* Liev Schreiber appears to have swept the lead role in Brad Anderson's upcoming film, Jack, away from John Cusack. He's been offered the part of an amnesiac killer, experiencing resurfacing memories just as he's fallen in love with a doctor. Samuel L. Jackson is on board for an unspecified role, as well. Brad Anderson's most recent film was in my top 10 of 2008, the mystery/thriller on a train, Transsiberian
.
. * Noomi Rapace, who has captivated audiences as Lisbeth Salander in the Millennium trilogy of flicks, is all over the place. Not only is she set for the Sherlock Holmes
sequel, but she's also been in talks for Ridley Scott's Alien
prequel. But she's also got work back in her native Sweden, as she'll be taking on the role of cabaret singer Anita Lindblom, wife of Swedish boxing legend Bo Hogberg in a biopic on his life. The interesting note? Hogberg will be portrayed by Noomi's recent ex-husband, Ola Rapace. She's on the market, ya'll! * Somebody out there wants yet another Texas Chainsaw Massacre
flick, and that guy certainly isn't me. But since Twisted Pictures is dead set on giving us another one, might as well report on the goings on. This latest news probably won't inspire too many of Leatherface's fans, but Adam Marcus and Debra Sullivan have been brought on to script the upcoming horror. If the name Adam Marcus sounds vaguely familiar, it's because he directed the ultra crappy Jason Goes to Hell 
back in 1993. God I'm old.
