Jon Hamm Wants George Clooney’s Career
Posted by Andru Edwards Categories: Casting, Celeb News, Celebrity Gossip,
Jon Hamm wants to be the next George Clooney.
The Mad Men actor - who has long-been compared to the Hollywood hunk - confesses he would “love to emulate” the Men Who Stare At Goats star’s career because of the variation of his work.
“We already have a perfectly serviceable George Clooney, but that’s certainly someone whose career I would love to emulate because he’s been able to work in various genres and walk the line between drama and comedy. He also got started very late in life because ER came when he was well into his thirties, so he bounced around, not unlike me, from show to show and failed pilot to failed pilot, and then ER happened and he blew up.”

Maggie Gyllenhaal Confused by Paparazzi
Posted by Andru Edwards Categories: Fox Searchlight, Adaptation, Drama, Celeb News, Celebrity Gossip,
Maggie Gyllenhaal felt “important” when she was “swarmed” by photographers - before realizing they were looking for Tom Cruise.
The Dark Knight star and husband Peter Sarsgaard are usually able to walk around New York unnoticed so were amazed when “tons” of paparazzi came into a cafe where they were enjoying coffee, only to then be ignored.
“There were a ton of paparazzi in the cafe with their huge cameras and laptops. I was like, ‘Peter, oh my God, they are so into us. They’re swarming us. We are so important.’ It turns out Katie Holmes and Tom Cruise were living on that street. It was the winter, so the photographers would go into the cafe to download their pictures.”
Maggie is currently promoting Crazy Heart, the first movie she worked on after giving birth to daughter Ramona three years ago, and admits she finds it difficult to balance parenthood with her career: “Every night you can’t put your kid to sleep, that’s pretty intense. In my family, that’s a big kind of get-together time - dinner, bath and stories and then bed.”

Robert Pattinson Fears Non-Twilight Films
Posted by Andru Edwards Categories: Action, Adaptation, Adventure, Drama, Romance, Science Fiction, Sequels, Thrillers, Casting, Celeb News, Celebrity Gossip, Filmmaking, Rumors, Upcoming Releases,
Despite already landing roles outside of the vampire series, Robert Pattinson finds taking on work outside of the Twilight franchise “scary.”
The actor, who plays vampire Edward Cullen in the hit movie series, says that it is more difficult to take on new roles now that he is so famous because there are so many things to consider.
“You get offered stuff that you would never dream of getting offered before, but that’s also scary. You don’t have to audition for anything. But I don’t want to do a movie just so it gets made. You have to question yourself a lot more. Before Twilight, I did any movie that I got offered, and you’d try and make the best of it afterwards. But now, you’re expected to come into the movie and provide not only economic viability, but also a performance as well. You can’t just mess around. People are like, ‘We’re employing you to be here, as a star and an actor.’ It’s difficult, and it’s scary.”
After recently working on the third Twilight movie, Eclipse, Robert is looking forward to taking on some radically different projects before getting to work on fourth installment Breaking Dawn.
“I think the tentative time for Breaking Dawn is fall next year. Depending on how things go, I’m doing a movie called Bel Ami in February, an adaptation to a Guy de Maupassant novel. And I’m doing - I hope - a Western with Rachel Weisz and Hugh Jackman called Unbound Captives sometime around there as well. They’ve got to try and juggle things around until everybody’s schedules work.”
Robert Downey Jr. Praises Guy Ritchie
Posted by Andru Edwards Categories: Warner Bros, Action, Adaptation, Adventure, Period, Thrillers, Celeb News, Celebrity Gossip, Filmmaking, Upcoming Releases,
Robert Downey Jr. says Guy Ritchie is a “really smart bad-a*s.”
The actor praised the director for his confident approach to working on Sherlock Holmes, in which the Iron Man star plays the titular fictional detective and says he always felt comfortable working with the filmmaker.
