Exclusive: An Interview With Vic Armstrong, "The World's Greatest Stuntman"
25 May 2012 1:00 PM, PDT | ComicBookMovie.com | See recent ComicBookMovie news »
Vic Armstrong has worked in the film industry for over three decades, and regardless of whether it's his work as a stuntman, stunt coordinator or director, one need only think of their favourite action movie and you can just about guarantee that Vic worked on it. Whether it's doubling for the likes of Christopher Reeve, Sean Connery and Harrison Ford or working alongside directors such as Steven Spielberg, Ridley Scott and Irving Kirshner, the story of "The World's Greatest Stuntman" is a truly fascinating one. Yesterday, I was lucky enough to talk to Vic and ask him about some of the many projects he's tackled over the years, as well as hearing his fascinating insights into the stunt industry and much more. A big thank you to Titan Books' Tom green for setting up the interview and to Vic himself for taking the time to answer my questions. The Book »
‘Red 2′ Looks to Add More Star Power With Anthony Hopkins
24 May 2012 7:14 PM, PDT | ScreenRant.com | See recent Screen Rant news »
If we look back at the extraordinary career of Anthony Hopkins it is plain to see that he has never been afraid to tackle any type of role. Whether it’s been a cannibalistic psychiatrist serial killer, or an Asgardian ruler, Hopkins has always seemed to excel under any circumstances that the script calls for. At 75 years young, Hopkins has shown no signs of slowing down.
Recently it was announced that the Oscar-winning actor would return to reprise his role as Odin in Marvel’s Thor 2, and one thing that’s for certain is Hopkins does not plan on getting out of the game while he still has so much to give us. It would be too easy for him to call it a career and join Sean Connery on Hollywood’s R.E.D. (Retired and Extremely Dangerous) list.
Speaking of Red - THR is reporting that ...

Ryan Reynolds Considered for Next 'Highlander'
21 May 2012 3:18 PM, PDT | Planet Fury | See recent Planet Fury news »
The reboot of Highlander is being kicked around again, and Summit Entertainment is reportedly pursuing actor Ryan Reynolds to play Connor MacLeod.
If your first reaction is to groan, don't feel alone — I'm right there with you. Reynold's performance in The Green Lantern was stilted stuff, and attempting to picture the super-toned actor in the role of a 1500s-era Scotsman doesn't quite gel. Frankly, Reynolds seems to be better suited to be an underwear model for advertisements in magazines that I don't read.
But hold on there. Let's not rush into such a negative opinion. Let's think back to the original Highlander. I loved that film to death. But was it, itself, truly well cast? I mean, Christopher Lambert played the Scotsman, and he was French. Worse, they took Sean Connery — who is about as Scottish as you can get — and cast him as an Egyptian. While Reynolds wouldn't be my first choice, »

Major Ian Fleming Biopic In The Works
21 May 2012 1:52 PM, PDT | Cinemaretro.com | See recent CinemaRetro news »
A major feature film will depict the intriguing life of James Bond author and creator Ian Fleming. The legendary Fleming's colorful career included a good deal of exotic travel and wartime intrigue in British naval intelligence. Many of these aspects of his life were incorporated into the 007 novels. The film is based on author Andrew Lycett's acclaimed biography of Fleming and has the full approval of the Fleming estate. Duncan Jones (son of David Bowie) will direct. A previous Fleming biopic was made for American television in the late 1980s with Jason Connery, son of Sean Connery, starring as the author. There was also a British Fleming biography starring Charles Dance titled Goldeneye, released prior to the Bond flick of the same name. For more click here »

Blu-ray Release Date: Sept. 25, 2012
Price: Blu-ray $299.99
Studio: MGM Home Entertainment/20th Century Fox Home Entertainment
MGM’s celebration of James Bond’s 50th anniversary includes this collection, which includes all 22 action films in the 007 series, a few new special features and promotion for the 23rd movie, Skyfall.
The Bond 50 set also represents the only collection with all the movies on high-definition Blu-ray. But it still doesn’t have Never Say Never Again, the 1983 unofficial Bond movie, although the set does have Thunderball, which is the same story (and Sean Connery even stars in both as the celebrated British spy).
Back in 2007, the James Bond Ultimate Collector’s Set arrived on DVD, containing all the franchise’s films at that time. The Bond 50 box includes everything in that DVD set, plus 2008′s Quantum of Solace, but all in Blu-ray.

Even more 'SNL': Let's rank Kristen Wiig's best (and worst!) recurring characters
21 May 2012 12:19 PM, PDT | EW.com - PopWatch | See recent EW.com - PopWatch news »
Lorne Michaels once named Kristen Wiig among the best performers in Saturday Night Live history — and Wiig’s stable of quirky original characters certainly dominated the show for the last few years. From her first SNL episode as a featured player in 2005 to her last show this past Saturday, she played about 18 characters who appeared in three or more sketches — no small feat, especially considering Wiig’s equally huge roster of impressions. But which of these made-up ladies should join beloved creations like Wayne Campbell, Unfrozen Caveman Lawyer, and Darrell Hammond’s Sean Connery (who might as well be fictional »

David Bowie's Son To Direct Fleming Biopic - Report
21 May 2012 12:11 PM, PDT | WENN | See recent WENN news »
David Bowie's filmmaker son Duncan Jones is slated to make a new movie about James Bond creator Ian Fleming.
The acclaimed Moon director is in the running to direct the biopic, based on Andrew Lycett's biography The Man Behind James Bond, according to Internet reports.
Casting officially is underway as studio bosses hunt for the man who will play the celebrated novelist.
Fleming's life was last turned into a movie back in 1990 when James Bond star Sean Connery's son Jason took on the role of the suave writer in The Secret Life of Ian Fleming.
Charles Dance also played Fleming in fact-based biopic Goldeneye in 1989. That film focused on the author's wartime exploits and romantic adventures, which ultimately led to his creation of 007.
Deadline.com reports the new Bond biopic will start shooting later this year - as fans of the film franchise celebrate the 50th anniversary of the release of Dr. No, the first official James Bond movie. »

As 'Battleship' Flops: Ten Other Memorable Box-Office Bombs
21 May 2012 10:43 AM, PDT | The Playlist | See recent The Playlist news »
To have one giant money-losing tentpole is unfortunate. To have two starts to look careless, and that's what's happened to Taylor Kitsch. The actor, who broke out on TV's "Friday Night Lights," was seen as Hollywood's next great hope, picked out to star in two great big blockbusters with a combined cost of half-a-billion dollars. But when "John Carter" arrived in March, the film wildly underperformed, with Disney taking a hit of at least $100 million on the project. And after this weekend, it looks that his other film, "Battleship," is going to lose similar amounts.
The film, Universal & Hasbro's adaptation of the board game, directed by "Hancock" helmer Peter Berg, had taken the unusual step of opening everywhere else in the world six weeks ahead of the U.S, in the hope of bagging lucrative foreign coin and building buzz for the U.S. release. But while the film did ok abroad, »
