Ridley Scott's Moses Movie 'Exodus' Opens Dec 12th 2014, Fassbender's 'Assassin's Creed' On May 22nd 2015

11 hours ago | The Playlist | See recent The Playlist news »

We're closing on the mid-way point to the year, with several of 2013's biggest movies already in theaters, but as fast as films hit theaters, the studios nab future release dates sometimes years away, hoping to stake their claim on key territory. And last night, the release calendar just got three new additions across the next couple of years. First up is "Exodus," Ridley Scott's Moses movie that we, frankly, didn't realize was far enough along in the process to get to this stage. But clearly, the film has a greenlight, or something close to it, from 20th Century Fox, who've given it an awards-primed slot of December 12th, 2014. That's five days before the final "Hobbit" movie, "There And Back Again," and a week before Brad Bird's George Clooney-starring "Tomorrowland." Last we heard, Christian Bale was being courted to take the lead role in the film; presumably, »

Will the Star Trek Sequel Easily Surpass the Opening Weekend Box Office Take of Its Predecessor?

19 hours ago | Alt Film Guide | See recent Alt Film Guide news »

Star Trek Into Darkness box office: Solid or disappointing domestic debut? (Photo: Chris Pine as Captain Kirk and Zachary Quinto as Spock in Star Trek Into Darkness) J.J. AbramsStar Trek Into Darkness, starring Chris Pine as Captain Kirk and Zachary Quinto as Spock, has to date grossed $13.4 million in North America, including from 336 late-night Wednesday IMAX shows and all-day showtimes at 3,762 locations on Thursday. As explained by Ray Subers at Box Office Mojo, first-day figures may have been below par because Paramount Pictures changed Star Trek Into Darkness‘ release date last week — the Star Trek sequel was to have opened on Friday. For comparison’s sake: With $11.53m on Thursday proper, Star Trek Into Darkness had the 11th biggest Thursday opening ever (not adjusted for inflation). Its Thursday debut, in fact, fell way below those of other May releases, e.g., George LucasStar Wars: Episode III - Revenge of the Sith »

Amy Adams' Boobs More Shocking Than Bradley Cooper's Perm on Set of American Hustle

17 May 2013 6:12 PM, PDT | E! Online | See recent E! Online news »

The disco-era styles continue to steal the show on the set of David O. Russell's latest movie, American Hustle. For instance, Amy Adams is the essence of 1970s chic in a brown dress with a plunging V-neck that leaves little to the imagination while shooting a scene outside a federal building in New York. And, in this case, a hefty dose of cleavage would be about the only thing to steal thunder from Bradley Cooper's gotta-see-it-to-believe-it perm.  Without even having seen footage of the flick, we're thinking that at least American Hustle's hair and makeup team—also responsible for Jennifer Lawrence's bouffant and an unrecognizable Christian Bale's »

10 Painful Body Modifications That Made Great Performances Possible

16 May 2013 7:00 AM, PDT | FilmSchoolRejects.com | See recent FilmSchoolRejects news »

These days you’re not a true thespian until you’ve gone AIDS skinny at least once for a role or, failing that, Stay Puft fat. Researching the many time actors have opted to change their bodies for a role, it became clear how many lists like this seem to pop up on the internet. Almost all these lists rate the change by how much was lost or gained. In an attempt to be different, I’ve decided not to judge this by a number but rather how much apparent pain they went though. It’s more fun that way, and sometimes it involves more than one movie. To give you an example of what I mean, check out the starting point: 10. Christian Bale lost 62lbs for The Machinist, then gained 100 for Batman Begins It’s still seen as the most anyone has ever lost for a role – but according to Bale, it »

Does This Musical Need Kickstarter?

16 May 2013 5:55 AM, PDT | Huffington Post | See recent Huffington Post news »

New York — Duncan Sheik is part of an unusual campaign on Kickstarter: Not to get his musical "American Psycho" up and running. It's to make it killer.

The Almeida Theatre in London has already agreed to mount the world stage premiere of Bret Easton Ellis' novel this winter but Sheik wants to give it a $150,000 infusion.

