The 'GI Joe: Rise of the Cobra' actress joined the actor - whom she broke off her engagement to in 2005, after she found he had cheated on her with his children's carer Daisy Wright - in the Caribbean, but only after he agreed to her ultimatum. A source told the Daily Mirror newspaper: "Haunted by what happened the last time they were together, Sienna is leaving nothing to chance second time around. "She wants her and Jude to work on their friendship first and foremost, and then see if love blossoms. "But by the same token, she doesn't want any »

Johnny Depp and Jude Law Discuss Taking Over for Heath Ledger in The Imaginarium of Doctor Parnassus

19 hours ago | Reelzchannel.com | See recent ReelzChannel news »

When Heath Ledger passed away last year, he was in the middle of shooting director Terry Gilliam's The Imaginarium of Doctor Parnassus. It seemed like the movie would have to remain unfinished, until a plot convention was created that allowed Johnny Depp, Jude Law, and Colin Farrell to step in and take turns sharing Ledger's final role. Both Depp and Law have finally opened up about what it was like to fill in for Ledger during an interview with HitFix. Depp praised the production, particularly the performances.

It was an honor to represent Heath. He was the only player out there breathing heavy down the back of every established actor's neck with a thundering and ungovernable talent that came up on you quick, hissing rather mischievously with that cheeky grin, "Hey... get on out of my way boys, I'm coming through..." and does he ever!!! Heath is a marvel, »

Jude Law's Watson edge

Jude Law was intrigued to be given the chance to play an ''edgy'' Watson. The 36-year-old British actor - who portrays the title character's sidekick Watson alongside Robert Downey Jr. in the Guy Ritchie blockbuster 'Sherlock Holmes' - said he hoped he'd bought something a little different to the new adaptation. He said: ''When I was asked to get involved, Robert was already set as Sherlock and Guy was directing and I knew from then that it was going to be a different take on the older films of Sherlock Holmes. And it fascinated me. ''Obviously they were coming to me to .. »

Sienna Miller lays down condition for Jude Law

23 hours ago | Monsters and Critics | See recent Monsters and Critics news »

Jude Law got Sienna Miller's consent for a romantic-yet-family getaway with his kids on one proviso. The UK Mirror claims Miller was so concerned not to have a replay of her past break-up with Law, when he cheated on her with a nanny, that she laid down the terms for their lovely island holiday. A source said: 'Haunted by what happened the last time they were together, Sienna is leaving nothing to chance second time around. She wants her and Jude to work on their friendship first and foremost, and then see if love blossoms. But by the same token, she doesn't want any reminders of his infidelity. So she's made sure the children's nanny has returned »

Ragtime Folds on Broadway; But Don't Blame Hollywood Stars

30 December 2009 11:40 AM, PST | TheImproper.com | See recent TheImproper.com news »

Ragtime the $8 million Broadway musical revival is closing after a disappointing run, despite generally upbeat reviews when it opened only two months ago. Some say it couldn’t compete against other shows without a name – read Hollywood — star on the marquee. Ragtime to contend with other shows that included such Hollywood luminaries as Jude Law, Sienna Miller Catherine Zeta-Jones, Scarlett Johansson, Hugh Jackman and Daniel Craig among their casts. Hollywood stars definitely help bring in tourists. But blame poor marketing and cheap producers for Ragtime’s demise. »

Landov

As he promotes his new film Sherlock Holmes, in which he plays the character of Dr. Watson, Jude Law says that it is the role of “dad” which continues to take precedence. Asked by Parade what’s most important in his life, the 37-year-old actor replies “being a daddy is what counts.”

Noting that he’s been “busy rehearsing” the role for more than ten years, Jude couldn’t help but reflect on how fatherhood has changed him in ways big and small.

The Imaginarium of Doctor Parnassus

30 December 2009 5:00 AM, PST | The Culture Post | See recent The Culture Post news »

Without being necessarily perfect, the film pretends to offer more than its counterparts who excessively rely on CGIs. This might be slightly true. However, the story is fairly thin and we’re left with a simple and decent blockbuster. Nothing more. Nothing less.

Dr. Parnassus (Christopher Plummer) is 1000 years old. With the help of Valentina (Lily Cole), his fifteen-years-old daughter, along with Percy (Verne Troyer) and Anton (Andrew Garfield), Valentina’s friend, Dr. Parnassus runs a travelling show. In this show, a member of the audience is invited on stage in order to be sent on the other side of a mirror. Afterwards, he/she will be plunged into his/her own imagination.

However, there’s no amusement behind this and the troupe is seriously poor. Many centuries ago, Dr. Parnassus made a deal with the Devil (Tom Waits). In exchange of immortality, Dr. Parnassus must promise he’ll give »

Bad boy boyfriend Jude Law

Jude Law acts like a bad boy because women like it. The 37-year-old 'Sherlock Holmes' star, who has been holidaying with ex-girlfriend Sienna Miller in the Caribbean over the Christmas period, insists he wouldn't be so popular. He told Parade magazine: "I think women like bad boys. That's been my experience. "At a certain age you figure out what works for you and being a good boy never worked for me. And if you're a bad boy, they like it." "But, eventually, you have to grow up and relies relationships are hard work. It's like cultivating anything. They need attention."

You review: Sherlock Holmes

30 December 2009 1:43 AM, PST | The Guardian - Film News | See recent The Guardian - Film News news »

Did Guy Ritchie's retooled, shirtless Sherlock set your pulse racing or did he have you in stitches instead?

Guy Ritchie's take on Conan Doyle's classic English sleuth is not without its problems: his protagonist does not quite fit the action hero mould into which the much-maligned film-maker has squeezed him, and those who find Ritchie's more laddish tendencies distasteful may be dismayed by the movie's predilection for extreme violence. Nevertheless, the critics have just about bought Sherlock Holmes as an intermittently entertaining romp through a stylised Victorian London, thanks mainly to a barnstorming performance by Robert Downey Jr in the title role and its Dan Brown-lite storyline.

This Holmes is up against the villainous Lord Blackwood (Mark Strong), an apparently immortal pseudo-fascist necromancer who plans to lead England on a mission to reconquer America and eventually the world – presumably a heinous plan cooked up to speed »
