Lena Headey (Brothers Grimm) as Leila.



-Lily Cole (Doctor Parnassus) as Charlotte Elbourne.



-Natalia Avelon (8 Miles High) as Bloody Countess Camilla.



-Ron Perlman (Hellboy) as Borgoff.



-Alan Tudyk (Death At A Funeral) as Kyle.



-Roland Kickinger (Terminator Salvation) as Nolt.
