[TV] Television Snippets - Sweeping Up
9 November 2009 2:42 AM, PST | JustPressPlay.net | See recent JustPressPlay news »
As we approach Fall Sweeps, the fall season is full ramped up and ready to go, with a slew of renewals and suspensions, new ratings giants, old favorites continuing to fade out, and the World Series finally ending so we can go back to our regularly scheduled programming.
In ratings news, the headline for Sunday, Monday, and Wednesday was "World Series dominates ratings." The World Series hit a 5 year high this year with viewers, ranging from 16 to 22 million viewers a game. In Tuesday ratings news, V, which faced a large number of hurdles in getting on the air, debuted to huge numbers. While not able to beat TV ratings goliath NCIS (19.4 million viewers), the ABC science fiction had a healthy 13.9 viewers and won the ever important 18-49 age range for viewers.
Sadly enough for me, a repeat of Bones on Friday night at 9pm brought in 4 million viewers, far more »

Iron Man 2 War Machine Updates
4 November 2009 10:31 AM, PST | ScreenRant.com | See recent Screen Rant news »
Checking back in with next summer’s most anticipated movie, Iron Man 2, we have some new updates about War Machine, the armored battle suit worn by Jim “Rhodey” Rhodes, who will be played by Don Cheadle in the sequel, taking over the role from Iron Man’s Terrence Howard.
The first update comes from Cheadle himself, talking about his performance as Rhodey/War Machine armor and hinting at how much screen time the actual armor will get. The second update comes our way via Sam Rockwell, who stars as Iron Man 2’s evil mastermind industrialist Justin Hammer, the man who (we now know) will be responsible for creating the War Machine armor and sticking Rhodey in the cockpit.
Both of these updates come our way via MTV Splash Page, who have been diligent about keeping up on all things Iron Man 2.

'Iron Man 2': The War Machine Team-Up Addressed
3 November 2009 9:10 PM, PST | Aceshowbiz | See recent Aceshowbiz news »
More details on the War Machine of "Iron Man 2" have been spilled. Dropping by MTV recently, Sam Rockwell who will be seen as Justin Hammer in the "Iron Man" sequel gave an interesting scoop on the relationship between his Tony Stark's rival character and Don Cheadle's Colonel James "Rhodey" Rhodes.
Of the two characters' alliance, the 40-year-old actor said, "Don and I, we're working together. He works with me in spite of some of my personality flaws." Calling Hammer "a bit of a shark" in explaining the "personality flaws" remark, he then detailed that "Don's character, Rhodey, needs to work with me. He has no choice. So we team up and we build this fabulous War Machine."
Asked further whether his character might take advantage of the opportunity to try the War Machine armor on, the actor who voiced Darwin in "G-Force" stated that he has no chance to do so. »

From Splash Page: Yesterday, we brought you an update from Don Cheadle about his experiences in the War Machine armor during "Iron Man 2," but today we a few more, exclusive details to share about the much-anticipated debut of the armor Tony Stark isn't wearing in the film (as far as we know).
When "Iron Man 2" actor Sam Rockwell dropped by Splash Page HQ recently, we asked him about the relationship between his character (rival industrialist Justin Hammer) and Don Cheadle's character (Stark's military buddy James "Rhodey" Rhodes).

Don Cheadle Offers 'Iron Man 2' War Machine Update
2 November 2009 7:46 AM, PST | MTV Splash Page | See recent MTV Splash Page news »
Playing a superhero is never easy—especially when somebody else has played the role first. Such was the dilemma for actor Don Cheadle, who takes over the role of James "Rhodey" Rhodes from Terrence Howard in next summer's "Iron Man 2." In addition to replacing Howard, Cheadle also gets to don the War Machine armor, something that Howard was never able to achieve.
In an interview with Moviefone, Cheadle admitted to some awkwardness surrounding the takeover due to his friendship with Howard—but the discomfort didn't last too long.
"Terrence is a friend of mine," said Cheadle. "But the actual playing it, I just felt like it was my role. I wasn't made to feel like I had to sort of take care of what was done before. I really feel like I could make it my own."

Casting Notes: Cheadle and Gleeson, Witherspoon is #1, and Djimon Hounsou Works With Ong Bak Director
30 October 2009 8:55 AM, PDT | Slash Film | See recent Slash Film news »
Here's your blast of casting bites for the end of the week. First up, Don Cheadle and Brendan Gleeson will team as unlikely cop partners in The Guard. Film follows the confrontational small-town Sgt. Gerry Boyle (Gleeson), who likes hookers and isn't interested in drug runners, and FBI Agent Everett (Cheadle) in a tale of international coke smuggling. Sounds on the surface like an Irish reversal of Beverly Hills Cop, where the small-town local guy is the irreverent jokester while the outsider is terribly straightlaced. John Michael McDonagh writes and directs. If it weren't for the cast, and the fact that it takes place in Ireland (not even sure why that's a draw) I'd be brushing this one off already. [ComingSoon] After the break, Reese Witherspoon demonstrates the first rule and Djimon Hounsou kicks some ass. Reese Witherspoon will produce and star in Rule #1, a tidy little dramedy about "a New »

