February 01 Show Biz Chez Nous: Stars to shine in our town

One of the priciest pictures set to shoot here (Montreal) is Dawn of War, a $115-million production starring Henry Cavill from the hit TV series The Tudors. This epic set in ancient Greece is expected to be a special effects-laden film that will, according to director Tarsem Singh, have a real contemporary look to it.

Pre-production on Dawn of War was recently halted so the producers could look into the possibility of shooting the film in 3-D, which would add something like $15 million to the budget. Following the record-breaking success of 3-D hit Avatar, studio executives in Hollywood are more eager than ever to make films in the new state-of-art 3–D.

September 07 News from Henry and the Team!

News from Henry’s Management Team-AWESOME! ♥♥♥

SO WHAT’S HENRY BEEN UP TO THIS WEEK?

Last week, Henry travelled from Madrid across to the coastal Alicante region of Spain. Yesterday saw the start of filming. There has been some studio work and today he has been shooting some scenes in a secluded bay. Although the weather was beautiful, and it was set on a small beach, Henry worked very hard due to the usual re-shoots required in order to get as many camera angles as possible doing the same shot.

As part of Henry’s Management Team, I attended the shoot, and spoke with Henry about the film and also to update him on what his fans have been saying, and asking. I am meeting with him again shortly and he will be passing me a personal message for all of you, his loyal fans. I may also be permitted to post up a photo from today on location.

September 08 Shooting starts on Bruce Willis film in Alicante

News from the movie, but I think this magazine got the wrong summary. Am I wrong? Willis is the father and Henry is the son, right?

Shooting has started for the latest Bruce Willis action film on the Alicante coast.

The thriller has the title ‘The Cold Light of Day’ and also stars Henry Cavill from The Tudors, and Sigourney Weaver.
It tells the story of an American whose family is kidnapped when on holiday in Spain. Bruce Willis only has a few hours to find them, and discover the connection between their disappearance and the secrets of his father.
The film will be shot entirely in Spain and is produced by Galavis Film, Summit Entertainment and Intrepid Pictures. It is directed by Mabrouk El-Mechri, and based on an original screenplay by Scott Wiper and John Petro, with revisions by Richard Price. Much of the production team is Spanish in what is a joint Spanish/United States project.
Ten weeks filming is expected in the Valencia region, as well as in Madrid and in the Ciudad de la Luz studios in Alicante.
Shooting started on Monday this week in Dénia, and continued Tuesday on the Cala de la Granadella beach in Jávea where some of the action scenes were shot.

May 25 Will be Henry taking part at “Justice League” movie?

I was just reading an announcement at Screenrant.com about Jim Lee and Geoff Johns (DC Comics legendaries) taking part of Superman panel at Hero Complex Film Festival next month.
Both are describing it as “bombshell announcements about the future of Superman and the entire DC Universe”. Since it’s a film festival panel, it seems it must refer an announcement regarding Zack Snyder’s Man of Steel movie.

Won’t be intriguing if it wasn’t part of the statement the “entire DC Universe” mention. So, it could mean an announcement of “Justice League” movie. Back in March, the movie was confirmed and even there’s not a release date yet, the desired date is 2013. Men of Steel and Nolan’s The Dark Night Rise’s will be released in 2012, so the movies cannot be released in the same year.

Snyder told, after the “Justice League” announcement, that Henry will not be part of “Justice League” movie, since his “Men of Steel” will be it’s own separate thing apart the new superhero movies. Which I don’t get it, I mean, why they would do a Superman movie in 2012, and then reprise the role in a brand new movie with another actor in the next year?

Let’s just wait. Any news will be, of course, posted here.

June 07 Henry Cavill and Amy Adams as Clark & Lois

MovieNewz have released a movie (manipulated) image of Amy Adams and Henry Cavill as Lois & Clark in the upcoming Superman reboot “Man Of Steel.” They are also reporting that director Zack Snyder and Warner Bros. are considering the city of Plano, Illinois to film the new Superman Man of Steel in August.

According to this newspaper, the city’s Mayor has not yet received final confirmation that Plano has been selected as the filming location but confirmed that he has been in secret talks with Warner Bros. for a few weeks. Possible shooting locations could include property near Fox River for a “bus-crashes-in-river scene,” Centennial Elementary School, built in the ’50s; and the city’s “older downtown.”

February 11 Henry looking to join period epic The Great Wall

Henry Cavill is still working hard as the eponymous man of steel in Zack Snyder’s new Superman film, but the Brit star must be enjoying a little downtime, because he’s eying his next project, period epic The Great Wall.

