The Witcher season 4 will recast Vesemir as well as Geralt, but this may not be such a bad thing, as it may end up working in Liam Hemsworth's favor. Henry Cavill played Geralt of Rivia in The Witcher season 3, as well as the former two seasons, but he will pass the torch to Liam Hemsworth for season 4. Hemsworth will face an uphill battle to impress fans after Cavill's stellar performance despite a strong track record in fantasy roles. Kim Bodnia's replacement may face a similar struggle, with Bodnia's Vesemir having developed a bond with Geralt.

However, both the new Geralt and Vesemir can likely play off each other to cement themselves into their new roles. A spokesperson for Kim Bodnia confirmed to Radio Times that he wouldn't be returning to the role as his "shooting diary didnt fit in with Netflixs shooting schedule of The Witcher season 4." Now,...

Have you heard of this movie called "Barbie"? It's this little movie directed by a former mumblecore muse and starring the actress who played Juliet on a couple episodes of the Australian children's show "The Elephant Princess" that, uh ... had the biggest blockbuster opening of the year, grossed $1 billion at the worldwide box office in just 17 days, and in only its third week of release has earned a spot among the 100 most profitable movies of all time. It really and truly is Barbie's world, and we're all just living in it. 

Greta Gerwig's life-and-times take on the iconic toy played by Margot Robbie has broken so many records and set so many new cultural milestones already. But there's one detail that deserves a close examination. According to a new report from the pre-release film tracking group The Quorum, a key component to the success of "Barbie" has been...

Laura Dern (Jurassic World Dominion) and Liam Hemsworth (Poker Face) have signed on to star in the film Lonely Planet, which Susannah Grant (Unbelievable) is writing and directing for Netflix.

Grant is an Oscar- and three-time Emmy nominee...

Born in Queensland, Australia, Margot Robbie spent her childhood years performing "shows" for family, an early sign of where her life was headed with a bit of luck. She was enrolled in circus school by her mother, where she excelled at the trapeze,...

Are we about to hit peak Margot Robbie? The actress may not be the top-billed name on the Suicide Squad poster, but going into the film's August premiere, she's certainly garnering the lion's share of attention - well, her and Jared Leto, anyway - for what's sure to be a memorable turn as DC anti-hero Harley Quinn. And while Robbie, 26, is certainly no stranger to the moviegoing public at large, given her roles in The Wolf of Wall Street and Focus, there's still plenty to learn about the beauty from Down Under.

Malone and Smith play Scarlett and Alex, a young couple who stop at a desert motel on their way to start a new life in L.A. When she vanishes, Alex desperately tries to find her but is plunged into a nightmarish world where he finally realizes that he must be in a dream — but he is not the dreamer. Ted Levine also has joined the cast as a sinister preacher who taunts Alex at every turn. Brian Gottlieb wrote the pic, which starts shooting September 1 in Ottawa.

The procession of Australian actors trying their luck in Hollywood continues with Nikolai Nikolaeff and Damien Bodie the latest to secure Us management.

Nikolaeff has signed with The Schiff Company, which represents A-list talent including Keira Knightley, Eminem, Helena Bonham Carter, Jeff Bridges, Dougray Scott and Dylan McDermott. Bodie signed with Genesis Entertainment Partners.

Both are represented in Australia by Aran Michael Management. Michael, who takes talent to the Us several times a year, introduced both actors to the management companies.

Unlike some Aussies who try to break into Hollywood early in their careers, Nikolaeff and Bodie have extensive resumes. This year Nikolaeff co-starred with Rachel Griffiths and Rodger Corser in Camp, the NBC summer series that was shot in northern Nsw, produced by Matchbox Pictures, Universal Studios and Berman-Braun.

Nikolaeff played the love interest of Griffiths' character, who vied with Corser for her affections. The series will air here on Seven during the summer.

Editor’s Note: I met Sean Williams at Comic-Con’s Hall H between panels on the first day of the Con this past July, chatting as people do. It turns out that Sean is a filmmaker, and he’s working on a sci-fi project – travel to another planet! strong women! – that sounds really great.

Last week Sean let me know that he was ready to start “officially” talking about the project, and wanted to know what I’d like to know. I told him I wanted to know, basically, everything. How the project got started, who’s involved, where he is in the process, etc. What follows is the narrative he wrote up on the spot on his phone and sent to me via Facebook Messenger in response. One long narrative that was completely engaging. He even copied and inserted biographies as he went along. It’s no wonder the man has won writing awards.

The 2012 X Factor winner, singer Samantha Jade, makes her screen debut as Kylie Minogue in the Seven Network miniseries Never Tear Us Apart: The Untold Story of Inxs.

Billed as the uncensored story of the iconic band's rise to the top of the international charts and the aftermath of dealing with frontman Michael Hutchence's death in 1997, it's shooting in Melbourne.

Luke Arnold, who stars as Long John Silver in the Michael Bay-produced pirate adventure series Black Sails for the Us network Starz, plays Hutchence.

Georgina Haig (Fringe, The Elephant Princess) has been cast as Paula Yates and Mallory Jansen (Howzat! Kerry Packer's War) is Helena Christensen.

