Eva Longoria Covers 'InStyle' July 2011

Eva Longoria rocks a Michael Kors swimsuit on the cover of InStyle magazine’s July 2011 issue.
Here’s what the 36-year-old Desperate Housewives actress had to share:
On learning about makeup: “I wasn’t allowed to wear makeup when I was young. I would melt crayons and try to put them on my lips, and I would use watercolors for eye shadow.”
On her beauty must-have: “Mascara is very important. If I were on a desert island, I would have to have mascara and lip balm. I’m naturally tan, but I like to use a bronzing powder or something to make my skin look shimmery.”
Her biggest tip for petite figures: “High heels. I love all designer shoes. There’s this pair in my closet by Versace, and they must be 8 inches - crazy tall! I once tried to count how many I had. All I know is that I just donated 60 pairs.”
On her future in television: “I hope Desperate Housewives never ends. I love this job. It’s so fulfilling. But I also love producing and being behind the camera. What’s in front of the camera rarely excites me as much as all of the magic of these people working behind the scenes.”
On her love life: “One thing I did learn is you don’t hold on to the bitterness of the loss; you hang on to the beauty of the love. Remember all the good things. There was a reason you met someone and a reason why you were together.”

Jennifer Aniston Covers 'Marie Claire' July 2011

Jennifer Aniston wears an Ann Demeulemeester jacket and Gucci briefs as she graces the cover of Marie Claire magazine’s July 2011 issue, on newsstands Tuesday (June 31).

Here’s what the 42-year-old Horrible Bosses star had to share with the mag:

On what she spent her first paycheck on: “I spent my first paycheck on a vintage Mercedes. I was struggling a little in New York, working as a waitress at Jackson Hole but not really getting any consistent acting work. Then I moved out here to Los Angeles, and I started getting pilots and working pretty regularly. I still didn’t make any decent money until I got on Friends.”

On what she’d be doing if she weren’t an actor: “Maybe an interior designer. I love seeing a house and thinking about how it should be redone or restored. I spent a lot of time doing my current house, and it’s beautiful…It’s like a beautiful work of art, and I’m very proud of it.”

Emily Blunt: Dark Comedy with Colin Firth

Emily Blunt continues to work on her upcoming comedy Five Year Engagement at The Chop House on Tuesday (May 31) in Ann Arbor, Mich.

The 28-year-old British actress was joined on set by co-stars Jason Segel and Mindy Kaling.

Emily has also reportedly signed on for an untitled dark comedy opposite Colin Firth.

The flick centers around “a man who fakes his own death in an attempt to reinvent himself and meets a woman who is also in the process of trying to escape her old life. They both break into empty houses to steal the identities of the absent owners,” according to THR.

Chelsea Handler Covers 'The Hollywood Reporter'

Chelsea Handler takes the cover of The Hollywood Reporter’s latest issue.

Here’s what the 36-year-old talk show host and author had to share:

On being a self-proclaimed control freak: “I have final say in everything I’m a part of, whether it’s Chelsea Lately or my books and my stand-up. That [kind of power] doesn’t happen a lot. And I didn’t know it didn’t happen until it happened to me and I realized I was the only one.”

On her plans for the future: “The next step for me is not The Tonight Show. That’s a job for Jimmy Fallon. I’m way too divisive for a show like that. I want to do something that’s going to utilize my brain a little more than this show. If Lately is the show that I’m going to do, it’s going to change. But it may turn out that I’m done with it altogether. I can’t keep doing the same thing; my brain is bleeding. I want to do something that’s more mindful and isn’t celebrity-centered. I’m not looking to totally bail on E! They’ve done a lot for me, and I like it here. If you take away the Kardashians.”

Beyonce Covers 'Essence' July 2011

Beyonce looks picture perfect on the cover of Essence’s July issue.

The 29-year-old penned her very first cover story, “Eat, Play, Love,” opening up about how a nine-month break helped inspire her creativity.

Here’s what she shared with the mag: “I had talked about taking a vacation before, but always ended up in the studio after two weeks, so no one believed me. This time, though, I was serious. I was going to give myself a year to do the things I never get to do.”

