Emma Stone Covers 'Elle' July 2011

Emma Stone pairs a Versace ostrich feather dress and a Lanvin necklace on the cover of Elle magazine’s July 2011 issue, on newsstands Tuesday (June 21).

On having braces and wearing glasses while growing up: “And I sucked my thumb until I was 11, so I had this expander in. I was a good-looking kid. I never felt, like, dorky. I was just like, ‘Yup, these are my braces. I’ve had them forever.’”

On her obsession with Farmville: “I got to level 42, and I wasn’t doing anything else anymore, so I had to stop.”

On her career: “It’s so funny how different life could have been. I went to so many auditions. I remember my audition for Heroes. I went in right after Hayden Panettiere. Now here we are in this rented house. It feels like it just happened.”

Alex O'Loughlin: 'Emmy' Cover with 'Hawaii Five-0' Cast!

Alex O’Loughlin and his Hawaii Five-0 co-stars, Grace Park, Daniel Dae Kim, and Scott Caan, hit the cover of emmy’s “For Your Consideration” issue.

Here’s what the cast had to share with the mag:

Alex on his character, Steve McGarrett: “This character is a cool cat. He’s got that Jason Bourne-Jack Bauer thing, where he has his own moral code. And I love the action stuff! I’m not a stuntman, but I’m athletic, and [as McGarrett] I like hanging people off buildings and tying them to the hoods of cars and then driving really fast.”

Scott on deciding to sign on for the CBS series: “My first instinct was no. I have no desire to do just a straight procedural. This is my job and I’m doing it with full passion. If it runs twelve seasons, I’ll be I my forties, and I can parlay it into whatever I want, you know?”

Daniel on showing a different side: “That people see that Jin [from Lost] was actually a character, and not who I was, is meaningful to me. I loved my experience on Lost and I’ll make no bones about it. That said, it was a huge ensemble and I wanted to make sure that I was an integral part of [this] show.”

Grace on dealing with fame: “This has been a really interesting journey. I’m really grateful [for the opportunity], but with that comes a lot of exposure. There’s an inordinate amount of attention put on actors. Some people want to make their lives public, but that doesn’t mean everybody does. It kind of feels you landed in – well, not really “Alice in Wonderland”, because its not that fun.”

Benedict Cumberbatch And Kelly Macdonald Join Joe Wright's Stunning Anna Karenina Cast

published: 2011-04-07 08:01:10 Author: Katey Rich
I'm a big fan of Joe Wright's newest film Hanna-- my full review posts later today-- and once again excited about the director of Pride & Prejudice and Atonement, who baffled me and many other people by turning in last year's drab and pandering The Soloist. To follow up on his new teen-assassin film Wright is moving back to classical literature, preparing to tackle Leo Tolstoy's Anna Karenina and assembling a dynamite cast to help him do it. Keira Knightley, Aaron Johnson and Jude Law are all confirmed for roles, Atonement co-stars James McAvoy and Saoirse Ronan are trying to make the scheduling work, and as Wright told The Playlist, two more up-and-comers are on board as well.


"Kelly Macdonald‘s confirmed, Benedict Cumberbatch is confirmed. I’m still waiting on Saorise and James," Wright told them yesterday. Cumberbatch actually makes this even more of an Atonement reunion, having played the actual rapist who goes off scot free when Ronan's character Briony accuses McAvoy instead. The British actor has been working steadily for years in all kinds of films you might recognize him in, and after appearing in last year's Four Lions he's got a huge 2011 lined up, with roles in Tinker, Tailor, Soldier Spy, Spielberg's War Horse and the Rachel Weisz drama The Whistleblower. Macdonald isn't doing too bad for herself either, stealing scenes in No Country for Old Men and leading herself to a lead role on Boardwalk Empire as the ambitious Irish immigrant Margaret Schroeder.


