Black Swan Ballerina Says Natalie Portman Basically Didn’t Dance

Posted on March 25, 2011 by | Leave a comment

I was almost positive we’d never have to talk about awful-ass Black Swan again, but here comes a kick-ass, scorned ballerina with a tale to tell: Sarah Lane, a 27-year-old American Ballet Theater soloist who worked as a body double on Black Swan , tells EW that there’s a “cover-up” to prevent people from knowing she performed 95% of the cygnet moves in the movie. Now, I can’t guarantee that Sarah isn’t wearing black wings and circling her house right now like a crazed Sean Young type, but her quotes sound legitimate.

Before you check out Zack Snyder’s action-packed flick, learn how it came to be. By Kara Warner Emily Browning in “Sucker Punch” Photo: Warner Bros./ Legendary Pictures Way back in October 2008, amid the buzz surrounding Zack Snyder’s big-screen adaptation of “Watchmen,” news broke about plans for his next project, an original screenplay penned by Snyder and Steve Shibuya called “Sucker Punch,” billed simply as “Alice in Wonderland with machine guns.” For Snyder’s devoted fanbase, that descriptor was enough to set minds speculating and Internets buzzing for well over two years. Naturally, MTV News has been following the project from conception to opening day Friday (March 25). Here’s everything you need to know about “Sucker Punch”: First, in addition to the “Alice in Wonderland with machine guns” tease, the initial logline announced that the plot revolved around “a young girl institutionalized by her wicked stepfather.

Posted on March 25, 2011 by | Leave a comment

Even if you despise the films of Lars von Trier, the fact that he’s made a new film is still noteworthy, if only for the fact that it means we’ll be seeing more ridiculous quotes in the press from the self-proclaimed best film director in the world . Apologies to James Franco, but von Trier is still the king of turning press releases and interviews into deadpan performance art pieces. In his most recent interview, he teases a potential new project and imparts sage wisdom from his producer about how to keep films commercial.

Is Drew Barrymore to Blame for Mediocre Radiohead Album?

Posted on March 23, 2011 by | Leave a comment

Drew Barrymore might be on a career roll lately — her winning turn in Going the Distance was the best part of that film; Whip It was a fantastic directorial debut — but is she responsible for the disappointment that is Radiohead’s newest album ? In the liner notes for The King of Limbs the band randomly offers a “big thank you” to Barrymore, which may have something to do with fan speculation that she let them use her Los Angeles home to record the album. Or maybe they just loved Whip It too. [ NME ]
