Reed’s Bargain Bin: S1m0ne

6 July 2009 10:15 AM, PDT | From FilmJunk | See recent FilmJunk news

Reed’s Bargain Bin [1] is a recurring column where Reed Farrington tells us about a movie he bought for under $5, and whether or not he regrets the purchase. Despite the clever title and participation of Al Pacino, S1m0ne did not receive much attention from critics or movie theatre audiences when it came out in 2002. The director, Andrew Niccol, had some acclaim as a result of having directed Gattaca (a smart science fiction film about a physically defective human in a genetically manipulated world) and having written The Truman Show (a smart allegorical film about a man who's oblivious to the fact that his life has been manufactured for the purposes of a television show). S1m0ne also has a high concept idea behind it: a movie director creates a computer generated actor who becomes a star while only he knows that the actor is computer generated. I think I’ve had

'Venom' Screenwriters Honor Stan Lee

4 July 2009 9:10 PM, PDT | From CinemaSpy | See recent CinemaSpy news

So much attention has shifted to Spider-Man 4 these days, that it's easy to forget that a 'Venom' spin-off film is still a possibility. And ironically, even though Stan Lee had nothing to do with the villain's creation, writers Paul Wernick and Rhett Reese have written a cameo for him in their script nonetheless.

"Oh, yeah. Stan Lee is in it," Reese told SuperheroHype. "I feel like that's the one thing we can say. He does appear in our script, and we're very specific about where he is and why. May he live forever. Let's hope he's in many movies to come."

While Todd McFarlane holds the opinion that a film based upon a villain likely isn't a good idea, the possibility remains that a 'Venom' movie, properly executed, could do well at the box office. After all, horror films revolve around villains, remain huge...and

Why is Stan Lee in the Venom Spin-off?

4 July 2009 12:00 PM, PDT | From WorstPreviews.com | See recent Worst Previews news

Even though "Spider-Man 4" is being made, it seems that a "Venom" spin-off is also still a possibility. And while Stan Lee had nothing to do with the creation of the villainous character, writers Paul Wernick and Rhett Reese have revealed that they have written a cameo for him anyway. "Oh, yeah. Stan Lee is in it," Reese told SuperheroHype. "I feel like that's the one thing we can say. He does appear in our script, and we're very specific about where he is and why. May he live forever. Let's hope he's in many movies to come." "Venom" will likely be a big earner, but Todd McFarlane (real creator of the character) believes that a film based on a villain would likely not be very good. "I'm thinking about how they want to make anti-heroes nowadays," he said, citing Halle Berry's disastrous turn in "Catwoman" as an example.

Just three days after the sudden passing of Michael Jackson, the Bet Awards kicked off in Los Angeles, and during the two-hour red carpet extravaganza, artists and celebrities paid tribute to the fallen icon.

To begin the show, "106 & Park" hosts Terrence and Rocsi declared that the entire night would be a tribute to the life and legacy of Mj. "Trust me, Michael Jackson, we are gonna make you proud, baby boy!" said Rocsi.

"I mourn his death, but celebrate his life. That's what we're gonna do tonight," said Ne-Yo during an interview.

Ray J was effusive in his praise of the King of Pop. "The best ever," he said. "The best to do it. The best icon. I'm inspired right now.

‘Uncharted’ Video Game Adaptation On The Way

26 June 2009 11:05 AM, PDT | From ScreenRant.com | See recent Screen Rant news

Adding to the already extensive list of video game adaptations is Uncharted: Drake’s Fortune, an action-adventure game from back in 2007. Columbia Pictures are developing the game for the big-screen, with Kyle Ward hired to write the script. The film will be produced by Avi Arad, Charles Roven, Ari Arad and Alex Gartner.

 

In case you’re not familiar with the Uncharted video game:

Nate Drake who believes he has learned the whereabouts of El Dorado, the fabled South American golden city, from a cursed golden statue. The search becomes competitive when a rival hunter joins the fray, then is ratcheted up several notches when creatures — actually mutated descendants of Spaniards and Nazis — begin attacking those hoping to learn the treasure’s true secrets.