As The Playlist pieces the cast together, they've got Knightley starring in the title role, with Law playing her husband Karenin and Johnson her lover Vronsky. Once McAvoy and Ronan get their schedules put together-- he just had a baby, she's likely waiting to settle a deal for The Hobbit-- they'll be able to decide on this Wright reunion, and production is set to start in the fall. Even without McAvoy and Ronan this is a British acting supergroup for the ages, and if you're feeling wary about Wright after The Soloist, please see Hanna this weekend and get as excited about this as I am.   http://www.cinemablend.com/new/Benedict-Cumberbatch-And-Kelly-Macdonald-Join-Joe-Wright-s-Stunning-Anna-Karenina-Cast-24088.html

Synopsis: Haunted by a tragic past, ex-Marine Tommy Conlon (Hardy) returns home for the first time in fourteen years to enlist the help of his father (Nick Nolte) to train for SPARTA. A former wrestling prodigy, Tommy blazes a path toward the championship while his brother, Brendan (Edgerton), an ex-fighter-turned teacher, returns to the ring in a desperate bid to save his family from financial ruin. But when Brendan’s unlikely, underdog rise sets him on a collision course with Tommy, the two brothers must finally confront each other and the forces that pulled them apart, facing off in the most unforgettable climax that must be seen to be believed.

The film, directed by Gavin O’Connor, is expected to hit theaters September 9.

**Amy Adams Cast as Lois Lane in SUPERMAN Reboot **5 Clips from HANNA

Amy Adams is Lois Lane in "Superman" Reboot
Posted: March 27th, 2011 by WorstPreviews.com Staff


Warner Bros has announced that Amy Adams (The Fighter) has been cast as Lois Lane in the upcoming "Superman" reboot, joining Henry Cavill, Diane Lane and Kevin Costner.


"Second only to Superman himself, the question of who will play Lois Lane is arguably what fans have been most curious about," said Snyder. "So we are excited to announce the casting of Amy Adams, one of the most versatile and respected actresses in films today. Amy has the talent to capture all of the qualities we love about Lois: smart, tough, funny, warm, ambitious and, of course, beautiful."


"Superman: Man of Steel" is planning to begin shooting in August in Chicago, where the film will spend ten weeks before moving indoors in Vancouver. The $175 million movie will be filming under the name "Autumn Frost" and is set to hit theaters in December of 2012.

Amy Adams Is Lois Lane In Zack Snyder's Superman
published: 2011-03-27 12:29:56 Author: Katey Rich
The news that Henry Cavill would be playing Superman for Zack Snyder first broke on a Sunday afternoon in January, so I guess it's no surprise that another huge bit of casting information has come on a slow weekend afternoon. According to The LA Times, Amy Adams has been cast to play Lois Lane in the film; Snyder phoned Adams today and gave her the news, and gave the following quote to the Times:


“There was a big, giant search for Lois. For us it was a big thing and obviously a really important role. We did a lot of auditioning but we had this meeting with Amy Adams and after that I just felt she was perfect for it.”Contrary to earlier rumors that Lois might not even be part of the new Superman movie, Snyder called the character "a linchpin" of the story, and discussed updating the character for modern audiences and keeping her as part of "the same universe" as his new take on Superman:


“It goes back to what I’ve said about Superman and making him really understandable for today. What’s important to us is making him relevant and real and making him empathetic to today’s audience so that we understand the decisions he makes. That applies to Lois as well."Adams, fresh off an Oscar nomination for The Fighter, had also been part of the discussion recently for the movie musical Rock of Ages; it's unclear if playing Lois will get in the way of that, but I can't really imagine how both might happen. Her name was never mentioned amid the many crazy Lois Lane rumors we saw in the last few months, most of which revolved around actresses younger than the 36-year-old Adams. She's a fair bit older than the 27-year-old Cavill, but in most incarnations of the character Lois is a professional, working journalist, a woman who needs to be more than a 24-year-old hottie.


More than anything Adams' casting excites me because she's a good actress capable of displaying strength and personality, something that's often hard for women to do when they're part of giant, male-centric superhero movies. Argue all you want about Snyder's attitude toward the young female leads of his new film Sucker Punch, but Adams seems undoubtedly a step in the right direction of female strength.

Amy Adams Cast as Lois Lane in SUPERMAN Reboot
by Brendan Bettinger Posted: March 27th, 2011
Amy Adams has been cast as Lois Lane, fellow Daily Planet journalist and romantic interest of Clark Kent, in the Superman reboot. Adams is the fourth official cast member to join the Superman reboot: Henry Cavill (The Tudors) is Clark Kent/Superman; Diane Lane and Kevin Costner will play Clark’s adoptive parents Martha and Jonathan Kent.


