A lot of us got hooked with Duncan Jones when he came out with "Moon" last year. Luckily for us, he's coming out with the sci-fi drama "Source Code" fairly sooner than we anticipated. Word has it that the official release date for the upcoming production is slated for March 11th, 2011. Along with that, the first official image from the production has popped up online. "Source Code" centers on a soldier who wakes up in the body of a commuter who witnesses a train explosion. The film stars Jake Gyllenhaal, Michelle Monaghan and Vera Farmiga. My goodness, with a cast like that and someone like Duncan Jones taking on the picture, I'm filled with excitement.Any who, take a look at the image below and hopefully we'll be getting a trailer soon since the film's due out early next year.Source: Film Source Code

Management firm Authentic has been quietly beefing up, taking new offices on Wilshire Blvd and La Brea. The firm recently added ex-Endeavor agent Craig Gartner and Framework's Howard Green. The New York office has added Dara Gordon and Joh Morris, the latter of whom heads a new Career Development Coaching division. Gartner has brought clients that include Modern Family 's Jesse Tyler Ferguson, Keesha Sharp and choreographer Danny Teeson, while Green brought Marcia Cross, Mireille Enos and Jay Karnes. Authentic is five years old and was founded by Jon Rubinstein, who just produce client Vera Farmiga's directorial debut Higher Ground . The firm also reps Peter Sarsgaard, Jeremy Piven, Michael C. Hall, Tom Hiddleston and Robert Carlyle.

Here's another pack of new images for you. Bridesmaids may sound like a boilerplate matrimonial comedy to bookend the truly awful Bride Wars, but the film is from Kristen Wiig, Paul Feig and Judd Apatow. So barring any continued sense of Apatow fatigue (that is: hopefully the movie is under two and half hours long) this one might be a lot more than the title implies. After that, we've got a pic of Jennifer Connelly and Ed Harris in What's Wrong With Virginia?, a shot of Megan Fox and Mickey Rourke (above) in Passion Play, and Keanu Reeves and Vera Farmiga in Henry's Crime, co-written by the director of Anvil! The Story of Anvil. First up is Bridesmaids, courtesy of EW, to which Kristen Wiig said, "It's more a story about friendship than a 'wedding movie,'..."There's this weird pressure in society, and in a lot of these kinds of movies, that says ...

Nick Fury, Director of S.H.I.E.L.D. I'm here to talk to you about the Casting Tidbits Initiative. First up, THR reports Terrence Howard will portray Nelson Mandela in Winnie, a biopic of the former wife of the first black president of South Africa. Being directed by veteran South African filmmaker Darrell J. Roodt (who also co-wrote the script with Andre Pieterse and Paul L. Johnson) the story's focus ranges from her image as a mother, wife and steadfast supporter of her activist husband, to campaigning for his release from jail and fight against apartheid. Winnie Mandela will be played by Jennifer Hudson in the film as well. Read on!

This year's best supporting actress Oscar nominee Vera Farmiga and her hubby, Renn Hawkey, are expecting baby No. 2, In Touch can exclusively reveal! The sexy Up in the Air star was set to play the wife of actor Gerard Butler in the upcoming film Machine Gun Preacher , but had to drop out after discovering she was with child. "She is three months pregnant and due in October," an insider tells In Touch exclusively. "The role would have meant traveling to Africa this summer, but because her baby is due in the fall, she would have been too far along to make the trip." Vera, 36, and her husband have a 1-year-old son, Finn, and the family spends most of their time living on their goat farm in upstate New York.

Two casting stories for two great actresses. First up, Deadline reports that Kirsten Dunst has landed the lead role in Lars von Trier's new film Melancholia. Dunst got the role when Penelope Cruz (first rumored in February) backed out to do Pirates of the Caribbean 4 instead. This is described as a "sci-fi disaster film" about a planet named Melancholia that "looms threateningly close to Earth." It will shoot July to September in Sweden. Charlotte Gainsbourg, Kiefer Sutherland, Alexander & Stellan Skarsgaard, and Udo Kier are also in the cast. I'm quite excited to see a sci-fi film from the very controversial von Trier. More casting below! In completely unrelated news, Variety reports that the lovely Oscar nominated Vera Farmiga (last seen in Up in the Air) is set to star in indie western called A Thousand Guns. The film has less than a $10 million budget and is about a ...

Vera Farmiga lands the lead role in indie Western film A Thousand Guns.

