John Leguizamo has been cast in 20th Century Fox thriller "The Happening," directed by M. Night Shyamalan.

Pic stars Mark Wahlberg as a man who takes his family on the run when a natural disaster threatens to end the world. Leguizamo plays his best friend.

Lensing starts next month in Philadelphia. Fox has scheduled a worldwide release date of Friday, June 13, 2008.

Leguizamo also stars in Spike TV's "The Kill Point," an eight-hour original miniseries that debuts Sunday.

This fall, he appears in the screen adaptation of Gabriel Garcia Marquez's novel "Love in the Time of Cholera," directed by Mike Newell and set to bow Nov. 16.

Also upcoming for Leguizamo is the release of indie "Where God Left His Shoes." Written and directed by Salvatore Stabile, pic -- which garnered buzz at this year's Tribeca Film Festival -- stars Leguizamo as a failed boxer struggling to find a job and apartment for his family on Christmas Eve in New York.

Leguizamo recently wrapped production on two independent films: "The Take," directed by Brad Furman, and "The Babysitters," written and directed by David Ross.

Psst... We Know a Secret

A trustworthy source has told us some plot details, and we couldn't resist passing them on to you. However, in the interests of saving you from spoilers (and there's a pretty big one here!), we're putting the details in white. Highlight... if you dare!!!



From our source:


Something is making people in Philadelphia go crazy and kill themselves, and they can't figure out what it is or why. In one scene, some people are driving through some farm land and they find out (on the radio, maybe?) that it's an airborne virus. Being out in the sticks, they think they're okay, until they drive by a farm and see a bunch of tree surgeons or farmers or something who've hanged themselves with garden hoses. They try to seal up all the air vents, windows, etc. in the car, but it's too late. The car stops, idles for a minute, and then accelerates straight into a tree. The two people in the front seat go through the window and die immediately. John Leguizamo's character was in the back seat and survives... but stumbles out of the car, picks up a shard of glass from the broken window, and slits his wrists.

i swiped it.

my only question is why would someone report that? they pretty much just described a scene with some very specific detail.. is it from the script? did they see them shooting it? it's like jim carrey's character from Liar Liar just HAD to tell us something he knows, without any reason other than "NOW YOU KNOW TOO!"


"LET'S GO!"

I like the extremely vague title.

It's a sequel to "That Time With the Guy at the Place".

[Gamblour.]

I keep thinking it's going to be about performative art gatherings.

[bonanzataz]

i keep thinking it's gonna be a biopic about the supremes.

[MacGuffin]

The poster leads me to believe it's about people who ran out of gas.
