Hamilton and Favreau Join “Iron Man 3″
25 May 2012 12:22 PM, PDT | FamousMonsters of Filmland | See recent Famous Monsters of Filmland news »
No, Favreau isn’t going to direct Iron Man 3. Shane Black (Kiss Kiss Bang Bang) has that job. But Favreau has signed on to return as Tony Stark’s bodyguard (and comic relief) Happy Hogan, according to Hollywood Reporter.
To add to the cast, Variety reports that Ashley Hamilton (Sunset Beach) is in talks to play a villainous cyborg Firepower who works for the government. It’s a small role for the son of George Hamilton (and apparent stepson to Rod Stewart), and joins James Badge Dale (The Pacific) who plays Savin, Rebecca Hall in an undisclosed role, and Ben Kingsley (Gandhi) may or may not be the Mandarin. They of course will be joining Robert Downey Jr. and Gwyneth Paltrow to round out a pretty sweet cast.
Iron Man 3 will hit theaters May 3rd, 2013 (my sister’s birthday, for those keeping score). »

Fanboy Fix: 'Iron Man 3' Adds Firepower, Jon Favreau Returns; 'Thor 2' Adds Another Villain
25 May 2012 11:35 AM, PDT | Fandango | See recent Fandango news »
Iron Man 3 is quickly assembling a gauntlet of villains for Tony Stark. Sir Ben Kingsley is still rumored to be the lead villain, The Mandarin, but it seems the more, the merrier. The latest addition to the cast comes in the form of George Hamilton's son, Ashley Hamilton, as the villain Firepower. Essentially, Firepower is another guy in a metal suit, but created by Edwin Cord, a rival businessman to the currently environmentally friendly Tony Stark. William Sadler has also joined the cast, although Latino-Review failed to say who he was playing. The site says the actor was present during a costume fitting with Guy Pearce, who is playing scientist Aidan Killain. Jon Favreau will also return in the role of Happy Hogan and as we reported yesterday, the three-quel got a budget...

Movie News: Supernatural ‘Apparition’ Trailer; Marvel Adds Villians to ‘Thor 2’ and ‘Iron Man 3,’ and More
25 May 2012 8:49 AM, PDT | Movies.com | See recent Movies.com news »
More Marvel Villains: Just when you thought Marvel had enough villains to go around, word arrives that the great Mads Mikkelsen (villain in Casino Royale, above) is in talks to play an unidentified villain in Thor 2 and Ashley Hamilton (son of George Hamilton) is in talks to play the villianous Firepower in Iron Man 3. Both movies already have other villains on board, but we guess you can’t have too many villains in superhero movies. [Variety / Showblitz] Super Secret Sci-Fi: Warner Bros. would be happy to tell you about their new super secret sci-fi project, but then they’d have to kill you. All that’s known about the studio's project is that it’s entitled The Wind, it’s set in a “space colony,” and David Koepp (War of the Worlds...

Mads Mikkelsen (Casino Royale) is in talks to star as the villain in Thor 2 with details on what character still unclear as Tom Hiddleston will still have a big part as the franchise antagonist, Loki. Production on the pic is set to get underway this summer with Alan Taylor ("Game of Thrones") directing for a November 15, 2013 release. [source] Gary Oldman (The Dark Knight Rises) is set to join the cast of Jose Padilha's RoboCop remake as Norton, the scientist who turns Officer Alex Murphy (Joel Kinnaman) into Robocop and finds himself torn between the ideals of the machine trying to rediscover its humanity and the callous needs of a corporation. The film is expected to begin filming in September in Toronto for an August 9, 2013 release. [source] It would appear Red 2 is attempting to become the even older version of The Expendables 2 as Anthony Hopkins is now in talks »

