RACHEL WEISZ & RALPH FIENNES IN "PAGE EIGHT"! DONALD SUTHERLAND JOINS "THE HUNGER GAMES"! TWO PROJECTS ON VIVALDI WITH MAX IRONS, LUKE EVANS, JESSICA BIEL, BEN KINGSLEY, ALFRED MOLINA ...

It seems famous composer ANTONIO VIVALDI is quite trendy these days since two films are being made about him at the same

time. According to "ScreenDaily" one of the films will star young Max Irons, Elle Fanning and Clare Foy with experienced legends Jacqueline Bisset, Tom Wilkinson and Alfred Molina, and it will follow Vivaldi as he turns a talented, but traumatised, group of  illegimate daughters of courtesans, into a world-class orchestra which will play all through Venice and in front of the Pope as well. In the second project, director Patricia Riggen will follow VIVALDI's love problems and the cast could include amazing Luke Evans, lovely Jessica Biel and Ben Kingsley.

 Two of the upcoming teen bestseller film adaptations have added new actors: Donald Sutherland has joined the cast of THE HUNGER GAMES film project in which he will play President Snow, the evil and powerful ruler of Panem and its 12

districts. He will star next to Jennifer Lawrence, Josh Hutcherson and Liam Hemsworth (who got his hair died in brown). Another project THE MORTAL INSTRUMENTS film adaptation has hired their male lead: young Jamie Campbell Bower will play a demon hunter who helps the main star Lily Collins in her mission. I'm rather shocked they've chosen Campbell Bower, who gives the most horrid and most superficial and pointless performance as king Arthur in Starz's show CAMELOT. The audience is pretty much unanimous on him being the weakest link of that show in which his acting is so annoying that I'm even considering not watching the show anymore even though I'm the biggest fan of historical shows.

"Variety" has just announced that PBS is ready to broadcast their interesting new ensemble drama this Fall. Directed by amazingly

talented David Hare, who wrote marvelous screenplays for Kate Winslet's tremendous THE READER and THE HOURS, this thriller called PAGE EIGHT will have a stunning cast including Bill Nighy as Johnny Worricker, an MI-5 officer who becomes wrapped up in an elaborate conspiracy after the death of his best friend, Benedict Baron the chief of security service (Michael Gambon). The film also stars Rachel Weisz as Johnny's neighbor and his secret enemy and Ralph Fiennes and Judy Davis. PBS is also preparing THE SONG OF LUNCH with Emma Thompson and Alan Rickman about a book editor and his former lover who reconnect 15 years after their original affair.

IS DC PREPARING A "HAWKMAN" MOVIE ADAPTATION? GREAT POSTER FOR HUGH JACKMAN'S "REAL STEEL"! SYFY BRINGS HUMANS WITH SUPER POWERS IN "ALPHAS"

According to "BadAssDigest" one of the latest super hero comics to get its movie adaptation is DC's HAWKMAN. It will apparently be

a mix of INDIANA JONES, THE DA VINCI CODE and GHOST and it will follow the fictional superhero who  uses archaic weaponry and large, artificial wings attached to a harness made of the Nth metal that allows him to fly. The winged superhero usually works closely with a partner and at the same time a romantic interest named Hawkgirl or Hawkwoman in his fight against supervillains. The film will be produced by Adrian Askarieh, whom HOLLYWOOD SPY has mentioned last year as the producer of the upcoming adventure LEONARDO DA VINCI AND THE SOLDIERS OF FOREVER.

Dreamworks has just released a lovely new poster for their October blockuster REAL STEEL in which Hugh Jackman

plays a futuristic washed-up fighter who lost his chance at a title when 2000-pound, 8-foot-tall steel robots took over the ring. Now nothing but a small-time promoter, he earns just enough money piecing together low-end bots from scrap metal to get from one underground boxing venue to the next. When he hits rock bottom, he reluctantly teams up with his estranged son Max to build and train a championship contender. As the stakes in the brutal, no-holds-barred arena are raised, he and Max, against all odds, get one last shot at a comeback.

Premiering this July on SyFy is the new show coming from the writers of X-MEN THE LAST STAND. Called ALPHAS,  it will

follow a team of ordinary citizens with extraordinary mental and physical abilities: Nina (Laura Mennell) is able to re-program people's brains, Bill's (Malik Yoba) ability is to summon amazing strength, Gary (Ryan Cartwright) can read electromagnetic wave, Rachel (Azita Ghanizada) can enhance one of her senses, while Cameron (Warren Christie) possesses flawless aim, perfect balance, and greatly enhanced motor skills. Led by Dr. Lee Rosen (David Strathairn), the fivesome takes the law into their own hands, investigating cases that suggest other Alpha activity to uncover what the CIA, FBI and Pentagon have not been able, or willing, to solve.

