Source: Zap2it. July 31 2006 In a flurry of Monday (July 31) night news, Warner Bros. officially announced the name of its "Batman Begins" sequel, as well as the casting for the film's new villain. As expected, Christopher Nolan will return to the helm for "The Dark Knight," Christian Bale's second outing as Batman and Bruce Wayne. In addition to revealing the "Dark Knight" title, Warner Bros. confirmed what has been rumored for two weeks -- that Oscar nominee Heath Ledger will play Batman's nemesis, The Joker. The unveiling of the "Brokeback Mountain" star at Gotham's grinning adversary ends a search that left nearly every Hollywood star of a certain age as a potential Joker. At various points, buzz focused on Steve Carell, Paul Bettany, Robin Williams, Sean Penn and Jude Law before Ledger was selected to follow in the footsteps of Jack Nicholson and Cesar Romero. "I'm excited to continue the story we started with Batman Begins," Nolan says. "Our challenge in casting The Joker was to find an actor who is not just extraordinarily talented but fearless. Watching Heath Ledger's interpretation of this iconic character taking on Christian Bale's Batman is going to be incredible." Ledger earned Oscar, Golden Globe, BAFTA and SAG nominations for his "Brokeback Mountain" work. His busy 2005 also included appearances in "Casanova," "Lords of Dogtown" and "The Brothers Grimm." Production on "The Dark Knight," which was written by Christopher Nolan's brother Jonathan, is expected to begin in early 2007. "Chris' unique vision is what made 'Batman Begins' such an outstanding film and we could not imagine anyone else at the helm of 'The Dark Knight,'" says Jeff Robinov, president of production for Warner Bros. "We also can't wait to see two such formidable actors as Christian and Heath face off with each other as Batman and The Joker." "Batman Begins" made $205 million domestically when it was released last summer, pulling in an additional $166 million foreign.
Source: Entertiment Wise. July 31 2006 Oscar winning actress Charlize Theron is hoping to star in a children’s film alongside her two beloved dogs Denver and Delilah. Theron is planning on producing a film that will allow her two best friends to have starring roles. An insider told ContactMusic: "Charlize has an idea for a kids' movie starring Denver and Delilah. She loves the idea of doing a kids movie and she feels her dogs have the right characters to be a part of it. “They're always with her on set so it's not as though they will be spooked by cameras and lights. She's really excited about it." Expect some cheesy flick from the talented Theron very soon… [X] Disney rethinks links with Mel Gibson Source: MSNBC. Aug 1 2006 Disney's efforts to emphasise its family-friendly brand have collided with its involvement with Mel Gibson following the actor's drunken, anti-Semitic outburst over the weekend. Disney is scheduled to release Mr Gibson's latest production, Apocalypto, in December, and to support the film about the decline of the Mayan civilization with an advertising and promotional campaign.
Source: Mercury News. Aug 1 2006 In ``Scoop,'' Woody Allen's latest film, Scarlett Johansson plays a cub newspaper reporter who teams with a bumbling magician (Allen) and the ghost of a dead journalist (Ian McShane) to catch a serial murderer. Although we can't vouch for the realism of this setup -- in our experience, dead people rarely provide good news tips -- newspaper journalists will certainly appreciate Allen's take on their profession. ``Scoop'' isn't exactly ``All the President's Men,'' but as a reporter, Johansson embodies many of the noblest qualities of the news trade. She's a Nancy Drew knockoff -- curious, creative and courageous in chasing an important story. That portrayal is consistent with a long line of cinematic print reporters. With occasional exceptions, newspaper people usually get the hero treatment in movies and TV shows. This is in sharp contrast to TV reporters, who are just as likely to be trashed. TV journalists might be prettier and better paid in real life than their ink-stained brethren and sistren, but on screen there's no contest about who comes off better. You want dogged pursuit of the truth? That's Woodward and Bernstein (Robert Redford and Dustin Hoffman) in ``All the President's Men'' (1976), or Denzel Washington in ``The Pelican Brief'' (1993). You want reporters risking their lives to learn the facts? That's ``The Killing Fields'' (1984) and ``The Year of Living Dangerously'' (1982). You want editors who won't quit in the face of corruption? That's Humphrey Bogart in ``Deadline USA'' (1952) or Jack Webb and William Conrad in ``-30-'' (1959). You want journalists whose integrity can't be compromised? Look no further than Michael Keaton's tabloid-editor character in ``The Paper'' (1994). Even Superman's alter ego is a newspaper reporter. Sure, newspaper reporters in the movies can be a cynical, tough-talking, hard-drinking bunch who aren't above cutting a few corners to get the story. (Johansson's character, for example, sleeps with two of her sources in ``Scoop.'' But all is forgiven when they expose the truth.) The reporters in ``The Front Page'' (1931) and its remake, ``His Girl Friday'' (1940), might have ethical standards they frown on in journalism school, but in the end, they free a man wrongly accused of murder and get the bad guys locked up. And what's wrong with that? TV reporters? They're not nearly as lucky. Television journalists tend to be depicted as fatuous