4 hours ago
Nicolas Winding Refn has discussed the reception for his new movie Only God Forgives.
The film, starring Ryan Gosling and Kristin Scott Thomas, was booed at its Cannes press screening and has had mixed reviews from critics.
When told of the press's boos by Vulture, Refn simply replied: "Oh, cool."
Asked if the idea of booing excited him, he continued: "I mean, how can I expect someone to not react like this when on one hand you are dropping what you do in everyone's face and at the same time saying, 'Love me, please', you know?
"You're going to get that. You know, great art - horrible thing to say - but art is meant to divide, because if it doesn't divide, it doesn't penetrate, and if it doesn't penetrate, you just consume it."
Speculating on the reasons for the reception, the director added: "People have so many strange opinions, »

X-Men: Days of Future Past will "not just be a sequel" to the previous films, Bryan Singer has said.

"It's not just another X-Men film," he told SFX.
"It's not just about the combined cast as there will be certain technologies and other stuff that we haven't seen before in the X-Men film.
"We wanted an opportunity to bring some of the favourite older and younger characters together. We also wanted to play with the notion of different times and stuff like the way that time affects destinies.
"It enables the film to not just be a sequel to First Class or X-Men 3, but to actually be its own thing."

'The Hangover 3' director Todd Phillips responds to critics
9 hours ago
The Hangover Part III's director has addressed the critics of his series.
Todd Phillips revealed that an after-credits scene is his response to detractors from the successful movie franchise.
"The way that we would respond to those critics - what we really wanted to do was do another wake-up movie," he told Vanity Fair. "But we thought that that would be short-sighted because we had this other idea.
"The real response we wanted to do was, 'They wake up in Rio and this, that, and the other thing happened to them'.
"But there is a little bit of a response to the critics at the end of this movie. If you stay through the credits, you'll see in typical Hangover fashion we have another big credit moment that I think everyone will enjoy.
"The criticisms were really about the structure - they didn't know how this could happen to the same guys twice. »
Man of Steel producer: 'Lois rescues Clark as much as he rescues her'
11 hours ago
Man of Steel producer Deborah Snyder has discussed Clark Kent and Lois Lane's relationship.
The upcoming reboot stars Henry Cavill as Superman/Clark Kent, and Amy Adams as a "feistier, stronger" version of his iconic journalist love interest Lois.
"I think both characters are more realistic to us, to society now," Snyder told SFX. "Clark to me was always too good to really relate to.
"He was a little too much this perfect boy scout, and although Lois was feisty and strong she was still always the one being rescued. Not to say that she doesn't get rescued in our movie, but she rescues him right back, in so many other ways, emotionally."
Director Zack Snyder has described Man of Steel as "his most realistic movie".
Cavill recently suggested that exploring the dynamic between Superman and Batman in a future film would be "interesting".

'Avengers 2' can't name Scarlet Witch, Quicksilver?

Avengers 2 will not be able to use Scarlet Witch and Quicksilver's code names, it has been claimed.

"Marvel can use the the names Pietro and Wanda."
