According to Screendaily and Upandcomers,Kaya,Tom Cullen (Weekend,season 4 of Downton Abbey) and Dougarry Scott are cast in Tiger House. The movie,directed by Thomas Daley,will start shooting in September.

A gang of would-be bank robbers, instead of bursting in guns blazing to the bank itself during business hours, break into the bank manager’s house in the middle of the night instead, taking his family hostage and forcing him to rob his bank for them. However, they miss one inhabitant of the house (looking likely that Scodelario may play the lone escapee) and that certainly throws things for the robbers off track.
Below is some teaser trailer.



Kaya did an interview with Indiewire : http://blogs.indiewire.com/theplaylist/interview-kaya-scodelario-on-emanuel-the-truth-about-fishes-sean-durkins-southcliffe-the-maze-runner-her-return-to-skins-20130507?page=1#blogPostHeaderPanel

Another trailer was released a few weeks ago and was focused on the love story aspect :

I never expected to see Sean in a period drama.

According to her agency's page,Freya is cast in Casting(s).
From what I found on the internet,it's a tv show for the cable channel Canal + (they are the one for broadcast Skins in France) about a few actors's experiences of the casting process whether they are funny or horrible (this was my really bad attempt at translating so here's the short synopsis in French "On y raconte nos expériences de casting, aussi violentes que drôles. Les rôles seront joués par une dizaine d’acteurs de notre génération").They started filming in late March but I think Freya wasn't filming.The cast will include about 10 actors : Freya,Pierre Niney (who is also one of the writers),Ali Marhyar ( Zero Dark Thirty) is also the writer,Benjamin Lavern ,Guillaume Compiano,Fanny Sydney,François Civil,Antoine Gouy,Natasha Andrews. There will be 15 episodes of 30 min each.

Casting(s) is the project of Pierre Niney a 24 year old actor who seems to be everywhere right now.He is the youngest member of the French theater institution that is La Comédie Française. Pierre had a part in LOL ( a French movie about teenagers with Sophie Marceau which had a lot of success here and had an American remake with Miley Cyrus and Demi Moore) and was the lead in 18 years old and rising (French title was J'aime regarder les filles).He also had one of the lead roles in Comme des frères which was a successful movie and the director of this movie ( Hugo Gélin) is producing Casting(s).
The last two years,he was nominated for the Cesar awards (France's Oscars) in the male newcomer category (he lost to Matthias Schoenaerts in Rust and Bone with Marion Cotillard).Pierre will play the role of Yves Saint Laurent in Jalil Lespert's biopic movie (there is another biopic project with Léa Seydoux -Inglorious Basterds,Midnight in Paris and Gaspard Ulliel-Hannibal Rising).The cast also includes Guillaume Gallienne (Coppola's Marie Antoinette) as his husband Pierre Bergé and Charlotte Le Bon  (Gondry's Mood Indigo with Audrey Tauton -Amelie Poulain - ,Omar Sy-The Untouchables-) and even though the biopic doesn't start filming until June or July the Weinstein Company already bought the movie rights.


I can't wait to hear her French accent ! It would be nice if Freya was cast as Betty Catroux (one of YSL's muse) in the Yves Saint Laurent biopic (Freya and Jalil Lespert have the same agent).
The last photoshoot Freya did was with a French photographer ( http://www.julienpanie.com/#!__studio) who took pictures of Pierre Niney(picture 4 in the link),Hugo Gélin (5) and the two others lead actors of Comme des frères ( 1 and 2) ( the guy in the third picture is also an actor,the last one is an internet comedian starring in a movie but if anyone knows the name of the cute guy in picture 6 I'm interested).

Joe Dempsie is currently in Jordan filming Monsters : dark continent (the sequel of the indie monster movie Monsters). The movie will also films in Detroit.
Set a few years after the original, which saw Scoot McNairy and Whitney Able traverse dangerous “infected zones” filled with giant aliens in an attempt to cross the Mexico-US border, the new film will be more military-based, as soldiers struggle to fight back against the otherworldly invaders.
The movie is directed by Tom Green (Misfits)with a script from Jay Basu ( Fast Girls).The cast also includes Johnny Harris (This is England, TIE 86 & 88,The Fades with Joe,Lily Loveless and Daniel Kaluuya,Welcome to the punch with Daniel Kaluuya) and Sam Keeley ( Nathan's brother in Misfits, This must be the place).

He will be joined on stage by Lara Rossi ( The shadow line,Murder with Joe and Karla Crome).

Hannah Murray is currently in Game of Thrones.She did an interview for Interview magazine ( pictures : http://www.hannahmurraynews.com/2013/02/interview-magazine-march-2013/) and said this about Skins : " While watching Breakfast at Tiffany’s (1961), Hannah noticed a watch being worn on someone’s ankle in a party scene. She copied the look for her audition for the notorious teen U.K. TV series Skins, and the ankle watch became a signature for her anorexic kooky hipster character, Cassie, for her run on the show during the 2007 and 2008 seasons. Now, after a five-year hiatus, Skins has asked Murray to reprise her role for a two-hour special set to air on British television this spring. “I thought I didn’t want to do the show again,” says the London-based Murray. “But the producers told me it would be a stand-alone story in which five years had passed for the character, and I thought about how much I had changed in that time. The other thing is that I don’t get to play my age, 23, that much. I’m still playing teenagers.” There is also an interview and pictures about God help the girl in D8 magazine (http://www.hannahmurraynews.com/2013/03/stuart-murdoch-god-help-the-girl-interview/).

http://www.flickeringmyth.com/2013/04/late-to-show-skins-1st-generation.html : some journalist is rewatching Skins before series 7.

