Is Leslie Mann the New Madeline Kahn?

Posted on August 2, 2011 by | Leave a comment

During yesterday’s discussion of the new Funny Girl , Lea Michele, and Barbra Streisand, we took a look back at Babs’ hilarious 1972 comedy What’s Up, Doc? and wondered who is 2011’s equivalent of Madeline Kahn. How foolish we were. The answer is not Jayma Mays or Ari Graynor, but rib-tickling Change-Up star Leslie Mann. It’s a relief to finally get this right. Join Movieline ahead to compare Mann and Kahn’s filmographies, characters, and penchant for cray-cray.

Rupert Grint Got His Harry Potter Part the Hard Way

Posted on July 18, 2011 by | Leave a comment

Ah, memories: “I was a fish in Noah’s ark in the school play, and now I’m in Harry Potter. It’s a big step. I first found out about the auditions in Newsround. They said to send in some information about yourself and a photograph. So I sent one in and waited weeks and weeks and weeks, and nothing happened. I really wanted this part because I was the biggest Harry Potter fan at the time. I went on the website of Newsround, and some of the kids had been sending in videotapes of themselves reading from the book. So I made a videotape. First, I dressed up as my drama teacher, who’s a girl, so that was kind of scary. Then I made this rap song of how much I wanted to be in the film.” [ Moviefone ]

Kevin Costner In Talks for Sadistic Baddie in Django Unchained

Posted on July 18, 2011 by | Leave a comment

It wouldn’t be a Quentin Tarantino film without some kind of reclamation project (see: John Travolta, Robert Forster, Pam Grier, David Carradine, Michael Parks), and so Django Unchained finally feels complete. Deadline reports that Kevin Costner is in talks to play the villainous sidekick of Leonardo DiCaprio in QT’ s latest genre potboiler, a role that goes wildly against Costner’s all-American wolf-dancing ’90s-era type.
