Andrew Garfield: 'Spider-Man' Filming with Martin Sheen!

Earlier in the week, Andrew filmed scenes with Rhys Ifans, who plays Dr. Curt Connors/The Lizard.

Julia Roberts & Tom Hanks Cover 'W' June 2011

Julia Roberts & Tom Hanks Cover 'W' June 2011
Tom Hanks holds onto Julia Roberts on the cover of W’s June issue.
Here’s what the Larry Crowne co-stars and real-life BFFs had to share with the mag:
Julia on Tom directing her in the film: “God, no [I wasn't nervous]. We knew each other socially. When I was in Rome, shooting Eat Pray Love, Tom sent me the script and said, ‘Tell me what you think.’ I couldn’t stop smiling when I read it: It’s topical, but very positive.”
Julia on whether she’d ever be a director: “No. I can direct breakfast, lunch, and dinner. I take pride in my kitchen, but I’m not going to direct a movie.”
Tom on writing the role for Julia: “Yes. I had some teachers who looked like Julia. I would see them and think, I love you. So there was never anyone but Julia. Still, even after she said yes, I was the boss. That meant I got to say, ‘You don’t wear this dress, you wear that dress.’ And Julia’s Julia - she can be intimidating [Laughs].”
FYI: Julia is wearing a Dolce&Gabbana silk dress on the cover. She also rocked a Versace gown and a Giorgio Armani corset and skirt for the shoot.

Rachel McAdams Covers 'Elle' June 2011

Rachel McAdams Covers 'Elle' June 2011
Rachel McAdams strikes a pose on the cover of Elle’s June issue.
Here’s what the 32-year-old actress had to share with the mag:
On working with Owen Wilson in Midnight in Paris: “It’s definitely a different dynamic from the last time we were together [in Wedding Crashers]. It wasn’t as fun being mean. I love that [director] Woody [Allen] likes good guys to be good guys and bad guys to be bad guys. Owen seemed to respond really well when I was a really bad guy.”
On being a romantic: “I am. When Billie Holiday comes on, I can’t help but be transported—and I’m sure it wasn’t as romantic then at all - but that’s the wonderful part of my job: dressing up and walking down the street in New York or Toronto, pretending I’m in the ’40s.”
On her expectations for relationships: “You grow up and you assume that everyone is like that, and you quickly realize that they’re not, and then you have those days when you wonder if you’re going to find it for yourself. It’s such a hard thing to find. I think it was more that realization that rocked me.”

**First Good Look at Brad Pitt in Andrew Dominik’s COGAN’S TRADE **Teaser Trailer for Pedro Almodovar’s THE SKIN I LIVE IN **New Poster, Images, and Full Synopsis for DRIVE Starring Ryan Gosling and Carey Mulligan **First Look at Rhys Ifans (Minus a Bag on His Head) from THE AMAZING SPIDER-MAN

First Good Look at Brad Pitt in Andrew Dominik’s COGAN’S TRADE

by Matt Goldberg   Posted: May 7th, 2011

cogans-trade-movie-image-brad-pitt-slice-01
At the beginning of March, some blurry set photos from Andrew Dominik’s adaptation of Cogan’s Trade leaked online.  Today, an official-looking image from the film has been released and it shows star Brad Pitt in all his slicked-hair, shotgun-wielding majesty.  Pitt plays Jackie Cogan, a mob enforcer who is tasked with investigating the heist of a high-stakes card game.  The movie has an impressive cast that includes Ray Liotta, James Gandolfini, Richard Jenkins (The Visitor), Ben Mendelsohn (Animal Kingdom), Scott McNairy (Monsters), rising star Bella Heathcote (Now), and Sam Shepard.
Judging by the image, the film looks to have the grittier feel of Dominik’s debut film Chopper rather than the lyrical, haunting pace of his previous work, The Assassination of Jesse James by the Coward Robert Ford. The Weinstein Company picked up the rights to the film and will likely release the movie in 2012.  Hit the jump to check out the image.



