UPDATE: On April 1, 2009, a judge dismissed all but one of Vieira's claims, meaning he can only pursue the accusation of breach of settlement agreement if and when the case goes to trial next month.

"We're pleased with the results," said Hudgens attorney Christopher F. Wong.

CONFIRMED Roles:

Beastly -

Quote:

ET breaks casting news! Vanessa Hudgens is setting out to prove that true beauty comes from within.

CBS Films -- which is currently producing the Untitled Crowley Project with Harrison Ford, Brendan Fraser and Keri Russell -- has announced its latest project with a female superstar in the lead. Following 'The Back-Up Plan' with Jennifer Lopez, 'Beastly' is a modern-day take on Beauty and the Beast, with Vanessa playing the role of the fair maiden.

Set in Manhattan, the movie tells the story of a handsome rich kid with a mean streak. When he ditches a date, a curse is placed upon him, turning him into everything he hates. The grotesque transformation leaves him with the seemingly impossible task of finding true love to break the ugly spell.

The film will shoot in summer 2009.

Vanessa Hudgens Gets 'Beastly'

Apr. 20th, 2009 01:03 pm We interrupt the previous post to bring you this important update!
Two posts in one day. Wow! And I was so proud of myself for coming up with one long one. But here's the reason I needed to post again:

I got a call from the movie guy today. First, we made small talk. He asked how I was. I said I'm fine. I asked him how he was. He said okay but he's in L.A. and it's going to be 100 degrees out. I said it's a dry heat. He said he wasn't sure about that. I said I heard it was 45 and raining in New York. He said that was true. All this time, I'm thinking, "Why are you calling me? Are they making my book into a movie? What's going on? I mean, not that the weather in L.A. isn't INTERESTING and all . . ."

So, finally, I said, "So, what's up?"

And he told me.

Vanessa Hudgens has agreed to do the BEASTLY movie! It's a go. They start filming June 15.

And then, we talked some more about other projects, how long the filming would take and where (Montreal), whether I could visit the set (I can), when the movie would be released (probably about a year), and could I get some extra tickets to the premiere for my kids (Shouldn't be a problem), as if this was a perfectly ordinary conversation and my whole writing life hadn't just changed. And after a while, I started thinking, "I need to get off the phone now, so I can scream." But still, I kept talking.

Anyway, I'm screaming now: Ahhhhhhh!

I plan to be a diva someday . . . - We interrupt the previous post to bring you this important update!

Sucker Punch -

Quote:

Jamie Chung and Jena Malone have snagged starring roles in "Sucker Punch!" Zack Snyder's all-female action fantasy for Warner Bros.

Chung and Malone join Emily Browning, Vanessa Hudgens and Abbie Cornish in the pic, which Snyder is directing and producing with his Cruel & Unusual Films partner, wife Deborah Snyder.

Set in the 1950s, "Sucker" centers on a girl confined to a mental institution by her evil stepfather, who intends to have her lobotomized in five days. While there, she imagines an alternate reality to hide from the pain and in that world begins planning her escape, needing to steal five objects to help get her out.

Several actors have been in talks and negotiations to star in the movie, including Amanda Seyfried, Evan Rachel Wood and Emma Stone, but have fallen away because of scheduling conflicts.

Chung, replacing Stone, plays Amber, a country girl with a big heart. Malone, taking Wood's part, plays Cornish's younger sister. Both characters are inmates.

Chung, repped by Gersh and Kritzer Levine Wilkins Entertainment, next appears in Summit's horror remake of "Sorority Row" and the ensemble indie drama "Burning Palms."

Gersh-repped Malone next appears in the Iraqi war drama "The Messenger."

Zack Snyder adds two to 'Sucker Punch!'

Quote:

With Watchmen bowing Friday, director Zack Snyder is already busy prepping his next endeavor, the 1960s-based action fantasy Sucker Punch, based on his own script. Snyder is still putting together his all-female cast, but sources say Amanda Seyfried is in negotiations to play the lead role of Baby Doll, a young woman who has been committed to an insane asylum and fantasizes about escaping with the help of her fellow inmates, who take on fantastical roles in her mind. Offers are out to a slew of young actresses to fill out those roles, including Vanessa Hudgens, Abbie Cornish, Evan Rachel Wood, and Emma Stone. The $100 million budgeted film for Warner Bros. is scheduled to begin production in June. Says Snyder, who is also producing the film with his wife Deborah Snyder, "I already did the all-male cast with 300, so I'm doing the opposite end of the spectrum."