“Simple things like play with my nephew, pick him up from school, visit museums, go to concerts, see some Broadway shows, learn to cook a meal and spend time with my husband … Yes, I needed some relaxation, but I wanted inspiration too, from regular everyday things,” she added.

Ryan Kwanten Covers 'Da Man' June/July 2011

Ryan Kwanten covers Da Man magazine’s June/July 2011 issue.

Here is what the 34-year-old True Blood actor had to share with the mag:

On the recent vampire phenomenon: “It was always a phenomenon that was hard to conceive, because it was never quite in the mainstream. Yet, these are the shows that brought all these fans together from what used to be considered as a cult, more of a minority, out into public view. And it has become pretty much a mainstream force. I think it’s now in the hands of the audience to demand the trend as it goes now, so I’m happy to be a part of a show like True Blood, which constantly lives up to the expectations of the audience.”

On maintaining his six-pack abs: “To be honest, the physical side of things has always been a part of who I am as a person. My dad is a white-collar worker by day, but as soon as he’s home, he’s out surfing and he’s a very physical father, so I sort of very much follow in his footsteps. The physical side of things is always there, it is not something I do out of vanity, but I do it just to maintain my own sanity—to be honest.”

On being considered a sex symbol: “It’s hard to fully accept the title with complete and utter humility. It’s obviously not my goal to have this title, but if someone wants to give it, hey I’m all for it, you know. But, at the end of the day, I’m an actor and if that’s what comes out of it, that’s great; that’s more of a byproduct of something that I’m trying to achieve.”

2 New Images from FRIGHT NIGHT including First Official Look at David Tennant as Peter Vincent

by Matt Goldberg    Posted: May 11th, 2011 at 7:15 am

 

Last September, a set photo of David Tenannt in Craig Gillespie’s remake of Fright Night went online.  This week, DreamWorks/Disney are going to be making a major push on the film and they’re kicking it off with the first official image of Tennant as Las Vegas stage magician Peter Vincent.  I’m not sure how Vincent factors into the remake, but in the 1985 original, he was midnight movie host who proclaimed to be a vampire hunter and whose services were called upon by teenager Charlie Brewster to combat Charlie’s bloodsucking new neighbor.
Hit the jump to check out the image of Tennant along with a new image of Charlie (Anton Yelchin) and his mother (Toni Collette).  Be sure to keep checking back this week for more Fright Night stuff as we’ll be posting Steve’s report from the film’s editing bay as well as the first trailer.  Fright Night also stars Colin Farrell, Christopher Mintz-Plasse, and Imogen Poots.  The film opens in 3D on August 19th.

Cannes Casting Call: Firth and Blunt to Star in Dark Comedy; Holmes to Star in RESPONSIBLE ADULTS; Quaid Joins THE WORDS; 4 Board IDEA IN AMERICA

by Matt Goldberg    Posted: May 11th, 2011 at 7:56 am

As the Cannes Film Festival heats up, plenty of casting deals are getting done.  We’ve combined some of the latest casting stories into one handy article for your viewing pleasure.  First up, Colin Firth and Emily Blunt have signed on to star in a dark comedy from director Dante Ariola and written by Becky Johnston.  According to Deadline, “Firth plays a man who hates his job and is hated by his ex-wife and son. Feeling he missed his one shot at living the dream, he fakes his death and buys a new identity. Along the way he meets a woman (Blunt) who is also trying to leave her past behind. The pair break into empty homes and pose as the absent owners. The two find a kindship despite all the lying.”  I’m a little giddy at the thought of Firth and Blunt playing off each other so hopefully we’ll see this project sooner rather than later.

New Details on Walter Hill’s HEADSHOT; Another 80s Throwback for Stallone

by Matt Goldberg    Posted: May 11th, 201 at 8:27 am

New details have emerged on Walter Hill’s upcoming action flick Headshot starring Sylvester Stallone and Thomas Jane.  As we previously reported, the story centers on a hitman (Stallone) and an NYPD detective (Jane) who team up to exact revenge.  According to What’s Playing, the film will be, much like Stallone’s The Expendables, a throwback to 80s buddy action flicks.  Hill reportedly signed on for the flick because it reminded him of the films he used to make like 48 Hrs. and Red Heat.  WP also says that Hill has fine-tuned Alessandro Camon’s script and improved the “cool” dialogue and central relationship between Stallone and Jane’s characters.
I desperately hope that this film is better than Expendables and having Hill behind the camera gives me that hope.  However, it’s interesting/sad that ever since 2006’s Rocky Balboa, Stallone has essentially acknowledged that he’s a relic and that the only way his stardom can continue is if he can transport audiences back to when he was actually a star.