The Kickstarter campaign, which ends May 24, will go to fund things like more musicians, better sets and top-notch lights. As of Thursday morning, it had raised $78,830.

"This allows us to up the ante in terms of what the production is going to entail," the Grammy- and Tony-winning singer-songwriter said. "I think it's about being able to do things in the space that make for a really cool immersive theatrical experience."

The 1991 novel – made into a movie starring Christian Bale – follows a homicidal New York yuppie named Patrick Bateman who is obsessed with high-end »

First official image from Knight of Cups

16 May 2013 3:40 AM, PDT | Flickeringmyth | See recent Flickeringmyth news »

Here is the first official image of Christian Bale (The Dark Knight Rises) and Natalie Portman (Thor: The Dark World) from Terrence Malick’s Knight of Cups, with the pair frolicking on a beach...

Not much is known about Knight of Cups, so it's anyone's guess what this means in the context of the film. However, rumours suggest it is about celebrities and excess. Though the film is currently in post production some footage will be shown at Cannes.

Knight of Cups also stars Cate Blanchett (The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey), Isabel Lucas (Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen), Antonio Banderas (The Skin I Live In), Wes Bentley (American Beauty), Imogen Poots (The Look of Love), Freida Pinto (Rise of the Planet of the Apes), Teresa Palmer (Warm Bodies), Ryan O’Neal (Bones), Jason Clarke (Dawn of the Planet of the Apes), Joe Manganiello (True Blood), Joel Kinnaman (The Killing) and »

15 iconic movie cars: Batmobile, DeLorean, Ecto-1, Aston Martin DB5, more

From Back to the Future's time-travelling DeLorean to Vin Diesel's Fast & Furious Dodge Charger, Hollywood history is littered with iconic cars and vehicles.

Movie stars such as Steve McQueen, Christian Bale and Sean Connery have all slammed down the accelerator for high-octane car stunts, while Sam Raimi has clung valiantly to his old '70s Delta 88, finding a place for it in each of his films (including the recent Evil Dead remake).

With Fast & Furious 6 speeding into cinemas, Digital Spy takes a look at a handful of automobiles that've left an indelible mark on the big screen.

First Look Image: Terrence Malick’s Knight of Cups with Christian Bale & Natalie Portman

16 May 2013 1:30 AM, PDT | HeyUGuys.co.uk | See recent HeyUGuys news »

The past few years have seen Terrence Malick become something of a prolific director, having previously spent years between his films. Malick’s upcoming work remains elusive as per his reputation, but with Cannes getting underway this week, the first official image from Knight of Cups, one of the two films he’s most recently been working on, has debuted online.

FilmNation will be showing the first footage of the film to foreign distributors over in Cannes, and THR have given us this rather brilliant first image of Natalie Portman and Christian Bale, to help those of us who aren’t foreign distributors get an early peek.

The plot is being kept largely under wraps, but it’s thought that the film is about celebrities and excess.

Bale and Portman starred on set alongside one of the most substantial ensemble casts of all time, joined by Cate Blanchett, Wes Bentley, »

Mystery is the name of the game when it comes to the films of Terrence Malick. Also see deep reflection, beautiful shots, and amazing casts. Today we have our first look at his next star studded flick, Knight Of Cups.

The first official still from Terrence Malick’s Knight Of Cups has been released online via The Hollywood Reporter, to tie in with the 2013 Cannes Film Festival. Footage from the film - which stars Christian Bale and Natalie Portman, as well as an eclectic cast that includes Cate Blanchett, Teresa Palmer and Antonio Banderas - will be shown to potential investors at the fest. Said to be a treatise on fame and excess, the first image doesn’t give much away with regard to the secrecy-shrouded plot. With Bale frolicking in the surf,...

