Sure Shots: Stanley Tucci; Zooey Deschanel; 'The Master'

* Beating out big names like Tom Hanks and George Clooney, who are up for literally every role under the sun, Stanley Tucci has won the lead role opposite Emma Watson in Your Voice in My Head. The first post-Harry Potter film by director David Yates, the film is an adaptation of Emma Forrest's memoir about her relationship with the psychologist(Tucci) she credits with saving her life. There's a lot that happens between them, and the material is going to provide Watson her strongest chance to prove her dramatic chops. Forrest will adapt the script herself, with filming set to begin this summer. In the meantime, you need to get out and check out Tucci's pearly whites as Caesar Flickerman in The Hunger Games.

* First revealed back in January, we're finally starting to learn more on Richard Curtis's upcoming sci-fi comedy, About Time, which he will direct and adapt based on his own original script.  Variety reports that Zooey Deschanel, currently knockin' them dead in the Fox sitcom, New Girl, is in talks to star in an unspecified role. Joining her may be Domnhall Gleeson, Brendan Gleeson's son who has forged his own career path by appearing in films like the Harry Potter series(as Bill Weasley), Never Let Me Go, and True Grit. Curtis is still best known for writing and directing Love Actually, but he's been relatively quiet since 2009. He recently co-wrote War Horse script for Steven Spielberg, and also directed an episode of Dr. Who. Curtis may have been getting his feet wet considering About Time is said to center on time travel.

* Five years since Paul Thomas Anderson brought us the epic There Will Be Blood, and the wait for his next film is finally coming to an end. Stamp October 12th as the official release date for The Master, Anderson's religiously themed film that started out as a story based on the origins of Scientology, but "evolved" as controversy started to build. Philip Seymour Hoffman stars as Lancaster Dodd, a charismatic man who begins a faith-based organization that starts to catch fire in the wake of WWII. Joaquin Phoenix is Freddie Sutton, Dodd's right hand man who begins to question his mentor's motives. Amy Adams, Laura Dern, Ambyr Childers, Jesse Plemons, Madisen Beaty, Lena Endre, and Rami Malek co-star.
