Olivia Wilde Goes Old School Glam For LA Times Magazine
Olivia Wilde Goes Old School Glam For LA Times Magazine
Posted July 1, 2011 3:01 am by Molly Goodson
Olivia Wilde transformed into a blond bombshell for LA Times Magazine. The actress and activist posed in a series of sexy sequins gowns for the shoot, though the accompanying interview focuses largely on Olivia's work in Haiti. These days it seems like Olivia's name is in the news being linked to every single man in Hollywood, with the most recent being Ryan Reynolds, but she also has two movies coming out this Summer. Olivia Wildecostars with Ryan Reynolds in The Change-Up and she'll also appear in Cowboys and Aliens, and her director in that film, John Favreau, gushed about her for the article. Here are highlights from Olivia's interview, which is out in full this weekend:
- On balancing work in Haiti and acting: "I was crouched outside this cholera clinic, sitting on a cinder block with my phone [about] to help hand out rice at a refugee camp and figure out how our students can build more classrooms. It was hard for me to be on the ball during that call, but I had to remember that acting is actually my job. Whenever I want to say, 'F--k Hollywood,' I have to remember that the reason I am even useful in Haiti is because I have a job here."
- On helping with a documentary about Haiti: "I don’t throw my weight around, because I don’t think I have the weight to throw around yet. . . . I meekly and politely ask if I can throw in my two cents, and I have been so lucky that they’ve brought me into the writing process. I’m always wandering around on set going, 'Where are the writers?'"
- Jon Favreau on Olivia: "Someone who’s that attractive and talented and smart? Sky’s the limit for her, because that just doesn’t come around that often." http://www.popsugar.com/Olivia-Wilde-LA-Times-Magazine-Pictures-18095200

Trailer for David Cronenberg’s A DANGEROUS METHOD
by Adam Chitwood Posted: June 21st, 2011
The first trailer for director David Cronenberg’s A Dangerous Method has been released, and it’s fantastic. Based on Christopher Hampton’s 2002 play The Talking Cure, the film centers on the relationship between Carl Jung (played by Michael Fassbender), his mentor Sigmund Freud (Viggo Mortensen), and Sabina Spielrein (Keira Knightley), the woman who came between them. The trailer is intense, showcasing what are sure to be some powerhouse performances, as well as a score by Howard Shore. Oh, and there’s sex. Lots of sex. This is Cronenberg after all. Sony Pictures Classics is set to release the film, hopefully sometime this year. Hit the jump to watch the trailer for yourself. http://collider.com/a-dangerous-method-movie-trailer/97866/Trailer for "A Dangerous Method" with Michael Fassbender, Viggo Mortensen and Keira Knightley

James Cameron on "Avatar" Sequels
Posted: June 21st, 2011 by WorstPreviews.com Staff
Fox News caught up with James Cameron and spoke about the upcoming two "Avatar" sequels, which the director will shoot back-to-back and release them in theaters in December of 2014 and December of 2015.
"We're shooting two films back-to-back, so I'm writing two scripts, not one, which will complete a [three]-film story arc – not really a trilogy, but just an overall character arc so I'm pretty excited about that," he said. "We're doing a lot of preliminary work right now on new software and new animation techniques and so on. We're creating a new facility in Manhattan Beach so everybody that's not already dead is coming back."
Cameron also spoke about the pressure of trying to top "Avatar," which became the highest-grossing film of all time with $2.78 billion. "There's always an expectation," he explained. "I had to deal with that after 'The Terminator' back in 1984. All of a sudden I had a big hit movie and it was 'what are you doing next?' But my job is to take the audience on a journey and entertain them."

Naomi Harris Confirms She May be Bond Girl in "James Bond 23"
Posted: June 21st, 2011 by WorstPreviews.com StaffEarlier this month, we heard that Naomi Harris (28 Days Later, Ninja Assassin) has been offered a role in the 23rd James Bond installment. The role is being described as "Daniel Craig's sexy sidekick," which likely means that Harris will be the next Bond Girl.
ShadowAndAct now caught up with the actress to find out if there is any truth to the rumor. "All I can say is I've met the 'Bond' team, I've met Sam Mendes, they're all wonderful," she said. "I've auditioned for 'Bond.' My audition was really great actually because it's so top secret, the whole Bond thing. I hadn't realized how top secret it was. I've auditioned for a lot of things before but never for something where you can't see the script, it's that secret. I auditioned with a scene from 'Quantum of Solace.' You don't know what role you're going up for either, so everybody gets given a scene from a previous 'Bond' movie. I don't know whether it's true or not that I'm going to be an intelligent Bond girl. I don't know at all but I'd like it!"
Mendes is planning to begin filming soon with the goal of releasing the movie in theaters on November 9th, 2012.

Liv Tyler on "The Strangers" Sequel
Posted: June 21st, 2011 by WorstPreviews.com Staff
ComingSoon had the chance to sit down with Liv Tyler and talks about the sequel to "The Strangers," which has been rumored ever since the first film became a hit back in 2008.
"It's strange. I've read the script. It's been around the whole time, but I don't know how real it is," she said. "Bryan [Bertino] isn't directing it, I don't know what's happened with it."
The last time we heard about "The Strangers 2" was last month when NY Knicks star Amar'e Stoudemire revealed that he will be producing the movie with Relativity Media. Tyler was set to reprise her role, but since she barely knows anything, maybe that's not the plan anymore.

New Photos from "Sherlock Holmes" Sequel
Posted: June 21st, 2011 by WorstPreviews.com Staff
Today we have three new photos from the upcoming "Sherlock Holmes" sequel, called "Sherlock Holmes: A Game of Shadows." The new film stars Robert Downey Jr as the title characters, Jude Law as Watson and Jarred Harris as the villainous mastermind Moriarty. Check out the photos below.
Collider caught up with Harris to discuss his role in the sequel. "It's never explained in the story [whether Moriarty knows that he's evil] and I don't really think it needs to be," he said. "But for me, the character's amoral. He's moved beyond the concept of there being a heaven and a hell and a God and a devil, and there being good and evil. He doesn't believe in it. And if you don't believe in that moral construct, then everyone is free to do whatever they want. He's just doing what’s good for him."
"Sherlock Holmes: A Game of Shadows" is once again directed by Guy Ritchie and is set to hit theaters on December 16th.
