Tim Gunn Talks to Movieline About Project Runway, Confronting Gretchen, and Crossdressing J. Edgar Hoover

Posted on September 2, 2010 by | Leave a comment

Project Runway ‘s addictive drama hinges on the appearance of Tim Gunn, the competing designers’ mentor who adds doses of advice, wit, and professorial integrity to the workroom. Movieline caught up with Gunn to discuss his new book Gunn’s Golden Rules (and that chapter about J. Edgar Hoover’s Vivian Vance drag ), “crackpipe”-smoking judges, and even his favorite film scene of all time.

Tyler Perry could get used to this awards season thing.

Now he’ll never get to finish that Mai Tai . [ Cinematical ]

Avatar’s Home Tree Initiative heading to six continents. Photo courtesy of 20th Century Fox James Cameron already planted one million trees in Brazil last April. But the director has said earth needs at least a billion more trees — not a million, and he’s enlisting 15 more countries to follow his lead, including the U.S. That’s not all he’s reprising. His film made more than a billion bucks, and now Avat… Read the full story on TreeHugger

Roman Polanski Free After Swiss Reject Extradition

Posted on July 12, 2010 by | Leave a comment

Roman Polanski is a free man today after the Swiss Justice Ministry officially rejected an extradition request from the United States. The decision ends a nine-and-a-half-month saga which saw Polanski nabbed at an airport, sequestered in jail, moved out to house arrest and finally released when, according to the Swiss, prosecutors failed to provide confidential testimony about the director’s original trial and sentencing. Which of course raises many questions, including the eminently obvious: Why the hell did we even bother?

Will James Cameron’s Next Film Star the Black Eyed Peas?

Posted on July 2, 2010 by | Leave a comment

As we all know, James Cameron’s best work is not Aliens, Avatar , or Titanic , but instead his one contribution to music video history: Martini Ranch’s “Reach” video, a deliciously absurd parable about female bodybuilders and Kathryn Bigelow’s doability in a cowgirl outfit . Alas, Cameron hasn’t directed a music video since, although according to will.i.am from the Black Eyed Peas, the director is going to put off Avatar 2 to direct their concert film. Um what?

Pour a little out for Harry Potter and his friends. According to the Twitter account of actor Warrick Davis, Saturday was the final day of principle photography on Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows .

Farewell Harry & Hogwarts, it’s been magic! … and goodbye Griphook!” Though not magic enough to stay within the bounds of the 140 character Twitter limit, right Warrick? [ /Film ]

Guillermo del Toro Admits: ‘I am No Longer an Official Voice for The Hobbit’

Posted on June 7, 2010 by | Leave a comment

The Hobbit may be down a director amidst turmoil at MGM, but it keeps moving right along. (Psst, Lost fans: we hear that Widmore and Keamy both went in to read for roles this past week). Since Guillermo del Toro bolted from the production last week, he’s promised to deliver a second statement about just what went down, and that longer missive came late last night. His explanation? Yeah, it was basically that whole “I wanted my life back ever endless delays” thing.
