Catherine Hardwicke responds to reports regarding her next directing gig
17 December 2009 7:55 PM, PST | EW - Hollywood Insider.com | See recent EW.com - Hollywood Insider news »
Earlier this week, The LA Times reported that Twilight director Catherine Hardwicke may not direct the adaptation of the best-selling novel If I Stay for Summit Entertainment, opting rather to spearhead Leonardo DiCaprio's adaptation of Red Riding Hood for Warner Bros. (DiCaprio is producing through his Appian Way label.) However, it seems that Hardwicke is juggling these two projects in addition to Overture's Hamlet starring Emile Hirsch, and none of them are that close to receiving the "Go" order. Hardwicke tells EW.com, "I love all three of these projects. I've done drawings, location scouts, trailers, budgets, etc. for each of them. »

Stocking Stuffers! Celebrating The Best Beefcake of 2009!

It was a dirty job, but someone had to do it.
We couldn't wrap-up this year without paying special tribute to those unsung heroes, namely actors who get naked! Whether it's on the big or small screen, it takes a special kind of courage to strip to your birthday suit in front of cameras and key grips knowing that someone online is going to scrutinize you down to the dimple on your derriere! To acknowledge their willingness, we offer this salute to some of the men who dared this year.
If you're worried about the Nsfw possibilities, we've obscured the naughty parts, but you can still ... get the idea.
Enjoy the most blatantly prurient post you'll ever see on this site!
Being Human technically isn't from this year, but it did debut on BBC America in 2009, so that gives us a legitimate reason to show the adorkably hot (and out »

Blu-Ray Review: ‘Taking Woodstock’ Has Plentiful Atmosphere, Little Depth
16 December 2009 9:05 AM, PST | HollywoodChicago.com | See recent HollywoodChicago.com news »
Chicago – Ang Lee’s take on the landmark music festival isn’t a film so much as a filmed idea. It aims to capture the atmosphere of the concert without ever showing the actual music. Of course, the real show was the crowd itself.
There’s one lovely shot in “Taking Woodstock” where its protagonist, high on acid, gazes at the countless hordes gathered around the distant main stage. Suddenly, the crowd starts to move like ripples in the water, as they become united by their shared vibes. The image may sound pretentious on paper, but it has a poetry and wonderment that’s largely missing from the rest of the picture.
Blu-Ray Rating: 2.5/5.0
There are few writer-director teams in film history that have tackled as many diverse genres as James Schamus and Ang Lee. Their collaborations include “The Ice Storm,” “Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon,” and “Lust, Caution,” though “Taking Woodstock »

Taking Woodstock Blu-ray Review
16 December 2009 5:59 AM, PST | Collider.com | See recent Collider.com news »
Ang Lee is an interesting filmmaker. He’s just one of those guys who tend to get fascinated by the right things, and even when he misses, there’s usually something there. And he’s definitely one of the most interesting voices of the 21st century. Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon, Hulk, Brokeback Mountain, Lust, Caution are easily some of the better films to emerge over the last ten years. He can be seen as mercenary (his choice of material is often as commercial as art cinema can get, though sometimes that’s by smart marketing and catching a zeitgeist at the right moment), but he still has a way behind the camera. Taking Woodstock is one of his least, and my review of it comes after the jump.
The film follows Elliot Tiber (Demetri Martin) as he and his family tries and survives in upstate New York. Their hotel isn’t doing excellent business, »

Is 'Twilight' Director Catherine Hardwicke Leaving Summit Film?
16 December 2009 3:46 AM, PST | MTV Movie News | See recent MTV Movie News news »
Filmmaker is signed to teen drama 'If I Stay,' but Leonardo DiCaprio-produced 'Girl With the Red Riding Hood' could tie her up.

