Help Movieline Caption the First Images of January Jones in X-Men: First Class

Posted on September 8, 2010 by | Leave a comment

Now that Betty Draper has been reduced to a constantly frowning plot device during this season of Mad Men , it stand to reason that Emmy-nominated star January Jones would want to branch out a bit and ply her trade on the big screen in a big, fun comic book movie. However, if the first images of Jones as Emma Frost on the set of next summer’s X-Men: First Class are any indication, she didn’t stray very far from her Mad Men wheelhouse. Here are some caption-ready photos of Jones in various stages of high-hatted misery.

Clint Eastwood Was Offered James Bond and Superman But Held Out for Another Superhero

Posted on September 8, 2010 by | Leave a comment

And to think, James Bond fans went apoplectic when Daniel Craig was initially cast as 007 because he was blonde . Quintessential American Clint Eastwood has revealed that following Sean Connery’s exit from the Bond series in the ’60s, he was asked to take over as the suave MI:6 agent. This, years after he was also asked to play Superman on the big screen. So why didn’t this Hollywood icon become even more iconic? He knew better.

Ellen DeGeneres Cameos in Broadway’s Promises, Promises

Posted on September 8, 2010 by | Leave a comment

After her jive-stepping cameo on the So You Think You Can Dance finale last month and a Top Ten list appearance with David Letterman yesterday , Ellen DeGeneres made her surprise Broadway debut as the nurse in Promises, Promises last night. The woman loves cameos! At this rate, we’ll surely see her in the live 30 Rock episode in one of Liz Lemon’s sedative-induced dream sequences. [ People ]

Academy: Jean-Luc Godard Will Accept His Oscar

Posted on September 8, 2010 by | Leave a comment

This is just getting ridiculous: AMPAS issued a statement late Tuesday announcing that stroppy New Wave pioneer Jean-Luc Godard had not only sent a handwritten reply to news of his honorary Oscar win, but an acknowledgment that “schedule permitting, he would come to Los Angeles for the November 13 Governors Awards event.” Schedule permitting! Who’s he kidding? He probably booked that day for Hyundai maintenance weeks ago. [ Deadline ]

Posted on September 7, 2010 by | Leave a comment

I know it’s probably a little hard for you to get going this morning after your three-day farewell to summer, but admit it: It’s nice to have finally made it out of that awful season’s news wasteland and into a richer, more dynamic atmosphere of breaking developments and heavy-hitting trends. Take John Travolta and Kelly Preston’s recent trip to The Wizarding World of Harry Potter in Orlando. No, really — take it . I don’t want it.

James Franco’s Saturday Night Live Documentary Gets Distributor, Release Date

Posted on September 7, 2010 by | Leave a comment

Briefly mentioned at the top of THR ‘s, um, enlightening interview with James Franco — “I do masturbate a lot,” offers the 127 Hours star — is news that his Saturday Night Live documentary, Saturday Night , has found a distributor. Franco says Oscilloscope has bought the film with eyes toward a limited February release. Having been one of the hundreds turned away from the Tribeca screening this past May , consider me quite excited. [ THR /Risky Business ]

Postcard from Venice: On John Woo, Tsui Hark and the Glorious Nuttiness of Detective Dee

Posted on September 5, 2010 by | Leave a comment

Two nights ago here in Venice, John Woo received a Golden Lion lifetime-achievement award, which may not mean much to people who have seen only his American movies. In fact, while waiting in line for a screening the other day, I heard one badge-holder (speaking English with an English accent) explaining to another who he is. I would have thought anyone in the world who’d managed to get accreditation to a major film festival would know John Woo, but apparently not.
