After ‘Deathly Hallows,’ Tom Felton Goes From ‘Potter’ To Primates

Posted on July 19, 2011 by Benny Hollywood| Leave a comment

Actor will hit the big screen again in next month’s ‘Rise of the Planet of the Apes,’ with a spate of big-screen parts on the horizon. By Terri Schwartz, with reporting by Kara Warner Tom Felton in “Rise of the Planet of the Apes” Photo: 20th Century Fox Tom Felton may be giving up his bleached-blond Draco Malfoy hair color , but he’s not giving up his “Harry Potter” character’s bad attitude just yet. As “Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows, Part 2” was breaking box-office records and opening to critical acclaim over the weekend, Felton was already looking forward to his first post-“Potter” film, “Rise of the Planet of the Apes,” which hits theaters on August 5. And from what he’s told MTV News about the movie’s plot, his “Apes” character has a few things in common with Draco. “My character, he works at a primate facility — I can reveal that — in which … he’s not the nicest of people looking after these lovely creatures,” Felton teased. But that’s not the only project Felton is gearing up for: He finished filming “The Apparition” last year, a thriller that also stars “Twilight” actress Ashley Greene and “Captain America: The First Avenger” actor Sebastian Stan. While “Apparition” isn’t due out until sometime in 2012, the movie is already earning some serious buzz in the online fan communities because it brings together two major movie franchises. Felton has also filmed the sports flick “From the Rough” with Taraji P. Henson and Justin Chon and director Pierre Bagley. Add to that docket two war movies: “Grace and Danger” is currently in pre-production and “Evac” is on the horizon. With films like “Rise of the Planet of the Apes” and “The Apparition” on the way, Felton seems to be positioning himself as a viable big-screen presence post-“Potter.” But he seemed genuinely surprise that the opportunity to make another big-budget movie had come so quickly after the end of “Potter.” “It was very exciting for me to go from ‘Harry Potter’ on to [‘Rise of the Planet of the Apes’],” he told MTV News. “I didn’t expect to go on to that class of set straight away, so it was hugely exciting. We had a great time making it.” Check out everything we’ve got on “Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows, Part 2.” For young Hollywood news, fashion and “Twilight” updates around the clock, visit HollywoodCrush.MTV.com .

‘Friends With Benefits’ Stars Weren’t ‘Begging To Be Naked’

Posted on July 19, 2011 by Benny Hollywood| Leave a comment

‘When I found out Mila was going to be naked, I was really sort of like, ‘Ewww, gross,’ ‘ Justin Timberlake jokes to MTV News. By Kara Warner Justin Timberlake in “Friends With Benefits” Photo: Sony Pictures In case you’ve missed them, Justin Timberlake and Mila Kunis have been involved in a few very clever promotions for their upcoming romantic comedy “Friends With Benefits.” There was their mutual groping at the MTV Movie Awards in June followed by a friendly public service announcement-style video touting the merits of a friends-with-benefits arrangement. And if those efforts haven’t already inspired you to see the film when it opens this weekend, perhaps the knowledge that the two attractive actors spend a lot of their screen time totally naked will increase a few ticket sales. Speaking about said nude scenes — of which there are several that feature a bare Timberlake bottom — the two stars admitted to MTV News that however comfortable they may be with their bodies in private, they weren’t dying to disrobe on camera. “I wasn’t begging [to be naked],” Timberlake said. “When I found out Mila was going to be naked, I was really sort of like, ‘Ewww, gross,’ ” he joked. “But I guess if that’s what it takes to make the movie, then I’ll do it.” “[You are] such a hard worker,” Kunis said, playing along with Timberlake’s joke. “You’re committed.” “I know. I am a hard worker,” Timberlake assured us. “He genuinely believes that [my being naked] was gross,” Kunis added seriously. “Shut up,” Timberlake shot back playfully. “We had a lot of fun making the movie,” he said sincerely. “[But] none of us were begging to be naked.” Check out everything we’ve got on “Friends With Benefits.” For breaking news, celebrity columns, humor and more — updated around the clock — visit MTVMoviesBlog.com .

‘Harry Potter’ Box Office: How High Will It Go?

