Hollywood — "New Moon" mania took over the Hollywood & Highland Center on Friday night, as one of the first stops on the movie's nationwide Hot Topic promotional tour kicked off with an event featuring concerts by bands from the film's soundtrack, laughs with the cast, and a special appearance by the film's three biggest stars.

"Thank you to you guys," gushed Robert Pattinson, taking the stage alongside Kristen Stewart and Taylor Lautner in front of hundreds of shrieking, black-t-shirt-clad fans. "Without you, 'Twilight' wouldn't be anywhere."

Well, on Friday night, it was everywhere. In two different storefronts, autographs were being signed by the likes of Kellan Lutz, Ashley Greene and members of the Wolf pack and the Volturi. »

Forgotten Performances: Tom Hanks As Brainwashed D&D Nerd

6 November 2009 5:30 PM, PST | Movieline | See recent Movieline news »

· Topless Robot reminds us that before Angels & Demons, Saving Private Ryan, and Philadelphia, there was Mazes and Monsters -- a made-for-tv movie starring Tom Hanks as an RPG enthusiast who lurks in alleyways, stabbing stuntmen in really shoddy-looking lizard suits. The climax takes place on the roof of the Wtc, further underscoring the movie's underlying message that virgins cause terrorism. »

Interview: Adam Goldberg on the Art of Performance in ‘(Untitled)’

4 November 2009 3:30 PM, PST | HollywoodChicago.com | See recent HollywoodChicago.com news »

Chicago – The Adam Goldberg character is well known to fans of TV’s “Friends” and the movie’s “Saving Private Ryan.” With his heart-on-his-sleeve persona, he takes that character to rarified heights in the new film “(Untitled).”

Set in the galleries and small symphony halls of New York City, (Untitled) is a deeply philosophical look at the nature of art, through three characters who each believe they understand the essence of what art is within themselves.

Adam Goldberg plays Adrian, a composer of atonal symphonies, whose work continues to go unrecognized. His brother Josh (Eion Bailey), is a successful painter of hotel decor-style art, who longs to be recognized for more. Rounding out the triad is Madelaine (Marley Shelton), the arty and pretentious gallery owner who strives for the next atmospheric happening.

Adam Goldberg: Shooting To The Music

By

Alex Simon

Adam Goldberg first brought his unique brand of manic intensity to Richard Linklater’s ensemble classic Dazed and Confused in 1993 and has since been featured in such varied films as 2 Days in Paris, A Beautiful Mind, Saving Private Ryan, How to Lose a Guy in 10 Days, The Hebrew Hammer and I Love Your Work, which he also directed. An actor with a talent for mining the neuroses of his character for both comedic and dramatic effect, Goldberg also played recurring roles in “Friends” and “Entourage.” Goldberg's music CD, "LANDy, Eros And Omissions," hit shelves June 23 of this year from Nine Yards Records.

Goldberg’s latest film, (Untitled), is a satirical comedy that has him playing Adrian Jacobs, a brooding avant-garde composer who falls for the gorgeous owner (Marley Shelton) of a trendy New York art gallery. The quirky worlds »

Martin Scorsese's List of the Scariest Movies Ever

31 October 2009 5:23 PM, PDT | GetTheBigPicture.net | See recent Get The Big Picture news »

Even though movie lists are opinions (and we know what opinions are like), there's usually a kernel of universality to them. For example, any knowledgeable list about the greatest movies ever made would almost certainly include The Godfather, and if you're counting war movies, it's hard to see Saving Private Ryan being omitted. We just covered a list about animated films, and not surprisingly, about half the titles would be on any respected collection. But what's interesting about most lists is in the exceptions.

