Andrea Riseborough and Olga Kurylenko have been cast alongside Tom Cruise in the science-fiction film formerly titled Oblivion (and Horizons). Set on post-apocalyptic Earth, Cruise plays a veteran soldier who repairs robots that will fight against an alien race that now lives on the planet.
Riseborough recently starred in W.E., a drama written and directed by Madonna, and is replacing Jessica Chastain (The Help) as the woman who lives with Cruise’s character on the uninhabitable earth. She can next be seen in Disconnect alongside Paula Patton and Alexander Skarsgard, and Welcome to the Punch with James McAvoy and Mark Strong.
Kurylenko, who will be appearing on the new Starz mob drama Magic City with Jeffrey Dean Morgan, plays a woman who crash lands on Earth and joins the soldier on his journey. She will be starring in The Expatriate with Aaron Eckhart and Liana Liberato. Magic City premieres in April.
Directed by Joseph Kosinski, the currently untitled film will be released in the summer of 2013.

Inglourious Basterds star Diane Kruger has been cast in the film adaptation of The Host, a science-fiction/romance novel by The Twilight Saga author Stephenie Meyer.
In The Host, Earth has been commandeered by Souls, a parasitic alien race that implants itself the mind and body of humans. Wanderer, a Soul who has been chosen to inhabit 20-year-old runaway Melanie Stryder, faces complications when she is unable to fully take over the young woman’s mind, and on the hunt for the last remaining humans, the two form a friendly bond.
The Seeker, played by Kruger, is an irritable soul equally loathed by Wanderer and Melanie, who behaves the way she does out of insecurities she’s unwilling to admit.
Also starring Hanna‘s Saoirse Ronan, Max Irons (Red Riding Hood), William Hurt (The Incredible Hulk) and I Am Number Four‘s Jake Abel, The Host is set for a 2013 release.

It may have been the last exorcism for fictional Reverend Cotton Marcus, but the story’s possessed protagonist is returning in the sequel to 2010′s horror hit The Last Exorcism. Ashley Bell will reprise her role as the angelic Nell Sweetzer, possessed by the same demon that haunted her in the original.
Taking over in the role of director is Ed Gass-Donnelly with a screenplay by Damien Chazelle. Returning to producing duties is horror icon Eli Roth, excited to continue the demonic tale. “Obviously with the title of the first one we had not planned on a sequel, but we love the story and subject matter and had what we feel is an inspired idea to continue it. As you can see from other recent films, fans around the world are fascinated by this subject matter, and we want to go deeper and darker this time. The first film worked great as a PG-13 psychological film, but now we want to go R-rated and show the true horror of what this subject matter offers. The biggest creative challenge will be coming up with the right title,” shares Roth.
Scheduled to film next month in New Orleans, the film is looking for a late 2012 release date.

On January 26, at 5pm in Shreveport, filmmaker Gregory Kallenberg announces his new film fund contest, the La. Film Prize Contest and Film Festival. The Haynesville creator will announce the contest at a press conference immediately preceding the “The Last Martini,” a film industry celebration held from 6pm to 8pm at the Robinson Film Center.
Kallenberg, an Austin-based filmmaker, has created the contest to allow one lucky filmmaker to receive the largest prize of its kind. This short-film contest invites filmmakers from all over the world to present their short films while allowing them to be critiqued by a panel of professionals. The winner will receive a grand prize of $50,000.
The filmmakers will be allotted five months, from February 1 to July 9, to produce their film, but there is one condition – the film must be shot in Shreveport-Bossier. Each filmmaker will be able to utilize an ambassador, a team of volunteers, resources and aids to assist them with production, housing, promotional events and any other needs they may have during their stay in the city.
The top twenty films in the contest will be promoted and screened during the La. Film Prize Festival weekend, Oct. 12-14. Because these selected finalists will be judged by their audience (as well as the panel of experts) they are encouraged to heavily promote their project beforehand and invite their friends, family and peers to come out and show them support.
Alongside the existing efforts of organizations like Moonbot Studios, Gorilla Design Studio, CoHabitat, Robinson Film Center and artspace, Kallenberg hopes the La. Film Prize Contest and Film Festival will enhance the Shreveport-Bossier area’s creative potential while also creating a national brand for the city.
