Thank you very much to Leape for the heads up on this one!

Constantin Film and Impact Pictures are heading into space. The companies jointly announced today that actors Dennis Quaid and Ben Foster are in final negotiations to join Pandorum, a sci-fi thriller set aboard an abandoned pioneer space vessel. Overture Films will release the film in North America.

Quaid comes fresh off of Smart People and the international box office hit Vantage Point, and can next be seen in the upcoming Universal release The Express. He has recently completed production on Paramount Pictures' G.I. Joe, and is currently shooting Legion for Screen Gems. Foster, currently in production in the starring role of The Messenger for Reason Pictures, has made a name for himself as one of Hollywood's most exciting up-and-coming stars with powerful turns in 3:10 to Yuma and Alpha Dog. Christian Alvart, whose directorial debut Antibodies was met with rave reviews, is set to direct.

Hey kids I know its been slow around here, except in the forum. I posted a still from Alpha Dog. Enjoy

Ben has been nominated for a Saturn Award (Best Supporting Actor) for his role as Charlie in 3:10 to Yuma!

The Saturn Awards are given out by the Academy of Science Fiction, Fantasy and Horror Films. This year's ceremony will take place on June 24th in Universal City, Calif.

In an interview with Hot in Hollywood, Sean Faris had this to say about Ben:
What or who do you think is Hot in Hollywood?
"I think the world of Ryan Gosling and Ben Foster. I worked with Jon Foster, [Ben's] younger brother on Life As We Know It, and I came to know about Ben through Jon, and we actually traveled within the same circle as far as friends go. I watched Ben's career grow, and he's made such great choices, and I find it really inspiring for me because I've also climbed the ladder now and I've gone from doing jobs that weren't necessarily the roles that I wanted but were roles that I needed to help me get to the position where I can start to pick the roles I want go after. I hope I can do the same with my career that Ben has done with his. I think he's on fire and is making amazing choices, and his acting is top-notch. He's really grown into his own, and I hope someday I can do the same." Recognition amongst his peers once again…yeah!

I did as promised over on the forum and found this article in the Hollywood Reporter stating that Ben is indeed going to be starring in the movie The Messenger.

Ben Foster will star in "The Messenger," a drama from Oren Moverman, who is making his directorial debut with the film.

Foster will play a young Army officer who is forced to work with a partner he can't stand in the least desirable job in the military. His life becomes even more complicated when he falls in love with a soldier's widow. Alessandro Camon co-wrote the script.

The movie is set to begin shooting in April.

Foster, who received strong praise for his work in "3:10 to Yuma," is repped by Endeavor and Ken Jacobson Management Group.

This has been of recent discussion over on the forum, but I found this article on MI6 News regarding the rumour of Ben's role in the 22nd Bond film.


American actor Ben Foster is rumoured to be joining the cast of the 22nd James Bond film.

According to a report on his recent appearance on Australian radio, the 27 year-old actor could have landed a part in Daniel Craig's second 007 outing.

CanMag published this report: "Ben Foster appeared on the today show here in Brisbane this morning, to promote the local release of "3:10 to Yuma", and mentioned that he "might be doing" a part in the new James Bond film, saying that's "like every young guy's dream"."

As well as "3:10 To Yuma", Foster has been recently seen in "Alpha Dog", "X-Men: The Last Stand" and "30 Days of Night".

Hopefully news to follow.

I added pictures from AMFAR where Ben was, two have Zoe in them, they were posed for so they qualify as okay pictures.

Enjoy

A Huge Thank You to Natasha at Christian-Bale.us for the photos of Ben at the Yuma Q & A Session in LA on Dec. 12th. I've added a few to the gallery, please don't redistribute these, they're exclusive to Natasha! To see all of her photos check out the Christian-Bale.us Gallery.

The brilliant minds over at the forum would like your input. They’re thinking of requesting Ben at Artist on Artist and need your help in choosing who to pair him up with. All you need to do is head on over to the AoA thread at the forum. Right now the poll isn’t up - but if you keep checking back, I’m sure they’ll have it up soon or at least will be able to direct you where to go when it is.

If you’ve recently signed up at the forum and have had issues logging in please email me. I can’t seem to find anything wrong with the forum, so I’d be happy to sign you up or send you your info if you need it. :)

While promoting Yuma down in Australia, Ben is rumored to have said he might be up for a role in the next James Bond flick. His Rep denies him having a role, so we'll just have to sit back and wait to see if it comes about.

I've added 8 High quality photos from the SAG awards to the gallery.

Enjoy!

I've added some pictures from the SAG Awards from last night, take a look in the gallery.


Jay and I also started a photo captioning game over in the Fan Section forum so if you aren't a member or haven't visited in a while take a look and try your hand at it.

I also posted a few links to the final episode of Flash Forward someone had posted on youtube over in the forum.

Enjoy the updates!