So while Martin Scorsese's well-informed list of the scariest movies ever may not be exactly the way you'd draw it up, there are a few here that are surefire locks: Exorcist, Psycho, and The Shining. Now, Marty is in his 60s and he grew up in a generation that didn't have a lot of horror films. There was the early crop of Universal monster movies »

'Let the Right One In': Yes, I saw it again

31 October 2009 12:05 PM, PDT | EW.com - The Movie Critics | See recent EW.com - The Movie Critics news »

In honor of Halloween, a day of vampires and naughty misdeeds, I sat down to watch Let the Right One In again -- a movie tied to a naughty misdeed of my own. My offending act of immoral behavior? Back when it was released, one year ago, on Oct. 24, 2008, I wrote a review that trashed this pensive and brooding Swedish vampire movie. I called it "arty," I said that it wasn't "coherent," and I accused the hero -- a 12-year-old blond boy in a wintry Stockholm suburb who befriends the vampire child next door -- of "skulk through the movie in a blank-faced torpor. »

Sizemore Hit With Demand For Child Support

25 October 2009 7:16 AM, PDT | WENN | See recent WENN news »

Troubled actor Tom Sizemore is facing legal action after allegedly failing to pay child support.

Jinele McIntire has accused the Saving Private Ryan star of leaving her to single-handedly raise their twins boys, born in 2005, and is now demanding $58,000 (£392,000) from the actor, according to legal documents filed in Los Angeles Superior Court earlier this month.

McIntire insists Sizemore has "made no attempt to see" or provide for his children, while continuing to make up to $200,000 (£133,000) for his appearances in reality TV shows Sober House and Celebrity Rehab.

She is also seeking health insurance for the children, as well as $50,000 (£33,000) for attorney's fees.

The new lawsuit adds to a growing list of Sizemore's legal woes - he was charged with spousal battery following his arrest for an alleged attack on a woman in August and was found guilty of assaulting then-girlfriend Heidi Fleiss in 2003.

He was also arrested in May on an outstanding warrant for drug charges. »

Exclusive Interview: Adam Goldberg is Candid About '(Untitled)' Movie

21 October 2009 9:15 PM, PDT | CinemaSpy | See recent CinemaSpy news »

Fans of HBO’s Entourage know Adam Goldberg as Nick Rubenstein, the spoiled coke-addicted son of a famous movie producer who agrees to fund Medellin, Vince's ill-fated dream project. To others, he is Julie Delpy’s lover in the romantic drama 2 Days in Paris, or the "stereotypically Jewish" guy in films like Dazed and Confused and The Hebrew Hammer.  Over the last decade or so, Goldberg has worked with a slew of top-drawer directors including Steven Spielberg (Saving Private Ryan) Tony Scott (Déjà vu), David Fincher (Zodiac), Richard Linklater (Waking Life) and Ron Howard (A Beautiful Mind), predominantly in supporting roles. He is also an accomplished musician and filmmaker.  

Now, in the satirical spoof on New York’s Chelsea art scene (Untitled), Goldberg steps into the lead role as Adrian Jacobs, a brooding and sullen composer of esoteric discordant musical works that feature — among other sounds produced by ready-made everyday »

Damon Boycotts Violent Roles

20 October 2009 3:01 PM, PDT | WENN | See recent WENN news »

Matt Damon has turned down a string of movie roles because he refuses to act in films with excessive violence.

The Hollywood actor has starred in a number of high action movies including Saving Private Ryan and the Bourne trilogy.

But Damon has rejected a number of scripts which include gratuitous fighting - because he's worried it may affect people's real-life actions.

He says, "I always look at the violence (in a script). I don't want it to be gratuitous because I do believe that has an effect on people's behaviour. I really do believe that and I have turned down movies because of that." »

Adam Goldberg Tackles the Art World in (Untitled)