Posted on July 18, 2011 by Benny Hollywood| Leave a comment

Film experts weigh in on how ‘Deathly Hallows, Part 2’ blockbuster finale is likely to fare in the long run. By Eric Ditzian Daniel Radcliffe in “Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows: Part 2” Photo: Warner Bros. There was little doubt that when the “Harry Potter” franchise finally came to a close after a decade-long presence at the multiplex, it would do so in epically lucrative fashion. But only when “Deathly Hallows, Part 2” actually began lighting up screens last Thursday at midnight did the true extent of its box-office power become clear: The film raked in a record $43.5 million at those early screenings and ended up shattering the three-day opening record of “The Dark Knight.” “While I assumed it would have the best ‘Harry Potter’ debut of all time, I wasn’t quite sold on the fact that it could eclipse the ‘Dark Knight’ record, as none of the previous films, although highly successful, have ever approached that staggering number, despite having one of the most rabid fanbases filmdom has ever seen,” said Jeff Bock, box-office analyst for Exhibitor Relations. “This was monumental, as it seems everyone wanted to be a part of the discussion, everyone wanted to say goodbye to dear friends, and everyone wanted to experience the magic on the big screen one more time.” But not everyone wanted that magical experience in 3-D. While “Deathly Hallows, Part 2” benefited from the largest 3-D launch ever, according to Box Office Mojo , a majority of ticket buyers choose 2-D screenings, with just 43 percent of its total gross coming from 3-D screenings (“Transformers: Dark of the Moon,” by comparison, earned 60 percent of its opening gross from 3-D showings). So, although “Deathly Hallows, Part 2” opening marks the second-biggest 3-D opening after “Alice in Wonderland,” the last “Potter” film wasn’t a 3-D must-see — it was a pop-culture must-see. But insiders hardly predicted how intense the get-out-to-the-theater urge would be. Phil Contrino, editor of Boxoffice.com, pointed at social-networking sites as the key factor that raised awareness and drove ticket sales in the days leading up to release. The franchise’s Facebook page added 870,000 new “likes” last week and Twitter registered more than 225,000 tweets in that time frame. “It clearly showed that even casual fans of the series were excited about the last installment,” he said. “You can’t break records with just die-hard fans — you have to expand the base. That’s exactly what ‘Part 2’ did.” Just don’t expect it to do what “Avatar” did. James Cameron’s sci-fi flick built slowly and stayed at the top of the box office for weeks. “Deathly Hallows, Part 2,” by contrast, experienced a hefty, 53 percent drop from Friday to Saturday, showing the film, like so many blockbusters before it, was a frontloaded theatrical event. While it will safely become the biggest movie of the summer, these wizards won’t be able to compete with Cameron’s big blue aliens, who drove “Avatar” to $2.8 billion worldwide. “While the global grosses of ‘Avatar’ and ‘Titanic’ will likely be out of reach, expect ‘Deathly Hallows, Part 2’ to become the third-highest grossing movie ever once it exits theaters, and surpasses ‘Lord of the Rings: Return of the King,’ which hauled in $1.1 billion worldwide, ” Bock said. “Harry Potter,” then, is on the verge of unseating “Star Wars” to become the most lucrative franchise in movie history. While some franchises struggle to maintain early success (see this summer’s “Transformers” and “Pirates of the Caribbean” films), “Potter” has had no such problems. The example that Warner Bros. has set with its boy wizard is one that other studios wrapping up franchises would be wise to follow. ” ‘Potter’ fans grew up and didn’t abandon the series, but that could happen with ‘Twilight,’ ” Contrino said. “You have to mature at the same pace as your audience. The ‘Potter’ series grew darker and more compelling as its audience aged. It worked perfectly.” Check out everything we’ve got on “Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows, Part 2.” For young Hollywood news, fashion and “Twilight” updates around the clock, visit HollywoodCrush.MTV.com .

‘Harry Potter And The Deathly Hallows, Part 2’: The Reviews Are In!

