Creepy Shadow Monsters Attack in the Vanishing on 7th Street Trailer

Like many other characters before him, Hayden Christensen walks out one day (presumably onto 7th street) to find his city completely abandoned. Maybe he’s seen 28 Days Later or I am Legend , and feels prepared for the situation and even a bit bored with it at first. I sure did. But then the situation gets more ominous, and soon he finds out he’s not dealing with vampires, zombies or even vampire-zombies, but with merciless shadow monsters.

Roman Polanski Reaps Big Rewards At European Film Awards

If there’s one thing Europe loves even more than a charismatic dictator, it’s a convicted sex offender on the lam. Yes, Roman Polanski’s Ghost Writer was the big winner at the European Film Awards last night, nabbing the statue for Best Director, Best Actor (for Ewan McGregor), Best Screenplay and Best Picture, among other accolades. But even though I mock, truth be told, The Ghost Writer is an excellent movie and it’s a bit of shame that it didn’t make a bigger impact over here. A full list of the winners after the break.[ Deadline ]

Rooney Mara and Her Nipple Ring Could Apparently Use a Break

Girl With the Dragon Tattoo star Rooney Mara broke her silence from the Stockholm set with what will no doubt go down as the Great Nipple Ring Communiqué of 2010: “It’s -9 degrees Celsius. 37 takes down, only about 42 more to go. Every time [David Fincher] says, ‘Okay, last one,’ I fall for it. Every. Single. Time. If only I could get this damn shrug right, then maybe I could go inside and my nipple ring would have time to thaw out…” Hmm. Well, lob her into the front of the Oscar ’11 pack, what’s the harm?

Josh Duhamel’s Google News Alert is blowing up today. The Life as We Know It star was booted off a plane in New York on Thursday because he wouldn’t stop texting after the cabin doors were closed.

Reps for the actor say he’s “sorry.” Aren’t we all, Josh. Aren’t we all. [ TMZ via Badass Digest ]
