Big Name Action Actresses Cast In ‘Danger Girl’ Film Posted: 22 Aug 2011 04:05 PM PDT Back in April 2010, it was announced that a big-screen adaptation of the Wildstorm comic book series Danger Girl was in the works with Todd Lincoln at the helm and Adrian Askarieh producing. Apparently, three big name actresses -- two of whom are kick-ass action stars -- are now attached to star in the film as the three Danger Girls from the series. Latino Review is reporting that Milla Jovovich, Kate Beckinsale, and Sofia Vergara will be taking on these roles. That is some serious business right there considering the nature of the Danger Girl comic book series, which debuted in 1998 from creators J. Scott Campbell and Andy Hartnell. It's an action-adventure spy series that revolves around a group of highly intelligent and deadly buxom babes, all of whom have special skills in weaponry, demolitions, treasure-hunting, and more, of the top-secret organization Danger Girl [...]

‘Lone Ranger’ Going On Without Gore Verbinski? Posted: 22 Aug 2011 10:13 AM PDT Things are getting really interesting on the Lone Ranger front. After having a handful of issues with its budget, things appear to be moving forward on the project still. However, at this year's D23 expo, producer Rich Ross made the web a buzz by instead of mentioning someone, he omitted someone. Deadline has noted that, in a discussion about the film, the producer stated that "I'm hoping to do it. I'm certainly hoping. I think it's a compelling story and no one wants to work with Jerry and Johnny more than me, so we'll see how it works." Normal statement, right? Not when taking into account the omission of director Gore Verbinski [...]
