Jeremy Renner is the latest true star to go off on Kim Kardashian and her family. First, Daniel Craig referred to the Kardashians as ” f-cking idiots .” Then, of course, it was Jon Hamm’s turn to slam Kim in particular . More recently, – in a wide-ranging interview with The Guardian that delves into the impressive path this Oscar nominee has traveled – Renner was asked about The First Family of Reality Television and held nothing back in his response: He referred to Kim, Khloe and company as “those ridiculous people with zero talent who spend their lives making sure everyone knows their name. Those stupid, stupid people.” Renner is enjoying a tremendous 2012, having starred in mega hits such as The Avengers and The Bourne Legacy . But we think this is his best move yet.
Prepare yourselves for a new Skyfall trailer , James Bond fans. The 23rd installment in this beloved, long-running franchise will be released on November 7 and, this just in: Daniel Craig will be shirtless in it!

James Bond added another leading lady under his belt after he teamed up with none other than Queen Elizabeth II in a sketch for the opening night of the Olympics in London (with what looked like Her Majesty jumping out of a plane with the eternal superstar agent). Most certainly not quite how it happened, but nevertheless a significant royal boost for 007 ahead of his next adventure. The new international trailer of Skyfall promises more action and intrigue – and of course he’s once again ready for the fight, tux in tow. Daniel Craig returns once again crisply dressed, heading to exotic locations and facing up to eccentric bad guys and of course finding romance along the way with beautiful women. Skyfall also stars Daniel Craig, Ralph Fiennes, Javier Bardem, Ben Whishaw, Helen McCrory and Judi Dench. Bardem takes his turn playing Bond’s nemesis and even sports a blond-do. The film opens in November in the States. Official synopsis: Daniel Craig is back as Ian Fleming’s James Bond 007 in Skyfall , the 23rd adventure in the longest-running film franchise of all time. In Skyfall , Bond’s loyalty to M is tested as her past comes back to haunt her. As MI6 comes under attack, 007 must track down and destroy the threat, no matter how personal the cost.

Accompanying Her Majesty the Queen , James Bond — AKA Daniel Craig — sported a bemused expression in the cheeky sky-diving promo that kicked off the 2012 Summer Olympics in London yesterday. But later in the telecast, Bond fans got another treat: A brief but potent new TV spot teasing November’s Sam Mendes-directed Skyfall with glimpses of 007 in action, both in the field and with a few gorgeous ladies. Clocking in around half a minute, the new Skyfall TV spot keeps things short, sweet, and action-packed; the only line heard is Craig’s steely “007, reporting for duty.” There’s something for every kind of Bond fan here: car porn, gun porn, seductive femme fatales, exotic locales, Bond striding confidently through a shootout, a fleeting look at blond-haired baddie Javier Bardem, explosions, motorcyle stunts, and various intrigue. That said, it’s a deceptively simple shot of the bespoke Bond adjusting his cufflinks after sticking a train car leap that tantalizes the most. Let’s hope Skyfall has even a fraction of this swagger, savvy pacing, and steely energy of this ridiculously short sneak peek.
The 2012 Summer Olympics kicked off in grand style last night, as a $42 million Opening Ceremony featured The Queen as a James Bond Girl, Rowan Atkinson as Mr. Bean and a whole lot more.
If Queen Elizabeth ever tires of the throne, she has a future in acting. Filmmaker Danny Boyle, who directed an inspired and beautifully surreal opening ceremony for the XXX Olympiad in London, told NBC’s Meredith Vieira that the Royal was “a good actor” for her pre-recorded segment with current James Bond Daniel Craig . “She was very gracious in giving us access,” Boyle told Vieira when she asked him how he managed to get the Queen to participate in what is proving to be the most talked-about portion of his Isles of Wonder production. “She’s very sharp,” Boyle told Vieira. “You didn’t have to tell her anything twice.” Boyle also noted that “Her and James Bond got along very well” and that Craig — who collected the queen for a helicopter ride that resulted in the duo’s stunt doubles parachuting into Olympic Stadium — gave an extremely nuanced glance as Elizabeth passed him in one scene that registered the momentous melding of fact and fiction. “Sleight, surreal, eccentricity. That’s what we’re good at, really,” Boyle told Vieira of his movie-making imprint on the London games. We have to agree. Follow Frank DiGiacomo on Twitter . Follow Movieline on
Daniel Craig was at Her Majesty’s Service for the opening ceremony of the London Olympics. The James Bond franchise’s latest 007 appeared with Queen Elizabeth and her Corgis in a pre-recorded skit that had the secret agent and the queen meeting in Buckingham Palace. London’s Mail Online reports that the Queen told Craig, “Good evening, Mr. Bond,” before accompanying him on a helicopter ride to Olympic Stadium with the secret agent at the aircraft’s controls. The film then gave way to real life as their stunt doubles sailed into Olympic Stadium beneath Union Jack chutes, eliciting gasps from the crowd. After touchdown, the real Queen, her hair strategically mussed, then reappeared to take her place in the royal box. Although, sadly, no Rage-virus-infected zombies showed up to spike the adrenaline levels of the gathered athletes, the ceremony’s director Danny Boyle didn’t completely ignore his darker instincts for the presentation, which was entitled Isles of Wonder . The Child Catcher from Chitty Chitty Bang Bang put in an appearance and Harry Potter baddie Lord Voldemort menaced in the form of a giant inflatable that was reminiscent of Pink Floyd’s The Wall concert tour. Fortunately, a small army of approximately 30 Mary Poppinses swooped down into the stadium on umbrellas to save the day. That’s a weird act for the athletes to follow.

