Rupert Grint admits that it was “nerve-wracking” filming his first sex scene.
The actor had already had an on-screen kiss in Harry Potter and the Half Blood Prince but says getting intimate in new movie Cherrybomb was a lot harder.
“In Harry Potter it was just a kiss, really. It was suggestive more than anything. This was a lot more intimate. It was quite nerve-wracking. I was quite nervous about it.”

Daniel Radcliffe Strips For Harry Potter
Posted by Andru Edwards Categories: Warner Bros, Action, Adaptation, Adventure, Family, Science Fiction, Sequels, Thrillers, Celeb News, Celebrity Gossip, Rumors, Upcoming Releases,
Definitely one who does not fear nudity, Daniel Radcliffe will bare all twice in the next Harry Potter movie.
The actor - who has previously stripped for his part in stage production Equus, both in London and New York - will stun fans when he gets close to Emma Watson’s character Hermione Granger during a fantasy sequence in Harry Potter And The Deathly Hallows.
Director David Yates revealed, “Daniel has appeared nude in the past. There are a couple of scenes in the new film in which he will undress but we’re still thinking about how we present it.”
The scene occurs when Harry’s best friend and Hermione’s love interest Ron Weasley, played by Rupert Grint, is battling a monster which tries to defend itself by flashing a series of images where Harry and Hermione are kissing and embracing.”
Daniel will then expose himself in a later scene following a brush with death. The director added, “There is another scene in Kings Cross station, where Harry almost dies and sees Dumbledore. In that scene he will also be naked.”

First Look: Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows
Posted by Veronica Santiago Categories: Warner Bros, Adaptation, Adventure, Drama, Family, Science Fiction, Sequels, Upcoming Releases,
Anyone else eager to talk about wizards again?
Although we’ll have to endure another dose of Twilight mania in just a few more months, there is another adaptation to look forward to next year: Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows.
In this picture from Part 1 the two-part finale, the trio are seen in streetwear outside of Hogwarts Castle. “They’re paranoid,” Rupert Grint (Ron) explained about their feelings in the Muggle world. “It’s quite a scary world because the Snatchers and Death Eaters are running around everywhere. Harry, Ron and Hermione are just camping out in random places, living rough, in regular clothes.” (Heaven forbid, not regular clothes!)
You can see for yourself how Harry manages to survive in jeans when Deathly Hallows: Part I opens on November 19.

New Moon Already Breaks Box Office Record
Posted by Robin Paulson Categories: Adaptation, Drama, Romance, Science Fiction, Sequels, Thrillers, Box Office, New Releases, Rumors,
We all knew that the opening for New Moon was going to be big, but did we actually think it was going to beat out The Dark Knight and Harry Potter? Well, it did.
Rival studios reveal that the latest Twilight film took in an estimated $23-$24 million in midnight screenings alone; this surpasses The Dark Knight‘s $18.4 million record as well as Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince‘s $22.2 million. Summit Entertainment has not yet released an official number.
With a record like that, who’s to say that the vampire-werewolf crew can’t tag-team against Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen‘s current #1 spot of the year, at its $108.9 million weekend opening? With Twi-hards’ dedication, they might even give The Dark Knight a run for its money—its weekend opening did $158.4 million at the box office.
Let’s be honest here—who needs viral marketing when you have Edward Cullen and Jacob Black?

Daniel Radcliffe: Too Mature to Party
Posted by Andru Edwards Categories: Warner Bros, Celebrity Gossip,
Daniel Radcliffe claims that he is too old for partying.
The 20-year-old star no longer socializes with the rest of the Harry Potter cast and crew because he wants to carve out a career as a respected actor: “I used to play a lot of pranks in the past but I want to be a more mature, serious actor now. I don’t get involved with drinking or partying with the cast anymore.”
The actor also blasted stars who are only interested in fame, insisting he hates being “a celebrity.” He is quoted by Britain’s Daily Star as saying:
“I hate celebrity culture, but I’m unavoidably part of it. These people are celebrities as a by-product of what they do. People read every little thing about Peter Andre and Jordan and I couldn’t care less. They don’t want to work, have no interests, no passions, nothing and yet they seem to be held up on pedestals. I don’t think they should be trying to push themselves onto us. It does annoy me of course, but I’m part of it.”
Daniel’s serious attitude appears to be in contrast to his Harry Potter co-star Rupert Grint, who has been spotted at several UK music festivals this summer and makes no secret of his love of wild nights out.

