Teresa Palmeer May Join 'Point Break'; Anna Kendrick Voicing 'Trolls'; Sienna Miller Joins 'Chef'



* Teresa Palmer, last seen getting wooed by a zombie in Warm Bodies, is in talks for the Point Break remake which stars Edgar Ramirez, Luke Bracey, and Ray Winstone. She would take the female lead in the redo of Kathryn Bigelow's 1991 film that Ericson Core will direct. Bracey plays an FBI agent who must infiltrate the world of extreme sports to root out a criminal organization. Palmer is currently filming John Hillcoat's star-studded crime drama, Triple Nine.

* The vocally-gifted Anna Kendrick may be filming Pitch Perfect 2 right now, but when that's wrapped up she'll put her singing voice back on display in Dreamworks Animation's Trolls. Directed by Mike Mitchell (Shrek Forever After) and based on the colorful toy dolls with the wild hair, the animated film will open November 4th 2016 with Kendrick as Poppy, a “relentlessly upbeat princess".

*  Remember awhile back when there was a brief dispute over the use of the title Chef? Jon Favreau's film under that name is currently in theaters and performing quite well, and now Bradley Cooper's Chef has just added Sienna Miller to the cast. Miller, who just worked with Cooper on Clint Eastwood's American Sniper, will take an undisclosed role in the film directed by John Wells (August: Osage County) from a Steven Knight (Locke) script. Cooper will play a prominent Paris chef who loses everything and tries to restart his culinary career at a new restaurant in London. Omar Sy (The Intouchables) co-stars.
