Escape Plan Trailer
Here’s the first official trailer for Escape Plan, the film which happily unites the two testosterone titans Sylvester Stallone and Arnold Schwarzenegger.
Stallone plays a professional escape artist who makes a living testing prison security. But when his latest assignment turns out be to a set up, he finds himself trapped in a high tech prison at the mercy of a sadistic warden. Schwarzenegger plays a fellow inmate who realizes that together they might just have a chance to make a break for it.
Schwarzenegger and Stallone have clearly enjoyed trading one liners and fitness regimes for The Expendables franchise, but Escape Plan is really in truth the first feature length team up between the former rivals. Based on the evidence below it’s exactly what you’d expected.
Julianne Moore To Join Hunger Games Cast
Julianne Moore is the latest star in talks to join the cast of The Hunger Games for both big screen adaptations of Mockingjay. Based on the final book in the bestselling series, Moore would reportedly be playing District 13 leader Alma Coin.

The first sequel Catching Fire directed by Francis Lawrence is set for release later this year in November.

Check out a gallery of pictures from the Barcelona Premiere of new animated film Turbo, featuring stars Ryan Reynolds, Samuel L Jackson, Snoop Lion and Michael Pena.
From the makers of Madagascar and Kung Fu Panda, Turbo is a high-velocity 3D comedy about an ordinary snail who dares to dream big – and fast. After a freak accident miraculously gives him the power of super-speed, Turbo kicks his dreaming into overdrive and embarks on an extraordinary journey to achieve the seemingly impossible: racing against famed driver Guy Gagne. With the help of Turbo’s tricked-out streetwise snail crew, this ultimate underdog puts his heart and shell on the line to prove that no dream is too big, and no dreamer too small.
The film opens in UK Cinemas on 18th October.
Cameron Diaz Joins Annie Remake Cast
Cameron Diaz has reportedly signed up for the role of mean spirited Orphanage operator Miss Hannigan for the forthcoming Annie remake.
Despite recent rumors strongly linking Sandra Bullock to the role it appears to now be Diaz who’ll be joining the musical reboot alongside Oscar nominated young star Quvenzhane Wallis and Jamie Foxx.
Ironically the news comes hot on the heels of the recent announcement Diaz will also be returning for a Bad Teacher sequel. So children watch out… Cameron’s coming for you.
Diaz will first be seen in Ridley Scott’s much anticipated effort The Counselor, alongside Michael Fassbender, Brad Pitt and Penelope Cruz.