Teaser Trailer for Pedro Almodovar’s THE SKIN I LIVE IN

by Brendan Bettinger    Posted: May 8th, 2011

the-skin-i-live-in-slice
The Skin I Live In, the latest from writer/director Pedro Almodovar, is going to be weeeeeird.  I suppose we knew this from the logline: while plotting his revenge against the man who raped his daughter, a plastic surgeon (Antonio Banderas) imprisons and torments his partner (Elena Anaya) in an operating theater in his basement.  The new teaser trailer drives the point home, packing plenty of disturb into thirty seconds.  The Skin I Live In will premiere later this month at the Cannes Film Festival — where prior Almodovar movies All About My Mother and Volver have won awards — before a theatrical release in November.
Marisa Paredes, Jan Cornet, Roberto Alamo, Blanca Suárez, Eduard Fernández, José Luis Gómez, Bárbara Lennie, Susi Sánchez, Fernando Cayo, and Teresa Manresa also star in the film, based on the novel Tarantula by Thierry Jonquet.  Watch the trailer after the jump.



New Poster, Images, and Full Synopsis for DRIVE Starring Ryan Gosling and Carey Mulligan

by Brendan Bettinger    Posted: May 8th, 2011

Nicolas Winding Refn (Bronson) has earned the status as an exciting filmmaker to look out for, and he rounded up a terrific cast for his Hollywood debut in Ryan Gosling, Carey Mulligan, Christina Hendricks, Bryan Cranston, Ron Perlman, Oscar Isaac, and Albert Brooks.  (I am encouraged that the script by Hossein Amini (Killshot) convinced Brooks to shoot his live-action feature since 2003.)  The logline is promising, too — a novel yet natural entry point into the action genre: a Hollywood stunt driver (Gosling) moonlights as a getaway driver.
Drive will premiere at the Cannes Film Festival later this month in advance of a September 16 release.  The Cannes promotional material gave us our first look at the film with a two-minute clip.  The new Drive press kit assembled for the festival provides a new poster, a longer synopsis, and a bunch of new images.  Look for the poster, synopsis, and images after the break.
Here’s the full synopsis:drive-image-ryan-gosling-03
Driver (RYAN GOSLING) is a stunt driver by day and a getaway driver by night. Doesn’t matter what job he does, Driver is most comfortable behind the wheel of a car. Shannon (BRYAN CRANSTON) is part mentor, part manager for Driver. Since he knows what a great talent Driver is behind the wheel, he either peddles him to film and television directors in the entertainment business or thieves who need an accomplished getaway driver, taking a cut for his own pockets. Always looking to make a buck, Shannon’s current plan is funding a stock car that Driver can race on the professional circuit. Since Bernie Rose (ALBERT BROOKS) is the wealthiest guy he knows, even if the sources of his money are questionable, Shannon proposes he be their investor. After seeing Driver in action at the speedway, Bernie Rose insists Nino (RON PERLMAN) partners with them as well. Primarily a loner and ambivalent about the deals Shannon makes for him, Driver’s world changes the day he shares an elevator ride at his apartment building with Irene (CAREY MULLIGAN). When he sees her again at the grocery store with her young son, Benicio (KADEN LEOS), he is transfixed, and willingly offers help when they are stranded in the parking lot because Irene’s car won’t start. Soon Driver settles into a routine of driving Irene to her waitress job and watching Benicio, entangled in their lives while her car is fixed. This interlude in Driver’s life abruptly stops when Standard (OSCAR ISAAC), Irene’s husband, is let out early from prison for good behavior. Even though nothing has happened between Driver and Irene, Standard is threatened by another man’s presence in his family’s life. Driver backs off, respectful of Irene’s desire to keep her family together, but when he finds Standard bloodied and lying in the garage with a scared Benicio standing next to his father, Driver is embroiled even further in Irene’s life. Then trouble begins…
You can download the full press kit at the official Cannes site — it provides a detailed timeline of how Refn and each of the actors came on board.

First Look at Rhys Ifans (Minus a Bag on His Head) from THE AMAZING SPIDER-MAN

by Matt Goldberg   Posted: May 8th, 2011

amazing-spider-man-set-photo-rhys-ifans-andrew-garfield-slice-01
Last week, we got our first look at Rhys Ifans in Marc Webb’s The Amazing Spider-Man.  Kind of.  Ifans plays Dr. Curt Conners, a scientist who accidentally becomes The Lizard when he tries to regrow his lost arm.  Moral of the story: if you’ve lost an arm, take comfort in the fact that you’re not a man-reptile.  Anyway, while I imagine that the character will be mostly (if not entirely) CGI, the set photo from last week showed Ifans with a bag over his head presumably to hide some level of transformation.  Today, we now see Ifans in human-form and without the bag, but with a long green glove on one arm.  That’s so the animators can CGI out the actor’s arm, although if he were method, he would just chop it off.  Computer graphics ruin everything.
Hit the jump to check out the image.  The Amazing Spider-Man also stars Andrew Garfield and Emma Stone.  The film opens in 3D on July 3, 2012.

