CILLIAN MURPHY JOINS

IN THE HEART OF THE SEA

In casting news today, people, the latest one to join the hunky cast of new epic adventure IN THE HEART OF THE SEA is Irish star Cillian Murphy. Ron Howard directed movie adaptation of Nathaniel Philbrick book already has Chris Hemsworth and Benjamin Walker! The book follows famous ship Essex which served as an inspiration for Herman Melville's MOBY DICK. "Deadline" reports that Murphy will play Matthew Joy, second mate on the whale ship Essex. Citing reports of cannibals in the Society Islands, Joy and first mate Owen Chase (Chris Hemsworth) convince first time Captain Pollard (Benjamin Walker) to sail to South America after an enraged sperm whale rams and sinks the Essex, leaving 21 crew members adrift in small boats, 3,000 miles from land.

HOW TO TRAIN YOUR DRAGON 2

 FIRST PICS SHOW A GROWN UP HICCUP

One of the very special cinematic treats today are the lovely first pictures showing our favourite heroes Hiccup and Astrid in HOW TO TRAIN YOUR DRAGON 2! As you remember the end of the beloved animated blockbuster which earned hundreds of millions of dollars a few years ago had seen Hiccup a hero left without his leg which made him similar to his  friend dragon Toothless. New pictures show Hiccup as a grown up teenager and another new thing are dragon races which have become popular on his island in the meantime. In the sequel,  Hiccup and Toothless, who spend their time going on journeys and adventures, will discover a cave that is home to hundredsof wild new dragons and the mysterious Dragon Rider. They will have to do everything to protect the peace in their land. The film is supposed to hit theatres June next year with Gerard Butler, Jay Baruchel, America Ferera, Craig Ferguson lending their voices to our heroes again!