“We’re in the hands of a really smart bad-a*s. The best word to describe Guy is ‘confident.’ Confident in a way that you can’t pretend to be, because you only see it in the moment when it’s crunch time.”
Meanwhile, Guy says he decided to take on the project because he wanted to create an “intellectual action hero” that was radically different to his previous work. He told Britain’s FHM, “I’d been offered all sorts of other big studio films over the last ten, 12 years and none of them really appealed. Mostly because I thought I couldn’t do much with them. But I fancied this for all sorts of reasons. One is that I wanted to try something that’s completely different from anything I’ve done before. Another is that it’s a big studio movie and although, to a degree, it’s still in my genre, it’s a period piece, and it’s a stylish piece. But most of all I liked the idea of an intellectual superhero. An intellectual action hero, actually.”
Viggo Mortensen Relates to Character Worries, Exhaustion
Posted by Andru Edwards Categories: Weinstein Company, Action, Adventure, Drama, Thrillers, Celeb News, Celebrity Gossip, Filmmaking, New Releases,
Viggo Mortensen has always been a worried father.
The 51-year-old actor plays a father struggling to protect his son as they try to survive in a post-apocalyptic world in new movie The Road and he admits he could relate to the fear of not being able to protect your offspring. The star - who has a 21-year-old son, Henry, with his ex-wife Exene Cervenka - said:
“You worry about your child’s future. You’re like, ‘What if I’m away from my infant son or daughter for a few hours, do I trust someone else to take care of them?’ Then, later in life, you’re more concerned about whether you’ll be around anymore to help your children when they’re out of the nest. This movie just takes all those concerns to an extreme.”
Viggo could also relate to his character because the exhaustion he feels in the movie mirrored the tiredness the actor experiences in his life. He told Parade, “This guy is at the end of his rope. He’s dying of tiredness. All that keeps him going is trying to keep himself and his son alive. I was tired, I’d been going from one film to another. I realized the fact I was really exhausted was appropriate for the character.”
Quentin Tarantino Renames Kill Bill
Posted by Andru Edwards Categories: Weinstein Company, Action, Adventure, Horror, Sequels, Thrillers, Celeb News, Celebrity Gossip, Rumors, Scripts, Upcoming Releases,
Quentin Tarantino‘s next Kill Bill movie will have a different name.
The cult director has revealed he will have to re-title the third in the martial arts action franchise because the title character Bill - who was portrayed by the late actor David Carradine - was killed off at the end of the second movie.
“It wouldn’t be Kill Bill. It would be Volume Three of the story of the Bride.”
The Bride, also known as Beatrice, is the female lead portrayed by Uma Thurman. The 46-year-old filmmaker was also quick to deny the third installation of the bloodied action film will be his next project:
“There’s no script; there are just ideas and notes. I won’t do that next, but it could very well be the thing I do after next. We’re getting there. We’re about one movie away. There’s a lot of idle talk going on out there. At the same time, though, it’s what I’ve been saying from the beginning. That cracks me up, because somebody asked me about it in one of my overseas trips and I said it.”
Robert Downey Jr. Will Do Sequels Until Forcibly Retired
Posted by Andru Edwards Categories: Paramount, Warner Bros, Action, Adaptation, Adventure, Mystery, Science Fiction, Sequels, Thrillers, Casting, Celeb News, Celebrity Gossip, Filmmaking, Upcoming Releases,
Robert Downey Jr. would happily only star in Sherlock Holmes and Iron Man movies for the rest of his career.
The actor loved his experiences on the set of both films so much, he wants to keep returning for new installments until he is forced to quit.
“I’d be happy to bounce back and forth between Sherlock and Tony Stark until I’m forcibly retired. And fortunately, not unlike Iron Man, there is a way to continue along the lines of Sherlock and not become embarrassed by my graying hair and more ropey muscles.”
Robert’s Sherlock Holmes co-star Jude Law also revealed he is hoping to get cast in a sequel to the detective adventure: “We would love the audience to fall in love with it as much as we have so we can tell a whole bunch more.”