Edward Zwick, of The Last Samurai, is already in place as director, having written the screenplay with Marshall Herskovitz. It’s based on a story by World War Z scribes Max Brooks and Thomas Tull.

Plot details are light, but Variety report that the film will look into the mystery behind how China’s Great Wall was built in the 5th Century BC.

No word yet on who Cavill would play, though we assume he’ll get to fling a few fists in the process. With Zwick behind the camera we should definitely expect some action, not to mention beautiful period furnishings.

Cavill may still be pumping iron as Superman, but we won’t get to see the finished film until Man Of Steel opens on 14 June 2013.

May 22 Raising The Roof

Oh, hello gorgeous! Nice to see you!

According to Vogue UK, Henry attended past Saturday the Lovebrunch, in London.

Held at The Roof Gardens in Kensington, it combined the laid-back atmosphere of a daylight gathering with great music, barbecue delicacies and a host of cocktails to put guests in the party mood. And it seems Vogue wasn’t the only one enamoured with the afternoon’s delights – we spotted Brit actor and soon-to-be Superman Henry Cavill also in attendance.

August 27 Justice League Rumors

As everyone knows, Warner Bros. is doing their superhero team-up movie, but since it’s not even confirmed they will be using the same Superman actor (aka our Henry), let’s treat all “Justice League” news as rumors, okay?

The big talk right now is “who” is going to direct the movie. The name on the top of the Warner’s list was Ben Affleck, but he confirmed he’s not going to do it.

“I’m not working on the ‘Justice League.’ One of the problems with entertainment web sites is that they need to fill pages, and that’s how rumours get started. ‘Justice League’ sounds really exciting, but it’s not something I’m working on.”

Now Moviehole is suggesting that Andy and Lana Wachowski, the duo behind “The Matrix” trilogy, are another possibility on the Warner’s list, like The Playlist is pointing here.

So, what do you think?

November 20 Henry to be “Tarzan”?

A few days ago a short list has been released about the “Tarzan” remake that Warner Bros. has been working on. Henry Cavill, Sons Of Anarcy” star Charlie Hunnam, “True Blood” fang banger Alexander Skarsgard and “Dark Knight Rises” Tom Hardy was named to be meeting Yates to discuss the lead role.

But it seems the favorite of David Yates and Warner Bros. isn’t your Man of Steel, but Swedish actor Alexander Skarsgård.

As Variety notes, there is no offer and a casting decision hasn’t been made so there’s still hope for those who want to see Henry as the King of the Jungle! So should this all come to pass, Skarsgård will play John Clayton III, who gets reassimilated into society only to be asked by Queen Victoria to investigate some strange things going on in the Congo. At his side? Civil War veteran George Washington Williams, a role that Samuel L. Jackson is being eyed for.

What do you think?

November 30 “50 Shades of Grey” Movie: Henry Cavill is out

The 50 Shades of Grey movie casting rumors recently got supercharged when Superman Henry Cavill commented on the possibility of playing Christian Grey. However, fans of E. L. James’ erotic novel probably won’t get to see Anastasia Steele being spanked by the Man of Steel star.

According to a Nov. 30 report by Entertainmentwise, Henry Cavill’s reps have already denied that he’s in talks for the role.

So, what do you think?

Cavill will be joined on stage by Armie Hammer, Alicia Vikander, Elizabeth Debicki and director Guy Ritchie to promote the retro spy feature during the WB panel on July 11, which runs from 10:30am through 12pm in the massive Hall H of the San Diego Convention Center.

In a statement, WB president, worldwide marketing and international distribution Sue Kroll said that Comic-Con “provides us a fantastic opportunity to interact with the fans and this year, as with every year, our aim is to surpass their expectations.” (Warners also promises “unexpected offerings that are sure to delight the crowd,” interestingly enough.) She added that Warners is also “thrilled” to offer filmmakers “a chance to experience the unique energy and enthusiasm” of the show.

November 08 New ‘Justice League’ Motion Poster Features Superman

“This is what we know. The world has grown darker and while we have reason to fear we have the strength not to. There are heroes among us to remind us that only from fear comes courage, that only from the darkness can we truly feel the light.”

Henry will be toplining Netflix’s adaptation of The Witcher book series.

September 07 Los Angeles Film Festival Sets ‘Nomis’ for Closing Night

One of Henry’s upcoming projects will be coming sooner than we all thought, as the Los Angeles Film Festival selects Nomis for its closing night on September 28th!

