Heller Finishes “Rome” Film Script

By Garth Franklin Friday March 5th 2010 03:38AM

Bruno Heller (“The Mentalist”) has finished his script for the film sequel to HBO’s acclaimed historical epic series “Rome” reports Entertainment Weekly.

Morning Light Productions will produce and finance the film which starts off in Germany four years after the show’s final episode which primarily dealt with the death of Mark Antony and Cleopatra and the rise of Octavian to become Emperor Augustus.

The film likely follows the fate of the show’s two leads Lucius Vorenus (Kevin McKidd) and Titus Pullo (Ray Stevenson), despite the former seemingly mortally wounded in the finale.

No word on what the plot would focus on as there were no major recorded historical events in the region around 25 BC, though the story could see the two former Roman soldiers hiding out amongst the Germanic tribes.

Heller previously indicated in his long-term plan for the series that had it continued the next storyline would’ve dealt with Rome’s response to the rise of a messiah in Palestine.

To be honest, Kevin McKidd was the man in this show, he has since done a few movies and a TV series (that was like a rip off of Quantum Leap) and now is on Grey’s Anatomy and his character is like the complete opposite of his character from Rome. It is quite disappointing and I hope that this movie gets made.

Ford Says There’s a Storyline for Indiana Jones 5

Harrison Ford tells the BBC that there’s a storyline for the fifth “Indiana Jones” film. The actor, Steven Spielberg and George Lucas have come up with a rough outline for the follow-up to Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull.

“Steven and George and I are sort of agreed on a germ of an idea and we’re seeing what comes of it.”

He added that, despite coming up with an idea for the movie, people won’t see the movie for some time.

“The process works like this,” he said. “We come to some basic agreement and then George goes away for a long time and works on it. Then Steven and I get it in some form, some embryonic form. Then if we like it we start working with George on it and at some point down the line it’s ready and we do it.”

“Kingdom of the Crystal Skull” earned $786.6 million worldwide.

LOS ANGELES (Hollywood Reporter) – John Krasinski as Captain America?

It could happen as Marvel conducts screen tests this week in its search for the actor to play Steve Rogers, the alter ego of the title character in its “Captain America” movie.

The company’s latest superhero movie is being directed by Joe Johnston (“Wolfman”) and tells the story of the young infirm man rejected from enlisting who becomes America’s symbol of liberty during World War II and eventually a member of Marvel’s superhero team the Avengers.

About seven actors have moved to the front of the super soldier serum testing line and have either tested or are expected to screen test this week and next at Marvel’s Manhattan Beach, Calif., headquarters.

Those known to be on the list with Krasinski include Michael Cassidy (who appeared in “Smallvile” and who tested for the Superman movie when McG was going to direct it), Patrick Flueger (one of the stars of ” The 4400 ” who most recently appeared in the Tobey Maguire movie ” Brothers “), Scott Porter (TV’s ” Friday Night Lights “), Wilson Bethel (” Generation Kill “) and Mike Vogel (” Cloverfield “).

Chace Crawford is also in talks to screen test, though no deal has been made.

Garret Hedlund, already starring in Disney’s “Tron,” was also on the list to test but has fallen off, at least for now, because of scheduling conflicts. Insiders say he may still make the testing round. Jensen Ackles is another actor who had scheduling conflicts.

The studio has put the actors on 30-day holds during the testing process.

Sources on both sides caution that an actor may not be found from the tests, which happened during Marvel’s search for the man who would be “Thor.” For that movie, currently shooting in Manhattan Beach, the studio conducted several rounds of testing but found its star, Chris Hemsworth, late in the game, after initially passing on his audition reel.

While Marvel is looking for someone on the youngish side and who can play rugged, one key ingredient emerging is that the actor be American, according to insiders. So far, no British or Australian actors have been seriously considered though the search could widen if no suitable candidates are found.

February 22, 2010

MTV talked to Cop Out star Bruce Willis over the weekend and asked him about some possible sequels that might be in his future.

Willis told them, “I think we’re going to do a ‘Die Hard 5′ next year.”

The fourth film was directed by Len Wiseman and earned $383.5 million in theaters worldwide in 2007. It was made for about $110 million.

So where does he see John McClane going this time? “It’s got to go worldwide. That would be my contribution to it,” he said, adding that he would like to see Wiseman return to the director’s chair.

Willis also told the network that M. Night Shyamalan is still thinking about doing an Unbreakable 2. “I talked to [Shyamalan] over the holidays, and he is still thinking about doing the fight movie between me and Sam that we were gonna do,” he said. “We chose to do the origin.”

He says he’s up for it as long as Samuel L. Jackson is.