Catherine Hardwicke and Summit Entertainment parted ways after the director steered "Twilight" to $385 million in worldwide box-office receipts, but any hard feelings seemed to be washed away in March when Hardwicke signed on to direct the studio's teen drama "If I Stay."
Now it seems like she might not stick around for that picture either. According to a report in the Los Angeles Times, Hardwicke might skip out on "Stay" to commit to the Leonardo DiCaprio-produced "The Girl With the Red Riding Hood."
Citing sources close to the director, the Times indicated that the likely move has nothing to do with any soured relationship between Hardwicke and Summit. Rather, it's a matter of a scheduling conflict, »
Dakota Fanning May Star in Hardwicke’s If I Stay
15 December 2009 9:44 PM, PST | newsinfilm.com | See recent newsinfilm news »
Dakota Fanning may be taking the lead role in Summit Entertainment’s If I Stay for Catherine Hardwicke, the director who started the Twilight saga that now generates paychecks for Fanning.
Pajiba’s source says the 15-year-old actress is in negotiations to star as Mia Hill, a young woman who gets into a car accident and goes through an out of body experience while in a coma.
I think if I was flying around outside my chiseled exterior, I’d go get into trouble, because who’s going to know and, if they somehow could, I have the perfect alibi. “What do you mean I learned something I shouldn’t? I was in a coma!”
While the studio replaced Hardwicke for the supposedly larger scale Twilight Saga: New Moon, they’re still in business with her for this film… for now. Hardwicke is attached to a multitude of movies, including this, »

Sturgess and Dunst Turn 'Upside Down' for Juan Solanas
12 December 2009 6:25 PM, PST | ioncinema | See recent ioncinema news »
The Argentinean/French filmmaker will start lensing his sci-fi romance with the pairing of Jim Sturgess (Across the Universe) and Kristen Dunst. - I jumped the gun earlier this year, thinking that Juan Solanas (Nordeste) was well on his way with his sophomore project, when in fact, no actors had signed on the dotted line. Today comes word (via Production Weekly) that the Argentinean/French filmmaker will start lensing his sci-fi romance with the pairing of Jim Sturgess (Across the Universe) and Kristen Dunst. Sturgess takes over for the role that Emile Hirsch was in negotiations for. I can't think of many examples where the blend of sci-fi and romance actually work - the last sample I saw was the overly-ambitious and tedious Mr.Nobody. Upside Down tells the story Adam is a seemingly ordinary guy in a very extraordinary universe. He lives humbly trying to make ends meet, »

One tMF viewer, who is apparently a Megan Fox fan, once said 'Megan Fox is overrated as a celebrity but not as an actress.' That comment made me think: Is there really such a difference? Can't we judge someone who is a celebrity and an actress, and treat her as one and the same? She's just one person right?

Megan Fox may be overrated as a "celebrity," but she is actually underrated, As An Actress.

'Back To The Future Part III' Hits 88Mph In Today's Sick Day Stash
21 October 2009 2:00 PM, PDT | MTV Movies Blog | See recent MTV Movies Blog news »
Call them "cult classics." "Guilty pleasures." "Comfort movies." We all have a mental rolodex of flicks that may not be terribly popular but, for one reason or another, they resonate in a very special way. Maybe you saw it at the right moment. Maybe you just see gold where everyone else sees feces. Whatever the case, these are the special favorites that you keep stashed away for sick days. Here are some of ours.
The time circuits are on, the flux capacitor is fluxing and I'm gonna take today's Sick Day Stash on a journey through time with the help of "Back to the Future Part III." The movie may be the weakest entry in this venerable trilogy but it's by no means a weak movie. Dare I say it's 1.21 gigawatts of marvelous?
There's none of the holographic flash of "Back to the Future II," with its sleek vision of the future (Hoverboards! »

According to Production Weekly, director Juan Diego Solanas is pairing the two actors up for his new alternate reality sci-fi indie pic.Dunst had apparently been in talks for a while, but Sturgess is a new twist, given that Emile Hirsch was being considered. So what's the pitch? Slash Film dug this synopsis out of the European Film Market listing for the movie: "Adam is a seemingly ordinary guy in a very extraordinary...

Jim Sturgess and Kirsten Dunst to Star In Sci-Fi Movie Upside Down
16 October 2009 3:05 PM, PDT | Slash Film | See recent Slash Film news »
I've been keeping an eye on Juan Diego Solanas' surreal-sounding sci-fi story Upside Down for a while now. The picture has been in development with Onyx films and Studio 37 for a good while, and has never quite got off of the starting blocks - perhaps due to its mind boggling central concept. Kirsten Dunst has been in talks to star for some months, I believe, but the news that Jim Sturgess will be taking on the male lead comes after earlier reports that Emile Hirsch was negotiating for the role. Sturgess is a real trade up from Hirsch, I think. Here's an official synopsis for the film from the 2009 European Film Market Brochure: Look up towards the sky and rub your eyes because you won’t believe what you see: cities, forests, and oceans with their own inverted gravity, only an arm’s length away, yet completely unreachable.
