A Perfect Getaway (look closely at the 'scary' hitch hiker) recently out on dvd is Ca$h, starring as Sam Phelan alongside Sean Bean. In Cabin In the Woods he plays Curt Vaughan. The Movie was set to come out in 2010 but due to money woes of MGM studios, the outlook may be bleak. Its at least 'completed' so I hope that's a good sign it will come to theaters, or at least a direct to video. You will see him as Chad in the comedy Ollie Klublershturf vs the Nazis and Playing the lead in the Remake of Red Dawn. (which is another movie troubled by studio problems) Then 'Ye all bow'

Now we have a release date and some insite
July 26, 2013 release date for Thor 2
director Kenneth Branagh will not return to helm the sequel, a new director is being sought
and the selection process is starting soon if not imediately.
Don Pane has already been hired to pen the sequel & has worked on My Super Ex-Girlfriend, Fantastic Four: Rise Of The Silver Surfer, and a handful of The Simpsons episodes.(so hopefully the humor from the first will bridge into the sequel)
The only lock of return actors at this point is Hemsworth. But it is easy to assume Jane, Loki, Odin, Siff and the Warriors Three will return as multi-film deals were signed for many of the actors. (posted July 2) Read More Here (from a previous news announcement)
