Chris Hemsworth & Elsa Pataky: Thor Premiere

Chris Hemsworth and Elsa Pataky arrive at the red carpet in a personal fleet of Acura S.H.I.E.L.D. vehicles inspired by Thor held at the El Capitan Theatre on Monday (May 2) in Los Angeles.

The 27-year-old Aussie actor had to workout six or seven days a week to get in shape for the film, but that wasn’t the best part of film. “Getting to wear a cape and a big, beautiful costume is fun,” he told The Insider, adding that his intense workout for the role included “buckets of protein.”

Katy Perry Covers 'Vanity Fair' June 2011

Katy Perry strikes a pose on the cover of Vanity Fair’s June issue.

Here’s what the 26-year-old pop star shared with the mag:

On her career: “[It's] like an artichoke. People might think that the leaves are tasty and buttered up and delicious, and they don’t even know that there’s something magical hidden at the base of it. There’s a whole other side [of me] that people didn’t know existed.”

On her marriage to Russell Brand: “[There is] never a dull moment. [He has] never lied to me once. I trust him; there’s just a level of trust that we’ve built up.”

On their different views of religion: “I come from a very non-accepting family, but I’m very accepting. Russell is into Hinduism, and I’m not [really] involved in it. He meditates in the morning and the evening; I’m starting to do it more because it really centers me. [But] I just let him be him, and he lets me be me.”

Jennifer Lawrence Covers 'Flare' June 2011

Jennifer Lawrence rocks a Gucci dress and belt with a Louis Vuitton bracelet on the cover of Flare magazine’s June 2011 issue, on newsstands in Canada on Monday (May 16).
Here’s what the 20-year-old actress had to share:
On being a wild child: “My mom [says] - Jenn wasn’t allowed to play with the girls at recess. She had to play with the boys because she’s too rough.”
On her athletic build: “I’d rather look a little chubby on camera and look like a person in real life, than to look great onscreen and look like a scarecrow in real life.”
On Oscar parties: “I went to the Vanity Fair [Oscar] party for a cool 15 minutes. And then I took off. I’m like a little old lady. I’m always tired around midnight! I mean, it was cool to see Elton John, and I met Billy Crystal, which was amazing, but yeah, I’m mostly just kind of uncomfortable.”
On the success of Winter’s Bone: “I cried when we got into Sundance. I never saw any of this coming.”

SOCIAL NETWORK Actor Josh Pence Joins THE DARK KNIGHT RISES

by Adam Chitwood    Posted: April 8th, 2011

With production on Christopher Nolan’s unbelievably anticipated The Dark Knight Rises getting ready to begin production soon, the director is filling out the rest of his cast. The latest actor to join the project is The Social Network actor Josh Pence. Heat Vision reports that the actor will take on the role of a young Ra’s Al Ghul in a flashback. Liam Neeson portrayed Al Ghul in Batman Begins, and this casting confirms reports that Nolan really is tying his trilogy together with this last installment in his Batman franchise. There are also rumors that Ra’s daughter, Talia Al Ghul will appear in The Dark Knight Rises (Marion Cotillard, perhaps?)

Now, you may not remember seeing Pence’s face in The Social Network, but that’s because you never did. Pence played opposite Armie Hammer as one half of the Winklevoss twins, but his face was digitally replaced with Hammer’s to accurately reflect the two as identical twins. The Dark Knight Rises now stars Christian Bale, Anne Hathaway, Tom Hardy, Joseph Gordon-Levitt and Juno Temple. The film hits theaters July 20^th, 2012.

Casting Call: Tobey Maguire Joins Ang Lee’s LIFE OF PI; Willem Dafoe in Talks for Stephen Sommers’ ODD THOMAS

by Adam Chitwood    Posted: April 8th, 2011

We’ve got a couple of casting stories for you today, both involving adaptations of books. First up, Variety reports that Tobey Maguire is re-teaming with director Ang Lee for his adaptation of Yann Martel’s Life of Pi. The story centers on a boy named Pi who gets stranded for 227 days with a tiger. Maguire will play the man who interviews the adult Pi about his experience. The cast for the 3D film now includes newcomer Suraj Sharma, Irrfan Khan (In Treatment), Adil Hussain (Calendar Girls), and Gerard Depardieu. The film is slated for a December 14^th, 2012 release.

