LUKE EVANS AS VILLAIN IN "FAST & THE FURIOUS 6"? "ANOMALY" SF EPIC! ELIJAH WOOD IN "GRAND PIANO"! VIN DIESEL'S "RIDDICK" TO HAVE "UNDERVERSE" & "FURYA" SF SEQUELS

Here's a great piece of news for all of you action flick fans: you know that one of the most successful action franchises FAST AND THE FURIOUS is getting its sixth instalment, and now, according

to "Collider", our favourite Welsh star, ultra talented and super charismatic Luke Evans, has been offered the role of the lead villain, the same one which Jason Statham opted not to take recently. If Luke accepts the role he will have to fight against Dwayne Johnson and Vin Diesel in the upcoming film. The movie, which should start shooting in Europe this June, would give him an unusual opportunity to play a bad guy, since Luke has always portrayed the roles of heroes, charmers and gods so far, from playing Apollo in CLASH OF THE TITANS, to playing Zeus in IMMORTALS, to playing Aramis in THE THREE MUSKETEERS, and to playing a good detective in THE RAVEN. He is currently shooting THE HOBBIT over at New Zealand. In Peter Jackson's fantasy saga, Luke again plays a good guy and possibly the biggest hero of the story, Bard, leader of men!

HOLLYWOOD SPY HEADLINES

Similar to most LORD OF THE RINGS stars, Elijah Wood hasn't had much success after the famous epic,but now he has a new project:

"The Hollywood Reporter" writes today that he will star in GRAND PIANO, as a concert pianist  who returns after a five-year break from performing. However, when he sits down at the piano, he sees a menacing note on his sheet music. He must give the performance of a lifetime or else a mysterious madman will kill him and his wife. The project was described as "Speed" at a piano. Meanwhile, Vin Diesel has revealed that Universal might release his sf epic RIDDICK as early as next January and that they are also interested in producing two more instalments in the famous saga about the brave galactic warrior which will be titled UNDERVERSE and FURYA!

Here's an interesting sf project: according to "MovieWeb" graphic novel ANOMALY written by a Hollywood lawyer Skip Brittenham (whose clients include Harrison Ford, Eddie Murphy, Harvey Weinstein), will be adapted into a sf movie. The complex, 370 pages

graphic novel (already proclaimed the biggest colour graphic novel ever, a mix of LOTR and STAR WARS) to be published in October, takes place in the year 2717, where humans have colonized the whole galaxy and a giant conglomerate mines alien planets for natural resources. The plot

centres on a group of explorers who are drawn into a massive conflict on a new planet. The authors consulted professors of religion, science, and philosophy to make this world as accurate as possible. The film will be produced by ALICE IN WONDERLAND's Joe Roth!
