Alex Pettyfer, star of failed franchise starter “I Am Number Four,” and Steven Soderbergh's upcoming "Magic Mike," has found a new starring role in the new film from “Heartbreaker” helmer Pascal Chaumeil. “Diamond Dogs” is based on an Alan Watt novel that is described as a crime thriller. Pettyfer will play the son of a Nevada sheriff who makes a life-changing mistake, and his father is forced to cover it up. Casting is currently underway for the father and no start date has been set.

Meanwhile, Gwyneth Paltrow is in talks to co-star in the Carlos Saura (“Raise Ravens,” “The Hunt”) directed “Guernica 33 Days.” The film, co-written by Suara with Elias Querejeta, and Louis-Charles Sirjacq, will follow Pablo Picasso’s emotional turmoil as he painted the famous artwork referenced in the title.
Antonio Banderas stars as Picasso, and Paltrow would play his lover, a Spanish-speaking French photographer named Dora Maar.

Alex Pettyfer has been pulled out of the oxygen tent and asked for the latest party.
The "Magic Mike" star has signed on for "Diamond Dogs," a movie that, despite that fun bit of lyrics-quoting above, doesn't look like it has anything to do with David Bowie's 1974 concept album (or song) of the same name, according to Variety.
Bowie's album was produced as an alternative to his planned stage musical production of "1984" after he was denied the adaptation rights by George Orwell's estate. The songs describe a glam totalitarian post-apocalyptic world — a far cry from the premise of the film of the same name, which deals with a popular high school quarterback (Pettyfer) whose life is turned upside down after he accidentally kills someone, a crime that the local sheriff — who also happens to be his father — is covering up.

Now that our Controllers have stepped up their false flag operations (sending their mind controlled patsies crashing into IRS buildings, strolling up to the Pentagon with firearms brandished, sticking bombs in their underpants and boarding airplanes) in order to garner the nearly-braindead public's support for demonizing peaceful dissent and shutting down freedom of speech once and for all, conspiracy researchers have once again hit the top of society's shit list (number one with a bullet, you might say, as it's only a matter of time before they begin rounding us up and gunning us down).
Despite this stigma, women sometimes observe the goings-on in the male dominated conspiracy theory universe and think to themselves, "I want to play, too." So they try, but it usually only takes one time calling into the Alex Jones show and getting yelled at before they throw in the towel. What they...

Scenes of violent street protests tend to capture the attention of the news media during major political summits. Is aggression the only meaningful method of activism in a world in which people feel detached from world leaders, though? That is a question asked by Canadian independent filmmaker Velcrow Ripper in his latest documentary, Fierce Light.
Velcrow Ripper has been directing fiction and documentary films since his teenage years and even his earliest productions had political themes. He is no militant, though. Inspired by such activists as Gandhi and Archbishop Desmond Tutu, he seems more intent on encouraging introspection than persuasion. Fierce Light exemplifies that. The film essentially chronicles Ripper's personal exploration of different methods of activism and raises more questions than it answers. His approach, combined with some beautiful and striking images from some of the world's most exotic places, makes Fierce Light feel more like Baraka than An Inconvenient Truth...
