family. With her sister about to get hitched, she becomes determined to
find a man in 30 days. Luke plays her long-time friend and neighbor.”

Joseph Finder, opposite Liam Hemsworth,
Harrison Ford, Gary Oldman, Amber Heard, Lucas Till and Julian McMahon. Dreyfuss will also co-star in Naomi Foner‘s Very Good Girls with
Dakota Fanning and Elizabeth Olsen as best friends whose relationship is
tested when they fall for the same boy.
Angela Bassett will play the head of the Secret Service in Antoine Fuqua‘s Olympus Has Fallen opposite Gerard Butler and Aaron Eckhart. “Butler stars as a Secret Service agent who leaps into action when the
White House is overtaken by North Korean terrorists on a mission to
detonate nuclear weapons on American soil.” Eckhart will play the
U.S. President, while Bassett’s character,
is left infuriated by the security breach.
Bloody Disgusting has learned that Viggo Mortensen has been offered the lead in Neil Marshall‘s The Last Voyage of the Demeter, which focuses on the ship that carried Dracula’s coffin from Transylvania to England. The film’s storyline is said to be, “reminiscent of the first movie in the Alien franchise, in
which a crew is slaughtered one-by-one by a mysterious passenger.” Noomi Rapace was previously attached to co-star and her involvement is now based on scheduling.
Here are two posters and an official synopsis from the upcoming film The Campaign directed by Jay Roach and starring Will Ferrell, Zach Galifianakis, Jason Sudeikis, Dylan McDermott, Brian Cox, John Lithgow, and Dan Aykroyd.
When long-term congressman Cam Brady (Will Ferrell) commits a major public gaffe before an upcoming election, a pair of ultra-wealthy CEOs plot to put up a rival candidate and gain influence over their North Carolina district. Their man: naïve Marty Huggins (Zach Galifianakis), director of the local Tourism Center. At first, Marty appears to be the unlikeliest possible choice but, with the help of his new benefactors’ support, a cutthroat campaign manager and his family’s political connections, he soon becomes a contender who gives the charismatic Cam plenty to worry about. As Election Day closes in, the two are locked in a dead heat, with insults quickly escalating to injury until all they care about is burying each other, in this mud-slinging, back-stabbing, home-wrecking comedy from “Meet the Parents” director Jay Roach that takes today’s political circus to its logical next level. Because even when you think campaign ethics have hit rock bottom, there’s room to dig a whole lot deeper.