In keeping with the secrecy surrounding plot details, director Zack Snyder (Sucker Punch) declined to comment on the prominence of Lois Lane or the nature of her character arc in the movie, but he did call the role “a linchpin” to the project. Read more of what Snyder had to say about signing Adams after the break.

5 Clips from HANNA Starring Saoirse Ronan and Cate Blanchett
by Steve 'Frosty' Weintraub Posted: March 27th, 2011
Focus Features has given us 5 clips from director Joe Wright’s (Atonement) action/survival film Hanna. Starring Saoirse Ronan, Cate Blanchett, and Eric Bana, the film tells the story of a 16-year-old trained assassin (Ronan) whose perpetual fleeing an intelligence agent takes her across Europe. While I’m embargoed from saying too much, I don’t think Focus will be upset if I tell you I thought Hanna was fantastic. Also, the music by The Chemical Brothers fits the movie perfectly. I’ve been listening to the soundtrack for the past few days almost nonstop. Definitely recommended.


Hit the jump to check out the clips. The film opens on April 8th.

Exclusive: Liv Tyler Talks THE STRANGERS 2 and THE HOBBIT
by Steve 'Frosty' Weintraub Posted: March 21st, 2011


With director James Gunn’s Super opening April 1, I was able to sit down with most of the cast this morning to talk about the film. Next week I’ll be posting the full interviews, but I wanted to get what Liv Tyler said about The Strangers 2 and The Hobbit online today.


As some of you are aware, the first Strangers was made for under $10 million and it went on to make over $80 million at the worldwide box office. With that kind of success, it’s no surprise that Rogue Pictures has been talking about making a sequel. Early reports pegged Liv Tyler returning and that filming could begin this year. However, Tyler told me, “I don’t know anything about…they’ve been talking about it forever and I know there is a screenplay that Bryan Bertino wrote which I’ve read part of but not the whole…I don’t know if it’s ever going to happen. Bryan is not directing it and I’m not really in it. I’d have to decide, but it’s not about me.”


Regarding The Hobbit, with a number of original cast members coming back, and yesterday’s press release saying that more cast members would be announced, I wondered if we might see Arwen (Tyler’s character in Lord of the Rings) return for even a few moments in either Hobbit film. According to Tyler, “I haven’t heard from anybody.” She also didn’t know that filming began today. More after the jump.

New Trailer for THE BANG BANG CLUB Starring Taylor Kitsch, Ryan Phillipe, and Malin Akerman
by Brendan Bettinger Posted: March 21st, 2011

Tribeca Film has released the first official trailer for The Bang Bang Club, which premiered at the Toronto International Film Festival in September of last year. The political drama is based on the true story of a group of four young combat photographers situated in post-Apartheid South Africa in the early 1990s: “This intense political period brought out their best work (two won Pulitzers during the period) but cost them a heavy price.”


Ryan Phillipe, Malin Akerman, and Taylor Kitsch star in the narrative feature debut of writer/director Steven Silver. The Bang Bang Club opens on April 22. Watch the trailer after the jump.

Ian McShane Joins JACK THE GIANT KILLER
by Brendan Bettinger Posted: March 21st, 2011
Ian McShane has joined the cast of Jack the Giant Killer, singlehandedly upping the badass quotient 30% on this retelling of the Jack and the Beanstalk fairy tale. Nicholas Hoults stars as a farm boy who “leads an expedition to free a princess (Eleanor Tomlinson) taken hostage by a giant, a situation that threatens the uneasy peace between humans and giants.” According to Heat Vision, McShane will play King Brahmwell, the princess’ father who disapproves of his daughter’s poor choice in poor men. Stanley Tucci will play the villain of the film, a scheming adviser to the king. Ewan McGregor is set as the leader of the king’s guard. Bill Nighy and John Kassir jointly portray the two-headed leader of the giants. (Super cast, if you ask me.)