Box Office Breakdown: Glorious Outing for Inglourious Basterds
Posted by Veronica Santiago Categories: Disney, Paramount, Sony, Warner Bros, Weinstein Company, Action, Adaptation, Adventure, Drama, Family, Horror, Period, Romance, Science Fiction, Sequels, Comedy, Box Office, Lists,
Inglourious Basterds, Inglorious Bastards. However you spell it, it was still a hit.
The WWII-era tale about a band of Jewish-American soldiers hit the mark this weekend with a $38 million debut. Basterds, which more than doubled its nearest competitor, gave Quentin Tarantino his biggest premiere ever. (Kill Bill, Vol. 2 grossed only $25.1 million in 2004.) The director also raked in his best international turnout to date.
Finding himself even further down the list was Tarantino buddy Robert Rodriguez. The director followed up Planet Terror with a $6.4 million outing for the PG-rated Shorts. That was enough to give the Warner Bros. feature a 6th place finish.

Box Office Breakdown: Number 1 for District 9
Posted by Veronica Santiago Categories: Disney, Paramount, Sony, Universal, Warner Bros, Action, Adaptation, Adventure, Animation, Drama, Family, Romance, Science Fiction, Sequels, Comedy, Box Office, Lists,
District 9 may not have have any big name stars and it may not be based on a story everyone knows, but it does have something no other film has this Monday: a first place finish.
Over the weekend, the R-rated actioner landed on Earth safely with over $37 million in ticket sales. The sci-fi entry also raked in one of the best per screen averages ($12,251) of any film currently in in theaters. (Sony Pictures Classics’ It Might Get Loud averaged $13,240 while in limited release.)
In the non-alien department, The Time Traveler’s Wife cornered the romantic genre with an $18.6 million total. Meanwhile, Vanessa Hudgens proved she’s nothing without her better half. The Disney star’s new film, Bandslam, failed to even crack the Top Ten. The teen comedy barely managed to gross over $2 million.

Box Office Breakdown: Audiences Drawn to Funny People
Posted by Veronica Santiago Categories: 20th Century Fox, Disney, Paramount, Sony, Universal, Warner Bros, Action, Adaptation, Adventure, Animation, Drama, Family, Horror, Romance, Science Fiction, Sequels, Comedy, Thrillers, Box Office, Lists,
When you combine the talents of Adam Sandler, Seth Rogen and Judd Apatow, a 1st place finish shouldn’t shock you. A $22.7 million haul? That is surprising.
Despite earning enough to displace G-Force for the weekend’s top spot, Funny People failed to bring the movie house down. The 144-minute length dramedy pulled in the lowest gross for any #1 entry this summer. While the film did better than any of Sandler’s dramatic efforts, it didn’t fall line with his comedic outings.
On the other hand, Rogen and Apatow had more reason to be pleased with the box office results. The Universal pic gave Seth his best debut since 2007’s Superbad. Meanwhile, Funny fell right in between The 40-Year-Old Virgin ($21.4 million) and Knocked Up ($30.7 million) for Judd.

Box Office Breakdown: G-Force Teams Up on Harry Potter
Posted by Veronica Santiago Categories: 20th Century Fox, Disney, Paramount, Warner Bros, Action, Adaptation, Adventure, Animation, Drama, Family, Horror, Period, Romance, Science Fiction, Sequels, Comedy, Box Office, Lists,
Let’s face it: Daniel Radcliffe may be cute, but guinea pigs are cuter.
Despite earning $78 million last weekend, Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince could not keep up the magic. The sequel fell to second place after earning a still impressive $29.5 million take over the past three days. Overall, the film has raked in $220 million to date and a delayed opening in IMAX theaters this Wednesday - Transformers 2 had been taking up room - should give the film another boost.
So what could possibly scoot the wizards out of first place? Rodents. Disney, which has already seen The Proposal and Up premiere on top this summer, earned another victory with the debut of G-Force. The comedy about a bunch of whiskered CIA operatives roped in $31.6 million over the weekend, just enough for a close win.
