Isla, Mark, and Jesse Make Now You See Me a Family Affair

21 hours ago | Popsugar.com | See recent Popsugar news »

Isla Fisher donned a L'Wren Scott gown to link up with her costars Jesse Eisenberg and Mark Ruffalo at the NYC premiere of Now You See Me last night. The East Coast debut of the film also brought out cast members Michael Caine, Morgan Freeman, Woody Harrelson, and pregnant Mélanie Laurent. The event was somewhat of a family affair as Mark was accompanied by his wife, Sunrise Coigney, and their kids, Keen, Bella, and Odette, while Michael and Woody both had their wives by their sides on the carpet. Along with Now You See Me, Isla has also been been busy promoting The Great Gatsby. She spent time in the South of France alongside Leonardo DiCaprio and Carey Mulligan last week at the Cannes Film Festival, where they attended multiple press events including the big premiere that opened the festival.

Tom Cruise, George Clooney and More Star in Katrina Bowden's Hilarious Wedding Rehearsal Dinner Video—Watch!

21 hours ago | E! Online | See recent E! Online news »

What do George Clooney, Tom Cruise and Cameron Diaz have in common? They're just a few of the big-name stars who had nothing but nice things to say about now-newlyweds Katrina Bowden of 30 Rock and musician Ben Jorgensen. Well, kinda, sorta. Bowden's rep tells E! News that the above video was shown during the couple's rehearsal dinner, saying, "Yes, it's true and yes, it was hilarious." Thanks to a little editing magic, it appears as if the aforementioned folks and other A-listers such as Keanu Reeves, Morgan Freeman and Matt Damon were commenting on the newlyweds when in actuality they were not. "She's so beautiful," Cruise is seen saying as pictures »

5 Most Overlooked Performances In The Dark Knight Trilogy

22 May 2013 2:03 AM, PDT | Obsessed with Film | See recent Obsessed with Film news »

The Dark Knight trilogy has many memorable performances throughout each film. Whether it be actors who reprised their roles such as Christian Bale as Bruce Wayne, Michael Caine as Alfred or Gary Oldman as Commissioner Gordon, to actors who shined in their respective roles in only one of the films, such as Heath Ledger as the Joker or Aaron Eckhart as Harvey Dent… the trilogy is filled with examples of excellent portrayals.

However, there are performances throughout the trilogy that do not receive quite as much positive attention as they should get. Here are 5 performances that are overlooked in The Dark Knight trilogy…

 

5. Morgan Freeman (Lucius Fox)

Morgan Freeman’s depiction of Lucius Fox in The Dark Knight trilogy is one example of seeing an accomplished actor portray the same character in the trilogy. Fox is one character who had yet to be included in a Batman film before the first film in the trilogy, »

Cannes 2013: Mandela: Long Walk To Freedom Poster

21 May 2013 5:58 PM, PDT | EmpireOnline | See recent EmpireOnline news »

It's a brave man who portrays a real-life figure who has already been played on screen by Morgan Freeman, but Idris Elba has no shortage of guts. After all, he's also the one aiming to cancel the apocalypse. He’s starring as Nelson Mandela in Long Walk To Freedom and after the Weinstein Company's reveal in Cannes the first poster is now online. We don’t think any massive Kaiju make an appearance in this one, unless there’s something from his history that Nelson Mandela has really done well to hide. Instead the film, which takes its title from the main man’s 1994 autobiography, charts Mandela's childhood in a rural village, though his activist days and many years spent in prison, right up to his inauguration as democratically elected president of South Africa. So it’s definitely taking a different angle to Freeman and Clint Eastwood’s Invictus. »

Casting Couch: Diane Keaton and Morgan Freeman to Finally Eliminate Their One Degree of Separation, Anthony Hopkins Joins ‘Gotti,’ and More

21 May 2013 4:00 PM, PDT | FilmSchoolRejects.com | See recent FilmSchoolRejects news »

What is Casting Couch? It’s a rundown of recent news about actors getting new jobs. Today it’s mostly focused on handsome young fellows like Gael Garcia Bernal, Hayden Christensen, and Dylan O’Brien. Due to the fact that they’ve both been constantly working, prolific actors for an unmentionable number of decades, it’s kind of hard to believe that Diane Keaton and Morgan Freeman have never appeared in a movie together; but apparently that’s the case. There’s one for the trivia buffs out there. Now one for the news hounds: apparently that streak is about to be broken. Myriad Pictures has announced [via Coming Soon] that the duo are now set to co-star in a comedy called Life Itself, which will see them playing a married couple who decide to make a mint by putting the New York City apartment they’ve spent most of their lives in on the market, but »

New TV Spot for Now You See Me with Jesse Eisenberg & Mark Ruffalo – ‘The Debunker’

21 May 2013 7:00 AM, PDT | HeyUGuys.co.uk | See recent HeyUGuys news »

Louis Leterrier’s magician-based blockbuster thriller Now You See Me will be hitting theatres in the Us next Friday, and I’m incredibly excited about its arrival.

The film boasts one of the year’s best casts, and all that we’ve seen so far suggests that it’s going to be of the year’s best movies as well.

Summit recently released the opening four minutes, which should serve as more than enough to whet your appetites for more. And following on nicely from that comes a great new TV spot, not only giving us a look at Morgan Freeman’s character, the so-called Debunker, but also the explosive action and magic sequences we can look forward to seeing soon.

Now You See Me pits an elite FBI squad in a game of cat and mouse against “The Four Horsemen”, a super-team of the world’s greatest illusionists.

