Alexander Skarsgård Talks Straw Dogs and Thor
9 hours ago

»
This post is probably going to be a bit like kicking a beehive. Every time we run an article about the upcoming Thor movie, starring Chris Hemsworth as the Norse god of Marevel comics and legend, there is a flurry of comments reiterating the fan opinion that Alexander Skarsgård should have been the one cast. And, in a small interview, he says he very nearly was, and that he auditioned quite a few times.
Before saying that he auditioned for Thor "many, many times," the actor told Black Book (via The Playlist):
I know that they considered me for the part and I got, from what I understand, very close to getting it and that’s amazing because I know how many guys they look at for a part like that. I was very humbled by that. It was a great experience and you know you win some you lose some,

Of her many roles, the late actress once said her penguin in 'Happy Feet' was most like her.

"You're a virgin who can't drive." With that one line in "Clueless," delivered in saucy mean-girl style, Brittany Murphy entered the pop culture history books. Fourteen years later, the 32-year-old actress died after suffering an apparent full cardiac arrest on Sunday morning. But before her tragic passing, Murphy left a string of memorable performances on the big and small screen.
Murphy got her start in Hollywood with a series of guest appearances on TV shows while still in her teens. " 'Murphy Brown' was a really big deal for me. That was my second day in L.A.," she told MTV News in 2006. And it wasn't long before the actress secured the plum role of ugly duckling Tai Fraiser in "Clueless.

Best Films Of The Decade (aka The Naughties) From Alex & Terry
List # 1
By Alex Simon
When Terry and I initially discussed writing these lists, I had a tough time thinking back on 20 films over the past decade which I was really taken with, thinking that movies have sunk so low over the past ten years, that even choosing a dozen would be a short-order job. Thirty minutes into it, my list had nearly 60 titles! After much cutting, pasting, and re-cutting and pasting, here are my top 20 films (in no particular order) of the first decade of the 21st century, dubbed by many as “the naughties.” --A.S.
1.No Country for Old Men (Coen Brothers, 2007) An elegiac blend of stark beauty and full-throttle despair from two of our finest filmmakers, set in the contemporary American West. Every frame is damn near flawless, and would have been an even more perfect vehicle for the late Sam Peckinpah.

More and more "Scream 4" news are starting to surface on the Web, although I prefer to consider some of them more as rumors at this point. The latest: Neve Campbell's thoughts about Wes Craven.
In a recent interview with Black Book, actress Neve Campbell said she believes Wes Craven may return to direct the fourth film in the popular horror series. Kevin Williamson is currently writing the script.
"I'm pretty sure at this stage that Wes [Craven] is back on board to direct and Kevin [Williamson] is definitely writing it...so it is going to be great," she said.

Scream 4 has been confirmed, as has the return of cast members Courtney Cox-Arquette, David Arquette, and Neve Campbell. But the questions over who will direct remain -- or at least they did before Campbell got to talking.
In a recent interview with Black Book Mag, Campbell had this to say, "I’m pretty sure at this stage that Wes [Craven] is back on board to direct and Kevin [Willamson] is definitely writing it...so it is going to be great."
So there you have it. Craven is likely back for the sequel that the audience was asking for -- wait, I don't think anyone did ask for this sequel. Oh well, never mind that.
As to how that script is shaping up, you can put your fears to rest. Check out this portion of the interview:
So you haven’t been sent a script yet, then?

Neve Campbell Confirms That Wes Craven Is Back For Scream 4

We told you over a month ago that Wes Craven was pretty much guaranteed to be returning to direct Scream 4, and while there's still no official deal announcement out there, there's now a confirmation from about as reliable a source there is: Neve Campbell. Talking to Black Book Mag, Campbell said "I.m pretty sure at this stage that Wes [Craven] is back on board to direct and Kevin [Willamson] is definitely writing it...so it is going to be great."
Craven has directed all the previous Scream installments, so it's hard to imagine them actually going forward without him, especially if they're going through the effort of reuniting the original cast. Given that by the time of the third movie we were all pretty exhausted with the franchise, I'm not entirely sure what we're supposed to be looking forward to about the whole thing. But if they've got Craven

These days franchises are getting rebooted and remade left and right, but for one particular popular horror franchise, it's going to pick up right where it left off. We've known about a Scream 4 (and a potential new trilogy) for quite some time now (hell, there's even a teaser poster out there despite still having no script out to actors), as well as the return of franchise veterans Neve Campbell, Courtney Cox, David Arquette, and writer Kevin Williamson. In a new interview with Campbell on Black Book (via SlashFilm), she reveals that director Wes Craven is pretty much attached to revisit the Ghostface Killer in this fourthcoming sequel.
Campbell said: "I’m pretty sure at this stage that Wes [Craven] is back on board to direct and Kevin [Willamson] is definitely writing it...so it is going to be great."
Her being pretty sure could just be conjecture at this point. Though

Courtney Cox and David Arquette are signed, Neve Campbell is on board (just) but the one man that film fans everwhere are hoping will be making a comeback for Scream 4 is the series’ creator, director Wes Craven. Back in October the “A Nightmare on Elm Street” and “Scream” creator, Wes Craven has previously said that there was a possibility he’d return to the series provided the script was good enough.
Now, speaking to Black Book Magazine, Scream queen Neve Campbell says she’s pretty sure that the master of horror is on board for Scream 4, the first in a new trilogy:
I’m pretty sure at this stage that Wes [Craven] is back on board to direct and Kevin [Willamson] is definitely writing it…so it is going to be great.

It's been a while since last Neve Campbell talked about the Scream franchise, but the star just dropped some really interesting things about the upcoming film.
In a recent interview with Black Book Mag Campbell had this to say:
"I'm pretty sure at this stage that Wes [Craven] is back on board to direct and Kevin [Willamson] is definitely writing it...so it is going to be great." This could very well be the first confirmation that Craven will be back in the director's chair for this fourth entry ... then again it could also be speculation.
Regarding the also returning David Arquette and Courteney Cox, she says, "I haven't spoken to them in a while. I'm sure it took a while to convince them to take part [in the picture], especially because they’re now a very happy family, and of course, it was a long journey for them. I think it's going to be a lot of fun,

Campbell will be joining David Arquette and Courteney Cox, along with a group of new stars, who can hopefully stay alive long enough to figure out the new rules to this one-of-a-kind horror franchise.

Is James Franco trying to re-invent himself? Is there really such a need for that? I mean, the guy is popular and well-respected for his talent - he's good at comedy, drama, action-thriller. Now he's doing soap opera! Is there something going on? Apparently there is. Movieline did an interview with 'Carter', considered Franco's frequent artistic collaborator, to find out what the actor is up to. I'm not too sure what 'artistic collaborator' means really, but I had a bad feeling... Anyway, let's take a closer look...