Ideal Sucker Punch Cast Is Revealed
By Katey Rich: 2009-03-03 21:13:37

Zack Snyder has already piqued the interest of his slavish dude audiences by saying he's casting Amanda Seyfried in Sucker Punch, a movie about chicks who break out of an insane asylum. But just wait until you hear who else he's trying to cast. Seyfried is pretty much locked down, and now Snyder and company have offers out to Abbie Cornish, Evan Rachel Wood, Emma Stone, and Vanessa Hudgens.

This is coming from Entertainment Weekly, which isn't saying just how close any of those woman are to actually taking the part. In the movie Seyfried would play the lead character, Baby Doll, a young woman who fantasizes about busting out of the insane asylum and casts her fellow inmates in the fantasy. Because it's Zack Snyder-- and also because the premise sounds totally bananas-- all kinds of gonzo action is guaranteed to follow. I for one can't wait to see Vanessa Hudgens launch a roundhouse kick.

Snyder's Ideal Sucker Punch Cast Is Revealed

Quote:

Who Will Be Throwing a SUCKER PUNCH in Zack Snyder's Next Movie?

It's been a while since a good ensemble cast of women got together for a movie that wasn't about how women relate to men. The best we get is crap like "The Craft" and "Bad Girls" and while I'm holding out hope for "Bitch Slap" later this year, the guy who may lead the feminist charge could end up being Zack Snyder of all people. His next film (after "Guardians of Ga'Hoole"), "Sucker Punch" sounds great (click here to watch Snyder's interview with Steve where he talks about the film). Now it sounds like it's getting a great cast on board, or at the very least, a cast that can surprise you.

The Hollywood Reporter says that Amanda Seyfried, Vanessa Hudgens, Abbie Cornish, and Evan Rachel Wood are all in talks to star in the film. It also provides a slightly more detailed synopsis of the plot:

Set in the 1950s, "Punch" follows a girl who is confined to a mental institution by her stepfather, who intends to have her lobotomized in five days. While there, she imagines an alternative reality to hide her from the pain, and in that world, she begins planning her escape, needing to steal five objects to help get her out before she is deflowered by a vile man.

Waves of "Pan's Labyrinth" are washing over me with that synopsis and it feels amazing. But what of the cast? Seyfried would play the lead with Hudgens, Cornish, and Wood playing her fellow inmates who also travel in that alternate reality. To give you an even better sense of the film, Hudgens' character is called "Blondie", Cornish is "Sweet Pea", and Wood is "Rocket". Again, this a whole heap of awesome.

If I have one minor reservation, it's Wood. Aside from starring in two films I outright loathe ("Thirteen" and "Across the Universe") and I thought she was the weakest aspect of "The Wrestler". I don't want to dislike her so I'm hoping that the next film I see her in (presumably Woody Allen's "Whatever Works") I'll begin to get excited for what she'll do in this film.

UPDATE: Entertainment Weekly is reporting that Emma Stone is also in talks to star in the film, which would be another great addition to this cast.

Who Will Be Throwing a SUCKER PUNCH in Zack Snyder's Next Movie?

Possible Roles:

Dead @ 17 -

Quote:

After a few rumors made the rounds, it turned out that foxy young Disney thing Vanessa Hudgens (best known for HIGH SCHOOL MUSICALs and naked photos) wasn't actually going to be part of the TWILIGHT sequel. Does she have a potential franchise of her own in her future?

Possibly, but right now it's just more rumor -- but at least it comes from a better source. According to comic creator Josh Howard, his Viper Comics title DEAD @ 17 is in the works as a feature film.

As Howard mentions during a recent podcast with Comics on Comics (via LITG), producer Lorenzo Di Bonaventura (TRANSFORMERS, GI JOE) has a movie in the works based on the comic property, and they're pursuing Ms. Hudgens for the project. Mike Dougherty (X2, SUPERMAN RETURNS) is working on the script.

DEAD @ 17 (soon jumping to Image Comics) involves a murdered teenage girl who returns from the grave, a prophesied savior who uses her new abilities to fight evil. While looking hot, of course.

Hudgens Dead@17?

Josh's official site - Heard any good rumors lately?

Quote:

The story is pretty much everywhere, so I'm not going to link to it. But in a recent interview, I was asked about the status of the potential Dead @ 17 film. I was very careful about how I worded my response, but the whole thing has taken on a life of its own. Yes, Lorenzo DiBonaventura and Michael Dougherty are involved, and yes, an actress has been approached, but that's pretty much it for the moment. It's still early, nothing is set in stone. Believe me - I've been down this road a dozen times before. Names have been attached before only to have it all fall apart at the last minute. I'm pretty confident in where things stand at the moment, but we'll see.

