Wonderful actress Rebecca Hall has joined the cast of Transcendence, the directorial debut of longtime Christopher Nolan cinematographer Wally Pfister. She'll be playing Johnny Depp's wife in the mysterious sci-fi picture, which in some way involves a computer becoming self-aware. Paul Bettany also stars. Hm, Paul Bettany's kinda weird, so maybe he plays the computer? Or like the voice of the computer? Though doesn't Johnny Depp usually want the weird roles? Is Rebecca Hall married to a computer? How many wigs and fake teeth are involved in this movie? I'm beginning to get a little worried that Johnny Depp might be playing an actual human man in this movie. That can't be! That cannot be. Figure something out, Pfister. At least give him a weird accent. At least do that. Don't let Bettany have all the fun. I don't know if Johnny could take it. [The Hollywood Reporter]
Not to be outdone by HBO's Game of Thrones, the History Channel has thrown itself into the fantasy ring with a miniseries called The Bible, based on the popular book, and it has really connected with audiences. The first two hours of the ten-hour series premiered last night to a whopping 13.1 million people. That is a massive amount of people for basic cable. Heck, these days it's a lot of people period. So it looks like the History Channel has a big hit on its hands! Lots of watercooler chatter and theorizing and whatnot. In case you haven't already read the book, we're not going to give away any spoilers, but know that there's a big death coming up. Like maybe bigger than you-know-who in GoT. Brace yourselves!

Here's a trailer for What Maisie Knew, a film adaptation of the Henry James novel starring Julianne Moore, Steve Coogan, and Alexander Skarsgård. Though nobody's running around in late Victorian garb and calling each other sir. This is set in modern-day New York City and seems to be more dreamy/sad than morally scolding. Whatever it is, we're curious. It's a good cast, and who can resist that Stars song? That's a guaranteed goosebump or shiver right there. Take heed, movie trailer makers.
