    Legendary moves ahead with Warcraft; Paula Patton, Colin Farrell in the mix

    MUMBAI: Legendary Pictures and Atlas Entertainment are casting up Warcraft, the movie adaptation of the hit Blizzard video game World Of Warcraft that Duncan Jones will helm. Word has it that Paula Patton is negotiating for a lead role and that another lead has been offered to Colin Farrell. Jones is testing other actors for the major roles. Production will begin in January and Charles Leavitt has written the script.

     

    The role-playing game takes place in a medieval-like setting where players control avatars that take on gryphons, dragons, zombies, werewolves and elves. Time travel and alien worlds also are part of the mix. The project is one of Legendary’s biggest and was supposed to be made at Warner Bros. Since Thomas Tull’s financing/production company moved over to Universal Pictures, it’s expected that the film will be relocated there as well.

     

    Patton is the lead in the upcoming Fox Searchlight film Baggage Claim and is coming off the hits 2 Guns and Mission: Impossible – Ghost Protocol. Farrell stars with Tom Hanks and Emma Thompson in Disney’s upcoming Oscar-season film Saving Mr. Banks and then the Akiva Goldsman-directed adaptation of the Marc Helprin novel Winter’s Tale.

  • ‘Miami Vice: The Original Picture Soundtrack’ set to release on 25 July

    ‘Miami Vice: The Original Picture Soundtrack’ set to release on 25 July

    MUMBAI: Atlantic Records has announced the release of Miami Vice: The Original Motion Picture Soundtrack. The album arrives in stores on 25 July, followed on 28 July by the nationwide release of the Universal Pictures crime drama.

    The first single from Miami Vice: The Original Motion Picture Soundtrack will be Lava/Atlantic recording group Nonpoint’s cover of the Phil Collins classic, In The Air Tonight.

    The original version of the song, which was featured in the first episode of the original Miami Vice TV series, appeared on Collins’ breakthrough 1981 Atlantic solo debut, Face Value. Nonpoint, which is based in Florida, will perform the song at the film’s Miami premiere on 25 July.

    In addition, Miami Vice: The Original Motion Picture Soundtrack includes a wide variety of sonic styles, from electronica and soul to salsa and post-rock. Among the artists featured are India Arie, Goldfrapp, Mogwai, Nina Simone, Emilio Estefan, King Britt, and Moby, who is joined on one track by the legendary Patti LaBelle (track listing below), informs an official release.

    The album also includes selections from the film’s original score, composed by John Murphy (28 Days Later, Snatch) and Klaus Badelt (Pirates of the Caribbean: The Curse of the Black Pearl, Ultraviolet).

    Ricardo Tubbs (Academy Award winner Jamie Foxx of Ray, Jarhead) is urbane and dead smart. He lives with Bronx-born intel analyst Trudy, played by British actress Naomie Harris (28 Days Later, Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Man’s Chest), as they work undercover transporting drug loads into South Florida to identify a group responsible for three murders.

    Sonny Crockett (Colin Farrell of S.W.A.T., The New World) is charismatic and flirtatious until — while undercover working with the supplier of the South Florida group — he gets romantically entangled with Isabella, the Chinese-Cuban girlfriend of an arms and drugs trafficker. Isabella is played by the Chinese actress Gong Li (Raise the Red Lantern, Memoirs of a Geisha).

    The best undercover identity is oneself with the volume turned up and restraint unplugged. The intensity of this case pushes Crockett and Tubbs out onto the edge where identity and fabrication become blurred, where cop and player become one — especially for Crockett in his romance with Isabella and for Tubbs in the provocation of an assault on those he loves.

    Miami Vice stars Colin Farrell, Jamie Foxx, Gong Li, Naomie Harris, Ciarán Hinds, Justin Theroux, Barry Shabaka Henley and Luis Tosar, and is written and directed by Michael Mann, who also produces along with Pieter Jan Brugge; Anthony Yerkovich serves as executive producer.
