New movie project for Lena: "The Poisoners"

Here's an article about Lena's new movie project. This looks like a quite interesting movie! Read the details in the article below. 

 

Lena Headey, Anna Friel And Emily Watson Join Dark Comedy The Poisoners

Jon Amiel’s dark comedy The Poisoners has managed to secure itself a strong cast of leading ladies. Joining the film, which is set to begin shooting in Ireland and Germany this summer, are Emily Watson, Anna Friel, and Lena Headey. Written by Paul Billing, The Poisoners takes place during World War I and follows a group of women who are left behind in an English farming community and find themselves involved with German prisoners of war. The Hollywood Reporter posted word of the casting, stating that Watson, Friel and Headey join German actors Ken Duken, Hanno Koffler and Alexander Scheer. 
Emily Watson’s no stranger to dark humor, with films like Punch-Drunk Love, Corpse Bride and Cold Souls among her list of credits. Meanwhile, Lena Headey and Anna Friel have spread their considerable talent between the big and small screens. Friel’s notable roles include a starring part in the unfortunately short-lived dark dramedy Pushing Daisies. More recently, she starred opposite Bradley Cooper in Limitless. As for Headey, she’s been making a name for herself in strong female roles, having starred in 300, Fox’s Terminator: The Sarah Connor Chronicles, and currently, as the dark and intimidating Cersei Lannister on HBO’s Game of Thrones. Given their varying backgrounds, it should be interesting to see the dynamic between these women in The Poisoners.

Dredd Release Date

There's been a bit of confusion about Lena's latest movie, Dredd, release date, it was previously announced it would have been released first in the UK, this December and then a year later in the USA, but it looks like it was a mistake or something as io9.com reports:

We've heard from several people that the December 2011 U.K. release date is not real, and the movie's coming out everywhere in September 2012.

So the movie should be released in theatres across the world in September 2012... that's a long wait! o.O

Lena cast as villain in "Dredd": confirmed!!

This news has been mentioned by different websites just a couple of hours ago, it looks like Lena got a new role and as for Game of Thrones, she'll be playing a villain! The news has yet to be confirmed, Lena also left a message on her Facebook page today, but didn't mention that, which is normal anyway if she still hasn't signed anything. This is still reported as a rumour, so nothing is sure about it. If this is true that's great news, cause this seems to be a pretty important project and similar to 300 it is a movie from a comic book. Anyway this is the article from the MTV Website:

Lena Headey Joining 'Dredd' Cast As Lead Villain?

When Karl Urban suits up to play Judge Dredd in director Pete Travis' "Dredd," he'll be going up against the fiercest enemy the Terminators have ever known: Sarah Connor.

Well, not literally Sarah Connor, but the actress who played her on television. Judge Dredd Movie News (via Bleeding Cool) reports that "Terminator: The Sarah Connor Chronicles" star Lena Headey is joining the cast of "Dredd" as the film's villain, Madeline Madrigal.

The scarred Madrigal, also known as Ma-Ma, is a gang leader who presides over the Peach Tree City Block in Mega City One. Bleeding Cool reports that nearly all of "Dredd" takes place in this location as part of "an extended action sequence not too dissimilar, I guess, to the Die Hard paradigm."

No official announcements have been made regarding Headey's casting, so take her involvement with "Dredd" as nothing but a rumor for right now. But unlike many of the rumors we hear running around the comic book movie mill, Headey's potential casting is something that we can absolutely get behind. She was wonderful in her supporting role as Queen Gorgo in "300," and she's looking equally impressive in HBO's upcoming "Game of Thrones" TV series.

And let's not overlook "The Sarah Connor Chronicles." We never expected any actress could take Linda Hamilton's place in our hearts, but Headey delivered a compelling turn as the robot-batting heroine that stands shoulder-to-shoulder with Hamilton's performance. If Headey really is joining the "Dredd" cast, consider us on board.

More info on Lena's new movie

Safe House Poster

More info about Lena's new movie, it looks like it's a horror flick rather than a thriller... @-) :-< and - here I get a little worried - it involves monsters... :-o /blur 

Anyway here is a new article with a bit more info, the Morning Starr reports:
"Terminator: The Sarah Connor Chronicles star Lena Headey will be the lead in the brand new horror film Safe House. Headey leads a pretty impressive cast in the movie which is being touted as “Assault On Precinct 13 meets The Thing”. The plot involves a mother and teenage daughter who are put in a safe house as part of a witness protection programme, but things turn sour when the house and it’s occupants are attacked by vicious monsters. The plot might not be the most original, but Headey will be joined by the legendary Michael Ironside and the role of the teenage daughter appears to have been offered to the yummy Kate Mara. Michael Trucco from Battlestar Galactica and V will also be joining them, and the special effects team behind the aliens in District 9 will be creating the monsters."

And here's what the director said:
"Safehouse is a terrific project, a totally entertaining movie with a fresh angle - we start pre-production this fall with shooting in South Africa in the Spring of next year. This movie is an entirely different project for me. It’s very realistic, shot on location, full of jumps and scares. Its going to be great and I am so excited to working with Lena, (Headey) Michael (Ironside) and such a tremendous cast."

New movie for Lena

It looks like Lena has been cast in a new movie! It's a thriller, let's hope it's a good one... 8-| :-S

She'll play the lead role, here's the article from Deadline:

The Terminator: The Sarah Connor Chronicles actress will lead the cast in a new Brit shocker being planned for next year. Michael Ironside (Terminator Salvation) is also attached. Offers are out to Kate Mara (Iron-Man 2) and Michael Trucco (Battlestar Galactica).

