Sarandon joins The Company You Keep


Susan Sarandon has signed on to star in the new Robert Redford film The Company You Keep.

Sarandon isn’t the only new casting for the Redford flick as Richard Jenkins and Julie Christie have also agreed to take part in the new feature.
The director and star has also signed up a whole new host of fresh talent to join the experienced movie stars on the film as well.
The film has been adapted from a Neil Gordon novel. The picture will see a former member of the militant organisation Weather Underground, who has been hiding from the FBI for 30 years, forced to go on the run after his identity is exposed by a young reporter, played by Shia LeBeouf.
Sarandon will be playing a former Weather Underground type along with Christie, who are noticed after Redford’s character has been exposed. Jenkins will be playing a college with links to the radicals.
The film, which also stars Nick Nolte and Brit Marling will begin shooting next month.



Snipes interested in Blade 4


Wesley Snipes has announced that he would be interested in staring in a fourth instalment of the Blade franchise.

The star, who is currently serving three years in prison for failure to file tax income returns told IGN, "Getting asked this question all the time, my response is: 'Under the right circumstances, with the right team, yes, I'd do another one.' But don't get me wrong, I'm not waiting around for the opportunity. I've got plenty to do."
Although he said there were no current plans to resurrect the franchise, he did say there were ideas for the half human/half vampire character, "It would be nice to fulfill some of the really cool plans we had for Blade, but didn't get the chance to go live with.”
A new Blade film would be interesting, but since Snipes is going to be held up behind bars until July 2013, it looks as though we may be waiting a while for this one.