Additionally, Willem Dafoe is in talks to join director Stephen Sommers’ (The Mummy) adaptation of the Dean Koontz supernatural thriller Odd Thomas. The film centers on a short-order cook who can commune with the dead. Heat Vision reports that Dafoe is in talks to play a local police chief. Anton Yelchin and Addison Timlin are poised to star in the film. Shooting is set to start in New Mexico later this spring. Hit the jump for a synopsis of both Life of Pi and Odd Thomas.

Jessica Biel Close to Grabbing One of the Lead Female Roles in TOTAL RECALL Remake

by Adam Chitwood  Posted: April 8th, 2011

Len Wiseman’s (Live Free or Die Hard) remake of Total Recall may be close to casting one of the two lead female roles. Variety reports that Jessica Biel is circling one of the roles opposite Colin Farrell in the remake of the 1990 Arnold Schwarzenegger starred sci-fi film. The two roles in the original, Lori and Melina, were played by Sharon Stone and Rachel Ticotin respectively. Apparently early word was that Biel was going after Melina, but the trade says that there’s a chance she’s going after the other character. Other actresses reading for the roles include Eva Mendes, Diane Kruger and Kate Bosworth.

Bryan Cranston is set to play the villain in the remake. When producer Neil Moritz sat down with Steve a while ago, he stated that this film is closer to Philip K. Dick’s book than the 1990 film was, and in the remake they won’t be going to space (which is kind of confusing, given that a major plot point involves Mars). Further plot details are scarce, and at this point we don’t even know what villain Cranston is portraying. Nevertheless, the addition of Cranston to the cast automatically puts this in my “must-see” category. Total Recall hits theaters August 3rd 2012.

Nick Cassavetes Replaces Liam Neeson in THE HANGOVER PART II Cameo

by Nicole Pedersen    Posted: April 9th, 2011

With just weeks to go before the release of The Hangover Part II, director Todd Phillips has announced that Liam Neeson’s cameo performance as a Bangkok tattoo artist has been cut from the film.  Back in October Neeson was called in to replace Mel Gibson, whose appearance in the sequel “did not have the full support” of the Hangover cast and crew.  Details on who will replace Neeson are after the jump.

**Nicolas Cage and John Travolta May Re-Team for SHRAPNEL and SEA TRIAL **Five New Posters for THOR **First Trailer for THE THREE MUSKETEERS **Confirmed: Mila Kunis Joins James Franco in OZ, THE GREAT AND POWERFUL as Theodora

Nicolas Cage and John Travolta May Re-Team for SHRAPNEL and SEA TRIAL
by Matt Goldberg Posted: March 25th, 2011
It’s been almost fifteen years since Face/Off, and Nicolas Cage and John Travolta are looking at not one but two indie thrillers where they can compete to chew the most scenery. Vulture reports that the actors may re-team on Shrapnel, which is about “a former Bosnian soldier who seeks vengeance against the American who badly wounded him by disguising a deadly war game as a friendly backwoods hunting trip.” I wonder if Cage and Travolta are arguing over who gets to play the Bosnian and put on the most atrocious accent.


Evan Dougherty’s script for Shrapnel was on the 2008 Black List (a list of the best unproduced screenplays in Hollywood) and had John McTiernan attached to direct. However, last October McTiernan was thrown in jail for perjury in the Anthony Pellicano Hollywood wiretap case. He’s currently out on bail and appealing the sentence. Filming on Shrapnel is set to begin in June, but Vulture doesn’t mention if McTiernan is still attached.


Hit the jump to learn about the other project Cage and Travolta are considering.

Five New Posters for THOR [Updated Yet Again]
by Matt Goldberg Posted: March 25th, 2011

Marvel has released two character posters for Thor. The posters are simply the slices of a previously released character banner made into individual images. However, if Anthony Hopkins’ giant Odin-mug staring you down doesn’t make audiences want to see Thor, nothing will. In a related story, nothing will want to make audiences see Thor. [Update: There is now also a poster for Idris Elba's character Heimdall, which you can check out after the jump.] [2nd Update: And now there's one of Natalie Portman's character Jane Foster. I should have just been patient and waited until they were all released. Anyway, I've added the new poster after the jump.] [3rd Update: Now there's a poster of Jaimie Alexander as Sif. Who wants to take bets on how many more posters there will be before the day is over?]


