The Mortal Instruments: City of Bones and Hunger Games: Catching Fire

the edge of my seat, and reminding me of the fun times of waiting for
casting for all of the Twilight Saga films. Jamie Campbell Bower (Caius) plays the sexy Shadowhunter Jace in City of Bones and the film now has an official website. Head over and check it out at:

More on the 'Snow White and the Huntsman' sequel
Despite the bad press, Battleship ended up grossing $303 million worldwide, but the $210 million-plus-budgeted pic made just $65 million domestically, killing its franchise chances. Still, thanks to robust showings on three of its summer films, Universal likely will be carving out sequel release dates for Snow White & the Huntsman, Seth MacFarlane's Ted and a new American Pie.
Universal began moving forward with a sequel by hiring David Koepp, one of Hollywood's highest-paid screenwriters, to pen a follow-up. With a worldwide gross of $382 million on a $170 million-plus budget, Snow White is a modest if not mammoth hit, and the studio is said to be committed to extending the franchise. Will Sanders be involved? Universal says he will -- for now -- but an insider notes that Stewart's Snow White deal includes sequel language, while Sanders' does not.

Kristen Stewart Lands Lead in Lie Down in Darkness
Vulture hears exclusively that Stewart has landed the lead role in an indie adaptation of William Styron’s 1951 novel, Lie Down In Darkness. Directed by Crazy Heart helmer Scott Cooper and set in genteel fifties Virginia, Lie Down will
have Stewart play Peyton Loftis. As part of a dysfunctional and
disintegrating family, Peyton is constantly compared to her crippled
sister, Maudie, and her intense physical beauty makes her the object of
her frigid mother’s jealous hatred and the target of her father’s
incestuous, alcoholic lust. (Stewart will also appear in another
fifties-era film, Walter Salles's On the Road, when it's released in the U.S. sometime this fall/winter.)
The part of Peyton had been coveted by Jennifer Lawrence, but Lawrence will spend the better part of the next year shooting sequels. (Catching Fire ignites this fall, while a new X-Men film at Fox commences shooting in January.) Set up at Open Road Films, Darkness has been in development for years by producer Jeff Sharp (You Can Count on Me, Proof) and while it’s unclear how soon it might start production, this is a major casting hurdle cleared.
