Kate Hudson: Engaged to Matt Bellamy!

Kate Hudson is engaged to her beau, Muse rocker Matt Bellamy!

The 32-year-old actress announced the happy news on an appearance on The Today Show on Wednesday morning (April 27) while chatting about her new movie, Something Borrowed.

Kate graces this month’s cover of InStyle and talked marriage with the mag.

“I wouldn’t count it out,” Kate shared. “My own parents aren’t married, and anybody who has seen how we love, open our arms, and accept people with all of their faults knows I come from a great, happy home. A wedding is a beautiful thing - and I love the idea of two people celebrating their love and bringing their families together - but Matthew and I kind of skipped that part and went right to the good stuff!”

Congratulations to Kate and Matt!!

**Trailer for BEAUTIFUL BOY Starring Michael Sheen and Maria Bello **New Trailer for BRIDESMAIDS Starring Kristen Wiig **John Hawkes to Star in Indie Drama SURROGATE **Alec Baldwin Leaves MEN IN BLACK III

Trailer for BEAUTIFUL BOY Starring Michael Sheen and Maria Bello
by Matt Goldberg Posted: March 15th, 2011

A trailer for the indie drama Beautiful Boy has gone online. The story takes the unique perspective of focusing on the parents (played by Michael Sheen and Maria Bello) of a young man who went on a shooting spree on his college campus and then killed himself. Usually, the approach to a senseless tragedy such as that is to blame the parents, and then the tragedy somehow makes sense: better parents means better kid means no shooting spree and we can go back to pretending that the world is not a random series of uncontrollable events. I have hope that Shawn Ku’s film, which played at last year’s Toronto Film Festival, will handle its subject matter with maturity and insight. Having Sheen and Bello as the leads is already a great sign.


Hit the jump to check out the trailer.

New Trailer for BRIDESMAIDS Starring Kristen Wiig
by Matt Goldberg Posted: March 15th, 2011

I’m so happy that buzz I’m hearing on Paul Feig’s Bridesmaids out of SXSW is positive otherwise this trailer would have me mildly concerned about the film. Judging the film based solely on the new trailer, the humor mostly seems to revolve around Kristen Wiig being a neurotic single woman who drinks a lot. While I’m confident that Wiig has the charm and comic timing to carry a movie, this trailer doesn’t sell me on a film that my peers are celebrating.


Hit the jump to check out the trailer. Bridesmaids also stars Maya Rudolph, Rose Byrne, Melissa McCarthy and Jon Hamm. The film opens May 13th.

 John Hawkes to Star in Indie Drama SURROGATE
by Matt Goldberg Posted: March 15th, 2011
John Hawkes has been tapped to star in Ben Lewin’s indie drama Surrogate. Per Variety, the story “is based on the life of Mark O’Brien, a poet and journalist who, after spending most of his life with an iron lung as a result of polio, decides to explore his sexuality. He hires a sex surrogate and soon develops a relationship that changes both of their lives.” And this is an independent feature?! I can’t believe a studio wouldn’t want to make this.


I’ve been a big fan of Hawkes for a while and with his recent Oscar nomination for Winter’s Bone, I think he’s about to breakout in a big way. He’ll next be seen in supporting roles in Vera Farmiga’s Higher Ground, Steven Soderbergh’s Contagion, and the excellent Martha Marcy May Marlene.

Alec Baldwin Leaves MEN IN BLACK III
by Jason Barr Posted: March 15th, 2011
If it weren’t for bad news, there would be no news emitting from Sony Pictures’ beleaguered Men in Black III production. In fact, director Barry Sonnenfeld’s third installment in the franchise has encountered so many problems since its production began last November that we were actually capable of putting together an article devoted entirely to discussing said issues. Ouch. True to form, MIB has now taken another hit as purported co-star Alec Baldwin has left the production altogether. In a recent interview with Vulture, Baldwin made quick work of his exit saying, “I’m not doing that. I’m out of it; the schedule didn’t work out.”


