Isla is still hard at work on the set of The Great Gatsby in Sydney, and we finally have more photos from the set! Isla was snapped looking colourful in full costume last week, and was filming a scene with a rather scary looking Joel Edgerton, who plays Tom Buchanan, the man Myrtle has an affair with, and Tobey Maguire. She was also seen chatting with Baz Luhrmann, Tobey Maguire and some of the other cast/crew. These are great photos – I love seeing her in Catherine Martin’s fabulous costumes, and alongside her co-stars and director! I think Isla is going to be a scene-stealer as Myrtle…

Sir Michael Caine is the newest name to join Louis Leterrier’s heist movie Now You See Me.
The British star is the latest addition to the star-studded cast, which already includes Mark Ruffalo, Jesse Eisenberg, Morgan Freeman, Isla Fisher, Melanie Laurent and Woody Harrelson, reported Moviehole.
Sir Michael – whose last screen outing was in Inception – is said to be playing Arthur Tressler, a magician’s sponsor.
The thriller, written by Prince Of Persia: The Sands Of Time’s Boaz Yakin and Edward Ricourt, follows an FBI squad who get caught in a game of cat-and-mouse against a super team of great illusionists, who pull off a number of daring bank heists during their performances and offer the profits to their audiences.
Now You See Me is set for a release in cinemas in January 2013.
Sir Michael, who lent his voice to Gnomeo And Juliet and Cars 2, will next be seen in Journey 2: The Mysterious Island and Christopher Nolan’s The Dark Knight Rises.

Summit Entertainment appears to be moving ahead on a “Red” sequel, setting an Aug. 13, 2013 release date.
The minimajor dated the second installment Tuesday. Sony’s already dated a “Smurfs” sequel for the same slot.
“Red” grossed $90 million domestically last year with Bruce Willis, Morgan Freeman, John Malkovich and Helen Mirren starring as former CIA agents who are classified as “Red” — retired, extremely dangerous.
Jon and Erich Hoeber were signed earlier this year to pen a sequel.
Summit also announced release dates for four other films, two for next year and two for 2013.
It’s launching vampire drama “Warm Bodies” on Aug. 10 and Scott Derrickson suspenser “Sinister” on Aug 24. The minimajor has also moved “Step Up 4″ forward two weeks from Aug. 10 to July 27, when it will launch against Fox’s comedy “Neighborhood Watch.”
“Bodies” will face competition from Warner’s political comedy “Rivals.” Sinister” will open against Sony’s “Premium Rush.”
Summit will open “Now You See Me,” starring Isla Fisher and Jesse Eisenberg, on Jan. 18, 2013, and Gavin Hood sci-fier “Ender’s Game” two months later on March 15. “Now You See Me” will open against Disney’s “Monsters, Inc.” and Lionsgate’s “The Last Stand” while “Ender’s Game” will face competition from Warner’s “Arthur & Lancelot.”

When it comes to Baz Luhrmann’s The Great Gatsby, all that glitters is Tiffany & Co. The New York-based jeweler announced that it inked a deal with Warner Bros. Pictures and Bazmark (Luhrmann’s production company) to be the fine jeweler for the hotly anticipated 3D film.
The retelling of F. Scott Fitzgerald’s 1925 literary classic, starring Leonardo DiCaprio and Carey Mulligan (reprising the roles played by Robert Redford and Mia Farrow in 1974), will showcase spectacular platinum-set diamonds and endless strands of pearls to complement the Jazz Age drop-waist dresses and pinstriped three-piece suits by costume designer Catherine Martin. The two-time Academy Award winning costumer designer (2001′s Moulin Rouge!), was drawn to the jeweler because F. Scott Fitzgerald himself was a Tiffany & Co. customer and Louis Comfort Tiffany, the brand’s first design director, ran with the Long Island social circles portrayed in the story.
In addition to jewels, WWD reports that Tiffany & Co. will supply china, sterling flatware and other home accessories for the interior of Jay Gatsby’s lavish Long Island estate. “The Tiffany & Co. archives have proven to be an invaluable resource in looking back at this Golden Era of affluence and fine jewelry,” says Martin. “We have both created and recreated pieces that we hope will do justice to this extraordinary novel.”
DiCaprio and Mulligan recently started shooting the 3D film along with Tobey Maguire and Isla Fisher in Australia. It won’t hit theaters until 2012, but 1920s-inspired styles are already heating up as seen on the spring/summer 2012 runways at Marc Jacobs, Ralph Lauren and Alberta Ferretti’s Philosophy.