DEADLINE – The Los Angeles Film Festival will close with the world premiere of first-time writer/director David Raymond’s psychological thriller Nomis, which will screen on Sept. 28 at the Arclight Hollywood Cinerama Dome.

The film focuses on a police trap for online predator Simon Stulls. They soon realize that the extent of his crimes go far beyond that of his own psychological trauma. Nothing quite makes sense – that is, until people involved in the case on both sides of the law start getting murdered. Nomis stars Henry Cavill, Sir Ben Kingsley, Nathan Fillion, Minka Kelly, Alexandra Daddario and Stanley Tucci.

“As a festival that has always championed new voices, it is only fitting to be closing this year with the work of a first-time writer/director,” said Jennifer Cochis, LA Film Festival Director. “In Nomis, David Raymond created a thrilling film made all the more terrifying by the performances from his incredible cast.”

September 12 Unofficial: Henry Cavill Out as Superman

This news is still unofficial, but I thought I’d still post it here. It looks like we have seen the last of Henry donning the red cape as contract talks break down between Henry’s reps and Warner Bros.

HOLLYWOOD REPORTER – The DC cinematic universe appears to be losing its Man of Steel.

Henry Cavill, who has played Superman in three films, is parting ways with Warner Bros., sources tell The Hollywood Reporter. Though neither side is confirming, the British actor, who first donned the blue suit for 2013’s Man of Steel, and then starred in 2016’s Batman v. Superman and last year’s Justice League, is said to be hanging up the red cape.

Warners had been trying to enlist Cavill, who most recently co-starred in Mission: Impossible — Fallout, for a Superman cameo in Shazam!, which stars Zachary Levi and will bow April 5. But contract talks between Cavill’s WME reps and Warners broke down, and the door is now closing on other potential Superman appearances.

That’s because the studio has shifted its focus to a Supergirl movie, which will be an origin story featuring a teen superheroine. This effectively removes an actor of Cavill’s age from the storyline’s equation given that Superman, aka Kal-El, would be an infant, according to DC lore.

Furthermore, Warners isn’t likely to make a solo Superman film for at least several years, according to another source. “Superman is like James Bond, and after a certain run you have to look at new actors,” says a studio source. As such, Cavill will join Ben Affleck, who isn’t expected to reprise his role for director Matt Reeves’ forthcoming Batman stand-alone film, as a hero on the way out.

A Warners source says the Shazam! deal fell apart because of scheduling conflicts. And that is backed up by the fact that Cavill recently signed on to star in the Netflix series The Witcher. However, another source says that the Witcher commitment came after the Warners impasse, suggesting a change in Warners’ strategy.

“There’s a recognition that some parts of the previous movies didn’t work,” says the studio insider. Another source says Warners is trying to hit a “reset” button with the DC universe, steering its ship slowly into another direction.

November 30 Saban Films Acquires ‘Nomis’ for U.S. Distribution

After premiering at the Los Angeles Film Festival last September, Nomis is finally headed to U.S. cinemas in 2019! No official release date yet, but it’s a start.

VARIETY – Saban Films has acquired U.S. distribution rights to David Raymond’s directorial debut “Nomis,” starring Henry Cavill, Ben Kingsley, and Alexandra Daddario.

The L.A. Film Festival selected “Nomis” as its closing night film on Sept. 28 at the ArcLight Hollywood Cinerama Dome. The showing was the world premiere for “Nomis,” which follows American police trapping an online predator, only to realize the depth of his crimes goes far beyond anything they had anticipated. As new leads emerge and the case unravels, Cavill’s character teams with a local vigilante (Kingsley) in pursuit of vengeance.

The thriller also stars Stanley Tucci, Minka Kelly, and Nathan Fillion. Raymond wrote the script, and also produced alongside Robert Ogden Barnum, Arise Pictures’ Chris Pettit, Buffalo Gals’ Jeff Beesley, and Rick Dugdale.

Saban Films’ Bill Bromiley said, “This is a beautifully crafted tension-filled thriller with a cast that, undeniably, our audiences will love. ‘Nomis’ is a fun and entertaining ride and we’re very excited to be onboard.”

April 18 ‘The Witcher’ to Premiere This Fall

There’s no official premiere date yet, but The Witcher is set to launch in the fourth quarter of the year!

VARIETY – Netflix new live-action series based on “The Witcher” will launch in the company’s fourth quarter, which runs from October to December, the company’s chief content officer noted in an earnings call this week.

Netflix CCO Ted Sarandos was responding to a question about Neflix 2019 line-up when he brought up the timing for the show, which is based on a series of books made internationally popular through successful video game adaptations.