Oscars 2014: Predicting 10 Best Supporting Actor Nominees

21 May 2013 5:30 AM, PDT | Obsessed with Film | See recent Obsessed with Film news »

For me, the Best Supporting Actor category is the most difficult category to predict this far out from the actual nominations. This is not atypical either as this category is annually, almost without fail, the toughest to foresee. The reasons for my particularly foggy clairvoyant skills on this specific matter are two-fold.

First, given the types of movies being made in this day and age, the abundance of choice supporting roles with potentially Oscar-worthy prospects is just ridiculous. They’re as plentiful as water in the ocean, and this plethora of promising performers, while a boon for fans of cinema, is a nightmare for an Oscar protagonist such as myself trying to pull off the illusion that I retain some unique insight into these awards that your regular laymen could never hope to attain.

This year’s crop of potential players makes this job an especially Herculean effort because they include so many recognizable names. »

Win Passes To The Advance Screening Of Now You See Me In St. Louis

20 May 2013 5:48 PM, PDT | WeAreMovieGeeks.com | See recent WeAreMovieGeeks.com news »

Four talented magicians mesmerize an international audience with a series of bold and original heists, all the while pursuing a hidden agenda that has the FBI and Interpol scrambling to anticipate their next move in Now You See Me, a visually spectacular blend of astonishing illusions and exhilarating action from director Louis Leterrier (Clash of the Titans).

The Four Horsemen, a magic super‐group led by the charismatic J.Daniel Atlas (Jesse Eisenberg), perform a pair of hightech, high‐profile magic shows, first amazing audiences by remotely robbing a Paris bank while in Las Vegas, and then exposing a white‐collar criminal and funneling his millions into the audience members’ bank accounts, baffling the authorities with their intricately planned capers.

FBI Special Agent Dylan Rhodes (Mark Ruffalo) is determined to make the magicians pay for their crimes—and to stop them before they pull off what promises to be an even more audacious heist. »

TWC's Coming Attractions: Oscar 2014 Watch

20 May 2013 11:30 AM, PDT | Alt Film Guide | See recent Alt Film Guide news »

Cannes Film Festival 2013: Harvey Weinstein’s Academy Awards Preview Show (Photo: Fruitvale Station, with Michael B. Jordan) Harvey Weinstein’s Cannes Film Festival Coming Attractions Special, a showcase of upcoming The Weinstein Company releases, is now regarded as one of the Croisette’s key film events. Because it provides a hint at who or what will win the Palme d’Or? Get real. Even at Cannes, it’s all about the Academy Awards. This year, Cannes Official Competition Jury Member Nicole Kidman was Weinstein’s co-presenter. And no, there wasn’t any influence peddling involved. Kidman was there because she is the star of The Weinstein Company’s upcoming Grace of Monaco, in which she plays another K-named movie star, Grace Kelly. And let’s not forget that 11 years ago Kidman won a Best Actress Oscar for The Hours, distributed by — at the time — the Weinstein-ruled Miramax. Two movies »

Cory Hardrict Joins Morgan Freeman In Sci-Fi Thriller 'Transcendence' Starring Johnny Depp

20 May 2013 10:26 AM, PDT | ShadowAndAct | See recent ShadowAndAct news »

Cory Hardrict is a name that doesn't get mentioned often, when conversations are had about upcoming or even existing young black male actors. I'd readily admit that I haven't been watching his career as closely as I probably should; although I plan to invest time watching some of his most recent performances to catch up, ahead of roles in upcoming features, including this one, recently-announced. Hardrict has joined the cast of the sci-fi thriller Transcendence, which stars Johnny Depp. Morgan Freeman co-stars in the film, which is Dp Wally Pfister's directorial debut, based on a script by Jack Paglen, developed »

Summit Already Planning 'Red 3' Before 'Red 2' Even Opens, Because Old People With Guns Is Always Funny

20 May 2013 10:15 AM, PDT | The Playlist | See recent The Playlist news »

While the sequel to "Red," the 2010 action comedy that starred Bruce Willis, Helen Mirren, John Malkovich and Morgan Freeman as over-the-hill assassins, doesn't open until the middle of July, Lionsgate and producers Lorenzo Di Bonaventura and Mark Vahradian are already plotting a third film, with screenwriting siblings Jon and Erich Hoeber back for a third go-around (according to the Hollywood Reporter). "Thank god!" said nobody. "Red" was based on the comic book miniseries by Warren Ellis and Cully Hamner (although without much of the book's wit and explosive bursts of violence), the title standing for "retired extreme dangerous," and in its original film version, directed by Robert Schwentke, with a fair amount of visual flair. The end product of that film felt slightly watered down, with a number of concessions made to meet the seemingly impossible release date, like losing the distinctly funky music by Irish DJ and frequent Steven Soderbergh »

Morgan Freeman And Diane Keaton Team Up For The First Time Ever In Life Itself

20 May 2013 12:42 AM, PDT | cinemablend.com | See recent Cinema Blend news »

Morgan Freeman and Diane Keaton have had long careers, both of them have won Oscars, and both of them are so popular and prolific that you'd have to assume they crossed paths at some point, right? Nope. The two will be filming their first movie together this year-- and even better, they'll be getting romantically involved to do it. Myriad Pictures announced the two will star in Richard Loncraine.s comedy Life Itself, and they.ll play a long-married couple, so they.re really going to get some screen time together in a plot that sounds more enjoyable than most of the feel-good projects that Keaton usually gets herself into. The film is Loncraine.s first since 2009.s My One and Only, and he.s reteaming with that film.s screenwriter Charlie Peters (3 Men and a Little Lady), who adapted it from the much-loved novel Heroic Measures by Jill Ciment. »
