Julia Roberts and Tom Hanks should really star in every movie together. Aside from their talent, the mega-stars have incredible chemistry together, on-screen and off-screen. Last night, in order to promote Larry Crowne , the duo appeared on The Late Show with David Letterman . But they did more than just chat. They played The Newlywed Game! Does Julia know Tom’s middle name, or his favorite Julia Roberts film? Watch and find out now! Tom Hanks and Julia Roberts on The Late Show
Fourth of July Weekend is upon us, which means Movieline’s Dept. of Box-Office Forensics has broken out its holiday formulas for our customary run through the week’s new releases. And with one already out and two in the offing — plus a bottleneck of June releases showing off their staying power — it’s a tough one to predict. But let us persevere — to the Forecast!
When the trailer for The Adventures of Tintin was released online last month, it was met with some push-back from Steven Spielberg fans because of its Zemeckis-y tumble into the uncanny valley. Good thing, then, that Spielberg has another December release lined up to please his many devotees: the motion capture-free War Horse . The first trailer for the World War I drama about a boy (Jeremy Irvine) and his horse has arrived online, and you might want to bring a tissue to watch it ahead.
Before you watch Tom Hanks cling to Julia Roberts and a deplorable moped in Larry Crowne this weekend, please take a moment to remember when he clung to Sally Field and a mic stand in the 1988 riot of confusion called Punchline . It’s about standup comedy. Which is funny! When it is funny. And Punchline ? Is not that word, which is repeated repeatedly in Punchline . That’s what qualifies it as a lovably bad movie, not to mention the most appropriately titled one of all time. Because it is not funny. But it is a joke. And I doubt you’ve heard this one before.
Michael Bay is notoriously tough on actors — just ask Megan Fox — but it appears he gave new Transformers: Dark of the Moon star Rosie Huntington-Whiteley some preparedness training before he even cast her in the new robot-killing film. Warning: this story involves the desert, high heels, and underwear.
I’m waiting on certain Hollywood legends to find descendents in current cineplex stars. Far as I’m concerned, we’re in dire need of a new Jack Lemmon, a new Shirley MacLaine , and a new Madeline Kahn, along with many, many others. But every so often, a millennial star finds a way to exhume the spirit of an old star while adding refreshing relevance. I present to you the following hypothesis in silver screen genealogy: Cameron Diaz is our new Goldie Hawn .
Despite being headlined by A-list stars Tom Hanks and Julia Roberts, Larry Crowne seems like a bit of a tough sell. After all, it’s a recession-tinged comedy-drama-romance about a guy who loses his job and goes to community college to put his life back together. Good times! Or something. Thus far, the trailers for Crowne have been of the “show, show more” variety, but perhaps Universal can just use this video of Tom Hanks interacting and dancing (!) with the hosts of the Univision show Despierta America for future spots, if only because it’s awesome.

“Tom Hanks and Julia Roberts, together at last!” That’s the marketing hook for Hanks’s film Larry Crowne, which he co-wrote and directed – or at least what’s supposed to be appealing about this. Then again, they were in Charlie Wilson’s War together, and that disappeared.

‘Everything’s in snow, but the costumes are very colorful,’ he tells MTV News. By Eric Ditzian, with reporting by Josh Horowitz Lily Collins Photo: John Shearer/ WireImage Two cinematic reimaginings of Snow White are currently in the works, but lest you think both are going to turn out more or less the same, simply listen to how director Tarsem Singh conceives of his film’s look . “It’s actually like if you looked at Gaudi’s architecture, based in England, done like a turn-of-the-century Russian film by an Indian guy,” he told MTV News. Right. We’re guessing that the competing Snow White tale — from Rupert Sanders, making his directorial debut after a string of hyper-stylized TV commercials — isn’t going to encroach on Tarsem’s territory, and that’s just the way he wants it. “There’s a brown guy telling you a Snow White tale to white people. Just by definition, when you put different ingredients, you get a different stew,” he said. His yet-untitled film stars Julia Roberts as the evil queen, Armie Hammer (“The Social Network”) as the handsome prince and, after being cast earlier this month, Lily Collins (“The Blind Side”) as Snow White herself. Why Collins, a relative unknown whose profile is on the rise after being cast in the adaptation of the “Mortal Instruments” young adult book series? “Her eyebrows,” Tarsem joked. “I just saw her eyebrows and I said, ‘That’s Snow White.’ ” With the key players in place, the filmmakers are busy building sets and designing costumes. True to Tarsem’s earlier work, like “The Cell” and the forthcoming “Immortals,” the new Snow White film will dress its cast in some eye-popping garb. “Everything’s in snow, but the costumes are very colorful. It’s like no color, then a lot of color,” Tarsem said. “I never know how actors give you all the trust, because the stuff that I make people wear does not look ridiculous — it looks ridiculous. ” Check out everything we’ve got on “Snow White.” For young Hollywood news, fashion and “Twilight” updates around the clock, visit HollywoodCrush.MTV.com .
Oh, Daniel Radcliffe — how you melt the icy chambers of my frozen heart. As the world gears up to watch Harry Potter finally triumph over evil noselessness, lucky Broadway audiences get to watch him finesse the cutthroat boardrooms of Mad Men -era New York in the revival of How to Succeed in Business Without Really Trying . Now, I will admit that as both a big fan of Daniel and How to Succeed, there’s was almost no chance that I wouldn’t love it, but I dare you not to impressed by the former boy wizard’s musical stylings.
