Bradley Cooper & Abbie Cornish Cover 'Marie Claire' April 2011

Bradley Cooper and Abbie Cornish get cozy on the cover of Marie Claire magazine’s April 2011 issue, on newsstands Tuesday (March 22).


Here’s what the Limitless co-stars had to share:


Abbie, on her idea of a perfect date: “My ideal date would start with a great meal, good wine for sure, maybe outdoors. Then afterward, some unplanned adventure.”


Bradley Cooper, on his late father: “I grew up in Abington, Pennsylvania, across the street from a movie theater, and went to the movies all of the time. My father was a huge cinephile. I remember watching Raging Bull with him on cable when I was 10, and when I was 12, him showing me The Elephant Man and Apocalypse Now - all these crazy movies. We use to play this game, “Would you put him in the movie?” We’d pretend we were putting together this great film and decide whether an actor was worthy to be in it. It was this adorable father/son thing. I would live with movies for weeks, pretending I was whoever was in it. As a kid, I just knew I wanted to be up in that world.” [Sadly, Cooper's father died just before press time]

Hilary Swank Shoots 'New Year's Eve'

Hilary Swank bundles up on the film set of New Year’s Eve on Monday (March 14) in New York City.


The 36-year-old actress has said that she would prefer more comedy roles instead of dramatic roles. “I remember working with Richard LaGravenese on two films back to back and he said to me, ‘You’re one of the funniest people I know and I wouldn’t have guessed that,” she told the Belfast Telegraph.


“I understand why people, when they think of me, might think of drama. That’s what I’m well known for, but it doesn’t bother me at all. I love doing drama, and it’s just nice to be known for something! I feel blessed to have had the opportunities that I’ve had,” Hilary said.

Rihanna Covers 'Vogue' April 2011

Rihanna is red hot in Chanel on the cover of Vogue’s April 2011 issue.


Here’s what the 23-year-old Loud singer, who posed for celeb photographer Annie Leibovitz, had to share:


On filming Battleship in Hawaii: “There were all these people, cameras, and huge cranes out in the middle of the ocean. And I got to do some stunts, which was incredible. I loved it - especially diving into the ocean.”


On becoming content with her body: “Over the holidays, and even during filming, I realized that I actually like my body, even if it’s not perfect according to the book. I just feel sexy. For the first time, I don’t want to get rid of the curves. I just want to tone it up. My body is comfortable, and it’s not unhealthy, so I’m going to rock with it.”


On fashion: “It’s become more about taking a risk. When I am putting looks together, I dare myself to make something work. I always look for the most interesting silhouette or something that’s a little off, but I have to figure it out. I have to make it me. I think that’s the thrill in fashion.”

Liam Neeson Is Back for Taken 2!


Liam Neeson to reprise Role in Taken 2A scheduling snafu between talent and writers has been worked through so that Liam Neeson can now team up with writer Luc Besson for a sequel to 2009's surprise global hit Taken, which sees the actor reprise his role as Bryan Mills, the retired government operative who decimated the Paris underworld to free his kidnapped daughter, portrayed by Maggie Grace.


Luc Besson has teamed up with Robert Mark Kamen on the script, while he is in talks with Olivier Megaton to direct the sequel.


Production on Taken 2 is being eyed for the end of the year, or early 2012.


Taken was released January 30th, 2009 and stars Liam Neeson, Maggie Grace, Leland Orser, Jon Gries, David Warshofsky, Holly Valance, Katie Cassidy, Xander Berkeley. The film is directed by Pierre Morel.


Untitled Taken Sequel comes to theaters in 2013 and stars Liam Neeson.

Wes Craven Talks More Scream Sequels, Plus Scream 4 Viral Site


Wes Craven says he is down for two more sequelsA new fan-created, viral site has cropped up for Scream 4: WoodsboroHighSchool.com, which is centered around the old school of Sidney Prescott in the fictional Woodsboro. The site is set up like the school's website that has been hacked, littered with easter eggs, although I wonder if it really is a school's site that has been hacked.


Also, in the latest issue of Total Film (via Scream-Trilogy) Wes Craven was asked if there are any more Screams to come after Scream 4:




"When I initially met with Kevin Williamson, he sketched out what the next two would be, and I found it really fascinating," he concludes. "A lot depends on whether they come up with scripts to flesh out. But certainly, I'm up for it, if the script is there. It's a fascinating thing to do two trilogies in a career."




