Emma Watson Wants To Sail With Noah She's in talks to play Ila

Like a rising tide of thesping, the flow of casting announcements for Darren Aronofsky’s Noah is increasing each day. The latest performer haggling for a ticket to ride the boat is Emma Watson.

With Russell Crowe long set to play the title role, word arrived earlier this week that Percy Jackson’s Logan Lerman and Great Expectations’ Douglas Booth were signing on to play Noah’s sons, Ham and Shem.

Deadline reports that if she signs a deal, Watson will be Ila, a young woman who starts a relationship with Shem. And talking of casting, there still appears to be no confirmation yet on whether Jennifer Connelly will play Noah’s wife. Variety has heard that Julianne Moore is also in conention for that role, while Liev Schreiber might be the man to play the nemesis for our boat-building hero. Sadly, that probably doesn't mean he'll be an officious sort down at Ancient B&Q who refuses to give Noah a good deal on lumber.

With a script by Aronofsky and Hugo writer John Logan, Noah is scheduled to start shooting in New York and Iceland at the start of August.

Watson has been a busy woman of late. She’ll appear alongside Lerman in The Perks Of Being A Wallflower (which is still awaiting a UK release date) and has recently shot The Bling Ring. Right now, she’s working on The End Of The World with Seth Rogen, Jay Baruchel and a bucket load of cameos.

Schwarzenegger May Re-Enter The Tomb Could he join Sly Stallone?

As he looks to re-ignite his film career in the wake of his gubernatorial stint and last year’s scandal-filled revelations, Arnold Schwarzenegger seems keen to keep working with old chum Sylvester Stallone, as Ain’t It Cool News is reporting that he’s been approached to co-star with Sly in The Tomb.

It emerged back in October that Sly would take on the lead role of Ray Breslin, the designer behind a maximum-security prison that is said to be thoroughly escape-proof. But guess what? He’s framed for a crime and locked away in that very slammer. Naturally, he must then essentially outwit himself to get out and find the person responsible…

Arnie is no stranger to the film, having been up for the lead earlier last year when Antoine Fuqua was set to direct. And before that, Bruce Willis was the man circling the lead.

From the sounds of it, The Tomb has been passed around more than the package in a pass-the-parcel game, but now Deadline is reporting that Sly is locked and Mikael Håfström, who made last year’s exorcism thriller The Rite, is the latest director looking to call the shots.

Sly and Arnie will be seen on screen together on The Expendables 2, which hits later this year.

In True James Cameron Fashion, ‘Avatar 2′ Might Already Be Delayed

Not surprisingly, your ticket to Pandora might be redeemed a little later than expected. Producer Jon Landau was recently in London screening footage from James Cameron‘s upcoming Titanic 3D and said that Avatar 2 is four years away. Originally, the sequel was annoucned to be released in December 2014 with the third film December 2015, both of which are less than four years away. Does that mean Cameron’s films have officially been delayed? Maybe. Or maybe not. Read more after the jump.

Bleeding Cool was in attendance when Landau said this and first reported the quote. We’ve contacted 20th Century Fox for comment but have yet to hear back.

There are several ways to look at this news. The most obvious is the literal one, that Avatar 2 won’t be out until 2016, four years from now. However, Landau could have also meant 2015 because, if it was released in December 2015, it would still be in theaters January 2016 which is “four years away” from right now. Either way, if that’s the case, it wouldn’t be the first time. Cameron has never been one to hold fast to a release date. Titanic was famously delayed a bunch of times and the last thing he would ever do is rush something out before it was ready and good enough.

Then again, in the heat of the moment, Landau could have simply misspoken. We’ve just begun 2012 and I know it took me several months to get used to being in 2011. Maybe it was just a slip of the tounge or a simple math problem.

Whenever Avatar 2 does come out, though, that’ll be the one to pace the third film as Cameron has stated he’ll shoot both films back to back. Last we heard, he was still writing them and several of the main actors – like Sam Worthington – were just getting around to meeting with the director to discuss specifics.

For more on what to expect in Avatar 2, check out some of our earlier coverage.

Do you think Cameron’s film will be delayed?
