KIDNAPPING FREDDY HEINEKEN
SAM WORTHINGTON, ANTHONY HOPKINS, JIM STURGESS, AND RYAN  KWANTEN
Now if this ain't an uber hot male cast, I don't know what is: 'Variety' reports that three Hollywood hunks Sam Worthington, Jim Sturgess and Ryan Kwanten have joined KIDNAPPING FREDDY HEINEKEN which already has Anthony Hopkins! Based on Peter L. De Vries' bestselling book the script is focusing on the true story of Dutch beer mogul Alfred "Freddy" Heineken (Anthony Hopkins), who was kidnapped along with his driver Ab Doderer in 1983. They were both released after the ransom of a whopping 35 Dutch guilders was paid, which is the equivalent of $50 million today. The abductors were eventually caught and prosecuted. Daniel Alfredson is directing. Methinks the ladies will enjoy the hunky cast and the gents will enjoy the film with a can of Heineken!

THEORY OF EVERYTHING
 EDDIE REDMAYNE, HARRY LLOYD, EMILY WATSON, FELICITY JONES
Another guy favourite among the ladies, red headed Eddie Redmayne from LES MISERABLES is getting new company in his new project THE THEORY OF EVERYTHING in which he plays famous genius Stephen Hawking!