pretty boys and girls, mostly out for career advancement. The truth? Not only can't they handle it, it's not even very important. Think of William Hurt's character in ``Broadcast News'' (1987) or Bill Murray's cynical weatherman in ``Groundhog Day'' (1993), or more recently, ``Anchorman: The Legend of Ron Burgundy'' (2004). The most devastating portrait of all might be the deranged TV newsman Howard Beale (Peter Finch) in the satirical ``Network'' (released the same year that Woodward and Bernstein were being lionized in ``All the President's Men''). TV journalists can't even get a break on TV shows about TV journalists. Ron Burgundy is but a latter-day Ted Baxter, the Olympian nitwit of ``The Mary Tyler Moore Show.'' As a general rule, when a story calls for a journalist to do something serious or important -- solve a murder, expose wrongdoing, spring an innocent man, etc. -- you can count on seeing a print reporter at the center of the story, not a TV journalist, says Joe Saltzman, a professor at the University of Southern California's Annenberg School for Communication. Saltzman, himself a former TV journalist, has done enough reporting to say this with authority. He's director of the Image of the Journalist in Popular Culture project at USC, which maintains a database of some 46,000 items (films, TV shows, books, etc.) about fictional journalists. There are, of course, exceptions to the print-vs.-TV-reporter rule. Most famously, ``Citizen Kane'' (1941) portrays its title character, a newspaperman, as ruthless and tragic (although Charles Foster Kane is a newspaper publisher, not a reporter). Last year's ``Good Night, and Good Luck'' practically puts its subject, TV newsman Edward R. Murrow, on Mount Rushmore. But Saltzman suggests that the rule holds largely because real print reporters dwell in obscurity, while viewers can see the faults and flubs of TV reporters at just about any hour of the day. This familiarity, according to Saltzman, breeds a certain contempt that translates into negative portrayals on film. [X] Pullman to play Philip K. Dick? Source: The StarOnline. Aug 1 2006 Production Weekly says that Bill Pullman is in negotiations to play science fiction author Philip K. Dick (Blade Runner, Minority Report, A Scanner Darkly) in the indie flick Panasonic. The lines between reality and perception blur in this comic journey into the life and mind (literally) of one of sci-fi's most brilliant authors. Paranoid conspiracies of the highest order, drug-fueled interdimensional shifts, and 1970's pop culture combine for the mind-bending adventure of the century. Musician Matthew Wilder, best known for his 1983 hit "Break My Stride", is set to helm the project next month.
Source: postchronicle. Aug 1 2006 Kate Beckinsale can't get enough sex with husband Len Wiseman. The actress, who has been married to the director for just over two years, claims the pair can't get enough of each other and are constantly finding different ways to keep their bedroom antics exciting. She said: "We haven't allowed ourselves to become lazy when it comes to sex and are keeping that part of our marriage very much alive. The 'Peal Harbour' actress insists the reason why the couple's sex life is so good is because Wiseman complements her every day. { 06.18.06 }
Source: Washingtonpost.com. June 12, 2006 Anthony Michael Hall, who played the awkward geek in '80s teen movies "Sixteen Candles" and "The Breakfast Club," says he doesn't try to forget his early career. "To be part of some films that people have grown up with _ it's amazing," the 38-year-old Hall told reporters recently, according to AP Radio. "I'm often stunned by it. It's actually very humbling." More than 20 years later, Hall has gone from geek to reluctant psychic as the star of USA's "The Dead Zone." The series' fifth season starts Sunday (10 p.m. EDT). He said the show cuts across many genres, even romantic comedy. "I mean, it's sci-fi to some, to others it's a supernatural drama or thriller," he said. Hall said he's matured as an actor on "The Dead Zone," and appreciates connecting to a new group of fans. An elderly woman grabbed him once and said, "`I don't know if I should touch you, but I had to touch you,'" he recalled, laughing. "I really get a lot of joy out of that." [X] Q&A with Sandra Bullock Source: jam.canoe SUN: Why didn't you marry before meeting Jesse? SANDRA: I never wanted to get married. It was a death sentence to me. SUN: What do you mean marriage was a 'death sentence'? SANDRA: How many people do you know who say they are in the 'greatest relationship ever.' It's rare. They are usually complaining about having gotten married too young and having a husband or kids who are taking their life away. I want to enjoy everything I do to the fullest and be the best of myself, so being married earlier wasn't an option. SUN: Didn't your parents want you to get married? SANDRA: I wasn't raised to have a white dress and a wedding. That wasn't the way my sister and I were raised. We were raised to have a good life and push ourselves. We were encouraged to achieve what we wanted in life and, especially, to achieve happiness. SUN: So are you saying you're happy you waited? SANDRA: One more time: I never waited. I stayed open to all possibilities and had the greatest of love experiences every step of the way. Things I may look at today as mistakes led me to right here and to my marriage. This is a wonderful thing made more wonderful because of the best things that have happened to me in other