Safe House, which is due to begin filming next March, follows a team of US Marshals charged with protecting a mob-trial witness and her teenage daughter, Alice. Mother and daughter are relocated to an isolated compound high in the Californian Rockies. The location appears secure -- outfitted specifically for witness protection -- yet its past is steeped in mystery and violence...

Producer Steve Iles of Spirit Pictures pitches it as “Assault On Precinct 13 meets The Thing.” The director is Simon Hunter, whose last movie was Mutant Chronicles. “Safe House is totally different from Chronicles, which was a big canvas,” Hunter tells me. “This is a world that I’m going to portray in an extremely realistic way.”

Andy Briggs, who wrote Aquaman for Warner Bros and has worked with Stan Lee and Robert Evans, has written the screenplay and is also producing.

The filmmakers are certainly building this one from the ground up to be a fanboy’s wet dream. Image Engine, the Canadian VFX shop which created the aliens in District 9, is in talks to do the monster design. Simon Bowles, who regularly works with Neil Marshall (The Descent), will be production designer. Prosthetics will be built by SFX veteran Shaune Harrison (Harry Potter, Star Wars). And Jeremy Zimmerman is casting director (Moon, Hellboy II).

So if this is confirmed this is another project for Lena beside Game of Thrones, which she should be currently filming. :)

TSCC and GoT News!!!

There are some great news for TSCC fans! It seems like a DVD movie or maybe a proper movie is possible and people are thinking about it, all the actors are ready to get back on set, once again thanks to my buddy SVgal for the news, read all the details at the TSCC wiki.

As you all know Lena already gave birth and she's currently working on the set of Game of Thrones, so after that she might be available, although she still has a small baby to take care of ;)

And the other news is about Game of Thrones, there's a page on the HBO site with a short trailer, there's no Lena in it... but it's still good to see it's all happening!
Here it is:

New movie for Lena

In a recent interview Thomas Dekker, Lena's co-star in TSCC, revealed he has written a screenplay for a thriller movie called Sick which will have Lena play the lead role, here's what he said: 

I've written a screenplay with her to play the lead role. It's actually called Sick and it's about a woman who's married with a daughter. Things consistently terrible keep happening to her and you slowly realise she's bringing it on herself. It's sort of a question of why. It's a pretty psychological thriller. It's a hard role but she's good enough to tackle it.

He also talked about the experience of working on the TSCC set: "We were all mad on that show and tired constantly, Lena and I were two badly behaved children so that was what you had to watch out for, constantly getting into trouble and playing games."

Lena already starred in another movie written and directed by his friend Thomas, called Whore. Let's hope to get to know more about this project soon! 

You can read more and check the video interview here.

Old Scratch: new movie with Lena

There's a trailer out there for a new horror movie titled Old Scratch, which reunites Lena and Thomas Dekker, once again directed by Rob Hall who also worked on TSCC. I'm not really a big fan of this slasher movies, I prefer thrillers like The Broken, but Lena seems to enjoy acting in them! ;))

So there you have it, thanks to my buddy SVgal for the heads up and the IMAY fansite for the trailer :)

Thomas again on TSCC movie

More news on the TSCC movie, Thomas was asked about it when he was in San Francisco on the first of May promoting another movie and he says it's happening!! Watch this clip to hear it for yourself! Thanks to Dekker_daily!

Now we also know that from June or end of June Lena should be on set for Game of Thrones, but maybe right after she could be working on a TSCC movie?! Who knows... busy times ahead for the new mommy! Thomas Dekker seems pretty sure and convinced about what he's talking about, so maybe this time it will really happen!! :) They would probably focus a lot on the future scenes, especially if the budget allows that, so now we have to see how much of Sarah will be in the movie, hopefully a lot! Anyway this is great news, let's hope to have it confirmed anytime soon! All you Lenaholics and Saraholics out there keep your fingers crossed!! ;)

TSCC dvd movie?!

It seems like there might be hopes for a TSCC dvd movie, Thomas mentioned it once again when presenting his latest movie, Nightmare on Elm Street, here's the video from the Sarah Connor Society:


It's definitely good news that Thomas is talking again about this project, now that the rights have been acquired by Pacificor maybe things are changing?! Who knows... 

In a recent interview Summer was asked about a possible DVD movie too and here's what she had to say:

PW: Thomas brings up a possible movie on the season two DVD commentary -- what are your thoughts? 
Summer: I heard there were ideas of doing that – we certainly had an awesome idea for season three that carried the storyline from season two, but was a stand-alone arc as well. I could absolutely see us be able to do a film with the same characters. I’ll never give up hope on that. I know that everyone would absolutely come back.

You can read the full interview here.

Let's keep fingers crossed we certainly need more TSCC and Sarah Connor!!!

Quick update about Game of Thrones

From Winter is Coming we learn that HBO gave some details about the Game of Thrones pilot, they're reshooting some scenes, but nothing major, probably also due to the fact that one of the actresses, Jennifer Ehle, was replaced. Nothing has been said about the possible air date, so no changes there!! The wait won't be longer :)

Here's what HBO president has said: 

The David Simon and Eric Overmeyer series will resume production in the fall with season two debuting next spring — about the time another upcoming project, Game of Thrones, will be ready to hit the air. They should be ready about the same time. [...] [The pilot] looks beautiful, the compelling scripts are just fantastic, we’re doing reshoots but nothing major. The show is there.

Shooting of the first season starts in June/July in Northern Ireland and the show should air on HBO in spring 2011.
