Colin Firth To Play A Vampire In Next Film?

Colin Firth is already planning his next project after winning his first Oscar for The King´s Speech.

According to the News of the World the actor is willing to try something completely different and has signed to play a vampire in in horror film Stoker, a movie based on Bram Stoker´s Dracula.

 The film will also feature Mia Wasikowska (Alice In Wonderland) as India Stoker, with a script written by Wentworth Miller (Prison Break).

 Firth is set to play India´s vampire uncle who presumably kills his victims in a very sadistic way.

Sources describe the role as "miles away from the comedies he's famous for. It's dark, modern and creepy. He's going out on a limb with this part."

The cast could also include Nicole Kidman as she is rumoured to be in talks for the part of India´s mum.

Sounds interesting and we know Firth has the talent to make it believable.

Renee Zellweger Set To Do 'Bridget Jones 3'

 According to The Sun, actress Renee Zellweger has agreed to do a third Bridget Jones film, just as long as she does not have to put on any weight to play the title character.

 Apparently the opening scene of the movie would show Jones stepping on to some scales and showing all the weight loss.

 Sources close to Zellweger have claimed that "Renee had no reservations about saying yes once she found out she wouldn't have to get fat. She hated having to do that in the last two films."

 On the other hand Colin Firth, who recently won an Oscar for his performance on The King´s Speech and played Bridget´s love interest in the two films, has expressed his willingness to return to the role for the potential sequel as well.
