Oscar buzz is already circulating around Australia.
The epic, directed by Baz Luhrmann and starring Nicole Kidman and Hugh Jackman, the movie focuses on an English aristocrat who inherits a ranch the size of Maryland. When English cattle barons plot to take her land, she joins forces with a cattle driver to drive two thousand head of cattle across hundreds of miles of the country.
Over the last couple months, director McG has compared his vision of Terminator Salvation to Batman Begins and Aliens.
In a recent conversation with MTV News, McG gave the network another dark, serious tale with which he'd compare the next Terminator movie.
“I gave all the actors The Road to read to get their heads right bout this sort of existential detachment that living in a post apocalyptic world would bring,” McG said. “We’re in a very large post apocalyptic environment. The bombs have gone off and there’s very little left. People are wandering through lonely landscapes."
Cormac McCarthy’s book won the Pulitzer Prize and is being made into a movie itself this fall.
The Road follows a father and son journeying together through an ash covered landscape, years after a worldwide disaster that killed almost everyone else on earth. It’s brilliant, depressing and morbid.
McG thinks John Connor can relate to all those emotions.
“I think the first two pictures took those ideas so seriously,” McG said of the themes of inescapable destiny and dread. “We wanted to make sure we did that [as well].”
Despite the wild success of The Dark Knight, along with rumors of who might portray the next Batman villain, there hasn't been anything official yet about a Batman sequel actually coming together.
Until now.
According to Variety, "There's a deal for [director Christopher Nolan] to helm a third pic, but he has yet to decide on whether to tackle it yet."
Warner Bros. studio boss Alan Horn told the publication: "We have no idea where Chris is going with this. ... We haven't had any conversations with him about it."
Don't worry, Batman fans. We'd be shocked if Nolan doesn't sign a deal to direct the follow-up to The Dark Knight before the year is over.
Rainn Wilson portrays a creepy weirdo on The Office. But don't expect this trend to continue, as the actor told USA Today in a recent interview about his upcoming movie, The Rocker.
"No more creepy, nerdy weirdos," Wilson said. "I play one on a TV show and have played them before, and people have seen me as that. Frankly, I can do a lot more and different stuff. I don't want to limit myself."
Wilson plays Robert "Fish" Fishman, a Cleveland loser whose dreams - as well as his clothes and mullet hairstyle - are two decades out of fashion. As Vesuvius, the group that unceremoniously dumped him, prepares for induction into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame, Fishman joins his teenage nephew's garage band and hijacks its early success.
"There is always this fear in Hollywood that, 'Oh, characters need to be likable and relatable.' And I don't know if that's necessarily the case," Wilson said of his character in The Rocker.
"I think that characters need to be human and they need to be recognizable, but they don't have to necessarily be likable," he says. "That opens a whole world of comic possibilities. I enjoy playing essentially unlikable characters and really committing to it and digging in."
Since his debut role in the 1998 Lock, Stock and Two Smoking Barrels, Jason Statham has quickly risen to being one of the biggest names in action movies. Trust us when we say Statham is a Reel Movie Star.
Statham initially started off in the world of sports in both competitive diving and driving. As a diver, Statham was an Olympic Diver on the British National Diving Team. As a driver, Statham finished 12th in the World Championships in 1992.
Statham soon took his chiseled ahtletic body to the world of modeling. It was when he was a model for the French Connection that he was discovered and auditioned for a role in Lock Stock & Two Smoking Barrels. From there, Statham has been on a non-stop career filled with some of the best action movies this decade and Statham's next movie, Death Race, doesn't look to disappoint.
To honor this bloke, we put up just a fraction of his movies with a ten movie filmography, six photos, and hundreds of quick one-liners.
Now what Reel Movie Star post would be complete without a series of fun facts:
Now we'll leave you with a photo montage of this hunky action star.
Warner Bros. has provided Watchmen fans with four more photos from the Zack Snyder-directed movie. These first appeared in Empire magazine.
Opening March 6, the graphic novel adaptation stars Patrick Wilson, Jackie Earle Haley, Matthew Goode, Billy Crudup, Jeffrey Dean Morgan, Malin Akerman, Carla Gugino, Stephen McHattie and Matt Frewer.
Patrick Wilson stars as Nite Owl.
Jeffrey Dean Morgan is The Comedian.
Nite Owl flirts with Silk Spectre (Malin Akerman).
Jackie Earle Haley portrays Rorschach.
With the release of High School Musical 3: Senior Year just two months away, we've uncovered a slew of photos from the movie.
Zac Efron, as basketball-playing stud Troy Bolton, is featured in most of them. We assume our female readers are okay with that.
We also need to include a High School Musical 3 spoiler warning, as a few of the following shots make the result of the Wildcats' efforts on the hardwood obvious. Click on them now for larger versions...
Rhona Mitra doesn't want to be known as a video game character any longer.
The British actress rose to fame by portraying Lara Croft from the Tomb Raider video game. As Croft, Mitra attended trade shows and participated in media events, always in character. She was considered for the big screen version of Croft - but the part eventually went to Angelina Jolie.
Since then, Mitra has enjoyed more television show success than movie success.
She appeared for a few episodes at a time on Party of Five, Boston Legal and Nip/Tuck. You might also recognize Rhona from bit roles in The Life of David Gale and The Number 23.
In 2009, Mitra is set to take on her most prominent role yet. She has the lead role in Underworld 3: The Rise of the Lycans. It opens on January 23.
Might this part do for her what the starring role in the original Underworld did for Kate Beckinsale?
Our guess is, yes, this isn't the last you'll hear of Rhona Mitra.
A few months after Katherine Heigl appeared in Knocked Up - and had her movie career sky-rocket, as a result - the ungrateful actress told Vanity Fair that she thought the movie was “a little sexist.”
Heigl went on to say that Knocked Up "paints the women as shrews, as humorless and uptight, and it paints the men as goofy, fun-loving guys. … It was hard for me to love the movie.”
Now, for the first time, someone involved with the hit comedy has spoken up about Heigl's unflattering remarks. While promoting Pineapple Express, Seth Rogen tried to temper his response to his former co-star's words. But it got harder and harder to do as the conversation went on.
"[I] thought it would have been nice if she'd said something while we were making the movie,'' Rogen said. "We don't hire actors as purely actors. We make them creative consultants basically and really get their opinions on every aspect. There's an extremely long rehearsal process solely dedicated to having those conversations so, yeah, I thought it was weird."
Katherine Heigl and Seth Rogen starred together in Knocked Up. Since then, the actress has gone on to diss the movie for no apparent reason.
Unable to refrain by getting a dig in at Heigl's main complaint - that Knocked Up somehw demeaned women - Rogen added:
"I mean, it won a Women's Image Network Award. Take that! She can take it up with them."
