A press release reveals Zac Efron, Marcia Gay Harden, Paul Giamatti, Billy Bob Thorton, and Silver Linings Playbook actress Jacki Weaver have all signed to star. Read more here.

Roger Corman Producing Eight Adaptations of Edgar Allan Poe Tales

Genre legend Roger Corman was a mentor figure to filmmakers like as James Cameron, Ron Howard, Martin Scorsese, and Curtis Hanson as they were coming up in the industry, but the talented producer/actor/director made a name for himself before that directing B-movie classics back in the 50s and 60s. He's best known for his film adaptations of Edgar Allan Poe's work which teamed him with actor Vincent Price, and now THR says that Corman is returning to his roots by producing eight new film adaptations of Poe's stories. First up is House of Usher, written by Mike McClain (The Haunted), which shoots next year. Click here to read more.

I've heard nothing but amazing things about it, and it's definitely on my list of things to catch up on as the year comes to a close, but here's some good news for people who want more from the ladies of the Bellas. MovieWeb (via The Film Stage) spoke with Skylar Astin who revealed a sequel is in early development. Read more here.

Rachel Weisz Gets Wicked on New 'Oz: The Great and Powerful' Poster

And lo and behold, today that poster shows up on the Internet. There's a new one sheet that gives Rachel Weisz (?) the dark spotlight as the Wicked Witch.  Click here to view the poster!
