Buried’s Ryan Reynolds on Filming in Tight Spaces
Posted by Andru Edwards Categories: Lionsgate, Horror, Thrillers, Celebrity Gossip, New Releases, Trailers,
Ryan Reynolds - who plays Paul, a US contractor in Iraq who is buried alive - admits he had moments of “utter panic” when he shooting his new movie Buried.
“Claustrophobic is a primal fear that exists within everybody,” Reynolds said. “For me I was enclosed in there and had moments of utter panic that were soothed in various ways. One woman was playing all the roles when we were shooting. I had a microphone close to my chest and she could hear my panic attack starting ‘cause she could hear my heart accelerating. There were times when I couldn’t get out of the coffin with any ease so I just had to stay in there with 50-60 pounds of wood on your chest pressing down so you start to have moments of panic.”

Steven Spielberg Eyeing Robopocalypse
Posted by Andru Edwards Categories: DreamWorks, Action, Adaptation, Adventure, Science Fiction, Books, Rumors,
Steven Spielberg is considering a directorial role on Robopocalypse.
The Oscar-winning filmmaker is lining up the project—based on a forthcoming novel by Daniel H. Wilson—with reports that Dreamworks is “in a frenzy” about the potential of the movie.
“With DreamWorks, everything is potentially a Steven project - until it’s not. That’s why everyone’s in a frenzy trying to read it,” a source told the Vulture blog.
The story, which was optioned by the studio back in November 2009, is believed to be a realistic portrayal of a possible robot uprising.
It is one of a number of robot-related projects being created by DreamWorks. Transformers 3 is due to be released earlier next year, while Reel Steel, a movie about robot boxing, is due to hit cinemas in November 2011.
Steven is currently filming War Horse - the tale of a boy who goes to the battlefields of World War I to find his beloved horse - and is attached to work on sci-fi movie Interstellar, due for release in 2012.

Chris Noth: Sex and the City Movies are Over
Posted by Veronica Santiago Categories: New Line, Warner Bros, Romance, Sequels, Comedy, Rumors,
Given Sex and the City 2’s dismal opening weekend and horrible reviews, this announcement should come as no surprise: there will be no more sequels. At least, not according to Chris Noth.
“It’s over. The franchise is dead. The press killed it. Your magazine f**king killed it,” the
actor declared recently to New York Magazine.
“It’s like all the critics got together and said, ‘This franchise must die.’ Because they all had the exact same review. It’s like they didn’t see the movie,” Noth, who played Mr. Big in the series, added.
So what do you think of Noth’s comments? Are you glad SATC is finally being put to rest—or are you holding out hope for another round?

VIDEO: The Michael Cera School of Acting
Posted by Veronica Santiago Categories: Celebrity Gossip, Videos,
I’ve often said that actor Jesse Eisenberg (Zombieland) could be the new Michael Cera—now I understand the reason for the similarities.
In this video for “The Michael Cera School of Acting,” actors who’ve struggled with their good looks and charm are taught how to act like the Juno star. Classes like “Inappropriate Laughter” and “How to Perpetually Look Like You’re Seventeen” help thespians “tone down their charisma and embrace the awkward.”
Eisenberg is just one of the big names to have completed the program. Other gradutes from the school started in 2007 reportedly include Christopher Mintz-Plasse (Kick-Ass), Jay Baruchel (She’s Out of My League) and Shia LaBeouf.

Daniel Radcliffe Undergoes Psychological Preparation
Posted by Andru Edwards Categories: Adaptation, Foreign, Horror, Thrillers, Casting, Celeb News, Filmmaking, Upcoming Releases,
Daniel Radcliffe is seeing a psychologist to prepare for a new film role.
The Harry Potter star is taking research for his new movie horror thriller The Woman In Black so seriously he is seeing a specialist with expertise in grief and loss to prepare as best he can, drawing on the loss of his own grandmother Elsie.
“The preparation has been difficult. Daniel is filming a mature, complex role and wants to understand his character’s emotion,” a source said.
Daniel plays young lawyer Arthur Kipps in the movie, a young man who must visit the estate of a deceased client, later discovering he is not alone in the property. The movie - based on the book by Susan Hill - is being adapted by Kick-Ass screenwriter Jane Goldman and My Little Eye scripter James Watkins.
Daniel, 21, previously admitted he was “excited” by the movie, his first since completing work on the Harry Potter series: “I am incredibly excited to be part of The Woman In Black. Jane Goldman’s script is beautifully written - both tender and terrifying in equal measure. It is thrilling to be working with James Watkins. From his brilliant work on Eden Lake and also having met him and heard his vision for the film, I know he will make a fantastic film.”
The movie, which is being shot in 3-D, is due for release in 2011.