Hit the jump to check out the posters. Thor stars Chris Hemsworth, Natalie Portman, Tom Hiddleston, Rene Russo, Stellan Skarsgard, Jaimie Alexander, Kat Dennings, Ray Stevenson, Josh Dallas, Tadanobu Asano, Idris Elba, Clark Gregg, and Colm Feore. The film opens in 3D on May 6th.

First Trailer for THE THREE MUSKETEERS
by Matt Goldberg Posted: March 25th, 2011
The first trailer for The Three Musketeers has gone online and it is a doozy. This is The Three Musketeers as only director Paul W.S. Anderson could make it. And that way is incredibly stupid. While I won’t hold up the 1993 version as a piece of brilliant modern cinema, it at least felt like a good, old-fashioned adventure movie that wasn’t embarrassed by its source material. Watching the trailer for this new version try so hard to be bad-ass and cool just makes me sad. I half-expected one of the characters to turn directly to the camera and shout, “Classic literature, motherfucker!” and then tossing a 3D book into the audience and the book explodes. I suppose having one of the characters solemnly utter a line like “Only we can prevent the coming apocalypse,” will have to do.


Hit the jump to check out the trailer. The film stars Logan Lerman, Milla Jovovich, Matthew Macfadyen, Ray Stevenson, Luke Evans, Mads Mikkelson, Gabriella Wilde, Juno Temple, Orlando Bloom, and Christoph Waltz. The Three Musketeers opens in 3D on October 14th.

Confirmed: Mila Kunis Joins James Franco in OZ, THE GREAT AND POWERFUL as Theodora
by Adam Chitwood Posted: March 25th, 2011
Last month, it was reported that Mila Kunis was set to join James Franco in director Sam Raimi’s Oz, the Great and Powerful. Today, Variety confirmed Kunis’ casting, announcing that the actress will take on the role of Theodora (aka The Wicked Witch of the West). In this prequel to The Wizard of Oz, Franco will portray a traveling salesman and illusionist who is whisked away to Oz in a hot air balloon, landing in the middle of a battle between three sisters for control of the land. His character eventually becomes the Wizard we know from the 1939 film.


Theodora is initially a good witch, alongside sister Glinda, but is convinced by bad witch Evanora to switch sides after being jilted by Franco’s character. Theodora and Evanora then set out on a quest to rule Oz themselves. David Lindsay-Abaire (Rabbit-Hole) recently performed a rewrite on the script for Disney. The studio is now searching for actresses to play the other two witches in the film, with Olivia Wilde, Amy Adams, Kate Beckinsale, Keira Knightley and Rebecca Hall all under consideration.

Ivan Reitman on "Ghostbusters 3," "Baywatch" Movie, "Private Parts" Sequel
Posted: March 14th, 2011 by WorstPreviews.com Staff


THR had the chance to sit down with director Ivan Reitman and ask him for updated on some of the projects that he has been rumored for, including "Ghostbusters 3," a big screen version of "Baywatch" and the sequel to Howard Stern's "Private Parts."


Ghostbusters 3: "There's a lot of talk about 'Ghostbusters III.' And there's a very good script that the other cast members have read and liked. We're just waiting for Bill Murray to read it."


Baywatch: "We still don't have a script that's makeable. I think it's a big opportunity. This is a comedy, and I think we have a very interesting take — a classical idea that will be fresh for the world audience. It's one of the best-known titles that's out there."


Private Parts 2: "I spoke to Howard. He brings it up all the time. There is a great sequel story in it. But I doubt it will happen. If he's going to do another film, my guess is that it's probably not going to be the sequel to 'Private Parts.'"

Stunning Olly Moss Posters for Duncan Jones’ MOON and SOURCE CODE

by Matt Goldberg    Posted: March 4th, 2011

Artist Olly Moss has created two gorgeous posters for Duncan Jones’ Moon and the director’s upcoming film Source Code.  The two posters are part of Mondo’s new “Director’s Series”.  The Source Code poster is so much better than the official one, which makes the movie look like it’s about a man who’s being attacked by iPads.

