Tom Hooper's next film "The King's Speech" features quite an impressive cast, as Helena Bonham Carter, Jennifer Ehle, Guy Pearce, Derek Jacobi, Timothy Spall and Michael Gambon boarded the project.

Also starring in the period drama are Colin Firth and Geoffrey Rush, according to the Hollywood Reporter. Hopper is directing a script by David Seidler, and filming has already kicked off in England.

What is "The King's Speech" about? Essentially, the story focuses on the relationship between King George VI and his speech therapist Lionel Logue, who supported the king in many ways.

As "Pirates of the Caribbean: On Stranger Tides" is moving ahead, people start to wonder who all will be back for the fourth installment in the popular adventure series. The latest to jump back on board: Geoffrey Rush.

At least that's what the Oscar-winning actor told MTV recently. Rush previously played Barbossa in the first three flicks, and he said he'll be back and that the screenwriters are currently working on the story.

Jim Sturgess, Geoffrey Rush, Rachael Taylor, and David Wenham are the latest to join Zack Snyder's upcoming animated project "Guardians of Ga'Hoole."

Based children's books by Kathryn Lasky, the plot centers on a bunch of Barn Owls whose kingdom is threatened by evil rogue owls.

Variety reported the flick is currently shooting in Australia, with Snyder directing. IMDb has a release date set for July 23, 2010.

Early this year, I heard some rumors about Hugo Weaving, Hugh Jackman and Ryan Kwanten boarding the pic as well, but this was apparently never announed officially. I could be missing something though.

Anyway, Sturgess recently appeared in "21" and "The Other Boleyn Girl." You will also see him in "Crossing Over." Rush starred in "Elizabeth: The Golden Age." Taylor's credits include "Bottle Shock," while Wenham appeared in "Australia."

Writing about this flick also reminded me of a great "Twin Peaks" quote I have to include to wrap this up: "The owls are not what they seem."
