Isabela Moner is circling a lead role opposite Mark Wahlberg in the upcoming “Transformers 5”.
Michael Bay is directing the actioner with Moner in line to play Izabella, “a street-smart tomboy who grew up an orphan and was raised in foster care. She counts a small Transformer as her only friend… until she meets Wahlberg’s heroic inventor Cade Yeager” (via TheWrap).
Paramount will release the film on June 23, 2017.
David Oyelowo will star in and produce “Another Day In The Death Of America”, a film adaptation of Gary Younge’s book which focuses on one random day in America when 10 children were shot dead.
Based on the true stroy, the book investigates Saturday November 23, 2013, when 10 children between ages 9 and 19 were shot and killed.
Deadline has the news: None [of the shootings] made the national news, meaning it was just another day in America, where on average seven children and teens are killed by guns daily. Younge picked the date at random, searched for their families, and tells the stories not of how they died but how they lived. What emerges is a sobering, searing portrait of youth and guns in contemporary America. And for Younge, what starts out as an assignment full of challenges becomes a personal mission.
Doug Jones is starring in director David Lee Fisher’s remake of F.W. Murnau’s iconic 1922 German expressionist horror film “Nosferatu”.
Emrhys Cooper, Joely Fisher, Sarah Carter and Jake Turner are also in the cast.
Filming is underway on the project which is said to “remix” the original film using a combination of live-action and colorized digital backgrounds recreated from the original film.
Murnau’s silent film is considered the first true vampire film ever made.
Austin Stowell and Bill Pullman are joining Emma Stone, Steve Carell and Andrea Riseborough in “Battle of the Sexes”.
Jonathan Dayton and Valerie Faris are directing the film from Simon Beaufoy’s script.
The electrifying 1973 tennis match between World number one Billie Jean King (Emma Stone) and ex-champ and serial hustler Bobby Riggs (Steve Carell) was billed as the BATTLE OF THE SEXES and became the most watched televised sports event of all time. The match caught the zeitgeist and sparked a global conversation on gender equality, spurring on the feminist movement. Trapped in the media glare, King and Riggs were on opposites sides of a binary argument, but off-court each was fighting more personal and complex battles. With a supportive husband urging her to fight the Establishment for equal pay, the fiercely private King was also struggling to come to terms with her own sexuality, while Riggs gambled his legacy and reputation in a bid to relive the glories of his past. Together, Billie and Bobby served up a cultural spectacle that resonated far beyond the tennis courts and animated the discussions between men and women in bedrooms and boardrooms around the world.
