It’s taken almost twenty years to finally reunite Jim Carrey and Jeff Daniels for another round of hijinks involving their hilarious creations Lloyd Christmas and Harry Dunne. The Farrelly Brothers have been off the comedic boil for quite sometime and are in desperate need of a hit. Here’s hoping the long-in-development DUMB & DUMBER TO can see them recapture some of the magic from the 1994 quotable comedy classic. We’re hearing the stunning Frank Darabont favourite Laurie Holden (THE WALKING DEAD, THE MIST, THE MAJESTIC) is taking the female lead in the film also co-starring Kathleen Turner, as well as the returning Brady Bluhm and Cam Neely.
With the recent confirmation that Julianne Moore is now officially onboard as the character of Alma Coin in split final chapter MOCKINGJAY PART 1 and 2, we’ve more casting news on the survival thriller franchise THE HUNGER GAMES. Lily Rabe has joined the cast of the film as Commander Lyme and is best know for hit horror series AMERICAN HORROR STORY. Francis Lawrence will guide the remainder of the franchise after the opener’s Gary Ross. The first of the concluding chapter of Suzanne Collins’ novel is slated for cinemas 21st November 2014, with the final film arriving 20th November 2015. Of course, we’ll first see the return if Katniss and co when CATCHING FIRE sets cinemas alight in November.

Craig was our great north east correspondent, proving that it’s so ‘grim up north’ that losing yourself in a world of film is a foregone prerequisite. He has been studying the best (and often worst) of both classic and modern cinema at the University of Life for as long as he can remember. Craig’s favorite films include THE SHAWSHANK REDEMPTION, JFK, GOODFELLAS, SCARFACE, and most of John Carpenter’s early work, particularly THE THING and HALLOWEEN.
