Big Brother Repulsion Index: Gagging Through the Lady Gaga Shot Trauma

Posted on August 23, 2010 by | Leave a comment

Last night was the annual “Drink Vile Concoctions” competition for Big Brother houseguests, and after throwing back mystery shots, contestants put on their best poker faces and waited for their competitors to guess who had just ingested the nasty clam juice and cupcake-flavored sludge. Per usual, Lane handled the challenge with his characteristic stoicism, Matt whimpered, and Ragan “channeled his Inner Lady Gaga” to guarantee his most over-the-top performance yet. Now let’s see whose behavior last night was more repulsive than the shots they were forced to swill.

The Verge: Callan McAuliffe and Madeline Carroll

Posted on August 23, 2010 by | Leave a comment

In Rob Reiner’s retro family film Flipped , the central, budding romance is handled in a novel way: first we see things from the perspective of aloof junior high schooler Bryce (Callan McAuliffe), and then we replay the same events through the perspective of his not-so-secret admirer, Juli (Madeline Carroll). For this edition of the Verge, then, let’s check in with McAuliffe first (he’s a 15-year-old Australian with a key role in the upcoming action film I Am Number Four ), then hear from Carroll (already a TV and film veteran at the age of 14), two unusually self-possessed young actors.

The Verge: Mary Elizabeth Winstead

Posted on August 16, 2010 by | Leave a comment

It’s not easy to play a cinematic dream girl, especially the inscrutable Ramona Flowers of Edgar Wright’s Scott Pilgrim vs. the World , who literally meets our titular hero (played by Michael Cera) for the first time inside his own dream. Still, actress Mary Elizabeth Winstead pulls it off, and why shouldn’t she, after braving challenges like Live Free or Die Hard , Death Proof , and the upcoming remake of The Thing ? Just before Scott Pilgrim’s release this past weekend, Winstead called up Movieline to discuss elements of a fight scene you didn’t see, the film’s reshot ending, and the credit she’s got that’s even weirder than Scott Pilgrim.

The Verge: Colin Egglesfield

Posted on June 28, 2010 by | Leave a comment

The gossip headlines may ask, “Is Colin Egglesfield dating Kate Hudson?” but rest assured, it’s only for the movies. The 37-year-old Egglesfield has spent spring canoodling with Hudson and Ginnifer Goodwin as the male lead in the in-production romcom Something Borrowed , a high-profile boost after the actor was bounced from the struggling revamp of Melrose Place . Egglesfield takes it all in stride, however; it’s just another curveball in a career that’s been full of them, zig-zagging from his pre-med background to high-fashion modeling to daytime soaps. How did it happen? He told Movieline.

The Verge: Teresa Palmer

Posted on June 14, 2010 by | Leave a comment

It can’t be argued that Australian men are having a bit of a moment in Hollywood — just ask actors like Ryan Kwanten or the Hemsworth brothers, tapped to play roles that America’s slender man-boys can’t quite muster up the strength for — but what of the Australian actresses who’ll follow in the footsteps of Nicole Kidman or Naomi Watts? Enter Teresa Palmer. The 24-year-old Adelaide native has appeared in productions like December Boys and Bedtime Stories , but things are about to ramp up considerably; next month, she’ll be seen as Jay Baruchel’s love interest in The Sorcerer’s Apprentice , then she’s primed for a big action moment in the alien adventure I Am Number Four , where she’ll star alongside other rising stars like Alex Pettyfer and Glee’s Dianna Agron. Palmer called up Movieline last week to chat about the crazy training regimen she’s currently undertaking for Number Four , the big movie she swears she isn’t actually attached to (no matter what IMD b says), and how the swerves of her early career have made her stronger.

The Verge: Luke Evans

Posted on June 7, 2010 by | Leave a comment

Luke Evans is your new leading man — you just don’t know it yet. The Welsh 30-year-old made his name on the British stage by starring in productions of Miss Saigon and Taboo , and since he transitioned into film last year, he’s booked role after role after role. In Robin Hood and Clash of the Titans , Evans had smaller supporting parts, but he turned heads as the romantic lead opposite Gemma Arterton in the Cannes comedy Tamara Drewe , and after he finishes Tarsem Singh’s Immortals , he’ll be playing Aramis in Paul W.S. Anderson’s The Three Musketeers (with a cast that includes Orlando Bloom and Christoph Waltz) and the title character in the biopic Vivaldi , opposite Jessica Biel. Not a bad haul for someone who hadn’t even appeared in a film until this year! Movieline caught up with the busy Evans to get the scoop on all of his upcoming projects and the one movie musical he’s desperate to be a part of.

The Verge: Steven Strait

Posted on May 3, 2010 by | Leave a comment

Along with Banksy’s self-distributed Exit to the Gift Shop , City Island ‘s ongoing box office run is one of the more inspirational indie success stories of the year to date. The excellent ensemble comedy about a dysfunctional, secretive family living on the titular island just off the Bronx expanded over the weekend, crossing the $2 million threshold that few (if any) observers expected it might reach. Among the beneficiaries: Steven Strait, who stars as Tony, a convict in whom prison guard Vince (Andy Garcia) takes an unusual interest on the cusp of his parole.

The Verge: Alex O’Loughlin

Posted on April 19, 2010 by | 1 Comment

How famous is Alex O’L oughlin? Ask him and he’ll assure you that he isn’t, but ask the marketers who put his name above the title on ads for the Jennifer Lopez romcom The Back-Up Plan and they may whistle a different tune. The truth is that O’L oughlin is the sort of actor who’s been on the verge of stardom for a while now, a charismatic, handsome Australian with the sort of dedicated female fanbase that comes when you play a sexy vampire in your first American project, the television series Moonlight . That series was canceled, as was O’L oughlin’s last show Three Rivers , but CBS has high hopes that an O’L aughlin-led Hawaii Five-O revival will be a fixture of its fall schedule. On the eve of The Back-Up Plan’s release this Friday, O’L oughlin called up Movieline to discuss the way Jennifer Lopez informs his notion of celebrity, the amount of faith CBS executives have had in him, and how he still smarts (just a little!) from losing the role of James Bond.