Fox Passes on LOCKE & KEY Series, Will Retool Ethan Hawke’s EXIT STRATEGY

by Ethan Anderton    Posted: May 11th, 2011 at 9:47 am

Last night came a barrage of news from the Fox network with infuriating news of cancellation of The Chicago Code, Lie to Me and many more along. Of course, out with the “bad” and in the with the hopefully good meant that J.J. Abrams Alcatraz got picked up along with a few other new series for the fall. Well, now we have word on a couple of shows that didn’t quite make the cut as EW learned yesterday that the network passed on Locke & Key, the adaptation of the comic book series from Joe Hill. Despite having names like Steven Spielberg, Alex Kurtzman and Roberto Orci behind it, apparently the pilot just didn’t deliver. There was talk of a limited series maybe coming together instead of a full fledged series, but those hopes have since been dashed by Deadline.
In addition, it appears that another series at Fox, Exit Strategy starring Ethan Hawke, may be retooled in order to be picked up later. The potential series would focus on a team of five experts associated with the CIA and led by Hawke who are deployed when an operation goes bad to extract those in danger before it’s too late. Fox executives apparently thought there was too much action and not enough character development and substance, so there’s a chance it could still get ordered to series down the road. There will be plenty more news on new Fox series and other networks attempts for fall television coming soon so stay tuned.

Abigail Breslin Also In Contention To Star In The Hunger Games


published: 2011-03-03 08:05:29 Author: Will LeBlanc
We reported yesterday that Jennifer Lawrence was reportedly joining Hailee Steinfeld in serious consideration to play Katniss Everdeen in The Hunger Games, Lionsgate's planned adaptation of the young adult novel series that they're hoping will be the next Twilight. Now Variety is adding a third name to the list, and yet another Oscar nominee: Abigail Breslin.


Lawrence is apparently still in the lead, but the studio still hasn't decided if they want the character to play younger or older. If they go with Lawrence she may play too old by the time they get to the third book as she already looks older than her 20 years. Breslin or Steinfeld would grow into the role, and since Steinfeld is working of a recent Oscar nom, expect her to land it if she wants it.


The Hunger Games, which is set for a release date in March 2012, will be based on the first novel in Suzanne Collins's trilogy of books. The story is set in a destroyed North America run by the Capitol. Every year a boy and a girl are selected to participate in the Hunger Games where they must fight to the death as entertainment for the Capitol. Our hero, Katniss, volunteers to enter the games in place of her younger sister and this is where our story begins.


Hunger Games is a trilogy of novels so this could potentially be a big break for an up and coming young actress, not unlike the role of Lisbeth Salander in David Fincher’s Girl With the Dragon Tattoo, except it plays younger. More on this as they near production.

Emily Blunt: Going Blonde for 'Looper'

Emily Blunt leaves the gym on Thursday (March 3) after a workout in West Hollywood.
The 28-year-old British actress has been lightening her locks for her role in the upcoming thriller Looper!
“I had to dye my hair blonde for my next project, and there was a newspaper article saying, ‘She’s gone so LA’. Why, because I’ve gone blonde? There’s plenty of blondes in Australia and England,” Emily told Australia’s Herald Sun, adding that she’s living in L.A. because hubby John Krasinski works on The Office in town.

Tom Cruise & Jeremy Renner Follow 'Ghost Protocol'

Tom Cruise and Jeremy Renner continue to film for Mission Impossible 4: Ghost Protocol on Wednesday (March 2) in Vancouver, Canada.
According to a blog post, a band called By Starlight was playing in Vancouver and abruptly stopped due to a conflict with the shooting of Mission Impossible 4. “The PA offered the band $500 to stop playing because it was interfering with filming. The band took the money and everyone went home,” the blogger alleged.
However, according to the venue’s manager, Jeff Cawston, “There was no issue whatsoever. The bands were made very much aware of the situation when they booked the venue. The story is not true. The bands played until one o’clock in the morning and everything was good.”

