Neve Campbell Joins House Of Cards

Grand Old Party Of Five?

Since the Scream franchise bloodied its last blade, Neve Campbell has been seen most regularly on the smaller screen with turns in Grey's Anatomy, Mad Men and soon NBC’s Welcome To Sweden. As everyone knows, that’s no bad place to be as an actor these days, especially if you can leap onto a Netflix show like House Of Cards. Campbell is the latest name to be added to the roster for the show’s fourth season.

The Hollywood Reporter has Campbell appearing in a regular role, although Netflix is keeping her character details firmly under wraps.

While the critical consensus was that season three dipped slightly below the vaulted standards of the first two, you wouldn’t put it past Underworld to pull something truly Machiavellian out of the bag in the fourth. Kevin Spacey, of course, will return as a President with far more enemies than friends. Robin Wright is back as his wife Claire and the ever-loyal Doug Stamper (Michael Kelly) returns to clean up his boss’s many messes. No word on Freddy and his BBQ Joint.

Season four will land on Netflix in 2016.

Robin Hardy Starts Crowdfunding For The Wrath Of The Gods

The Wicker Man Part 3 is underway

It's possible you missed that there had been a Wicker Man follow-up, given that Robin Hardy's 2011 The Wicker Tree failed to catch on in quite the way that his 1973 cult classic achieved. But that hasn't stopped the veteran director pressing onwards to complete his long-planned trilogy. Crowdfunding for The Wrath Of The Gods has just begun.

"The Wrath Of The Gods is set at a time when the gods are very angry indeed," explains Hardy of the film's plot. "An international entertainment company has decided to build a theme park based on the Norse Sagas: the tales of the genesis of the gods, their battles with the giants, and ultimately their creation of the human race. They felt this was an outrageous intrusion on their privacy!"

The human characters include fugitive widow Clarissa accused of murder, and police chief Oscar. The pair are "brought together in an unlikely relationship because of their mutual love for steampunk". We're also promised a supernatural element and an ending "as horrific in its way as the burning of the Wicker Man"...

The Indiegogo campaign hopes to raise an initial $210,000, which will be allocated to fund building the theme park set, some steampunk artefacts and a viking ship. Among the perks, $30 gets you a poster and a thanks in the credits, and for $5k you can be an extra.

The Wicker Tree, based on Hardy's novel Cowboys For Christ, was recognisably a reworking of The Wicker Man's themes with a slightly different angle (American Christian country singers instead of devout coppers, for example). This one sounds... very different.

Sadly Christopher Lee is no longer with us for a cameo appearance - as he was in The Wicker Tree - but casting is already underway, with the James Mapes, Christopher Leveaux and Icelandic model Halla Williams currently confirmed. Hardy hopes to start shooting in October.

Teaser Trailer For London Has Fallen

Gerard Butler saves the Big Smoke

Gerard Butler is back in action as Mike Banning, Secret Service man with nerves of steel and the kidneys of an ageing thespian. Banning has tragedy in his past and skeletons in his closet – some metaphoric, some possibly real – but they’ve let him into the UK and, judging by the first teaser for London Has Fallen, thank goodness for that. He’s all that stands between us and a return to the dark ages. Don your protective headwear and click below.

He may have missed the Secret Service’s health and safety day but Banning is a ruthless practitioner in the art of defending his President, the highly incident prone Benjamin Asher (Aaron Eckhart). He’s seen off North Korean commandos in Olympus Has Fallen and now there’s another cadre of evildoers to fend off, this time on English soil. Not too many tourist attractions look like surviving this one.

The premise sees Asher and his fellow world leaders assembling for a state funeral. The presence of so many big knobs in one place attracts some Very Bad People to the capital with a Very Nasty Plan. "Only three people have any hope of stopping it,” runs the official synopsis. “The President of the United States, his formidable secret service head, and an English MI-6 agent who rightly trusts no one.” Sounds like Eckhart, who spent the majority of the first film cuffed to a railing, is finally up and running in this one.

Radha Mitchell is back as Leah Banning, with Angela Bassett, Morgan Freeman, Jackie Earle Haley, Melissa Leo, Robert Forster and Colin Salmon all aboard.

London Has Fallen will fall on October 2.
