Prince Of Persia: The Sands Of Time Trailer Goes Live
3 November 2009 3:10 AM, PST | Screenrush | See recent Screenrush news »
Our first reaction on seeing the first trailer for Prince Of Persia: The Sands Of Time was, well, a bit meh! But then we remembered that's exactly what we thought about the original promo for Pirates Of The Caribbean: The Curse Of The Black Pearl, and we all know how well that turned out!
So, for now, we're gonna overlook some of the dodgier aspects of this first look at director Mike Newell's big-budget adaptation of the beloved computer game series and focus instead on what is sure to be a rollicking good adventure.
Jake Gyllenhaal stars as the roguish Dastan, a former street urchin who inadvertantly gets hold of a magical dagger, hooks up with a lovely princess (Gemma Arterton) and falls foul of an evil wizard (Ben Kingsley).
Take a look at the trailer below (or in high-res here) and don't forget to let us know your thoughts in the comments section. »
First Look at Zoe Saldana in 'The Losers'
7 October 2009 12:30 AM, PDT | Aceshowbiz | See recent Aceshowbiz news »
Zoe Saldana has been set to play Middle-Eastern hellion Aisha in "The Losers", and Entertainment Weekly has nailed the first look at the "Star Trek" actress in character. The first photo of the lone female member of the group was taken from the set, presenting the 31-year-old in costume which is completed with eyebrow piercing and tied-back hair.
Speaking about the casting of Saldana for the part, writer Andy Diggle who wrote the series opened up, "Aisha has to be deadly and desirable in equal measure, and Zoe embodies both qualities in spades." He furthermore added by promising, "Trust me, you've never seen her kick ass the way she does in The Losers!"
Based on the comic book series published by the Vertigo, "The Losers" has "Stomp the Yard" helmer Sylvain White taking the director's chair. Peter Berg and James Vanderbilt provide the script. Jeffrey Dean Morgan stars as Clay, »

Will Johnny Depp Ditch 'Pirates 4' For Dick Cook?
21 September 2009 1:48 PM, PDT | Cinematical | See recent Cinematical news »
As the entertainment world headed out for the weekend, there was a very big shake-up at Disney, with studio head Dick Cook being ousted from the company. Disney's president Bob Iger is determined to reinvent the studio from top to bottom, and reportedly saw Cook as a relic of Disney's cartoonish past. But Cook has a lot of success under his belt, and friendships with the likes of Steven Spielberg, Tim Burton, and Johnny Depp. Depp was one of the first to speak out about Cook's departure, and hinted darkly to The New York Times about the fate of Sparrow and the Black Pearl.
Depp revealed that he only has a potential deal in place for Pirates of the Caribbean: On Stranger Tides. It's all dependent on how good the script is, and how favorable he is towards a post-Cook Disney. "There's a fissure, a crack in my enthusiasm at the moment. »

Johnny Depp Not as Enthusiastic About Pirates 4
19 September 2009 3:53 AM, PDT | Reelzchannel.com | See recent ReelzChannel news »
Just last week at Disney's D23 Expo, actor Johnny Depp appeared on stage in full Captain Jack Sparrow costume and persona to help announce the next sequel in the franchise, Pirates of the Caribbean: On Stranger Tides. However, with the sudden departure of Walt Disney Studios chairman Dick Cook this past week, Depp has admitted to feeling less enthusiastic about reprising the Pirates role because of his strong working relationship with Cook.
Depp said that he was "in" on the first movie "before there was a script or anything" after he had a conversation with Cook about the project. Depp also credited Cook with being "supportive" of his portrayal of Jack Sparrow when he was first formulating the character.
When things went a little sideways on the first Pirates movie and others at the studio were less than enthusiastic about my interpretation of the character, Dick was there from the first moment. »

Johnny Depp Confirmed in Pirates of the Caribbean: On Stranger Tides
11 September 2009 10:40 AM, PDT | Reelzchannel.com | See recent ReelzChannel news »
Actor Johnny Depp hovered near the top of the list of Hollywood leading men for years, but it wasn't until his blockbuster portrayal of Captain Jack Sparrow in Walt Disney's Pirates of the Caribbean that he became a worldwide superstar. Now, his character is so linked with the franchise, it would be hard to imagine a Pirates movie without him. Thankfully, Depp's return to the role is no longer a concern, at least for one more movie. In a rare public appearance in costume, Depp sailed into Disney's D23 Expo in Anaheim, California, to help announce that the fourth installment in the franchise, Pirates of the Caribbean: On Stranger Tides, was beginning production and that he would be returning as Captain Jack Sparrow. The film is slated for a summer 2011 release.

