Bullock Knew James Was For Her After Bike Crash
13 July 2009 1:06 AM, PDT | From wenn.com | See recent WENN news
Sandra Bullock knew she was destined to spend the rest of her life with husband Jesse James, after she nursed him back to health following a near-fatal racing accident.
The Proposal actress had been dating the TV tough guy and motorbike enthusiast for just three months when he was rushed to hospital after a bike smash.
The 44 year old feared the worst as she was told priests had taken to his bedside in case he needed to receive his Last Rites.
But Bullock realised then that James was the man for her - and vowed to stay with him whatever happened.
She says, "The day I knew was after he got in a racing accident in California about three months into our relationship. I realised how bad it was when we were driving down to be with him and they said that the chaplains were already there.
"I said, 'Whatever condition he's in, I want to be the one to make the decision as to how to make him better,' and I realised I didn't have that right. I knew then that I was in for the long haul and I thought, if he was (going to be) in a wheelchair or whatever, I was willing to take it on.
"When couples make the vows "for better, for worse" they rarely think of the worst that can happen. But I thought the worst from the beginning, so every day is kind of a little blessing."

Sandra Bullock admits she is "hard to handle". The 'Proposal' actress is lucky to have her husband Jesse James because he accepts for who she is. The 44-year-old star - who is stepmother to Jesse's three children - said: "Thankfully, I married someone who loves me just the way I am - and all the nuttiness that goes into to me. "As long as he has his coffee and reads his newspapers in the morning then he can handle me." Although she has found someone who loves her just as she is, Sandra admits it hasn't always been that way and says she was ignored by boys at school because she wasn't classically beautiful. She explained: "I was rejected in

'Bruno' Not as Brawny as 'Borat'
12 July 2009 6:08 PM, PDT | From Box Office Mojo | See recent BoxOfficeMojo.com news
Bruno strutted to the top of the box office but wasn't quite in vogue, leading to a relatively slow July session. Overall, the weekend was the least attended for the timeframe in 18 years and down five percent from last year. Striking approximately 3,400 screens at 2,756 venues, Bruno donned a solid estimated $30.4 million, which was less than I Now Pronounce You Chuck and Larry, a similar comedy from July 2007. Despite a higher-grossing debut, Bruno didn't make a statement like Borat, Sacha Baron Cohen's previous mockumentary. That picture opened to $26.5 million at only 837 theaters, and then made $28.3 million in its second weekend, when it expanded to 2,566 theaters, culminating in a $128.5 million final tally. Breaking the weekend gross down, Bruno had one of the steepest Friday-to-Saturday drops on record, slipping 39 percent from $14.4 million on Friday to $8.8 million on Saturday. For the most part, movies with such Saturday slides do not hold up well in the long run,

Ryan Reynolds is The Green Lantern
11 July 2009 1:33 PM, PDT | From TheHDRoom | See recent TheHDRoom news
If someone asked Mel Brooks what he thought about Ryan Reynolds, the wry old comedian would undoubtedly say, "It's good to be Ryan Reynolds." After a three-way casting royale emerged earlier this morning between Reynolds, Bradley Cooper and Justin Timberlake for the coveted role of Green Lantern in Warner Bros. Pictures upcoming flick, Reynolds has emerged victorious continuing his amazing run of good fortune per Variety. The Green Lantern is expected to begin production in January based on a completed script by Greg Berlanti, Marc Guggenheim and Michael Green. A budget has not been set but given the recent runaway success of superhero films and Reynolds' crossover appeal to females, Warner is expected to roll out the big bucks. Most any guy would kill for a chance to be The Green Lantern in a feature film. For Reynolds, his recent scores extend far beyond the DC Comics character. He has

Ryan Reynolds is 'Green Lantern': abs of awesome
11 July 2009 9:12 AM, PDT | From Pretty/Scary | See recent pretty-scary news
Variety reports that Scary Stud of the Month November 2004 Ryan Reynolds (Aka Sexiest Man Alive) has landed the coveted role of hunky and green spandex-clad superhero Green Lantern in Martin Campbell's adaptation of the D.C. comic!
Super hot, and very funny, Ryan starred in The Amityville Horror remake, vampire/action flick Blade III, and was the sarcastic-yet-hot Deadpool in X-Men Origins: Wolverine, a performance that prompted Fox to begin development on a spinoff film. All this makes us forgive him for starring opposite Sandra Bullock in the stupid romantic comedy The Proposal...
Ryan will forgo lame romantic comedies with unfunny women to next star in Buried, a dark indie drama that will begin filming shortly in Barcelona with Spanish director Rodrigo Cortes. Reynolds will play a civilian contractor who is kidnapped in Iraq and awakes in a coffin, struggling against time to coordinate a rescue even though he

Ryan Reynolds is Green Lantern, what now for Deadpool spin-off?
11 July 2009 6:17 AM, PDT | From The Geek Files | See recent The Geek Files news
It Certainly didn't take long to cast the Green Lantern after yesterday's announcement that Justin Timberlake, Ryan Reynolds and Bradley Cooper were the frontrunners.
It's been revealed today by Variety that Reynolds has landed the lead role in the Warner Bros movie, which begins filming in Sydney, Australia, in January.
The 32-year-old is enjoying a great year, having already starred with Sandra Bullock in romantic comedy hit The Proposal and played swordsman Wade Wilson, who becomes Deadpool, in X-Men Origins: Wolverine.
Variety's report today makes no mention of Justin Timberlake, whose involvement didn't go down well with fanboys, but mentions the other candidates as Bradley Cooper and Jared Leto. Yesterday's story in The Hollywood Reporter said Leto had been considered at a much earlier stage.
Variety reported: "The momentum built for Reynolds in the past week, as he was the only actor whose option was extended."

