Gemma Arterton Says Working on Prince of Persia Has Been "Brilliant"
8 hours ago | Reelzchannel.com | See recent ReelzChannel news »
British actress Gemma Arterton has become the "it" girl of action movies recently. First, she starred alongside Daniel Craig as Strawberry Fields in Quantum of Solace, then she landed the role of Sam Worthington's love interest in Clash of the Titans, and soon she will be appearing as Princess Tamina opposite Jake Gyllenhaal's Prince Dastan in Prince of Persia: The Sands of Time.
In a recent interview with Coming Soon, Arterton discussed how working on such high-profile projects is changing her life.
I'm really starting to feel it. Things have changed very quickly. Usually, I can kind of get on with my work and not think about it but it's actually having an effect on my life now and that's fine. I just have to kind of get used to it I suppose but it has been really, really quick and hey, why not, you know? If it's gonna happen, »

The Play’s the Thing for Aniston, Ashton, Demi, Brooke, and More
10 November 2009 2:00 PM, PST | Vanity Fair | See recent Vanity Fair news »
Too many stars to fit in one frame: Anthony Mackie, Brooke Shields, Jennifer Aniston, David Cross, Liev Schrieber, Naomi Watts, Jeremy Sisto, Emmy Rossum, Julia Stiles, and Gaby Hoffmann are among the cast members taking a curtain call after performing in the 24 Hour Plays. Kevin Mazur/Getty Images. It has been an unusually starry fall on Broadway—Hugh Jackman and Daniel Craig in A Steady Rain, Jude Law in Hamlet, and, later this month, Catherine Zeta-Jones and Angela Lansbury in A Little Night Music, just to name a few. But rarely has there been such assemblage of big names on one Broadway stage as there was last night at the American Airlines Theater. Among the performers were Jennifer Aniston, David Cross, Billy Crudup, Rosario Dawson, John Krasinski, Ashton Kutcher, Eva Mendes, Demi Moore, Rosie Perez, Sam Rockwell, Liev Schrieber, Brooke Shields, Julia Stiles, Amber Tamblyn, and Naomi Watts.

10 November 2009 5:52 AM, PST | IrishCentral | See recent IrishCentral news »
Mel Gibson was too short to play James Bond! That's the astonishing news coming out from Hollywood this week. Gibson, who recently celebrated the arrival of his eighth child Lucia with Russian girlfriend Lyudmilla Chernukha, was deemed too tiny for Bond by producer Albert R ‘Cubby’ Broccoli. Gibson, who clocks in at 5ft 9in frame is just over four inches shorter than Irish star Pierce Brosnan who is 6ft 1.25 in. In addition, Broccoli felt Gibson was too famous for the role. Scriptwriter Tom Mankiewicz - who wrote James Bond favourites "The Man With The Golden Gun" and "Live And Let Die" - said: “At one point Mel Gibson wanted to play Bond. And Cubby was against it. Cubby first of all had a thing about tall people. “Bond had to be tall. And so Mel Gibson was too short. But he was a big star. "Somebody at United Artists said to me, »
Mel Gibson was too short to play James Bond

The 'Braveheart' star's 5ft 9in frame was deemed unsuitable to make a convincing portrayal of the iconic British spy - who is currently played by Daniel Craig - while producer Albert R 'Cubby' Broccoli was also concerned that he was too famous for the role.
Scriptwriter Tom Mankiewicz - who wrote James Bond favourites 'The Man With The Golden Gun' and 'Live And Let Die' - said: "At one point Mel Gibson wanted to play Bond. And Cubby was against it. Cubby first of all had a thing about tall people.

