Casting alert: Michael Shannon in 'Premium Rush'

Oscar-nominated actor Michael Shannon, who briefly shows up in the disastrous "Jonah Hex," is boarding "Premium Rush," a thriller starring Joseph Gordon-Levitt. Jamie Chung is also part of the flick.

Written by David Koepp, who is also directing, the film follows a bike messenger who gets chansed by a ruthless cop because he's transporting a mysterious envelope. Shannon would play the cop, of course.

The Hollywood Reporter says Chung would be playing Gordon-Levitt's ex. John Kamps co-wrote the script. Shannon scored an Oscar nomination for his awesome performance in "Revolutionary Road.

Three clips and opening scene from 'Sorority Row'

Stewart Hendler's horror thriller "Sorority Row" is set to open in theaters Sept. 11, 2009, and three clips as well as the film's opening scene have hit the Web. You can check them out below, but be careful, the clips at least contain a bit of bloody spoilers.

Well, let's just say they focus on some killings, and if you prefer to wait until the movie to see how two characters are finished off, then I adivse you to only watch the opening scene after the jump. I don't really care and watched all of them, and one of these killings is actually pretty sick.

Carrie Fisher in talks to join 'Sorority Row'

Carry Fisher is in negotiations to join Jamie Chung and Audrina Patridge in Summit Entertainment’s “Sorority Row,” a remake of Mark Rosman’s 1983 horror flick “The House on Sorority Row.

According to the Hollywood Reporter, Briana Evigan, Rumer Willis, Julian Morris, Leah Pipes and Margo Harshman are also on board.

The story focuses on a bunch of sorority sisters who are hunted by a serial killer after trying to cover up the accidental death of one of their friends. Doesn’t part of this plot sound just like “Black Christmas”?

If Fisher ends up joining the project, she would play the house mother. Stewart Hendler is directing the remake.

Let’s quickly take a look at the cast. Fisher is currently onscreen in “The Women.” Jamie Chung appeared in “Samurai Girl” and will soon be seen in “Dragonball,” while Patridge is best known for “The Hills.”

As for Evigan, she’s the lead chick in that stupid “Step Up 2: The Streets” flick. She also recently scored a role in that unnecessary “Donnie Darko” sequel “S. Darko.”

Sorority gals hunted by a killer – I’m so tired of this crap.
