Johnny Depp and Dick Cook

Here is a list of recent film news and posts I either missed or simply didn't have time to cover earlier:

• On Friday, Dick Cook suddenly resigned as chairman of Walt Disney Studios, and one guy deeply saddened by the news was Johnny Depp, who told the Los Angeles Times he was "shocked and very sad" by Cook's departure. (More here)

• Madchen Amick, Christopher Plummer and Brad Dourif have joined Paul Bettany, Karl Urban, Maggie Q and Cam Gigandet in Scott Stewart's upcoming thriller "Priest." (via MTV)

• The great Paul Giamatti has boarded Jonathan English's "Ironclad." Giamatti will be playing King John, who along with his army faced a Knights Templar (Jamed Purefoy) and his "Magnificent Seven" in 13th century England. (Variety)

Samuel L. Jackson talks 'Lakeview Terrace'

While everybody is pretty busy focusing on the Toronto Film Festival these days, we will keep you posted on what's going on over at the 34th American Film Festival in Deauville, a charming little town in France.

Last Sunday, the cast and crew of "Lakeview Terrace" gathered at the fest to show the flick and talk to the press. Director Neil Labute, producer James Lassiter and actor Samuel L. Jackson took the stage for the conference, which you can watch right here.

"Lakeview Terrace" focuses on a cop (Jackson) who pretty much torments his new neighbors. The film hits theaters domestically Sept. 19.

Stay tuned for more coverage of the Deauville fest, which runs through Sept. 14.