Judd Apatow Talks About Continuity of KNOCKED UP Spinoff and PEE-WEE HERMAN Sequel
by Brendan Bettinger Posted: March 1st, 2011 at 9:29 pm


Judd Apatow will spend a good portion of his near future with familiar characters. He signed on to produce the new Pee-wee Herman movie, the culmination of Paul Reubens’ revival tour of the 1980s character. More to my interest, Apatow is writing and directing a new feature based on the characters played by Leslie Mann and Paul Rudd in Knocked Up, scheduled for release June 1, 2012.


The Venice Family Clinic honored Apatow with a humanitarian award last night, where he discussed what makes these characters worth revisiting, and how to address the continuity issues that might arise in each property. Read what he had to say after the jump.

Disney Developing Theme Park Ride JUNGLE CRUISE into Starring Vehicle for Tom Hanks and Tim Allen
by Matt Goldberg Posted: March 2nd, 2011 at 11:47 am


Disney is hoping that the voice-chemistry Tom Hanks and Tim Allen have in the Toy Story movies will translate into live-action gold. Deadline reports that the studio is transforming their adaptation of the theme park ride “Jungle Cruise” into a family flick starring the two actors. No director is currently attached, but the studio has hired Robert S.H. Schulman (Shrek) to pen the script. Mandeville’s David Hoberman and Todd Lieberman (The Fighter) will produce.


Hanks just started shooting on Stephen Daldry’s adaptation of Extremely Loud and Incredibly Close. He’s also attached a family film based on the Mattel toy Major Matt Mason, Kathryn Bigelow’s international crime drama Triple Frontier, and an adaptation of David Mitchell’s Cloud Atlas. As for Allen, he recently signed on to star in the ABC comedy pilot The Last Days of Man.

David Koepp to Work on MEN IN BLACK III Script
by Matt Goldberg Posted: March 2nd, 2011 at 1:12 pm


Production on Barry Sonnenfeld’s Men in Black III went into its planned hiatus last November to handle issues with the script. That hiatus was set to finish in February, but was recently pushed back to March 28th. According to Deadline, blockbuster scribe David Koepp (Spider-Man) has been brought in to work on the script for the next several weeks.


The story for the third involvement involves the movie’s villain (Jemaine Clement) traveling back in time to kill Agent K (Tommy Lee Jones), but that assassination will set off a chain of events that will destroy the world. Agent J (Will Smith) must travel back in time to protect Agent K and the universe. Etan Cohen (Tropic Thunder) wrote the original draft of the script, and then Jeff Nathanson (Rush Hour 2) was brought on board to punch up the time-traveling scenes. There are no details on what parts of the script require Koepp’s attention, but Sony insists that the 3D film will make its May 25, 2012 release date. The movie also stars Rip Torn, Alice Eve, Emma Thompson, and Josh Brolin.

Alison Brie Joins Emily Blunt and Jason Segel in Nicholas Stoller’s FIVE-YEAR ENGAGEMENT
by Matt Goldberg Posted: March 2nd, 2011 at 2:45 pm


Community star Alison Brie has joined Emily Blunt and Jason Segel in the upcoming relationship comedy Five-Year Engagement. The movie charts the very long engagement of a couple played by Blunt and Segel. Segel co-wrote the script with director Nicholas Stoller (Forgetting Sarah Marshall). Judd Apatow and Shauna Robertson will produce.


According to Variety, Brie will play the sister of Blunt’s character and will put on an English accent for the role. While Community may not have the killer ratings of other network shows, I have no doubt that it’s a launching pad for its cast members, particularly Brie and co-star Donald Glover. Fans of Community know that Brie kills at comedy, but her work on Mad Men shows that she’s equally adept at more dramatic fare. She’ll next be seen in theaters in Wes Craven’s Scream 4.

Exclusive: Emily Blunt on Why She Hasn’t Done a Superhero Movie

by Adam Chitwood    Posted: February 23rd, 2011

Whenever a big superhero project is announced, whether it be Zack Snyder’s Man in Steel reboot, Christopher Nolan’s The Dark Knight Rises, or pretty much just any big budget movie involving crime-fighting and costumes, an inevitable “short-list” of actresses pops up full of names that are being considered to take on the female lead role in the film. This list usually has the same 5 or 6 actresses on it, and most of the time Emily Blunt’s name is included. Such big budget films that Blunt’s name has been attached to include Captain America: The First Avenger and Iron Man 2, just to name a few.

