Mendes' Anger At New Orleans Aftermath
1 hour ago | WENN | See recent WENN news »
Eva Mendes has slammed the U.S. government for its response to the 2005 hurricane in New Orleans, insisting officials have "failed" the city.
The Big Easy was left devastated by Hurricane Katrina when the levees broke and flood water wiped out many residential areas.
Stars including Brad Pitt and Sandra Bullock threw themselves into helping residents rebuild the city - but Mendes is adamant the government has not done enough to aid locals.
The sexy star filmed new movie Bad Lieutenant: Port Of Call New Orleans there, and was stunned to see some areas had barely changed since the disaster.
She tells Fox News, "It was exciting because we brought business there, but it was pretty devastating. I was in shock at some parts, I hadn't been there ever so I was still in shock that this happened in our country.
"I felt we were somewhere else in certain areas. Our government failed this; you can see they failed this. It was pretty intense." »
Paul Giamatti: 'I'm clearly not Brad Pitt'
4 hours ago | The Guardian - Film News | See recent The Guardian - Film News news »
Paul Giamatti tends to play moody defeatists and rageful misanthropes. Which is just the way he likes it
'I'm clearly not Brad Pitt, and I'm never going to be Brad Pitt," says Paul Giamatti, closely inspecting his coffee cup in a Polish restaurant in a leafy neighbourhood of Brooklyn. "But I don't think I'd want to be Brad Pitt, you know? So that's Ok."
This is partly just a reference to Giamatti's "character-actor" looks, but also to something deeper: a sense of composure, of being comfortable in one's own skin, that the archetypal Hollywood star exudes but both Giamatti and his characters tend to lack. "You know that thing where you can just fuckin' stand there and people can't take their eyes off the person? I don't have that weight of charisma," he explains. "That's not me. If I just stand there, it's going to be boring. You're going to »

A first look at The Fighter

The first images have arrived for David O Russell's latest, The Fighter. Originally developed by Darren Aronofsky and planned for Matt Damon and Mark Wahlberg, the film's been through the wringer with financial and script worries and Damon dropping out with a possible Brad Pitt replacement never working out. Aronofsky himself left the film in April, with Russell taking over for the tale of Boston boxer "Irish" Mickey Ward (Wahlberg) and his trainer/former fighter-turned-druggie Dicky Eklund (Christian Bale), plus Amy Adams as...

The Tomb Raider star is planning to take home a little girl from the Middle Eastern country, according to U.S. magazine Ok!

A spokesperson for the Immigration and Naturalization Service in Washington D.C. reportedly confirmed that "only (Angelina's) name was on the (adoption) papers."
The actress has three adopted children, two little boys from Asia - Maddox and Pax, and a daughter, Zahara, from Africa, as well as three biological kids with Pitt - Shiloh, Knox and Vivienne. »
'Twilight' Dominates People's Choice Awards
12 hours ago | Fandango | See recent Fandango news »
Let's be quite honest with ourselves: The people aren't choosing quiet art-house movies or no-name character actors – they're choosing Twilight and True Blood and anything else that involves a vampire in some way, shape or form. The nominations for this year's People's Choice Awards have been announced, and not surprisingly they're filled with Twilight-related names. In fact, out of all the movie categories, only two do not feature Twilight: Favorite Breakout Movie Actress and Favorite Comedic Star. But when you sneak on over to the other categories, you'll notice that Robert Pattinson is among those vying for Favorite Movie Actor (alongside Brad Pitt, Hugh Jackman, Johnny Depp and Ryan Reynolds), and Kristen Stewart is in the running for Favorite Movie Actress...

Moneyball Starts Throwing Pitches to Other Directors Including Marc Webb and Bennett Mitchell
17 hours ago | Collider.com | See recent Collider.com news »
Last June, Steven Soderbergh’s adaptation of Michael Lewis’ book Moneyball fell apart only three days before shooting was set to begin. With Brad Pitt as the lead, Moneyball focused on the true story of how the Oakland Athletics became a competitive team by relying on statistics rather than the higher payrolls of their competitors. It’s unlikely for a film to reach production so soon with a big name director and star and have the plug pulled at the last minute. However, even though Soderbergh has moved on to other projects (including another one about baseball) Sony Pictures is still looking to move the process forward and meeting with several directors including Marc Webb ((500) Days of Summer) and Bennett Miller (Capote). Hit the jump to see if someone can finally hit this movie.
According to Risky Biz Blog, Sony and Pitt have met with several directors and although the »

Sony Wants Marc Webb or Bennett Miller to Direct Moneyball
17 hours ago | firstshowing.net | See recent FirstShowing.net news »
Yep, even more news on the Moneyball front, if you can handle it. If you recall, back in June we reported on the big fiasco surrounding Sony pulling Steven Soderbergh off of production days before shooting was supposed to start. And yet because they're still fond of the concept, they've been rushing to try and turn it around, which at first involved hiring Aaron Sorkin to do a rewrite of the script. And now Steve Zeitchik from Risky Business reports that they have two new directors lined up, but haven't settled on one of them yet. The top choices: Capote director Bennett Miller and 500 Days of Summer director Marc Webb. As we explained way back when, Sony has been having somewhat of a hard time finding a replacement director, because Brad Pitt has to like whoever they choose and everyone else has to approve of them, too.

