BIG AdminAccording to the latest information, actors Brendan Fraser (The Mummy, Gods and Monsters) and Dominic Purcell (Blade: Trinity) are the two principal candidates for the role.
According to Cinescape, Eric Bana, who played the role in 2003, has decided that he no longer wants to be associated with the Bruce Banner character.
The film, which is currently using the title The Incredible Hulk, is expected to reach theatres in 2008. No director has been named to the project as yet.
Lennox, who was part of the musical group the Eurythmics, was thrilled at the honour, although she wasn’t sure that she was worthy to be in a class of people who have all been professional and classically trained. Lennox said, "What I have done with my life has all been about self-invention and I didn’t have degrees or qualifications or anyone to guide me and I still work very much in that way."
Annie Lennox, 51, who is from Scotland herself, added that she is excited to see so much young talent coming from her native land.
Glamour magazine is reporting that the star’s tension began from some of her difficult film roles. Last February, the 38 year-old entered a Texas treatment centre, where she spent 47 days. Judd revealed, "I needed help. I was in so much pain."
As a child, Judd was often adjusting to different towns and cultures, and was a student at 12 different schools by the age of 13. The actress was raised by her mother after her parents separated at the age of 4. Judd’s mother, Naomi, was a country music star along with her sister, Wynonna.
The treatment has helped Ashley Judd, and the star explains that her marriage to race-car driver Dario Franchitt, 33, is also much stronger. She added, "I was unhappy, and now I’m happy. Now, even when I’m having a rough day, it’s better than my best day before treatment."
According to Contactmusic, Friend says that the English actress seems distant, and, "she never comes home".
At the London premier of her film Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Man’s Chest, the 21 year-old star revealed that she has no immediate plans to marry her boyfriend. Jealousy may be to blame, as Friend is reportedly not happy with Knightley’s on-screen kisses with both of her co-stars, Johnny Depp and Orlando Bloom.
Knightley told reporters, "I’m going to take time off because of myself, mainly, not because of him. Let’s see how things go there."
The Iraeli-born actress has agreed to total nudity for a torture scene in the film. Goya’s Ghosts is a drama about the life of artist Francisco Goya. Portman will play the artist’s muse, Alicia.
This is not the first time that Portman performed in the nude for a movie. The young star filmed nude scenes for the film Closer, which also starred Jude Law, Julia Roberts and Clive Owen. The scenes, however, were cut before the movie made it to theatres.
Goya’s Ghosts is expected to be in theatres in the fall of 2007.
The 25 year-old star of television’s Simple Life, wants to name her children after her favourite places in the world, including Paris. She explained, "I want a large family but I haven’t found the guy." She added, "I wanna name them London and Paris and I was thinking China."

Following months of speculation, the 62 year-old musician has announced that he will play the father of Captain Jack Sparrow, the character played by actor Johnny Depp. Depp said that he had based his character’s mannerisms from Richards, so it made sense to cast the actual man himself in the role of his father.
Filming for Pirates will begin next month in California.
Keith Richards is now very busy after a two-month absence. While on holiday in Fiji, the guitarist fell from a tree. The accident required brain surgery for Richards.