In addition to years of study and experimentation, Robert needed three things: no scruples, an accomplice and a human guinea pig. Scruples were never a problem.

7 Movie Clips and ‘A Look Inside’ Featurette from BRIDESMAIDS

by Steve 'Frosty' Weintraub    Posted: April 30th, 2011

With director Paul Feig’s (Freaks And Geeks)  Bridesmaids opening May 13, Universal has released seven movie clips and A Look Inside featurette.  The film stars Kristen Wiig, Maya Rudolph, Rose Byrne, Matt Lucas, Chris O’Dowd, Melissa McCarthy and Jon Hamm.
While I might still be under embargo, if I wasn’t, I’d probably tell you Bridesmaids is ridiculously funny and one of the best films I’ve seen this year.  I’d also tell you that Bridesmaids has one of the funniest scenes I’ve seen in a theater in a long time.  If you weren’t sold by the trailer or this red band trailer, trust me when I say, Bridesmaids is absolutely worth seeing and I really suggest watching it with a crowded theater.  You’ll love it.  Hit the jump for the clips and featurette, and look for interviews with the cast the week of release.




First Images of STRAW DOGS Starring James Marsden, Kate Bosworth, and Alexander Skarsgård

straw-dogs-kate-bosworth-james-marsden-slice
Screen Gems has released the first images from Straw Dogs, a remake of the 1971 thriller directed by Sam Peckinpah.  James Marsden and Kate Bosworth fill in for Dustin Hoffman and Susan George as the Sumners, “a husband and wife who clash with sadistic small-town Mississippi locals.”  Alexander Skarsgård, Rhys Coiro, James Woods, Laz Alonso, Dominic Purcell, and Walton Goggins also star.
Writer/director Rod Lurie (Nothing But the Truth) recognizes the trickiness in redoing Peckinpah, but the remake doesn’t try to soften the brutal impact of the rape-filled original:
“It’s a fool’s errand to try to outdo Peckinpah on his turf… This is not a soft movie.  People leave this movie saying they need a drink.”

Plot Details and Production Update for Quentin Tarantino’s Spaghetti Western DJANGO UNCHAINED

by Brendan Bettinger    Posted: April 30th, 2011

And so, with last night’s twitpic of the title page of Quentin Tarantino’s latest script, we’re off.  The spaghetti western is indeed titled Django Unchained.  Franco Nero first spoke about his attachment in February, so the project is surely tied to the character that Nero originated in 1966’s Django.  A source who reportedly read the script sent Shadow and Act a plot synopsis that suggests Nero may be too Italian to play the title role:
“Django is a freed slave, who, under the tutelage of a German bounty hunter (played by Christoph Waltz) becomes a bad-ass bounty hunter himself, and after assisting Waltz in taking down some bad guys for profit, is helped by Waltz in tracking down his slave wife and liberating her from an evil plantation owner.”
So “Unchained” is literal.  That’s great!  Thompson on Hollywood confirmed with agency WME that Waltz is on board; Nero indicated Keith Carradine and Treat Williams will also appear.  Hit the jump for more production details.




Lee Pace and Dean O’Gorman Join Peter Jackson’s THE HOBBIT

by Adam Chitwood    Posted: April 30th, 2011

Director Peter Jackson announced two new additions to the cast of The Hobbit. Lee Pace (Pushing Daises) is set to star as the Elven King Thranduil. In The Lord of the Rings mythology, Thrandull is the father of Legolas and plays a supporting role in The Hobbit. Additionally, Kiwi actor Dean O’Gorman will be playing Fili, a dwarf and one of the twelve companions of Bilbo. Posting the news on his Facebook page, here’s what Jackson had to say about the casting of Pace:
“Casting these Tolkien stories is very difficult, especially the Elven characters, and Lee has always been our first choice for Thranduil. He’s going to be great.  We loved his performance in a movie called The Fall a few years ago, and have been hoping to work with him since.  When we were first discussing who would be right for Thranduil, Lee came into mind almost immediately.”
While I’m not familiar with O’Gorman, the addition of Pace to the cast is great news. He turned in some fantastic work in Bryan Fuller’s criminally underrated TV series Pushing Daisies, and his involvement is certainly exciting. The Hobbit will be broken into two parts.  Part 1 is set for December 2012 and Part 2 will come out in December 2013.  Hit the jump for a synopsis of the book.


