Idris Elba (Takers, "The Wire") will be the new Alex Cross, inheriting the James Patterson-created character from Morgan Freeman, who played the detective in the films Kiss the Girls and Along Came a Spider. The new project will be based on Patterson's twelfth novel featuring Cross, fittingly titled Cross.

"True Blood" star Deborah Ann Woll is joining Ellen Burstyn, Marcia Gay Harden, Lucy Liu, Stephen Lang in the drama Someday This Pain Will Be Useful to You, a coming-of-age indie adaptation of the Peter Cameron novel. Roberto Faenza (Alla luce del sole) is set to direct.

According to The Hollywood Reporter, the drama tells the tale of an isolated young adult who must contend with his dysfunctional family the summer before he heads to college.

The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo has been found: Rooney Mara, who most recently appeared in the Nightmare on Elm Street remake and will be seen in October's The Social Network, will wear a gloomy expression as Lisbeth Salander, the moody hacker at the center of the blockbuster "Millennium trilogy" and the upcoming films by David Fincher.

It was a battle of the sexes - and generations - at the box office this weekend, as three high-profile releases all vied for the attention of moviegoers. The biggest face-off was between the testosterone-fet The Expendables and the Julia Roberts-starrer Eat Pray Love, while the younger-skewing Scott Pilgrim vs. The World came in hoping to be the dark horse. Three different kinds of films each aimed at different quadrants - but only one could be the winner: one of the more interesting battles of the summer, to be sure.

Mega-producer Scott Rudin has purchased the upcoming novel Freedom, which was written by Jonathan Franzen, author of the much-beloved tome The Corrections. The announcement is well-timed, as Franzen appears on the cover of Time magazine today, accompanied by the headline "Great American Novelist". Heady praise for a writer whose last book (Corrections) came out almost ten years ago, although that book is considered a modern classic and won the prestigious National Book Award.

A new featurette for Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows has been released, highlighting the major themes and story points from the final film(s). Not spoiling much (especially if you've read the books), the behind-the-scenes look has interviews with the three young protagonists at the center of the final tale, as well as chats with the producer (David Heyman) and director (David Yates). Give it a look beyond the break.

Channing Tatum is further stretching himself by taking on The Contortionist's Handbook, an adaptation of the Craig Clevinger novel of the same name that he will co-produce as well as star in.

According to Deadline.com, Tatum will play a forger who moves smoothly from one identity to the next because of a strict code of conduct that keeps him from getting caught or having to deal with his own troubled past. That gets upended when he falls for a beautiful woman with her own dark secret.

Timur Bekmambetov will officially direct the adaptation of Abraham Lincoln: Vampire Hunter, the Russian helmer revealed to Empire Online. The Wanted director had been attached as producer - along with Tim Burton - for a long while, with rampant rumors that he'd sit behind the camera for the historical horror epic; now they've been confirmed.
