* Caleb Landry Jones(X-men: First Class) will take on the lead role in Queen and Country, the sequel to John Boorman's semi-autobiographical 1987 film, Hope and Glory. The first movie followed 9-year old Bill Rowan, showing the London Blitzkrieg from his youthful perspective. Jones will play an older Rowan, and it appears he and Boorman have struck up something of a friendship. Boorman also has Jones set to star in his upcoming sci-fi film, Broken Dream. Queen and Country would likely film first, with Boorman directing, producing, and penning the script. [Variety]
* Things didn't turn out so well for Joan Allen's Pamela Landy character in The Bourne Legacy, so it's a wonder if she'll appear in anymore sequels. I hope so because more of Allen is always a great thing, and she still should have beat Julia Roberts for Best Actress in 2000. Yeah, that's right. Anyway, she's won a leading role in A Good Marriage, based on a short story by Stephen King who also adapted the screenplay. Directed by Peter Askin(Trumbo), the story follows a wife who learns a terrible secret about her husband of 20 years after stumbling upon a box under the worktable in their garage. [THR]
* Britt Robertson(Scream 4) has joined Vince Vaughn, Cobie Smulders, and Chris Pratt in the American remake of the Canadian comedy hit, Starbuck. Ken Scott, who wrote and directed the original film, is tackling this version as well which features Vaughn as a well-meaning adult slacker who discovers that the sperm he donated as a youth has produced over 500 grown children. Robertson will play Kristen, one of his many daughters seeking to connect with the father she never knew. [Deadline]
