JAMIE BELL IS THE FINAL CHOICE FOR NEW SPIDERMAN

Few weeks ago HOLLYWOOD SPY gave you the names of young actors who got into the final circle of potential lead stars in the new "Spider Man" reboot, but now, according to "Bleeding Cool" young British actor Jamie Bell has become the studio's final choice. The studio hasn't yet confirmed the news, but talented Jamie seems to be a great choice as a gifted and profound drama actor who could bring something new to super hero movies. The other contenders for the role were less known actors Alden Ehrenreich, Frank Dillane, Andrew Garfield and Josh Hutcherson. It generally appears that Jamie Bell is getting more and more popular, and he could be one of the big stars in future years, since he already has roles in the upcoming epic "The Eagle of the Ninth", Spielberg's and Peter Jackson's future adventure "Tintin: Secret of the Unicorn" and the romantic adaptation of "Jane Eyre".

WILL MILEY CYRUS PLAY YOUNG CARRIE BRADSHAW IN THE POSSIBLE PREQUEL OF "SEX AND THE CITY"?

While she is conquering the world with her sensational new video "Can't Be Tamed", looking better than ever, Miley Cyrus has revealed that she wouldn't mind playing young Carrie Bradshaw in a possible prequel to "Sex and the City" movie. Although the third "Sex and the City" film wasn't yet announced it seems that a possible direction could be to go to Carrie's youth following the latest book from the "Sex and the City" creator Candace Bushnell called "The Carrie Diaries" which follows Carrie's youth before she came to NY. Candace Bushnell actually said a few years ago that Miley Cyrus would be great as the famous columnist in her teen years. Miley herself has admitted recently in an interview that she would love to do a younger, cleaner version of "Sex and the City".
As you know, Miley has recently finished "Hannah Montana", the show which made her famous, and she also starred this year in "The Last Song" with her boyfriend Liam Hemsworth, the brother of the future THOR, Chris himself, who is also having nice times in his career after scoring the lead role in the upcoming epic "Arabian Nights".

FIRST TEASER POSTERS FOR "CAPTAIN AMERICA THE FIRST AVENGER" AND "GREEN LANTERN"

Boring Sunday brings us some new logo-posters for some of the most anticipated super hero movies. Here are the first teaser posters for "Captain America: the First Avenger" and "Green Lantern". Nobody is sure whether these are the official posters, but most movie sites think they are. You already know that "Captain America" stars Chris Evans while "Green Lantern" stars Ryan Reynolds, and both movies are out next year. As you can see both movies have quite cheesy promo-lines "When Patriots Become Heroes" and "Anyone Can be Chosen".

PAUL RUDD TO STAR IN "MY IDIOT BROTHER" AND IN "WANDERLUST" WITH JENNIFER ANISTON

Paul Rudd is like Ashley Judd, whom I've mentioned yesterday, an actor whom I'm sure almost everybody likes. Even when he stars in some bad comedies he always gives a charming performance. He now has two new projects in line. First he will take the lead role in "My Idiot Brother", in which he will play an idealist who has to deal with his overbearing mother. In the film he crashes into the homes of his three ambitious sisters and, in succession, brings truth, happiness and a sunny disposition into their lives while also wreaking havoc. I hope they'll will find him some interesting sisters :) After that he will join Jennifer Aniston and Justin Theroux in Judd Apatow's comedy "Wanderlust" in which he and Aniston will play a couple who retreat from city life to join a commune.

UPDATE JUNE 9TH - Elizabeth Banks, Zoey Deschanel and Emily Mortimer will play Rudd's sisters in "My Idiot Brother".

Jeremy Irons will portray pope Rodrigo Borgia, the cunning, manipulative patriarch of the Borgia family, Colm Feore will play his arch enemy Cardinal Giuliano Della Rovere, while François Arnaud will play Cesare Borgia, Rodrigo's Machiavellian son.

BRETT RATNER PREPARING A NEW LIVE ACTION ADAPTATION OF "SNOW WHITE"

We'll definitely be seeing a lot of fairy tales on the big screen in the future. Beside already announced "Cinderella", "Jack The Giant Killer", "Wizard of Oz" and "Maleficent", and already successful "Alice in Wonderland", it seems "Snow White" will get a live action movie as well. According to "Deadline New York", director Brett Ratner is preparing the live action adaptation of "Snow White".
In the new movie, a young woman will still get poisoned by the evil witch's apple, but there will also be several updated aspects to the story. The plot will be more connected to the 500 year old folk tale and will put in some of the things that were missing from Walt Disney's film. His dwarves were miners, and here they will be robbers. There is also a dragon that was in the original folk tale. This new "Snow White" is going to be more edgy, with more comedy.

MESMERIZING FIRST POSTERS FOR SF ROMANCE "UPSIDE DOWN" WITH KIRSTEN DUNST AND JIM STURGESS

It seems that the lovely and very intriguing Kirsten Dunst sf romance "Upside Down", which HOLLYWOOD SPY wrote about last autumn, is progressing really nice. Check out the first posters. As you know, the story of "Upside Down" takes place in two worlds that are literally on top each other, each city with their own gravity system. Sadly, the citizens of each town can not visit the other, for unknown reasons. Jim Sturgess plays the main character Adam, who falls in love with a girl from the upside down world Eve, played by Kirsten Dunst. And like any good lovelorn hero, he's not going to let a little thing like gravity get in the way of his heart's desire.
The big plus in this movie is its production designer Alex McDowell ("Watchmen", "The Crow", "Fight Club","The Minority Report").
