Sure Shots: Seven Below; Rodrigo Santoro; Game Theory


* So who's gonna end up the bad guy out of this leathery bunch? Ving Rhames, Luke Goss(Death Race 2), Val Kilmer, and Rebecca Da Costa will star in Seven Below, a small thriller about a group of people stranded by a storm in a house where a terrible event took place. They find themselves trapped in some sort of time loop where history repeats itself. Kevin Carraway directs, based on a script he co-wrote. [Collider]

* Rodrigo Santoro(300) has joined the cast of What to Expect When You're Expecting, the star-studded adaptation of the pregnancy guidebook for chicks and dudes. He'll play the musician husband to Jennifer Lopez, and a guy who doesn't think he's ready for fatherhood. Chris Rock, Anna Kendrick, Brooklyn Decker, Cameron Diaz, and Matthew Morrison star, with Kirk Jones(Nanny McPhee) directing.

* Game theory is a social science method in which one individual's success or gain is determined by the losing actions of another. There's your lesson for today, folks. Actually the reason I brought it up is because Niels Arden Oplev, director of the original The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo, is set to step up in the Hollywood ranks by helming Game Theory. The film would follow a college professor and game theorist who finds himself embroiled in a global conflict. Michael Alan Lerner wrote the script. [Deadline]