Nothing makes me happy in quite the same was as seeing a small, odd western come together with a top-notch cast. I've got new hope for a film called A Thousand Guns, based in part on the fact that Vera Farmiga has just signed on. The film, which is about "a preacher's wife and her journey of revenge," has a few fun-sounding elements, like a demon gun called El Rojo and a band of seemingly ninja-like assassins. And in the middle of it all, Farmiga, as a powerful missionary turned gunslinger. Variety says that Daniel Calparsoso (Guerreros) is directing from Russell Friedenberg's script. The film is set up at a new company, Prominent Pictures, with Frozen River producer Heather Rae as one of the chief officers. The trade doesn't offer a lot of info on the film, but the Iron Circle Pictures website has plenty. From there comes this text, for example, ...

Exclusives: Actress to star in indie Western for Prominent Pictures -- Vera Farmiga is set to star in indie Western "A Thousand Guns" for newly minted banner Prominent Pictures.

Oscar nominee Vera Farmiga is to make her directorial debut by turning born-again Christian Carolyn Briggs' memoir, This Dark World: A Memoir of Salvation Found and Lost, into a movie. The adaptation will be called Higher Ground.

Jake Gyllenhaal and Michelle Monaghan filmed Source Code in Chicago yesterday. Jake showed off that charming smile during his visit to SF last week where he also revealed how much fun he had shooting in Canada with costar Vera Farmiga and his excitement over being made into a Lego for Prince of Persia. Jake was covered up by a trenchcoat on set, but at least he'll fulfill our shirtless wishes when we see his bulked up physique on screen at the end of May. He's going strong against Ashton Kutcher in the PopSugar 100, and Jake has another exciting head-to-head coming up - Prince of Persia opens the same weekend as Sex and the City 2, which sounds like a great double feature to us.

Interesting tidbit of news today. Production Weekly reports (via IONCinema) that Oscar nominated actress Vera Farmiga will step behind the camera for her directorial debut on a film called Higher Ground. The project is an adaptation of Carolyn Briggs' memoir This Dark World, which is a look at the nature of faith and a story of one woman's struggle to find her place in the world. Before you shrug this off as another religious film, the story is actually about a young mother who begins to question the "religious dogma" that she has embraced all of her life - another anti-faith film to join with Paul Thomas Anderson's The Master. Farmiga will start shooting this in upstate New York in June after she finishes Duncan Jones' Source Code. She will also star in the film (not sure what role?) in addition to directing it, however it doesn't sound like she worked ...

By Jeff Sneider  

Oscar-nominated "Up in the Air" actress Vera Farmiga is set to star in and make her directorial debut with the indie film "Higher Ground," according to Production Weekly's Twitter account (@prodweek).

The film is based on Carolyn S. Brigg's memoir "This Dark World," which follows "one woman's immersion into Fundamentalist faith and her decision, twenty years later, to leave it all behind," according to Amazon's book ...

Vera Farmiga quickly broke into the big time. Her early credits came in the late '90s, and by 2004 she was working with Jonathan Demme (his Manchurian Candidate remake) and then there was The Departed. Up in the Air landed her an Oscar nomination, and she's continuing to work in movies that aren't quite mainstream: Henry's Crime, Madonna's W.E. (which sounds more intriguing with each nugget of info) and Duncan Jones' Source Code. Now she'll make her directorial debut with Higher Ground, in which she'll also star. Production Weekly's twitter feed is the original source of this info. As such, we don't have a lot of other info. The film will be based on This Dark World, a memoir by Carolyn Briggs. The script is by Briggs and Tim Metcalfe, and production is slated to begin in New York state this June. Here's the book synopsis: Carolyn Briggs grew up with modest means in ...

Seriously? Ewan McGregor is the latest actor to sign on to the upcoming Madonna-directed film W.E. McGregor will play Edward VIII who abdicated the throne in 1936 to marry American divorcee Wallis Simpson. Vera Farmiga of Up In The Air has already signed on as Wallis and Abbie Cornish will be playing a "present-day" character in [...]

Madonna is lining up some impressive talent for her sophomore directorial effort. W.E. already features Vera Farmiga and Abbie Cornish, and has now added Ewan McGregor. The film features parallel narratives. In one, McGregor will play King Edward VIII, who abdicated the throne in 1936 to marry the American woman Wallis Simpson, played by Farmiga. The other storyline features Cornish as a modern woman obsessed with Simpson, and who is having an affair with a yet to be cast man. Madonna wrote the script for W.E. with Alex Keshishian. [Screen Daily] After the break, more additions to Salvation Boulevard, Everything Must Go and The Fields. I've talked briefly about Salvation Boulevard before -- that's the indie in which "a former Deadhead-turned-born again-Christian finds himself on the run from fundamentalist members of his mega-church who will do anything to protect their larger-than-life pastor." The cast already had Pierce Brosnan, Ed Harris and Jim ...