“Well, definitely in the third quarter, we’ve got new episodes and new seasons of some of our most loved and most watched shows on Netflix, ‘Stranger Things,’ ‘Casa de Papel,’ ‘Orange Is the New Black,’ ’13 Reasons Why,’ ‘Elite,’ which was a big hit for us right out of Spain, a new season from Ryan Murphy of ‘The Politician,’ a brand new show on Netflix that we think our audiences are going to love,” he said. “And then you start seeing later in the fourth quarter some of our bigger film investments coming through like ‘Irishman,’ like ‘6 Underground’ and also a big new original series that we’re currently shooting in Hungary called ‘The Witcher,’ that is an enormous European IP, very popular game and Book IP, that we think is going to make a really fun global series.”

The Henry Cavill-led fantasy series, which began production on Season 2 last month and is set to launch its new episodes in 2021, is the latest TV show to suspend or delay production due to fears about COVID-19.

On Friday, Netflix put a two-week hiatus on all of its film and TV production in North America in response to government restrictions and health and safety precautions. Obviously, “The Witcher” was not part of that particular grouping, given that it is shooting in the U.K.

“There can only be one.” Henry is set to star as one of the lead roles in Lionsgate’s reboot of Highlander! It will be helmed by John Wick director Chad Stahelski. Superman, The Witcher, Sherlock Holmes, and now the Highlander, we love our geeky king! Henry also shared his excitement on his Instagram account.

DEADLINE – In the world of the Highlander films, there can be only one and Henry Cavill has his eyes on the title. Sources tell Deadline that the Man of Steel star is in talks for one of the lead roles in Lionsgate’s reboot of Highlander with John Wick director Chad Stahelski helming. Kerry Williamson penned the script.

Neal H. Moritz and Josh Davis are producing the project. Amanda Lewis, Patrick Wachsberger and Gregory Widen will exec produce. Peter Davis, the original producer of the first film, was also on board to produce before his death this past February.

After exiting two huge projects, Henry has now set his eyes on another epic project, an adaptation of the Warhammer 40,000 game! Amazon Studios has secured global rights to it and adaptations will span across TV series, films, and likely games and animation. This is very exciting, especially we know how Henry nerds out when it comes to these things he loves, and now he gets some kind of control on the adaptation!

DEADLINE – Amazon Studios has made it official, confirming that it has secured global rights to the Warhammer 40,000 game from Games Workshop for Henry Cavill (Man of Steel) to star in and executive produce the franchise across all Amazon Studios productions. The agreement encompasses rights to the universe across TV series, film and likely games and animation.

Since launching nearly 40 years ago, the Warhammer brand has expanded through GAW’s miniatures, sourcebooks, tabletop games, animations, novels, a wealth of licensed material and video games.

Warhammer 40,000 is set in the far future, where humanity stands at the edge of what might be its brightest future, or its darkest age. The threats to humankind’s empire are many: traitors driven by the fires of ambition, alien empires sworn to reclaim the stars and the corruption of reality by malevolent gods.

Warhammer 40,000 has captured the imagination of fans of all ages, from all walks of life, and all over the world,” said Jennifer Salke, head of Amazon and MGM Studios. “We are excited to work with Henry, Vertigo Entertainment, and Games Workshop across our Amazon entertainment businesses on this brilliant, immersive franchise for our global customers to experience for years to come.”

October 11 Henry Cavill to Star in ‘Voltron’

Henry is joining yet another big franchise! He is set to star in the live-action adaptation of Voltron for Amazon MGM. No details yet on which character he’ll be playing and the plot details. Looking forward to this already!

Amazon MGM Studios’ giant robot Voltron movie is getting a man of steel.

Henry Cavill, the Superman actor and star of The Witcher, has come aboard to topline in the live-action feature based on the mecha anime that Rawson Marshall Thurber is directing.

The actor joins Daniel Quinn-Toye, the newcomer who impressed the studio and director with his West End work opposite Tom Holland, in leading the roll call.

Voltron is based on the Japanese sci-fi series Beast King GoLion and Kikou Kantai Dairugger XV. World Events edited and dubbed the series as a syndicated show, naming it Voltron: Defender of the Universe, which ran in the mid-1980s. The premise centered on five young pilots in a battalion named the Robot Lions, which are vehicles that join together to form a mega-robot known as Voltron.

The plot details for the new version is unclear. Thurber wrote the script with Ellen Shanman.

Producing are Todd Lieberman via Hidden Pictures, World Events Productions’ Bob Koplar, Thurber and Hobie Films’ David Hoberman.
