Hugh Grant is "pretty much finished" with acting. The 51-year-old star doesn't take on many film projects anymore and says he doesn't like the process of appearing in front of the camera anymore.
"I'm pretty much finished. Occasionally something tickles my fancy, otherwise I'm fine. I'm still not very keen on acting. I don't do much work, but I like aspects of it. I like the camaraderie with people you are working with. But actually standing in front of a camera, no I don't love that."
The British star also says he tries to give realistic advice to people who ask him about acting.
"I get a lot of cousins and friends asking me for advice, saying, 'I want to be an actor.' It's this disease that some people get, it's weird. Sometimes they are incredibly talented, and sometimes, they have no talent whatsoever, and I don't know what to tell them or their parents. The saddest thing in the world is to see someone going on in their late thirties or forties still struggling to play a carrot on a TV commercial. For some people, they have to do it, they are so stage struck."
Daniel Craig Wants to Hold on to Bond Role

Daniel Craig wants to play James Bond for as long as he can.
The actor will be reprising his role as the British spy for the third time in new movie Skyfall and says he has no intention of quitting until he is told to. "I will keep going until they tell me to stop," he said.
However, Daniel - who took over from Pierce Brosnan as the suave spy in 2005's Casino Royale - knows there will be a time when he has to give it up: "I know there'll be someone after me, and hopefully someone after them - I'm just trying to keep [the series] going."
Daniel, 44, says despite there being a four-year gap between Skyfall and the last Bond film Quantum of Solace, work had still been going on behind the scenes. "We haven't been resting on our laurels, we've been plotting what to do with this film. The first one was a whirr - it was a new experience and flew by - the second one was the tricky second album, but this one we've really planned and got a great script. It's going to be different from the last one, but it will still be a great Bond movie."
Rihanna Would ‘Love’ Whitney Houston Role
Posted by Andru Edwards Categories: Biopics, Casting, Celeb News,
Rihanna would give "her entire life" to play Whitney Houston in a biopic. The "You Da One" hitmaker - who makes her feature film debut this summer in Battleship - admits she would love to play the late singer in a possible movie, because she was inspired by her as a youngster.
"My first song that I remember falling in love with was a Whitney Houston song, "I Will Always Love You." It was really inspiring, and it made me develop a passion for music, so really she's partly responsible for me being here in this industry. That would be something that I would have to give my entire life to do, because I would really want to pull it off. That's a huge, huge role and whoever does it has to do a good job," she said.
James Cameron: ‘Titanic is a Metaphor’
Posted by Andru Edwards Categories: 20th Century Fox, Paramount, Drama, Period, Romance, Celeb News, New Releases,
James Cameron thinks Titanic is a "metaphor" for the end of the human race.
The writer and director of the 1997 epic movie thinks the tale of Jack and Rose - portrayed by Leonardo DiCaprio and Kate Winslet - is still relevant 12 years later because the sinking of the legendary ship represents the problem of global warming.
"I think we're facing a century of adversity on a global scale because we're just going past all of nature's boundaries for how we create food and how we create energy. This is the century where we're either going to figure it out and get our s**t together as a species or we're going down. TheTitanic metaphor is there. We've been warned, the iceberg is right in front of us and we just can't seem to turn this big b***h of a ship fast enough not to hit it."
With the Oscar-winning movie re-released on April 6 in state of the art 3D, James warned the human race is currently "recklessly charging towards an iceberg," proving the film still has "meaning" today.

Dumb and Dumber 2 to Shoot This Year
Posted by Andru Edwards Categories: New Line, Sequels, Comedy, Celeb News, Scripts, Upcoming Releases,
A Dumb and Dumber sequel will start shooting in September.
Peter Farrelly - who directed the first instalment of the comedy film in 1994 - has confirmed Jeff Daniels and Jim Carrey are on board to create the follow-up, which will not be similar to Dumb and Dumberer, a 2003 prequel in which neither of them starred.
"We're getting set to shoot Dumb and Dumber 2 in September. It's the first sequel we've ever done and we've got Jim Carrey and Jeff Daniels back. We did not do Dumb and Dumberer. That was a studio thing. So we've always wanted to do a sequel and finally Jim called up. Jeff always wanted to do it. We always wanted to do it. Jim was busy, but he called and said, 'We've got to do this thing again,'" Peter said.
No story is yet known for the picture. The first film told the tale of two idiotic friends - Lloyd Christmas and Harry Dunne - and their mis-adventures on a road trip around the country. It took $247 million at the international box office.
Woman in Black Sequel Planned

A Woman in Black follow-up is in development. Studio Hammer is teaming with Alliance Films and Cross Creek Pictures to work on the project, which will be called The Woman in Black: Angels of Death and will take place 40 years after the original movie.
Jon Croker - who worked as a story editor on the first film - will write the picture, with Roy Lee executively producing. It is not believed Daniel Radcliffe, who played the leading character in the first movie, will return as the story will focus on a couple who move into eerie Eel Marsh House four decades after the setting of the original. No director has yet been signed up either.
The Woman in Black has so far taken $120 million at the box office internationally, and marked the first major movie for Daniel following his career in the Harry Potter franchise. Speaking about his break away from playing the boy wizard previously, Daniel revealed his working from a young age made him protective over other youngsters on set:

As with what seems like any and every young adult novel-turned-film these days, The Hunger Games continues to rake in the cash at the box office, coming out on top again in its second week with $61.1 million.
Apparently more folks are willing to fork over the dough to see teens battling to the death over titan carnage, considering Wrath of the Titans debuted in second with $34.2 million -- nearly half of The Hunger Games' winnings. The Snow White film Mirror, Mirror debuted at third with $19 million while 21 Jump Street was bumped down two spots to fourth with $15 million. Finishing in fifth place with $8 million was Dr. Seuss' The Lorax.

Joss Whedon was concerned that The Avengers might turn into a "sausagefest."
The 47-year-old director cast Scarlett Johansson in the superhero movie - which sees her reprise her role of Natasha Romanoff / Black Widow from Iron Man 2 - to avoid the film being dominated by its male stars Robert Downey Jr., Chris Evans, Chris Hemsworth and Mark Ruffalo.
