A Bigger Splash helmer Luca Guadagnino got massive plaudits and talk of a breakout hit at Sundance when his upcoming movie Call Me By Your Name debuted. He’s also finishing up the long-gestating remake of Suspiria.
However, for his next film, it looks like he’s heading to South America with Benedict Cumberbatch and Jake Gyllenhaal, as Variety reports they’re in talks to star in Guadagnino’s Rio. The movie is about, ‘a financial reporter (Gyllenhaal) who travels to Rio de Janeiro to visit a wealthy friend (Cumberbatch), only to get sucked into a plot to fake his friend’s death.’
It’s not clear when the movie will shoot, but the film will be looking for buyers at Cannes. As Guadagnino’s Suspiria isn’t released until 2017, don’t expect it until 2018 at least.
Benedict Cumberbatch already cracked the enigma code in The Imitation Game, been jumping through dimensions in Doctor Strange, and now he wants to find out How To Stop Time. Well, sort of. That’s the title of the latest film the actor has become attached to, at least.
The Current War has been doing the round in Hollywood for over five years, but it’s only now that it’s going in front of the camera. To mark the start of production, the first image from the movie has been released via 
Starring: Benedict Cumberbatch, Chiwetel Ejiofor, Tilda Swinton
We’ve got one more major superhero to wait for this year, with Marvel introducing a new character in Doctor Strange. The Studio has released a new poster, which you can see above, along with the news that its UK release has been moved up a few days to October 25th.
If this trailer is anything to go by, Marvel is meeting Inception with Doctor Strange, and Benedict Cumberbatch is going to have a slightly odd American accent. It does look pretty cool – if strange – though.
