New 'Tron Legacy' Trailer
Niels Arden Oplev Criticized Plans for A Hollywood Remake of 'Girl with Dragon Tattoo'
Swedish director Niels Arden Oplev has publicly criticized plans for a Hollywood remake of "The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo" - insisting his film should still be viewed as the definitive version of the story. Oplev's movie was released in 2009 and starred Noomi Rapace in the lead role of Lisbeth Salander.
A new American adaptation of Stieg Larsson's best-selling novel is now in the works, with newcomer Rooney Mara set to step into the part. The moviemaker is convinced there is "some kind of anger about the remake" within the film industry, and he hopes the new adaptation won't stop Rapace receiving awards for her work.
He tells Word & Film, "The only thing that's annoying to me is that the Sony (movie studio) PR machine is trying to make their Lisbeth Salander the lead Lisbeth Salander. That's highly unfair because Noomi has captured this part and it should always be all her. That's her legacy in a way I can't see anyone competing with. I hope she gets nominated for an Oscar..."
"Even in Hollywood there seems to be a kind of anger about the remake, like, 'Why would they remake something when they can just go see the original?' Everybody who loves film will go see the original one. It's like, what do you want to see, the French version of La Femme Nikita or the American one?"

Miley Cyrus to Show Obvious Transformation With 'So Undercover' Role
Miley Cyrus has shown obvious transformation on her stage performance and now she is going to affirm it through her next movie "So Undercover". The 18-year-old Disney star will portray a teenage badass who uses a lot of swear words and crude language all throughout the script, so said Hollywood Life which claims to have script of the movie.
Cyrus' character, Molly, is described as a real smartass who rides a motorcycle, carries a gun and can beat big dudes up. She will launch sarcastic humor [SPOILER ALERT!] like the one when she suggests a fundraiser, "I said car wash, not hand job booth!"
Cyrus reportedly has at least two big fight scenes and she will be seen punching a guy in the face in an effort to protect her dad in the first part of the script. Still, her character will get entangled in a romantic relationship with Nicholas, a "mysterious" and motorcycle-riding boy.
Nicholas is said "rough around the edges" and having "a strong body". But before she falls for him and shares smooch with him, Molly thinks he's the bad guy, so she handcuffs him to a radiator and "basically kicks the crap out of him," Hollywood Life further reports.
"So Undercover" will revolve around Cyrus' character who is hired by the FBI to go undercover in a college sorority. Not normally a private eye to take on government issued cases, Molly accepts the job to help her dad pay a debt to a bookie as her dad means the world to her.
Tom Vaughan is attached to direct the action comedy with the script provided by Allan Loeb and Steven Pearl. This movie project eyes December start date in New Orleans.

Russell Crowe Steps Away from A New Film
Russell Crowe has stepped away from a new film about Australia's infamous Bra Boys gang at the request of his wife Danielle Spencer. The movie star admits his wife was unhappy about his involvement with the project, which was to be a fictional account of the unruly family gang members' clashes with New South Wales authorities almost two decades ago.
Crowe tells WENN, "I stepped away from that. It's not something my wife is comfortable with me approaching." The actor was inspired to develop the project after watching 2007 documentary "Bra Boys: Blood Is Thicker Than Water", which was written and directed by members of the gang.
He adds, "Whatever was encapsulated in that documentary is not really the full story and the longer you wait the more things happen. I wasn't actually directly attached to the film, but my involvement helped the producers get their own idea off the ground."
