Guy Ritchie has admitted that he took the Sherlock Holmes directing job in order to show that he can make accessible films. Speaking to Entertainment Weekly, the British director acknowledged that Holmes will attract a bigger audience than his previous movies, which include Snatch, Revolver and RocknRolla. "I've spent too much time messing around in inaccessible, esoteric material," he remarked. "I've never had my day in popular court. Sherlock Holmes will allow me to express my accessible side." Ritchie added (more) »

Thandie Newton believes in love at first sight - she dumped a boyfriend immediately after meeting her future husband Ol Parker.
The RocknRolla star was pursued by a string of men as a young woman, but admits she didn't understand what true love was until she met Parker on a film set.
She tells Britain's InStyle magazine, "He wrote a screenplay called In Your Dreams that I filmed in 1997. It's very unusual to have writers around on set because directors don't want them there. But they love having Ol around. He was on set every day and I fell madly in love with him...
"I'd never experienced that before. Up until then, my relationships had always been more based on people wanting to be with me. When I met Ol, I was dating a really sweet, lovely man and I had to leave him straight away, even though I wasn't even going out with Ol!
"But as soon as I met Ol, it kind of cut off any other blood vessels to anywhere else. We got married about two years later; we've just had our 11th wedding anniversary."
Parker and Newton are parents to daughters Ripley and Nico. »

Jamie Campbell Bower, who portrays Caius in The Twilight Saga: New Moon, has not, it seems, forgotten the source of his big break in the film industry. You might remember him as Anthony in Sweeney Todd: The Demon Barber Of Fleet Street, and, if you do, you'll know that it was director Tim Burton (as well as the minor detail of phenomenal castmates like Johnny Depp and Helena Bonham Carter) that ushered in Bower's career as a film star. Since then, of course, Bower has continued to make a name for himself with roles in films like RocknRolla (by Guy Ritchie) and Winter In Wartime. He's also been cast as the elusive Gellert Grindelwald in Harry Potter And The Deathly Hallows: Part I and Harry Potter And The Deathly Hallows: Part II. Yet, when MTV interviewer Eric Ditzian asked Bower who he'd pick as director of the not-yet-officially-greenlit The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn (which, »

Our friends over at First Showing got an interesting little scoop this afternoon, picking up some casting news from Robert Redford's upcoming Lincoln assassination film The Conspirator. A friend of Fs' Alex Billington ran into RocknRolla star Toby Kebbell, who said that he was in town to work on The Conspirator and that he's playing John Wilkes Booth. For those who missed 6th grade history, Booth was the man that pulled the trigger on President Abraham Lincoln in Box 7 at Ford's Theatre on April 14, 1865. If this turns out to be true (all signs point to yes, as it's first hand), Kebbell completes a cast that includes James McAvoy, Robin Wright Penn, Frederick Aiken, Justin Long, Evan Rachel Wood, Alexis Bledel, Kevin Kline, and Tom Wilkinson. The film will follow the story of Mary Surratt (Wright Penn), the lone female charged as a co-conspirator in the assassination. "As the whole nation turns against her, she »

Last night, a friend of mine at a Hollywood party ran into Toby Kebbell, the very talented British actor who some of you may remember seeing in RocknRolla as Johnny Quid or in Control as Rob Gretton. His career has taken off recently, as Disney has given him two key roles in two of their big movies - Prince of Persia and The Sorcerer's Apprentice. My friend said that Kebbell told him that he is getting ready to shoot Robert Redford's The Conspirator, in which he plays the role of John Wilkes Booth. The film already has an impressive cast lead by James McAvoy and Robin Wright Penn, but Kebbell wasn't listed anywhere. This not a rumor, it is confirmed casting. I trust my friend and know for certain that Kebbell was there talking with him (as I was at the same party). I'm surprised that his involvement hasn't »

Finally, we have a new look at Sherlock Holmes in a new trailer from MTV. I could only watch the first one, however awesome it was, so many times before I wanted more, and I would say that this trailer is about 60% new footage we haven’t seen before, and has me just as excited as the first. At this point, after watching lackluster work like Revolver and Rocknrolla, I didn’t really think Guy Ritchie had a movie like this in him, but he’s been greatly aided by... »

Ghosts have to get a new hobby. Seriously. They die in a specific place, probably tortured and murdered there, then haunt that location and raise hell for the living. We've seen it time and time again, now see it in The Reeds , a UK chiller from Nick Cohen ( Voodoo Lagoon ) starring Scarlett Alice Johnson and Geoff Bell ( Rocknrolla ). Long Time Dead scribe Chris Baker penned the story with Mark Anthony Galluzzo. And the premise is simple: A boating party gets lost in the ancient waterways of the Norfolk Broads and finds itself victim of a terrifying secret hidden in the reeds. Said "secret" appears to be a bunch of dead thugs (one of them charred, it seems), according to the trailer which we got our hands on. See for yourself below. Hopefully this will have... »

"Kick-Ass" actress Chloe Moretz was among those tweeting good thoughts to Nicolas Cage and his family following the death of his father August Coppola this week. A literature professor and the brother of director Francis Ford Coppola, he reportedly died following a heart attack on Tuesday.
In other tweets, David Slade slipped a fresh image into his Twitter feed of actor Xavier Samuel from "Eclipse," which he says is the first look at Samuel's character Riley in the film. A couple of "Twilight" actors tweeted last minute contemplations over their Halloween costumes, while Edgar Wright may be giving up altogether and Russell Brand decried jack-o-lanterns as symbols for the season. Check out what they all had to say after the jump. It's in the Twitter-Wood report for October 30, 2009.