Bryan Singer (Valkyrie) will direct from a script by Darren Lemke (Shrek Forever After). Neal Moritz (The Green Hornet) and David Dobkin (Fred Claus) will produce. McShane will next appear as Blackbeard in Pirates of the Caribbean: On Stranger Tides, which opens May 20.

Brian Geraghty (The Hurt Locker), Logan Huffman (V), and Madeleine Martin (Californication) have signed on to join Krysten Ritter (She’s Out of My League) in the indie drama Refuge.  Director Jessica Goldberg adapted the script from her own play, about “a young woman, Amy, forced to care for her younger brother and sister after her parents have abandoned the family and fled to Florida for a vacation from which they will never return.”

From the age breakdown, it looks like Ritter will play Amy, Huffman and Martin will play the younger siblings, and Geraghty will play Sam, a drifter that romances Amy.  Hit the jump for the synopsis for Goldberg’s play.

Justin Lin in Talks to Direct "Terminator 5"

Posted: February 16th, 2011 by WorstPreviews.com Staff

Soon after Arnold Schwarzenegger revealed that he'll be taking film offers, Universal Pictures got interested in developing a fifth installment in the "Terminator" franchise.

The studio is looking to get Justin Lin (Fast and Furious) to direct and Chris Morgan (Wanted) to write the script. There's no word whether the plan is to bring back Christian Bale to play John Connor (he is not contractually bound), but it's likely that Schwarzenegger will get a chance to be part of the new film. After all, James Cameron has stated several times that it's stupid to make a "Terminator" film without Schwarzenegger.

About a year ago, William Wisher, who collaborated with James Cameron on "Terminator" and "Terminator 2," said that he has written a 24-page treatment for the next film and a four-page outline for the sixth. He said it picks up after "Terminator Salvation" and contains the element of time travel.

Two Directors in Talks to Helm "GI Joe" Sequel

Posted: February 15th, 2011 by WorstPreviews.com Staff

THR is reporting that Paramount Pictures has narrowed down their list of director to helm the upcoming "GI Joe" sequel to two very different candidates.

The first is F. Gary Gray, the man behind such films as "Law Abiding Citizen," "The Italian Job" and "The Negotiator," and Jon Chu who is known mostly for "Justin Bieber's Never Say Never" and the last two "Step Up" installments.

"GI Joe 2" is a high priority for the studio, which hopes to begin filming in June of next year. Producer Lorenzo di Bonaventura has already met with both directors, who have yet to meet with Paramount executives.

New Clip And Images From Joe Wright's Teen Assassin Thriller Hanna

published: 2011-02-15 23:01:06 Author: Katey Rich

Hanna is the next film from director Joe Wright, but even though it stars his Atonement actress Saoirse Ronan, don't think for a minute this is anything like a British period piece or even a beautifully photographed film about romance of any kind. This time around Ronan is playing a killer, raised in the woods by her father (Eric Bana) to be ruthless and tough, sent on the run throughout Europe while hunted by the harsh CIA agent (Cate Blanchett) who killed her mother years before. The movie looks great-- it wouldn't be a Wright film if it didn't-- but it also features more violence, action and gritty modern locales than anything we've seen from Wright before.


I saw Hanna tonight at a special screening in New York, though sadly I'm forbidden from saying much more for a while. One my way out of the screening, though, I was given a flash drive that included the first released clip from the film plus some brand new images. You can check them all out below, and see larger versions of the images in our Blend Film Database. Just a few seconds into this clip you'll realize this is not the same Joe Wright we've known before-- and with the music from the Chemical Brothers and the flashing strobe light in the background, that feels like a very good thing. Hanna opens April 8.

Production on MEN IN BLACK III Pushed Back Again

by Adam Chitwood    Posted: February 15th, 2011

The oft-delayed production of Men in Black III just hit another bump in the road. Director Barry Sonnenfeld rolled cameras on the flick back in November, with production set to take a two-month hiatus from December to February to work on script issues, after which everyone would head back to work to finish the film up. Well, it appears that those script issues haven’t been quite cleared up yet, as production has now been moved back to March 28^th.

