Demian Bichir, Lily Collins, and Eva Longoria Join Untitled Lowrider Film

Oscar-nominee Demian Bichir (A Better Life), Golden Globe nominee Eva Longoria (Desperate Housewives), and...really sweet gal Lily Collins (Mirror Mirror) are set to star in an untitled lowrider film which has been in the works for about four years.

Directed by Brazilian filmmaker Ricardo de Montreuil (Mancora) with the most recent script by Josh Bierne-Gordon and Justin Tipping , the story is set in East L.A. and centers on a man who takes part in an annual lowrider event. He has two sons, both on opposing sides of the law, who are about to compete in the event as well. Bichir is currently working on his directorial debut which also features Longoria, while Collins just finished up on Warren Beatty's Howard Hughes film.

Sounds interesting, but does anybody want to see a movie about lowrider cars?

Trailer Time: 'For Greater Glory', starring Andy Garcia and Eva Longoria

Dean Wright has been behind the visual effects for a few films you might have heard of, including Peter Jackson's The Lord of the Rings trilogy, The Chronicles of Narnia, M. Night Shyamalan's Unbreakable. He's doing something a little different for his writing and directorial debut, however, taking on the Mexican Cristero War with For Greater Glory(aka Cristiada).

Wright has pulled together a strong cast for the historical epic, with Andy Garcia playing the reluctant General Gorostieta, who comes out of retirement to lead a rebellion against the anticlerical government in power.  Eva Longoria is his wife, with Catalina Sandino Moreno(Maria Full of Grace), Peter O'Toole, Oscar Isaac, Bruce Greenwood, Ruben Blades, and Nestor Carbonell.

The Crisero War is actually very interesting, and I'm curious to see how Blades plays President Calles, an atheist who enacted the anti-Catholic laws which led to the uprising. Overall the film looks good, but has a score and bad voice over that gives it the impression of a made-for-TV movie. 

For Greater Glory opens on June 1st, but you can check out the first trailer below....[Comingsoon]

Nathan Filion, Eva Longoria in The Avengers?

Comicbookmovie.com is reporting that Marvel Studios may have already filled two of the key roles in their upcoming superhero team-up flick, The Avengers. They're reporting that Nathan Fillion(Waittress, Serenity) has entered final talks to play Hank "Ant-Man" Pym, while Eva Longoria(Desperate Housewives) will play his future wife Janet Van Dyne, known as The Wasp.

Consider this all rumor for now. If it all pans out they'll be joining Robert Downey Jr. as the only confirmed actor for the Joss Whedon directed film.

Fillion is just geeky enough to get the Hank Pym character just right. The surprise is Longoria, who is the last person I expected to see involved. Dammit what happened to Oliva Munn? I'd much rather have her, bad acting and all.
