Olga Kurlenko as Head Mistress? Say no more, when’s the premiere? The Oblivion actress has joined the cast of the Vampire Academy adaptation as Kirova, the head mistress of the academy. Vampire Academy is a coming-of-age fantasy romance that tells the story of vampires in high school, adapted from a best-selling Young Adult novel series. So… Twilight ? No! Vampire Academy ! The story centers around a girl named Rose Hathaway, a half-vampire half-human called a Dhampir. She attends an Academy to learn how to properly use her abilities and take her place in the world. So… Harry Potter ? NO!!!! VAMPIRE ACADEMY! Zoey Deutch is signed on to play Rose, with Lucy Fry and Danila Kozlovski also starring. No production or release schedule has been announced.
There’s an interview with Robert Downey Jr. in Collider that’s got me thinking about the actors in Marvel’s very lucrative superhero stable. When the website’s Steve “Frosty” Weintraub asked the actor if he’s going to sign on for several more Marvel movies or take them “one at a time”, Downey responded that he wasn’t sure but then added candidly: “Let’s just say that me, the agents and the lawyers are having a bit of a ball right now.” In other words, the Iron Man 3 star realizes just how vital he is to Marvel’s plan for cinematic superhero domination, and he’s going to milk it for all its worth. And he should Sure, no actor is indispensable in the-show- will -go-on world of big-studio movie production, but I’d wager that the appeal and the box office of the Iron Man and The Avengers franchises would take a big hit should Downey ever hang up his metal suit. He sets the standard against which all other superhero performances — Christian Bale’s Bruce Wayne/ Batman included — should be judged, and Disney/Marvel should do everything it can to hold on to him. His portrayal of Tony Stark is a pitch-perfect mix of wit, swagger and emotional depth that satisfies Marvel Comics fans and moviegoers who’ve never picked up an issue of Iron Man . He also brings his previous history as a self-destructive party boy to the role, so Stark never seems less than authentic. I hope he is having a ball negotiating his next contract. The Avengers’ Best Heroes But what about the other key members of the current Marvel Universe? Here’s how I rank them in terms of their importance to the Marvel movie franchise: 1. Robert Downey Jr.: As close to indispensable as it gets. (See above.) Also, hands down, he has the coolest costume of the group. 2. Chris Evans : Although Evans is nowhere near as interesting an actor as Downey, his soulful, no-nonsense portrayal of Captain America makes him a good straight (edge) man to Tony Stark’s class clown. Also, thanks to the surprisingly well done origin movie, Captain America: The First Avenger , Evans’ character is the second-best developed member of the Avengers. Unless his standalone sequel, Captain America: The Winter Soldier tanks, he’s in a good place. By the way, I’d love to see Cap’s costume, particularly the cheesy headgear, updated. 3. Scarlett Johansson : ScarJo was reportedly offered $20 million to reprise the Black Widow in The Avengers 2 , and I hope that means she’ll get an equally rich narrative arc in the sequel. Her storyline in The Avengers left a lot to be desired, especially since Johansson has the chops to do much more with her character. (The flip side of that is she’s an ambitious actress who has much bigger career goals than playing a leather-clad superhero.) She also has such a distinct look and Ferrari-style curves that it would be a mistake to replace her. If push came to shove, I suspect the producers would just write Black Widow out of the story. The good news is that, as the first woman member of this cinematic superhero team, it’s in Marvel’s interest to keep her happy and present. That said, I’m still crossing my fingers that Lizzy Caplan gets at least a cameo in the sequel. 4. Chris Hemsworth : Thor is an example of a character where the costume overshadows the guy inside it. Hemsworth’s a fine acting, but there are so many brawny-but-emo actors who look good wearing long flowing locks and holding a giant hammer that I don’t think Hemsworth would be missed all that much if he gave up his breastplate. Then again, if Thor: The Dark World does gangbusters, he could bump Evans from the number-two spot. 5. Jeremy Renner : Hawkeye was never the most scintillating Avenger. I mean, the dude shoots arrows. But Renner has a memorable face, does smart-ass really well and is good at expressing the inner darkness that makes comic geeks, ahem, quiver with excitement. I think it also helps that his costume is not memorable. It makes the actor who wears it that much more important. The problem is that, like Black Widow, Hawkeye pretty much served as window dressing last time around, and Renner reportedly was not happy with that. His part is supposed to be more substantial in the sequel. We’ll see. 6. Mark Ruffalo : I thought Eric Bana made a better Bruce Banner, but, really, it’s all about the CGI here. It was the computer-generated Hulk that got laughs and high marks from fans in The Avengers . Hell, Carrot Top could play Banner, and I don’t think fans would raise a stink.

Zach Galifianakis looks more like Hagrid than Harry Potter in this new poster for The Hangover Part III , but you’ve got to love the references to The Deathly Hallows: Part 2 . With Ken Jeong in the Valdemort slot, the image seems to bolster reports that this final film in Todd Phillip s comedy trilogy will depart from the formula that the first two films followed. (Probably a good thing since a lot of critics felt the sequel was a carbon copy of the original.) Back in December, Phillips gave Entertainment Weekly a hint of the plot saying that Galifianakis’ character, Alan, would be the focus of the third film.”He’s going through a crisis after the death of his father, [and] the Wolfpack is all he has.” Galifianakis also told Rolling Stone that his buds, presumably Bradley Cooper, Ed Helms and Justin Bartha, break him out of a mental institution. Although Las Vegas appears to be in flames at the bottom of the poster, Phillips has said that Sin City won’t be the only location visited by the Wolf Pack. The Hangover Part III opens on May 24. A teaser trailer is expected to break tomorrow. Stay tuned. [ EW , Rolling Stone ] Follow Frank DiGiacomo on Twitter . Follow Movieline on Twitter .

