Gerard likes the build up
19 hours ago | Hindustan Times - Celebrity | See recent Hindustan Times - Celebrity news »
Christmas Day has always been a huge anti-climax for Gerard Butler — he has always preferred the build up. The 300 star admits the holidays are very different now than they were when he was a poor kid growing up in Glasgow. He recalls, “It was almost impossible to contain my excitement. I didn’t come from a particularly wealthy family so anything that we got was so much more appreciated. “My mum was a single mother and, with dad living in Canada, we really didn’t get anything from him, but all the rest of the family was very close.

He made a major breakthrough in Hollywood with his portrayal of King Leonidas in 300, a role actor Gerard Butler feels was destined to be his. The Scottish actor had played a king in an early Christmas pageant in school, which he thinks, prepared him for his role in the epic movie, reported Empire magazine. "I was one of the Three Kings in the Nativity, the one that brought the myrrh. I kept thinking, 'Why am I not bringing a gift that's worth something? What's my motivation?' "Even then, I knew I was destined to play another king. 'He »

Christmas Day has always been a huge anti-climax for Scottish movie hunk Gerard Butler - he has always preferred the build up. The "300" star admits the holidays are very different now than they were when he was a poor kid growing up in Glasgow.
He recalls, "It was almost impossible to contain my excitement. I didn't come from a particularly wealthy family so anything that we got was so much more appreciated. My mum was a single mother and, with dad living in Canada, we really didn't get anything from him, but all the rest of the family was very close. I had a lot of aunts and uncles, great grand uncles and they would always make sure that we were alright."
He also added, "My uncle would build us a sled or we'd get these weird wonderful gifts, and I would always be thinking I would catch Santa coming down the chimney. »

Christmas Day has always been a huge anti-climax for Scottish movie hunk Gerard Butler - he has always preferred the build up.
The 300 star admits the holidays are very different now than they were when he was a poor kid growing up in Glasgow.
He recalls, "It was almost impossible to contain my excitement. I didn't come from a particularly wealthy family so anything that we got was so much more appreciated.
"My mum was a single mother and, with dad living in Canada, we really didn't get anything from him, but all the rest of the family was very close. I had a lot of aunts and uncles, great grand uncles and they would always make sure that we were alright.
"My uncle would build us a sled or we'd get these weird wonderful gifts, and I would always be thinking I would catch Santa coming down the chimney.
"Coming from a country where it gets cold and it snows, there's a real Christmassy feeling in Scotland. Then comes the day where you have to start getting the presents and it loses that magic suddenly and Christmas becomes a huge pain in the a**." »
Bazmann’s Christmas Address

It’s been a great year for the British film industry. It kicked off with the British invasion of the Oscars, with notable wins for Kate Winslet, and Danny Boyle’s Slumdog Millionaire. The huge amount of British Actors plying their trade successfully in Hollywood continued to grow, with Scot Gerard Butler particularly in demand with parts in Gamer, The Ugly Truth and Law Abiding Citizen.
British filmmakers have been responsible for some of the more interesting films this year. Duncan Jone’s Moon was a brilliant yet under appreciated sci-fi drama. Fish Tank and Harry Brown lead the way for low budget drama. Terry Gilliam’s The Imaginarium of Doctor Parnassus finally found a distributor. Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince became the highest grossing British movie of all time.
British film festivals Raindance and the BFI London Film Festival saw record attendances, and showcased some great films from home, »

Butler's Nativity Role Set Up Future Career
24 December 2009 4:06 AM, PST | WENN | See recent WENN news »
Gerard Butler is convinced an early role in a school nativity play set him on course for his breakthrough as King Leonidas in 300.
The Scottish actor shot to international stardom with his portrayal of the legendary Spartan monarch in the 2007 blockbuster.
And Butler admits he was ready for the role, having already played a King in an early Christmas pageant.
He tells Empire magazine, "I was one of the Three Kings in the Nativity, the one that brought the myrrh. I kept thinking, 'Why am I not bringing a gift that's worth something? What's my motivation?' Even then, I knew I was destined to play another king. 'He should be bringing an army of 300 guys and kicking some a**! This is boring!'" »
The Notable Films of 2010: Part Five
23 December 2009 10:10 AM, PST | Dark Horizons | See recent Dark Horizons news »
Opens: 2010
Cast: Cillian Murphy, Sienna Miller, Max Minghella, Emma Booth, Lee Ingleby
Director: Beeban Kidron
Summary: Follows the love story of Oz editor Richard Neville and Louise Ferrier. Neville and his cohorts launch the London edition of Oz amidst the 1960s counterculture and are subsequently put on trial for distributing a sexually explicit issue.
Analysis: One of the most troubled productions in Working Title's history, 'Hippie' began development back in 1998 but failed to get beyond script stage both in 1999 and in 2002 when "Elizabeth" helmer Shekhar Kapur was attached to direct. Filming finally got underway late 2007 with director Beeban Kidron in charge and shooting seemed to proceed without issue aside from feminist author Germaine Greer being vehemently unhappy about being depicted on film.
Actually the film scored quite a bit of free press for a skinny dipping scene where full-frontal shots of actress Sienna Miller shooting the sequence »