Ashley Hamilton is Villainous Firepower in Iron Man 3
25 May 2012 3:21 AM, PDT | WorstPreviews.com | See recent Worst Previews news »
Ashley Hamilton (Beethoven's 2nd, "Dancing With the Stars"), the son of George Hamilton and a personal friend of Robert Downey Jr, is in talks to join the cast of "Iron Man 3" as the villainous Firepower. The role is considered small. The character seems like a good fit, considering all the rumors. Firepower is an experimental government armored suit piloted by Jack Taggert (Hamilton). At one point, he was enlisted by the Mandarin and Zeke Stane to destroy Tony Stark. And Zeke Stane is the son of Obadiah Stane, Jeff Bridges' character in the first film. Meanwhile, "Iron Man" director Jon Favreau updated his Twitter account with a photo showing that he'll return to play Happy Hogan, despite the fact that Shane Black is directing the third installment. "Iron Man 3" stars filming this months in North Carolina and will hit theaters on May 3rd, 2013. Favreau's Photo: »
Jon Favreau Returning to Iron Man 3 as Happy Hogan
24 May 2012 9:55 PM, PDT | Upcoming-Movies.com | See recent Upcoming-Movies.com news »
With production scheduled to start this month in North Carolina, writer/director Shane Black continued to round out the supporting cast on Iron Man 3, the latest film in the Marvel Studios franchise starring Robert Downey Jr. as billionaire scientist Tony Stark. Earlier today, The Hollywood Reporter confirmed that Ashley Hamilton, the son of veteran actor George Hamilton and a close friend of star Downey Jr., joined the film as the villain called Firepower, a member of a secret government project that develops a robotic suit capable of battling Iron Man. »
'Iron Man 3' Adds Another Villain with Ashley Hamilton as Firepower
24 May 2012 7:01 PM, PDT | firstshowing.net | See recent FirstShowing.net news »
It sounds like Tony Stark is going to have his hands full in Iron Man 3. Not only has Ben Kingsley been cast as a villain in the Marvel sequel starring Robert Downey Jr., but James Badge Dale's role as Eric Savin, a Lieutenant Colonel in the U.S. Army put in charge of Project: Ultra who later becomes Coldblood after stepping on a mine and having cybernetic surgery performed on him, is said to be a bad guy, too. Now it sounds like there's one more adversary for Iron Man to blast away as Variety reports Ashley Hamilton, son of George Hamilton, and personal friend of Downey, will play Firepower, another cyborg villain. In the comics, the villain's origin lies in Jack Taggert, who is also part of an experiment and sent on a mission, aptly named Project: Firepower, where he's the pilot of an experimental armored suit.

Iron Man 3 - Ashley Hamilton In Talks For Role of Firepower
24 May 2012 5:30 PM, PDT | GeekTyrant | See recent GeekTyrant news »
Shane Black has found one of the villains for Iron Man 3. Variety reports that Ashley Hamilton is in talks to play the small part of government cyborg Firepower. You may recall that in the comic books, the character is the pilot of an experimental armored suit under the secret mission dubbed Project: Firepower. He eventually uses the suit to battle Iron Man.
Hamilton is not only the son of George Hamilton, but the stepson of singer Rod Stewart. He is also a personal friend of Robert Downey Jr., but this would mark the first time they have worked together. Hamilton appeared on the ninth season of Dancing with the Stars before becoming a correspondent on Extra.
Production is set to start this month with Black at the helm of a script he co-wrote with Drew Pearce. The story will be a blend of elements from Warren Ellis' six-issue Iron Man: Extremis, »

'Iron Man 3' Gets Villain Firepower Courtesy Of Ashley Hamilton While Jon Favreau Returns; Mads Mikkelsen Is 'Thor 2' Baddie
24 May 2012 4:49 PM, PDT | The Playlist | See recent The Playlist news »
The son of George Hamilton, stepson of Rod Stewart, former competitor on "Dancing With The Stars" and a correspondent on "Extra"....listen, we know Marvel is thrifty, but this is pretty ridiclous...
But believe it or not, Ashley Hamilton -- one of People's most beautiful people in the world sometime in the '90s (hilariously, even IMDb can't be bothered to find out when) has joined "Iron Man 3" as the villain Firepower. To Wikipedia! Essentially, Firepower is another guy-in-a-metal-suit-with-weapons, the brainchild of Edwin Cord, rival businessman to the currently treehugging Tony Stark. Or depending on which storyline you're using, he's government agent who tangles with War Machine instead of Iron Man. Either way, Ashley Hamilton. Man, after losing Jessica Chastain, that pendulum just swung way back the other way....
Anyway, the Drew Pearce-penned, Shane Black-directed movie starts shooting this month and we presume "Extra" will have all the juicy gossip. »

