Pierce Brosnan Never Broke Free of Bonds
Posted by Andru Edwards Categories: MGM, Action, Adaptation, Adventure, Classics, Sequels, Thrillers, Casting, Celeb News, Filmmaking
Ghost Writer‘s Pierce Brosnan never “nailed” James Bond.
The 56-year-old actor, who played the British spy in four installments of the movie franchise, feels his performances suffered because he couldn’t forget how previous actors had portrayed 007. Pierce - who took over the role from Timothy Dalton - explained:
“It was one of those things I always struggled with. I never felt that I really nailed it. There was always a hint of Sean Connery and Roger Moore that was so indelible in my own mind.”
The Hollywood star also says he knew that the script for Tomorrow Never Dies - his second outing as Bond - was not as good as many had hoped it would be: “When I did Tomorrow Never Dies I knew the movie wasn’t up to speed, it wasn’t as good as Goldeneye.”
However, he is still glad he had the opportunity to play the iconic movie character.

Box Office Breakdown: Wimpy Kid Bests the Bounty Hunter
Posted by Veronica Santiago Categories: 20th Century Fox, Disney, Fox Searchlight, Paramount, Sony, Universal, Action, Adaptation, Adventure, Animation, Drama, Family, Romance, Science Fiction, Comedy, Thrillers, Books, Box Office, Lists
Two out of three ain’t bad.
Although Hollywood has yet to present a real threat to Alice in Wonderland, two studios this weekend made strong attempts. Diary of a Wimpy Kid, based on a series of Jeff Kinney books, proved there was more than enough room for kid-friendly fare at the box office. Fox’s adaptation unfolded to over $22 million in ticket sales - approximately $12 million shy of the three-time winner, but enough for second place.
The Bounty Hunter - starring Jennifer Aniston and Gerard Butler - also managed to nab a decent bounty for itself during this frame. Sony’s critically-panned comedy grossed over $20 million, falling just short of Diary.
Meanwhile, Repo Men, Friday’s only other wide release, came a distant fourth with $6.1 million.

Box Office Breakdown: Alice in Wonderland in the Green Zone
Posted by Veronica Santiago Categories: 20th Century Fox, Disney, Fox Searchlight, Paramount, Universal, Warner Bros, Action, Adaptation, Adventure, Animation, Drama, Family, Horror, Romance, Comedy, Thrillers, Box Office, Lists
The combined forces of Matt Damon and Paul Greengrass could not earn Green Zone the green.
Although the film nearly matched The Hurt Locker‘s total domestic gross ($15.7 million) in just one weekend, Green became the latest war-based film to open to underwhelming numbers. The movie, which debuted to $14.3 million and cost approximately $100 million to produce, also came nowhere near Damon and Greengrass’ last project together. (The Bourne Ultimatum opened to $69.3 million in 2007.)
Meanwhile, Alice in Wonderland continued along its fantastic journey. The movie, which has now taken in over $209 million domestically, has officially become one of Disney’s Top 20 all-time entries.
