While Warner Brothers and Legendary Picture try and figure out who will step up and be the strong male lead in their 300 prequel, titled 300: Battle of Artemisia, they’ve gone out and found who they want to play the female lead.

It’s being reported that negotiations have began with French actress Eva Green for the job, which would see her playing Artemisia, a “ruthless, gold-covered goddess” who pushes the God-king Xerxes to build his massive army.

Some images of Johnny Depp on the set of Tim Burton‘s adaptation of the ’60s Gothic soap opera, Dark Shadows, have shown up online.

In the show Depp plays the vampire Barnabas Collins, and, as you probably expected considering this is another Burton/Depp collaboration, the actor looks pretty wild and outrageous.

This news was reported last week, but if 4th of July festivities kept you a bit out of the loop, Starz announced that they wouldn’t be renewing their original series, Camelot, for a second season.

The reasoning behind the decision is a mixture of things not working out, but the ratings don’t appear to be one of them…at least not primarily. After scoring big numbers in its premiere, ratings did dwindle a bit, but the last few episodes of the first season made an impressive showing and the finale brought in 1.5 million viewers to finish very strong.

One of the reasons the show has been canceled, however, is said to be scheduling conflicts with some of the actors in the cast, which included some top–tier talent like Eva Green and Joseph Fiennes.

Whenever Tim Burton makes a movie, most expect Johnny Depp to be somehow involved. This is once again the case in Dark Shadows, the upcoming movie adaptation of the ’60s TV series where Depp is set to play the lead, Barnabas Collins.

The rest of the cast assembled so far is impressive, including Jackie Earle Haley, Eva Green, and Bella Heathcote, and it looks like it’s about to get even better than that soon. It’s being reported that Michelle Pfeiffer is in talks to take on the role of Elizabeth Collins Stoddard, a powerful woman who has kept herself buried away in her mansion for ten years since the disappearance of her husband. This would of course reunite Pfeiffer with Burton after she played Catwoman for him in 1992’s Batman Returns.

Last month, Latino Review received a scoop that casting for the female lead in the Green Lantern movie had come down to five actresses, and those names were Eva Green, Kerri Russell, Diane Kruger, Blake Lively, and Jennifer Garner. At first glance, Miss Lively would have probably been considered the underdog of the bunch, but it is now being reported that the Gossip Girl star has in fact been cast in the role of Carol Ferris, officially landing her the biggest role of her career and her first chance to really break out as a star. Up to this point, Lively had done work in shows and movies that had young female demographics, so if she nails this, you will be seeing a whole lot more of her in the future.

Ferris becomes the love interest of Hal Jordan after hiring the pilot to work at her father’s aerospace company, which she runs. As we know, Ryan Reynolds will be playing the role of Hal Jordan, who eventually goes on to become the Green Lantern, one of an elite few who wield a special power ring that gives them unique abilities. This of course is the DC Comics adventure that Reynolds is running parallel to his Marvel adventure with Deadpool.
