Quote of the Day: Eric Bana Wants a Nude Day

Posted by Robin Paulson Categories: New Line, Adaptation, Drama, Romance, Celeb News, Celebrity Gossip, Filmmaking, New Releases

“The nude scenes never felt magical. They felt like a pain in the arse. I think I should have just had one big nude day. Wouldn’t that have been a good idea? Then I could have got it all over and done with, which would have been good. Those scenes were an unnecessary evil.”

- The Time Traveler’s Wife star Eric Bana on filming nude scenes. Then again, who can blame him—working with Rachel McAdams seems rather intimidating, even moreso when doing so in your birthday suit!

Gerard Butler Comfortable Being Nude on Film

Posted by Andru Edwards Categories: Action, Drama, Independent, Celebrity Gossip, Upcoming Releases

Gerard Butler, who flashes his flesh in new movie Law Abiding Citizen, has no problem with stripping off for film roles. In fact, he thinks most cinema-goers like to see some nakedness.

“It’s always nice to show a bit of butt. I don’t think it was gratuitous here. I think there is a good reason for my nakedness in this movie,” the 39-year-old told Extra.

The new movie - about an everyday man who decides to administer his own justice when his family’s killers are freed - also stars Jamie Foxx, who found it hard working with the Scottish heartthrob. “He has to do his whole thing for the ladies, which is great. But that’s when we men go to the concession stand!” Jamie explained.

No More Nudity for Kate Winslet

Posted by Veronica Santiago Categories: Celeb News, Celebrity Gossip

If an Oscar nomination isn’t reason enough for you to finally see The Reader, consider this: That may be the last film Kate Winslet ever strips down for again.

In the current issue of Time, the two-time Golden Globe winner and current Oscar nominee claims her days of opening up for the camera are completely over. “I think I won’t do it again: a) I can’t keep getting away with it, and b) I don’t want to become ‘that actress who always gets her kit off’,” the 33-year-old explained.

Wes Anderson’s ‘Hotel Chevalier’ Free on iTunes

Posted by Johnny Mercedes Categories: Fox Searchlight, Short Films, Drama, Independent, Romance, Comedy, Distribution, New Releases

A 13-minute prequel to Wes Anderson’s new film, The Darjeeling Limited, has just become available as a free download on iTunes. The short film, entitled Hotel Chevalier, has been released over the internet in what seems to be a cross-promotional move by Anderson, who screened the short on the festival circuit but will not include it with the theatrical release. It appears to be a precursor to the situation which Jason Schwartzman’s character finds himself in at the beginning of Darjeeling. Knowing Wes Anderson, however, the two could have little to no relation at all.

The short involves Schwartzman and Natalie Portman as two former lovers in an uncomfortable first encounter after an apparent falling-out. As an added bonus, the two share a steamy moment in which Portman removes all of her clothes and mounts Schwartzman on a hotel bed; sadly, to the chagrin of many a fanboy, the sly camera work leaves much to the imagination. But Hotel Chevalier is classic Anderson—humorous, charming and unabashedly awkward. Look for The Darjeeling Limited in limited release this weekend—if you can bear to watch a post-trauma Owen Wilson, that is.