24 Frames reports that filming on the 3D flick was set to resume this week, but producers put the kibosh on that and slated production to resume in one month’s time. Sonnefeld and company shot most of the present day-set scenes before the year was out, and were set to come back this month to roll on the time-travel scenes (involving Josh Brolin as a young Agent K), which were to have been cleaned up in a script rewrite.

Warner Bros. Offers 300 Sequel XERXES to Director Guy Ritchie

by Adam Chitwood    Posted: February 15th, 2011

In a bit of a twist, it appears that Warner Bros. has offered the sequel to Zack Snyder’s 300 to director Guy Ritchie, instead of having Snyder helm the flick himself. Snyder, of course, is busy prepping his Superman film The Man of Steel right now, so it’s understandable that he’s busy. Still, most assumed that he would be taking on Xerxes after Man of Steel, or at least sometime in the future.

Vulture reports that Warner Bros. wants Snyder’s attention focused squarely on Man of Steel at the moment, as sources tell them that the story is suffering some “major third act problems” and the studio wants to get the film out as soon as possible. In addition, Vulture hears that Snyder’s upcoming Sucker Punch has not exactly been testing great. Snyder wrote the script to Xerxes, and one assumes that he would at least stay on to produce the film. Ritchie hasn’t agreed to direct the film yet, but the offer’s out to him, and WB seems to think he’s their guy, so now the ball’s in his court. Nevertheless, it does appear that Snyder won’t be directing the flick. Hit the jump for more on the project. ......  http://collider.com/guy-ritchie-xerxes/76341/

Daniel Radcliffe Joins THE AMATEUR PHOTOGRAPHER

by Jason Barr    Posted: February 15th, 2011

Daniel Radcliffe will star in the indie drama The Amateur Photographer. Emmy-nominated scribe Christopher Monger (HBO’s Temple Grandin) will direct the film from his own screenplay which is also, coincidentally enough, based on his own novel of the same name. Ted Hope and Anne Carey will co-produce the film, alongside Karen Montgomery, via their This Is That Prods. moniker. Per Variety, The Amateur Photographer is set in 1970’s New England and tells the story of a young man (Radcliffe) who discovers his knack for all things artistic after being recruited by the citizens of a small mill town to photograph their “most intimate moments.”

Although its elevator pitch may end on a somewhat awkward note, I’m interested in seeing how life after Harry Potter treats Radcliffe and The Amateur Photographer will seemingly constitute a small part of that.  Speaking of life after Potter, Radcliffe will complete his run as the boy wizard on July 15th in Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows – Part 2.  He can also be seen in the UK horror thriller The Woman in Black which opens October 28th of this year in the UK.

Girls With Guns: New Posters for HANNA and MEEK’S CUTOFF

by Brendan Bettinger    Posted: February 15th, 2011

You don’t want to mess the women featured on tonight’s set of posters.  Saoirse Ronan (The Lovely Bones) plays a young girl trained by her ex-CIA father (Eric Bana) to be the perfect assassin in Hanna, directed by Joe Wright (Atonement).  Ronan upgrades from bow and arrow on the first poster for Hanna to a cocked handgun.

The weapon technology wielded by Michelle Williams lies somewhere in between, with a shotgun pointed about three people to the left of us (phew) to promote Meek’s Cutoff.  The western is set in 1845, the earliest days of the Oregon Trail: Williams is among three families that hire Stephen Meek (Bruce Greenwood) to lead them on a troubled journey over the Cascade Mountains.  Kelly Reichardt (Wendy and Lucy) directs.

Rachel Bilson and Tom Sturridge Interview WAITING FOR FOREVER

by Christina Radish    Posted: February 3rd, 2011

Waiting for Forever tells the story of Will Donner (Tom Sturridge), a charismatic and carefree young man who has chosen not to follow the more traditional path of a career, in favor of the pursuit of the love he has for his childhood best friend, Emma Twist (Rachel Bilson). Will and Emma have not seen each other since they were kids, but that has not lessened his feelings for her, in any way. His quest to reconnect with her has taken him on a journey from city to city, where he always attempts to engage in conversation with her, but becomes paralyzed at the thought. Once the two finally do reunite, what initially seems a bit obsessive soon leads them both down a path of self-realization.