MESMERIZING CHINESE FANTASY "REST ON YOUR SHOULDER"! BRADLEY COOPER ADAPTING SF SAGA "HYPERION"! IRISH SINGING SENSATION CLARE MAGUIRE!

To brighten up your boring Monday, I'm introducing you to lovely Clare Maguire, an almost breathtakingly talented singer from Ireland who is currently rocking Europe with her amazing LIGHT AFTER DARK album. The owner of the most sensational voice

you've ever heard, Claire already has three seductive smash hits - THE LAST DANCE, my favourite which you can watch bellow, AIN'T NOBODY which has the most amazing video ever, and you can also watch her latest single THE SWORD AND THE SHIELD in the left sidebar. She has an extraordinary voice, profound charisma and she is the next big thing. She got a record deal after one of her tracks reached 500,000 plays at MySpace!

 Now, that Bradley Cooper really has big plans for himself. Not only that he might play THE CROW in the remake and the Devil himself in the epic film adaptation of PARADISE LOST, he now

also reveals that he is writing a script for the movie adaptation of famous sf classic HYPERION by Dan Simmons. According to "MovieWeb" he is now negotiating with the producer who owns the rights on the sf saga. The story of HYPERION is set in the distant future, as a space war threatens Hyperion, a planet known for the Time Tombs - large artifacts that can move through time and are guarded by a gruesome monster called the Shrike.

I know I don't post Asian trailers often, but I saw this one at my dear Jaccsy's and it sounds and looks really marvelous and

magical. Coming out this summer to Chinese cinemas, REST ON YOUR SHOULDER  is a magical fantasy romance with breath taking special effects and stunning land scapes which follows a young woman who becomes a butterfly in exchange for the recovery of her sick fiance, a biologist. Yet when he recovers from his illness, he is struck by the disappearance of his fiancee. As the three year time for her return to human form comes near, however, a plague spreads across Celestial Island. When the butterfly realizes she may hold the key to the cure, she goes on a journey to seek the truth.  Will the butterfly save the dying land from the epidemic? Will she successfully become human again after the three year limit? The film was shown at Cannes this year leaving a deep impression. 

PS don't forget to visit BARDS & PROPHETS where I made a new banner for my dear L.G.Smith :) Be sure to follow her too. Other of Dezz designed banners can be seen at W.I.P. IT, HAIRNETS AND HOPES, RASHELLE WORKMAN and THAT'S WRITE.

LEO DICAPRIO IN A FILM ABOUT SERBIAN PINK PANTHER JEWELRY THIEVES! ED WESTWICK & HOLLY HUNTER JOIN HAILEE STEINFELD IN "ROMEO & JULIET". ARIEL GETS DARK IN "MERMAID: A TWIST ON THE CLASSIC TALE"

We've all loved little Ariel from Disney's LITTLE MERMAID, but now Sony is planning to make a darker version of the famous

underwater tale by Hans Christian Andersen. According to "MovieWeb" it will basically be a film adaptation of Carolyn Turgeon's book MERMAID: A TWIST ON THE CLASSIC TALE,  which focuses on a princess who seeks out to marry the prince of her rival kingdom, to try and save her own ravaged kingdom. However, the princess discovers that a beautiful mermaid has also fallen for the prince, risking her life to be with him. The film will be produced by Tobey Maguire. And to remind you, China is also preparing an underwater epic EMPIRES OF THE DEEP with Olga Kurylenko in the lead role.

One of the hottest news in Serbia these days is that Leo DiCaprio has sent his screenwriter to Belgrade to investigate the story around the famous Serbian band of thieves called PINK PANTHER. He is apparently planning to shoot the film on them, and the screenwriter has been talking to Serbian police and Interpol gathering all the necessary details.

As you may have read in the press, Pink Panther has around 200 members and they are known as extremely successful thieves who never use violent methods in their work.  They've stolen a few hundreds of millions of euros worth jewelry. Their targets were jewelry stores in Germany, Switzerland, Monaco ... but they are most famous for the robbery in Tokyo in 2004 where they stole 32 million euros worth jewelry including the famous Contessa De Vendome necklace with 116 diamonds and for the robbery in Dubai where they stole $11 million worth jewelry in just 11 seconds. The mastermind of the gang still hasn't been caught!