Set Photos from THE AMAZING SPIDER-MAN; Oscorp Confirmed to Appear in the Film

spider-man-set-photo-stunt-slice
Following the barrage of set photos that appeared to hit weekly earlier this year, it seemed like all was quiet on the amateur photography front for The Amazing Spider-Man. Well, now photos giving us our first look at Andrew Garfield as Peter Parker in glasses (smart!), as well as capturing the rehearsal for what looks to be a big stunt piece in the film have surfaced.
If that wasn’t enough, it’s been confirmed that Oscorp, the company run by Norman Osborn (the Green Goblin), will appear in the film. Apparently scenes were being filmed in an “Oscorp” building, complete with employees wearing Oscorp badges and such. Hit the jump to check out all the photos, as well as more information on Oscorp’s role in the film. Starring Garfield, Emma Stone and Rhys Ifans, The Amazing Spider-Man is slated for a July 3rd, 2012 release.

***Malin Akerman in Negotiations to Star in MEDALLION with Nicolas Cage *** Jesse Eisenberg, Melissa Leo, and Tracy Morgan Are PREDISPOSED ***New Images of Andrew Garfield on the Set of THE AMAZING SPIDER-MAN

Malin Akerman in Negotiations to Star in MEDALLION with Nicolas Cage

by Adam Chitwood    Posted: February 28th, 2011

Nicolas Cage is starring in yet another action film, and it looks like Malin Akerman will be along for the ride. Akerman is in negotiations to take on the female lead in Medallion, from director Simon West (When a Stranger Calls). The Taken-esque story centers on “a former master thief (Cage), who has only a few hours to find his daughter when she is kidnapped and locked in the trunk of a New York medallion taxi cab.”
Heat Vision reports that Akerman will star as Cage’s former girlfriend/bankrobber who, of course, teams up with Cage to help him find his daughter. David Guggenheim (Safe House) wrote the script, while McG is producing, sigh. West and Cage previously teamed up for the fantastically ridiculous Con Air, and one can only hope that working together on this project will get the ball rolling on that Con Air sequel that West wants to do. Akerman recently replaced Lindsay Lohan in the Linda Lovelace biopic Inferno.

New Images of Andrew Garfield on the Set of THE AMAZING SPIDER-MAN

by Jason Barr    Posted: February 28th, 2011

Several new images of Andrew Garfield on the set of Marc Webb’s The Amazing Spider-Man have popped up online. The images feature the wall-crawler in what looks to be a stand-off situation as well as a half-suited Garfield apparently taking tips on how to point a gun at a grounded opponent. All right, so that is probably a little out of character for Spidey. In any case, you can hit the jump to check out the images.
In addition to Garfield, The Amazing Spider-Man also stars Emma Stone, Rhys Ifans, Martin Sheen, Sally Field, and Denis Leary. The film hits 3D theaters on July 3, 2012.

Jesse Eisenberg, Melissa Leo, and Tracy Morgan Are PREDISPOSED

by Jason Barr    Posted: February 28th, 2011

Oscar nominee Jesse Eisenberg (The Social Network), Oscar winner Melissa Leo (The Fighter), and 30 Rock star Tracy Morgan have reportedly signed on to star in the indie comedy Predisposed. According to Vulture, the trio will play a Julliard-hopeful, his drug-addicted mother, and said mother’s drug dealer, Sprinkles, respectively. Predisposed will be directed by Oscar nominated scribe/co-writer Ron Nyswaner (Philadelphia) with Philip Dorling sharing co-writing credit as well. Briefly, the comedy will center on the dysfunctional relationship between Eisenberg and Leo’s mother and son pair. The story is set on a day in which the son is interviewing for Julliard while his mother is busy feuding with her drug-dealer/checking herself into rehab while intoxicated so as to overcome her lack of health insurance.
Leo should be well prepared for her role as Eisenberg’s junkie mom as she made the same turn when Predisposed screened at the 2009 Sundance Film Festival as a short directed by the aforementioned Philip Dorling. Shooting on this promising feature length version of Predisposed is set to begin this summer.

