Directors Guild Award Shocker: Tom Hooper Wins For The King’s Speech

Posted on January 30, 2011 by | Leave a comment

And just like that, we’ve got a new front-runner. After previously notching an unexpected win at the Producers Guild Award, The King’s Speech continued on its guild rampage, with first-time nominee Tom Hooper winning Best Feature Film Director last night, leaving previous favorite David Fincher with nothing. And as you will hear ad nauseum today, only six times in the past has the DGA Award winner not won the Academy Award for Best Director, most recently in 2002 when Rob Marshall won for Chicago , but Roman Polanski went on to win the Oscar for The Pianist . Will The King’s Speech make it a guild hat trick and win big tonight at the Screen Actors Guild Awards? Full list of winners after the break. [ Deadline ]

VIDEO: Researchers Create Fully Functional Terminator Hand

Posted on January 27, 2011 by | Leave a comment

Today in science catching up with science-fiction: German researchers have constructed a fully functional terminator hand. As the video demonstrates, this robot hand can emerge from baseball bat assaults totally unscathed, just like real terminators. My question: Why we are seeing more progress in the creation of machines that are supposed to wipe out humans rather than say, curing cancer? Anyway, the video of the creepy, moving robot fingers getting hit by bats is after the jump. How many years until we get the full T-100? Place your bets!

Posted on January 26, 2011 by | Leave a comment

Good news: Isaiah Mustafa is back with another Old Spice viral video! Bad news: The luster has completely worn off. Like, down to the nub. Alas. On the bright side, though, perhaps this latest bit of shirtless enunciation sheds some light on what to expect from Mustafa’s co-starring role in Tyler Perry’s Madea’s Big Happy Family . Or, not. Click ahead to watch the man your man could smell like discuss his upcoming set of Old Spice advertisements. Super Bowl, anyone?

Hobo with a Shotgun Star Rutger Hauer: ‘I’ve Been Underrated All My Life’

Posted on January 26, 2011 by | Leave a comment

Forget Lizzie Olsen ; the breakout star of Sundance 2011 is clearly 67-year-old Rutger Hauer, who’s taken Park City by storm with his star turn in Jason Eisener’s grindhouse homage Hobo with a Shotgun . To celebrate the gory, tongue-in-cheek vigilante tale about — yes — a homeless hero with a shotgun, the Hobo folks hosted a thematically relevant Bloody Mary hour this morning where Hauer walked in wielding his titular firearm and regaled Movieline with six important revelations/life lessons:

The Conspirator Trailer: James McAvoy and Robin Wright Star in Robert Redford’s Cinematic Ambien

Posted on January 26, 2011 by | Leave a comment

Remember that two-year period when James McAvoy was a sexy up-and-coming actor capable of carrying great films like The Last King of Scotland and Atonement ? Apparently the Scot took time off from such award-worthy projects to star in Penelope and Robert Redford’s The Conspirator , a historical drama about the only female co-conspirator charged in the Abraham Lincoln assassination (played by a haggard-looking Robin Wright). The trailer for the latter was released today, and judging from those two minutes, The Conspirator will play out like a lesser History Channel movie and put you to sleep like a box full of Benadryl. Although there is one exciting moment, courtesy of a very unlikely actor.

REVIEW: Jason Statham Keeps the Gears Going in The Mechanic, But Barely

Posted on January 26, 2011 by | Leave a comment

What if, as if in a dream, Donald Sutherland appeared before you — the Donald Sutherland of today, silver-fox handsome and turning a throwaway role into something rich and refined — only to be whisked away and replaced with…Ben Foster? To quote Johnny Rotten: Ever get the feeling you’ve been cheated?

Parks and Recreation’s Chris Pratt on the Hilarious Third Season and the Surprise of Rob Lowe

Posted on January 26, 2011 by | Leave a comment

It was good to be an American last week. After all, not only did Parks and Recreation return to NBC after eight months on the shelf, but people actually watched — the season three premiere was Parks and Recreation ‘s highest rated episode yet. That was great news for everyone, but especially Chris Pratt. As you may have noticed, the premiere featured an extended “previously on” clip package to open the show, highlighting the unrequited love between Pratt’s Andy and Aubrey Plaza’s April. He’s rapidly becoming Pawnee’s answer to Jim Halpert, with 100 percent more flannel.

While we were all picking apart the Oscar Nominations and putting them back together yesterday, the busy distributors at Sundance were forging ahead, keeping their nose to the ground and making serious deals! Well okay, two distributors. One deal each. Fine! Things slowed down a bit yesterday, but it didn’t stop the completions of a few high profile sales. Read ahead for the details about Tobey Maguire’s descent into a suburban nightmare and what sounds like an Irish version of Lethal Weapon with Brendan Gleeson and Don Cheadle.

The Mechanic’s Ben Foster on Gun Porn, Producing and Pedophile-Baiting

Posted on January 26, 2011 by | Leave a comment

One look at the gun-crazy poster for The Mechanic and you know what you’re in for with this week’s hit-man thriller: Lots and lots of gun porn. Pairing Jason Statham as a calculating, composed assassin and Ben Foster as his boss’s loose cannon of a son, director Simon West remakes the original 1972 Charles Bronson flick of the same name with a greater focus on his characters. But the initial appeal, as Foster tells Movieline, was the prospect of getting to “blow sh*t up” with Jason Statham.