Vanessa Hudgens Dead @ 17, Mike Dougherty Scripting Her Demise And Resurrection

I reckon there was some credibility to the claims that Vanessa Hudgens auditioned for New Moon and I fear she only received the knockback when a disclaimer about her casting went public, the poor thing. All’s well that end’s well, however, and it seems like she’s now on the list for something a whole lot more interesting.

Rich Johnston at Lying in the Gutters linked to a Comics on Comics interview with Josh Howard, creator of the Dead @ 17 comics. In the interview, Howard mentioned that Lorenzo di Bonaventura was producing a cinema adaptation of his series and that Vanessa Hudgens was being pursued to star. Better still, he also spilled that Mike Dougherty is writing the screenplay.

Aside from Lex Luthor’s truly underwhelming “evil plot” (I know Lex has a thing about real estate, but come on) I think Superman Returns, which Dougherty co-wrote with Dan Harris, was really very good indeed and their previous collaboration with Bryan Singer on X2 is amongst the greatest films of the superhero genre. Dougherty’s last project was the much hyped but seldom seen Trick’r Treat, a cruel victim of Warner Bros. seemingly indecipherable distribution illogic. Seeing as he graduated to director there with an impressively increased reputation, I wouldn’t be surprised to see him taking the reigns on Dead @ 17 as well.

The comic’s premise sounds eminently franchisable: It’s Buffy meets Nikita as as 17 year old Nara Kilday (er… interesting name) is killed, resurrected and set to the task of slaughtering evil monsters and the like. I haven’t read a single panel of the thing so maybe I’m missing the new idea.

Nara has a friend called Hazy Foss, by the way. Where did Howard get these names from?

Judging Ms. Hudgens’ acting abilities on the strength of the projects she’s been shackled too so far would be cruel. It isn’t her fault that all she’s been shoveled little more than lowest common denominator dreck and films that have been less artistic endeavour than money laundering exercise. If she continues in this vein now that she’s being hunted for stuff at least one rung up the ladder, then I’ll change my idea of who is to blame.

Here’s a Dead@17 fan film from the great mixing bowl that is YouTube. Remember: I didn’t make it, I’m just embedding it.

so I heard from Evan today...

Molly can stop with the patienience game now...

You know, this Beastly film doesn't really bother me. I have no problem with her doing a wide range of movies - SP is going to be to an older audience so if she wants to do a quirky family friendly movie as well, then great providing the script is good. I'm a sucker for modern re-telling of fairytales, even when the concept is a bit strange. I never expected to like Penelope (even though it had my favourite actor in it), but ended up loving it so I have an open mind. Plus, I would kinda love to see her doing a rom-com or two - with SP and the rumour of Dead@17 she's going to be doing action, so it would be nice to see her do some different types of character.

Im here Chay.

TFTNT Molly.

cookie~monster · 04-21-2009, 07:59 AM

wow...lots of news i see...and not all of it for the best...

so now it looks like Vanessa is the biggest name attached to Sucker Punch...while that is not a good thing (because it is a 100 million dollar movie) most people don't go see Zack's movies because of who is starring in them...they go see them for the amazing action sequences and the fact that his films are really beautiful...sure a few go see them for certain actors but very few...and his films are never marketed based off who stars in them...in fact if you think about it most big budget movies never are...because while certain actors have pull you never want to put a big budget movie in the hands of one person

as for this new movie "Beastly"...I was really glad that Zac dropped out of it (mainly because he needed to make the transition out of teen movies if he wants to have a long lasting career doing more mature movies...men and women are different went it comes to teen idol status...I think its harder for men because most of their fans are girls and we like to change our minds a lot) so I don't know if I like that she is doing it...I do think that she needs another movie (pg13) perhaps to transition into before she does an r-rated movie so that is probably what her team is wanting her to do...

I'm going to need to see the final cast before I knock this movie though...sometimes some of the worst sounding films (not scripts because we can't read them) turn out to be some of the best...if they can get a somewhat well known but up and coming actor for the lead then this movie could do well...and I was kind of wanting to see her in a romantic comedy of some sort...

I imagine a big reason why she was able to do both of these movies is because they are supposed to be filming in Canada...and she really does need to get some more movies under her belt...

but i do like the fact that all of these movies seem different, so she is doing a really good job of trying not to get typecasted...

I'm wonder what the CBS films thing means...apparently its supposed to be their first big screen movie...so it will be interesting...hopefully that means this movie will get a lot of marketing on CBS