Christian Bale And Natalie Portman Frolic In Terrence Malick's Knight Of Cups First Look

15 May 2013 9:18 AM, PDT | cinemablend.com | See recent Cinema Blend news »

While Terrence Malick is a source of inspiration for many cinephiles and film critics, he is a source of frustration for those of us whose job it is to cover news about his forthcoming features. Working in secret with scads of stars on films that's plots are often difficult to summarize even after you've seen them, the lyrical filmmaker presents a unique set of obstacles to bloggers. But thankfully, we're getting a first glimpse of his upcoming Knight of Cups, courtesy of THR. The image above is hitting the Cannes Film Festival in advance of FilmNation's screening of some of Knight of Cups' footage to entice foreign distributors. In it, you can see Natalie Portman and Christian Bale barefoot on a beach, both wearing smiles. And while we unfortunately have no details on what roles they play in this picture, we're at least glad for the reminder that Bale »

First Official Image from Terrence Malick’s Knight Of Cups Starring Christian Bale and Natalie Portman

15 May 2013 9:03 AM, PDT | Collider.com | See recent Collider.com news »

We've seen plenty of set photos from Terrence Malick's Knight of Cups, but now an official image has been released.  The image is a nice shot of a scene we previously saw in set photos with Christian Bale and Natalie Portman frolicking on a beach.  If you focus, you can almost see the lyrical cinematography and whispered narration.  There are few details on Knight of Cups other than it's about the Los Angeles movie business and features half of Hollywood.  In addition to Bale and Portman, the cast includes Cate Blanchett, Isabel Lucas, Antonio Banderas, Wes Bentley, Imogen Poots, Freida Pinto, Teresa Palmer, Ryan O'Neal, Jason Clarke, Joel Kinnaman, and Shea Whigham (hat tip to The Playlist for keeping count).  However, these are actors who have only been seen in set photos; we don't know who will make the final cut. We also don't know when Malick will have that final cut. »

The mystery film, of which all is known is the tagline of ‘A man, temptations, celebrity, and excess‘ stars Christian Bale, Natalie Portman, Cate BlanchettAntonio BanderasJoel KinnamanIsabel Lucas, Imogen Poots and Teresa Palma. That’s one foxy cast for the often pretentious director.

Now we have a couple of new images from the biopic of Hollywood legend Grace Kelly. Nicole Kidman plays the beauty in Grace Of Monaco, which will centre on her marriage and identity crisis during a political dispute between Monaco’s Prince Rainier III and France’s Charles De Gaulle. Which all played out in the uncertain French invasion of Monaco in the early sixties. Olivier Dahan directs the film co-starring Frank Langella, Tim RothDerek Jacobi and Paz Vega. »

First Look Photo: Bale & Portman in Terrence Malick's 'Knight of Cups'

15 May 2013 7:04 AM, PDT | firstshowing.net | See recent FirstShowing.net news »

Malick is back! Early last year we covered news that filmmaker Terrence Malick was in Austin filming not one, but two new movies at the Austin City Limits music festival. One of the actors he cast and was filming was Christian Bale. It was later confirmed that he was working on two separate projects, one known as Lawless (which had that title dropped), the other called Knight of Cups. While Malick is not at Cannes this year, FilmNation is showing footage from one of his films to sell and to build buzz THR has revealed the first photo. It's from Knight of Cups, which could be out this year. Of course, it's a typical Malick beautiful shot, with Bale and Natalie Portman running on the beach. But that's it so far. And we barely know the plot. Original reports hinted that the two new films from Malick, Knight of Cups and Fma Lawless, »

First Official Picture of Christian Bale and Natalie Portman in Terrence Malick's 'Knight of Cups'

15 May 2013 5:28 AM, PDT | Rope of Silicon | See recent Rope Of Silicon news »

Keeping up with the goings on with Terrence Malick and his two upcoming films is a full-time job, to the point I can no longer tell who is in what film and the actors begin cast aren't even sure they'll make the final cut. So, I've pretty much resigned myself to wait and see what happens with the end result before getting too invested. That said, it looks like one of his upcoming films, Knight of Cups, is moving along nicely as The Hollywood Reporter premiered the above first picture of Christian Bale and Natalie Portman in the new movie as FilmNation prepares to screen footage for foreign distributors. Co-starring Cate Blanchett, Ryan O'Neal, Imogen Poots, Teresa Palmer, Antonio Banderas and potentially many more, the film's plot has not been revealed, but the inspiration is said to be celebrities and excess. I know I'm going to be attending a footage »
