The Constant Gardener* British actress Rachel Weisz is repeatedly disappointed when awards bosses fail to nominate her The Constant Gardener co-star Ralph Fiennes, especially when now she has won so many awards. The pregnant beauty won a Golden Globe on Jan. 26 and a Screen Actors Guild (SAG) Award last night for her performance as Tessa Quayle in the gritty drama, but is baffled as to why Fiennes has been ignored.

She says, "It's beyond my comprehension (why Fiennes has been overlooked). "I feel that any award or any acclaim I get I share with him 50-50."

Gaslight* Classic Ingrid Bergman thriller Gaslight is set to hit the big screen again with British filmmaker Joe Wright at the helm. In the 1944 thriller, Charles Boyer played a husband trying to drive his wife (Bergman) to insanity. The new Gaslight will be director Wright's first Hollywood venture. The original movie, set in Victorian England, co-starred Joseph Cotton and a teenage Angela Lansbury in her film debut. It garnered seven Oscar nominations and won two. Cast details for the updated remake, to be set in California, have not been announced.

* Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson is in talks to reprise Clint Eastwood’s role in comedy Every Which Way But Loose. In the 1978 original, Eastwood played a fist-fighting drifter who befriends an orangutan he wins in a bet.

Under Siege* Action man Steven Seagal is set to tackle international terrorists in a third Under Siege movie. The martial arts star is in talks to reprise his Casey Ryback. In the new film, Ryback is sent on a mission to take out Muslim extremists who have taken over a flight from Israel to the United States, according to moviehole.net. Seagal also hopes to produce the third film.
