No word yet on cast members. THE NAMES OF additional actors are emerging regularly from Washington, where "AH the President Men" is being filmed. Robert Redford is Bob Woodward and Dustin Hoffman is Carl Bernstein.

Jason Robards is the executive editor, Jack Warden (hilarious in is metropolitan editor and Martin Balsam is managing editor. Frank Wills, the Watergate security guard, is portraying himself.

Zinnemann's last picture was "Day of the Jackal," which had a full measure of the crispness and elegance that people traditionally expect from zinnemann.

Beau was the choice of director Larry Peerce, who had earlier directed him in "The Incident" and "The Stranger Who Looks Like Me." RICHARD LESTER, who is rected by Martin Scorsese; "Clark Gable Slept Here," directed by Mike Nichols, and "The Last Tycoon," produced by Sam Spiegel and directed An by Eiia Kazan. (mnmBimimimiuiit By SCOTT CAIN There seems little danger that Peter Sellers, the hilariously clumsy Inspector Clou-seau, will be upstaged in "Return of the Pink Panther," but nobody can say that Christopher Plummer didn't try. In one scene, Plummer beats up 11 thugs.

Shades of Errol Flynn and Douglas Fairbanks! The same scene, which lasts only 55 seconds, leaves Plum mer enough time to crash through a door, swing from a chandelier rope (what would Hollywood do without run through the leftovers of an Arabian banquet and leap through a closed window. Plummer did all the rough work himself, except for one drop. The action was filmed in a restaurant in Marrakech. After three days of moviemaking there, the place was a shambles, but the owner was compensated handsomely. He reportedly was soothed with a lot of loot and also managed to drop his menus and calling cards in front of the camera several times.

WOULD YOU believe Gemma Craven as "Cinderella?" She's the one who will have the role opposite Richard Chamberlain. REMEMBER George Lazanby? If you do, then you don't need to be reminded that he played James Bond in one picture, "On Her Majesty's Secret Service." People who know that bit of information also had heard that Lazenby has lately been in the Orient making a movie. It's called "The Man From Hong Kong," and the really odd tidbit is that Lazenby gets second billing to an actor named Jimmy Wang Yu. i MICHELANGELO Anto-nioni is already winning awards for "The Passenger." The great director is recipient of the Angelo Rizzoli award given in Italy for best director of the year. Antonioni accepted in person during a ceremony held on the isle of Ischia.

PEOPLE WHO have wondered whether "The Passenger" is their cup of tea ought to see it. By Antonioni standards, it's a fun picture, fast-moving and thrilling. Jack Shooting Starts On 'Sparkle' NEW YORK Principal photography has begun on Warner "Sparkle" starring film newcomers Irene Cara, Lonette McKee and Dwan Smith playing a hot rhythm-and-blues singing group heading for the top of the musical charts in the story written by Joel Schumacher and produced by Howard Rosenman. Sam O'Steen directs the SRO production with Bruce Surtees as cinematographer and Beryl Vertue as executive producer.

Among. Dantes supporting cast are such former favorites as Nancy Kwan, Dean Stockwell, Guy Madison and Gilbert Roland.

WOULD YOU believe that director Tom Gries could not find a single Mexican prison which looked strong enough to be used as a Mexican prison in "Breakout," the new Charles Bronson vehicle? As a result, Gries filmed the pivotal footage at a place called Fort de Bellegarde in the Pyrenees mountains in the south of France. IT'S STATED on behalf of "Posse," in which Kirk Douglas and Bruce Dern have the leading roles, that Douglas had wanted to do a picture with Dern ever since "War Wagon" in 1967. Douglas was impressed with Dern in that picture and had kept in mind the possibility of doing another movie with him. HEIDI BRUHL, who has one of the two principal women's roles in Clint Eastwood's "The Eiger Sanction," has made more than 250 TV appearances in Europe. She's also a recording star.

He is able to encompass Antonioni's ambiguous world and to enliven it at the same time. Maria Schneider dresses abominably, but gives a charming performance, Jenny Runacre as Nicholson's wife looks a lot like Monica Vitti did in earlier Antonioni mysteries. LATEST IN the "Exorcist-cycle is "Beyond the Door." This is the one in which poor Juliet Mills is a possessed woman.

It's claimed that her makeup for key scenes required six hours each day and that she could not eat in the studio cafeteria because her appearance spoiled the appetite of the other diners. The premiere of "Beyond the Door" was held in Houston, which is probably just as well. ACCOUNTANTS tabulated that Gene Hackman's wardrobe in "French Connection II" cost less than $500. The items consisted principally of baggy suits, gaudy Hawaiian shirts and the trademarked pork-pie hats. "THE LADY Vanishes," which, was one of Alfred Hitchcock's funniest and most scary pictures, will be made in a new version.
