Quote of the Day: Carey Mulligan on Nudity, Singing
Posted by Robin Paulson Categories: Fox Searchlight, Drama, Celeb News, Filmmaking, Upcoming Releases,
"It's scarier to sing than to do nudity. Singing is like really exposing yourself. I was playing sort of a singer, so I was pretending to have a talent I don't necessarily believe I have. So singing was quite scary."

Quote of the Day: Tilda Swinton on Acting
Posted by Robin Paulson Categories: Celeb News, Celebrity Gossip,
"I'm not really interested in acting. I've given up waiting for an epiphany of interest to strike. Acting is a red herring and a major mistake and I'm still trying to get back on track. Every time I'm in a film I'm determined it's the last I'm in then I'll fall into a conversation with someone and we'll cook up a new scheme. Basically it's gone on for 20 years but I'm hoping to pull it to a close shortly."
-- Michael Clayton actress Tilda Swinton on her opinion of acting.

Carey Mulligan Praises Drive Director, Ryan Gosling
Posted by Andru Edwards Categories: Action, Drama, Noir, Celeb News, Celebrity Gossip, Filmmaking, New Releases,
Carey Mulligan loves the "brutal" honesty of director Nicolas Winding Refn. The Oscar-nominated actress worked with the filmmaker on new movie Drive, and says it was a dream come true because he's always been someone she's admired.
"I emailed my agent and said, 'I just want to work with someone like Nicolas Winding Refn - anyone who makes films like he does.' Nick is the most brutally honest person I have ever come across and when we walked into his house he turned around and said, 'Ah, Carey, you were much fatter last time we met!' He will always tell me if I'm being rubbish. And from then on we just had the best time making Drive. He was on my fantasy wish list, so I was just thrilled to be in it."
As well as working with Nicolas, Carey loved starring alongside Ryan Gosling in the film as he was so easy to work with: "With Ryan it was just easy. He is such a brilliant actor. He is so prepared and he doesn't have to warm himself up to be in a scene. He just draws you in. We had scenes where we stared at each other with no words for three minutes until it was, like, weird. But somehow I kinda feel like it works because the rest of the film has all these very complex, witty, intelligent and terrifying characters. And this is the part of the film where there is a little bit of hope. It is quite nice."

Mila Kunis Was Comfortable With Naked Justin
Posted by Andru Edwards Categories: Sony, Romance, Comedy, Celeb News, Celebrity Gossip, Filmmaking, New Releases,
Mila Kunis had "no problem" with Justin Timberlake taking his clothes off for their new film.
The pair - who are rumored to be dating - star together in new comedy Friends with Benefits, and while the actress admits some of their sex scenes were "uncomfortable," she says the friendship she has with her co-star helped put her at ease.
"I didn't have any problem with Justin taking his clothes off. But I'm incredibly insecure about my figure in my private life, let alone in front of 50 crew members. There was a lot of insecurity. There were awkward moments, but the great thing was that Justin and I were friends, so at least I was with someone I knew who was also uncomfortable."
Jessica Alba Craving Some Action
Posted by Andru Edwards Categories: Action, Celeb News, Celebrity Gossip,
Jessica Alba wants to make another action movie. The 30-year-old actress - who gave birth to Haven Garner, her second daughter with husband Cash Warren, last weekend - thinks it would be "fun" to appear in something similar to her 2000 TV series Dark Angel, which was canceled after two seasons.
"I'd like to do an action movie next as I haven't really done one since Dark Angel. It'd be fun to get back to doing some of those."
Jessica can next be seen in Spy Kids 4; she is a big fan of the franchise and thinks it will still entertain viewers in years to come: "I'm a fan of the Spy Kids movies. It's not just the grown-ups that get to do all the action to save the world. The kids do too, which is really neat. The first was my favorite and I think it's timeless. The theme of a family working together and enjoying every moment still resonates and will do in another 10 years."

Posted by Andru Edwards Categories: Warner Bros, Action, Adaptation, Adventure, Thrillers, Celeb News, Celebrity Gossip, Filmmaking, New Releases,
Harry Potter star Emma Watson became more interested in the films as the franchise got "darker." The 21-year-old actress - who has played leading lady Hermione Granger in the movie series for the last 10 years - began to enjoy the films when it became more of a challenge for her to act in them.
"I mean obviously I went from being a child to being an adult. As the material got darker, it got more challenging. When that started happening, I started taking more of an interest."
The British star - who has returned to education and turned to a career in fashion alongside her film work as she has grown older - also admits she will miss her character in the movie more than she will miss anything else.
"I'm just going to miss being her, living in her world."
Harrison Ford Calls Shia LaBeouf an Idiot
Posted by Andru Edwards Categories: Paramount, Action, Adventure, Celeb News, Celebrity Gossip, Filmmaking,
Harrison Ford labeled Shia LaBeouf a "f**king idiot" for criticizing Indiana Jones and the Crystal Skull.
The 68-year-old actor - who played the titular character in the fourth installment of the franchise, with Shia playing his son - does not believe it was correct of the 25-year-old star to say he "dropped the ball" on the movie because it is his duty to "support" a film.
"I think I told him he was a f**king idiot. As an actor, I think it's my obligation to support the film without making a complete ass of myself. Shia is ambitious, attentive and talented - and he's learning how to deal with a situation which is very unique and difficult," Ford told Details.
Shia portrayed Mutt Williams in the 2008 movie, and speaking last year said it was his "fault" the movie - which took $786.6 million at the box office worldwide - did not work, adding Harrison was also not "happy" with the final product:
