Emma Watson Stalker Crashes ‘Noah’ Set
Posted by Robin Paulson Categories: Paramount, Drama, Period, Religious, Celebrity Gossip, Rumors, Upcoming Releases,
Whether she's Hermione attending school at Hogwarts or her non-magical self on the set of Noah, Emma Watson has not had a good relationship with the woods.
While filming Darren Aronofsky's film adaptation of the biblical story in Long Island, NY, Watson "screamed in terror" when she ran into a man among the trees - a man whom she recognized from hanging around her home. The man tried to escape the set, but security managed to capture him and sent for the police, although he was let off with a warning for trespassing.
"It was really creepy. Emma was really shaken up and was given some time to compose herself," a source told The Sun.
According to the insider, the stalker run-in only adds to Watson's stress about filming the project: "The movie has been grueling anyway and this left a very sinister feeling hanging over the set."

Daniel Craig Finds it Hard to Strip for Bond

Daniel Craig says it's getting "harder and harder" to do nude scenes in James Bond movies.
The 44-year-old actor - who is returning for his third film as the iconic British spy in Skyfall - admits he has "fun" taking his clothes off while portraying the secret agent and hopes it adds some "sexiness" to the 007 film franchise: "I don't actually read those bits. I don't care how many times I have to do it. It's going to be harder and harder the older I get. It's just fun. There's enough sexiness in the movie with the girls - and hopefully me as well - but it's a little bit of a gag now."
Daniel stars opposite Javier Bardem in Skyfall and while he admits there was no free time to spend with the 43-year-old star - who portrays latest Bond villain Raoul Silva - during filming, he is keen to watch a game of rugby with the No Country For Old Men actor when they get a chance.

VIDEO: New ‘Django Unchained’ Trailer Unleashed
Posted by Robin Paulson Categories: Columbia Pictures, Weinstein Company, Action, Period, Trailers, Upcoming Releases, Videos,
Christmas brings joy to many -- even moreso for fans of Quentin Tarantino, whose latest film Django Unchained is set to debut on the winter holiday. After viewing the film's second trailer (seen above), however, I can't say that I'm as excited as I typically find myself with a Tarantino release.
It could be that I just don't buy Leonardo DiCaprio as a villainous, eyeliner-sporting slave owner? Or perhaps it's the intended-to-be-humorous quips from Christoph Waltz and Jonah Hill that didn't impress me? Check out the trailer and let me know what you think!

+ Photos of Nicole Kidman getting into character as Grace Kelly have been released. Kidman will portray the Hollywood starlet-turned-royalty in the biopic Grace of Monaco, set in 1962. Not surprisingly, she looks as effortlessly chic and classy as the late Oscar winner.
+ The Killing star Joel Kinnaman was snapped up in Toronto while filming scenes for the upcoming remake of RoboCop, which sees him starring as the eponymous character.
+ The intriguing dynamic between Alfred Hitchcock and his wife Alma is on display in the new trailer for Sacha Gervasi's Hitchcock. One can easily see from the clips that both Anthony Hopkins and Helen Mirren are clear Oscar contenders with their potrayals of the married couple.
+ Uma Thurman is the latest actress cast in Lars von Trier's controversial Nymphomaniac. There is no word yet as to who she will play in the film, which marks her first collaboration with the Danish auteur.

Getting Into Character: Jessica Biel and Scarlett Johansson in Hitchcock
Posted by Robin Paulson Categories: Fox Searchlight, Biopics, Drama, Period, Casting, Upcoming Releases,
Jessica Biel and Scarlett Johansson channel a couple of classic Hollywood starlets in the upcoming biopic of Alfred Hitchcock -- here's a sneak peek at the pair's transformations into the two actresses of Psycho.
"Hitchcock dressed her up in a wig and did everything could to make the beautiful Vera Miles look frumpy. What Hitch tried to do to Vera we tried to do to Jessica, and the results were equally ridiculous. It is not possible to make Jessica Biel dowdy," said Hitchcock director Sacha Gervasi.

Johnny Depp Hurts His Back on Lone Ranger Set
Posted by Andru Edwards Categories: Disney, Action, Adventure, Remakes, Celebrity Gossip, Upcoming Releases,
Johnny Depp injured his back shooting The Lone Ranger.
The 49-year-old actor was left writhing in pain on two occasions during action scenes for the Western film - in which he plays Native American Tonto opposite Armie Hammer, who portrays the title character - and he has now realized he can't do many of his own stunts and needs to rely more on a double.
"While it's been hard to accept that he can't perform such demanding feats anymore, Johnny is seeing it. He threw out his back twice while shooting the movie and then had to push through, getting massages in between takes," a source told Star.
As well as suffering with back pain, Johnny has also been struggling with insomnia on set. But the director Gore Verbinski and the crew have been sympathetic to the sleep problems the Hollywood star has been experiencing and have adjusted shooting schedules for him. "Johnny is also struggling with sleep problems so the crew has had to adjust to the fact that he can't shoot all night. He needs at least six hours of shut eye. This movie has really kicked his butt. He's so happy it's wrapping up and has joked that his body wouldn't be able to take another month of it," the source added.
