LOS ANGELES, Dec 11 — Kristen Stewart will replace Emma Stone to play opposite Ben Affleck in Focus, a romantic comedy about a couple of con artists, confirmed the actress in an interview with The Huffington Post.

Glenn Ficarra and John Requa ("Crazy, Stupid, Love") will direct the movie, for which they also penned the script.

Focus revolves around a veteran con artist who takes a female apprentice under his wing, which leads to a romantic relationship. Their trade, which requires a substantial amount of lying, causes them to part ways, and the film focuses on their attempt to reconnect later on.

Helmed by Warner Studios, the film will start shooting next April. — AFP-Relaxnews

‘Hobbit’ actor McKellen says has prostate cancer

LONDON, Dec 11 — "The Hobbit" actor Ian McKellen said in an interview published on Tuesday that he had had prostate cancer for the last six or seven years, but added that the disease was not life-threatening.

McKellen, 73, played Gandalf in the hit "Lord of the Rings" movie trilogy, and reprises the role in three prequels based on J.R.R. Tolkien's novel "The Hobbit".

The first of those, "The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey", recently had its world premiere in New Zealand, where it was shot under the directorship of Peter Jackson.

"I've had prostate cancer for six or seven years," McKellen told the Daily Mirror tabloid. "When you have got it you monitor it and you have to be careful it doesn't spread. But if it is contained in the prostate it's no big deal."

His representatives in London were not immediately available to comment on the interview.

"Many, many men die from it but it's one of the cancers that is totally treatable," added McKellen, one of Britain's most respected actors who is also well known in Hollywood for appearances in the X-Men franchise.

"I am examined regularly and it's just contained, it's not spreading. I've not had any treatment."

He admitted he feared the worst when he heard he had the disease.

"You do gulp when you hear the news. It's like when you go for an HIV test, you go 'arghhh is this the end of the road?'

"I have heard of people dying from prostate cancer, and they are the unlucky ones, the people who didn't know they had got it and it went on the rampage. But at my age if it is diagnosed its not life threatening."

"The Hobbit" opens in cinemas later this week. — Reuters
