Jay-Z Providing Score For THE GREAT GATSBY

This seems like another interesting composing move by Baz Lurman as it's being reported that Jay-Z will be scoring The Great Gatsby. His existing music has already been used in it's promotional material.

Bourne Legacy Moves On

Tony Gilroy, writer of the first three Bourne films and director of Duplicity and Michael Clayton, is writing and directing the Bourne spin-off "Bourne Legacy." Empire Magazine reports that he is currently taking meetings with several actors to replace Matt Damon.

Yes, Bourne Legacy will NOT star Matt Damon. Specific reasons can only be speculated but there haven’t been any reports that would suggest a negative separation. I think Damon and Paul Greengrass (Director of Bourne 1-3) are just ready to move on. Continuing with Bourne Legacy, so far (according to Deadline) there is a long list of actors pursuing this role: Jake Gyllenhaal, Joel Edgerton, Josh Hartnett, Tobey Maguire, Paul Dano, Micheal Pitt, Oscar Isaac, Garrett Hedlund, Micheal Fassbender, Luke Evans, Alex Pettyfer, Taylor Kitsch and Benjamin Walker. This is a ridiculous list; half of these candidates are absurd and the other half are already attached to many other projects. For example, Tobey Maguire...his mere consideration is an insult to the franchise or even pretty boys like Alex Pettyfer (I am Number Four) or Taylor Kitsch (Wolverine: X-men Origins) don’t come remotely close to the likes of a potential successor. But on the other side of things better actors such as Micheal Fassbender, Paul Dano and Jake Gyllenhaal are already attached to many other films and (in my opinion) just don't seem to fit either.

Out of this odd assortment of actors personally, I think Garrett Hedlund (Tron, Four Brothers) or Joel Edgerton (Animal Kingdom) would be good choices. Both would take the film in different dirrections but they share similar attributes in their versatility, intensity and rising careers. Garrett Hedlund, I know is somewhat of a strange choice but his roles in “Death Sentence” and “Four Brothers” showcase his adaptability, and capable honesty and grit. But despite my opinion, I think it’s safe to say that Jake Gyllenhaal and Josh Hartnett are forerunners.

Carey Mulligan Joins DiCaprio & Maguire In Great Gatsby

Deadline has word from director Baz Luhrmann himself that Carey Mulligan has been cast as Daisy in The Great Gatsby. The film already has Leonardo DiCaprio set to play Jay Gatsby and Tobey Maguire expected to play Nick. This will be the second time that DiCaprio and Baz have worked together they previously did the visually stunning Romeo+Juliet back in 1996. Carey's involvement knocks her out of the running for the lead in Ridley Scott's Alien prequels.

Robotech (2010)

Based on the anime television series which ran in the 80's will be produced by Tobey Maguire With an option for the Spider-man star to be cast as the male lead. The live-action adaptation has been picked up by Warner Brothers. The studio has been buying and optioning many films adapted from anime sources. Along with the fact large robot movies seem to be all the rage these days. The original script written by Lawrence Kasdan (Empire Strikes Back, Raiders of The Lost Ark) will go through rewrites by Alfred Gough and Miles Millar. The pair don't exactly evoke enthusiasm with their credits limited to sub-par scripts. Such as Mummy 3, Herbie Fully Loaded and television show Smallville. I think casting and the director hired will have more to do with the success of the project. If those two aspects don't live up to expectations then it would be time to worry.



"Robotech refers to the scientific advances discovered in an alien starship that crashed on a South Pacific island. With this technology, Earth developed giant robotic machines or mecha (many of which were capable of transforming into vehicles) to fight three successive extraterrestrial invasions. At the time of its broadcast, Harmony Gold also launched Robotech through a popular line of comics to be followed by novels, role-playing games, video games, comic books, toys, and other consumer products."
