'At 12, I swore I'd have my own film in the cinema'
29 December 2012 4:00 PM, PST | The Guardian - Film News | See recent The Guardian - Film News news »
In 2011 that film was Oscar winner The King's Speech. Now he is Oscar-tipped again for Les Misérables. Here the 'tough guy' director, who made his first film while still at school, talks about the epic he sees as a timeless 'anthem for the dispossessed'
It was almost two years ago that I first met Tom Hooper. He was with Colin Firth, and their film, The King's Speech – which Hooper directed and in which Firth starred – was weeks away from winning its Oscars. It was a heady occasion. An excitable Hooper did most of the talking (Firth detests interviews) and the film – about the struggle George VI had with his speech impediment when he came to the throne in 1936 – became the unlikely winner that delighted everyone who saw it: an impossible act to follow.
And yet, today, Hooper is attempting to trump it on an epic scale. He has taken on »

Gangster Squad - January 11th
Los Angeles, 1949. Ruthless, Brooklyn-born mob king Mickey Cohen (Sean Penn) runs the show in this town, reaping the ill-gotten gains from the drugs, the guns, the prostitutes and-if he has his way-every wire bet placed west of Chicago. And he does it all with the protection of not only his own paid goons, but also the police and the politicians who are under his control. It's enough to intimidate even the bravest, street-hardened cop. »

First Look At Jeff Bridges As a Sorcerer in The Seventh Son
3 December 2012 11:25 AM, PST | GeekTyrant | See recent GeekTyrant news »
Here's our first look at Jeff Bridges and Julianne Moore in the fantasy adventure film The Seventh Son. The movie was previously titled The Last Apprentice, which is based on the The Wardstone Chronicles book series by Joseph Delaney.
Bridges plays Master John Gregory, known as a "Spook" who imprisons an evil witch named Mother Malkin (Moore) uses some kind of crazy blood magic. I've seen Bridges play a lot of different characters over the years, and wear a lot of crazy outfits. But I don't recall ever seeing him dressed up as a medieval exorcist. That being said... he looks awesomely badass! Here's what the actor had to say about his character in an interview with USA Today,
He's an interesting cat. He's appreciated for keeping evil away, but he's also a frightening figure to the townspeople. When you mess around with darkness, some of that gets in you, »

First Images Of Fantasy ‘Seventh Son’ Starring Jeff Bridges & Julianne Moore
3 December 2012 12:00 AM, PST | The Hollywood News | See recent The Hollywood News news »
When I heard Jeff Bridges and Julianne Moore were reuniting, I was of course hoping for a The Big Lebowski reunion. However, their latest effort couldn’t be further from that seminal piece of work. Seventh Son is a fantasy adventure based on a Young Adult novel. Bridges plays a knight, Master John Gregory, who recruits a seventh son of a seventh son as his apprentice. Together they must battle Moore’s Mother Malkin, a witch whom was imprisoned centuries earlier.
Fantasy films are always difficult to set apart on their plots alone, so I’ll wait for a trailer before making a judgement as to whether this is something to be excited for. Bridges certainly seems excited, discussing his role and wearing those costumes:

9 August 2012 12:31 AM, PDT | The Hollywood News | See recent The Hollywood News news »
Yes, I know it could a spoiler in the title but really, it’s just a terrible play on words. However *Character Spoiler Alert* from Thn as we’ve discovered there are some set photos with certain familiar faces roaming the web. Any Doctor Who fan will know that usually, it’s very rare to see any behind-the-scenes photos before the series is released but the Christmas special (Episode 6 of Series 7) can be a different beast, with stars clambering for their moment to get into the Tardis. It’s already been announced that Brit acting hero Richard E Grant will play a part and there is also intrigue in space and time over which specific role, what do you think?
Add your comments below but just before, here are those stills…let the ideas of plot begin!

Doctor Who – Richard E. Grant and Tom Ward in Christmas Special
8 August 2012 4:37 AM, PDT | Boomtron | See recent Boomtron news »
Casting news for this year’s Doctor Who Christmas special has already begun to creep out, doing its job of eliciting excitement for the holiday event. Already we’ve heard the special would be the episode the Doctor is introduced to his new companion, played by the adorable Jenna-Louise Coleman, but there will of course be other guest stars. Richard E. Grant and Tom Ward have both been cast, which means we can begin the speculation as to who will be playing who, what kind of hijinks we can expect, and just how Christmasy can we expect this to be.
As reported by EW.com, you can expect to see Grant – interestingly, he played the Doctor once in a 2003 animated special, “Scream of the Shalka” – as the new villain in the special. Just look at that face of his. He doesn’t look like he would do well playing a good guy. »

Heinz urges Australia to ‘Bust out the Beanz’
2 August 2012 5:16 PM, PDT | Encore Magazine | See recent Encore Magazine news »
Gpy&R Melbourne has launched a new campaign for Heinz Beanz.
The campaign, which carries the tagline ‘Bust out the Beanz’, is a call for Australians to rediscover the famous food that is often left in the cupboard.
The TV ad is voiced by comedian Kim Gyngell, known for his work on Full Frontal and The Librarians.
Tom Ward, head of strategy and insights at Gpy&R, said: “We didn’t need to convince people to buy baked beans, or even Heinz Beanz. Every day Heinz Beanz move off the supermarket shelf, into the trolly and into the cupboard. The problem is that all too often that is where they stay, to the point that people will sometimes end up with two or three cans tucked away.”
The campaign breaks on Sunday, and runs until the end of the year.