Steve recently had the chance to sit down with the actress doing press for her new film The Adjustment Bureau.  Towards the end of the interview, he asked her if she thinks she’ll ever be in a Marvel movie, given her frequency on their short-lists.  While some try and deflect these kinds of questions, Blunt was very honest with her answer.  For more, hit the jump:

THE KING’S SPEECH Director Tom Hooper May Next Tackle LES MISERABLES; Was Offered IRON MAN 3

by Adam Chitwood    Posted: February 23rd, 2011

Director Tom Hooper is currently in the last leg of the award season circuit for his Oscar juggernaut The King’s Speech. The film is poised to be a big winner come Sunday night, and there’s also a very good chance Hooper will walk away with the Best Director award (he won the DGA last month). Well now he’s starting to look ahead to his next project, and he might be taking on yet another decidedly European tale: a new version of the classic novel/Broadway musical Les Miserables.

24 Frames reports that the director is weighing an offer to helm a big-budget musical version of the story. Working Title, which also produced Atonement, is producing the film. More interesting, however, is a mention in the report that Hooper was offered the directing gig for Marvel’s Iron Man 3 before turning it down (Writer/director Shane Black eventually landed the job). A bold choice, I’d say, given that the director is decidedly fresh, with only a few low-key dramas under his belt. What do you think? Should Hooper follow up his Oscar-bait turn with Les Mis? Would he have been right for IM3?

Patrick Wilson and James Marsden in Talks for LOFT

by Brendan Bettinger    Posted: February 23rd, 2011

Patrick Wilson and James Marsden are the cream of the crop for on-screen nice guys.  So obviously if they join forces, it will be a very dark and disturbing movie.  Variety reports that Wilson and Marsden are in talks to star in the indie thriller Loft, a remake of a 2008 Belgian film directed by Erik Van Looy.  Loft is a whodunit about five men who posess the only keys to a penthouse apartment designed for their adulterous needs.  The timeshare setup is strained when one friend discovers a dead woman shackled to the bed.  Van Looy will return to direct the English-language version of his film from an adapted script by Wesley Strick (A Nightmare on Elm Street).  Anonymous Content hopes to get Loft in front of cameras before the end of the year.

Hit the jump for the synopsis and trailer for the Belgian original.

Rian Johnson’s highly anticipated film Looper is currently shooting in New Orleans and some videos of the set have recently hit the web. Johnson’s previous two films, 2005’s Brick and 2009’s The Brothers Bloom were both outstanding and I think it’s safe to say fans are itching to see what he has in store for us next. The sci-fi flick stars Joseph Gordon-Levitt, Bruce Willis and Emily Blunt and concerns hitmen (“loopers”) who use time-travel to cover the tracks of their murders. Hit the jump to check out the videos, and if you missed them, be sure to check out the set images from a few weeks back. http://collider.com/looper-set-video/77100/

Matt Damon & Emily Blunt Cover 'Men's Health' March 2011

Matt Damon and Emily Blunt share the cover of Men’s Health magazine’s March 2011 issue!

Here’s what the actors, who star in The Adjustment Bureau, had to share with the mag:

Matt, on close friend Ben Affleck: “When one of us comes up with an absolutely…horrible idea…the other person, without batting an eyelash, says, ‘That’s a terrible idea.’”

Emily, on working with Matt: “I met Matt and he was lovely and very funny, and instantly, I thought, ‘Oh, we could be like teenage boys together. Just be weird and stupid and silly.’”

Matt, on starring opposite Emily: “There are a lot of great actresses her age right now, but Emily is just…unbelievable.”

FYI: The duo also covers the mag’s Style Special - Matt is wearing a Ralph Lauren Black Label suit, shirt, and tie, while Emily is wearing a Christian Siriano dress!

Ashley Greene & Shiloh Fernandez: 'Skateland' Trailer!

Check out the trailer for Ashley Greene and Shiloh Fernandez’s indie drama Skateland, out March 25.

