Hugo Weaving may be reuniting with his The Wolfman director Joe Johnston for The First Avenger: Captain America. Heat Vision reports Weaving's in talks to play Red Skull in the upcoming Captain America movie currently in pre-production.

If Weaving signs on, he'll be the first actor confirmed for a major role in Captain America. Johnston still hasn't settled on who will play the lead role, though it's believed Garrett Hedlund, Mike Vogel, and Chris Evans are still in the running.

Marvel Comics describes Johann Shmidt ('Red Skull') as the right-hand man of Hitler, personally trained by the leader of the Third Reich to be the head of Nazi terrorist activities. To up the intimidation factor, Hitler gave Johann a uniform featuring a red skull mask and he became known as Red Skull. Red Skull was put into suspended animation after losing a fight to Captain America and was brought back around in modern times by the terrorist organization, HYDRA.

Marvel's aiming for a July 22, 2012 release of The First Avenger: Captain America.

Green Zone's a Paul Greengrass movie through and through. What's that mean? Lots of shaky camera work, fast cuts, and gritty action scenes. And that's all fine and dandy, if you're a fan of not actually being able to focus on anything in the action scenes before Greengrass whips the camera away.

Greengrass likes to tease our eyes, showing just flitting bits of a fire fight or hand-to-hand combat before taking his wiggly giggly camera off whatever it is at the center of the scene to zoom in on something else. Read More...

The Hollywood Reporter says Jim Sturgess and Anne Hathaway are in talks to star in the comedy One Day, based on the novel by David Nicholls (Starter for 10) and adapted for the screen by the author. Nicholls' book tells the story of Emma and Dexter, students who meet for the first time on July 15, 1988 as they're getting ready to graduate. They form a friendship and agree to meet up once a year on July 15th. The story follows their individual highs and lows, tracking their professional lives and their personal relationships.

Director Lone Scherfig (An Education) is helming the Focus Features project.

Jim Sturgess recently completed work on Peter Weir's The Way Home with Colin Farrell, Saoirse Ronan and Mark Strong. And Sturgess will soon be heard in the 3D animated film Legend of the Guardians (formerly known as Guardians of Ga'Hoole) hitting theaters on September 24th.

Anne Hathaway has Alice in Wonderland currently in theaters and will next be seen in Love and Other Drugs with Jake Gyllenhaal.

Robert Pattinson's been keeping secrets from us. Pattinson, best known for playing Edward Cullen in the Twilight film series, can in fact act and can carry a film that has nothing to do with vampires or werewolves or high school romances. In the Twilight series pretty much all we've seen Pattinson do is look all dark, intense, and broody. There hasn't been much actual acting required of him thus far as Edward. But his performance in Remember Me makes you wonder where this guy's been hiding and why hasn't he shown off his talent - and not just his stylishly tousled bedroom hair - before this. Read More...

Twilight fans, the wait is over. Summit Entertainment is releasing The Twilight Saga: Eclipse trailer in theaters in front of Robert Pattinson's Remember Me (opening tomorrow), but they've also gone ahead and released the first Eclipse trailer online. It's a little gloomy with lots of close-ups of deep conversations and hardly any action, but we do get to see the new Victoria in this first trailer. Bryce Dallas Howard takes over for Rachelle Lefevre as the bad vampire who's out to kill Bella in this third film of the Twilight series. Just a quick look is all we get to see of Howard at this point, but she's got the pale face and flaming red hair part right.:

79 year old Clint Eastwood's showing no signs of slowing down. The Academy Award-winning director recently completed work on the supernatural drama Hereafter with Matt Damon and Bryce Dallas Howard, and he's already circling his next project. Eastwood's ready to jump back in the director's chair for a biopic on the controversial former head of the FBI, J Edgar Hoover, according to The Hollywood Reporter.

Dustin Lance Black, the Oscar-winning screenwriter of Milk, penned the script. Brian Grazer and Ron Howard from Imagine Entertainment and Eastwood and Robert Lorenz from Malpaso Productions are producing. THR says the project used to be set up at Universal, however currently there's no studio attached. It's likely, given Eastwood's long-standing relationship with the studio, that the Hoover film will wind up at Warner Bros.

J Edgar Hoover was the first director of the FBI, holding that position from 1924 (when it was known as the Bureau of Investigation) until his death in 1972. Hoover was instrumental in making the FBI into the leading crime-fighting agency, though his methods were extremely controversial. Hoover's personal life was no less controversial, and rumors still persist that he was a cross-dressing homosexual.

The most recent portrayal of Hoover on film was in 2009's Public Enemies. Billy Crudup played the FBI director who guided Melvin Purvis (Christian Bale) through the hunt for Public Enemy Number One, John Dillinger (played by Johnny Depp).

John Krasinski may or may not still be in the running for the lead in the Captain America movie (now Chris Evans and Garrett Hedlund seem to be the front-runners for that film, if the internet buzz can be believed), but he's definitely in the running for Something Borrowed. The Hollywood Reporter says Krasinski, best known for playing Jim on The Office, is close to signing on to the romantic comedy to be directed by Luke Greenfield (The Girl Next Door).

If the deal goes through, Krasinski would be playing one of Ginnifer Goodwin's best friends. THR reports Alcon Entertainment's looking to sign on the cast for two films, with Something Borrowed aiming to head into production in a couple of months. And if it makes significant box office bucks, Alcon has snatched up Something Blue, the second book in the series by Emily Giffin, and wants the cast back for that sequel.

Krasinski was last onscreen in It's Complicated starring Meryl Streep, Alec Baldwin and Steve Martin. Off-screen, Krasinski recently became engaged to Emily Blunt (The Wolfman).