relationships. SUN: So why did you finally get married? SANDRA: Even though I was satisfied not being married, the timing was finally such that I met someone who complemented me and gave me a nice net to feel more adventurous with. He is watching my back even though I can take care of myself. SUN: Did it just feel right with Jesse? SANDRA: It was bigger than that. It was bigger than I was. It was bigger in all the right ways. SUN: How did you two meet? SANDRA: It took an eight-year-old. It took my eight-year-old godson who led me to this. I asked him what he wanted for Christmas. He asked to see a taping of Monster Garage. I had no idea what he was talking about, but that's what he wanted so that's what he got. You know the rest. SUN: How has marriage changed your views on romance and love? SANDRA: It hasn't changed me. I'm not more complete. I'm not more of a woman now that I'm married. I'm happy. Not happier than I've ever been, but very happy. SUN: Talking about waiting, why did you and Keanu wait 12 years before making another movie together? You made Speed in 1994. SANDRA: People have been telling us we should do another movie together but nothing came up until The Lake House. I didn't want to do it at first, but Paul Haggis, who directed me in Crash, told me I should do it. I respect his judgment, so I agreed to do it. SUN: Did Keanu ever tell you why he didn't do Speed 2 with you? SANDRA: He was smart back then. He had good people surrounding him at the time telling him it wasn't a good idea to do a movie called Speed 2 that was set on a boat going 10 naughts which made it look as if it was standing still. What I want to know is why Keanu didn't phone me and tell me not to do it. This is one time when silence was not golden. SUN: Back when you did Speed, you had all the MTV nominations, including Best Screen Kiss. SANDRA: Did we win. We should have won. I still remember it was a good kiss. SUN: Do you thing you two will get nominated for your kiss in The Lake House? It's pretty passionate. SANDRA: Who cares? It was great for me. I don't kiss for the masses. That's my mantra for the day. SUN: The Lake House is about love that flourishes through letters. Do you write letters? SANDRA: Yes, big time. One of the greatest gifts girlfriends of mine ever gave me was a book of letters from almost every single person I ever said that I admired or respected as an actor, director, musician, philosopher or scientist. SUN: Was that a special gift for your 40th birthday? SANDRA: I don't remember what birthday is was. It was five or six years ago. There is no magic in birthdays in my life. There are no milestones. There are no events. Every birthday has to be celebrated to its fullest, even if it is only with one person, or if it is with 20. SUN: The Lake House is about a magic mailbox that allows these people to communicate across time. If you had a magic mailbox, who would you want most to hear from? SANDRA: My mother. She passed away six years ago. I would just like to know how she is, how she's doing. Because I'm sure she's having a whole wonderful new adventure of her own. I just want to know what it's like and how she is. I just want to see her handwriting again. It was so distinctive. SUN: The Lake House is unapologetically romantic. What is your favourite romantic movie? SANDRA: Cinema Paradiso because it's not about the kind of love in which you are attracted to someone. It's about love of family, love of life, love of people who are gone, love of film and love of memories. It embodies so much love. By the end of the film, no matter how many times I see it, it reminds me of why I fell in love with this business. The movie embodies the love of life and that is what romance means to me. [X] Sean Connery receives lifetime achievement award Source: Irish Examiner. June 9 2006 Hollywood's elite paid tribute to Sean Connery, who received The American Film Institute's annual lifetime achievement award. Directors Steven Spielberg and George Lucas, and actors Harrison Ford, Andy Garcia and Mike Myers were among the stars who cheered on the legendary actor at the ceremony held at the Kodak Theatre on Thursday night. Myers wore a tuxedo jacket and a kilt to honor the Scottish actor. ``Men want to be him, women want him, and in my case I both want to be him and want him,'' Myers joked. ``He's extremely professional, very talented and has an amazingly strong presence on the screen,'' Lucas said from the red carpet. Connery thanked the audience for ``one hell of an evening.'' ``I got my big break when I was 5 years old, and it's taken more than 70 years to realize it,'' he said. ``At 5 I learned to read, and I would not be standing here without the books, plays and scripts.'' Connery was launched to stardom in the 1960s and 1970s, playing agent 007, or ``Bond, James Bond,'' as he introduced himself to foes. He also starred in ``Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade,'' ``The Hunt for Red October,'' and ``The Untouchables,'' which earned him an Oscar for best supporting actor. He is the 34th recipient of the award, the Institute's highest honor for a career in film. Past recipients include Orson Welles, Bette Davis, Alfred Hitchcock, Sidney Poitier, Elizabeth Taylor, Jack Nicholson, Steven Spielberg, Clint Eastwood, Martin Scorsese, Robert DeNiro, Meryl Streep and George Lucas. { 06.14.06 } [x] New filmographies are available on Extras: Orlando Bloom, Michael J Fox, Scarlett Johansson, Bill Murray, Paul Bettany, Tom Hanks, Naomi Watts and Rachel McAdams.
