Liv Tyler Joins The Side Effect
Posted by Andru Edwards Categories: Drama, Casting, Celeb News, Upcoming Releases,
Liv Tyler is set to star in medical drama The Side Effect.
The Lord of the Rings actress will play a woman named Catherine Rigby who spends several months alone in space for a global pharmaceutical company, only to find herself inexplicably pregnant in the film, set to be helmed by Ti West. Ted Hope and Peter Phok will produce the picture.
"West is a super-talented, exciting young filmmaker. The role of Rigby is a fantastic character within a great thriller and I am looking forward to sinking my teeth into the part," Liv said, commenting on the role.
Ti is best known for horror films - including Cabin Fever 2: Spring Fever and The House of the Devil - and he says his experience will play part in the new movie: "Although it is still somewhat of a horror film, it is much more psychological than any of my previous efforts. It was essential that I find an actress who could portray a wide range of emotion and always earn the audience's sympathy no matter what the situation. As soon as I sat down with Liv, it was obvious she was the one."

The anticipation of being in the same room as Quentin Tarantino and Eli Roth at SXSW 2010 Film was worth the very long wait in line, but within 20 minutes word had spread that Tarantino and Roth were no shows.
They were both supposed to accompany other notable directors Ti West (The House of the Devil), Ruben Fleischer (Zombieland), Matt Reeves (Cloverfield).
Many people jumped out of line before they could learn that Robert Rodriguez (Planet Terror/The Faculty) and Neil Marshall (Dog Soldiers/The Descent) were going to be the replacements on the panel. When people found out Rodriguez was on the panel the room quickly filled up! Especially since he just debuted the preview for his upcoming movie Predators.

Here’s the latest scoop on the sequel buzz spreading across Hollywood:
Mission Impossible: Even though he could do just about anything he wants these days, Star Trek‘s J.J. Abrams will be returning to familiar territory. Three years after the debut of MI:3, the director has agreed to reteam with Tom Cruise on a fourth installment. (Apparently the actor wasn’t listening when I said he should stay away from this project.) Although they are both only listed as producers at this point, things could change for the busy men once a script is finalized. Paramount is currently aiming for a 2011 release.
