Posted on October 18, 2011 by | Leave a comment

Darren Bousman ( Repo! The Genetic Opera ) has directed three Saw movies — a fact which the trailer for next month’s horror pic 11-11-11 makes a point to tell you.

Well, except for its plot. And who’s in it. And why anyone should care. Watch the teaser and stick around for more Buzz Break.

Posted on October 18, 2011 by | Leave a comment

Writer-director J.C. Chandor isn’t traditional Verge material — a 15-year veteran of commercials, documentaries and short films whose dramatic feature debut, Margin Call features a eye-popping ensemble cast of Oscar winners (Kevin Spacey, Jeremy Irons), seasoned pros (Stanley Tucci, Demi Moore, Paul Bettany, Simon Baker) and next-generation standouts (Zachary Quinto, Penn Badgley) taking on the tale of a New York City investment bank flirting with oblivion at the dawn of the ongoing financial crisis. And thanks to both the cast and his own formidable chops, Chandor pulls it off with impressive aplomb .

Scarlett Johansson Was Too Hot for David Fincher’s ‘Pervy’ Dragon Tattoo

Posted on October 18, 2011 by | Leave a comment

David Fincher on his search for The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo ‘s Lisbeth Salander: ” Scarlett Johansson was great. It was a great audition, I’m telling you. But the thing with Scarlett is, you can’t wait for her to take her clothes off… Salander should be like E.T. If you put E.T. dolls out before anyone had seen the movie, they would say, ‘What is this little squishy thing?’ Well, you know what? When he hides under the table and he grabs the Reese’s Pieces, you love him! It has to be like that.” He eventually cast the “great weirdo” Rooney Mara for his “pervy” Americanized adaptation; read the full profile here . [ Vogue ]