Synopsis: Ritchie Wheeler (Fernandez), Michelle Burkham (Greene), and wise-cracking lady-killer Kenny Crawford (Taylor Handley) struggle with the collapse of their tumultuous home lives, the alcohol-induced idling of reckless adolescence, and the wane of their hometown hangout, the local roller rink. A story syncopated with moments of violent turbulence, of heartbreak and of new beginnings, Skateland shows the brutal, but beautiful vastness of East Texas blue skies and the emotional claustrophobia of the Bible belt. Skateland is a place where aging values wrestle with contemporary pop culture to create a paradoxical balance between old and new.

WILL YOU WATCH watch Ashley Greene and Shiloh Fernandez’s new movie?

Jude Law Boards Fernando Meirelles' 360

published: 2011-02-15 21:07:49 Author: Mack Rawden
Production is finally beginning on the long-anticipated Fernando Meirelles drama 360, and the high profile names attached to the picture are only becoming more numerous. Jude Law has now officially joined the cast, adding to the already stellar lineup of Anthony Hopkins, Rachel Weisz, Maria Flor and Karl Markovic. The talent is certainly there. Now it's just up to everyone to execute.

According to 02 Films, preproduction has already begun and principal photography will start March 21st and run through the end of May. The comprehensive story written by Peter Morgan of The Last King Of Scotland fame follows an expansive number of individuals as they make choices that ultimately effect not only their relationships but locations. Seven languages will be used at one point or another and shooting will take place in Paris, Vienna and Bratislava.

It's important for any film to gain critical acclaim, but it's especially important for a film like 360. With a nuanced product and multiple languages, it's going to take positive word of mouth to make the average American fork over his or her money. It worked for Babel; let's see if it'll work for 360.

Watch 6 Minutes Of The Adjustment Bureau

published: 2011-02-15 17:06:42 Author: Josh Tyler
If you’re not interested in seeing The Adjustment Bureau now, maybe you will be after watching these clips. From the trailers you know that the film seems a little bit like Dark City meets Inception, the story of a man (Matt Damon) who attempts to deviate from the path laid out for his life, only to discover that the hand of fate is a very real thing (comprised of guys wearing cool hats) and it isn’t happy about his choices. But these clips hint at something more.

Maybe I’m just reading into this, but a couple of these clips seem to indicate there’s an almost religious element to what’s going on, as if Matt Damon is in a fight against the almighty Jehovah himself. Religious people will find comfort in the idea that there really is someone out there, keeping an eye on them, and non-religious people are sure to cheer for the idea of someone sticking it to that bearded bastard up in the sky. If that’s what’s really going on here. Watch the clips and tell me what you think is up with The Adjustment Bureau in the comments below.

Is D.J. Caruso The Next In Line For The Preacher Director's Chair?

published: 2011-02-14 17:56:27 Author: Eric Eisenberg

Fans of the Garth Ennis/Steve Dillon comic series Preacher have been waiting years to see a movie adaptation, but their wishes have never been fulfilled. The project saw plenty of false stars in 2010, with Sam Mendes, Darren Aronofsky and Joe Carnahan all being linked to the project, but nothing has ever stuck (Mendes is now doing Bond 23, Aronofsky is doing The Wolverine and Carnahan is making The Grey). Now another rumor is putting yet another director in the big chair.
SlashFilm has gotten word from an unnamed source that D.J. Caruso, whose newest film, I Am Number Four, gets released this week, is now in talks to take on Preacher. Adapted by Big Fish and Go screenwriter John August, the series tells the story of an ex-preacher named Jesse Cutter who becomes possessed by a supernatural creature that gives him the power of God. After learning that God has abandoned heaven, Jesse goes on the road searching for him, and is accompanied by his ex-girlfriend and a vampire named Cassidy.

Having read a few of the books, I can't say that I'm too surprised that this project has been stuck in development hell for so long. The stories have some seriously graphic content that some studios would definitely balk at. To that same idea, I'm not sure if Caruso is the right man for the gig. While his early films, like The Salton Sea and Taking Lives have some of those elements, Caruso has largely been making PG-13, teen-oriented films since 2007. Perhaps he's ready to get back to his roots.
