Fast & Furious Six First Look: Vin Diesel And Paul Walker On The Sequel Set

Posted on August 21, 2012 by Benny Hollywood| Leave a comment

Production is underway on The Fast and the Furious 6 , director Justin Lin ‘s anticipated follow-up to 2011’s Fast Five and his fourth trip behind the camera in the Fast & The Furious franchise. Yes of course, you should be excited; Fast Five was awesome. Just look at how happy stars Vin Diesel and Paul Walker are in the first image from the set! This time around in Fast 6 , Dom and Brian’s happy outlaw family are being hunted down by The Rock’s returning agent Luke Hobbs, last seen investigating some very interesting photos with a slinky Eva Mendes. Also back: Michelle Rodriguez (Letty!), Jordana Brewster, Sung Kang (Han!!), and Tyrese, joined by newcomers Gina Carano and Joe Taslim of The Raid . It’s quite a line-up for fans of the franchise and fans of action. I mean, have you seen Haywire ? Have you seen The Raid ? Expect more awesome fistfights than you’ll ever see in the Expendableses .* *This may be a controversial statement, but: I’ll take the cars + brawn action in any Fast & Furious movie over the mind-numbingly repetitive gunfire circuses that are the Expendables movies any day. Anyhow, enjoy. Rejoice! But remember, you’ve still got a long way to go until Fast 6 hits theaters in May 2013. [ @FastFurious ]

Why Renny Harlin Made a Movie About the 2008 Russo-Georgian War

Posted on August 12, 2011 by | Leave a comment

Renny Harlin ( Die Hard 2, Cliffhanger, 12 Rounds ) is not the first director — or the second or third or heck, the 20th — you’d expect to direct a serious movie about a recent political conflict that resulted in numerous human rights violations, civilian deaths, and tenuous relations between Russia and neighboring Georgia. But that’s just what the genre veteran did in the Aug. 19 pic 5 Days of War , telling The New York Times he “wanted to shift to films that he said would ‘allow me to look at myself in the mirror’ in the morning.” Congrats, Renny! You’re that much closer to making up for Cutthroat Island . [ NYT ]

Report: Mike Myers is Back for Austin Powers 4

Posted on August 12, 2011 by | Leave a comment

It’s been ten years since Mike Myers last donned international man of mystery Austin Powers’s teeth swingin’ ‘tude, perhaps for good reason — by the time Myers rolled around the 1970s with Beyonce’s Foxxy Cleopatra in 2002’s Austin Powers in Goldmember , the series had lost some of its driving mojo. But after a taking a decade to recharge, the franchise is said to be headed back to the spotlight with a new sequel, according to a report by HitFix’s Drew McWeeny.

Rebecca Black’s ‘Friday’ Beats Justin Bieber, Lady Gaga On YouTube

Posted on April 12, 2011 by Benny Hollywood| Leave a comment

‘Friday’ has had 100 million views to date, with Black currently working on her second single, ‘LOL.’ By Gil Kaufman Rebecca Black in her video for “Friday” Photo: Ark Music Factory There was a minute there when Rebecca Black’s “Friday” video was, almost literally, inescapable. Whether the success of the viral hit was being covered on such unlikely outlets as CNN or NPR, getting parodied on late-night television, or just bouncing around from Twitter accounts to e-mail in-boxes and music blogs, the tune by the previously unknown 13-year-old had the kind of white-hot media buzz usually reserved for a Lady Gaga or Justin Bieber. Well, guess what? The little $2,000 pay-to-play ditty-that-could can now claim to have surpassed such major label juggernauts as Bieber and Gaga. According to a Reuters report, the no-budget clip for Black’s song has been viewed more than 100 million times on YouTube since it was released on February 10, surpassing the totals for Gaga’s “Born This Way” and Bieber’s “Pray” videos, based on numbers provided by Visible Measures, a company that tracks the performance of Web videos. Scratch that. If you count spoofs, other versions and home-brewed takes on the song, it’s actually been seen more than 200 million times. Crunching the same numbers for “Born This Way,” it has generated 180 million online views, while “Pray” has racked up 65 million. It doesn’t seem as though Gaga minds the competition from the Ark Music Factory product, as she reportedly referred to “Friday” as “genius” recently. Black told us she “freaked out” when she heard the compliment from Mother Monster. “I’m 13 and I never thought Lady Gaga would even know my name. I’m the kind of girl that dances to Lady Gaga with a hairbrush in her room at night,” Black told MTV News in late March before she notched her YouTube record. Black is reportedly at work on her second single, “LOL,” though a release date for that song has not yet been announced.

‘Scream 4’ Stars All Insist They’re Not The Killer

Posted on April 12, 2011 by Benny Hollywood| Leave a comment

‘My character’s not the killer because maybe she is,’ Courteney Cox teases MTV News. By Kara Warner Emma Roberts Photo: MTV News For the die-hard “Scream” fans out there, one of the many joys in watching the films for the first time is trying to figure out who the killer is. With the release of the fourth installment of the franchise just days away, rumors and speculation are running rampant across the interwebs. To help you narrow down your list of potential killers, MTV News had the cast of “Scream 4” make a case for why you won’t see their characters wielding any knives or wearing Ghostface masks come Friday. “My character is not the killer, because she knows horror movies too well,” Hayden Panettiere said of her spunky, know-it-all character Kirby Reed. “She knows how they work, and she’s too terrified in that scene in the preview.” “I can’t do it because O.J. already did it,” Anthony Anderson joked about his character, Deputy Perkins. “Yeah. That would be racist,” added co-star Adam Brody. “You’re not going to have the black guy killing all the white people.” “No,” Anderson agreed. “And yeah, my guy is just kind of a dummy,” Brody said of Deputy Hoss. “I could be putting everyone on, but I don’t think I have enough screen time to totally be the killer, but maybe?” David Arquette, who returns to the franchise as Dewey Riley went for a more cryptic approach. “I’m not the killer, because I am the killer,” he said. “My character’s not the killer because maybe she is,” Courteney Cox said of intrepid nosy reporter Gail Weathers, coincidentally echoing the same phrase as her onscreen husband. “My character is not the killer because she’s Sydney Prescott,” said Neve Campbell, who returns to the franchise as the central character. “My character Jill is not the killer because she’s Sydney’s cousin — hel-lo!” Emma Roberts argued. And finally, Aimee Teegarden weighed in: “Why am I not the killer? I’m not the killer because I have great hair in the movie,” she said. “And if you have great hair, you don’t die — bottom line.” So what do you think, “Scream” fans? Is one of them lying? Tell us in the comments! Check out everything we’ve got on “Scream 4.” For breaking news, celebrity columns, humor and more — updated around the clock — visit MTVMoviesBlog.com .
