Daniel Craig Tells 'The Whole Truth'; Felicity Jones Eyes 'Rosaline'; January Jones Has a 'Good Kill'



* After being rumored for the film earlier this month, Deadline has now confirmed Daniel Craig will star in The Whole Truth, a courtroom drama from Frozen River director Courtney Hunt. Little is known about the story except that it will be written by Nicholas Kazan and that Craig will play a lawyer.

* After Hailee Steinfeld, Allison Williams, Emilia Clarke, and Lily Collins were considered to lead Rosaline, a comedic take on the Romeo & Juliet story, it now appears that Felicity Jones (Like Crazy) is the frontrunner. Directed by first-timer Alex Timbers and written by Scott Neustadter and Michael H. Weber (The Spectacular Now), the story is based on Rebecca Serles's debut novel, When You Were Mine, and tells the classic story from the perspective of Rosaline, Romeo's first love. [THR]

* Andrew Niccol has found a title and new co-star for the latest pairing with his Gattaca star, Ethan Hawke. Back in October we learned they'd be reteaming on a film centered around the military use of drones, and now we know it will be titled Good Kill, and that Mad Men star January Jones is coming aboard. Hawke plays a drone pilot with a trouble family life who begins to question the ethics of his mission. Jones will play his wife, and there are also roles for Zoe Kravitz and Jake Abel as Hawke's flight crew. Bruce Greenwood co-stars as Hawke's superior officer. [Deadline]