Leonardo DiCaprio, Carey Mulligan, Joel Edgerton, Isla Fisher and Tobey Maguire star in the Warner Bros. remake, which is being shot in 3D.
Warner Bros. announced Friday it will release Baz Luhrmann’s Leonardo DiCaprio starrer The Great Gatsby on Dec. 25, 2012 — the same day DiCaprio’s Django Unchained is set to open.
It’s unusual to have two films starring the same actor launching on the same date, but since Dec. 25, 2012, is more than a year away, the Christmas Day calendar could change.
Great Gatsby, based on F. Scott Fitzgerald’s classic novel, stars DiCaprio as Jay Gatsby, Carey Mulligan as Daisy Buchanan and Tobey Maguire as Nick Carraway. Joel Edgerton, Isla Fisher, Jason Clarke, Amitabh Bachchan and Elizabeth Debicki also star.
Luhrmann is currently shooting the film in Australia; Quentin Tarantino’s Western Django, from Dimension Pictures, hasn’t started production yet.
The 1974 film The Great Gatsby was directed by Jack Clayton and starred Robert Redford, Mia Farrow, Bruce Dern, Karen Black, Scott Wilson and Sam Waterston.

Kirsten Dunst: I love Isla Fisher!
Kirsten Dunst has declared she “loves” Isla Fisher after they starred together in Bachelorette.
The Melancholia star teamed up with the funnywoman and Lizzy Caplan in the indie comedy, where they play best friends who are invited to act as bridesmaids at the wedding of a girl they called Pigface in high school.
“I love her, she’s amazing. We had the best time,” she said.
“Also Lizzy Caplan was in the film and us three girls got along so well. We had a great time together.”
Kirsten added: “We just finished last week. We worked really long hours and really hard because it’s an independent film so we didn’t have a lot of time to shoot. It was very quick.”
There may also be a title amendment: “I think we’re going to change the title.”
Next up for the 29-year-old actress is Upside Down opposite British actor Jim Sturgess.
Kirsten has high praise for her leading man, saying: “Jim is lovely, he’s so easy. He’s such a nice guy – very normal, chilled, a very special actor, really good guy.”
:: Melancholia is in cinemas now.

Here’s advance word from Joel Edgerton, who’s winning raves along with Tom Hardy for their performances in “Warrior”: “I’ll be playing Tom Buchanan. We really went deep into preproduction and rehearsals. We did a really lovely workshop in New York with all of the actors, Leonardo DiCaprio, Tobey Maguire, Carey Mulligan and Isla Fisher. Baz is the perfect person to take this book on. Fitzgerald has such a great descriptive language and then you need a filmmaker who has a visual language that will match that poetry. I think Baz will do that. He cares so much about this book. I hope it will be great, as the book implies.”

Woody reunites with Jesse on screen
Woody Harrelson is in talks to join his Zombieland co-star Jesse Eisenberg in magician heist thriller Now You See Me.
The Rampart star would join Jesse, Morgan Freeman, Mark Ruffalo, Isla Fisher and Melanie Laurent in the film about The Four Horsemen, a team of the world’s greatest illusionists who pull off daring bank heists during their performances and shower their audience with the profits.
Woody would play Merritt Osbourne, a mentalist and hypnotist known for his Jedi-style mind tricks, Variety reports.
Merritt won fame performing for the Queen, but was forced to flee to Las Vegas and joined the Four Horsemen after a stunt went horribly wrong.
Jesse will play the arrogant but genius leader of the Four Horsemen and Isla a master technician who builds the contraptions needed to create the illusions.
Mark will play the head of the FBI team investigating the heists, while Morgan will play a former magician who advises the FBI on how the tricks were pulled off and Melanie one of the federal agents.
Louis Leterrier is directing the film.
Woody has already won rave reviews for his portrayal of a corrupt LAPD officer in Rampart, which will be shown at the BFI London Film Festival next month.
