Steven Spielberg Driven by Fear
Posted by Andru Edwards Categories: DreamWorks, Touchstone, Adaptation, Drama, Period, Celeb News, Filmmaking, New Releases,
Steven Spielberg is "driven" by fear. The director admits he likes to take on projects which intimidate him, and he admits he is always nervous when he is on the set of a new movie.
"Fear is what drives me. Every movie is scary for me and every day I shoot the movie is scary. And I need fear because it drives me to explore things. It keeps me looking for a new variation on constant themes."
He admits, however, he did not struggle with working with horses on his new movie War Horse - about a boy whose beloved pet is sold by his father to work in the trenches of World War I - because he has always been around them thanks to his children.
"I'd never made a movie where a horse was the star. Or, indeed, any animal was the star. My daughter, who's 14, is a competitive jumper. And my wife just started doing dressage. So I've been living with horses for the past eight years, and they've been part of my life for the past 16 to 17 years. Based on directing a movie with horses, I now feel very strongly that they're the most intelligent animals I've ever come across."

Emma Stone is leaving upbeat teen films behind her, and it looks like she’ll be putting some impressive acting chops on display in The Help. The touching film is adapted from the book of the same name, a heart-wrenching portrait of racial tensions in 1960s Mississippi.
But before you completely write it off as a chick flick, watch the trailer above and you’ll see why we think Stone’s star is going to start shining. Bryce Dallas Howard co-stars as a racist housewife, and she's sure to make a fantastic villain.

Quote of the Day: Miley Cyrus on Filming in Georgia
Posted by Robin Paulson Categories: Touchstone, Adaptation, Drama, Romance, Celeb News, Celebrity Gossip, Filmmaking, New Releases,
“In L.A., I had so many security blankets, people helping me with everything. I tried to book my friend a flight, and I didn’t know how because I was used to someone doing it for me. I didn’t want a babysitter anymore. I came to Tybee Island crying harder than I had ever cried in my life—and I left with the biggest smile on my face.”
- The Last Song actress Miley Cyrus on filming away from home (and finally growing up?).
(Make sure to check out other notable quotes.)

Box Office Breakdown: Avatar Has the Edge Over Mel Gibson
Posted by Veronica Santiago Categories: 20th Century Fox, Disney, Paramount, Sony, Touchstone, Universal, Warner Bros, Action, Adaptation, Adventure, Animation, Drama, Family, Period, Romance, Science Fiction, Sequels, Comedy, Thrillers, Box Office, Lists,
Despite success in recent years as a director, Mel Gibson hasn’t been seen in front of the cameras in quite some time. Unfortunately, he couldn’t have picked a worse weekend to make a return.
Gibson’s new film, Edge of Darkness, debuted to a respectable $17.2 million over the past three days. While that may - may - have been enough for a first place finish at any other time, the Warner Bros. feature brought in approximately half as much as that other film.
Avatar, with its $31.3 million take, is now approximately $10 million shy of officially taking the domestic crown from Titanic. (The 20th Century Fox film finally become the worldwide leader during the past week.) If the sci-fi extravaganza remains at #1 for
nine more weeks,it’ll officially tie E.T. for that record.)
