Per usual, we\u2019ve got a ton of high profile projects in the works and a number made some big moves this past week, picking up top talent.<\/p>\n<p>Ben Foster is officially on board to portray Lance Armstrong in the industry\u2019s third impending film on the doping scandal while Matthew Vaughn went for a fresh face for the lead role in his film, \u201cSecret Service.\u201d Over in \u201cInterstellar\u201d land, Christopher Nolan finally wrapped up casting by adding Wes Bentley to the list and Paul Feig opted to add yet another Melissa McCarthy collaboration to his resume, giving her an offer to star in his female spy film, \u201cSusan Cooper.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>We\u2019ve got the details on those stories, more casting updates, the latest on \u201cPacific Rim 2,\u201d and loads more right here in your weekly <B>Movie News Cheat Sheet<\/B>.<\/p>\n<p><B><FONT COLOR=RED>1. Lance Armstrong Biopic #3 with Ben Foster &#038; Stephen Frears:<\/FONT><\/B> The Warner Bros. Lance Armstrong project and the Paramount Pictures ones have already been announced, but that didn\u2019t stop Stephen Frears from getting to work on his own big screen version of the infamous doping scandal. As reported by <a href=\"http:\/\/www.deadline.com\/2013\/07\/stephen-fears-and-working-title-pedaling-fast-on-lance-armstrong-movie\/\" target=\"_blank\">Deadline<\/a>, Ben Foster is currently in final talks to lead and is expected to begin filming this fall. There\u2019s absolutely no way all three films will wind up with an equal shot at success, so a race to the finish line could determine which production is in the best position.<\/p>\n<p><B><FONT COLOR=RED>2. Matthew Vaughn Picks Newcomer to Lead \u201cSecret Service:\u201d<\/FONT><\/B> Matthew Vaughn has found Colin Firth\u2019s secret agent prot\u00e9g\u00e9 and surprisingly, he\u2019s a totally unknown actor. Rather than go with Aaron Taylor-Johnson or with someone of a similar star status, Vaughn picked Taron Egerton, a young actor with no agent and a single credit to his name, the TV show \u201cInspector Lewis.\u201d Once the deal goes through, Egerton will have a second title on his resume and one with quite a bit of potential at that. After making it official, he\u2019ll play Firth\u2019s character\u2019s nephew, a young man that Firth is mentoring to become a secret agent. Next Vaughn will need to lock his female lead and villain to ready the production for a fall start.

Wes Bentley Rounds Out the Cast of \u201cInterstellar:\u201d<\/FONT><\/B> After picking up Matthew McConaughey, Anne Hathaway, Jessica Chastain, Michael Caine, Casey Affleck and Topher Grace, Christopher Nolan finally finishes up casting \u201cInterstellar\u201d by adding Wes Bentley. Nolan penned the script with his brother, Jonathan, which is said to involve time travel and alternate dimensions, centering on a group of explorers going through a wormhole. According to <a href=\"http:\/\/www.hollywoodreporter.com\/heat-vision\/wes-bentley-joins-christopher-nolans-593317\" target=\"_blank\">THR<\/a>, the details of Bentley\u2019s character are being kept top secret, as are all plot details, but their sources call his part \u201ca meaty supporting role.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><B><FONT COLOR=RED>4. Melissa McCarthy Might be Paul Feig\u2019s \u201cSusan Cooper:\u201d<\/FONT><\/B> After working together on \u201cBridesmaids\u201d and \u201cThe Heat,\u201d Melissa McCarthy and Paul Feig could be coming back for more. According to <a href=\"http:\/\/www.thewrap.com\/movies\/column-post\/melissa-mccarthy-talks-paul-feigs-spy-comedy-susan-cooper-exclusive-105961\" target=\"_blank\">The Wrap<\/a>, McCarthy is currently in early talks to take the lead role in Feig\u2019s next directorial effort, \u201cSusan Cooper.\u201d The project has been described as a realistic take on a female James Bond with a similar tone to that of \u201cThe Heat.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><B><FONT COLOR=RED>5. James McAvoy is Victor Von Frankenstein:<\/FONT><\/B> Daniel Radcliffe\u2019s Igor has his Victor Von Frankenstein. As reported by <a href=\"http:\/\/www.deadline.com\/2013\/07\/james-mcavoy-tapped-by-fox-to-play-victor-von-frankenstein\/\" target=\"_blank\">Deadline<\/a>, Fox is currently in the deal making stage with James McAvoy for the role. Director Paul McGuigan had both James Huston and Toby Kebbell read for the part last month, but apparently McAvoy was the better fit for this revamp of the Mary Shelley classic. Filming is likely to begin soon as the film is due for an October 17, 2014 release.