As for the role Baldwin leaves behind, the actor was slated to play the head of the “MIB” in 1969 during the portions of the film in which Will Smith travels to the era in an attempt to save the young Agent K (Josh Brolin). There is currently no word on who will replace Baldwin in the role. In spite of all of its hardships, the film is scheduled to resume production on March 28th and is still looking at a May 25, 2012 release. The release date for the Oscar-worthy, underdog tale that documents all of Men in Black III’s obstacles on the road to release has yet to be announced. That said, I hear its production is going splendidly.

***New Images of Meryl Streep as Margaret Thatcher in THE IRON LADY ***New SUPERMAN Henry Cavill Talks about Being Cast in Zack Snyder’s Upcoming Reboot ***Trailer for INSIDIOUS Starring Patrick Wilson and Rose Byrne

New Images of Meryl Streep as Margaret Thatcher in THE IRON LADY

by Talia Soghomonian    Posted: February 17th, 2011

When the first publicity shot of Meryl Streep as the former British prime minister for the biopic The Iron Lady was recently released, we were struck by the resemblance. In the latest images from the set, shot in South London earlier this week, Streep, who is known for her perfectionism, appears to have physically altered herself to become Thatcher.

Check out the images after the jump.

New SUPERMAN Henry Cavill Talks about Being Cast in Zack Snyder’s Upcoming Reboot

by Matt Goldberg    Posted: February 17th, 2011

The new issue of Entertainment Weekly goes inside Zack Snyder’s upcoming Superman re-launch.  But the cover of the issue belongs to new Supes, Henry Cavill, who spoke to EW about the film.  While the full interview has yet to go online, EW issued a brief tease with Cavill talking about his anxiety about putting on the suit and screen-testing for the coveted role:

“All I could think was: Oh, god. They’re going to look at me and go ‘He’s not Superman. Not a chance.’ The actor inside me was going: You’re not ready! You’re not ready!“

But Snyder was impressed:

“Other actors put that suit on, and it’s a joke, even if they’re great actors. Henry put it on, and he exuded this kind of crazy-calm confidence that just made me go ‘Wow.’ Okay: This was Superman.”

The film is slated to begin shooting later this year for a holiday 2012 release.  With the start date on the horizon, we should expect casting news of the other major roles in the near future.

Trailer for INSIDIOUS Starring Patrick Wilson and Rose Byrne

by Matt Goldberg    Posted: February 17th, 2011

The guy or gal who was tasked with coming up with a tagline for the Insidious trailer didn’t do a very good job.  The trailer tries to play on the line “Insidious is Insidious” which makes the movie sound more like an Internet meme than a horror film.  Or maybe they just wanted to put the “taut” back into “tautology”.  Either way, the trailer then tries to pull a little twist by saying “Look!  It isn’t a haunted house movie!  It’s a haunted child movie!  You haven’t seen that before, have you?  Oh.  You have.  Well…crap.”

Hit the jump to check out the trailer and get a bad case of haunted child.  Insidious stars Patrick Wilson, Rose Byrne, and Barbara Hershey.  The film opens April 1st.

Tony Todd Says FINAL DESTINATION 6 and 7 Shooting Back-to-Back

by Matt Goldberg    Posted: February 1st, 2011

As long as there’s an audience for elaborate murdergasms, the Final Destination franchise should be a success.  The fifth installment (thankfully no longer titled “5nal Destination“) is due out in 3D on August 26th and actor Tony Todd, who is returning to the series, says that if it opens at #1, they’ll shoot parts 6 and 7 back-to-back .  Here’s what Todd told Dread Central:

“Thumbs up! Thumbs way up. They expanded my part, and the producer told me as we were leaving Vancouver that if it opens at Number 1 – which statistically it has – they’re going to shoot the next two simultaneously.”

Final Destination 5’s opening disaster will involve a bridge collapse.  I’m sure by the time we reach Final Destination 7, the inciting event will involve a slick patch of ice in the main character’s driveway.

