Johnny Depp Joins Native American Tribe

9 hours ago | National Ledger | See recent National Ledger news »

Johnny Depp has joined a Native American tribe. The 48-year-old star is currently filming a remake of 'The Lone Ranger' in which he plays Tonto, a fictional character belonging to the Comanche Nation. Now officials of the real tribe have officially invited him to become a member, according to The Hollywood Reporter. President of Americans for Indian Opportunity Ladonna Harris said: ''Johnny is reprising the historic role of Tonto, and it seemed like a natural fit to officially welcome him into our Comanche family. ''I reached out, and Johnny was very receptive to the idea. He seemed proud to receive the invitation, and we were honored that he so enthusiastically agreed.'' The 'Dark Shadows' actor has revealed in the past that he has Native American ancestry from his great-grandmother, who was a Cherokee Indian. Johnny attended the ceremony at Ladonna's home in Albuquerque, New Mexico, »

Will Smith on the risks of Men in Black 3, says it's most tricky franchise he has ever worked on

25 May 2012 8:54 AM, PDT | The Geek Files | See recent The Geek Files news »

It's been 15 years since Will Smith first donned those shades and started chasing aliens in Men In Black.

And although the square afro that he first stepped into the limelight with as The Fresh Prince Of Bel Air may be long gone, there's no sign of greying on the 43-year-old, who seems to have the energy levels of his just-teenage children Jaden and Willow.

Will's youthful enthusiasm was very much needed as he once more protected the earth from the 'scum of the universe' in new film Men In Black 3.

The follow-up to the 1997 sci-fi comedy didn't do as well, and there has been a ten-year hiatus since Smith and his co-star Tommy Lee Jones last donned their black suits as Agent J and Agent K.

So why come back now?

According to Barry Sonnenfeld, who directed all three films, they were halfway through filming the second one when »

Dark Shadows Movie Review

25 May 2012 8:38 AM, PDT | AreYouScreening.com | See recent AreYouScreening news »

Without the connection to something that already exists as a cult hit, the premise of Dark Shadows would be nearly impossible to sell. Even with that connection Johnny Depp struggled to get the project off the ground, and the result, unfortunately, gives us a good example of why “vanity projects” have a bad name, no matter who we have involved with them.

Worse, Dark Shadows starts out as a thoroughly impressive effort to relive a curiosity of television, not merely by revisiting its well, but by trying to do what it was trying to do. A tricky, and overly thought-intensive idea, considering the genre we’re in, it is nevertheless a surprising turn to come out of what is ultimately an indescribably silly venture.

Depp plays Barnabas Collins, and we meet him some 200 years ago. A young man born of a wealthy family, Barnabas grows to adulthood in a small »

Paul McCartney Video ‘My Valentine’ Featuring Johnny Depp and Natalie Portman to Play Before ‘The Intouchables’

25 May 2012 7:30 AM, PDT | FilmSchoolRejects.com | See recent FilmSchoolRejects news »

Harvey Weinstein. This guy. He’s crazy like a fox, and not all of his moves can be understood ahead of time, which is why he often prevails. In the case of the music video for Paul McCartney‘s “My Valentine,” it’s unclear who he’ll prevail over, but the producing titan has requested that theaters in New York and Los Angeles play the black and white work (which features Johnny Depp and Natalie Portman signing the lyrics to the song (before Depp takes a sweet acoustic solo)) before screenings of The Intouchables. There is no connection between the two projects (at least not one that could be made without Kevin Bacon), so it all seems sort of bizarre. The Intouchables is the latest Olivier Nakache film which tells the comically dramatic story of a wealthy quadriplegic man hiring a poor man from the projects to take care of him (Review here). Oh, no »

The Top 5 Lego Video Games

25 May 2012 7:09 AM, PDT | Obsessed with Film | See recent Obsessed with Film news »

With the release of the Lego Batman 2 video game fast approaching (which I am massively excited about) and release date rumours for Lego Lord of the Rings (which I am even more excited about) I have decided to take a look at what I feel are the 5 best entries in the Lego video game franchise to date.