Iron Man 3 May Be Adding Ashley Hamilton As Firepower
24 May 2012 4:22 PM, PDT | cinemablend.com | See recent Cinema Blend news »
Just a few minutes ago, while writing up an article about how Casino Royale's Mads Mikkelsen could play the villain in Thor 2, I noted that Iron Man 3 has been hogging all of the news coming out of Marvel. So of course now that the big Thor news is out there we have yet another casting story for the Iron Man sequel- and it's a weird one. Variety is reporting that actor Ashley Hamilton is now in talks to play the villain known as Firepower in Iron Man 3. The character in the comics is a corporate rival of Tony Stark's who builds an armored suit for the government (under Project: Firepower) and then uses it to battle the titular hero. Hamilton is the son of George Hamilton and was a performer in the 2009 season of Dancing With The Stars. The third movie in the Iron Man series »

Alice Cooper talks about his 'Dark Shadows' cameo -- and his many other memorable onscreen adventures
3 May 2012 8:40 AM, PDT | EW - Inside Movies | See recent EW.com - Inside Movies news »
It doesn’t come as a huge surprise to discover horror movie-lovers Alice Cooper and Tim Burton had plenty to talk about when the rocker turned up to film a cameo in the director’s new, Johnny Depp-starring movie Dark Shadows. “We had dinner one night in London and we both knew every point of reference,” Cooper recalls. “If he would say, ‘Suspiria’ I would say ‘Dario Argento.’ I see the humor in horror as much as Tim or Johnny does, so we really do fit together.”

The Essentials: The Films Of John Milius
12 April 2012 7:04 AM, PDT | The Playlist | See recent The Playlist news »
All those who complain about the liberal domination of Hollywood have never come across John Milius. A film school pal of George Lucas and Steven Spielberg, Milius had tried to join the Marine Corp, but was turned away due to his asthma. Instead, he channeled his frustrations into both a life-long obsession with firearms (he was paid for "Jeremiah Johnson" in antique weaponry, and has served on the NRA Board of Directors) and making some of the most masculine, testosterone-filled movies of all time, both as an acclaimed writer and as a director. The basis for both Paul Le Mat's character in "American Graffiti" and Walter in "The Big Lebowski" -- the Coens are friends of Milius, and offered him the part of Jack Lipnick in "Barton Fink" -- he's one of film history's most singular, colorful characters.
He might not have had the overwhelming success of Lucas or Spielberg, »

In the Oscar-Nominated 'God is the Bigger Elvis,' a Starlet Trades In Her Fame for a Habit
4 April 2012 9:53 AM, PDT | Indiewire Television | See recent Indiewire Television news »
Dolores Hart was an actress whose career was on the rise and who was engaged to marry an adoring fiance when she chose to enter the Abbey of Regina Laudis in Bethlehem, Connecticut and begin an existence as a Benedictine nun. Directed by Rebecca Cammisa (of 2009's "Which Way Home"), the Oscar-nominated short documentary "God Is the Bigger Elvis" uses Hart's story as a way to gentle examine what would lead a woman to choose the cloistered, strict lifestyle of a monastery in the contemporary age. The film, which premieres on HBO this Thursday, April 5th at 8pm, knows it has an almost too-good-to-be-true subject in Hart, who's become Mother Prioress of the abbey and is a warm, twinkly-eyed presence. She was a woman who seems to have had everything, including beauty, love, contract offers and roles alongside Montgomery Clift, George Hamilton and Robert Wagner, as well as, of course, »

Carrie White: It's The Little Things In Life That Count
13 March 2012 11:22 AM, PDT | Aol TV. | See recent Aol TV. news »
Friday night socializing events aren't my favorite. I work Saturdays, and my recovery time isn't what it used to be. But Jeff West, my dear friend, is back in town after working a few years in Ojai. And it's his birthday.
The party is in the Penthouse lounge -- coincidentally called The West -- at the Angelino Hotel, the new face of the circular Holiday Inn on Sunset off the 405 where Jeff West rules the roost. He invited many of his old pals from the days when he and the Condon Brothers owned The Pink, a club in Santa Monica. I couldn't wait for the reunion. The Pink had been the best dance spot in L.A. from the mid-'80s to the mid-'90s. I had a drink with Charles Bukowski there, met Iman, and re-met David Bowie there. I danced every night there... no matter how hard I »