Posted on July 16, 2011 by Benny Hollywood| Leave a comment

The franchise finale seems to have magically transformed critics into full-blown fans. By Terri Schwartz Daniel Radcliffe in “Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows, Part 2” Photo: Warner Bros. Pictures After 10 years, “Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows, Part 2” is sending the beloved series out with a bang. Early reviews that trickled in last week pegged the movie as being the best “Harry Potter” installment. Now that the grand finale has hit theaters, “Deathly Hallows: Part 2” has solidified itself as far and away the series’ most critically beloved. Up until now, “Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban” held that title, with a score of 91 percent fresh on Rotten Tomatoes. But “Part 2” has blown that out of the water with a whopping 97 percent fresh and only five dissenters counted at press time. Read our own “Deathly Hallows, Part 2” review over on the Movies Blog, and if that and the critical praise below get you to the theaters, send us your own reviews ! The Performances “A decade later Harry (Daniel Radcliffe) and his friends, Hermione (Emma Watson) and Ron (Rupert Grint), have become powerful adult wizards, while the actors are now stars. Look closely and you can see the beard inching along Harry’s, or rather Mr. Radcliffe’s pale chin. Meanwhile Ms. Watson, smoldering in bruising dark lipstick on the cover of the July Vogue, has her own hair and makeup artist, and the director, David Yates, even trains the camera on her generous peekaboo cleavage. Just as startling is the transformation of Mr. Grint who, in one early, anxious scene wears a goatee and a panicked look that together suggest a junior Paul Giamatti. My, how the children have grown — and the movies too.” — Manohla Dargis, The New York Times Check out photos from the magical NYC premiere of “Deathly Hallows, Part 2.” The Split “Splitting the final ‘Potter’ volume into two films was also to the advantage of Part 2, as was the fact that this film deals only with roughly the final third of the book. This enables it to avoid the tiresome teen angst that hampered Part 1 and devote almost all its time to action and confrontation, starting with the film’s initial image of the dread Voldemort (Ralph Fiennes) pointing the all-powerful Elder Wand to the sky and creating … the Warner Bros. logo. Once this bit of business is out of the way, the plot kicks in with a vengeance.” — Kenneth Turan, The Los Angeles Times The Conclusion of the Series “So many good films come to bad ends, but not the tales of Harry Potter. The final episode of Harry’s epic journey, part 2 of ‘The Deathly Hallows,’ is the best possible end for the series that began a decade ago. In contrast to part 1, which was a ponderous exercise in stage-setting and dramatic incipience, this film, directed by David Yates and adapted by Steve Kloves, is a climax worthy of the term. It’s a dark and thunderous pageant that sets its bespectacled hero in the midst of vast forces, yet never loses track of who he is — a brave boy, to borrow both parts of Dumbledore’s fond phrase, on the way to becoming a wonderful man.” — Joe Morgenstern, The Wall Street Journal The Farewell Factor “Nothing quite like this series has ever been tried before in cinema history, and as I wrote last year, following the central trio of Radcliffe, Grint and Watson through the aging process has itself forced the movies to confront Rowling’s central themes, which I take to be ‘the painful transition from childhood to adulthood, the loss of parents and loved ones, the first intimations of personal mortality.’ For better or worse, Rowling’s books and the hit-and-miss movies based on them have reshaped not just the marketplace for fiction and film but the contemporary cultural imagination, re-establishing fantasy as the central narrative mode (arguably for the first time since the Middle Ages).” — Andrew O’Hehir, Salon.com The Final Word “This movie is impressively staged, the dialogue is given proper weight and not hurried through, there are surprises which, in hindsight, seem fair enough, and ‘Harry Potter’ now possesses an end that befits the most profitable series in movie history. These films will be around for a long time.” — Roger Ebert, The Chicago Sun-Times Check out everything we’ve got on “Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows, Part 2.” For young Hollywood news, fashion and “Twilight” updates around the clock, visit HollywoodCrush.MTV.com .