The defeated champion Nikolai Valuev needs a new career. Surely he was born to be a Bond villain
Forget David and Goliath. For most movie fans watching the heavyweight title fight between David Haye and Nikolai Valuev on Saturday night, the first mythical conflict to spring to mind was Rocky and Drago. Not since the 1985 showdown between Sylvester "Adrieeennnne!" Stallone and Dolph "pretty boy" Lundgren, have we seen such a mismatch of plucky western underdog and eastern bloc fighting machine. Admittedly, you have to make some allowances. Like the fact that Haye is British, not American. And Valuev's training routine probably didn't involve working out in a top secret muscle lab while Soviet technicians monitored his readouts, but he was praised by Vladimir Putin as a "national hero", so there's at least a frisson of cold war tension. Nor could you mistake him for a male model like Lundgren. But with his hulking 7ft 2in, »

Winona Ryder joins cast of sexy thriller ‘Black Swan’
9 November 2009 4:53 AM, PST | ReelLoop.com | See recent Reel Loop news »
Weird. I was just thinking, “You know what Black Swan needs? Some Winona Ryder.”
Poof! Wish granted. The Girl, Interrupted star will join the cast of Darren Aronofsky’s (The Wrestler, Pi) Black Swan. The 38-year-old will play Beth, a dancer who is entering the twilight of her professional dance career.
Joining Ryder will be Vicent Cassel and Barbara Hershey.
Black Swan focuses on a veteran New York City ballet dancer (Portman) who finds herself in an intensely competitive situation with a rival (Kunis), who might be a ghost or figment of Portman’s character’s imagination.
The film has made some earlier buzz due to an “extreme” sex scene between Portman and Kunis.
Production on Black Swan will begin this month and will hit theaters sometime in 2010.

Kate Winslet Worth 0 Million To Britain
8 November 2009 10:53 PM, PST | icelebz.com | See recent iCelebz news »
Kate Winslet is worth £60 million [0 million] to Britain. The "Reader" actress was the first celebrity to be "audited" by the U.K. Film Council, which looked to put a specific value on the country's creative industries and chose the English star as the first example for her success abroad and public profile.
David Steele, the head of research and statistics at the U.K. Film Council, explained: "When an actor achieves international prominence, they have a general effect of boosting their country of origin that works its way through television appearances, advertising and celebrity news."
A friend said Kate - who won the Best Actress Oscar for "The Reader" this year - found it "both flattering and very funny."
The audit assessed salaries, profile and "box-office effect" on tourism and entertainment sales to find the figure, which has been nicknamed "the Winslet algorithm" and may now be used to work out »

8 November 2009 1:43 PM, PST | ReelLoop.com | See recent Reel Loop news »
Daniel Craig, best known as the reigning James Bond, will join the cast of the upcoming psychological thriller Dream House.
The 41-year-old Craig will play a father who moves his family into a quaint new house in a small town, only to find out that the place is haunted by the former inhabitants that were murdered there.
Producers will have their work cut out for them since this seems to be the plot of every haunted house thriller.
Dream House will be directed by Jim Sheridan (In the Name of the Father) with a script from Daniel Bobker (The Brothers Grimm).
Filming will begin in January and will run through April in Toronto.
Craig’s next project is The Adventures of Tintin set for a release in 2011.

This Week on Stage: 'The Understudy,' 'Idiot Savant,' and 'Nightingale'
7 November 2009 5:00 AM, PST | EW.com - PopWatch | See recent EW.com - PopWatch news »
This week saw the too-rapid close of the Neil Simon revival Brighton Beach Memoirs on Broadway, as well as the opening of three Off Broadway productions: The Understudy, starring Justin Kirk, Julie White, and Mark-Paul Gosselaar (above); Idiot Savant with Willem Dafoe; and Nightingale with Lynn Redgrave. Melissa Bernardo gave a B+ to The Understudy but dinged it for the cast's somewhat mixed on-stage chemistry. Thom Geier calls Idiot Savant "one strange, head-scratching evening" and gives it a C+. As for Lynn Redgrave's one-woman show, Nightingale, I gave it a C and took issue with the production because "the »

Last week, at the stage door of his Broadway plan, "A Steady Rain", Daniel Craig first revealed to fans that shooting on the 23rd James Bond film would kick off in late 2010.
Now, speaking recently on Regis & Kelly, Craig confirmed that filming will start at the end of 2010, with a 2011 release date being scheduled.
"The plan is to start shooting the next one at the end of next year," Craig said on Regis & Kelly, "so it'll be ready for 2011. We've got a lot of work to do."
Bond 23 is being written by returning Bond scribes Neal Purvis and Robert Wade, and The Queen and Frost/Nixon writer Peter Morgan. David Arnold will compose the score for this, his sixth 007 movie.
Producers Barbara Broccoli and Michael G. Wilson will, of course, return as producers, but have yet to determine a director.