Has a Trailer Synopsis Emerged for Tim Burton’s ‘Dark Shadows’?
17 February 2012 8:34 AM, PST | Destroy the Brain | See recent Destroy the Brain news »
I think it’s fair to say that there is a little bit of fear in the air surrounding Tim Burton’s upcoming Dark Shadows. This fear does not stem from the ghastly sight of vampire Barnabus Collins; though that debate does rage on regarding the art department’s choice of make-up design. However this fear does come from the fact that Not One single teaser trailer or clip has been released as of yet from the film which is set to come out on May 11. This is almost somewhat unheard of in Hollywood. Months are typically devoted to marketing a film to raise the hype meter and to gather a fanbase who is familiar with the story, characters, and look of a film. Given the absence of footage from what is clearly an anticipated film for our readers and Tim Burton fans around the world, it brings me some »

Gael García Bernal: Zorro Reboot
16 February 2012 5:02 PM, PST | Alt Film Guide | See recent Alt Film Guide news »
Gael García Bernal is keeping himself busy. According to Variety, García Bernal is attached to star in the futuristic Zorro reboot Zorro Reborn for 20th Century Fox. He's also to be featured opposite Will Ferrell and Diego Luna in Matt Piedmont's comedy Casa de mi Padre, and in Nicole Kassell's A Little Bit of Heaven, with Kate Hudson and Peter Dinklage. And that's not all: García Bernal is reportedly planning on making a documentary about immigration, and is attached to star as Panamanian boxer Roberto Duran in Jonathan Jakubowicz's Hands of Stone, opposite Al Pacino and Ryan Kwanten. Now, Variety explains that Zorro Reborn will be quite different from the Zorro of Tyrone Power, Frank Langella, Antonio Banderas, or Guy Williams. (Or George Hamilton, for that matter.) For starters, Zorro Reborn will not be set in Old California, then a part of Mexico. Nor will Zorro be a light-hearted sword fighter. »

Actor-Turned Nun To Wear Habit At Oscars
15 February 2012 2:30 PM, PST | Huffington Post | See recent Huffington Post news »
Nearly 50 years after leaving Tinseltown to become a cloistered Benedictine nun, Mother Dolores Hart, who co-starred with Elvis Presley in 11 movies, is returning to Hollywood to appear at the Academy Awards next Sunday. And she'll be wearing her religious habit.
Mother Dolores, 73, is the focus of "God Is the Bigger Elvis", an HBO documentary nominated in the best documentary short category.
The film documents Hart's unusual journey from starring in dozens of Hollywood films to becoming Prioress of the Benedictine Abbey of Regina Laudis in Bethlehem, Conn., where she acts as spiritual counselor to 38 cloistered nuns, Sojourners reports.
"It will be so nice to be back at the Oscars. It's such a fun night," Hart told USA Today. "The last time I was there was in 1959, when I was a presenter. This will be different."
Back then, Hart was a 21-year-old rising starlet who had already starred in films alongside Elvis Presley, »

Nicolas Cage interview: Ghost Rider: Spirit Of Vengeance, stunts, and playing Johnny Blaze
13 February 2012 7:13 AM, PST | Den of Geek | See recent Den of Geek news »
Ahead of the UK release of Ghost Rider: Spirit Of Vengeance, Duncan met with the legendary Nic Cage to chat about the film, stunts, and much more...
Nicolas Cage has been a tremendously important part of my life for over two decades now, so I can happily tell you that being given the rare opportunity to interview the man himself, one on one, for what ran to seven and a half minutes, almost ended me.
Despite being in the fortunate position where I’ve interviewed many of my heroes, I still have no sense of complacency, resulting in a rather large amount of adrenaline in the build-up to the actual event.
In the moments before meeting The Cage, though, I was so nervous that, when asked to write down my feedback from the Ghost Rider: Spirit Of Vengeance screening the night before, my hand was shaking so much that I couldn’t write a thing. »
