Named as one of the UK's Stars of Tomorrow (http://www.screendaily.com/ScreenDailyArticle.aspx?intStoryID=33541), the young and talented Tom Payne has nowhere to go but up! While his first movie role is a supporting one for Miss Pettigrew Lives for a Day (http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0970468/), Payne managed to shine. As Phil Goldman, Tom gave the role his own brand of sexiness and charm. He stars alongside Frances McDormand, Ciaran Hinds and Amy Adams in this Bharat Nalluri's period comedy. Payne relished the opportunity to show his versatility as an actor and his work impressed producer Stephen Garrett: Tom plays a rather dim young man and he brought great charm and charisma to a part that could have been dull, says Garrett. British audiences would probably remember Tom as Brett Aspinall in television drama series Waterloo Road. But he's about to play his most

After making their "Pirates of the Caribbean" theme park ride into a massive blockbusting trilogy, Disney is now considering doing the same thing for "Tomorrowland." The segment of the park will inspire a space flick starring Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson. Writers are Jon Lucas and Scott Moore. Disney, on the other hand, according to Variety, denies the film has been titled "Tomorrowland" or is dedicated to the parks section. Dwayne Johnson is up next in Andy Fickman's "Race to Witch Mountain" alongside Carla Gugino, AnnaSophia Robb, Alexander Ludwig, Ciaran Hinds, Cheech Marin and Tom Everett Scott. He's also lending his voice to the Captain Charles 'Chuck' Baker character ...

Jamie Bell has his best role since "Billy Elliot" in "Mister Foe," a darkly comic tale of a twisted teen on the cusp of adulthood.

When we first meet Bell's Hallam Foe, he's a feral 17-year-old who's exiled himself to a treehouse on his father's Scottish estate. He wears a badger-skin headdress, war paint, and sometimes his late mother's dress.

Hallam passes the time spying on his father (Ciaran Hinds, the devilish Mr. Lockhart in Broadway's "The Seafarer") and his beautiful stepmother

This week's trip to the multiplex offers a jaunt around the globe where, amongst other things, there's a case of mistaken ethnicity in Boston, Nic Cage gets another wig fitted in Thailand, there's whimsy and surrealism in Scotland and Matthew McConaughey is right at home in Malibu, where he might finally have found something he does well, maybe.

"August Evening"

Strained emotional bonds and the transitory nature of the life of an illegal immigrant provide the backdrop for Chris Eska's quietly affecting family drama that stars Pedro Castaneda as an aging farmhand who loses his job at a chicken farm in a sleepy Texas town, forcing he and his devoted daughter-in-law (Veronica Loren) to relocate to San Antonio to stay with his older children and the grandchildren he never knew he had. As Alison Willmore pointed out in last week's Lunchbox, Castaneda is a first-time actor

Irish thespian Ciaran Hinds is tired of reports suggesting he started his acting career at the back end of a pantomime horse - he was at the stage mare's head.

The Munich star made his debut in a production of Cinderella at the Glasgow Citizen's Theatre in Scotland - but he's upset that so many people think he played a horse's ass.

He says, "There's a lot of lies out there. I was actually the front end and, in there, there's dignity. If you're at the back end you have to be bent over and you've got your head in somebody's bum!

"It's become fact that I was the back end and it's down there for posterity that I was the arse (ass) end of the horse, but I was the front end... Obviously people would prefer that I was the back end for some reason!"

Hinds admits one of his most embarrassing moments came as a result of the mix up.

He adds, "I was playing the theatre manager in The Phantom of The Opera and we're sitting in the opera box where we were shooting, when the director, Joel Schumacher, announced to 330 extras, 'We've just found out that you played the back end of a horse!'

"I'd really like for him to know the truth."
