Justin Long and Emmy Rossum Orbit a Love Story in the 'Comet' Trailer

Somebody out there must really love Justin Long because suddenly he's all over the place. While he's no longer trapped in the walrus suit of Kevin Smith's Tusk, he's also got the crime flick The Lookalike on the way. Tusk wasn't in theaters more than a few days and The Lookalike probably won't do much better. However there has been a groundswell of buzz building for Comet, a love story that has Long romancing Emmy Rossum.

Directed by Sam Esmail, the story centers on Dell (Long) and Kimberly (Rossum) as their six-year relationship goes through numerous ups and downs. The catch is that their story isn't necessarily told with a firm footing in reality, rather in non-linear surreal fashion. The new trailer doesn't give away much (rare for trailers nowadays) but this already looks like a cut above some of Long's other romance films which have been pretty bland for the most part.

Comet hits theaters on December 5th.

Trailer for 'Before I Disappear' starring Emmy Rossum and Ron Perlman

Unless you're someone who pays extremely close attention during the Academy Awards, you may not know the name Shawn Christensen. Last year he won an Oscar for Best Live-Action Short for his film, Curfew, which he then went and expanded into the feature, Before I Disappear. And it turned out to be a smart move as it won him an Audience Award at SXSW, and now as it gears up for release next month the first trailer has arrived.

Starring Emmy Rossum, Ron Perlman, Fatima Ptacek (the voice of Dora the Explorer), Paul Wesley, and Christensen himself, the story follows Richie, who at the lowest point in his life is asked to spend the day in New York City with his 11-year-old niece. Despite the high praise heaped on it, to me this looks like the kind of film designed to please festival audiences, but may not work elsewhere. There certainly hasn't been a lot of buzz around it.  I could be wrong, though. Before I Disappear opens November 28th in theaters and VOD.

Jay-Z and Beyonce's Crazy Star-Studded Trailer 'Run' with Sean Penn, Jake Gyllenhall, Rashida Jones and More

It must be pretty God damned good to be Jay-Z and Beyonce. You can go from that whole elevator ass-whuppin' thing with Solange Knowles (I forgot she even existed before then so good on her for the reminder) and totally flip the news cycle in another direction by droppin' a crazy ass short film trailer. Dialing up all their friends from Sean Penn, Don Cheadle, Guillermo Díaz, Emmy Rossum, Jake Gyllenhaal, Blake Lively, and Rashida Jones, the film is titled Run and directed by Melina Matsoukas. It's basically a high-octane gangsta "Bonnie & Clyde" thing but it looks like the kind of film made by people trying way too hard. And maybe it's because the film is "coming never" but I'm not quite sure what the purpose was other than as a big "Fuck you look at us and all our awesome celebrity friends" middle finger to the rest of the world. Blergh. Okay, I get that it's for their upcoming tour but to that I say "double blergh".

And hey, if you thought Blake Lively couldn't act before, wait til you see what she can do in a film that doesn't even really exist.

Doctor Doom May Switch Genders in 'Fantastic Four'; Kate Mara, Emmy Rossum Testing for Sue Storm

 We spoke to Miles Teller a couple of weeks ago at the Sundance Film Festival where he was promoting his new film, Whiplash, and he told us that casting decisions on the Fantastic Four reboot should be coming up soon. Looks like he wasn't far off as THR reports screen testing is underway now with a few more names added to the list of contenders, plus a couple that never made the cut.

Kate Mara and Emmy Rossum are said to have read for the role of the Invisible Woman, Sue Storm, with Elizabeth Olsen and Saoirse Ronan apparently out of the picture. Mara has been rumored previously, along with Girls star Allison Williams. Miles Teller has also tested for the role of team leader, Reed Richards, and appears to be the frontrunner with Kit Harington moving on to star in Testament of Youth. Meanwhile, Christian Cook (Romeo & Juliet) is in contention to play the ever lovin' blue-eyed Thing, Ben Grimm, but there's no mention of the previously-rumored Josh Gad.

Meanwhile, THR says that Michael B. Jordan is indeed locked in to play the Human Torch, exercising the option they had on him after starring in Chronicle for Josh Trank. But the most intriguing idea the story pushes is that Doctor Doom, the expected villain of the film, may be played by a female as the studio searches for a big name to take on the part. If they thought people were upset over an African-American Johnny Storm, wait until they propose a female Doctor Doom.

More auditions are expected over the coming days. Fantastic Four is expected to open March 6th 2015.

Josh Duhamel joins Hilary Swank and Emmy Rossum in 'You're Not You'

Josh Duhamel may not be returning for the next Transformers film after featuring in the previous three, but he's still a star who is steadily on the rise. The Las Vegas actor has the sappy Nicolas Sparks adaptation, Safe Haven, coming up next which will be a pretty good test for his leading man cred. And now he'll give his dramatic chops another push by joining Hilary Swank and Emmy Rossum in an adaptation of Michelle Wildgen's novel, You're Not You.

Directed by George C. Wolfe, the story follows a self-absorbed college student(Rossum) who sees her life turned around when she takes a job as caretaker of a woman(Swank) stricken with ALS. Duhamel's role is unclear at this point, but given that he's...well, Josh Duhamel, I'm going to assume he's a love interest of some sort.

Duhamel will be seen next in the outrageous ensemble comedy, Movie 43.[THR]

Sure Shots: Emmy Rossum; Nikolaj Coster-Waldau; Tye Sheridan

* Emmy Rossum, who looks mean, sexy, and nasty in the upcoming adaptation of Beautiful Creatures, is venturing into more grounded, sobering territory for her next film. The Shameless star will join Hilary Swank in You're Not You, which we learned about late last month. Directed by George C. Wolfe and based on the novel by Michelle Wildgen, the story follows a self-absorbed college student(Rossum) who sees her life changed when she takes a part-time job as caretaker to a woman(Swank) stricken with ALS. [THR]

* Game of Thrones continues to be a fertile proving ground for future leading men, as Nikolas Coster-Waldau has lined up another indie flick, joining Juliette Binoche in A Thousand Times Good Night. Based in part on the wartime experiences of co-writer/director Erik Poppe(Hawaii, Oslo), Binoche will play a war photographer torn between her job and family. Waldau was excellent n the recent Norwegian crime-thriller Headhunters(review here), and will be seen next opposite Jessica Chastain in Mama.  [Variety]

* If you're young actor Tye Sheridan, it must be pretty awesome to know that the last three directors you've worked with are Terrence Malick(The Tree of Life), Jeff Nichols(Mud), and now David Gordon Green(George Washington). Sheridan has joined Green's southern drama, Joe, which has Nicolas Cage attached to star as an ex-con who becomes a role model to the 15-year old son of a homeless family with a drunken father.
