Elizabeth Shue on the set of Piranha 3-D

After posting the photos of Kelly Brook all bloodied up on the set of Alexandre Aja's Piranha 3D it looks as if more pics are heading down the river.

Here we see Elizabeth Shue and it appears that she has really been working out for the role.

I'm curious to see a shot of Richard Dreyfuss from the set.

Piranha 3-D is cast

You can all rest easy now as Bloody Disgusting have news on the cast for Piranha 3-D

Dina Meyer (Starship Troopers, Saw I - IV) will play Paula, Brooklynn Proulx (Fireflies in the Garden) will play Laura Quinn Lord (Trick 'r Treat) will play Zane, and Riley Steele will play Crystal.

They're joined by leads Adam Scott, Elizabeth Shue and Ving Rhames. As previously mentioned Richard Dreyfuss will have a cameo as well.

They're back! Every year the population of Lake Havasu explodes for a single, wild weekend - the 4th of July, a riot of sun, drunken fun and sex-crazed mayhem. But this year, there's something more to worry about than hangovers. Havasu sits in the crater formed by a prehistoric volcanic eruption, and when earth tremors tear open a crack in the lake floor, all hell breaks through. Piranhas - a million ravenous, razor-toothed monsters, unchanged since the dawn of time. Unstoppable killing machines acting blindly under one primeval impulse: to hunt down anything that moves and strip it to the raw, bleeding bone.

Piranha 3-D will be shooting in 3-D and will be out in March next year. Alexandre Aja previously directed High Tension, The Hills Have Eyes and Mirrors.

Richard Dreyfuss to go swimming with bow-legged women in Piranha 3D


Nuke The Fridge reports that Richard Dreyfuss will make a cameo in Piranha 3-D.It looks like this role will be a tip of the hat to the character that Dreyfuss played in Jaws. All that's known is that his character will take down Amity brand beer.

There is even a school of thought that the actor's character might be the first to die in this new film.

In addition to this, according to The New York Post, Ving Rhames is going to be in this film as well. Nothing is known about the role he will play.

Elisabeth Shue will be starring in this film that is being directed by Alexandre Aja. It starts shooting this month.

Edward Norton v Edward Norton - Photo from Leaves of Grass.

Here is a photo that shows both versions of Edward Norton. He stars in Leaves of Grass as two different brothers. One is a college professor, the other is his identical twin, a hedonistic, pot smoking career criminal. The professor heads home to Oklahoma and ends up wrapped up in a doomed scheme involving the local drug lord.

Leaves of Grass is both written and directed by fellow actor Tim Blake Nelson. In addition to Norton, Tim Blake Nelson will play a best friend, Susan Sarandon will play the eccentric mother of the two brothers, Keri Russell will play a love interest, and Richard Dreyfuss will play the local drug lord.

W. (2008) - Movie Review

Director: Oliver Stone
Starring: Josh Brolin, Richard Dreyfuss, James Cromwell, Toby Jones, Stacy Keach, Thandie Newton, Ioan Gruffudd
Running Time: 131 minutes

This review by John Hiscock of the Telegraph. Cheers to Andy D for forwarding it on.

Oliver Stone has said he wanted to understand, not to hurt, George W Bush and to give a fair and true portrait of the man. And with W, the filmmaker - who stirred a firestorm of controversy with JFK and Nixon - has presented a relatively even-handed and entertaining portrait of the current US president, although it is sure to raise White House hackles, nevertheless.

W covers Bush's life from the age of 21 up to his invasion of Iraq, portraying him as both an arrogant, egotistical bully and a confused, sad and almost tragic figure manipulated by his aides and helplessly unable to come up with an exit strategy for Iraq.

Stone made the film in a quickfire 48 days on a £15 million budget to have it ready for release in the US before the November 4 presidential election, but the production values are excellent and there are no obvious signs of it having been a rush job.

As the title character who is in almost every scene, Josh Brolin has done his homework well and offers a convincing interpretation of George W, effectively capturing his mannerisms and style of speech.

Thoroughly researched and based mainly on available documentation, W opens with a post-9/11 cabinet meeting in the Oval Office.

In a series of flashbacks, we then follow Bush's early days as a hard-drinking, rambunctious womaniser and ne'er-do-well, his conversion, at the age of 40, to born-again Christianity, his sobriety and his career in politics.

Stone and writer Stanley Weiser, who also collaborated on Wall Street, place a great deal of emphasis on the father-son relationship, taking the position that George H Bush (James Cromwell) favoured his younger son Jeb and considered George W the black sheep.

Consequently George W is shown as constantly striving to demonstrate he is stronger than his father, castigating him for not finishing the job and taking out Saddam Hussein during the 1991 Gulf War and for losing the 1992 election by running a poor campaign.

Among the mainly excellent supporting cast, Richard Dreyfuss is downright scary as Richard Cheney, Britain's Toby Jones is outstanding as Karl Rove and Stacy Keach has some good scenes as the preacher who aids W's conversion.

Thandie Newton, with little to do, bears a startling resemblance to Condoleezza Rice and Ioan Gruffudd makes a brief appearance as Tony Blair.

Inevitably, because the story of the George W Bush administration is still being written, the film's ending is ambiguous.

Poignantly, the smug and self-righteous president is seen struggling at a White House press conference to define what he thinks his legacy will be.

'W' will be released in the UK on Nov 7

Leaves of Grass - Ed Norton as Twins

Leaves of Grass, which will star Ed Norton and is written and directed by Tim Blake Nelson, is being produced by Nu Image / Millennium Films and will start shooting in late September. The film is described as a comedic thriller about twin brothers, both portrayed by Norton, one an Ivy League philosophy professor, the other a small-time and brilliant marijuana grower. The professor is lured back to his Oklahoma hometown for a doomed scheme against a local drug lord that unravels his life.

In addition to Norton starring as the two leads, Tim Blake Nelson will play a best friend, Susan Sarandon will play the eccentric mother of the two brothers, Keri Russell will play a love interest, and Richard Dreyfuss will play the local drug lord. Nelson wrote the script and gave it to Norton last year, but Norton didn't read it right away. "When Norton finally did read it, he was hooked." Norton said that "there have been only a couple of times in my career that I've gone, 'That's exactly what I want to do.' It felt very complete." The film was just announced this week, but is already prepared to start shooting down in Louisiana in the next few weeks with a moderate budget under $15 million.
