You might recognise the Hawaiian beauty from The Rules of Attraction, 40 Days and 40 Nights, or A Knight’s Tale. She’ll play the mother of twins who moves into Hawke’s old house, and will inevitably be haunted Shannyn Sossamon in The Rules of by the freaky Bughuul.

This is one which may cause 1 and while it seems to start off as a G.I. a bit of a stir but will undoubtedly be a Jane tale, it’s far less about the wonder of must-see.

It's been DALLAS BUYERS CLUB confi rmed that Game of Thrones' Sophie Turner 7 (who plays Sansa Stark) has been cast as Mary Shelley, the English novelist who wrote LEGEND OF HERCULES Frankenstein in 1818 when she was just 21 8 years old. The fi lm will follow Shelley through the years of writing the legendary gothic horror Sophie Turner as WOLF CREEK 2 novel and the toll it took on her. We think Turner Sansa Stark in Game 9 has more than enough charisma to be a leading of Thrones lady – can't wait to see how this one turns out. 10 ALL IS LOST 5 TKE11_04-08_NewsReel.indd 5 18/08/2014 11:38 am AD TEMPLATE.indd 30 18/08/2014 4:19 pm NEWSREEL TRIDENT TIME? Itte oakah! There’s quite a bit of set footage fl oating around out there from upcoming superhero standoff epic Batman V Superman: Dawn of Justice, but it’s only wobbly hand-held bits of Ben Affl eck as regular old Bruce Wayne running down the street. Now we have word that perhaps we actually should be looking out for Aquaman! While rumours have been sprinkled around that Jason Momoa may be cast as the underwater hero (rumours that we ourselves helped spread last month), a man claiming to be Zack Snyder has rung into a Detroit radio station and told the hosts off for laughing at Aquaman’s abilities. “The cool thing with Aquaman is his triton, so you have to realise that could cut the fl esh of Superman if they came in contact,” maybe-Snyder said. “Not to say he’s in my movie or anything like that, but he has the potential to be bad ass. That’s all I’m saying.” I think we’d all really like to see Momoa swipe his triton around at Henry Cavill, so let’s hope this one’s for realsies. TURBO TURTLE A VERY LIZZY POWER! CHRISTMAS Lizzy Caplan, who is currently enjoying a buttload Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles has just caned everything of praise for her work on Showtime series in living sight at the box offi ce, and its producer, Masters of Sex, will join a still-pretty-mysterious Michael Bay, has taken the opportunity to put down Christmas fi lm starring Seth Rogen and Joseph his glass of champagne and announce that he’ll be Gordon-Levitt. We know it’s about Christmas, returning for the next one as well. We don’t yet know and that Rogen and Gordon-Levitt are playing if Jonathan Liebesman will be directing again, but the best mates (a union they had time to hone in 2011’s script is defi nitely to be penned by TMNT writers Josh 50/50), and that Caplan will be Gordon-Levitt’s Appelbaum and Andre Nemec. Who knows, maybe love interest. That might be all the plot some other Michael will want to reveal the secret of the ooze Christmas yawners need but knowing these actors, himself and get behind the camera for the sequel.
