More casting news for Thor 2

Two long standing actors have joined the cast for Thor: The Dark World.

Starting off we have Richard Brake (Batman Begins) who has been cast as the captain of the Einherjar warriors. In the Marvel universe the warriors, led by Ander, are responsible for the training of Thor. It is unclear whether Brake is playing the role of Ander but he has been officially added.

The other person added is Clive Russell (Sherlock Holmes, Game of Thrones). He will be playing Tyr who is Thor's older brother and Asgard's God of War.

Isabelle Fuhrman lands lead in Suspiria

You might know Isabelle Fuhrman as "the creepy Orphan girl," as Bloody-Disgusting puts it. She was also most recently in The Hunger Games where she played Clove, the lethal tribute from District 2. Anyway, it is being reported by numerous sources that the now 15-year old actress has landed the lead role in David Gordon Green's upcoming remake of the Dario Argento classic Suspiria.

This lead role should be that of Suzy Banyon who was originally portrayed by Jessica Harper back in 1977. The basic plot of Suspiria is...

"A young American girl transfers to a ballet school in Italy only to find it controlled by a coven of evil witches."

I personally love Suspiria so I am skeptical of this remake. However, I loved Isabelle Fuhrman in Orphan and The Hunger Games so I think she will bring something great to the table. I have been waiting for her to resurface in another horror movie since I saw Orphan.

Julianne Moore in talks for Carrie reboot

It has been reported that Julianne Moore is in talks, and possible negotiations, to play Carrie's mother in the upcoming remake of Carrie. If you didn't know already, Chloe Moretz has been cast to play Carrie White. 

Honestly, this is a bit odd for me. I love Julianne Moore, don't get me wrong, but I don't know if I can quite picture her as Carrie's mother. I had heard rumors that both Sissy Spacek and Jodie Foster were being tossed around and that kind of excited me. I would have loved to see Sissy Spacek come back as the mother. Oh well. Moore hasn't been 100% confirmed yet so this still could change.

What do you think? Do you like the idea of Julianne Moore as Carrie's mother or not? If you don't, who would you want to see cast?