You already know that fairy tale film adaptations are popular these days in Hollywood with gazillion SNOW WHITE projects, a few SLEEPING BEAUTY ones, ALICE and RED RIDING HOOD are

already done ... and you also know that ROMEO AND JULIET is getting a new version again with young Hailee Steinfeld (TRUE GRIT) in the lead role. Now the film has new cast members. To be directed by Italian director Carlo Carlei, the film will also have Oscar winner Holly Hunter and teen star Ed Westwick from popular TV show GOSSIP GIRL. Hunter will play Juliet's nurse who raised her and who serves as a messenger between her and Romeo. Westwick will not play Romeo, but Tybalt, Juliet's hot-tempered cousin who is always quick to draw his sword.

TONI COLLETTE IS HOLLYWOOD SPY'S BEST AUSTRALIAN STAR! NEW POLL: YOUR FAVOURITE SENIOR ACTORS!

After two weeks of voting, the third part of WHO IS YOUR FAVOURITE AUSTRALIAN STAR poll is over and the winner with 35% of your votes is Toni Collette, who left Jesse Spencer (19%) and Sam Worthington (17%) behind her.

Toni Collette is larger than life. We knew that from the first time we saw her in the cult Australian film MURIEL'S WEDDING in which she gave the most intelligent portrayal of a girl captured in the world which constantly puts her down. She was also absolutely flawless playing devoted mothers in unusual situations in LITTLE MISS SUNSHINE and THE SIXTH SENSE, we also loved her in EVENING, THE DEAD GIRL, IN HER SHOES, THE HOURS, but she amazed us mostly with her charismatic portrayal of a mother with multiple personalities in UNITED STATES OF TARA. The role is one those profound and multilayered ones which can be tackled only by the most talented of actors. Toni Collette

did it so flawlessly and with such stunning ease that she basically made television history with it securing herself a spot among the best living actresses.
This year we shall be watching her as a mother with a vampire in her neighborhood  in FRIGHT NIGHT beside Colin Farrell. She will also appear in heartwarming film FOSTER, where she and Ioan Gruffudd will be a couple who get an unexpected kid in their lives. Toni is also a singer, has her own band and albums, she has two kids,  was nominated for an Oscar two times, has six awards from Australian Film Institute, one Emmy and a Golden Globe, had a fling with Jonathan Rhys Meyers before she married her hubs.

Now after the Australian stars, let us move to our new poll in which next two weeks we shall be choosing YOUR FAVOURITE SENIOR ACTOR! The nominees include eight over 70 years old thespians and living legends: Derek Jacobi (HAMLET, GLADIATOR, THE KING'S SPEECH), Anthony Hopkins (SILENCE OF THE LAMBS), Ian McKellan (LORD OF THE RINGS, X-MEN, GODS AND MONSTERS), Peter O'Toole (TROY, THE TUDORS, LAWRENCE OF ARABIA), Sean Connery (JAMES BOND), Donald Sutherland (THE PILLARS OF THE EARTH, THE EAGLE), Michael Caine (THE QUIET AMERICAN, THE CIDER HOUSE RULE) and Christopher Plummer (THE SOUND OF MUSIC, PRIEST, ALEXANDER).

"THE MUPPETS" ARE BACK IN THE FIRST TRAILER! "SPARTACUS VENGEANCE" BRINGS SURPRISES IN THE 2ND SEASON! VIN DIESEL IS "THE MACHINE"! HOT POSTERS FOR "X-MEN FIRST CLASS"

You already know that due to Andy Whitfield's reoccurring cancer, Starz has found his replacement for SPARTACUS in Liam McIntyre, and after showing us the prequel GODS

OF ARENA this winter describing the origins of the famous ludus, they are now ready to shoot the second season which will be aired in January 2012 and will probably be named SPARTA CUS VENGE ANCE . According to rumors, the 2nd season of the popular epic show will bring many surprises. Spartacus will now put his feelings aside and he will start fighting for the greater good by leading the slave rebellion. Our favourite Lucretia, played by Lucy Lawless will come back again and it will turn out that she was just badly wounded in the season finale's slaughter but not killed. And she will, off course, be very very angry :) Her husband Batiatus will not return, but Crixus,

Ashur and Doctore will. We shall also watch amazing Craig Parker as legatus Glaber again since he will be chasing Spartacus and  the escaped slaves. The new season will be more massive and epic since it will have wider scope and more locations as the slaves roam the countryside killing Romans.

SHORT HEADLINES *According to "The Hollywood Reporter" Vin Diesel will star in THE MACHINE,  playing a human-like machine created in secrecy by the Pentagon as the world’s first true ultimate weapon. Twenty years after the project was buried and decommissioned for reasons unknown, the Machine is discovered by a kid who befriends him. When the government learns it has been reactivated, the Machine must protect the family harboring

him. *June 3rd will bring us the premiere of X-MEN FIRST CLASS which will give us a retro description of the origins of Professor X (James McAvoy) and his nemesis Magneto (Michael Fassbander) so I thought I might indulge my boys with the ladies from the film - Zoe Kravitz and January Jones who plays the White Queen.