Georgina Haig has won a guest role on Fringe. The Australian actress will appear in the 19th episode of the Fox sci-fi drama's fourth season, according to TVLine. She has been cast as Etta, a government operative paired with a male agent, played by Lost star Henry Ian Cusick. Haig has predominantly worked in Australian television, starring in crime drama Underbelly and children's series The Elephant Princess. Michael Massee also recently signed up to appear in the fourth season of Fringe. The Se7en (more)...

For those of you in "Fringe" withdrawal, we've got something to tide you over. Despite rumors of cancellation earlier in the year, the casting is ongoing. Not sure if we can do the dance of joy yet, fellow "Fringe" fans, but this can't be a bad sign.

According to TV Line, Australian actress Georgina Haig has been cast in the show. She's appeared in Australian films like "The Elephant Princess" and "Underbelly." Now she'll be playing a Fringe agent named Etta. She'll appear in episode 19, so it will be a little while until we see her.

Etta will be the partner of the recently cast Henry Ian Cusick, of "Lost" fame. No one knows where these two will show up and in which universe, but the site is reporting that Haig's character may be sticking around longer than Cusick's. The original listing for the roles said they were alternate universe agents,...

H20: Just Add Water producer Jonathan M. Shiff is now dipping his toes into the family drama pond.

It’s been well known to those of us following the buildup to the network premiere of Terra Nova that the cast roster wasn’t complete as we knew it, and Fox proved that this week by announcing the addition of some new cast members: Simone Kessell, Ashley Zukerman, and Emilia Burns. All three newbies are Australian, by the way. Please see our updated cast bios section for more information on these actors and join the Terra Nova Forums to talk about them.

Simone Kessell is joining Terra Nova as Alicia Washington, who The Hollywood Reporter says is billed as being second-in-command to Stephen Lang’s Commander Taylor, which makes her de-facto next in line as far as colony authority. Kessell is no stranger to the small screen, having had previous parts on Fringe, CSI: Miami, Reaper and other shows. Her character is said to be a “major player” on Terra Nova,...

Emelia Burns is an Australian actress best known for her small screen roles homeland. Emelia was born in Brisbane, Australia in 1982; her mother is a native of the African nation of Ghana, and her father is from Scotland. Ms. Burns’ first theatrical appearance was in the 2007 movie The Condemned, where she played Yasantwa, a condemned prisoner destined to compete in the movie’s eponymous fictional human hunting web-based television show. Burns’ performance in The Condemned earned a great deal of critical acclaim and led to more opportunities in Australian film and television, notably her leading and recurring roles in H20: Just Add Water (a popular Australian teen show), Sea Patrol, and The Elephant Princess.

In the Us she will be recognized for her part as Mudawa in the witty and insightful series, The Starter Wife, starring Deborah Messing. She also appeared in the horror flick Don’t Be Afraid of the Dark.

Fox’s Terra Nova has cast Ashley Zukerman (The Pacific) and Emelia Burns (The Elephant Princess) as recurring characters according to The Hollywood Reporter. Zukerman plays Lucas, a major character that is “mysterious and enigmatic” and has a connection to Commander Nathaniel Taylor (Stephen Lang). You can expect to see him in four episodes of the show beginning halfway through the first season. I’m not sure what his connections to Taylor are but, more likely than not, they’re sinister in nature, although Lang came off as a good guy to me even if he is a bit rough around the edges. He could be someone from Taylor’s past who knows toe curling secrets about him.

As for Burns, she will be playing one of Taylor’s soldiers named Reilly. She doesn’t seem to be as important as Zukerman’s character.

Terra Nova is one this fall...

Lionsgate announced Monday that the roles of Peeta and Gale had been cast for the movie adaptation of Suzanne Collins' The Hunger Games. Fan reaction has ranged from aggravation to confusion to excitement. We talked with the most popular fan sites to get their reactions.

Hunger-Games.net

Personally, I am quite happy with the casting. Jennifer Lawrence is 20, therefore casting older actors for Peeta and Gale makes sense. I have seen Liam Hemsworth in the TV Show The Elephant Princess where he was a part of the main love triangle - so I can totally see him play out Gale. As for Josh Hutcherson, he has the soft boyish charm that Hunger Games fans associate with Peeta. I'm sure we can all trust the makeup artists to create brilliance onscreen.

Julie Anne Robinson is directing, and Adam Shankman and Jennifer Gibgot's Offspring Entertainment are producing.

The story centers on a rebellious teenager (Cyrus) who is forced to spend the summer with the father who left her years earlier.

The studio is looking at a June 15 start date in Georgia.

Hemsworth, who hails from Australia, made his U.S debut in the Nicolas Cage starrer "Knowing." In Oz, he appeared in several televisions shows, including the family fantasy "The Elephant Princess" and the drama "Neighbours."

Nikkie Finke reported yesterday about the upcoming Thor film and how Marvel and director Kenneth Branagh are facing a big challenge in trying to cast the lead character. In her report, she lists some of the candidates in the running to wield Mjolnir and become the God of Thunder.

Interestingly, she also points out that they are considering Josh Hartnett not only for the role of Loki, the God of Mischief, but to play The Mighty Thor himself. Now, I can see him giving an interesting performance as Loki but my suspension of belief doesn’t extend to him playing Thor.

While there’s some desire by Marvel to see Hartnett or another recognizable actor to play Thor, there’s also a lot of interest in casting an unknown. Personally, I don’t know which would be best for this movie but I liked the idea of casting a relatively...