SoftBank sell: should Quentin Tarantino be advertising Japanese cellphones
20 hours ago | The Guardian - Film News | See recent The Guardian - Film News news »
Tarantino is the latest film star to be showing up on the small screen in Japan. Embarrassing? Or, rather, more embarrassing than Brad Pitt?
In the not-too distant past it was quite possible for Hollywood stars to pocket what we can only imagine are swagbags of cash for starring in some pretty goofy Japanese advertisements, safe in the knowledge that no one they knew well would ever get to see them. Unfortunately (for them, at least) YouTube has changed all that.
That said, Quentin Tarantino's latest foray into acting is unlikely to prove tremendously embarrassing - if only because it shows the director of Kill Bill and Pulp Fiction as a good sport. Tarantino is the latest celeb to appear in a long-running series of ads for Japanese mobile phone manufacturer SoftBank, starring the White family, whose members include Me (played by popular singer/actress Aya Ueto), Dad (a »

Jolie And Voight Mend Broken Relationship
21 hours ago | WENN | See recent WENN news »
Angelina Jolie has reconciled with her father Jon Voight after eight years of estrangement.
The Hollywood beauty cut her dad out of her life in 2001 after he voiced concerns about her mental health shortly before she adopted son Maddox from Cambodia.
Voight has made attempts to mend his fractured relationship with Jolie on numerous occasions, and reportedly sent the actress a copy of their forgotten 1982 comedy Lookin' To Get Out over the summer, when it was released on DVD for the first time.
And the veteran star's efforts have paid off - the pair is in contact, although Voight admits they don't talk as frequently as he would have liked.
He tells Us Weekly magazine, "We're in touch, but not regularly. We love each other and that's the most important thing."
A close friend of Jolie adds it was her partner Brad Pitt who encouraged her to reunite with her movie star father.
The insider says, "Angie made the initial contact. Brad has been supportive - a key factor in her reaching out." »
Marc Webb And Bennett Miller Both Want To Play Moneyball
21 hours ago | cinemablend.com | See recent Cinema Blend news »
Right now it feels like Moneyball will always be "that movie that they kicked Steven Soderbergh off of," especially since they've yet to hire a director, 4 months after deciding to keep the project going without him. According to THR, they've got two guys in mind to take this project forward at last, and on the surface they could be more different. In one corner you have Bennett Miller, who made his directorial debut with Capote in 2005, and in the other there's Marc Webb, who made his own directorial debut this summer with 500 Days of Summer. You've got flashy vs. quiet, hip vs. traditional, and maybe most importantly, real life vs. arch romance. If we're judging each director on the one film they've made, how do we figure out which would be best? Brad Pitt has remained attached to the project even after Soderbergh bounced, and is apparently now sitting on »
Directors in Line For Moneyball Include Capote’s Bennett Miller and (500) Days of Summer’s Marc Webb
21 hours ago | Slash Film | See recent Slash Film news »
Moneyball still isn't dead yet. Aaron Sorkin has been working on a new draft of the script since Steven Soderbergh was essentially booted a few months ago, but the film still needs a director. And that's where Capote's Bennett Miller and Marc Webb, director of (500) Days of Summer, might come into the picture. They're on the list of a few guys that Sony has been talking to as possible new helmers for the film, which surprisingly still has Brad Pitt attached to star. The question is, who'll get the job? THR has a report, and so does The Playlist, the latter of which has come up with some very good Soderbergh-related news of late. THR doesn't really pin either director to the gig, but does give Marc Webb more prominence in the report, which could lead to a reading that he's the guy. But The Playlist has heard that »

Marc Webb and Bennet Miller Eyeing Moneyball
22 hours ago | MovieWeb | See recent MovieWeb news »
While no offers have been made, it seems Columbia has a few front-runners to direct a biopic on baseball innovator Billy Beane. According to The Hollywood Reporter's Risky Business Blog, directors Marc Webb ((500) Days of Summer) and Bennet Miller (Capote) are the front-runners to direct Moneyball.
The project was originally set up as a Steven Soderbergh project, but he will no longer be involved in the film and screenwriter Aaron Sorkin was brought on in July to re-write the film.
Brad Pitt is still on board to star in the film. We'll certainly keep you posted on any new directorial developments of Moneyball as soon as we have more information.

'Moneyball' Seeks Director
23 hours ago | The Wrap | See recent The Wrap news »
By the Hollywood Reporter
Several months after Aaron Sorkin came aboard “Moneyball” -- and slightly longer since the plug was pulled on Steven Soderbergh just before the start of production -- the underdog baseball pic is well into its next stage, or inning, if you’re in a punning mood.
Several directors have met with star Brad Pitt, studio execs and/or producers over the past weeks. And while the studio has not formally made any offers, a number of names have surfaced, including that of the Oscar nominee Bennett Miller and the suddenly ubiquitous Marc Webb.

Vampire love affair leads race for public's votes with six nods
It's unlikely to figure at next year's Oscars, but the Twilight Saga films, based on Stephenie Meyers's books about a teenage girl who falls in love with a vampire, look set to triumph where it really counts. The franchise leads the nominations for the 2010 People's Choice awards, with six nods.
Twilight is up for best actor, in the form of Robert Pattinson, who lines up alongside Brad Pitt, Hugh Jackman, Johnny Depp and Ryan Reynolds. The film also gets a nod in the best actress (for Kristen Stewart), onscreen team, breakout actor (Taylor Lautner), movie franchise and favourite movie categories.
Star Trek, this summer's successful reinvention of the science fiction franchise, is in joint second spot with four nominations, including two for breakout actor for the new Kirk and Spock, Chris Pine and Zachary Quinto. X-Men Origins: Wolverine, thecritically-panned »