Scream 4 comes to theaters April 15th, 2011 and stars Neve Campbell, Courteney Cox, David Arquette, Hayden Panettiere, Rory Culkin, Emma Roberts, Ashley Greene, Nico Tortorella. The film is directed by Wes Craven.

Phillip Seymour Hoffman Joins Upstate


Philip Seymour Hoffman to executive produce the HBO series Upstate
Philip Seymour Hoffman is on board to produce the new TV drama Upstate, a project we exclusively broke the news on in January. While Philip Seymour Hoffman will executive produce the new HBO series, it isn't clear if he will star in the project.


The story centers on a prison guard named Roy who lands a new job, relocating his family to a town that has been built around a for-profit prison facility. Robert Glaudini and Brett C. Leonard (Hung) wrote the pilot script. Emily Ziff will also serve as executive producer alongside Philip Seymour Hoffman, Robert Glaudini, and Brett C. Leonard.


Philip Seymour Hoffman will reunite with Robert Glaudini once again on this project. Robert Glaudini wrote the stage play for Jack Goes Boating and the screenplay for the movie version, both of which featured Philip Seymour Hoffman as the title character. Philip Seymour Hoffman also made his directorial debut with the movie version of Jack Goes Boating.


We spoke with Robert Glaudini back in January, when he was promoting the Blu-ray and DVD release of Jack Goes Boating. Here's what he had to say about Upstate back then.




"Upstate is the story of the community that develops around a private prison, which is run for profit. In other words, the prison is built and as people work there and as the economy improves in that immediate area, a suburban community develops around this industry. It will not be an upstairs-downstairs story. The main characters are a correctional officer, his wife and his two kids. It will be about how the job impacts his family and other families in the community. We're kind of excited about it. We think it could make a great story."




No production schedule was given for Upstate at this time.

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.'"

***Director Jon Favreau Breaks Down the COWBOYS & ALIENS Teaser Trailer with Video Commentary ***First Synopsis for UNDERWORLD 4: NEW DAWN

Director Jon Favreau Breaks Down the COWBOYS & ALIENS Teaser Trailer with Video Commentary

by Brendan Bettinger    Posted: November 22nd, 2010

In a neat feature, Jon Favreau breaks down the  recently released (and very cool) teaser trailer for Cowboys & Aliens in a video commentary.  Favreau is appropriately self-deprecating (“Let’s look back on the fond memories of the Cowboys & Aliens trailer”), but shares some interesting tidbits.  For instance, the opening of the trailer is the first shot of the film, and the wire you see yanking a cowboy into the air is not a goof, but a device that the aliens use to abduct their prey.

Favreau stuck around to answer a few additional questions, including how they approached the mashup of sci-fi and Westerns, and how Harrison Ford came to be in the film.  Daniel Craig, Olivia Wilde, Noah Ringer, Paul Dano, Keith Carradine, and Sam Rockwell also star.Hit the jump to check out the clips.

Here’s the trailer commentary courtesy of MTV:

—

“Every Genre Has Its Own Set Of Rules”

—

“The Cowboys & Aliens Trailer Is Just A Teaser”

—

Harrison Ford Casting Was “A Long Shot”

Cowboys & Aliens opens July 29, 2011.  Here’s the official synopsis:

1873. Arizona Territory. A stranger with no memory of his past stumbles into the hard desert town of Absolution. The only hint to his history is a mysterious shackle that encircles one wrist. What he discovers is that the people of Absolution don’t welcome strangers, and nobody makes a move on its streets unless ordered to do so by the iron-fisted Colonel Dolarhyde. It’s a town that lives in fear.

But Absolution is about to experience fear it can scarcely comprehend as the desolate city is attacked by marauders from the sky. Screaming down with breathtaking velocity and blinding lights to abduct the helpless one by one, these monsters challenge everything the residents have ever known.

Now, the stranger they rejected is their only hope for salvation. As this gunslinger slowly starts to remember who he is and where he’s been, he realizes he holds a secret that could give the town a fighting chance against the alien force. With the help of the elusive traveler Ella, he pulls together a posse comprised of former opponents – townsfolk, Dolarhyde and his boys, outlaws and Apache warriors – all in danger of annihilation. United against a common enemy, they will prepare for an epic showdown for survival.
