Bill Nighy’s Vocal Appeal
Posted by Andru Edwards Categories: Animation, Family, Casting, Celebrity Gossip
Bill Nighy‘s director criticized him for using funny voices.
The actor voices Dr. Elefun in animated movie Astro Boy and admits he was reprimanded for experimenting with different vocal sounds when looking for an identity for the character.
“You just go with your own instincts. In this case, I came in with a lot of funny voices, and I did them for a while. And then Dave Bowers, the director, after a suitable time had passed, said, ‘Please, could you stop doing that now?’ I said, ‘Oh, all right.’ He said, ‘Your voice is what we wanted,’” he said. “I’m not being naïve or coy or modest, or anything. But I always forget, and - you know, you never think of your voice like that. You just think, ‘Oh, well, it’s my voice.’ I don’t think about my voice until somebody mentions it. But I’m please if people do like it.”
Meanwhile, Bill is hoping to reprise his role of Davy Jones in the fourth Pirates of the Caribbean movie.
“I hope so. I really do. I mean, I met Geoffrey Rush the other day, and he and I were both saying - we had a wonderful time, not least, with him, because he’s such a nice man, and such a good actor. We’d love to be in it,” he told Dark Horizons. “I’d love to be in it. I’d love to be in Pirates, because it was a great experience to be in the first lot. And - you know, those movies are beloved. It’s nice to make people happy.”

Posted by Andru Edwards Categories: Universal, Sequels, Comedy, Casting, Celebrity Gossip, Upcoming Releases
Jessica Alba may be starring in the sequel to Meet the Fockers.
The 28-year-old actress is in negotiations to appear in Little Fockers, the third film in the popular Meet the Parents franchise. Producers want the Love Guru star to play a sexy pharmaceutical rep whose looks send the movie’s male characters crazy.
If she lands the role, Jessica will star alongside Ben Stiller, Robert De Niro, Dustin Hoffman, Owen Wilson and Barbra Streisand.
The new film will see Stiller’s hapless character Gaylord Focker and his wife welcoming a child, or possibly twins, into the world. The storyline is close to Jessica’s heart - she gave birth to Honor Marie, her first daughter with husband Cash Warren, 15 months ago.

Pirates Franchise Sails On…Without Depp?
Posted by K.C. Morgan Categories: Disney, Action, Adventure, Family, Sequels, Casting, Celeb News, Celebrity Gossip, Corporate Shakeups, Rumors, Upcoming Releases, Videos
Which is bigger: Depp or Disney?
Dick Cook, former chairman of the uber-company and friend to actor Johnny Depp, recently left the company and left the fate of the Pirates of the Caribbean franchise up in the air. Depp stated that he may discontinue his piracy if Cook is no longer at the helm of the ship.
But here’s the really shocking part: Disney plans to forge ahead without him. Depp is signed up to do On Stranger Tides, the fourth installment in the franchise, but two more movies are planned after this.
So…is there any way the movies could possibly work without Captain Jack Sparrow? Disney’s pretty big…but it’s doubtful the company has the chops to make Pirates work without Depp in the lead.

Charlize Theron Purring Over Catwoman Role
Posted by Andru Edwards Categories: Warner Bros, Action, Adaptation, Adventure, Mystery, Noir, Sequels, Thrillers, Casting, Celeb News, Celebrity Gossip, Rumors, Upcoming Releases
Considering that Megan Fox can be counted out, Charlize Theron is now proclaiming how she’d love to “kick a*s” as Catwoman.
The Hollywood actress is thrilled to learn that she is in the running to play the super-villain alongside Christian Bale and Sir Michael Caine in the upcoming sequel to Batman blockbuster The Dark Knight.
“It’s news to me, but that’s kick-a*s news. I like that… I think that what has happened to that franchise is amazing, and director Chris Nolan is a genius. So I would be an idiot to not consider that.”
If the 34-year-old starlet accepts the role, she will be following in the footsteps of Michelle Pfeiffer and Halle Berry, who have both donned the iconic leather catsuit on the big screen.
Other actresses linked to the role include Angelina Jolie and Rachel Weisz.
Johnny Depp Out of Pirates?
Posted by Andru Edwards Categories: Disney, Action, Adventure, Family, Period, Sequels, Comedy, Casting, Celeb News, Celebrity Gossip, Celebrity Controversy, Rumors, Upcoming Releases
To a whole lot of women’s dismay, Johnny Depp may not appear in the next Pirates of the Caribbean film.
The veteran actor said that following the departure of Disney chief executive Dick Cook last Friday, he will have to wait to see the script for Pirates of the Caribbean: On Stranger Tides before he will commit to the movie.
Referring to the film he said, “There’s a fissure, a crack in my enthusiasm at the moment.”
Johnny, who has played the lead role of Captain Jack Sparrow in the previous three installments of the pirate adventure trilogy, said that he was “shocked and very sad” about the news when Dick phoned to tell him he was leaving.
“He is the utmost gentleman, so he made the call himself. He didn’t give me a reason. I didn’t see this coming. There was no reason to see this coming. He’s instantly trustworthy. And you generally don’t meet people at the studios you trust. He’s a rare beast.”
Johnny also said Dick was the person who convinced him to sign on for Pirates of the Caribbean in the first place.