During the film’s press day, co-stars Rachel Bilson and Tom Sturridge talked about this unique love story, relating to their characters, learning to juggle, and the importance of childhood friends who help get you through the tough times. They also talked about their upcoming roles – Tom is in On the Road, opposite Kristen Stewart and Sam Riley, and Rachel just finished the comedy BFF & Baby, opposite Kate Bosworth and Krysten Ritter. Check out what they had to say after the jump:

James Cameron Says Tom Cruise Still Wants to do AT THE MOUNTAINS OF MADNESS

by Adam Chitwood    Posted: February 3rd, 2011

While doing press for the underwater thriller Sanctum, which he produced, James Cameron provided a bit of an update on Guillermo del Toro’s At the Mountains of Madness, which he’s also producing. Last we heard, Cameron said they were “very very actively” pre-producing the R-rated 3D epic based on HP Lovcraft’s novella. Universal had their sights set on James McAvoy to star, but del Toro was set on Tom Cruise. Well, it looks like del Toro may get his wish. Cameron recently had this to say in an interview with MTV:

“Tom [Cruise] wants to do the picture. I don’t think we have a deal with him yet, but we’re hoping to get that closed soon. Guillermo is madly working on a new draft of the script. Hopefully we’ll be shooting by June or July.”

So it sounds like things are moving right along. The film will be shot in 3D and tells the story of a doomed expedition to Antarctica where “fantastic and horrific ruins and a dangerous secret beyond a range of mountains taller than the Himalayas” are discovered. In short, it’s the perfect project for del Toro and Cameron to team up on. For all of our previous coverage on the long-gestating At the Mountains of Madness, click here.

International Trailer for HANNA

by Jason Barr    Posted: February 3rd, 2011

An international trailer for director Joe Wright’s (Atonement) action/survival film Hanna is now available online.  Starring Saoirse Ronan, Cate Blanchett, and Eric Bana, the film tells the story of a 16-year-old trained assassin (Ronan) whose perpetual fleeing an intelligence agent takes her across Europe.  The film’s original trailer landed on Matt’s Top 10 of 2010 list and this international trailer keeps the violent action rolling while being set against what sounds like a very cool original score from The Chemical Brothers.

Hit the jump to check out the trailer for yourself.  In addition to cast members previously mentioned, Hanna also stars Tom Hollander, Olivia Williams, and Michelle Dockery.  The film opens stateside on April 8th

Here is the synopsis:

Award-winning director Joe Wright creates a boldly original suspense thriller with HANNA, starring Academy Award nominee Saoirse Ronan (The Lovely Bones, Atonement) in the title role.

Raised by her father (Eric Bana of Star Trek), an ex-CIA man, in the wilds of Finland, Hanna’s upbringing and training have been one and the same, all geared to making her the perfect assassin. The turning point in her adolescence is a sharp one; sent into the world by her father on a mission, Hanna journeys stealthily across Europe while eluding agents dispatched after her by a ruthless intelligence operative with secrets of her own (Academy Award winner Cate Blanchett).  As she nears her ultimate target, Hanna faces startling revelations about her existence and unexpected questions about her humanity.

Michelle Williams Opens Up About Heath Ledger's Death

Almost three years after Heath Ledger’s tragic death, Michelle Williams is opening up about how she has coped with his loss.

Here’s what the 30-year-old actress shared with Nightline:

On Heath’s passing: “In a strange way, I miss that year, because all those possibilities that existed then are gone. It didn’t seem unlikely to me that he could walk through a door or could appear behind a bush. It was a year of very magical thinking, and in some ways I’m sad to be moving further and further away from it.”

On handling the news: “I found meanings around the circumstances but the actual event itself I can’t find a, I can’t find it. I can’t find a meaning for it. I can find meanings in things and people and relationships that have sprung up and friendships that have strengthened. I found a lot of meaning in that but not in ‘why.’”

On giving their daughter Matilda a normal childhood: “It’s going well. We’re doing a good job of it. It is of more importance to me than anything in my life. I would rearrange anything to make that possible. If something starts to encroach on that it’s going to be removed from the equation.”

Watch Michelle’s interview, which also includes her Blue Valentine co-star Ryan Gosling.