The Sony Computer Entertainment game sold one million copies in its first ten weeks of release alone.

Vanessa Hudgens Talks Wonder Woman, Catwoman And Ass-Kicking Women

25 June 2009 2:45 PM, PDT | From MTV Splash Page | See recent MTV Splash Page news

“High School Musical” star Vanessa Hudgens has become one of the most sought-after young women in Hollywood with upcoming turns in both the reimagined “Beauty and the Beast” film “Beastly” and Zack Snyder’s alternate-reality thriller “Sucker Punch.”

A self-professed fan of all things Snyder, Hudgens confessed to having watched “300” several times already when MTV News spoke with her on the set of “Beastly” — including a viewing of the action-heavy Frank Miller adaptation the previous night. Given that segue, we had to ask her: Are there any comic book characters or stories she’d like to bring to the screen?

“Wonder Woman?” she ventured, only to quickly launch into a story of the important role comics played in bringing her to the screen.

“Honestly, when I was a kid, one of the reasons my parents realized I loved showbiz was because I dressed up every single day in my Catwoman costume,

Hurricane Chris Takes ‘Halle Berry’ To The Louisiana House Of Representatives

25 June 2009 1:20 PM, PDT | From MTV Newsroom | See recent MTV Newsroom news

Louisiana rapper Hurricane Chris (of “A Bay Bay” fame) played his strangest venue yet yesterday (June 24): The floor of the Louisiana House of Representatives. Representative Barbara Norton called the rapper into the chamber and presented him with a proclamation honoring him for his work in the community and his success in music. Chris was brought up to a podium to say a few words, but rather than just say “Thanks,” he decided to give the group a taste of what he’s all about. He cued up his new single “Halle Berry (She’s Fine),” explained “we got a lot of different types of women, but if you feel like you look like Halle Berry, then you look like Halle Berry” and cranked up the track so he could rap over it from the microphone at his podium. The rest of the House seems relatively non-plussed; on the bright side,

Pfeiffer Wants To Play Catwoman Again

24 June 2009 11:56 AM, PDT | From wenn.com | See recent WENN news

Michelle Pfeiffer is calling on Batman Begins director Christopher Nolan to let her reprise her role as Catwoman in the Caped Crusader's next movie outing.

Pfeiffer played the feline superhero in 1992 movie Batman Returns.

She handed the role over to Halle Berry in time for a 2004 spin-off - but admits she'd love to reclaim the leather catsuit and join Christian Bale's Batman in a future film.

Pfeiffer tells Moviefone, "It would be really fun. I don't think that's going to happen. I think they like to get a new face for the different characters, and I understand it. But yeah, that was really fun. I had a good time."

22 June 2009 11:30 AM, PDT | From MTV Movies Blog | See recent MTV Movies Blog news

Last night was Spike TV’s Guys’ Choice Awards, at which Halle Berry received honors for her “Decade of Hotness.” Oy. Anyway, Berry shared a… ahem… “special” moment with Jamie Foxx when she kissed him passionately as he presented her award.

Foxx shared his thoughts on the incident in an interview with MTV. More importantly, he shared those thoughts while delivering pretty spot-on Mike Tyson impression. The clip kind of speaks for itself, so check it out below.

When the Spike Guys' Choice Awards aired Sunday night, men celebrated the beauty that is Oscar winner Halle Berry by honoring her with the Decade of Hotness award.

But it was Berry who used the awards show as a platform to show the world her comic side when she intensely kissed presenter Jamie Foxx, parodying the 2003 Oscars moment when Adrien Brody kissed her after winning the Best Actor trophy. The kiss and the show, which taped last month, made their big debut on Sunday.

And Foxx, as you might imagine, isn't complaining about it. "Halle Berry's very attractive and has very soft lips. I just really appreciated the fact that I got a chance, you know, because it was very intense," he told MTV News.

Jamie Foxx Chops It Up About Halle Berry, Mike Tyson And Kanye West

19 June 2009 1:18 PM, PDT | From MTV Newsroom | See recent MTV Newsroom news

When Jamie Foxx takes on hosting duties at the Bet Awards in Los Angeles on June 28, you can be sure to expect a bunch of jokes, even more jokes and a few more jokes for good measure. We got a taste of his humor yesterday when we headed down to the studios of Bet’s “106 & Park” (which is actually on 57th and 10th, but I guess that doesn’t have the same ring to it) to catch up with the actor/singer/comedian.

