New Trailer for 'Felony' Written by and Starring Joel Edgerton

Joel Edgerton is proving to be quite a force behind the camera as part of the production collective at Blue-Tongue Films, made up fellow Aussies David Michod (Animal Kingdom), Nash Edgerton, Spencer Susser (Hesher), and Kieran Darcy-Smith (Wish You Were Here). The latest film from the group sees Edgerton starring in Felony, a crime film which he penned the screenplay for Matthew Saville (Noise) to direct.

A new international trailer for the film has been released and it looks like a gritty, if somewhat familiar cop movie about loyalty and responsibility. Edgerton is joined by Tom Wilkinson, Melissa George, and Jai Courtney in a rare dramatic turn, with the story centering on three detectives dealing with the aftermath of a terrible accident that has left a child near death.  While Edgerton and Wilkinson seem to be as solid as ever, the real surprise may be Courtney who has rarely been given an opportunity outside of action franchises.

Felony has yet to gain a release date but should arrive later this year. Edgerton most recently co-wrote the script to David Michod's The Rover, in theaters now.

Sam Rockwell and Anna Kendrick Join 'Mr. Right'; Melissa George Leads 'The Insect King'

* Sam Rockwell and Anna Kendrick together in a film penned by Chronicle screenwriter Max Landis? Yes, please. The duo will star in Mr. Right, directed by Paco Cabezas (Tokarev) and following "a woman whose bad luck streak at finding lasting love seems to end when she meets Mr. Right. That’s until she discovers he is a reformed hit man. When his dark past catches up, their fledgling relationship is tested as they try to save one another." This sounds like something that would have starred David Duchovny and Tea Leoni like a decade ago, but maybe there's more to it than the logline suggests. [Deadline]

* The lovely Melissa George (30 Days of Night, The Good Wife) will star in The Insect King, and no it's not as horrific as it sounds. The coming-of-age drama written and directed by Priscilla Cameron follows a 13-year-old boy in competition with his father for the affection of an exotic 40-year-old woman. Taika Waititi (Eagle vs. Shark) and Sophie Lowe (Adore) co-star. [Deadline]

Another Amityville Horror?? But...but...why??

What's this trend of remaking movies that just got remade like last week? Bloodydisgusting is reporting that The Weinstein Co. is aleady looking to remake The Amityville Horror...even though it was just remade back in 2005. Remember? With Ryan Reynolds and the lovely Melissa George? God that movie was terrible. But it grossed north of $100M, so somebody must've dug it. Rumors are a director is already on board, but no details are immediately available. I fail to see the point in this, but I'm guessing after the success of Paranormal Activity studios are trying to ratchet up their psychological horror projects.