Both posters measure 18″x24″ and cost $35 each.  The Moon poster is limited to an edition of 250 while the Source Code poster is limited to an edition of 200.  Hit the jump to check out both of these beauties along with a statement on Duncan Jones about having his work added to Mondo’s Director Series.  Be sure you’re following @MondoNews for the sale date announcement.  Source Code will make its world premiere on March 11th at the SXSW Film Festival.  It opens nationwide on April 1st.

Pierce Brosnan Joins Susanne Bier’s ALL YOU NEED IS LOVE

by Matt Goldberg    Posted: March 4th, 2011

Pierce Brosnan will star in Susanne Bier’s upcoming light-hearted romance movie All You Need Is Love.  Bier, who won an Oscar for In a Better World and is known more for her stark family melodramas, told the Italian newspaper La Repubblica that All You Need Is Love is “a tender story with a much lighter atmosphere than my previous works: Enough with conflicts.”  24 Frames reports that Bier wrote Brosnan’s role with the actor in mind.  Oddly, La Repubblica reports that the film will center on a Danish family, and Brosnan doesn’t speak the language.  However, it’s possible that movie is bilingual or that the Danish family will simply speak English.

I’ve found Brosnan to be a far more exciting actor ever since he broke free of James Bond.  Those films gave his profile a boost and he did a fine job, but he’s done far more memorable work since then in movies like The Matador, Seraphim Falls, and The Ghost Writer.  He recently joined the comedy I Don’t Know How She Does It and will next be seen in the religious comedy Salvation Boulevard.

New Trailer for James Gunn’s SUPER Starring Rainn Wilson and Ellen Page

by Matt Goldberg    Posted: March 4th, 2011

IFC has released a trailer for James Gunn’s upcoming superhero flick Super.  I like that the trailer has to animate over the language and violence in order to make it viewable for all-ages.  It’s a James Gunn movie and it’s best to expect something violent, twisted, and darkly comic.  Super looks like it’s going to deliver on all three counts and that makes me very excited to see this flick.

D.J. Caruso to Direct PREACHER

by Matt Goldberg    Posted: February 22nd, 2011

The screen adaptation of Garth Ennis’ Preacher has been stuck in development hell for years.  The latest incarnation has I Am Number Four helmer D.J. Caruso stepping up to the plate to direct the flick.  /Film first mentioned his name in connection to the film last week, and now Caruso has announced the deal on his Twitter page.  We have independently confirmed that the deal is in the final stages.
Preacher has had a rough road to the screen. Back in 2008, HBO decided to nix an adaptation directed by Mark Steven Johnson (Daredevil).  Then Sam Mendes got into the director’s chair with John August set to write the script.  Mendes eventually moved on to do the 23rd James Bond film and it’s unknown whether or not Caruso will use August’s script.  Hit the jump for my thoughts on Caruso getting the gig.

Steve Carell to Star in DOGS OF BABEL

by Matt Goldberg    Posted: February 22nd, 2011

Steve Carell has signed on to star in the drama Dogs of Babel.  Screenwriter Jamie Linden (Dear John) adapted the script from the novel by Carolyn Parkhurst.  Here’s the plot synopsis per the press release:

The story follows Paul Iverson, a linguistics professor, who returns home one day to find his wife dead in their backyard. Police rule her death an accident, but Paul is not quite sure. The only witness to her death is their dog Lorelei. In Paul’s grief-stricken search for answers, he endeavors to teach Lorelei to talk in the hopes that he can uncover what happened the day his wife died.

While Carell has done films with dramatic elements (Little Miss Sunshine and Dan in Real Life), this sounds like a big departure for him.  However, he also has tons of comedies on his plate, and it’s unknown when Dogs of Babel will go in front of cameras.  The project is currently searching for a director.  Hit the jump for press release.

