BOB MARLEY: ONE LOVE Featurette

Julia Roberts Joins The Secret In Their Eyes

Gwyneth Paltrow and Chiwetel Ejiofor are already aboard The Secret In Their Eyes, Billy Ray's remake of the Oscar-winning 2009 Argentinian thriller. They now look set to be joined by Julia Roberts, for whom Ray specifically rewrote his screenplay.

Juan Jose Campanella's original film had two male leads to one female, but after Roberts expressed an interest, Ray headed back to his keyboard to accommodate her. It makes for a refreshingly different dynamic at the top of the film, which will already be much changed from its progenitor.

Ray's other major task has been to find a way to adapt Campanella's work for a more US or internationally-flavoured story: finding something that can parallel the focus on Argentina’s military junta and its overtones of corruption.

What we know so far is that Ejiofor plays a former MI-5 agent haunted by an unsolved murder. Returning to Boston as part of a joint task force with the FBI, he uncovers a terrifying truth that changes everything about the past events he can’t let go. There’s no word yet on how Paltrow and Roberts' roles will shake out, but pre-production is currently underway for an imminent Boston shoot.

Naked Gun Reboot On It's Way

If you've seen Naked Gun - or The Naked Gun: From The Files Of Police Squad ! to give its full title - you'll know that it's a comedic masterpiece that springboards off astonishing levels of silliness and random spoofery. Leslie Nielsen's Frank Drebin is a loveable buffoon for the ages, even when he's discussing his dicky prostrate. Do not, however, expect the Ed Helms -starring reboot to adopt exactly the same tack. According to Naked Gun director/co-writer David Zucker, talking up Airplane!'s screening at Nashville's Wild West Comedy Festival, the new version will not attempt to hit the same spoofy sweet spot as the Zuckers and Jim Abrahams' 1988 comedy. "It won’t be like the Naked Gun that I did," Zucker revealed. "It may be good, but it won’t be that kind of movie. They’re going to use the title. They asked me if I wanted to produce. They’re nice people, but they don’t want to do that style of spoof that I do." One departure...
