Getting Into Character: Sam Worthington in Clash of the Titans
Posted by Veronica Santiago Categories: Warner Bros, Action, Adventure, Period, Remakes, Upcoming Releases,
Hugh Jackman may be the Aussie getting most of the attention right now, but here’s a name you should remember: Sam Worthington.
Last month, the actor got his big break starring opposite Christian Bale in Terminator Salvation. It was a role James Cameron, Worthington’s director on this December’s Avatar, suggested him for. Now Sam’s testing his fighting skills in a different forum.
The picture above is from Clash of the Titans, a remake of the 1981 film. In it, Worthington plays Perseus, the son of Zeus (Liam Neeson). The “epic action adventure” follows Perseus’ journey to battle Hades (Ralph Fiennes), the god of the underworld.
Titans, which is being directed by The Incredible Hulk‘s Louis Leterrier, also stars Gemma Arterton (Quantum of Solace), Mads Mikkelsen (Casino Royale), Jason Flemyng (Benjamin Button) and Alexa Davalos (Defiance).

Sacha Baron Cohen Teases with New Bruno Poster
Posted by Veronica Santiago Categories: Universal, Comedy, Upcoming Releases,
Just because Sacha Baron Cohen‘s R-rated now doesn’t mean he can’t show off his assets.
Although it was originally slapped with an NC-17, an edited version of Brüno has made its way past the MPAA censors. (If you want to guess which scenarios were trimmed, you can view the red band trailer here.) Those old enough to see the original version will most likely see the cuts in the DVD release.
The cringe-inducing mockumentary will hit the catwalk on July 10. Until then, you can learn much more about the flamboyant Austrian fashionista through his “MeinSpace” page.

As if the names “Quentin Tarantino” and “Brad Pitt” weren’t already enough for us.
In a recent interview with MTV, B.J. Novak provided an insider’s perspective on Tarantino’s Inglourious Basterds. (The 29-year-old plays Private First Class Utivich.) Although he admits the WWII-era film is a bit hard to describe, the Office star didn’t have any difficulty heaping praise on one of the “coolest movies” he’s “ever seen or been a part of.”

Brangelina Babies Born…What’s Next?
Posted by K.C. Morgan Categories: Action, Adaptation, Casting, Celeb News, Celebrity Gossip, Upcoming Releases,
Unless you managed to seal yourself in a cave the past few weeks, you know the Brad Pitt-Angelina Jolie twins have been born. This Hollywood power couple has never let grass grow under their feet - so what’s next for the industrious pair? Not much has been confirmed, but one thing is certain - these two just aren’t going to stop making headlines.
In case you haven’t heard the news, The Dark Knight is making money hand over fist (domestically, the film has already made well over an astronomical $300 million). It’s only natural that talk of a new Batman installment is already circulating.
None of those associated with the current Batman movies have said much about the possible flick, but one star from the past has stepped forward to put in her two cents. Julie Newmar, the iconic Catwoman who played opposite Adam West’s Batman, has nominated Angelina Jolie for her former role. “Angelina would own the part,” Newmar stated to the New York Daily News.

Kevin Smith Talks Porno
Posted by K.C. Morgan Categories: Miramax, Comedy, Upcoming Releases,
UPDATE: Smith has since successfully appealed the MPAA for an R-rating.
Kevin Smith shot his first movie, Clerks, in the same convenience store where he worked. Later that year, this low-budget film (it cost less than $30,000 in its entirety) made a big splash at the Sundance Film Festival. The world of View Askew has now grown much larger and the family much bigger, but now Smith is taking a bold step outside his own comfortable box of satirical comedy and pithy dialogue.
Believe it or not, the writer/director/actor has made a dirty film. The flick, Zack and Miri Make a Porno stars up-and-coming comedy star Seth Rogen along with former porn queen Traci Lords. Elizabeth Banks and Justin Long round out the cast. After three tries, the film has been unable to shake the NC-17 rating stated by the Motion Picture Association of America.

Adding more of a peek into Michelle Monaghan‘s character, the trailer has gotten me even more pumped about the upcoming film. Director D.J. Caruso and LaBeouf did it once with Disturbia—who says that they can’t do it again this September?

Fahrenheit 9/11 Sequel Planned
Posted by Veronica Santiago Categories: Documentary, Sequels, Upcoming Releases,
Michael Moore - never one to shy away from controversy - is back at it again. The writer/producer/director has chosen to follow up last year’s Sicko with a sequel to his 2004 hit, Fahrenheit 9/11.
While this movie will chronologically pick up where the original left off, it will not be about one specific event. It will instead have a much broader focus. According to the chief for Paramount Vantage (one of the two companies Moore is partnering with), the film “is going to tackle what’s going on in the world, and America’s place in it.”
Those already worried about the timing of Oliver Stone’s upcoming Bush project should feel at ease with this new documentary. Moore is not planning to release the film until sometime next year - long after the presidential election is over.
