‘My Week with Marilyn’ interview with director Simon Curtis
1 December 2011 10:55 AM, PST | The Scorecard Review | See recent Scorecard Review news »
Working with Marilyn Monroe must have been quite a special experience for third assistant director Colin Clark, whose brief time with the star has turned into two memoirs, and now a film, titled My Week with Marilyn. Similarly, the experience of working with Oscar-nominated actress Michelle Williams portraying Monroe must have been something magical for first-time director Simon Curtis.
I sat down with Curtis in a roundtable interview to discuss working with Williams on her inevitably Oscar-nominated performance, his feelings about Monroe, and what film set he wishes he could witness just as Colin Clark did back in 1956.
My Week with Marilyn is now playing in select theaters.
What fascinates you most about the movie star and production system of the 1950s, and which you wanted to communicate that in the film?
My way into this film was reading Colin Clark’s diaries, and Clark seeing the details as to »

'Hunger Games' Casts District 1 Tributes And 'Nobody Walks' With John Krasinski In Today's Casting Call
20 April 2011 8:25 AM, PDT | MTV Movies Blog | See recent MTV Movies Blog news »
The names being called for "The Hunger Games" continues to grow by the day. Earlier this week it was announced that newcomers Amandla Stenberg and Dayo Okeniyi signed on to play District 11 members Rue and Thresh and that Elizabeth Banks was being circled to take on the role of chaperon Effie Trinket.
Now, as our friends over at Hollywood Crush reported, two more have joined in for the "Games" and much like Stenberg and Okeniyi, they are relative unknowns. Jack Quaid (son of Dennis Quaid and Meg Ryan) and TV actress Leven Rambin ("Grey's Anatomy") will star as the privileged District 1 tributes, Marvel and Glimmer. While this casting gets fans one step closer to a better idea of how the film will look, there are still nine more district slots that need to be filled, as well as major characters such as Haymitch and Prim.

Danes And Marsden Are Mom And Dad In 'As Cool As I Am'
18 April 2011 6:15 PM, PDT | NextMovie | See recent NextMovie news »
Wait a minute... Claire Danes is old enough to be the mother of a teenager?
Okay, before you freak out, rest assured that even though Claire is indeed playing the mom of a teen in "As Cool As I Am," the fact that she's so young herself is part of the whole premise. Whew.
"As Cool As I Am" tells the story of Lucy Diamond, the teen daughter of self-centered parents who married when they themselves were teenagers. Claire Danes and James Marsden have joined the cast as the young parents, according to The Wrap.
It seems like just yesterday that Danes was playing a teenager on "My So-Called Life" and Marsden was playing a teenager in "Disturbing Behavior" (remember that one? It kind of rocks, actually). But it wasn't yesterday... it was (gulp!) the '90s.
"As Cool As I Am," based on Pete Fromm's coming-of-age novel, will be directed by Max Mayer, »
