GERARD BUTLER & LENA HEADEY IN "300: BATTLE OF ARTEMISIA"? KATE WINSLET & JOSH BROLIN IN "LABOR DAY"! "HOME IMPROVEMENT" CAST REUNION PIC! JUDE LAW, MATTHEW MACFADYEN & AARON JOHNSON IN "ANNA KARENINA"

I've mentioned this one before, but now it's official: Paramount will shoot LABOR DAY, the movie adaptation of Joyce Maynard's novel which should hit cinemas in 2013. The cast of the drama is lead by mesmerizing Oscar winner Kate Winslet and not so mesmerizing Josh Brolin.  The story will follow an escaped convict (Josh Brolin) who seeks shelter with a single mom (Kate Winslet) and her young son over a long Labor Day weekend. All three of them will learn many valuable lessons during the weekend which might change their lives forever. Behind the helm will be Jason Reitman from UP IN THE AIR, JUNO and YOUNG ADULT.

SHORT HOLLYWOOD HEADLINES

The new movie adaptation of famous ANNA KARENINA is ready to start shooting this month in France and Russia. As you know,

director Joe Wright (ATONEMENT) has given the lead role to that Keira Knightley woman, Jude Law is playing her husband Aleksei, while young Aaron Johnson is count Vronsky. Other members of the cast include Matthew McFadyen and Emily Watson. The whole behind the scenes team is filled with Oscar nominated or awarded costume, set and production designers, composers and cinematographers. If you loved HOME IMPROVEMENT sitcom as I did as a kid, you will love the reunion photo which will be released in "Entertainment Weekly" special reunions issue in October.As you

can see Tim Allen and Patricia Richardson still look more or less the same, but their sons have grown up - Zachery Ty Bryan, Jonathan Taylor Thomas and Taran Noah Smith.

The long anticipated prequel to revolutionary epic 300 titled 300:THE BATTLE OF ARTEMISIA, although set decades before the original film, will have Gerard Butler

and Lena Headey in a few short scenes as the producer of the film Bernie Goldmann has revealed to "Movie.com".  The prequel, which will describe the rise of terrifying Persian king Xerxes and the Greek fights and battles against him, will probably have unknown new actors in lead roles (because less recognizable faces are less distracting in a historical film), just like Butler and Headey were before the success of 300, but as Goldmann reveals, king Leonidas and queen Gorgo will, in some way, have small parts in the prequel as well.
