Fincher is moving on to his first television project, “House of Cards,” a remake of the 1990s BBC hit political thriller that marks the first original series produced by streaming giants Netflix. The show stars Kevin Spacey as Frank Underwood, the House of Representatives Majority Whip who after being passed over for the position of Secretary of State, puts a plot into motion to bring down the President, while Robin Wright, who also featured in ‘Dragon Tattoo’ is also on board to play Spacey’s wife. And for the other female lead, Deadline has reported that Fincher has picked the elder sister of his Lisbeth Salander, Kate Mara.

She’ll play Zoe Barnes, a reporter for a Washington paper who conspires with Underwood to land a killer scoop, one that could have terrible consequences for her. Filming begins shortly in Baltimore, and Fincher said that “once we have five hours it’s going to be on,” so here’s hoping we see it very soon.

A release date of July 19th has just been announced for Peep World on R1 DVD and BluRay. No special features have been listed yet and sadly, the cover does not feature our Kate. I will be posting high definition screencaptures from the movie as soon as I can.

A new trailer has been released for Kate’s movie Ironband and Kate is featured in a few new shots. This one is considered a “redband” version meaning that it’s contents are not suitable for all viewers. I did not notice anything too offensive but I wanted to put that warning out there. You can view the trailer after the cut.

Last night, at the first public screening since its world premiere at Telluride last week, Danny Boyle’s “127 Hours” had an audience of eager Toronto Film Festival-goers squirming in their seats — and then jumping to their feet for a standing ovation. Based on the true story of outdoorsman Aron Ralston (played by James Franco), who was forced to amputate part of his own arm after it got stuck under a boulder, the film (out Nov. 5) is an intense, graphic, and (at around 90 minutes) compact experience that had plenty of viewers peeking at the screen through parted fingers. The climactic amputation scene in particular drew a a few muffled yelps from moviegoers who broke out in applause when the limb was finally severed.

Following a lengthy standing ovation, filmmaker Danny Boyle (Slumdog Millionaire) took the stage, accompanied by star James Franco (Eat Pray Love) and the real Aron Ralston himself, who fought back tears while describing the experience of watching the movie with an audience that included his wife and sister.

“I have to say thank you to everyone who’s standing next to me on the stage,” said Ralston, who revealed that he had originally wanted the filmmakers to create a documentary — and not a feature film — about the events that inspired his 2004 memoir Between a Rock and a Hard Place. “As a documentary it wouldn’t have been anywhere near as powerful as what that was. Thank you for convincing me otherwise.”

Franco, whose performance is already earning Oscar buzz, paid back the compliment, giving thanks to Ralston for sharing not only his recollections of the incident, but also the actual video tapes he shot while stuck in the canyon seven years ago. “I’ve really never seen anything like that,” said the actor. “It guided me through the performance.” (Source)
