Matthew Goode Could Replace Colin Firth In Stoker

ShowBlitz reports that Matthew Goode (Watchmen) is talks to replace Colin Firth in the vampire film Stoker. Firth had left the project which is the first English film for Korean director Chan-wook Park (Oldboy, Thirst). Mia Wasikowska is set in the lead with Nicole Kidman in talks for the role of her mother.

Colin Firth & Nicole Kidman Could Join Chan Wook-Park's Stoker

LATimes reports that both Colin Firth and Nicole Kidman are in talks to join Chan Wook-Park's (Oldboy) Stoker. Park's first English film already has Mia Wasikowska in the lead. The film setup at Fox Searchlight is being produced by Ridley and Tony Scott's Scott Free from a script by actor Wentworth Miller. Stoker tells of a girl and her mother who are visited by a mysterious uncle after the girl's father dies. Kidman would play the mother and Firth the uncle. There has been talk of vampires being involved with the film as well as a new take on the Dracula lore.

Cage & Kidman To Star In Trespass

Variety reports that Nu Image/Millennium Films has tapped Joel Schumacher to direct Trespass which has Nicolas Cage and Nicole Kidman attached. The action/adventure film would find the duo playing "a husband and wife taken hostage by four brutal perpetrators seeking easy cash. Complications ensue amid the unexpected discovery of betrayal and deception." I've enjoyed "most" of Schumcher's previous films which include Falling Down, The Lost Boys, Flatliners, Time To Kill, The Client and 8mm. So I'm hopeful this will be a return to true form as his last couple of films haven't done well.