Jeremy Irons and Kim Cattrall Join Tom Sturridge in THE TREEHOUSE

Jeremy Irons (Appaloosa) and Kim Cattrall (Sex and the City) and Tom Sturridge (Pirate Radio) have signed on to star in The Treehouse.  Originally titled The Master of Farnow, the film is set in “in pre-World War I Germany detailing the story of a failed student, his glamorous cousin, her mother and the student’s father.”  According to THR, Lajos Koltai (Evening) will direct the $10 million production from a script by Paul Mayersberg (Croupier), based on a novel by Eduard von Keyserling.
Irons will next be seen in Margin Call, which was recently picked up from Sundance for an October 2011 release.  Sturridge’s next big project positions the actor opposite Sam Riley, Garrett Hedlund, and Kristen Stewart in Walter Salles’ highly anticipated adaptation of On the Road.

Roland Emmerich on "Independence Day 2" and Isaac Asimov's "Foundation"

Posted: February 14th, 2011 by WorstPreviews.com Staff
Director Roland Emmerich has been planning two more "Independence Day" sequels, but has now revealed to Empire magazine that the sequels won't happen any time soon.


"'Independence Day 2' is nowhere," he said. "It's back and forth, back and forth. There's no script because I don't want to write anything before anything starts. One day it will happen."


Emmerich is instead focusing on bringing Isaac Asimov's "Foundation" to the big screen. "We've hired a production designer and it's mainly now to find out what the movie will cost," he explained. "It'll take us until the end of March, then we'll decide. The studio is happy with the script (by 'The Patriot' writer Robert Rodat), but now's the time that the numbers count. I want to make a movie that's very different from other science-fiction movies and I don't want to have the burden of too big a budget."


"Foundation" is a complex saga about humans who are scattered on planets throughout the galaxy, living under the rule of the Galactic Empire. A psycho-historian who can scientifically read the future sees an imminent empire collapse, and sets to work preparing to save the knowledge of mankind.

Later, a distraught young woman named Maggie is contemplating suicide when she's surprised by an enormous wolf. She snarls, baring her vampire fangs. The wolf grins and barks: Let's play!


After a fierce, exhilarating chase through the park, Maggie falls asleep with the wolf - and awakens in a naked young man's arms. It's Pete. And love at first sight.


Pete's werewolf pals and Maggie's upper-crust vampire clan are furious. And when some mangled bodies are discovered in the woods, Pete and Maggie must fight for their lives while grappling with the awful consequences of loving a monster.

As a part of the ramp up to the unveiling of the first trailer for Joe Johnston’s The First Avenger: Captain America during the Super Bowl on Sunday, the first poster for the film has been released. Starring Chris Evans, Hugo Weaving, Sebastian Stan and Hayley Atwell, the film will hit theaters on July 22nd in 3D. Featuring the tagline “Avenge”, the poster is equal parts gritty and enticing. As an introduction to the character/film, I’d say they hit it spot-on. Hit the jump to check out the full poster for yourself.




New Images of SPIDER-MAN Costume and His Rotted Codpiece

by Matt Goldberg    Posted: February 4th, 2011

The more I see of the new Spider-Man costume, the less I like it.  Granted, I need to see how it performs in action, but these new set photos don’t bode well for the final picture.  The costume makes Spidey look like a cross between an extra-terrestrial and venetian blinds.  Of course it’s likely that some CG work will be done on it between now and release so I don’t want to be too harsh on the design.  However, I’m baffled as to why Spider-Man’s junk looks like it’s rotting off.
We also have a good look at the spider emblem on Spidey’s back.  Like the spider on the front of the costume, the designer clearly thought “Spiders’ legs are gigantic.  Let’s do something with that.”  Hit the jump to check out new images of the costume.  Marc Webb’s untitled Spider-Man reboot stars Andrew Garfield, Emma Stone, and Rhys Ifans.  It’s due out in 3D on July 3, 2012.