Kristen Bell Moves into Showtime’s HOUSE OF LIES with Don Cheadle

by Ethan Anderton    Posted: February 1st, 2011

Last December we heard that Don Cheadle signed on to star in their dark comedy series House of Lies from Matthew Carnahan, creator and writer of the FX series Dirt. Based on Martin Kihn’s book of the same name, the half-hour comedy follows Marty (Cheadle), a highly successful, cutthroat consultant who is never above using any means (or anyone) necessary to get his clients the information they want. Now Showtime has announced that Kristen Bell, who first made waves on TV as Veronica Mars, has landed the role of Jeannie Van Der Hooven, a razor-sharp, Ivy-League graduate who works at Marty’s firm. Stephen Hopkins is directing the pilot with production beginning this month, so we’ll be looking forward to checking the show out later this year.

Baz Luhrmann May Not Direct THE GREAT GATSBY?

by Matt Goldberg    Posted: February 1st, 2011

Baz Luhrmann may be reconsidering an adaptation of F. Scott Fitzgerald’s The Great Gatsby.  Speaking to Vulture at the DGA Awards on Saturday, Luhrmann said he has to “make a decision in three days’ time,” on “Whether to do it or not.”  Only a few weeks ago it looked like a “Go” project with filming expected to begin this summer and Carey Mulligan attached to play Daisy. Luhrmann was even considering whether or not to make the movie in 3D.  The director had been previously work-shopping the film with Leonardo DiCaprio and Tobey Maguire in the roles of Gatsby and Nick Carraway, respectively.

Luhrmann says “I think I’ve been a bit shaded out because I want everything to be perfectly positioned on it,” and that we should expect news on the project “by the end of the week.”  Hit the jump for a synopsis of the novel.

First Trailer and Images for BRIDESMAIDS Starring Kristen Wiig and Maya Rudolph

by Matt Goldberg    Posted: February 1st, 2011

I have high hopes for Bridesmaids.  Kristen Wiig is poised for a star-making role (she also co-wrote the script), Judd Apatow is producing, and Freaks and Geeks creator/director Paul Feig is helming.  The first trailer for the movie has gone online and it’s a bit of a mixed bag.  The jokes about Wiig’s character being single are pretty stale, but there’s a charming tone of raunchiness and attitude.  Clearly they’re trying to sell it to Apatow’s male fans, but I’m on board for a female ensemble comedy that looks like the polar opposite of what we usually see from the genre.

Hit the jump to check out the trailer plus high-res images from the film.  Bridesmaids also stars Maya Rudolph, Rose Byrne, Wendi Mclendon-Covey, Ellie Kemper, and Jon Hamm.  The film opens May 13th.

***Two Matrix 3D Films in the Works? ***First Teaser Trailer for INSIDIOUS Starring Rose Byrne and Patrick Wilson ***Elizabeth Olsen Joins Sigourney Weaver in RED LIGHTS

Two Matrix 3D Films in the Works?
A mysterious email (read "rumor") was sent to AICN what apparently said that Keanu Reeves, who spoke at the London School of Performing Arts University, announced that there will be two more Matrix films coming to the big screen and there is a chance they will be in 3D.

It is being rumored that Keanu Reeves met with the Wachowski's for lunch over Christmas and that they had completed work on a two-picture script treatment that would see him return to the world of the Matrix as Neo.

Also, the Wachowski's apparently met with James Cameron to discuss the pros and cons of 3D and are looking to deliver something which has never been seen before.

The Matrix was released March 31st, 1999 and stars Keanu Reeves, Laurence Fishburne, Carrie-Anne Moss, Hugo Weaving, Gloria Foster, Joe Pantoliano, Marcus Chong, Julian Arahanga. The film is directed by Andy Wachowski, Lana Wachowski.

