Director Bryan Singer continues
to use his mutant powers of persuasion for another cadre of actors to return to
the X-Men franchise as Ellen Page
(Kitty Pryde), Anna Paquin (Rogue), and Shawn Ashmore (Iceman) have all agreed
to return for X-Men: Days of Future Past.
This casting comes on the heels of 20th Century Fox signing Ian
McKellen, Patrick Stewart and Hugh Jackman to return as well. Production on the
sequel to X-Men: First Class is
ramping up in Montreal, where it will be filmed. James McAvoy, Michael
Fassbender, Jennifer Lawrence and Nicholas Hoult all return as well. 
The BBC has announced the cast
for the Marc Gatiss written docudrama on the creation of Doctor Who. Harry Potter’s
David Bradley –Argus Filch- will play the first Doctor, William Hartnell. Bradley,
of course, appeared this season as Solomon in Dinosaurs on a Spaceship. Brian Cox, who played Hannibal Lecter in
the original Red Dragon movie and in
the X Men series, will play the BBC’s
Head of Drama Sydney Newman. Verity Lambert, who was Doctor Who’s first producer/showrunner, will be played by Jessica
Raine. Also, Sacha Dhawan (History of
Boys) will play Waris Hussein, the director of the first serial, An
Unearthly Child. An Adventure in Space and
Time, which is being co-produced with BBC America, begins filming in early
February and will air in November. 
Eva Green (Casino Royale) and Julia Garner (Perks of Being a Wallflower) has been added to the cast of Sin City: A Dame to Kill For.
20th Century Fox has
acquired the Dark Horse Comic Mind MGMT
by Matt Kindt for producer Ridley Scott, which will be made through his
production company, Scott Free, as well as through Dark Horse Entertainment. The
story centers on a true crime writer named Meru who is searching for the truth
behind a mysterious flight when he stumbles upon a secret government agency
made up of psychic spies.
Actor Charlie Rowe (Never Let Me Go) has landed the lead
role in a reboot of the BBC's documentary series Walking With Dinosaurs 3D at 20th Century Fox. The story is about two
young brothers who go looking for their missing father. But their adventure leads
them to a showdown with dinosaurs in the Arctic. Neil Nightingale and Barry
Cook co-direct from a script by John Collee and Theodore Thomas.
Cobie Smulders has confirmed that
she may be visiting ABC’s S.H.I.E.L.D
TV series, as her Avenger’s
character of Maria Hill. Talks have begun for her to join Clark Gregg from the
film, though if it happens, it will not be a full time role, due to her
commitment to How I Met Your Mother.
With S.H.I.E.L.D. likely to end up
on ABC’s fall schedule, Smulders could slide into another series if The Avenger spin-off succeeds.
