Check out this great review of the movie Inside Out, by our cutest Joey nominee, Audrey Wise Alvarez!!

Nathan Ellison will be playing a role in the feature film, “Colossal“!!

Anne Hathaway is set to star in this project, which is sure to be one of the biggest curiosity factors at this year’s Cannes film market. Nacho Vigalondo (Timecrimes) is writing and directing for Voltage Pictures.

In the movie — described as Transformers versus Adaptation and Godzilla meets Being John Malkovich; Hathaway will play Gloria, an ordinary woman who, after losing her job and her fiancé, decides to leave her life in New York to move back to her hometown.

But when news reports surface that a giant lizard is destroying the city of Tokyo, Gloria gradually comes to realize that she is strangely connected to these far-off events via the power of her mind. In order to prevent further destruction, Gloria needs to determine why her seemingly insignificant existence has such a colossal effect on the fate of the world.

Tuesday Hofmann and Ava Frye book on Arrow!! (episodes #409 & #410).

The series takes a realistic look at the Green Arrow character, as well as other characters from the DC Comics universe. Although Oliver Queen/Green Arrow had been featured in the television series Smallville from 2006 to 2011, the producers decided to start clean and find a new actor (Amell) to portray the character. Arrow focuses on the humanity of Oliver Queen, and how he was changed by time spent shipwrecked on an island. Most episodes have flashback scenes to the five years in which Oliver was missing.

Tori Katongo books a role on “Un-Break my Heart”

Lifetime’s “Un-Break My Heart,” is an original movie based on singer Toni Braxton’s memoirs. The authorized film will follow Braxton’s ups and downs through severe chronic illness, financial troubles and divorce, while navigating her son’s autism and family struggles. Braxton will executive produce and appear in the film. “Un-Break My Heart” will also be executive produced by Craig Baumgarten, Erik Kritzer and Marcus Grant, and hails from Link Entertainment. The script was penned by Susan McMartin, with Vondie Curtis-Hall set to direct.

Debbi Morgan (“Power,” “All My Children”) will play Braxton’s mother, Evelyn, while Gavin Houston (“Guiding Light”) will play her frequent collaborator, producer Kenneth “Babyface” Edmonds. Cortney Scott Wright, Skye P. Marshall (“Public Morals”) and LaToya Franklyn (“Subways”) have also been cast as Braxton’s sisters and fellow singers, Traci, Towanda and Trina Braxton. It was previously announced that Tiffany Hines (“Devious Maids”) would play Braxton’s other sister, singer Tamar Braxton, and that Lex Scott Davis would play Braxton herself.

Lyle Reginald gets a role on “Besties“, AKA “Untitled Kelly Fremon Craig“.

STX Entertainment continues to build up its development slate, adding a coming-of-age drama in the vein of a John Hughes film.
