Kanye West's Project Blocked By Police

13 hours ago | Huffington Post | See recent Huffington Post news »

Kanye West reportedly ran into trouble with the Houston Police Department on Friday night.

The 35-year-old rapper had planned a projection of his "New Slaves" video on the city's Rothko Chapel, a non-denominational sanctuary. The chapel was one of three places that "New Slaves" was to be shown in the city.

The projection on the Rothko Chapel was shut down by police, The Houston Chronicle reports. Members of the crowd who had gathered to watch the video were reportedly told to leave as they could face charges for trespassing.

West has been promoting his "New Slaves" single by showing it on the sides of buildings across the globe. He first debuted the track last week by showing video of his face performing the song on iconic buildings such as Chicago's Wrigley Field.

"New Slaves" is one of two new songs that West has recently released. He also performed a track »

Trailer for ‘Ain’t Them Bodies Saints’

24 May 2013 1:30 PM, PDT | LatinoReview | See recent LatinoReview news »

A trailer for Ain’t Them Bodies Saints has been released.

 Synopsis:

“Ain’t Them Bodies Saints” tells the story of an outlaw who, in the 1970s, escapes from prison and sets out across the Texas countryside to reunite with his wife and the daughter he never met. Along the way, however, his past starts to catch up with him. 

The film is directed by David Lowery and stars Rooney Mara, Ben Foster and Casey Affleck.

This is a supremely talented cast. Affleck was great in Gone Baby Gone (2007). Mara showed range in The Girl With The Dragon Tattoo (2011) and I’ve been a fan of Foster since his role as an outlaw in 3:10 To Yuma (2007).

Ain’t Them Bodies Saints Trailer: Rooney Mara Loves Casey Affleck and Shooting Cops (Join the Club)

24 May 2013 12:00 PM, PDT | Vulture | See recent Vulture news »

After seeing the To the Wonder trailer, did you say to yourself, "I can never get enough of watching an Affleck and a pretty woman romantically frolic in a cinematic field?" If so, Ain't Them Bodies Saints offers a new Affleck (Casey), a new woman (Rooney Mara), and a new field (wheat). The David Lowery–directed film garnered a lot of buzz coming out of Sundance and is playing at Cannes. In it, Affleck and Mara play a young outlaw couple who get separated when Affleck goes to prison. It's set in the seventies — apparently, everyone didn't have Saturday night fever. The film opens on August 16, so wear all white, because you'll only have two more weeks before the Labor Day fashion police getcha. »

Six Steps To Stardom: Remember When Bradley Cooper Asked Sean Penn A Question?

24 May 2013 5:16 AM, PDT | Huffington Post | See recent Huffington Post news »

Bradley Cooper recently reflected on this purple patch in his career in a chat with the HuffPost, saying: "I feel very fortunate. This is a wonderful time in my life. No question about it. And I just wake up every day and make sure I enjoy the hell out of it."

It's understandable. In four short years, the Philadelphia-born star of 'The Hangover 3', in cinemas this week (you can read our Review here), and its lucrative predecessors has seen his status change from that of rom-com eye-candy to acting credibility, to rank him alongside peers such as Ryan Gosling, Christian Bale and Leonardo DiCaprio. An Oscar nod this year for 'Silver Linings Playbook' only confirmed that he has come a long way from the tousle-haired student nervously asking Sean Penn a question in The Actors' Studio (see video below). Here's how he's done it...

'Dazed and Confused' sequel in the works, says Richard Linklater

23 May 2013 10:23 PM, PDT | Digital Spy | See recent Digital Spy - Movie News news »

Dazed and Confused director Richard Linklater has revealed that he is working on a follow up to the 1993 coming-of-age comedy.

The original movie featured a large ensemble cast including Matthew McConaughey, Renée Zellweger, Ben Affleck, Milla Jovovich and Parker Posey.

Linklater announced his plans for the follow-up on Thursday (May 23) during a Reddit chat.

He described the forthcoming project to be more of a "spiritual sequel" and said that he does not plan to use the same characters.

Instead, Linklater said that he will produce a coming-of-age story that is more of a "college comedy", rather than taking the high school setting of the original.

He added that the Dazed and Confused follow-up will also feature "a big ensemble".

The Before Midnight director hopes to start production on the film sometime this fall.

Dazed And Confused Pseudo Sequel Planned

23 May 2013 1:10 PM, PDT | Access Hollywood | See recent Access Hollywood news »

Director Richard Linklater has been toying with a sequel to 1993's classic "Dazed and Confused" for a while - but will his planned follow-up include Matthew McConaughey, Ben Affleck and Parker Posey?