20 October 2009 3:00 AM, PDT | TribecaFilm.com | See recent Tribeca Film news »

'I had some Excedrin, which has got a lot of caffeine in it, so I was jumpstarted prior to the interview,' Adam Goldberg tells me well into our interview. His credits are impressive and far-reaching; he's as well known for roles in Saving Private Ryan and A Beautiful Mind as he is for Dazed and Confused, The Salton Sea, The Hebrew Hammer, and Tribeca screener 2 Days in Paris. He's also done a fair share of TV, from his short stint on Friends as Chandler's creepy roommate to the all-too-brief 2009 season of The Unusuals on ABC. In his latest movie, (Untitled), fraternal jealousy, pretentious art, and love collide in a comedy that takes place in New York's art scene. Goldberg's Adrian, a scowling, self-absorbed composer whose chain-rattling music plays to near-empty rooms, catches gallery owner Madeleine Gray's (Marley Shelton) icy blonde attention both artistically and romantically as she leads »

Adam Goldberg Explains Why He's So Damn Tortured

16 October 2009 7:40 AM, PDT | Vanity Fair | See recent Vanity Fair news »

There are few things quite as excruciating as watching a perfectly talented actor decide that what he really wants to be is a rock star. Even if they actually know how to play an instrument or can sing on key, the end result is almost always embarrassing. Every once in a while somebody like Zooey Deschanel defies our expectations, but they tend to be anomalies. As for the rest, well… anybody remember when Billy Bob Thornton and Joaquin Phoenix were making great movies instead of making public asses of themselves? Yeah, those were good times. And they have only their musical ambitions to blame. So I was understandably distraught to hear that Adam Goldberg, one of my favorite indie actors, was releasing an album this summer. My first reaction was somewhere in the ballpark of "No, no, no, no, please, please, please, Adam, don't do this! Oh god, oh god, »

Nathan Fillion Talks Trucker, Castle, Joss Whedon & Superheroes

15 October 2009 8:09 PM, PDT | ScreenRant.com | See recent Screen Rant news »

Quick, think of the most underrated, under-appreciated Canadian in Hollywood! If you said Céline Dion then I will hunt you down and flog you with a mackerel. The correct answer is Nathan Fillion. This 37 year old, chiseled jaw specimen of a man (my wife made me say that) has an acting career going back to 1993 with several small roles in films and shows you probably never heard of until 1998 in Saving Private Ryan. From there, his career started building, mostly in TV, and he started gaining fanboy support that almost rivals Bruce “The Chin” Campbell.

And just like Campbell, all of his TV shows were canceled. Two Guys a Girl and a Pizza Place went down after 4 seasons, Firefly (which to this day remains one of the best shows on TV never to finish), the very short lived Drive, and now Castle which almost didn’t have a second season »

‘Saving Private Ryan’ Writer gets Tapped for Raimi’s ‘Warcraft’

14 October 2009 3:00 PM, PDT | The Flickcast | See recent The Flickcast news »

Since its announcement, there has been tons of buzz surrounding the Warcraft film. Warcraft: Rise of the Lich King has already been put under the reigns of Sam Raimi (Spider-Man franchise, Drag Me to Hell) as it tells the story of Arthas, the young paladin prince who would be corrupted by an evil sword and ultimately become the ruler of the undead legions of Azaroth.

Speaking with MTV News, Raimi said “We want to be really faithful to the game…to the Horde and the Alliance and the mythology that takes place in the game, and the archetypes that the game presents… I think we would try and find touchstones within the game to make it accurate and true and choose one or some of the lands that are portrayed in the game with as much accuracy and authenticity as possible.”

Robert Rodat To Write Sam Raimi's 'Warcraft'

14 October 2009 11:15 AM, PDT | Cinematical | See recent Cinematical news »

The news that Sam Raimi would be helming the game movie of all game movies, Warcraft was met with both squeals of joy, and stunned silence by the movie blogosphere. But now that it's had a little time to sink in, people seem to be really looking forward to it. Some might even wish he'd do a last minute duck out of Spider-Man 4. But at least the wait is broken up by a bit of news, and that's Raimi announcing his screenwriter. MTV and Variety both report that Robert Rodat is set to pen Warcraft for Raimi and Warner Bros.

