Total Film: The Modern Guide to The Movies Captain America: The Winter Soldier auditioning love interests

Having been cast adrift in the future, separated by many years from his forces sweetheart Peggy Carter, life is lonely for poor old Captain America, Steve Rogers. Fortunately for him however, there’s a new love interest on the cards.

According to Deadline, Marvel are set to add a new female lead to Captain America: The Winter Soldier, somebody Rodgers can bond with in his new contemporary setting.

The studio has apparently assembled a shortlist of top female talent, with Imogen Poots, Teresa Palmer, Emilia Clarke, Alison Brie and Downton Abbey’s Jessica Brown Findlay set to battle it out for the part.

Meanwhile, as an added bonus, Deadline also reports that Scarlett Johansson’s Black Widow will be making a cameo appearance. How exactly her character will fit in remains to be seen, but it’s welcome news nonetheless.

Directed by Anthony and Joe Russo and starring Chris Evans, Anthony Mackie and Sebastian Stan, Captain America: The Winter Soldier will open in the UK on 4 April 2014.

Movie News Richard Kelly and Nicolas Cage Team For Amicus COMMENTS (2) Posted by: Posted by: ADD COMMENTS

Richard Kelly and Nicolas Cage are joining forces for a true crime courtroom drama called Amicus. Variety has the news, saying that Kelly will write and direct with Cage playing Rodney A. Smolla, a First Amendment attorney who seemingly went up his personal and professional principles in a complicated lawsuit related to multiple homicide.

Smolla himself wrote about the case in 1999's "Deliberate Intent: A Lawyer Tells the True Story of Murder by the Book". His text is officially described as follows:

Early in 1992, Lawrence Horn hired a contract killer to execute his ex-wife and his severely brain-damaged son. On March 3, 1992, the man he hired, James Perry, traveled to Silver Spring, Maryland, and murdered Horn's ex-wife and child and the boy's nurse. Perry used a book called 'Hit Man' as an instruction manual for the murders. The subsequent criminal trial became known as the Hit Man case, and after Horn and Perry were convicted of murder, the victims' families surprised the nation by filing an unprecedented wrongful death suit against Paladin Press, publisher of 'Hit Man'. In a controversial turn of events, Paladin was being blamed for the murders.

Distinguished attorney Rod Smolla, First Amendment expert and vigorous advocate of free speech, was approached to represent the victims' families in the civil suit against Paladin. Smolla initially declined, but after reading Hit Man and likening it to 'a loaded pistol or a vial of poison,' he decided to take on the case, even though it seemed to go against his abiding belief in the First Amendment. Smolla argued that if Paladin Press knew and intended that its murder manual 'Hit Man' would be used in the actual planning and execution of contract killings, Paladin was not entitled to immunity under the First Amendment. In an appeal that stunned the legal world, Smolla's argument prevailed and was affirmed by the Supreme Court. 'Deliberate Intent' is the dramatic story of the events behind this landmark case--a story that includes murder, trials, and appeals and, most important, raises fascinating and difficult questions about our most cherished freedom.

The title Amicus is a reference to the latin term "amicus curiae", literally meaning "friend of the court". In the US judicial system, the term applies when someone is brought in to independently gather and present information related to a given case.

Amicus plans to shoot in Atlanta in January 2013.
