The Weinstein Company and Dimension Films has pushed the release of Robert Rodriguez and Frank Miller’s ‘Sin City’ sequel, ‘Sin City: A Dame To Kill For,’ to August 22nd, 2014. The film was initially scheduled to open on October 4th of this year. News comes courtesy of Box Office Mojo. Expect confirmation from the studio shortly.

The ‘Sin City: A Dame to Kill For’ cast includes the original cast members: Mickey Rourke as Marv, Jessica Alba as Nancy, Bruce Willis as Hartigan, Rosario Dawson as Gail and Jaime King as Goldie/Wendy. New cast members include: Eva Green as Ava Lord, Joseph Gordon-Levitt as Johnny, Dennis Haysbert as Manute, Christopher Meloni as Mort, Jeremy Piven as Bob, Stacy Keach as Wallenquist, Jamie Chung as Miho, Ray Liotta as Joey, Juno Temple as Sally, Julia Garner as Marcy, and Josh Brolin as Dwight.

‘Sin City: A Dame to Kill For’ weaves together two of Frank Miller’s classic stories with new tales in which the town’s most hard boiled citizens cross paths with some of its more repulsive inhabitants. In the film, Dwight is hunted down by the only woman he ever loved, Ava Lord, and then watches his life go straight to hell. Chronologically, this story takes place prior to “The Big Fat Kill” (featured in the film Frank Miller’s ‘Sin City’) and explains how Dwight came to have a dramatically different face (Dwight was played by Clive Owen in the original film).

According to various reports, 20th Century Fox are in talks with Jack Palgen to pen the follow-up to last year’s sci-fi blockbuster, ‘Prometheus.’ Ridley Scott will produce again through his Scott Free banner though it’s unknown at this time if he will direct. Noomi Rapace and Michael Fassbender are also expected to return. Plot details are still being worked out, but Scott has said in interviews that while the first ‘Prometheus’ had several elements linking it to the ‘Alien’ franchise, this latest installment will feel more like its own film.

Jack Palgen’s script for ‘Transcendence’ drew the attention of Christopher Nolan’s longtime cinematographer Wally Pfister, who will be making his directorial debut on the project. Nolan is producing the sci-fi movie, which stars Johnny Depp, Rebecca Hall, Paul Bettany, Cillian Murphy, Morgan Freeman and Kate Mara.

‘Prometheus’ was released last June and starred Noomi Rapace, Michael Fassbender, Charlize Theron, Idris Elba, Sean Harris, Kate Dickie, Rafe Spall, Logan Marshall-Green, and Guy Pearce. It marked director Ridley Scott’s long-awaited return to science-fiction, a genre he helped define with ‘Alien’ and ‘Blade Runner.’ The film grossed $403 million worldwide on a reported production budget of $130 million. Scott is currently finishing up post-production on his Cormac McCarthy-scripted thriller, ‘The Counselor,’ which has Fassbender, Brad Pitt, Javier Bardem, Penelope Cruz, Cameron Diaz, Dean Norris and John Leguizamo starring.

Walt Disney Pictures has released this latest behind-the-scenes featurette for ‘The Lone Ranger.’ A stellar cast has been assembled for the film, with Armie Hammer (The Social Network) taking on the role of the titular character, Johnny Depp playing Tonto, and the likes of Ruth Wilson, William Fichtner, Helena Bonham Carter, James Badge Dale, Barry Pepper, Tom Wilkinson and James Frain co-starring. The film, which takes place in 1869, is directed by Gore Verbinski for Walt Disney Pictures/Jerry Bruckheimer Films. ‘The Lone Ranger’ marks Verbrinski and Depp’s fifth collaboration after the first trio of ‘Pirates of the Caribbean’ movies and the Oscar-winning ‘Rango.’

The film is described as “a thrilling adventure infused with action and humor, in which the famed masked hero is brought tolife through new eyes. Native American spirit warrior Tonto (Johnny Depp) recounts the untold tales that transformed John Reid (Armie Hammer), a man of the law, into a legend of justice—taking the audience on a runaway train of epic surprises and humorous friction as the two unlikely heroes must learn to work together and fight against greed and corruption.” ‘The Lone Ranger’ has been pencilled in for a July 3rd release in the US and a August 9th release in the UK. The production details and official synopsis for ‘The Lone Ranger’ can be read below the featurette.

The Wrap bring word that Oscar winner Morgan Freeman is in negotiations to join Scarlett Johansson in Luc Besson’s action-thriller ‘Lucy.’ Johansson stars as the title character, who is forced to become a drug mule and is subsequently transformed into an ass-kicking machine when a highly-specialized drug enters her system. As Lucy races against the clock to survive, her new abilities allow her to see into the future, move objects with her mind and disregard pain and other emotions. Freeman is reportedly making a deal to play a professor well-versed in evolution and the capabilities of the human brain who Lucy is on a mission to find before she dies.

Luc Besson penned the script and will produce with his EuropaCorp CEO Christophe Lambert. ‘Lucy’ is the latest Besson movie to feature a strong female protagonist, following the likes of ‘La Femme Nikita,’ ‘Joan of Arc,’ ‘The Professional’ and ‘The Fifth Element.’ Production will begin on ‘Lucy’ after Scarlett Johansson wraps ‘Captain America: The Winter Soldier.’ Morgan Freeman, who recently starred in ‘Oblivion,’ ‘Now You See Me,’ and ‘Olympus Has Fallen,’ will next be seen in ‘Last Vegas.’ He’s currently filming Wally Pfister’s directorial debut ‘Transcendence’ and is also voicing a role in ‘The Lego Movie.’
