THE TWILIGHT SAGA: BREAKING DAWN PART 1 images are as stagnant as the film is likely to be
May 03
Looking sexy with contacts in their eyes, these new images from Breaking Dawn Part 1 leave little to the imagination. I’ve only ever tolerated the first Twilight film and that was more than enough for me. Fans of this franchise are fans for a reason, and I’m sure their hearts will be racing over these photos.
If I do end up seeing this (for whatever reason), I guarantee I would spend every excruciating minute counting the number of times Kristen Stewart runs her hand through her fucking hair.
But, Kathryn Bigelow was gonna KILL BIN LADEN
May 03
The events of 1 May 2011 have drastically changed the plans of Academy Award winning director Kathryn Bigelow’s current project. After her war-based film The Hurt Locker won her Best Director and Best Picture in 2009 she was busy working with the same producers on Kill Bin Laden, a feature film that would fictionally kill the western world nemesis. Now, of course, that has actually happened. The Hollywood Reporter has the details.
Last word from Kathryn and her team was that they were taking a short break from their current development and finding a way to incorporate recent events so their film can accurately portray them. That is, they’re going ahead!
Thankfully this won’t be a rushed TV movie like a certain rushed-in-time-for-a-royal-wedding film that made its timely way to TV & DVD. Shudder.
Elizabeth Banks will star in THE HUNGER GAMES
May 02
After scooping up the rights to the 2008 young-adult science fiction novel The Hunger Games some time ago, Lionsgate have just announced that Elizabeth Banks will play Effie Trinket– a flaky fashion consultant who escorts her district’s contestants into the battlefield… Wait, a battlefield? WTF?
The Hunger Games is set in the undetermined future where, every year, one boy and one girl between the ages of 12 and 18 from are selected at random and forced to participate in the Hunger Games, a televised event in which the participants must fight to the death in a dangerous outdoor arena until only one remains.
The books wound up as a trilogy. No doubt Lionsgate are hoping they can franchise them into film adaptations, success of this first one pending. The Hunger Games is scheduled to hit screens in 2012.
JUST GO WITH IT reviewed
May 01Not even the occasional guilty laugh or gratuitous bikini shot can redeem this comedy of its inept script, blatant improv (which defeats the purpose) and insulting acting.
Our reviews are short. Very short. Deal with it.
Who’s laughing now? HANGOVER 2 facing release delays thanks to THAT tattoo
May 01When Mr. Whitmill created the Original Tattoo, Mr Tyson agreed that Mr. Whitmill would own the artwork and thus, the copyright in the Original Tattoo ... Warner Bros. Entertainment, Inc. — without attempting to contact Mr. Whitmill, obtain his permission, or credit his creation — has copied Mr. Whitmill's Original Tattoo and placed it on the face of another actor ... This unauthorized exploitation of the Original Tattoo constitutes copyright infringement.”
Someone at Warner Bros. is going to get a smack on the fingers. A lead in The Hangover Part 2 (played by Ed Helms) winds up with a tattoo on his face for the majority of the film. Problem? Yes, actually. The same tattoo design can be found on Tyson’s face (a clever throwback to the first film, I suppose), and the dude who inked it, one Mr. Whitmall, owns the copyright.
Yup– he owns that shit. You can’t put that design anywhere without his all-clear, especially on the face of an actor in a major comedy release. So, in a major fuck-you to the big-wig studio, he has filed a lawsuit asking for the film’s release to be halted. Shit just got real. The Hollywood Reporter has the intricate details (with less swearing) if you’re keen.