Daniel Craig Moving into ‘Dream House’
6 November 2009 8:18 PM, PST | Atomic Popcorn | See recent Atomic Popcorn news »
Daniel Craig is stepping off of the Broadway stage and heading back to the big screen–but not just in the role of James Bond.
Craig is moving from Pinewood Shepperton’s studio in Britain, where the James Bond films are shot, to the company’s Toronto location to star in Jim Sheridan’s psychological thriller Dream House.
In the film, Craig will be playing the role of a man whose family moves to a small town, only to find out they’ve moved into a house that’s being haunted by its previous inhabitants.
Although the Morgan Creek production is being shot at Pinewood Shepperton’s Toronto studio, the parent company in Britain will earn fees based on the revenue performance of the Toronto studios.
Dream House is scheduled to be shot from January 25th to April 9th, 2010.

Storms The Walls Of Castle
By
Actress Stana Katic is on a roll. After scoring supporting roles in two of last year’s highest-profile films, Quantum of Solace and The Spirit, the statuesque Canadian stunner landed the female lead in ABC’s new police drama/romantic comedy Castle, playing Detective Kate Beckett, a tough-as-nails NYPD officer who finds herself with the regrettable assignment of allowing cocky, best-selling crime novelist Richard Castle (Nathan Fillion) to shadow her for research on his next book. Not only does she find that Castle’s creative instincts for the criminal mind help her solve some of the city’s most challenging murders, she finds her tough exterior melting under Castle’s considerable charms. The show airs Monday nights on ABC.

"My guess is either eliminated or dancing the knockout dance," Mark told "Extra" after his performance, which Carrie Ann called "a mess." Dacascos and Trebunskaya found themselves at the bottom after the group and individual dances last night.

The Hangover's Human Tree T-Shirt is the top-selling Halloween tee
2 November 2009 7:02 AM, PST | Boxwish.com | See recent BoxWish news »
With the likes of Bruce Wayne (Christian Bale), James Bond (Daniel Craig) and Tony Stark (Robert Downey Jr.) celebrated for their sophisticated style; Edward Cullen (Robert Pattinson), Harry Potter (Daniel Radcliffe) and Troy Bolton (Zac Efron) setting young hearts a-flutter with their teen wear and rugged he-men like Wolverine (Hugh Jackman) flashing their muscles, it’s easy to pick a movie mentor to copy the fashions of. But a bearded goofball carrying around a strange baby? Yes, we’re talking about Alan, Zach Galifianakis’s character from this year’s break-out hit, The Hangover, who has become one of the pin-ups of 2009. Not content with coming in seventh on Fandango.com’s poll into this year’s Halloween movie costumes (see Related Content, right), his much-loved Human Tree T-Shirt has become an official style sensation. »
Hugh Jackman Wants to Reclaim Sexiest Man Alive Title

Chosen as the Sexiest Man Alive of 2008 by People magazine, Hugh Jackman has no hesitation to tell the publication that he wants to reclaim the title for this year. When asked by People on who he thinks deserves to be named the next Sexiest Man Alive, he said "Me! I want to be the first to have it back to back, buddy", while attending the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame Concert on Friday, October 30 in New York.
"That would be fantastic!" he gushed. The 41-year-old movie hunk, however, didn't mention the reason why he deserves the predicate one more time. He instead shared with the weekly magazine about the pressure the title has caused him, saying "I thought there were thousands of other guys that deserved it, but it's been a great year. But now the pressures off. I can be a slob again."