Samuel L. Jackson Confirms He’ll Be in THOR and CAPTAIN AMERICA: THE FIRST AVENGER; Says Nick Fury Will Have a New Female Sidekick

by Matt Goldberg    Posted: February 3rd, 2011

At the end of last year, we reported that Nick Fury (Samuel L. Jackson) would not be making a cameo in Kenneth Branagh’s Thor.  However, that no longer appears to be the case.  Last night on Late Night with Jimmy Fallon, Jackson confirmed that he had recently shot a scene not only for Thor, but for Captain America: The First Avenger.  Here’s what Jackson told Fallon:

In the next month or so, I have to do one day on Thor, and I gotta do another day on Captain America, and in April we start The Avengers — the big deal with everybody. Thor and Captain America are pretty much done, but I haven’t done my part in them yet. I’m just connective tissue for them to join The Avengers.

Jackson also said he didn’t know if he would be appearing after the credits like he did in Iron Man.  Hit the jump for what Jackson had to say regarding Nick Fury’s new female sidekick.

New Images of Kristen Stewart and Garrett Hedlund in Walter Salles’ ON THE ROAD

by Talia Soghomonian    Posted: February 3rd, 2011

The first set photos from the big screen adaptation of Jack Kerouac’s seminal novel On the Road were published last November, and new images from the Walter Salles directed movie have finally been released.  The images show Salles’ choice of muted colors to depict the Sixties aesthetics and the smoky, hazy Beatnik ambience in which On the Road’s heroes, Sal and Dean, evolve. Actors Kristen Stewart, Sam Riley and Garrett Hedlund look über-cool enough to play the lead roles of the Beat Generation’s most famous protagonists.  Hit the jump for the synopsis and images:

Anthony Hopkins Interview THE RITE; Plus Updates on THOR, 360, Composing Music, Painting, and a lot More

by Steve 'Frosty' Weintraub    Posted: January 26th, 2011

Opening next weekend is director Mikael Hafstroem’s (1408) supernatural thriller The Rite and it stars Anthony Hopkins, Colin O’Donoghue, Alice Braga, Ciaran Hinds, and Toby Jones. “Inspired by true events, The Rite follows skeptical seminary student Michael Kovak (O’Donoghue), who reluctantly attends exorcism school at the Vatican. While in Rome, he meets an unorthodox priest, Father Lucas (Hopkins), who introduces him to the darker side of his faith.”  For more on the film, watch some clips here.

I recently got to participate in a roundtable interview with Hopkins.  During the extended interview, Hopkins talked about what drew him to this project, how does he work with directors as most could be intimidated, how is he so good at scaring people, upcoming projects like Thor and 360, and he also talked about painting, composing music, and so much more.  Hit the jump to read or listen to what he had to say:

Will Smith and Jay-Z Team-Up for ANNIE Remake

by Jason Barr    Posted: January 26th, 2011

It’s official: the Will Smith/Jay-Z Annie remake is going into production.  One week ago, we reported that the pair were in talks to revamp the classic property as a starring vehicle for Smith’s daughter Willow.  At that time, however, it was believed that Jay-Z’s contribution would be confined to the film’s music.  The press release we received today, though, confirms that the self-proclaimed “best rapper alive” will team-up with Will and Jada Pinkett Smith’s Overbrook Entertainment as a co-producer on the project.  In addition to Overbrook and Jay-Z’s (a.k.a. Shawn Carter) involvement, Sony Pictures Entertainment will help develop the Annie remake.

For more on the project, hit the jump to check out the full press release.

Ridley Scott’s PROMETHEUS Moves to June 8, 2012; Scott Brothers Set to Produce THE DRIVERS

by Jason Barr    Posted: January 26th, 2011

20th Century Fox has changed the release date for Ridley Scott’s original sci-fi film Prometheus.  Heat Vision confirms that the project, originally slated for a March 9th release, will now hit theaters on June 8th, 2012.  Although details regarding the film are currently sparse, we do know that Damon Lindelof (Lost, Cowboys & Aliens) is currently re-working the script with Scott and that Noomi Rapace is set to star in the summer tentpole.

For the sake of context, it’s important to mention that news of Prometheus‘ release date change comes not far removed from Disney’s announcement that its John Carter of Mars adaptation is now set for a March 9th release.  As for Scott, in addition to Prometheus, it was reported earlier today that he and brother Tony are using their Scott Free moniker to produce a 1960s period television series entitled The Drivers.  For more on that project, hit the jump.
