Stone of Destiny poster finally released

The poster says that Stone of Destiny, starring Robert Carlyle and Billy Boyd will open in 2009, but I haven't been able to find out if this is a North American poster or a UK poster. If its a UK poster it might contradict its release date of October 10, 2008 in the UK, though the film will still be closing the Toronto International Film Festival. When I find out anything more about the release dates I'll be sure to post it.

Mark your calendars

Upcoming films Angels and Demons and Amelia, both starring Ewan McGregor finally have release dates. Angels and Demons will be released on May 15, 2009 in the US and the UK while Amelia opens on October 23, 2009 in the US. Amelia opens just in time for awards season. I'm not making any predictions but I just thought I'd point that out...

Hey everyone. I'm just letting you all know that Tropical Storm Gustav is going to be over my little island for the next day or so and I may not be able to post anything new for a few days. I'll be back as soon as I can and thanks to all of you who read the blog and leave comments and stuff.

The immortal Kevin McKidd

I'm not one for remakes, but this sounds interesting:

When fans of the Highlander film franchise heard that the series was set for a reboot courtesy of Summit Entertainment, the first question they wanted answered was who would star in the film. Would it be the original Highlander Christopher Lambert, or possibly Adrian Paul the star of the popular TV series. If a JoBlo tipster is correct, the answer could be ‘none of the above’.

According to the site, Journeyman star Kevin McKidd mentioned on Dublin radio that the film’s producers had approached him about starring in the movie. McKidd is a Scotsman and Summit has said that they would like to take the series back to it’s medieval Scotland roots, so maybe that has something to do with the interest in McKidd.

The original Highlander film, starred Sean Connery and Christopher Lambert as members of a secret race of immortals fighting for the right to be the last one standing.

Even if they don't use Kevin McKidd (and they would be crazy not to) they probably have no choice but to use a Scottish actor in the role.

Here's the first official photo of Ewan McGregor and Jim Carrey in the upcoming dark comedy I Love You Phillip Morris.


McGregor plays Phillip Morris, and co-star Jim Carrey plays married man, Steven Russell, who is sentenced to three years in a Texas prison and falls in love with his cell mate Phillip Morris. When Morris is finally released from prison, Russell repeatedly tries to escape in order to be with him. The film is set for release in early 2009.

Desmond is officially still on Lost

We're about six months away from the return of new Lost episodes, but thankfully we now know the fate of Desmond Hume. Well sort of. Matt Mittovich, a source from the Lost set revealed that Henry Ian Cusick, who plays, Desmond is indeed a cast member on season 5. Which means he hasn't been killed off, or sent back in time, or been eaten by the black cloud - though knowing Lost anything is possible. Everyone has their own theory about how Desmond will fit in-the best coming from here.

James McAvoy gets animated

This hasn't been officially confirmed yet, but I thought James McAvoy fans would be happy about this.

Gregg Goldstein:

James McAvoy and Emily Blunt might soon discover the grass is always greener on the other side of the fence -- if you're a garden gnome in love.

The pair are in negotiations to play the title roles of Gnomeo and Juliet, a CGI-animated Shakespeare adaptation from Miramax and Elton John's Rocket Pictures.

The film will feature several John classics but not Kate Winslet; she was first attached to voice Juliet two years ago and fell out because of scheduling conflicts. Tim Rice also was approached to write original songs with his Lion King partner John at the time, but the soundtrack now will be filled with the performer's well-known hits and possibly a few new tracks.

In the loose and edgy adaptation of Shakespeare's play, McAvoy (Atonement) and Blunt (The Devil Wears Prada) would play lovers from rival gardens. John, who is producing alongside his offscreen partner David Furnish, Baker Bloodworth and Steve Hamilton Shaw, is said to be pursuing big-name talent to voice supporting roles.

Rocket initially brought Gnomeo to Walt Disney Feature Animation, but several years later the project was dropped by incoming Pixar executives John Lasseter and Ed Catmull. Miramax president Daniel Battsek, who followed the project while at Buena Vista International, persuaded Disney Studios chairman Dick Cook to revive it at his specialty division in April 2006.

Kelly Asbury will direct from an original script by Rob Sprackling and John R. Smith. Kevin Cecil, Andy Riley and Mark Burton have worked on later versions of the screenplay. Now in the storyboard stage, production is expected to be completed by 2010.

McAvoy, repped by WMA and United Agents, had his first big-budget hit with this summer's Wanted. After a string of upcoming indies, the CAA- and Ken McReddie Associates-repped Blunt is expected to follow suit with The Wolfman in summer 2009.