Pirates of the Caribbean parrot attacks police officer
11 September 2009 7:25 AM, PDT | Boxwish.com | See recent BoxWish news »
What’s that age old saying? Ah yes, ‘never work with children or animals’, good solid advice. Sometimes they’re an important part in films and are often well trained so they don’t cause trouble. But one police officer found out the hard way how protective these movie star pets can be when he was attacked by an angry parrot. The bird, named Chips, starred in the first installment on the swashbuckling series, Pirates of the Caribbean: The Curse of the Black Pearl, alongside Johnny Depp, Keira Knightley and Orlando bloom.
His female owner was pulled over at Dover ferry dock in Kent after an officer spotted her macaw flying around inside the vehicle. After checks showed she was banned from driving, a newly trained officer, PC Martin Dadd, was chosen to drive her car to the pound with the parrot still inside. Chips was extremely angry about the »
tMF Talkback: Anatomy of a Good Actor - The 'case' between Orlando Bloom, Ben Barnes and Johnny Depp

What constitute good acting? What makes a good actor? Are there certain steps one must follow in order to become an actor or is it a gift or a natural talent and requires no formal training?

tMF Oscarwatch: Best Picture Contender - James Cameron's Avatar - tMF takes a closer look (Part 1)
30 August 2009 7:46 PM, PDT | The Movie Fanatic | See recent The Movie Fanatic news »
The first thing I did after watching the trailer for James Cameron's Avatar was to look for more background info to fully grasp what it's all about. I'm already impressed with what I saw and what contains below impressed me even more:
In 1994, director James Cameron wrote an 80-page scriptment for Avatar. Cameron said his inspiration was "every single science fiction book I read as a kid", and that he was particularly striving to update the style of Edgar Rice Burroughs' John Carter series. Cameron saw his story as being about how advanced civilizations supplant indigenous cultures, in either actively genocidal or more unpremeditated ways, and was influenced by the story of Pocahontas. In Avatar, humanity extends that practice to entire planets. The premise of a paralyzed man whose mind is remotely controlling an alien body is very similar to Paul Anderson's 1957 short story "Call me Joe." In »

[DVD Review] CutThroat Island
11 August 2009 3:00 PM, PDT | JustPressPlay.net | See recent JustPressPlay news »
Either I'm a sucker for pirate stories, or I owe Renny Harlin an apology. After lambasting him for his disaster of an action film 12 Rounds, I now see that as a director he was hideously robbed of the fame CutThroat Island should have brought him when the box office of its time failed to recognize the greatness inherent in pirate epics. Fast forward eight years to Disney’s vastly inferior Pirates of the Caribbean: The Curse of the Black Pearl and you begin to realize just how bad Mr. Harlin got hosed. Compared to PotC, CutThroat Island’s visuals have a much grander scale; its story’s plot has actual merit; and it’s not all kept afloat by a flamboyant Johnny Depp in pirate garb.

Stuart Beattie Discusses G.I. Joe: The Rise of Cobra

The screenwriter of this anticipated new film talks about the anticipated summer film and his huge slate of future films
Like most screenwriters, Stuart Beattie may not be well known by name (except for people like me), but more for his body of work. If I were to say 'I interviewed Stuart Beattie" to my friends, they would say, 'Who?' But, if I then said, "The guy who wrote the first Pirates of the Caribbean: The Curse of the Black Pearl, Collateral and 30 Days of Night," they would surely know that I talked to a talented writer. I spoke with Beattie over the phone to discuss his latest film, G.I. Joe: The Rise of Cobra, which is set to hit theaters nationwide on August 7. Here's what this Australian writer (he also wrote Australia) had to say about his new film.

Has Pirates 4 Found It’s Director?
31 July 2009 10:27 PM, PDT | FilmShaft.com | See recent FilmShaft.com news »
Since Gore Verbinski stepped down from the director’s chair of Pirates of the Caribbean 4 to focus on a movie version of the vidgame “Bioshock” (which never took off), there’s been one question that Pirates fans have been desperate to have answered - Who will step up to direct?
Well it seems we may have our answer to that question folks, as Variety have announced that Disney are close to signing up Rob Marshall to direct Johnny Depp and Co. in the fourth installment of the popular fantasy adventure.
According to Variety, producer Jerry Bruckheimer and Disney have been meeting with a number of directors in recent weeks, because the studio wants to pull the “Pirates” film together and have Depp star in it before he does “The Lone Ranger” for the producer and the studio.
And while Marshall’s involvement hasn’t been immediately confirmed, sources have said »

After sailing without a captain for a few months, it seems the "Pirates of the Caribbean" franchise has found its skipper. According to Variety, Disney is close to selecting Rob Marshall to direct the fourth film after the departure in April of three-time "Pirates" director Gore Verbinski.
Johnny Depp is already set to reprise his role as Captain Jack Sparrow, though the details of the script are not yet known. Variety reports that Disney and producer Jerry Bruckheimer have held several meetings with Marshall in recent weeks as they look to begin shooting before Depp begins work on another Bruckheimer project, "The Lone Ranger." Production on the fourth "Pirates" would commence in 2010.
While a deal with Marshall is not yet in place and Disney has not confirmed the news, »

DVD buyers who complain about the difficulty of transferring their movies to their mobile phones because of built-in copyright protection software may soon be able to buy a home video package that will include, along with the DVD, a microSD chip that can be inserted in their phones and provide immediate movie viewing. The first such disc packages (the Pirates of the Caribbean and National Treasure series) are due to go on sale in Japan in November with plans to introduce similar DVD/Sd combos in the U.S. later this year. Packages containing the Sd card will sell for roughly $10 more than the DVD alone, published reports indicated. »
