Jennifer Lopez (Photo: Jamie McCarthy/Getty Images)Jennifer Lopez landed one of her career-first leading roles as a real-life character who got entangled in tragic circumstances. Now Lopez will be following suit in her next film.

The 43-year-old actress and pop star, who played late tejano singer Selena Quintanilla-Pérez in the 1997 biopic, "Selena," has just been cast in the retelling of the Chilean Miners story that captivated the world in 2010. "The 33" is based on the the men who were trapped in a copper and gold mine in Chile when it collapsed, forcing them to spend 69 days stranded over a half mile underground before they were rescued.

Lopez is the latest to be cast in "The 33," which stars Antonio Banderas as Mario Sepulveda, aka "Super Mario" — the man who became the spokesmen for the miners in video messages that surfaced as their plight dominated global media coverage. An international

Ryan Gosling in Radius' 'Only God Forgives'

Fans of "Drive" should rejoice, as the second collaboration between director Nicolas Winding Refn and star Ryan Gosling, "Only God Forgives," looks to be quite the companion piece to the 2011 cult favorite.

Indeed, as our exclusive trailer below shows, all of the pretty colors, cool emotional detachment and retro electronica grooves seem to have been transported from southern California to Thailand for another violent tale of bitter revenge with minimal dialogue.

"I know it's hard for you ... emotionally," says Kristin Scott Thomas's Lady Macbeth-ish underworld matriarch in the new trailer for the film, almost making fun of Gosling's trademark dreamy-yet-vaguely-blank-looks. Gosling then stomps around the seediest areas of Bangkok in search of his brother's killer, a mysterious figure named Chang (Vithaya Pansringarm, sporting his own vaguely-blank-looks as he unsheathes swords and creeps around meticulously art-directed

A new Superman naturally means a new Lois Lane to pair him with. And when the "Man of Steel" producer Christopher Nolan and director Zack Snyder cast four-time Oscar nominee Amy Adams in the role, it was clear that their take on the intrepid reporter would be doing a lot more than hang around waiting to be rescued.

What is a surprise, though, is how the new movie changes the Superman/Lois relationship in a major way — essentially rewriting a fundamental piece of the mythology that's endured for 75 years in comic books, movies, and on TV.

And that's actually a good thing.

SPOILER WARNING: We are about to reveal significant plot elements of "Man of Steel," so if you haven't seen it and want to go in fresh, read no further.

How does "Man of Steel" change things? In the movie, Lois knows Clark Kent is Superman.

Yes, Lois knows Superman's real identity. And it's not just a gimmick. It's a change that both comes organically from the story and strengthens the characters.  Plus, it answers the age-old question, "If Lois Lane is such a brilliant reporter, why can't she recognize a guy just because he's wearing glasses?"

When Seth Rogen and famous friends face the apocalypse in "This Is the End," they will join the ranks of stars who have taken on the challenge of portraying themselves (or versions of themselves) on the big screen.

Hitting that close to home, some have rise to the challenge swimmingly, while others have drowned.

Here's a guide to how an actor stays afloat while playing his favorite character of all.

Witnessing actors brave great heights, explosions and other death-defying stunts is usually rather awe-inspiring. Seeing one fall off his really, really fast horse, on the other hand, is truly terrifying.

The actor who took a very dangerous tumble off his mighty steed was none other than Johnny Depp, who now has quite a story to tell from his time shooting "The Lone Ranger," Disney's latest summer movie extravaganza.

Watch out everyone! $50 movie tickets are coming! (Photo: Paramount Pictures)

How much would you pay to be the first person on your block to see "World War Z"? Paramount Pictures and Regal Cinemas are betting that zombie and/or Brad Pitt fans are willing to dig deep for the chance to see the big budget zombie epic a few days ahead of schedule, to the tune of $50.

A limited number of "mega tickets" have been devised for mega fans. Early screenings of "World War Z" will be held in five cities on June 19, two days before the movie opens wide. Ordinary early tickets for the pre-release screenings will be available for $16.50 ($14.00 for children), already a bit steep for a mid-week showing, but Paramount is also offering their super-sized version for the princely sum of $48.75, which tops off at an even $50 when the $1.25 service fee is included.

So what does that $50 get you? Well, the screening is in RealD 3D, and you'll receive a pair of special collectable custom 3D glasses (which you presumably won't be asked to recycle after the show). You'll also get a full-size copy of a limited edition "World War Z" poster and a HD digital download of the film the day it