The unveiling of the 2013 Sundance Film Festival line-up has begun! (Get the first wave of titles in the U.S. and World dramatic and documentary slate, plus the NEXT selections here .) Here are ten intriguing, surprising, and promising figures and filmmakers to look forward to following around Park City as their films vie among the 16 dramatic and 16 documentary films in competition this year — including a certain Twilight maven, everyone’s favorite boy wizard, and two kinds of Bries. 1. Stephenie Meyer ( Austenland ) When you think “billion-dollar vampire franchise” you don’t necessarily think “Sundance,” but after producing the last two films in her Twilight series ( Breaking Dawn Part 1 & 2 ) and the upcoming adaptation of her sci-fi novel The Host , Stephenie Meyer came onboard to produce another lit adaptation, Austenland , based on Shannon Hale’s book — and the Jerusha Hess-helmed pic, starring Keri Russell, Bret McKenzie and JJ Feild, makes its debut in competition in Park City. Thirtysomething, single Jane is obsessed with Mr. Darcy, as played by Colin Firth in Pride and Prejudice. On a trip to an English resort, her fantasies of meeting the perfect Regency-era gentleman become more real than she ever imagined. 2. David Sedaris ( C.O.G. ) Bestselling author David Sedaris gets his first big screen adaptation in C.O.G. , based on a short story in Sedaris’s book Naked . Kyle Patrick Alvarez directs Jonathan Groff ( Glee ) in the account based on Sedaris’s own experience working as an apple picker in Oregon, joined by a colorful cast including Casey Wilson, Dean Stockwell, Corey Stoll, Dale Dickey, and Denis O’Hare. In the first ever film adaptation of David Sedaris’ work, a cocky young man travels to Oregon to work on an apple farm. Out of his element, he finds his lifestyle and notions being picked apart by everyone who crosses his path. 3. Lake Bell ( In a World… ) The hilarious Lake Bell stars in and makes her feature directorial debut with In a World after cutting her teeth on the comedy short Worst Enemy and episodes of Childrens Hospital . An underachieving vocal coach is motivated by her father, the king of movie-trailer voice-overs, to pursue her aspirations of becoming a voiceover star. Amidst pride, sexism and family dysfunction, she sets out to change the voice of a generation. 4. Harry Potter — okay, okay: Daniel Radcliffe ( Kill Your Darlings ) Daniel Radcliffe as Allen Ginsberg. Ben Foster as William Burroughs. Jack Huston as Jack Kerouac. An untold story of murder that brought together a young Allen Ginsberg, Jack Kerouac and William Burroughs at Columbia University in 1944, providing the spark that led to the birth of an entire generation – their Beat revolution. 5. Sebastian Silva & Michael Cera ( Crystal Fairy ) Michael Cera stars in two upcoming films from Silva, who won the Sundance Grand Jury Prize in 2009 for The Maid , but they had me at “Mescaline-fueled psychedelic trip,” (Their second film, Magic Magic , is also set in Chile.) Jamie invites a stranger to join a road trip to Chile. The woman’s free and esoteric nature clashes with Jamie’s acidic, self-absorbed personality as they head into the desert for a Mescaline-fueled psychedelic trip. 6. Cherien Dabis ( May in the Summer ) Sundance alum Dabis nabbed the FIPRESCI prize out of Cannes with 2009’s Amreeka and serves as writer, director, and star of her sophomore feature, which also features Alexander Siddig, Hiam Abbass, Bill Pullman, and Alia Shawkat. A bride-to-be is forced to reevaluate her life when she reunites with her family in Jordan and finds herself confronted with the aftermath of her parents’ divorce. 7. Lynn Shelton ( Touchy Feely ) The busy Lynn Shelton ( Your Sister’s Sister ) is back in Park City with Touchy Feely , starring Rosemarie Dewitt, Ellen Page, and rising star Scoot McNairy, who should be your favorite breakout actor of 2012. A massage therapist is unable to do her job when stricken with a mysterious and sudden aversion to bodily contact. Meanwhile, her uptight brother’s foundering dental practice receives new life when clients seek out his “healing touch.” 8. The Bries: Alison Brie ( Toy’s House ) & Brie Larson ( The Spectacular Now ) Sundance-watchers get a double serving of girl crushes as Hollywood’s two gorgeous, adorable Bries pop up in competition pics. Toy’s House : Three unhappy teenage boys flee to the wilderness where they build a makeshift house and live off the land as masters of their own destiny. Or at least that’s the plan. The Spectacular Now : Sutter is a high school senior who lives for the moment; Aimee is the introvert he attempts to “save.” As their relationship deepens, the lines between right and wrong, friendship and love, and “saving” and corrupting become inextricably blurred. 9. Shane Carruth ( Upstream Color ) You’d be hard pressed to find a filmmaker whose new work will be as anticipated at Sundance as Shane Carruth, who presents his first film since debuting with the sci-fi indie hit Primer . A man and woman are drawn together, entangled in the life cycle of an ageless organism. Identity becomes an illusion as they struggle to assemble the loose fragments of wrecked lives. 10. Pussy Riot ( Pussy Riot – A Punk Prayer ) The Russian punk ladies imprisoned for being awesome are the subject of the documentary Pussy Riot – A Punk Prayer , which world premieres in Park City and competes in the World Cinema Documentary category. Three young women face seven years in a Russian prison for a satirical performance in a Moscow cathedral. But who is really on trial: the three young artists or the society they live in?
