London, Apr 25: Daniel Radcliffe flaunted his ping-pong skills on Sunday night at a wrap party for his new flick 'Kill Your Darlings'.
The 22-year-old, who has already given up boozing habit, has now found a healthy pursuit.
"Daniel had the whole party crowded around him as he challenged partygoers to table tennis," the Daily Express quoted a source at Slate Restaurant Bar 'n' Billiards in New York as saying.
Fellow cast members Elizabeth Olsen, Jennifer Jason Leigh and Kyra Sedgwick were present there to cheer him on. (Ani) »

'A Single Shot' Finally Moves Forward With Jeffrey Wright, Sam Rockwell & William H. Macy
27 March 2012 7:45 AM, PDT | The Playlist | See recent The Playlist news »
If "A Single Shot" sounds vaguely familiar, it's because it has been on our radar under various guises for some time now. A number of cast members have joined and left the project over the past couple of years, but David M. Rosenthal's film has now made it in front of cameras with Sam Rockwell and William H. Macy (who has stuck with the pic through various incarnations) taking lead roles.
However, the casting merry-go-round does not stop there. Jennifer Jason Leigh and Juliette Lewis, who were previously attached, have both left the project, Jeffrey Wright has joined the cast to replace the outgoing Forest Whitaker, and Jason Isaacs is also now expected on the Vancouver set. All this from a film that previously had Michael Fassbender, Alessandro Nivola, Emily Mortimer, Terrence Howard, Juliette Lewis, James Badge Dale, Juno Temple, Leslie Mann and Thomas Haden Church attached at various points, »

Ulu Grosbard obituary
23 March 2012 10:29 AM, PDT | The Guardian - Film News | See recent The Guardian - Film News news »
Stage and film director who helped launch Dustin Hoffman's acting career
It could be argued, with some justification, that the greatest achievement of the film and stage director Ulu Grosbard, who has died aged 83, was to have helped launch the acting careers of Dustin Hoffman, Robert Duvall and Jon Voight. It was Grosbard who had the prescience to see a special talent in them that had escaped others, and who gave them the chance to exploit it.
All three future stars were involved in Grosbard's production of Arthur Miller's A View from the Bridge at the Sheridan Square Playhouse in New York in January 1965, for which both Duvall and Grosbard won Obie awards. Duvall played the lead as longshoreman Eddie Carbone, the part which he described as "the catalyst of my career", while Voight was Rodolpho. Hoffman, then a struggling actor, was stage manager.

[First Look] Daniel Radcliffe Will ‘Kill Your Darlings’ As Allen Ginsberg
19 March 2012 2:32 PM, PDT | The Film Stage | See recent The Film Stage news »
It seems like we can’t go a few years without Allen Ginsberg popping up in a film. We saw James Franco portray the Beat Generation poet in Howl and David Cross a few years before that in I’m Not There, the latter of whom is playing another Ginsberg in the currently shooting Kill Your Darlings. We’ve got the first look at our lead Daniel Radcliffe on set, joined by David Carr (Dane DeHaan).
Michael C. Hall, Jennifer Jason Leigh, and Kyra Sedgwick also co-star in Darlings, a beat scene period piece from director John Krokidas and co-writer Austin Bunn that focuses on the inter-relationships between Ginsberg (Radcliffe), Jack Kerouac (Jack Houston) and Carr. Elizabeth Olsen is also signed to play Edie Parker, Kerouac’s then-girlfriend, and Ben Foster is on board to portray William S. Burroughs. Check out some photos below and more at Splash, for what »

Sorry, James Franco. Your brother Dave kicked box office butt this week in 21 Jump Street, and now Daniel Radcliffe is on track to erase the memory of you as Allen Ginsberg. Per People, set photos surfaced today of the former Boy Who Lived taking on a new mantle: The Boy Who “Howl”-ed. Click through for the first image!
In Kill Your Darlings, Radcliffe plays a collegiate-age Ginsberg just as he’s meeting influential fellow Beat Generation founders Jack Kerouac (Jack Huston) and Lucien Carr (Dane DeHaan). From the looks of it, Radcliffe is pitch-perfect as the tweedy Ginsberg… well, »

23 High School Movies That Get The Passing Grade
15 March 2012 1:17 PM, PDT | The Playlist | See recent The Playlist news »
Considering it's where most of us (bar the weird home-schooled kids) spend our crucial formative years, where we have our first fights, our first loves, our first tentative steps into adulthood, it's no surprise that high school has long been a popular setting for movies. A range of genres (though generally leaning towards comedy) have taken place in those hallways, particularly from the 1980s onwards, when John Hughes, among others, made an entire career out of the lives and loves of 15-18 year olds.
The latest film to head back to class is "21 Jump Street" (review here) the big-screen reboot of the '80s TV show, which stars Jonah Hill and Channing Tatum as youthful-looking cops who are sent back to high school in order to bust a drug-running ring. While you might assume this to be another lazy remake, you'd be very wrong, as Tatum, Hill, co-writer Michael Bacall, »

Watch Michelle Williams In 'A Thousand Acres'
27 February 2012 6:15 AM, PST | Huffington Post | See recent Huffington Post news »
Michelle Williams has come a long way since starring as Jen Lindley on "Dawson's Creek."

Williams lost the award to Meryl Streep at the 84th annual Academy Awards, but presenter Colin Firth still gave her a moment in the spotlight -- and dredged up one of her long-forgotten past roles.
While praising Williams's performance as Marilyn Monroe in "My Week With Marilyn," Firth mentioned the 1997 film "A Thousand Acres," where he joked that the young star was a mentor to him onset.
Despite being a critical and financial disappointment -- the film grossed just $7.9 million upon release in September of 1997 -- "A Thousand Acres" featured a highly decorated cast of well-respected actors.

The 10 greatest Rutger Hauer films that aren’t Blade Runner
22 February 2012 2:47 AM, PST | Den of Geek | See recent Den of Geek news »
From the 70s to the present, we look back through the sterling work of Rutger Hauer to bring you the actor’s 10 finest films that aren't Blade Runner...
For some, Dutch actor Rutger Hauer will forever be associated with a certain rooftop speech about tears in rain. But although his turn as doomed replicant Roy Batty in Blade Runner was a classic one, Hauer’s output before and since has been stunningly prolific. This list, therefore, is designed to highlight 10 of Hauer’s finest non-Blade Runner movies, with a particular emphasis on those that are lesser known – which is why we've gone for some older pictures rather than the more recent and mainstream, such as Batman Begins. And since this is Den of Geek, expect to find lots of action movies, horror, and low-budget sci-fi in the entries below.
One thing they all have in common, though, irrespective of »
Kill Your Darlings (Casting The Beats)
15 February 2012 12:00 PM, PST | FilmExperience | See recent FilmExperience news »
Ja from Mnpp here. It seems like it's the dream of every young actor to play one of the Beats - sensitive yet masculine fellows in sharp clothes with pre-praised snappy dialogue: what could go wrong? Well... they were kind of all having sex with each other for one, and that keeps the money-men away. So the budgets stay tiny, pre-production gets drawn way out, and names come and go, come and go. I've been following the news on one of these projects for awhile - Kill Your Darlings first blipped onto my radar back in 2009, when it was announced that Chris Evans was going to play Jack Kerouac. That's the sort of headline that grabs my attention, you see.
William S Burroughs, Lucien Carr and Allen Ginsberg
