Quick Cuts: Ron Perlman in At the Mountains of Madness, Chloe Moretz signed on as Emily the Strange and other stories
- Guillermo del Toro has confirmed that if Ron Perlman is available, he will be appearing in At the Mountains of Madness. “Ron plays Larson, the sort of dog guy, the guy that cares for the dogs and the sled — the part of the expedition that is dog sleds. It’s a fantastic character. I really love him. He’s sort of a pragmatic guy, doesn’t care about science or the mythology or the cosmology. He just is a hard-boiled Nordic man, and it is written specifically for him.” The rumor had been passed around for a while, but we now have the confirmation. And that is a good thing.

- To file under ‘News No One is Surprised by,’ Kate Beckinsale will be returning in Underworld 4. The film has no director yet, but the script by John Hlavin (Donkey Punch, The Shield) is being shopped around. What does make this interesting is that J. Michael Straczynski was brought in for script revisions, so this might be tolerable. (Source: The Hollywood Reporter’s Heat Vision Blog)
- Chloe Moretz will be playing the titular character in Universal Pictures’ Emily the Strange. The Dark Horse comic follows Emily, a strong character who, according to the official website, is “An Artist, A Dreamer, An Inventor, A Scientist, A Skater, A Rocker and An Individual!” A fair description of the road that Moretz is paving for herself in Hollywood.

- Superman producers Christopher Nolan and Emma Thomas are looking for directors for the film. In the running are Matt Reeves (Cloverfield, Let Me In), Duncan Jones (Moon), Zack Snyder, Jonathan Liebesman (Battle: Los Angeles), and Tony Scott (The Taking of Pelham 123). Obviously, some of those names would be preferable to others. Nolan likely knows this, and with him in charge of picking the director, we can at least feel slightly confident. The studio will have to make the film before 2012, when they lose certain rights to the character. (Source: Deadline)