<\/p>\n<p><B><FONT COLOR=RED>6. Petition for \u201cDredd 2:\u201d<\/FONT><\/B> At this point we\u2019re all very familiar with the fan-fueled Kickstarter craze, but those eager for more \u201cDredd\u201d are calling for a sequel by circulating a <a href=\"http:\/\/2000adonline.us5.list-manage.com\/subscribe?u=a6e40236aa24d482cfff600d2&#038;id=62906ebdcc\" target=\"_blank\">petition<\/a>. Even though the 2012 release faired well with the critics and with those who saw it, it was still a box office disaster. \u201cDredd\u201d ran a $50 million production tab, but only went on to accumulate $35.6 million worldwide. Having amassed a broader cult following after the home video and VOD release, \u201cJudge Dredd\u201d publishers, 2000AD, have initiated a petition to encourage Lionsgate to move forward with a sequel. They\u2019ve accumulated well over 50,000 signatures thus far and have more than 45,000 likes on the associated <a href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/MakeADreddSequel\" target=\"_blank\">Facebook page<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p><B><FONT COLOR=RED>7. Rosemarie DeWitt to Lead \u201cPoltergeist:\u201d<\/FONT><\/B> Just after MGM announced plans to join forces with Fox 2000 Pictures to co-finance and distribute the \u201crevisionist take\u201d of \u201cPoltergeist,\u201d the film takes another leap forward by landing a female lead. According to <a href=\"http:\/\/www.deadline.com\/2013\/07\/rosemarie-dewitt-scares-up-lead-in-poltergeist-revamp\/\" target=\"_blank\">Deadline<\/a>, Rosemarie DeWitt took the role in the film about a family forced to move to an old suburban home for financial reasons and winds up going up against a malicious spirit in order to rescue their youngest daughter. Now it\u2019s on to pick a new Craig T. Nelson, the patriarch of the family. The man behind \u201cMonster House\u201d and \u201cCity of Ember,\u201d Gil Kenan, is set to direct the script from \u201cOz the Great and Powerful\u201d scribe, David Lindsay-Abaire with Sam Raimi producing alongside Ghost House Pictures\u2019 Rob Tapert and Roy Lee.<\/p>\n<p><B><FONT COLOR=RED>8. Guillermo del Toro Talks \u201cPacific Rim 2:\u201d<\/FONT><\/B> \u201cPacific Rim\u201d was far from a box office failure, but $84 million domestically after three weeks in theaters doesn\u2019t necessarily scream sequel. However, the film\u2019s $140 million international boost does bring it closer and perhaps that\u2019s why Guillermo del Toro is already working out the details for a second go-around. (<B>If you\u2019ve yet to see the first film, skip to the next section now because del Toro\u2019s comments do spoil elements from the first film.<\/B>) Del Toro told <a href=\"http:\/\/www.mtv.com\/videos\/movies\/934394\/guillermo-del-toro-lays-down-framework-for-pacific-rim-sequel.jhtml#id=1710089\" target=\"_blank\">MTV<\/a>, &#8220;We will have Gipsy 2.0 for sure. Second thing is you\u2019re gonna see a merging of Kaiju and Jaeger.\u201d He continued, \u201cJust think about it for a second. We sent Gipsy to the other side, right? It exploded, but whatever remains stays there. And we drifted with a Kaiju brain. Well, then start riffing on that and you\u2019ll get to something.&#8221; Even though I can\u2019t say I loved \u201cPacific Rim\u201d enough to want more, those plans touch on some of the exact ideas I wished the first film had explored further, so perhaps this is an opportunity for a sequel to improve on the original.<\/p>\n<p><B><FONT COLOR=RED>9. Trailers: \u201cGravity,\u201d \u201c47 Ronin,\u201d \u201cRomeo &#038; Juliet:\u201d<\/FONT><\/B> Ready to experience an overwhelming sense of helplessness and isolation in deep space? We\u2019ve got not one, but two new trailers for Alfonso Cuar\u00f3n\u2019s \u201cGravity\u201d the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=k0ijEEivCbg\" target=\"_blank\">first<\/a> of which is a full minute and 35-second clip from the film that\u2019ll plague you with panic via the threat of becoming detached and the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=8y7Hg5mxMPE\" target=\"_blank\">second<\/a> that lets the horror of the scenario sink in further as you get a chance to feel what it\u2019s like to be floating in space right alongside Sandra Bullock\u2019s Dr. Stone, alone and totally powerless. After significant release delays and talk of a disgruntled director, the trailer for \u201c<a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=j8cKdDkkIYY\" target=\"_blank\">47 Ronin<\/a>\u201d has finally arrived and while it\u2019s got weak spots, namely a lack of story information, the piece looks better than one might have expected. Last up is the trailer for the Hailee Steinfeld-starrer, \u201c<a href=\"http:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=km-nbIRZJYk\" target=\"_blank\">Romeo &#038; Juliet<\/a>.\u201d The star-studded cast is accounted for and while their work does look exceptional, the presentation of this classic tale is as straightforward as they come and that makes the film feel a little unnecessary.<\/p>\n<p><B><FONT COLOR=RED>10. Box Office:<\/FONT><\/B> As expected, \u201cThe Wolverine\u201d didn\u2019t open as strong as its predecessor, but it did earn an easy win at the box office with a $55 million start. \u201cThe Conjuring\u201d held on rather well for a horror film, dipping just 47.1% for a $22.1 million second weekend out. Not only did \u201cDespicable Me 2\u201d enjoy a particularly minimal decline, but so did its animated competition, \u201cTurbo,\u201d too. \u201cDespicable Me 2\u201d took #3 with a 35.7% loss and another $16 million while \u201cTurbo\u201d grabbed #4, dropping 37.5% for $13.3 million this time around. \u201cGrown Ups 2\u201d rounds out the top five with $11.5 million courtesy of a mere 42.1% weekend two to three decline.