Foxx looked slick in a green leather bomber jacket, dark jeans, white Gucci sneakers and some dope Louis Vuitton sunglasses (it’s all in the details). He was in great spirits and joking with everyone in the room. Before the interview had even started, Jamie had me laughing at a funny story about how R&B singer Maxwell stole a girl from him at a club. (It

Lena Horne's Story Of Trailblazing Glory

Out the 23rd is Atria's "Stormy Weather: The Life of Lena Horne." Her voice was satin. Her theme song, "Stormy Weather." Sepia- toned, gorgeous, stunningly dressed, star of stage, music and film, she broke Hollywood's racial barriers in the '40s and '50s. At the 2002 Oscars, Halle Berry thanked Lena for blazing the trail.

A recluse in seclusion since 2000 -- author James Gavin quotes my reporting her life in a wheelchair -- she finally admits to the harshness of her being. She now says: "My kid left, my father left,

Boiling Point: And the Killer is…

15 June 2009 11:54 AM, PDT | From FilmSchoolRejects.com | See recent FilmSchoolRejects news

Twist endings have been around for a very, very long time but I'll always jump at a chance to point the finger at M. Night Shyamalan, because thanks to his Sixth Sense twist endings were pretty much requisite for a good part of the last decade. It's hard to come up with a good twist, but that didn't stop studios and writers from going ahead with shitty ones. I'm reminded of crappy twists most often when it comes to the reveal of the killer. Sure, we all figured it was probably the kid who supposedly died in the first act or maybe a relative of his. That's standard fare, so when people want to get a little more clever they reveal the bad guy to be none other than... the lead character! Or someone pretty close to it. What's got me remembering this right now is "Harper's Island" a show I'm certain few people are watching considering

Foxx: 'Berry Kiss Was A Joke'

14 June 2009 6:30 PM, PDT | From wenn.com | See recent WENN news

Jamie Foxx has brushed off critics of his impromptu kiss with Halle Berry at a recent U.S. awards ceremony - insisting their lip lock was a prank conjured up by the actress.

Foxx presented the sexy star with the Hottest Girl On the Planet award at Spike TV's 2nd Annual Guy's Choice Awards in Los Angeles last month, and they shocked the audience with a passionate on stage embrace.

The actor/singer is still mesmerised by their steamy session, but insists he didn't step out of line by kissing the star - who shares a 15-month-old daughter, Nahla, with partner Gabriel Aubry.

Foxx explains, "It was a joke. First, I want to let everybody know that I respect Halle Berry and I respect her relationship. But after she won the (2001) Oscar, Adrien Brody came up and laid a little tongue on her. So she decided to get me back, which I didn't mind at all."

And the Ray star admits he was so nervous before pulling Berry's prank, he nearly backed out at the last second.

He adds, "I almost froze but I said, 'Think quick Foxx,' and I got into it... she really gave it to me and I appreciate that."

Witherspoon Joins Celebrity Perfumers With In Bloom

12 June 2009 6:30 PM, PDT | From wenn.com | See recent WENN news

Reese Witherspoon is following in the fragrant footsteps of Halle Berry, Beyonce Knowles and Britney Spears by launching her own perfume.

The Legally Blonde star, who is a spokesmodel for Avon, will team up with the cosmetics firm's scent experts to create signature perfume In Bloom.

Witherspoon's fragrance will feature hints of gardenia, magnolia and jasmine, and the actress reveals she chose those specific ingredients because they remind her of home.

She says, "In developing In Bloom, I found myself drawn to the scents of my childhood in Tennessee. We had a great big magnolia tree in the back yard, and it's that beautiful white blossom that inspired the perfume.

"In Bloom is (also) indicative of where I am in my life today. I'm feeling very strong and independent, and so happy, so full of life. The fragrance truly captures that feeling - it's very sensual, very romantic and alluring."

In Bloom will hit stores in November.
