RIDLEY SCOTT'S EXODUS EPIC
AARON PAUL, SIGOURNEY WEAVER, BEN KINGSLEY, JOHN TURTURRO JOIN CHRISTIAN BALE & JOEL EDGERTON
Now, I'm all up for it, but this has got to be the film with the strangest cast ever: you already know that Ridley Scott is preparing EXODUS Biblical epic in which Christian Bale is set to play Moses while Australian actor Joel Edgerton will be the Egyptian pharoah Ramses II. 'Deadline' now reports that Ben Kingsley is negotiating to portray a Hebrew scholar, while John Turturro is set to play Seti, father of the Pharoah Ramses! To make things weirder Sigourney Weaver might play Ramses’ mother Tuya, while television star Aaron Paul is in talks to play Joshua, the Hebrew slave who leads the people into the promised land after Moses.NEW SITCOM PILOTS!

DALLAS BUYERS CLUB TRAILER
MATTHEW MCCONAUGHEY, JARED LETO IN AIDS DRAMA
The first trailer has been released for medical drama movie DALLAS BUYERS CLUB starring Matthew McConaughey and Jared Leto and opening in cinemas right in the time of the preawards season this November! McConaughey plays a real-life Texas cowboy Ron Woodroof, whose free-wheeling life was overturned in 1985 when he was diagnosed as HIV-positive and given 30 days to live. These were the early days of the AIDS epidemic, and the U.S. was divided over how to combat the virus. Ron, now shunned by many of his old friends, and bereft of government-approved effective medicines, decided to take matters in his own hands, tracking down alternative treatments from all over the world by means both legal and illegal. Bypassing the establishment, the entrepreneurial Woodroof joined forces with an unlikely band of outcasts - who he once would have shunned - and established a hugely successful buyers’ club. Their shared struggle for dignity and acceptance is a unique story of the transformative power of resilience!
