Variety send word that Alex Pettyfer and Gabriella Wilde have been tapped to co-lead Universal Picture’s new adaptation of ’Endless Love.’ Though there was a book written by Scott Spencer in 1979, followed by a movie starring Brooke Shields in 1981, it is unknown how closely this film’s plot will mirror the previous versions. Shana Feste’s (Country Strong) is pegged to helm the film, while Scott Stuber and Pamela Abdy of Bluegrass Films and Josh Schwartz and Stephanie Savage from Fake Empire will produce. Tracy Falco will executive produce.
The project was reportedly highly sought after by several up-and-comers looking for a breakout role, and required a handful of test screenings before the final casting decisions were made. Others who tested for the leads included Brenton Thwaites, Sarah Bolger and Olivia Cooke. Alex Pettyfer was last seen in ‘Magic Mike’ and will appear next in ‘The Butler.’ Gabriella Wilde can be seen next in the Chloe Grace Moretz and Julianne Moore-starring ‘Carrie’ remake.

Ian McShane, Joseph Fiennes, John Hurt & Rebecca Ferguson Join Dwayne Johnson In ‘Hercules’
Mar 21st
Heat Vision are reporting that Ian McShane, Joseph Fiennes, John Hurt and Rebecca Ferguson have joined Dwayne Johnson, Aksel Hennie and Rufus Sewell in ‘Hercules.’ McShane will play Amphiarus, part priest, part prophet and part warrior who is Hercules’ (Johnson) counselor. To be directed by Brett Ratner (Tower Heist, the ‘Rush Hour’ series), ‘Hercules’ is based on Steve Moore’s graphic novel, ‘Hercules: The Thracian War.’ The take on the project grounds the classic hero and ditches the supernatural, making Hercules not the son of Zeus but rather a mortal with a fearsome reputation. He leads a team of mercenaries on a job where all ominously is not what it appears. Pencilled in for a August 8th, 2014 release, the film is eyeing a May production start in Budapest. The plot summary for the graphic novel is below.
Nearly 3,200 years ago, a tormented soul walked the Earth as neither man nor god: Hercules, powerful son of the god-king Zeus, and for this he received nothing but suffering. After 12 arduous labors and the loss of his family, this dark, world-weary soul turned his back on the gods, finding solace only in bloody battle. Over the years, he warmed to the company of six similar souls, bonded by their love of fighting and the presence of death never questioning where they go or who they fight, just how much they will be paid. Now the King of Thrace has hired these mercenaries to turn his men into the greatest army of all time, which means training them to be as bloodthirsty and ruthless as their own reputation. It is time for this band of lost souls to finally have their eyes opened to how far they have fallen and the narrow, perilous path to their own redemption.
