Lin's STAR TREK 3 Adds 'Kingsman' Co-Star; TRUE DETECTIVE S2 Gets A Teaser

Fans of Kingsman: The Secret Service enjoyed their fair share of watching actress Sofia Boutella light up the screen starting back in Feburary. Nowadays, little is known about her newly reported participation in the tentatively-titled Star Trek 3, but according to Deadline, she's been cast nonetheless.

Chris Pine, Zachary Quinto and Karl Urban are all expected to return among others following the 2009 reboot launch and 2013 sequel, in which our main crew of The Enterprise will surely be on their five-year long mission to seek out new life and new civilizations, and to boldly go...well, you know the rest. Justin Lin is directing the third installment for its expected release dated for July 8, 2016 with a script by returning actor Simon Pegg which is expected to be complete this June.

Lin is also making the rounds with a new teaser for the second season of the HBO series, True Detective (of which he helmed two episodes) starring Rachel McAdams and Colin Firth, which you may view below ahead of its airing this June.

SOUTHPAW Gets A Release Date

It seems these are trying times for the current preproduction of David Ayer's new anti-hero superflick, Suicide Squad as actor Jake Gyllenhaal has since declined to replace Tom Hardy for the role of Rick Flagg among the all-star cast. No need for worry though if boxing dramas are more your speed and you're eager to see the actor in something real soon, because his newest film, Southpaw is on the way, directed by Antoine Fuqua following stellar theatrical run with The Equalizer last September.

Written by Kurt Sutter and Richard Wenk, Gyllenhaal plays Billy Hope, a young, cocky middleweight champion whose promising career and life as a family man are cut short when tragedy strikes, throwing him in a downward spiral with only the help of an amateur trainer with demons of his own, to help him get back on his feet. Much to the film's credit, Gyllenhaal's previous performance in last year's Nightcrawler has gained him some ample recognition which should undoubtedly make Southpaw a contender considering how much the actor immersed himself in this particular role, and if you've seen the photo, it clearly shows.

As such, Deadline is reporting the film's official release now set for July 31, 2015 courtesy of The Weinstein Company. Gyllenhaal will be joined by actor Forest Whitaker and actress Rachel McAdams along with Curtis “50 Cent” Jackson, Rita Ora, Naomie Harris and Victor Ortiz co-star. Stay tuned for more info^