"We want to be really faithful to the game," Raimi told MTV. "We would have our writer, Robert Rodat, really craft an original story within that world that feels like a World of WarCraft adventure. Only obviously it's very different 'cause it's expanded and translated into the world of a motion picture. »

Sam Raimi Says World of Warcraft Movie Will Be Original

14 October 2009 8:24 AM, PDT | Reelzchannel.com | See recent ReelzChannel news »

If you've never heard of World of Warcraft, then you're probably living in a deserted cave, underneath a rock, and without an internet connection (in fact, how are you reading this?). WoW holds the Guinness World Record as the most popular Mmorpg (massively multiplayer online role-playing game), with approximately 11.5 million monthly subscribers. Because of its popularity, it's no wonder that WoW is soon headed to the big screen.

Director Sam Raimi, famous for his Evil Dead and Spider-Man films, is currently in pre-production on the WoW movie. He told MTV that rumors about the film being based on the Arthas: Rise of the Lich King novel are false.

We would choose ... something that encompasses lands and characters and storylines, and we would be true to it. But our story may or may not be about one of those central characters.

Raimi said that an original script is being written by Robert Rodat, »

Scott Stewart Blows Your Mind

14 October 2009 6:22 AM, PDT | cinemablend.com | See recent Cinema Blend news »

Looks like Scott Stewart is doing more badass movies besides Legion. THR reports that he and Gus Krieger have developed a film for Bond Films called Psi-Ops, about a secret U.S. military unit of psychological operatives who specialize in exploiting their target's deepest fears... like Ghost Rider I guess. On a routine mission to the Amazon, they discover something that makes even them soil themselves. It may bring up memories of that god-awful Playstation 2 game of the same name, Psi Ops: The Mindgate Conspiracy. They're hoping to combine the elements of 1980s action movies like Predators and Aliens with the psychological tone and visual realism of movies like Black Hawk Down.  Kinda sounds like Independence Day  and Saving Private Ryan mixed with a little Matilda to me. Given Stewart's track record as a special effects artist and how good Legion is looking right now, I wouldn't worry too much »

Rodat Hired To Pen World Of Warcraft Film

14 October 2009 4:01 AM, PDT | Screenrush | See recent Screenrush news »

MTV reports that Saving Private Ryan screenwriter Robert Rodat has been hired to pen the script for Sam Raimi's World Of Warcraft film.

Raimi said in an interview with MTV, "We want to be really faithful to the game. We would have our writer, Robert Rodat, really craft an original story within that world that feels like a 'World of Warcraft' adventure. Only obviously it's very different because it's expanded and translated into the world of a motion picture."

The film, simply titled Warcraft, is based on the popular video game franchise and the studio and Raimi understand that since the game already has millions of worldwide subscribers, the film has huge potential to become a franchise, something which Raimi is already quite familiar with. Although the World Of Warcraft following does mean the film has the enormous potential to hoover the box office, it also means that fans »

Sam Raimi's upcoming movie based on World of Warcraft has taken a significant step forward. The Spider-Man director tells MTV that Saving Private Ryan screenwriter Robert Rodat will be handling the script for the movie. Raimi adds that, contrary to previous rumors, the movie will be an original work based on the role-playing game's universe, and not an adaptation of the book Arthas: Rise of the Lich King.

Sam Raimi Names Warcraft Writer

14 October 2009 12:28 AM, PDT | EmpireOnline | See recent EmpireOnline news »

Sam Raimi has dropped the name of Warcraft's screenwriter in an interview with MTV. Robert Rodat, who wrote Saving Private Ryan and The Patriot, is the guy who'll be wrangling the Horde and the Alliance.Why Rodat? Clearly the pitfalls of the game-to-film adaptation are not lost on the director, and he wants to make certain of a rock-solid starting point. "I've never made a video game movie," says Raimi, "but my approach would be to work with the best character writer I can find, which in this case is Robert Rodat, and tell a great character story." Contrary to some previous reports, the film's plot will be original, and won't be based on any of the Warcraft novelisations. It's a way away yet though, as Raimi has the small matter of Spider-Man 4 to contend with in the meantime.  »