The Guard Grabs Gleeson And Cheadle

Brendan Gleeson, who plays Alastor .Mad Eye' Moody in Harry Potter, and Hotel Rwanda star Don Cheadle will team up to take on an international drug smuggling operation in director John Michael McDonagh's pic, The Guard.
Gleeson is set to play Seargeant Gerry Boyle, an unorthodox Irish policeman who joins up with unrelenting FBI Agent Wendell Everett, played by Cheadle. Boyle's confrontational personality along with a subversive sense of humour, a dying mother, and a penchant for prostitutes leaves him with little interest in the global cocaine smuggling operation that brings Everett to his door.
The film, which also stars Mark Strong, Liam Cunningham, Fionnula Flanagan, David Wilmot, Rory Keenan, Pat Shortt and Katarina Cas, has just started principal photography in the West of Ireland.

Casting News For The Guard Announced
30 October 2009 12:00 AM, PDT | toxicshock.tv | See recent toxicshock news »
Comingsoon.net is reporting that Brendan Gleeson, Don Cheadle, Mark Strong, Liam Cunningham, Pat Shortt, Fionnuala Flanagan, David Wilmot, Rory Keenan, and Katarina Cas have all been announced as starring in John Michael McDonagh’s “The Guard”, which has just started principal photography in the West of Ireland. The film is about a small-town cop (Gleason) who begrudgingly teams up with a straight-laced FBI agent (Cheadle) in order to uncover an international cocaine-running ring that has set up shop in his town. Despite personality differences between the two, they must set that aside when the drug runners try to take them out of the picture. No release date has been set. [...] »

Anthony Hopkins To Play Odin In 'Thor'
29 October 2009 5:29 PM, PDT | MTV Splash Page | See recent MTV Splash Page news »
Casting rumors regarding "Thor" have included some of Hollywood's best and brightest lately, and now it looks like we could have some official word soon on one of the principal characters in the film.
According to The Hollywood Reporter, Oscar-winning actor Anthony Hopkins is in negotiations to play Odin, the father of Thor, who rules the Norse gods in Asgard. The casting, though not entirely official yet, debunks previous rumors that tagged Shakespearean actor Brian Blessed for the role.
Hopkins, a multiple Oscar nominee who won the award in 1992 for his role as the fiendish cannibal Hannibal Lecter, will join previously announced "Thor" cast members Chris Hemsworth (Thor), Natalie Portman (Jane Foster, Thor's love interest) and Tom Hiddleston (Loki, Thor's half-brother and nemesis).
Jaimie Alexander and Colm Feore were recently reported to have roles in the film, though there's been no official confirmation, while other actors rumored for roles include Robert DeNiro, »

Don Cheadle & Brendan Gleeson as Good Cop Bad Cop in The Guard
29 October 2009 3:45 PM, PDT | firstshowing.net | See recent FirstShowing.net news »
Many times when a film based in the world of a police department, FBI agency or other law enforcement organization comes along, there's the standard confrontation between an unconventional, off-the-leash lawman clashing with a by-the-book, oh so serious counterpart. While this has become a dishearteningly predictable element of crime based films, what really makes or breaks films like this is the casting. In this case, I might be willing to allow cliche characters in favor of great casting as Brendan Gleeson and Don Cheadle have been cast as unlikely partners in director John Michael McDonagh's new film The Guard. Gleeson plays Sergeant Gerry Boyle, a small-town Irish cop with a confrontational personality, a subversive sense of humor, a dying mother, a fondness for prostitutes, and absolutely no interest whatsoever in the international cocaine-smuggling ring that has brought straight-laced FBI agent Wendell Everett (Cheadle) to his door.

Brendan Gleeson (Harry Potter series) stars as an unorthodox Irish policeman who joins forces with a straitlaced FBI agent, played by Don Cheadle (upcoming Iron Man 2), to take on an international drug-smuggling gang in John Michael McDonagh's The Guard, which has just started principal photography in the West of Ireland.
Sergeant Gerry Boyle is a small-town cop with a confrontational personality, a subversive sense of humor, a dying mother, a fondness for prostitutes, and absolutely no interest whatsoever in the international cocaine-smuggling ring that has brought FBI agent Wendell Everett to his door.
However, despite the fact that Boyle seems more interested in mocking and undermining Everett than in actively working to solve the case, he finds that circumstances keep pulling him back into the thick of it. First his tiresomely enthusiastic new partner McBride disappears, then his favourite hooker attempts to blackmail him into turning a blind eye, »
