Ryan O’Nan and Kaiwi Lyman have signed on to star opposite Gerard Butler, Frank Grillo and Alexis Louder in Joe Carnahan’s action/thriller “Copshop.”

The film is shooting in Georgia and New Mexico. Open Road Films is releasing the movie theatrically in the U.S. with STXinternational handling foreign distribution and releasing directly in the U.K. and Ireland.

The story is centered on a small-town police station that becomes the unlikely battleground between a professional hitman, a smart rookie female cop and a double-crossing con man, who seeks refuge behind bars with no place left to run.

The project was unveiled in September. Kurt McLeod wrote the original screenplay based on a story by McLeod and Mark Williams. Carnahan penned the most recent draft.

The judging panel from “The Masked Singer” is on a roll after correctly guessing former NFL player Rob Gronkowski was hiding beneath the White Tiger costume on Wednesday night’s episode. This is the second week in a row the panelists nailed their final predictions — well, half of them anyways. “I’ve always loved dancing,” Gronkowski revealed to host Nick Cannon following his unmasking. “My dance moves were always one of a kind and I always felt like I was never on rhythm. I wanted to learn how to sing and also I really wanted to learn how to dance.” Watch his performance of “I’m Too Sexy” by Right Said Fred above.

Panelists Robin Thicke and Jenny McCarthy both pieced together the clues to correctly guess the former New England Patriot was under the mask. Nicole Scherzinger thought it was professional wrestler turned actor, Jon Cena, while Ken Jeong...

Exclusive: Flying Scotsman stars Fiennes in the unofficial sequel to Chariots Of Fire.

Us-based Archstone Distribution is in town talking up the drama On Wings Of Eagles starring Joseph Fiennes as ‘Flying Scotsman’ Eric Liddell.

The drama charts the adult life of the athlete and devout Christian and is styled as an unofficial sequel to 1981 Oscar-winner Chariots Of Fire.

Liddell was born in 1902 in China to Scottish missionaries and became a gifted sportsman who represented his country at rugby and competed in the 1924 Olympics in Paris.

He won the 400m gold medal at the Games after he refused to compete in the 100m heats because they took place on a Sunday.

A year later Liddell returned to work as a missionary teacher in China and died in a Japanese civilian internment camp in 1945.

Archstone screens On Wings Of Eagles again on Sunday. Brady Bowen brokered the acquisition with Jerry Dasti of Goodland Pictures and Kevin Mills of Innowave...

Review by Stephen Tronicek

American Violence is trash, but it’s trash with a good bibliography. This is a movie that takes the movies: Goodfellas, Drive, American History X, Silence of the Lambs, Hell or High Water, Mel Gibson revenge films, and even most recently The Birth of a Nation and tries to squash them all into the same movie.

American Violence has nowhere near the execution of those films though and this almost allows it to play like a dark comedy about all the violence that is championed in American films. Its inspiration is, in fact, some of the bloodiest movies of all time. The fact that Denise Richards is around also clues us into the fact that this could all be satire with the straightest face. Richard’s pioneered this type of schlocky, violent film in the 90’s with great hilarious thrillers like Starship Troopers and Wild Things,...