Ryan Reynolds Snags Green Lantern

We told you to check back regularly for this news to drop, and now it’s dropping!
Variety is reporting that actor Ryan Reynolds has been cast as The Green Lantern in Warner Bros.’ upcoming live-action adaption of the DC comics superhero. This announcement comes on the heels of earlier news that DC/Warner Bros. had narrowed the long search for their Green Lantern down to three finalists.
Reynolds has been a fast-rising star: his performance as Wade Wilson/Deadpool in this Summer’s Wolverine led Fox to create a spinoff film for the character. His most recent flick, the rom-com The Proposal with Sandra Bullock just passed $100 million and the actor has another film on the way, a psychological thriller called Buried, which is already generating mild buzz.
For all these reasons - and the fact that Reynolds has proven (keyword) he’s a pretty good leading man with

DreamWorks Peers Into View-Master Movie Possibilities
7 July 2009 12:00 PM, PDT | From MTV Movies Blog | See recent MTV Movies Blog news
3D flicks are all the rage these days. DreamWorks is hoping to take it back to the future with — wait for it — a View-Master movie. In case you haven’t played with (or bought on eBay) one of the old-school toys yourself, it’s a weird combination of a viewfinder and binoculars that you insert discs into. So instead of peering at rare birds or your neighbor or something, you see the 3D images printed on each circular disc.
DreamWorks, which did 3D as recently as March of this year with “Monsters vs. Aliens,” is negotiating with Mattel for movie rights for the old-school toy. According to The Hollywood Reporter, the studio is hoping to bring on board the hottest screenwriters du jour: Alex Kurtzman and Roberto Orci.
You know… the guys behind this summer’s smash hits “Star Trek” and “Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen.” They also executive produced

The Not So ‘Expendables?’
7 July 2009 10:11 AM, PDT | From ScreenRant.com | See recent Screen Rant news
Any movie with a title like The Expendables is one you figure wouldn’t be worried about having its main characters survive until the end. However, it seems that the suits behind the film are thinking far beyond the end credits of The Expendables - they’re thinking franchi$e opportunity.
Nola.com recently visited the New Orleans set of The Expendables to talk with Sylvester Stallone and Co. about the non-stop action, big explosions and crew of muscle-heads that are the prime ingredients of The Expendables. In the midst of the interview, producer Avi Lerner let it be known that if the film clicks with audiences, we can expect more to come :
Definitely. We already have got some ideas about ‘Expendables No. 2,’ ‘No. 3,’ …Definitely, it’s a franchise movie.
Another textbook answer from the Hollywood Producer School of Pre-promotion: it’s never too early to start hyping your next film.

Sandra Bullock Denies The Expendables Casting
6 July 2009 6:00 AM, PDT | From WorstPreviews.com | See recent Worst Previews news
JoBlo first started spreading the rumor that Sylvester Stallone was looking to cast his "Demolition Man" co-star Sandra Bullock in the upcoming "The Expendables" film. Then, Nu Image/Millennium spokesperson denied the casting, stating that it is merely wishful thinking. Now, Bullock tells Empire magazine that she had no knowledge of "The Expendables" existing and was definitely not approached to star in it. "I don't know where that came from," she said. "I never read the script, I didn't even know what the script was about." Judging by the official casting sheet and Bullock's response, it is safe to say that JoBlo's earlier report was not factual.

Bullock Thanks Strict Mum For Fitness
6 July 2009 5:11 AM, PDT | From wenn.com | See recent WENN news
Sandra Bullock is grateful her mother pushed her into playing sports when she was younger - because it gave a toned body.
The Speed actress was forced to undertake gruelling gymnastics and dance classes by her mum, and admits she hated it at the time.
But she is now glad her mother made her so active as a teenager, because it has given her a lifelong love of fitness.
Bullock tells WENN, "You know what, I have to say, Helga Bullock - a very strict German woman - forced me in to gymnastics and dance at a young age. I hated her for it. I then continued to other athletics and now I'm thankful for what she started, it's something that I can keep doing... I think it ebbs and flows, I gain 20 pounds, I lose 20 pounds... I'm lucky that my mother instilled something to me, it's kind of still sticking."
Reynolds Perfected Kissing For Movies
6 July 2009 5:11 AM, PDT | From wenn.com | See recent WENN news
Ryan Reynolds was so traumatised by an early onscreen kiss, he vowed to perfect his lip-lock technique to avoid making film-goers squirm.
The actor stars alongside longtime friend Sandra Bullock in The Proposal, and the pair stripped off together to film a sex scene.
Reynolds admits getting intimate with such a close pal on camera was unnerving - but credits a disastrous moment early in his career with his ability to kiss convincingly.
He tells WENN, "It is strange (kissing a friend). A kissing scene in a movie has to be very elegant I think. You know, you don't want to go at each other like a couple of farm animals. You want to make it nice and palatable for an audience.
"Early in my career I worked with an actress and she kind of went for it a little bit too much. I remember that, and we had to save it for the end... At the end of the scene I was standing in her stomach... and I was a little uncomfortable with that, so that ruined our chemistry. But Sandy and I, we just have this kind of firework thing that we're really grateful we have."
