Noomi Rapace Opposite Downey Jr In Next Sherlock Holmes Movie

It looks like Swedish actress Noomi Rapace will be the female lead opposite Robert Downey Jr in the next Sherlock Holmes movie scheduled for a December 2011 release. Rapace was in The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo trilogy with all three films released in 2009.

I don't know if this means there will be no Rachel McAdams returning as Irene Adler. I sure hope McAdams is back because I really enjoy seeing her on the screen in just about anything she's done. As far as Rapace goes, I don't believe she's done any acting in English, but of course that doesn't mean she doesn't have the acting chops to play against Downey Jr, who's no slouch himself in the acting dept. She just finished a film called Beyond and has another due this year: Clean Out as well as another scheduled for 2011 called The Nazi Officer's Wife.

I am unfamiliar with her work, but she is pretty, if you get past the severe punkish-goth look. She does appear that with a different look like she has in the left picture she will do well for the time period the film will be set.

And Guy Ritchie will be helming the sequel as well. The original did pretty good at the box office, bringing around $523 million in worldwide gross.

New Series Hellcats Premieres On CW

The new series HELLCATS aired Wednesday September 8 at 9:00 PM et/pt on The CW. Starring Aly Michalka as Marti Perkins, Ashley Tisdale as Savannah Monroe, Heather Hemmens as Alice Verdura, Robbie Jones as Lewis Flynn, Matt Barr as Dan Patch, with Sharon Leal as Vanessa Lodge and Gail O’Grady as Wanda Perkins.

At first glance, Michalka looks a lot like 90210's AnnaLynne Mccord (only blonder). She's been in a fair number of Disney flicks and done some work with her equally pretty sister Amanda (Cow Belles in 2006).

Episode: Hellcats “A World Full of Strangers” Marti Perkins (Michalka), is a law student at Lancer University, but finds out that scholarship is being withdrawn and her mom, Wanda (Gail O’Grady, “NYPD Blue,” “American Dreams”) has somehow forgotten to let her know. Without much choice because of finances, Marti discovers that she can stay in school by winning a place on the Hellcats cheer squad and nabbing one of the scholarships that comes with the spot.

Even though Marti has a run-in with Savannah (Tisdale), the Hellcats team captain, Marti wins over coach Vanessa Lodge (Sharon Leal, Dreamgirls). She gets on the squad (and shows her moves above) and gets thrust into the competitive world of cheerleading - it's better than it sounds.

Marti tries to figure out this new world of cheerleading with the help of her best friend Dan (Matt Barr, Harper’s Island) while becoming roommates with Savannah. She's also caught the eye of Lewis Flynn (Robbie Jones, One Tree Hill) who is the ex-boyfriend of Alice Verdura (Heather Hemmens, CSI: Miami), so some jealousy there.

This first episode was directed by Allan Arkush (formerly an executive producer on Heroes) and director for a number episodes of Crossing Jordan.

Latest Harry Potter And The Deathly Hallows Trailer

Here's the latest trailer for Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows (Book 7) due out in November 2010.

The plot of the 2nd last Potter film is that Harry, Ron and Hermione leave Hogwarts behind to destroy Voldemort's power and immortality by finding and smashing the Horcruxes - objects where the Dark Wizard has hidden pieces of his soul so he can achieve immortality. The first Horcrux that Harry Potter came into contact with was Tom Riddle's diary in Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets

The director of this film is David Yates again, who also helmed the highly successful Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix and Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince movies and will be in the director's chair for the final installment of the series due out June 15th, 2011.

And the cast is of course made up of Daniel Radcliffe, Rupert Grint, Emma Watson and other old favorites from the movie series. The date for release is November 19th, so a little over 2 months to go.

Melissa & Joey's New Sitcom - Think It'll Make It?

This is just a short little video from the ABC Family show Melissa & Joey, starring Melissa Joan Hart and Joey Lawrence. First off all I can notice is that "Whoa!" Joey's bald. Sorry, you know I had to throw a whoa in there somewhere. Lawrence was Joey Russo back in the early 90s on the show Blossom and that was his catch phrase. Before Blossom he was on Gimmie A Break! again playing a character named Joey.

Of course the "Melissa" in Melissa & Joey is Melissa Joan Hart who was Sabrina The Teenage Witch for 7 seasons also with ABC. Both Hart and Lawrence have appeared together before as they were in an ABC movie called My Fake Fiance that got respectable ratings back in 2009 when it aired.
