Rose Leslie Joins 'The Last Witch Hunter'; Gary Oldman is a 'Criminal'; Douglas Smith Commits 'Evan's Crime'



* No longer needed in Westeros, Rose Leslie is going from Game of Thrones to joining Vin Diesel in The Last Witch Hunter. In the works forever, the film is finally gearing up for an August shoot with Breck Eisner at the helm. Leslie will play a female witch who joins with her enemy, a witch hunter (Diesel), to stop an evil witch queen from finding an ancient relic and unleashing holy heck on humanity. [THR]

* Gary Oldman is joining Kevin Costner in Criminal, a crime thriller from Ariel Vroman (The Iceman) with a premise that could be amazing if pulled off successfully. The script by Douglas Cook and David Weisberg has dangerous prison inmate implanted with the memories and skills of a dead CIA agent so he can stop a diabolical plot. Oldman can be seen now trying to give Caesar the slip in Dawn of the Planet of the Apes.  [THR]

* Having just landed a role in the Terminator reboot, rising star Douglas Smith is going small for his next film. He'll star in Evan's Crime, an indie about "a college kid who lands a seven-year prison sentence after a minor drug bust, which in turn leads him down a path of vengeance against the power-hungry prosecutor who put him behind bars." David Arquette co-stars with Sandy Tung writing and directing.