An announcement from the director on Wednesday had fans of the stoner movie momentarily putting down their bongs - but the planned movie is not an out-and-out sequel that follows the same characters, but something he's previously referred to as "spiritual sequel" to his high school coming of age story.

During a Reddit chat session this week, Linklater wrote that he was "hoping to make ...

'Twilight' dominates Teen Choice Awards nominations

23 May 2013 6:52 AM, PDT | EW.com - PopWatch | See recent EW.com - PopWatch news »

The sun has set (or risen?) on Summit Entertainment’s venerable vampire series — but even though it, like Robsten, is officially kaput, Twilight still holds a hypnotic power over people of a certain age. (That age is “young.”)

The last installment of the blood-sucking saga dominates the “first wave” of nominees at this year’s Teen Choice Awards, which single out the movies, TV series, music, fashion, comedians, athletes, and performers that resonate most with today’s 13- through 19-year-olds. The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn — Part 2 snagged seven nods, nine if you include star Taylor Lautner’s individual nominations for »

'Saturday Night Live' best host poll: And the winner is...

23 May 2013 6:00 AM, PDT | EW.com - PopWatch | See recent EW.com - PopWatch news »

This is how it generally works: Jay Pharoah or Jason Sudeikis screams “Live from New York, it’s Saturday Night!” The house band kicks in, the immortal Don Pardo announces the cast. And then, the stage door opens, and a smiling celebrity walks out towards the camera. You try and gauge her body language because what you really want to know is: Is this going to be funny? It’s late on Saturday night and you just need to know whether you’re going to watch this from start to finish right now… or whether you should go to bed »

Robin Williams's Creepiest Film "One Hour Photo" Has Trouble Developing

23 May 2013 5:36 AM, PDT | JustPressPlay.net | See recent JustPressPlay news »

When a comedic actor ventures into drama the results tend towards the unpredictable; for Robin Williams it's been a bumpy road, but an undeniably interesting one with Matt Damon and Ben Affleck's Good Will Hunting, the dramedy Patch Adams, the quasi-spiritual What Dreams May Come, and Bobcat Goldthwait's sentimentally cynical World's Greatest Dad (among quite a few others). He's played roles that run the gamut, but if you had to pin down the creepiest character he's ever undertaken, it's hard to argue with his portrayal of the emotionally scarred Seymour Parrish in the otherwise forgettable One Hour Photo. A few tremendous leaps of logic (sometimes called plotholes) and a sloppy attempt at explaining away Parrish's damaged mind, ultimately sabotage Romanek's offbeat thriller, but not before it manages to creep out the audience with how convincingly Williams plays the kindly stranger you wouldn't think about but who just might be stalking your family. »

FX’s ‘The Strain’ Adds More Cast Members

22 May 2013 10:24 AM, PDT | ScreenRant.com | See recent Screen Rant news »

One of the more intriguing projects on Pacific Rim director Guillermo Del Toro’s always-crowded slate is the FX-backed television adaptation of The Strain novel trilogy. Del Toro co-wrote the books – a unique spin on both the vampire and post-apocalyptic genres – with celebrated crime novelist Chuck Hogan (Prince of Thieves, adapted by Ben Affleck in The Town), and will oversee the TV series with Lost veteran Carlton Cuse.

Beyond the casting of House of Cards standout Corey Stoll in the lead role of Dr. Ephraim “Eph” Goodweather, news on this project has been light in the last few weeks, other than Del Toro’s confirmation that the series has gone straight into pilot production.

Now there’s a sudden wave of casting news, which is a definite signal that this is going forward. ...

Jennifer Garner Puts in Real "Work" on Set

21 May 2013 1:44 AM, PDT | Popsugar.com | See recent Popsugar news »

Jennifer Garner popped up on her Cleveland, Oh, set Monday to film Draft Day. She was joined by costar Denis Leary, who plays the Cleveland Browns head coach in the film about the team's struggle to land the No. 1 draft pick. When Jennifer and Denis weren't shooting scenes together, the actress laughed with crew members and got help adjusting her pencil skirt. Her office attire is fitting, seeing as she will take on the part of Kevin Costner's secretary in the football drama. Over the weekend, Jennifer addressed the meaning of work on a deeper level with a surprise Saturday Night Live appearance with husband Ben Affleck. Amid Ben's hosting duties, he invited his wife on stage to clear up his Oscar acceptance speech. A smiling Jennifer joked about calling their marriage a "gift" rather than work and ended her visit by thanking Ben and saying, "You're a lot of work. »