It looks like Kaya has been cast as Theresa (the female lead) for the movie adaptation of The Maze Runner. Rehearsals begin in mid-April and shooting starts on May 1, 2013 in Baton Rouge, Louisiana.

"The Maze Runner" centers on Thomas, who wakes up in a rickety elevator with no memory. When the doors open, he finds himself surrounded by kids who welcome him to the Glade - a large, open expanse surrounded by stone walls. Nobody knows why or how they got to the Glade, but every morning the stone doors open up to an awe-inspiring maze that is constantly shifting.The Gladers' only hope of escaping lie in the hands of elite Maze Runners who search for an exit each day. Every night the doors are closed tight, and everyone must get out, or fall prey to creatures who prowl the maze. Every 30 days a new boy is delivered in the elevator, but suddenly the first girl, Theresa, shows up. Together, Thomas and Teresa must embark on a quest to solve the riddle of the maze and reveal the chilling secret of who brought them there, and why.

The cast includes Thomas Brodie-Sangster (the little boy from Love Actually, Nowhere Boy,Game of Thrones 3 ) as Newt ,Will Poulter (Narnia,Wild Bill,Plastic with Sebastian de Souza ) as Gally and Aml Ameen (Kidulthood with Nicholas Hoult, Forest Whitaker’s younger self in Lee Daniel’s “The Butler“ out later this year) as Alby.The rest of the cast might include Connor Jessup ( Falling Skies) and Blake Cooper (Supernatural).
Fun fact : Will Poulter filmed the pilot for the Fades and had the role of Mac (who went to Daniel Kaluuya).Olly Alexander ( who filmed God help the girl and Skins Pure with Hannah Murray ) was Paul.

The story seems interesting but hopefully there's no love triangle like in every YA novel these days. It's a smart move from Kaya because if it's successful (and it might be since she appears in a lot of fancast and is definitely a fan favorite) this could help her break the Hollywood market.

The Panthers is a co production between the French channel Canal + and the British channel Sky Atlantic.

The bi-lingual drama (6 episodes of  60 minutes each) is based on the true story of an international crime gang that emerged from the former Yugoslavia after the Balkan war. The gang, which was known as the Pink Panthers and included former Serbian soldiers, robbed luxury boutiques across Europe and was involved in weapons and drug trafficking.

Each episode will follow a heist in a glamorous location, such as Monaco or Dubai, and will centre on three characters: a gang member, a female British loss-adjuster embroiled in the dodgy jewellery trade and a French policeman.

This will be Sky's second French co-production (with Canal +) after The Tunnel ( remake of Scandinavian drama The Bridge - Us remake on FX this July with Diane Kruger and Damian Bechir-) currently filming with Clemence Poesy (Fleur Delacour in Harry Potter) and Stephen Dillane (Stannis Baratheon on Game of Thrones) which will air this autumn .
It is produced by Warp Films (This is England 86 & 88, Channel 4's drama Southcliffe with Kaya Scodelario and Joe Dempsie) and Haut et Court (the production company behind the awesome French zombie drama Les revenants which will air in May on Channel 4).

The Panthers was created by Jerome Pierrat (a French investigative reporter specialising in organised crime) and Jean-Alain Laban (an up-and-coming crime novelist).The drama will be written by Pierrat and Jack Thorne.

I've heard about this project a long time ago and thought it was interesting (Canal + also has a project about Versailles with two screenwriters of Mad Men but it's still in development).
If you still haven't seen The Bridge ( I'd also suggest watching Borgen,Forbrydelsen and Akta Manniskor : Nordic tv shows are really good ! ) or Les revenants do it !
I need Freya to be in this : I'm dying to hear her speak French !

Georgia Lester has written a few episodes of the new E4 tv show Youngers currently airing and did an interview about her career so far. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eUeZz6Kt4G4

Sean Buckley ( Freddie's season 4 episode,5X01,5X09,5X04) has a script "Competition " ( a visceral coming of age tale set in the world of gymnastics) that he co wrote which is on the Uk brit list (the English version of the Black list which is the list of the best unproduced screenplays).

Jack Thorne is on Indiewire's list of the 10 screenwriters to watch .
He wrote the script for the book to movie adaptation of How I live now with Saoirse Ronan and George Mackay ( he filmed Sunshine on Leith with Freya Mavor,Peter Mullan and Antonia Thomas - http://skinsfans.livejournal.com/2316705.html#comments -) , for a young adult novel Blood red road which is being produced by Ridley Scott and Tony Scott, for a book to tv adaptation of Pigeon English produced by Ridley and Tony Scott,for a book to movie adaptation of Major's pettigrew's last stand for Warner Bros and he also wrote the script for a magician movie Mortimer Wintergreen for Johnny Depp's company.

Now Jack Thorne has a new tv show which will air on E4. Glue is an eight hour-long episodes drama which is described as "a twisted, wayward and darkly compelling tale of murder, teenagers and rural English village life. Set in and around horse stables, it follows the aftermath of the discovery of a teenage traveler's body and the community fallout as the death is investigated."

Finally,he is in talks to script the movie adaptation of Neil Gaiman’s “The Ocean at the End of the Lane” which could be directed by Joe Wright (Pride & Prejudice, Atonement, Hanna, Anna Karenina and his stage directing debut of Trelawny of the Wells with Daniel Kaluuya).

I wonder which Skins alumni will be cast on Glue .