The End of 2009? Whoop-doo! This year has been one hellatious shit storm from the get-go. Pregnant ladies and babies, The Great Depression Part II, pig flu, more than a handful of horrible shootings, a balloon boy, Tiger's indiscretions, and our first black president. Not to mention more dead celebrities than I can shake a stick at. Every time I turned around, some other atrocious calamity was happening right before my eyes. Making 2009 one of the most interesting years of this entire decade. According to Michael Ruppert in his film Collapse its only going to get worse before it gets better. Yes, the Teens are going to see more than half of your friends and family dead. Take account of the folks around you. By the time 2020 rears its ugly head, most of these people will be gone. Turned to dust and painful memories. My advice to you this coming New Year? »
Can Dubai become the City of Life of Emirati film?
23 December 2009 2:51 AM, PST | The Guardian - Film News | See recent The Guardian - Film News news »
The economic ructions and unseasonal weather in the emirate did not dampen the mood at the sixth Dubai film festival, but the future for its embryonic movie industry remains to be divined
Dubai in December would probably seem a peculiar place to European eyes under ordinary circumstances, what with the tinsel on the palm trees and the fibreglass snowmen next to the waterslides. This year, of course, circumstances were extraordinary. Days before I headed off to work for the daily newspaper of the Dubai international film festival's sixth edition, which ran from 9-16 December, the emirate's risk of defaulting on its multibillion-dollar loans had exploded across the world's front pages. Would the festival still go ahead, friends wondered, and if so, how would it be affected?
Well, yes, rumours of festival meltdown were greatly exaggerated. It still went ahead, largely unruffled by the macro-level ructions buffeting the economy, and to »

Info Meme
Leading the news in decisions made in Hollywood that should never have been considered, much less funded, we find out that Columbia Pictures is going to let Phil Lord and Chris Miller direct the big screen adaptaion of the 1980s hit 21 Jump Street that launched Johnny Depp's career and causes Richard Greico to throw a bottle at the television whenever it's mentioned. Don't get me wrong, I watched 21 Jump Street. I also liked Lord and Miller's last project, Cloudy with a Chance of Meatballs. I just don't think any of those things go together in 2012, which is when they're releasing it. Fantasy casting - go!
I live in a moderately small town in West Virginia, so whenever I get to mock another place, it's like Christmas and my birthday rolled into one. Today, we have Laredo, Texas, which has achieved the dubious distinction of being the largest »

Bounty Hunter Trailer Arrives
21 December 2009 11:22 PM, PST | EmpireOnline | See recent EmpireOnline news »
Ah, the high concept rom com: throwing attractive people together in wacky situations since the dawn of cinema itself (well, since the 30s at least).And now we have a trailer for the latest incarnation - The Bounty Hunter, starring Gerard Butler and Jennifer Aniston.How does it look? Much like Fool's Gold, or Hitch, two of director Andy Tenant's previous movies, and again finds two sexy actors bickering, scrapping and generally trying to prove they have chemistry together.On their own, Butler and Aniston have done some good work, but on the evidence of this trailer, we're not yet sure they work as a pair. Butler's contending with a slightly awkward American accent and Aniston appears to be falling back on her usual blend of nervy/cute tics.The basic premise of the promo - which snuck out over the weekend - finds Butler's dogged bounty hunter assigned »

'21 Jump Street' Movie to Get 'Cloudy' Directors
21 December 2009 6:48 AM, PST | Cinematical | See recent Cinematical news »
Whether you like it or not, a big-screen version of the TV show 21 Jump Street, which starred Johnny Depp's cheekbones, is inexorably making its way through the highways and byways of the studio system. First came the news that Jonah Hill was developing a treatment of it, then the word was out that Hill planned to make it rather R-rated. As he told Complex magazine, "[Sony execs said] they were gonna let me make my kind of movie - an R-rated, insane, Bad-Boys-meets-John Hughes-type movie - and I told them the second they don't, I'm not gonna be involved anymore."
Now Variety is reporting that the guys behind of this summer's tasty animated movie Cloudy with a Chance of Meatballs are talking to Columbia Pictures about directing 21 Jump Street. Phil Lord and Chris Miller, who also wrote the screenplay for Meatballs, have worked together since the short-lived TV series Clone High from 2002 to 2003. Mike Bacall, »
