* Ex-Real Worlder Jamie Chung, who will be seen later this summer in Sin City: A Dame to Kill For, will be lending her voice to Marvel's animated Big Hero 6. The Disney Animation film is based on the quirky Japanese superteam created by Scott Lobdel, and centers on robotics prodigy Hiro Hamada who, along with his powerful robot Baymax, joins an oddball team of heroes to defend the city of San Fransokyo. Chung joins the only other confirmed cast member, TJ Miller, who will be voicing Fredzilla. Big Hero 6 is set to open November 7th.
* Chace Crawford, Eliza Dushku, Brandon T. Jackson, and PJ Byrne will star in Eloise, a psychological thriller that marks the directorial debut by Academy Award-winning visual effects wiz, Robert Legato. They play four friends who break into the Eloise mental hospital "in hopes of finding a death certificate, which will provide Jacob (Crawford) with the rights to a sizable inheritance. While inside the asylum, the group not only finds that the institution houses a horrifying history but also the truth about their own tragic pasts." The script was written by Vatican Tapes scribe, Chris Borrelli. Filming begins next month at the infamous Eloise Insane Asylum, one of the largest in the world. [Deadline]
* With Mark Strong just coming aboard to play Sacha Baron Cohen's brother in Grimsby, the spy comedy now has a female lead in Annabelle Wallis. Cohen plays a British football hooligan who is forced to go on the run with his brother, a Black Ops super-spy. Wallis will play a love interest, of course. She'll also be seen, coincidentally, in The Conjuring spinoff titled Annabelle.