‘Boyz N The Hood’ A ‘Coming-Of-Age Story,’ John Singleton Says

Posted on July 15, 2011 by Benny Hollywood| Leave a comment

‘I knew Ice Cube was a movie star before he knew he was a movie star,’ director tells MTV News. By Rob Markman, with reporting by Vanessa WhiteWolf Ice Cube in “Boyz N The Hood” in 1991 Photo: MTV News When John Singleton wrote and directed his 1991 film “Boyz n the Hood,” there was no grandiose cinematic inspiration or abstract muse. Instead, the Los Angeles native just wrote about what he knew best. “My biggest influence for making the film was my friends, my friends growing up, and how Los Angeles was in the ’80s and ’90s,” Singleton told MTV News. “None of the movies that we saw growing up had anybody, any characters in them that were like us. So we were like, ‘We should make a movie about what we go through, about what we see.’ ” Released on July 12, 1991, “Boyz n the Hood” was nominated for two Academy Awards and is hailed as a classic 20 years later. On July 19, the film will be re-released in Blu-ray. The movie’s impact doesn’t seem to surprise Singleton much; he kind of always knew things would turn out this way. “I was like, ‘Wow if I can get this in a film, a little bit of what this is, that life on film, then I think I’ll have something that will have a hard effect on people,’ ” he recalled. The film, starring Ice Cube, Cuba Gooding Jr., Morris Chestnut and Laurence Fishburne, is set in South Central, Los Angeles, a California neighborhood notorious for gang violence. At the center of the film is Tre Styles (Gooding Jr.), who tries to balance his father’s (Fishburne) life lessons with the harsh realities of the ‘hood in which he lived. Then there are half-brothers Doughboy (Cube) and Ricky Baker (Chestnut), two characters who couldn’t be more different. Doughboy, a stone-cold gangster, has street respect but very few prospects. His brother Ricky, however, is a young father and a star high school football player fielding sports scholarships from multiple colleges. In the end, Ricky’s bright future is brought to a dark close when he’s gunned down in an alleyway. Noted for its social message, “Boyz n the Hood” also marked the acting debut of rapper Ice Cube , who has gone on to star in movies like “Friday” with comedian Chris Tucker and “Anaconda” alongside Jennifer Lopez. Cube has also written, directed and produced a number of films as well. “I knew Ice Cube was a movie star before he knew he was a movie star,” Singleton said. “He just embodied that role and did a great job.” In fact, the director had a vision — not just for Cube, but for all the members of his former group as well. “The script was originally written for all of N.W.A. The character Doughboy was always meant for Ice Cube, but the whole script was written for all of the N.W.A guys to be in it,” Singleton revealed. Unfortunately, the casting didn’t go as planned, and years later, Dr. Dre expressed a bit of regret. “It’s funny, because when I told Dre that later on, he said, ‘Man, if you got any great ideas, you come to me again, you come to me,’ ” Singleton said with a chuckle. When asked why he thought the film holds up after 20 years, John Singleton offered this: “I think people are still talking about ‘Boyz n the Hood’ because it’s part of who they are. Even if they’re not from that environment, they really identify with those characters. Ultimately, the movie is kind of like a teenage story, it’s a teenage coming-of-age movie. People watch that movie and say, ‘Wow, look at the journey of these characters,’ and then they think about their own journey.” Check out everything we’ve got on “Boyz n the Hood.” For breaking news, celebrity columns, humor and more — updated around the clock — visit MTVMoviesBlog.com .

‘Harry Potter’ Expected To Smash Box-Office Records

Posted on July 15, 2011 by Benny Hollywood| Leave a comment

‘Deathly Hallows, Part 2’ could break $158.4 million opening-weekend record of ‘The Dark Knight.’ By Gil Kaufman Daniel Radcliffe and Ralph Finnes in “Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows, Part 2” Photo: Warner Bros. It takes a powerful wizard to defeat “The Dark Knight,” but based on early media reports, all indications are that the final episode in the onscreen Harry Potter saga, “Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows, Part 2,” is on track to beat the $158.4 million opening-weekend record set by “The Dark Knight” in 2008. Thanks to a combination of breathless, nostalgic anticipation for the last installment in the series, a raft of sold-out midnight screenings on Thursday and higher ticket prices for the first 3-D installment in the $6 billion franchise, experts are predicting that a series of records could fall by Sunday. According to the Los Angeles Times , thanks to 10,000 midnight screenings on Friday (July 15) and nearly sold-out IMAX shows through Saturday, the movie had already rolled up an estimated $45 million box office by Thursday before the doors had opened for a single showing. To put that into perspective, that’s a shade under the $53 million that “Green Lantern” made over the course of its entire opening-weekend last month. “Potter” is opening in 4,575 theaters in the U.S. and Canada, and Deadline Hollywood predicted that based on the early tracking, it could smash the “Dark Knight” high-water mark and possibly reach $180 million in opening-weekend grosses. Another record almost sure to crumble is the biggest single day ever, which was set by “The Twilight Saga: New Moon,” which pulled in $72 million, a figure that could be eclipsed (pun intended) by an estimated $80 million that “Hallows” is projected to collect between the $40 million in midnight screenings and an additional $40 million on Friday. Look for “Hallows” to also take the biggest foreign opening-weekend crown, a record recently set by “Pirates of the Caribbean: On Stranger Tides,” which boosted $260 million earlier this summer. “Potter” studio Warner Bros. expects the film to smash that figure, though it’s unclear if it will be able to beat the worldwide seven-day opening-gross mark set by “Transformers: Dark of the Moon,” which raked in $402 million in its first week in June. A good sign, though, is that “Hallows” has already broken records Down Under. The Hollywood Reporter noted that following its midnight opening on Wednesday, it took in more than $7.4 million in its first 24 hours in Australia, smashing the previous mark of nearly $1.8 million in the first 24 hours for “Lord of the Rings: Return of the King.” Check out everything we’ve got on “Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows, Part 2.” For breaking news, celebrity columns, humor and more — updated around the clock — visit MTVMoviesBlog.com .

