Ralph Fiennes Hates Twitter, Is Kinda Right

Posted on October 28, 2011 by | Leave a comment

Ralph Fiennes, honored at the BFI London Film Festival awards for his directorial debut — the Shakespeare adaptation Coriolanus — does not think in sound bites of 140 words or less. ‘We’re in a world of truncated sentences, soundbites and Twitter… [Language] is being eroded — it’s changing. Our expressiveness and our ease with some words is being diluted so that the sentence with more than one clause is a problem for us, and the word of more than two syllables is a problem for us.” So hey, kids — go see Coriolanus next January and expand your (five syllables!) vo-ca-bu-la-ry!

Stephen Moyer on His Double Jail Time, True Blood’s Camera Tricks and the Reason He Won’t Do a Rom-Com

Posted on October 28, 2011 by | Leave a comment

American audiences came to love English actor Stephen Moyer as sexy, small-town vampire Bill Compton on HBO’ s hit show True Blood . But when the award-winning Alan Ball series goes on hiatus — as it is now between its fourth and fifth seasons — the accomplished stage actor fits in as many film projects as he can. The latest being The Double , Michael Brand’s directorial debut which co-stars Moyer as a Soviet psychopath assassin who is locked behind bars with only a gruesome facial scar and a secret — a secret that Richard Gere and Topher Grace try to wheedle out of him as they investigate the murder of a senator in this political thriller.

Posted on October 28, 2011 by | Leave a comment

Please hold your ironic responses like Sex and the City 2 and Under the Cherry Moon , because we’ll get to that prompt later this weekend. As we approach another Halloween full of mediocre scares like vampires, ghouls, and Braeburn apples outfitted with razor blades, it’s time we get definitive about the most chilling Halloween treats — les films d’horreur , of course. You can only pick one: What’s the single scariest movie ever?

How About Brett Ratner Just Makes Beverly Hills Witch and Calls it Even?

Posted on October 28, 2011 by | Leave a comment

We established long ago, well before Tower Heist was greenlit, that sorting out the many irons in Brett Ratner’s directorial fire is something of a fool’s errand . New projects seem to come and go from the filmmaker’s slate every day, with a few priority projects like Beverly Hills Cop IV hang on for dear life (their stars’ disinterest notwithstanding). And now you can add another “dream project” to the list.

Johnny Depp, Bruce Robinson, and Co. Exalt Hunter S. Thompson While Talking The Rum Diary

Posted on October 28, 2011 by | Leave a comment

“They’ve given us a special dispensation… to have lung cancer.” So quipped director Bruce Robinson, joining Johnny Depp and the assembled cast of this weekend’s Hunter S. Thompson adaptation The Rum Diary for a late morning presser the other week at the swanky Four Seasons in Beverly Hills. Things kicked things off, appropriately enough, with a cloud of cigar smoke that hung in the air like the ghost of Thompson himself — whom Robinson insisted was in the room, watching the entire proceedings.

Let’s Hear Your #RejectedPeanutsSpecials!

Posted on October 28, 2011 by | Leave a comment

I think of Charlie Brown as a movie star since some of his best work is in full-length features like Snoopy, Come Home and Race for Your Life, Charlie Brown . Now I can also call him a Twitter phenomenon since he’s subject of the joke meme #RejectedPeanutsSpecials. We love that hashtag so much that we’re contributing a bunch of our own ideas after the jump. The Great Pumpkin has never been scarier.

About the Time the Twilight Cast Broke Into a Flash Mob Dance Battle on the Set of Breaking Dawn…

Posted on October 28, 2011 by | Leave a comment

Bill Condon rang Movieline today for a special early chat about The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn Part One , and while the full interview will post this weekend, we’ve got a snippet to whet your appetite. Between talk of vampire weddings and critical expectations and such, Condon shared a particularly fond memory of the time when, during filming of an epic battle scene from the simultaneously-filmed Breaking Dawn Part Two , the guy from The Fall led his entire cast in an impromptu flash mob dance-off to the sounds of the Eurythmics. Hear the tale after the jump!

Right-Winger Mostly Succeeds in Complimenting Sean Penn

Posted on October 28, 2011 by | Leave a comment

“Sean Penn is an outstanding director and I’m betting he gets the best performance we’ve seen from Robert De Niro in 15 years. Watching De Niro overact in the tradition of his pal Al Pacino has been more than a little heartbreaking. But Penn was able to direct scenery-chewer Jack Nicholson into one of his best performances in The Pledge , a near-masterpiece everyone should see regardless of your personal feelings about Penn. No doubt, Sean Penn is an asshole, but he’s an asshole capable of telling superb, character-driven stories that stay with you long after the lights come up.” Well, it’s something . [ Big Hollywood ]

9 Milestones in the Evolution of Antonio Banderas

Posted on October 28, 2011 by | Leave a comment

In this weekend’s Puss in Boots , Antonio Banderas voices the swashbuckling title cat — a peripheral Shrek character who became so popular that he earned his own $130 million DreamWorks prequel. So just how did Antonio Banderas transform himself from Madonna’s sexual prey in Truth or Dare to a sword-wielding predator in both live-action and animated formats?