“Why did I put all my money into this? Is this going to work? God, do you hear me? Where are the people? I’m so scared. How will I pay these people? Why did I do this? I can’t pay my rent, they are going to repossess my car. The year was 1992, July 8th-12th. All these questions were crowding my mind. I was a 22-year old wannabe… but what I wanted to be I didn’t know.” Relax, Tyler Perry — you’ve spoken to Movieline ! You’ve made it! All downhill from here. [ TylerPerry.com ]
There could be a new cold-blooded young buck waiting in the wings to play 007 if and when Daniel Craig is over his stint in the role. Heartthrob Robert Pattinson is eyeing the future post- Twilight and has dabbled recently with roles in Bel Ami (which didn’t do so spectacularly at the box office) and Cosmopolis which opens in the U.S. next month, but failed to whip up a frenzy in Canada where it opened last month. Still, the dashing actor packs some fan-base mojo and James Bond could be a place down the line and the actor has taken a peek. He told British paper The Sun that he’d like to play the character that the likes of Pierce Brosnan, Timothy Dalton, Roger Moore and Sean Connery have traversed before, though he said he’d have to wait until he’s in his 40s. “Yeah, I’d definitely like to go for Bond, but in more like 20 years,” said 26 year-old Pattinson. “There’d be nothing worse than, like, ‘let’s get a fresh-faced Bond.’ That would be the worst idea in the world. It would be ridiculous to reinvent it as some young posh kid.” He paid tribute to the current reigning Bond, noting, “After Daniel Craig, you have to have some baggage. I’d have to be tortured in the first few scenes. I’d have to do the first film with one arm or something.” Apparently, the actor is even looking to do a series of Bonds… But with two decades to go, Pattinson will have time to get into 007 shape, which he admitted is not quite up to par (though his loyal fans may disagree). “I’ve got to make up for 10 years of living like a degenerate. I’ve suddenly become conscious of being unhealthy,” he said. “You’ve spent every bit of free time since the age of 15 in a pub. And suddenly you’re like, ‘Oh God, I don’t want to be this grey ghost sitting there with a pot belly.’ I’ve got to get it together.” [Source: The Sun ]