After almost 15 years of development within development hell, George Miller's fourth Mad Max film is starting to inch further ahead than where it's been before. Mad Max: Fury Road now has two cast members and neither of the two are original Max star Mel Gibson.
The names now attached to the film are Charlize Theron (Hancock, The Road) and Tom Hardy (Star Trek: Nemesis, RocknRolla). The identity of both actors' characters have not been revealed, supposedly even to the players themselves.
Miller is keeping the door open for Gibson to return to the part that launched his film career in 1979, that of the road warrior Max. However, the director states that the role of Max in Fury Road could be played by either Gibson or another actor. While Hardy could be playing Max as a younger incarnation (and thus Fury Road could be considered a prequel or even »

Well, that was fast. Barely a week since they were first rumored to be a part of the new "Mad Max" sequel, the news is official — Charlize Theron and Tom Hardy are joining the cast of the George Miller-directed film.
According to separate reports in Variety and The Hollywood Reporter, both actors have signed onto "Mad Max: Fury Road," the fourth installment in the action-packed franchise.
Hardy, best known for his role as Handsome Bob in "RocknRolla," is set to replace Mel Gibson as the titular Max, while Theron joins the cast in an unspecified role as the female lead.
The "Mad Max" franchise takes place in a post-apocalyptic Australia populated by wastelands, vicious inhabitants and general lawlessness. Following the deaths of his wife and son, police officer Max Rockatansky ventures off into the great unknown of Australia's wastelands, with his own humanity hanging on by a very thin thread. »

Charlize Theron and Tom Hardy are in negotiations to star in Fury Road, the fourth installment in the Mad Max series. Writer-director George Miller has been working on the project for over a decade, and although Mel Gibson was attached at one point to return to the lead role that he played in the first three films of the series, Hardy will instead be tackling the role of Max, with Theron playing the female lead.
Little is known plot-wise about the film as Miller aims to keep a lid on what is set to be a highly anticipated event. Fans of the series have been waiting since 1985 for the next film in the series. All that is known at this point is that the film takes place a short while after the end of Mad Max Beyond Thunderdome.
Hardy recently gave an impressive performance in the title role of Bronson, »

Just a few days ago, we talked about a report E! Online had put out which stated that RocknRolla star Tom “Handsome Bob” Hardy and Charlize Theron were on the short list to star in George Miller’s 4th installment of the Mad Max series, Fury Road. E! Online didn’t have any solid confirmation regarding the rumors so the information was to be taken with a grain of salt.
Today we learn (thanks to a heads up from First Showing), that The Hollywood Reporter is confirming both Hardy and Theron have entered into negotiations to star in Fury Road, with Hardy filling in for Mel Gibson as the titular role of Max Rockatansky and Theron as the female lead (does that mean she’s the new Tina Turner?). At this point, unless something wonky happens, Hardy and Theron will be the ones we see come release time.

We reported on the rumour and now, according to the Hollywood Reporter, the star of “RockNRolla”, “Bronson” and a ton of other things, Tom Hardy and everyones favorite charity auctioneer Charlize Theron (The Road), are in negotiations to play the major parts in writer-director George Miller’s return to the sand blasted, petrol scarce world of muscle cars, speed freaks and gyro-copters. Filming doesn’t get underway to mid next year so that Mr. Miller can design his cars and other rolling methods of mayhem. Thanks Hollywood Reporter. »

Rumor on the street suggesting that Charlize Theron and Tom Hardy may be involved in "Mad Max: Fury Road" is on the right path after all. The Hollywood Reporter has confirmed that the Academy Award-winning actress and the gay gangster of "RocknRolla" are in negotiations to star in the fourth installment of the "Mad Max" series.
Hardy, who will be seen as Eames in Christopher Nolan's "Inception", is expected to step into the role of hardened ex-cop Max Rockatansk, meaning he will replace Mel Gibson who had portayed the character in the first three installments. 34-year-old Theron, in the meantime, will take on the female lead role. Details about her character are yet to be disclosed though.
"Mad Max: Fury Road", according to THR, will take place a short while after the story detailed in 1985's "Mad Max Beyond Thunderdome". To be an Australian production, this fourth film »

Well, that was quick. We started the week by bringing you George Miller talking about the early progress of Mad Max 4, and now it seems that Miller has already found the guy to fill Mel Gibson's shoes. Ladies and gentlemen, put your hands together for the new Max Rockatansky, our very own Tom Hardy.Yep, you read that right: Tom Hardy. We were surprised, too, but after a few moments of reflection it's an inspired choice. The Hollywood Reporter is, well, reporting that Hardy's turn in RocknRolla may have brought him to Miller's attention, but surely it was his turn as the eponymous Bronson. There Hardy demonstrated that considerable dangerous edge that Max should ideally have (which is not to imply that Max is a psychotic nutcase with a ludicrous moustache).Still, Miller seemed to imply he would ideally prefer some homegrown Australian talent. But Hardy seems like he'd be a solid, »
