Michael Angarano Talks The Brass Teapot, Portraying a Real Relationship in a Fantastical Story, and Remaking Heat with Jason Statham
5 April 2013 8:23 AM, PDT | Collider.com | See recent Collider.com news »
In The Brass Teapot, John (Michael Angarano) and Alice (Juno Temple) are a small town couple in their ‘20s, who are very much in love, but also very broke. Struggling to make ends meet while their friends enjoy the good life, a mysterious brass teapot in a roadside antique shop is seemingly the answer to all of their problems, when it starts spitting money out of its spout. But, as its demands for appeasement become darker and darker, its existence is a reminder that you should always be careful what you wish for. At the film’s press day, actor Michael Angarano spoke to Collider for this exclusive interview about why this odd little film appealed to him, keeping the relationship very real amidst this fantastical story, how they got to play around a bit with the script, and how much he enjoyed shooting the emotionally abusive moments.

Michael Angarano Signs Up for ‘Heat’
20 March 2013 5:35 PM, PDT | LatinoReview | See recent LatinoReview news »
Michael Angarano has been cast in the remake of Heat. Don’t worry, it’s not a redo of Michael Mann’s masterpiece, but rather of the Burt Reynolds film from 1986.
Jason Statham is set to take over for Reynolds in the lead and Angarano will play Cyrus Kinnick, who was originally played by Peter MacNicol.
In the remake, just as in the original, Statham is a recovering gambling addict who make his money offering protection services.
Simon West (The Expendables 2) is directing from a script by William Goldman, who not only wrote the book the film is based on, but also the script for the ’86 flick.
Heat is set to hit theaters August 7, 2014.
One more thing, the gorgeous Sofia Vergara is also in the movie, which gives me the perfect excuse to include a pic of her.

Michael Angarano Joins Jason Statham In Heat Remake
20 March 2013 1:57 PM, PDT | cinemablend.com | See recent Cinema Blend news »
Have you ever stepped back to wonder who in the contemporary film landscape is 2010s' Burt Reynolds? Someone who excels at bonkers action sequences and radiates a dangerous sex appeal? If you're thinking Jason Statham then you're in line with the filmmakers behind Heat, a remake of the 1986 crime drama that starred Reynolds as Los Vegas bodyguard with a past as mercenary and serious gambling addiction plaguing his present. Last November, Con Air helmer Simon West signed on to direct, lining up Heat to be his third feature with Statham, following The Mechanic and Expendables 2. Since then casting for the rest of the remake's roles has kicked off, and Deadline reports Michael Angarano has been set to co-star. The 25-year-old actor who has had memorable appearances in Steven Soderbergh's genre-bending spy thriller Haywire and Kevin Smith's controversial Red State is set to take on the role that Peter MacNicol »

'Necessary Roughness': Dani In Therapy Over Love
24 January 2013 2:25 AM, PST | Huffington Post | See recent Huffington Post news »
"Necessary Roughness" picked up the action about a month later for the mid-season premiere. A month later meaning a month after that surprise kiss between Dani and Nico, that is. Even though it's been a month, the kiss didn't offer her any more clarity as to what she should do now. In fact, it pushed her into therapy herself.
"What scares me is that I’m caught between the man that I love," Dani explained to her therapist, played by Peter MacNicol. "And the man that I am dangerously attracted to." She basically said she feels stuck in between them.
Nico is exciting and dangerous, while her heart still belongs to Matt. But she and Matt are nowhere close to the same page, which makes Nico look even more attractive in the now.
Elsewhere, Juliette decided to take up the torch from her father and run the team, which should »

Necessary Roughness Review: Two Men, One Heart
23 January 2013 8:03 PM, PST | TVfanatic | See recent TVfanatic news »
It's 28 days past where we left the Necessary Roughness gang last summer - and Dani's got some strange "Frozen Fish Sticks" in her freezer. Oh, if that were her only problem.
Dr. Santino usually helps fix other people's messy lives, but this time it's her own life that needs fixing. So she's off to see old friend and colleague Dr. Gunnar.
I hope Peter MacNichol sticks around for awhile. I love how he won't put up with any of Dani's avoidance tactics that she uses when it comes to her own life.
According to Dr. Gunnar, I don't know means I don't want to tell you and anger is the consequence of being hurt. And best of all, he's forcing Dani to explore her feelings for Nico because as much as Dani's trying to tell herself otherwise, that kiss meant something.
She loves Matt but it doesn't change the fact »

Blu-ray Review: HBO’s ‘Game Change’ Triumphs with Brilliant Performances
11 January 2013 11:44 AM, PST | HollywoodChicago.com | See recent HollywoodChicago.com news »
Chicago – When the HBO film, “Game Change,” was first announced, it sounded rather unnecessary. Why would Alaska governor-turned-vice presidential candidate Sarah Palin’s overinflated celebrity deserve such a prestigious biopic? Wasn’t her TLC program, not to mention Tina Fey’s brilliant SNL parody, more than enough small-screen exposure for the oft-embarrassing politician?
Yet this film, superbly directed by Jay Roach, is less about Palin then it is about the superficial posturing that has taken over America’s political landscape. Mark Halperin and John Heilemann’s bestselling book of the same name explored how celebrity triumphed over substance during the 2008 election season, as Republicans scrambled to equal the game-changing candidacy of Barack Obama. Screenwriter Danny Strong centers his film on Steve Schmidt, the campaign strategist who backed Palin and lived to regret it.
Blu-ray Rating: 4.5/5.0
As played by Woody Harrelson, an actor who just gets better with every successive year, »