So far, we’ve had the caped crusader, 2 Indiana Joneses, 2 Harry Potters, a Pirates of the Caribbean, and 3 Star Wars titles, but which will make the list?

Here goes nothing…

5. Lego Indiana Jones (June 2008)

“Snakes? Why did it have to be snakes?!”

This entry was the first to give me an insight into the fear that the little block formed characters could feel, as I regularly saw our Indy quivering in his Alden 405 boots. And this wasn’t the only thing he did in his Alden 405’s: he takes on the Nazis in Raiders of the Lost Ark, »

The Hey U Guys Cinema Release Round-up : 25th May

25 May 2012 5:30 AM, PDT | HeyUGuys.co.uk | See recent HeyUGuys news »

Sacha Baron Cohen’s The Dictator finally unseated The Avengers from atop of the UK Box Office standings this week after a barnstorming opening few days that was no doubt aided by plenty of  surprisingly positive reviews. The Raid had an impressive showing too coming in 5th overall this past week which isn’t bad for an ultra-violent Indonesian martial-arts movie!

This weeks big release is the third outing for the Men In Black with Josh Brolin joining Tommy Lee Jones and Will Smith in the intergalactic fight against alien invasion. Sony will be expecting big things from the Mib and it’s undoubtedly one of their tent pole blockbusters of the summer. After the damp squib that was Men In Black 2 however, there was hardly a major public demand for a third installment so it remains to be seen whether there will be sufficient interest. Nevertheless, if Smith and Jones »

24 May 2012 8:01 PM, PDT | Monsters and Critics | See recent Monsters and Critics news »

Johnny Depp had responded to critics of his sign language abilities in Paul Mccartney's latest video. The 'Dark Shadows' actor appears alongside 'Black Swan' actress Natalie Portman on the short called 'My Valentine'. However experts slammed the 48-year-old star for misinterpreting key words in the promotional film he did for The Beatles member.

Gabriel Garko: Rudolph Valentino

24 May 2012 12:34 PM, PDT | Alt Film Guide | See recent Alt Film Guide news »

Gabriel Garko (photo) will play Rudolph Valentino (aka Rodolfo Valentino in places like Italy and Brazil) in a two-part Italian TV movie. To be directed by Alessio Inturri for Mediaset, the Valentino project is reportedly to be filmed this year in both Italy and the United States. Gabriel Garko, who’ll turn 38 next July 12, has worked steadily on Italian television. His feature-film appearances, however, have been sporadic. Most notable among those were supporting roles in Ferzan Ozpetek’s gay/bisexual drama Le fate ignoranti / The Ignorant Fairies (2001) and Franco Zeffirelli’s Callas Forever (2002). In terms of movie fandom, the Italian-born Rudolph Valentino was the George Clooney / Robert Pattinson / Johnny Depp / Zac Efron of the early-to-mid-’20s. One of Hollywood’s earliest superstars, Valentino’s movie career skyrocketed in 1921, after he was featured in Rex Ingram’s blockbuster The Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse and in George Melford’s The Sheik. »

Tim and Eric's Billion Dollar Movie Blu-ray Review

24 May 2012 9:42 AM, PDT | TheHDRoom | See recent TheHDRoom news »

It seems the world is made up of two kinds of people. There are those that absolutely love and adore Tim Heidecker and Eric Wareheim, and those that think their brand of "anti-comedy" is awful, unfunny and, in some instances, a preview of what hell will be like.

I myself am the former. Being as such, Tim and Eric's Billion Dollar Movie was assuredly made for me. Well, most of it, anyways.

It's easy to have been skeptical from the get go as to how Tim and Eric would pull off taking their 15 minute long TV show Tim and Eric Awesome Show, Great Job! and making an entire movie out of their personal brand of comedy. The secret is that Billion Dollar Movie actually has a plot.

The movie begins, after a series of short quick bits, with a fake film that Tim and Eric have made with a billion »
