Kellan Lutz is known mainly for two things: playing one of the sparkly vampires in Twilight and having a ridiculously good body. But as mama always said, don't judge a book by its cover, and Lutz is far more than just a pretty face.

What do you do when some new film comes along and casually takes your studio’s box office crown? Do you fly into a rage, go and sulk in a corner or – like Marvel boss Kevin Feige – take the friendly high road and tip a hat to the new ruler in a funny way? Take a look at how Feige saluted the success of Jurassic World on Twitter.
Congrats Mr. Spielberg @UniversalPics @Legendary @LeDoctor @colintrevorrow and especially @prattprattpratt http://pic.twitter.com/5DxlDM8pgK

Jurassic World has indeed become a box office behemoth. Initial studio estimates placed it behind Marvel’s The Avengers this past weekend in terms of opening figures, but with the final tallies in, the new dino adventure launched with more than $208 million in the US, which puts it ahead of the 2012 film’s $207.4 million kick off across the pond.
The image, which finds Iron Man, Hulk, Cap and co. befuddled by the image of Chris Pratt’s Owen Grady riding a T-Rex that happens to be holding Thor’s hammer, Mjolnir (even with her strength, we’re not sure Rex would be able to hold it in anything but her fearsome jaws, but perhaps she’s just worthy to rule Asgard – look out, Loki!) And, of course, it doesn’t hurt that the film stars Pratt, who is the leading man for one of Marvel’s other successful franchises, Guardians Of The Galaxy.
Can Marvel regain the crown? Will Rex have to write a note congratulating team Star Wars when The Force Awakens rolls around in December? And, mostly, importantly, can she type well with those claws?
President Lyndon Baines Johnson (America’s 36th Commander In Chief, fact fans!) has had a run of portrayals on film in recent years, popping up in the likes of Selma, Get On Up, Parkland and The Butler, but usually as a character in someone else’s story. Now he’s getting a new spotlight in LBJ thanks to director Rob Reiner and star Woody Harrelson.
Originally developed by producers Tim and Trevor White and with a script from Joey Hartstone, this represents a subject that Reiner has been trying to bring to cinemas for years, ever since announcing back in 1997 that he was going to adapt a biography of the man.
The current version is not directly taken from any one book, but follows LBJ’s rise from the South to the White House, and the political turmoil he faced when the assassination of John F. Kennedy suddenly catapulted then Vice President Johnson in to the Oval Office’s big chair. Facing battles on either side of the spectrum, he attempted to heal the nation and secure his legacy by finally passing his predecessor’s Civil Rights Act.
“During the '60s, I was a hippy, and Lyndon Johnson was my president,” says Reiner. “At the time LBJ was the target of most of my generation’s anti-Vietnam War anger. But as time has passed and my understanding of political realities has grown, I’ve come to see LBJ in a very different light. He was a complex man, a combination of brilliant political instinct, raw strength, ambition and deep insecurities.
"The strength and power of persuasion that he showed to his colleagues existed alongside of a soft, almost childlike quality that perhaps only (First Lady) Lady Bird got to see. His life's path was nothing short of Shakespearean. From the poor hill country of West Texas to the corridors of power in Washington, he used his brilliant political acumen to pass the most groundbreaking civil rights legislation of the 20th century. And had it not been for the Vietnam War, I believe he would have gone down as one of America’s greatest presidents.”
The cameras should be rolling in September in New Orleans, though the project will face some competition from HBO’s TV Movie All The Way, which finds Bryan Cranston bringing his Tony-winning take on LBJ to the screen.
Good news for Neil Gaiman fans and anyone who has been waiting what feels like decades for his sprawling fantasy tome American Gods to finally and actually be adapted for television. US cable channel Starz has announced that it has handed a straight-to-series order to the show.
Bryan Fuller (who spends most of his time these days thinking up elaborate ways body parts can be staged or served in meals as show-runner of Hannibal) developed the series and wrote the initial script, while one of his old comrades from Heroes, Michael Green, is in place to run the programme once it’s actually up and running.
Gaiman's novel, first published in 2001, and again in an expanded edition in 2005, involves old gods and mythological creatures from various Old World pantheons (Low Key Lyesmith, Mr. Nancy, Mr. Jacquel), brought to the US by the immigrants who founded it. But their powers are waning as people's beliefs shift to modern worships like media and technology. When our hero, Shadow, is released from prison, he takes up with the mysterious Mr. Wednesday on an odyssey across America recruiting old gods for a war against the new.
During the journey, Shadow learns some interesting facts about his heritage, and faces down a child-killer. Characters from Sandman crop up occasionally, and the whole thing feels like a tour through forgotten corners of Americana as well as the mythology of, well, the entire world. The novel's companion piece Anansi Boys came out in 2005, and a follow-up story, Monarch Of The Glen, is in Gaiman's Fragile Things collection.
The rights to the book have bounced around through the years, and a series was previously in development over at HBO with Tom Hanks’ Playtone company backing that version. After the channel threw the idea into limbo along with the towel, FreemantleMedia picked it up and have partnered with Starz, which given its HBO-like freedom for content, seems like as good a place as any. Plus, with Fuller’s fingerprints on there, hopefully this won’t just be some dumbed-down version of the story.
Of course, the next big issue will be finding a cast to bring the characters to life as Gaiman, who is also serving as an executive producer, explains. "I am thrilled, scared, delighted, nervous and a ball of glorious anticipation,” he says. “The team that is going to bring the world of American Gods to the screen has been assembled like the master criminals in a caper movie: I'm relieved and confident that my baby is in good hands. Now we finally move to the exciting business that fans have been doing for the last dozen years: casting our Shadow, our Wednesday, our Laura..."

