Daniel Radcliffe Has 'Trainwreck' Role'; Woody Harrelson and Liam Hemsworth Team for 'By Way of Helena'



* The value of keeping your camera phone handy is catching somebody like Daniel Radcliffe hanging out with Marisa Tomei on the set of Judd Apatow's upcoming comedy, Trainwreck. Apatow has come out and denied it but the pics tell the whole story, and it looks like Harry Potter will be joining the cast led by Amy Schumer and centering on a basketcase trying to get her life back together. Bill Hader, Brie Larson, John Cena, Barkhad Abdi, Ezra Miller, and Mike Birbiglia co-star with the film set for July 24th 2015.

*  Because Woody Harrelson is looking for another team-up the quality of his True Detective pairing with Matthew McConaughey, he's now joining his The Hunger Games co-star Liam Hemsworth  in the Western, By Way of Helena. Okay, so Hemsworth is no McConaughey but the movie sounds potentially strong with Aussie director Kieran Darcy-Smith (Wish You Were Here) helming the revenge picture from a Black List script by Matt Cook. Hemsworth leads as "an 1880s Texas Ranger sent to an isolated frontier town to investigate a series of mysterious murders" with Harrelson as a local preacher who holds the townspeople in a grip of fear.
