Andrew
Garfield to Lead Scorsese's Gestating Adaptation of 'Silence'
Just last month, news
surfaced that Martin Scorsese was finally going to shoot his
long-gestating adaptation of of Silence,
based on the novel by Shusako Endo. Financing had been secured
Emmettt/Furla Films and Paul Breuls and his Corsan Films to allow production to
begin in Taiwan in July of 2014, but the official start date was contingent on

Tom Cruise Commits To
Doing Mission:
Impossible 5
No need to act too surprised,
since the massive success of Mission: Impossible -- Ghost Protocol made this a
safe bet, but the inevitable has finally become official: Tom Cruise will once
again play Ethan Hunt. According to Deadline he's signed a deal to star in and
produce what will be a fifth Mission: Impossible film, with plans to develop
the new adventure alongside the chosen writer/director and Bad Robot, the
production company headed up by J.J. Abrams (we're guessing Abrams is a little
too busy to get especially involved himself). Keep Reading
Nolan
Recruits Actress Jessica Chastain for His 'Interstellar' Voyage
Briefly: This project is
certainly coming together fast! News has broken on the latest member of the
cast of Christopher Nolan's Interstellar,
his next sci-fi project already scheduled for a November 2014release. So far, Nolan has cast Matthew McConaughey and Anne Hathaway as the first two
leads, now he has signed Zero Dark Thirty/The Help Oscar
nominee Jessica Chastain.
Deadline says that Chastain is in talks to "play the third lead" in
the film, which is said to "depict a heroic interstellar voyage to the
farthest borders of our scientific understanding." Everything about this
sounds like it will be the pinnacle of the new era of sci-fi movies we're
entering, and the cast so far is starting to indicate that will be the case.
Chastain has worked for Terrence Malick and Kathryn Bigelow before, and seems
careful about the roles she takes on. Keep Reading.
