Posted on July 14, 2011 by Benny Hollywood| Leave a comment

Evans himself presents exclusive sneak peek on MTV and MTV.com. By Kara Warner Chris Evans as Steve Rogers in “Captain America: The First Avenger” Photo: Paramount Pictures On Thursday (July 14), Captain America himself, Chris Evans, presented an exclusive new clip from his highly anticipated caped crusade “Captain America: The First Avenger” on MTV and MTV.com. The clip opens with fan-favorite actors Tommy Lee Jones and Stanley Tucci, in the roles of Colonel Chester Phillips and Dr. Abraham Erskine, walking through an Army base, watching a group of recruits in their basic-training exercises. Phillips is talking to Erskine about their new unimpressive recruit Steve Rogers (a skinny Evans, pre-super serum and superhero status), who looks to be having trouble with his jumping jacks. “When you brought a 90-pound asthmatic onto my Army base, I let it slide. I thought, ‘What the hell? Maybe he’d be useful to you like a gerbil,’ ” Phillips says to Erskine about Rogers, before stopping to watch him. “Look at that — he’s making me cry.” Phillips points out another stronger recruit jumping alongside Evans, who boasts impressive scores in every military test they’ve given him. Erskine calls him a bully, but Phillips doesn’t care. “You don’t win wars with niceness, Doctor; you win wars with guts,” he says before tossing a grenade into the group to see how they react. All the recruits scramble away to safety, except for Rogers, who jumps on the grenade himself to protect everyone else. The grenade turns out to be a dummy. “Is this a test?” Rogers asks his senior officers, after showcasing an early glimpse of the hero he is to become. “He’s still skinny,” Phillips says, seemingly unimpressed, to a smiling Erskine.

‘X-Men: First Class’ Close To Casting Alice Eve As Emma Frost

Posted on June 28, 2010 by Benny Hollywood| Leave a comment

Rosamund Pike was also rumored to be up for the role. By Eric Ditzian Alice Eve Photo: Marc Stamas/Getty Images With “X-Men: First Class” set for a summer 2011 release date, we’re at a place in the film’s development when the casting rumors sprout like weeds in the cracks on Hollywood studio lots. Just a few weeks ago, Internet whispers had it that Rosamund Pike (“Surrogates”) was up for the role of telepathic mutant Emma Frost. But now it seems Marvel has found its blond mind-reader: Alice Eve. The 24-year-old British actress had her breakout turn earlier this year in “She’s Out of My League” opposite Jay Baruchel and is now in negotiations to join the growing “X-Men” cast, according to Deadline Hollywood . MTV News’ requests for comment were not returned by Eve’s representatives as of press time. Directed by Matthew Vaughn (“Kick-Ass”), “X-Men: First Class” has already lined up Michael Fassbender (“Inglourious Basterds”) as Magneto, James McAvoy as Professor X and Benjamin Walker (“Flags of Our Fathers”) as Hank “Beast” McCoy. Eve becomes the second actress to play Frost onscreen, following Tahyna Tozzi’s turn as the character near the end of “X-Men Origins: Wolverine.” In Marvel comics, Frost was originally a villain named the White Queen, who joined up with the X-Men and became a teacher at their school for mutant children. In addition to the “X-Men” casting news, Deadline also confirms that Tommy Lee Jones will be in “Captain America.” But now we know the specific role: Colonel Chester Phillips, the supervisor of the Super Solider program. Jones joins Chris Evans, who’s playing the captain, as well as Hugo Weaving, Neal McDonough and Stanley Tucci. The film is slated for a July 2011 release, just over a month after “X-Men” drops.