Kenneth Branagh is planning to straight up murder someone. But don’t worry – it’s all in the cause of cinematic art (or so he would have you believe). According to The Wrap, the Thor and Cinderella director is looking to tackle something both closer to and further away from home this time, as he’s in talks for 20th Century Fox’s new version of Agatha Christie’s Murder On The Orient Express.
Writer Michael Green – who is a busy man these days – is at work on a new adaptation of the murder mystery. The book was first published in 1934, and sees Poirot (“monsieur Parrot?”) exercising the little grey cells over the murder of an American tycoon on a journey from Istanbul (Constantinople at the time) to Paris. This new film has been in development since late 2013, with Ridley Scott, Simon Kinberg and Mark Gordon all aboard as producers.
Obviously, it’s not the first time Christie’s story has been brought to the screen – there have been various TV versions and an Oscar-winning 1974 big screen adaptation, which saw Albert Finney as Poirot and Ingrid Bergman lifting a trophy for her supporting performance.
It’s far from a done deal yet, but Branagh feels like the right man for the job given his work on Shakespeare adaptations and some of his ability to wrangle sizeable casts. The bigger question will be who they can get to fill Finney’s and – on the small screen – David Suchet’s suit and ‘tache.
The Edinburgh International Film Festival gets underway today with a local hero leading the way. Robert Carlyle’s first directorial gig, The Legend Of Barney Thomson, is the opening gala this year. The film has a new poster timed perfectly for the occasion. Click on the thumbnail for a closer look. {The Legend Of Barney Thomson Poster}Adapting a comic crime novel series, Carlyle stars as Barney, a hopeless barber overcome by some dark urges that lead him into a murderous spree. Cue Ray Winstone’s Glasgow detective and his high-testorone colleagues blundering about in a pursuit that may or may not end in a literal Ray Winstone floating head. Have a bang on that.
In case you were wondering, Emma Thompson's Oscar campaigning hasn’t aged her terribly. She’s been made up by X-Men and Harry Potter alumnus Mark Coulier to put the years on as Barney’s domineering mum and “good-time girl", Cemolina. It’s an intriguing ensemble enhanced by the presence of Tom Courtenay, Ashley Jensen and Martin Compston in supporting roles.
Says the festival’s new artistic director, Mark Adams: “We are thrilled to be opening this year’s festival with Robert's wonderful black comedy. It’s a marvellously macabre and playful film, impressively directed and with a terrific cast.” While its director is from Glasgow rather than Auld Reekie, there should be plenty of local goodwill – despite all those lobbed pint glasses in Trainspotting.
The Legend Of Barney Thomson is released in cinemas on July 24. For all your ticket and screening info needs, head to the official site here, and remember, Empire will be in town for a special EIFF live podcast on June 21. Come join us for film-related fun...