First Teaser Trailer for INSIDIOUS Starring Rose Byrne and Patrick Wilson

by Brendan Bettinger    Posted: January 23rd, 2011

FilmDistrict has released the first teaser trailer for Insidious a few months after we saw the first clip and a positive reception at the Toronto International Film Festival.  Rose Byrne (Damages) and Patrick Wilson (The A-Team) star as parents of a boy who falls into a coma after an accident at their new house: “The tragedy doesn’t stop there when they are beset by vengeful spirits from another realm.”  Insidious is the latest collaboration between Saw director James Wan and screenwriter Leigh Whannell, and the teaser is appropriately very creepy.  Watch it after the break.

Insidious opens on April 1. Via AICN:

Elizabeth Olsen Joins Sigourney Weaver in RED LIGHTS

by Brendan Bettinger    Posted: January 23rd, 2011

Elizabeth Olsen will capitalize on her status as Sundance darling to land a role opposite Sigourney Weaver, Robert De Niro, Cillian Murphy in Red Lights.  Directed by Rodrigo Cortés (Buried), the thriller centers on “a psychologist (Weaver) and her assistant (Olsen) whose study of paranormal activity leads them to investigate a world-renowned psychic (De Niro).”  Olsen tells Risky Business, “Cillian Murphy is my love interest, though that’s not a huge part of the story.”

The role is a nice fit since Elizabeth (sister to Mary-Kate and Ashley Olsen) is currently studying psychology at New York University.  Though she claims her education is “always a priority,” it hasn’t distracted from a budding film career: Olsen earned positive notices for the Sundance selections Silent House and Martha Marcy May Marlene.  She’ll have to take another break from school to shoot Red Lights, which is currently in pre-production.

***Entertainment Tonight Visits the Set of SHERLOCK HOLMES 2 ***First Look at the Cast of X-MEN: FIRST CLASS

Entertainment Tonight Visits the Set of SHERLOCK HOLMES 2

by Matt Goldberg    Posted: January 18th, 2011

With filming on Sherlock Holmes 2 currently underway, the production is opening up the set to various outlets.  Last week, we reported that Hero Complex had seen some filming of a set piece and now Entertainment Tonight is getting to see what director Guy Ritchie and company have in store for the sequel.  For those who want to avoid spoilers on what ET saw, I’ll simply say that Holmes is having even more fun with disguises in the sequel and that his dress-up accompanies what could be a thrilling action scene.  We also get a brief look at new cast member Noomi Rapace in action.

Hit the jump to check out ET’s set vision.  Sherlock Holmes 2 stars Robert Downey Jr., Jude Law, and Jared Harris.  It’s set to open on December 16th.

First Look at the Cast of X-MEN: FIRST CLASS

by Matt Goldberg    Posted: January 18th, 2011

The first image of the cast of X-Men: First Class has been released.  Because of the horrible photo-shopping job, my first instinct was that the image was faked.  But the image comes from MSN [who have now taken down the page] so I’ll assume it’s legit. The film is set in the 1960s (although you couldn’t tell it from these costumes) when apparently light bulbs were in short supply.

From left to right, you can see Michael Fassbender as Magneto, Rose Byrne as Moira MacTaggert, January Jones as Emma Frost, Jason Flemyng as Azazel, Nicholas Hoult as Beast, either Lucas Till as Havoc or Caleb Landry Jones as Banshee (it’s difficult to see!), a young female actress who I don’t recognize, Jennifer Lawrence as Mystique, and James McAvoy as Professor X.  Cast members not pictured include Kevin Bacon, Oliver Platt, Edi Gathegi, and Zoe Kravitz.  Hit the jump for a synopsis of the film.  X-Men: First Class is due out June 3rd.

Here’s the official synopsis for X-Men: First Class:

X-MEN: FIRST CLASS, following the classic Marvel mythology, charts the epic beginning of the X-Men saga. Before Charles Xavier and Erik Lensherr took the names Professor X and Magneto, they were two young men discovering their powers for the first time. Before they were archenemies, they were closest of friends, working together, with other Mutants (some familiar, some new), to stop the greatest threat the world has ever known. In the process, a rift between them opened, which began the eternal war between Magneto’s Brotherhood and Professor X’s X-Men.