‘Boyz N The Hood’ Stars Hailed ‘Classic Movie’ Back In 1991

Posted on July 14, 2011 by Benny Hollywood| Leave a comment

MTV News looks back on our interview with the all-star cast and director as the South Central L.A. tale was hitting theaters 20 years ago. By Rob Markman Ice Cube in “Boyz N The Hood” Photo: Columbia Pictures In a 1991 interview with MTV News to promote the just-released “Boyz N the Hood,” Laurence Fishburne seemed to know what kind of impact the coming-of-age story would have. “John Singleton has made a classic movie,” the actor said. Twenty years later, fans are still singing its praises. This past Tuesday, “Boyz N the Hood” celebrated its 20-year anniversary , and on July 19, the film will be re-released in Blu-ray format. The film, starring Ice Cube, Cuba Gooding Jr., Morris Chestnut and Laurence Fishburne, is set in South Central, Los Angeles, a California neighborhood notorious for gang violence. At the center of the film is Tre Styles (Gooding Jr.), who tries to balance his father’s (Fishburne) life lessons with the harsh realities of the ‘hood in which he lived. Then there are half-brothers Doughboy (Cube) and Ricky Baker (Chestnut), two characters who couldn’t be more different. Doughboy, a stone-cold gangster, has street respect but very few prospects. His brother Ricky, however, is a young father and a star high school football player fielding sports scholarships from multiple colleges. In the end, Ricky’s bright future is brought to a dark close when he’s gunned down in an alleyway. “Well, this is the film that I initially went to film school to make,” director Singleton explained to MTV News in the same 1991 interview, days after the film hit theaters. “I had never seen films that reflected where I was coming from growing up in L.A.” “There are so many messages in the film, but if they go and take one message away, it’s to keep the love in the family. As long as the love is circulating around, it’ll be OK,” Gooding Jr. said. “It’s a new kind of perspective,” Fishburne added. Even Cube, who made his Hollywood debut in “Boyz N the Hood,” knew back then that the movie would be impactful. “I think we got a real good film. Just to show black people on the screen being people and not just images, as far as not a sports player or a hat and a gun,” he said. “You fall in love with these characters, and it’s real deep when something happens to them.” And that’s why 20 years later, we’re still watching.

‘Harry Potter’ Stars Felt ‘Weird’ During Epilogue Scene

Posted on July 14, 2011 by Benny Hollywood| Leave a comment

‘The images of me still haunt me,’ Rupert Grint tells MTV News of his flash-forward makeup. By Terri Schwartz, with reporting by Josh Horowitz Daniel Radcliffe, Rupert Grint and Emma Watson in “Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows, Part 2” Photo: Warner Bros. Though the story of “Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows, Part 2” ends with Harry’s battle against Voldemort, the real goodbye to the franchise comes through an epilogue sequence at the end of the movie. It’s a scene MTV has been talking to the cast of the “Harry Potter” films about for many years, especially after the creative heads decided to age the stars using makeup instead of cast a new set of actors. Now that the film is less than 24 hours away from being released, the stars were ready to open up about how they felt about the final “Harry Potter” scene. “With the way it ends, it definitely got balanced right, it was believable, but it was a weird scene to film,” Rupert Grint told MTV News. The actor better known as Ron Weasley had to shoot the epilogue sequence twice after director David Yates decided that the first attempt didn’t work as well. In the scene that is used in “Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows, Part 2,” Ron has gained a pot belly and some stubble, but the first version also featured a serious receding hairline and some unflattering jowls. “The images of me still haunt me,” Grint admitted with a traumatized look on his face. “It was like this monster Donald Trump kind of mixture. It was scary.” His co-star Tom Felton agreed that Grint had not looked particularly attractive the first time, but he wasn’t entirely happy with how his character, Draco Malfoy, turned out either. His real-life girlfriend, Jade Olivia, played his onscreen wife in the sequence and he got to wear a muscle suit — “It was quite cool, I felt quite ripped” — but despite his “lovely goatee” and longer hairstyle, Felton wasn’t entirely satisfied with the results. Unfortunately for the “Rise of the Planet of the Apes” star, he and Olivia “nailed it” the first time, and thus weren’t called back for reshoots. “They were pretty cruel, don’t you think?” Felton asked. “Nineteen years, they were supposed to base it on Jason Isaacs! I look like Jason Isaacs’ dad! I mean, come on.” Check out everything we’ve got on “Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows, Part 2.” For breaking news, celebrity columns, humor and more — updated around the clock — visit MTVMoviesBlog.com .
