Gambit: Last month, we heard Edge of Tomorrow and Bourne Identity director Doug Liman was one of the possibilities to take over the X-Men spin-off Gambit following Rupert Wyatt's departure. Now Liman is finalizing a deal to helm the comic book movie, which stars Channing Tatum as the card-tossing titular mutant. The movie is still expected to hit theaters in less than a year on October 7, 2016. [THR]
Toy Story 4: Recent Academy Award winner Patricia Arquette is joining fellow Oscar-caliber talents Tom Hanks and Joan Cusack for the next Toy Story sequel. The Boyhood actress won't be playing a toy, however. She's reportedly voicing a "laid-back" mom described as a "hippie." Arquette has actually never done animation voice work like this before, but she's currently set to voice a character in the 3D-animated Troll remake. [The Wrap]
Where'd You Go, Bernadette?: Speaking of women in Richarad Linklater movies, Cate Blanchett is about to become one. The Boyhood director, who recently dropped The Rosie Project, is moving on to another project, an adaptation of Maria Semple's best-selling novel about a missing architect. Blanchett would presumably play that woman, the titular Bernadette, if current talks for the role work out. [The Wrap]
Moonwalkers Trailer: Do you believe we really went to the Moon, or did Stanley Kubrick film the whole thing? Harry Potter's Rupert Grint and Hellboy star Ron Perlman lead a crazy-looking 1960s-set comedy about the "true story" of what went down the U.S. tried to beat the Russians at the "Space Race" by hiring the world's greatest director to fake it. In addition to the below trailer there's a NSFW red-band version. Moonwalkers hits theaters on January 16. [Movieclips]