Since it's a boring start of the week, the only new trailer I can offer you today is the first one for THE MUPPETS which are coming

back in a new adventure this November. Joining Miss Piggy and Kermit are Amy Adams and Jason Segal who will help Walter, the world’s biggest Muppet fan, to stop an oilman who wants to destroy Muppets theater and drill oil under it. To stage The Greatest Muppet Telethon Ever and raise the $10 million needed to save the theater, Walter, must help Kermit reunite the Muppets, who have all gone their separate ways: Fonzie now performs with a Reno casino tribute band called the Moopets, Miss Piggy is a plus-size fashion editor at Vogue Paris, Animal is in a Santa Barbara clinic for anger management, and Gonzo is a high-powered plumbing magnate.

TOM CRUISE IN $100 MILLION SF EPIC "OBLIVION"! DARREN ARONOFSKY TO HELM "MALEFICENT" OR BIBLICAL EPIC "MOSES"! JAMES CAVIEZEL IS "PERSON OF INTEREST"

authors of LOST and HEROES, it will be a crime thriller about a presumed dead former-CIA agent who teams up with a mysterious billionaire to prevent violent crimes by using their own brand of vigilante justice. Using state-of-the-art surveillance technology, the two work outside of the law using agent's adept skills and billionaire's unlimited wealth to unravel the mystery of the person of interest and stop the crime before it happens. Oscar nominee Taraji P. Henson will join them as a homicide detective.

SHORT HEADLINES * Jim Broadbent, Hugo Weaving, Ben Whishaw, Tom Hanks and Susan Sarandon have joined

CLOUD ATLAS, a film with six inter connected stories which span from the 19th Century to a post apocalyptic 21st Century. The film will be directed by MATRIX creators the Wachowskis. * According to latest rumors Darren Aronofsky could direct Disney's MALEFICENT, the tale of Sleeping Beauty's evil godmother (Angelina Jolie) or Worner Bros.' Biblical epic MOSES on the famous religious character as he tries to lead the Isrealites out of Egypt before the Exodus, and gets them lost in the desert.

Tom Cruise has officially joined Universal's  OBLIVION, a huge $100 million sf epic following one of the only humans left on Earth

, a soldier who repairs the drones which roam the planet and destroy alien beings. The rest of human civilization now lives above the clouds, since the planet has become too toxic. When the soldier finds a woman who crash landed on Earth, they go on a unique journey together, discovering that what they have been told about Earth may not be true.  This graphic novel film adaptation will be directed by TRON's Joseph Kosinski. Tom Cruise could also join Guilermo Del Toro's PACIFIC RIM.

And to brag a bit :), HOLLYWOOD SPY's has had more than 7,000 visitors this weekend (amazing 17,000 whole last week) so I'm guessing the apocalypse kept you at your homes :) HOLLYWOOD SPY loves you and there's nothing you can do about it ;)

IS MELISSA MCCARTHY NEW HOLLYWOOD STAR? CELTIC QUEEN IN "WARRIOR DAUGHTER"! SUPERHERO ORPHANAGE IN "MISS PEREGRINE'S HOME FOR PECULIAR CHILDREN"! VILLAINS MOVE TO EUROPE IN "SUPERCROOKS"

Well, it seems that patience sometimes pays off.  You probably all love Melissa McCarthy, the super adorable Sukie from GILMORE GIRLS,  and it seems

that she could finally get into Hollywood's upper league and become the first plump lady among the biggest stars. And it all happened after she stole the show and amazed everyone with her charisma and positive charm in the new film BRIDESMAIDS. Now Hollywood is thinking of creating a romcom star out of her. Her first vehicle will be an untitled comedy which she wrote herself, about a supportive wife who decides to help her husband steal the Stanley Cup after he is diagnosed with an incurable disease.

SHORT HEADLINES *Mark Millar's (KICK-ASS) upcoming comic book SUPERCROOKS will be made into a film as well. The

story follows a group of supervillains who decide to move to Europe and do their evil business there since Europe has no superheroes to stop them.  *According to "Screendaily" historical novel WARRIOR DAUGHTER by Janet Paisley will be adapted into a film. It will be an epic tale of a Celtic queen learning the skills that will allow her to claim her throne prior to the arrival of the Romans in Britain. *Fox has bought the rights on the yet to be published novel MISS PEREGRINE'S HOME FOR PECULIAR CHILDREN in a very heated battle with other studios. The story is set in an island orphanage where kids with strange powers are kept away from the rest of the world.
