Kevin Bacon Is James Gunn's Villainous Drug Dealer In Super

18 December 2009 10:00 PM, PST | cinemablend.com | See recent Cinema Blend news »

What happened to Kevin Bacon? Back in the '90s he was a huge star, doing movies like Tremors, A Few Good Men and Apollo 13, but sometime in the past decade he kind of fell off the map, only showing up for roles in major films every few years, like Mystic River and Frost/Nixon. The most notable thing he's done in the past year was losing all of his money to Bernie Madoff. Perhaps that was for the best though, because now he needs to make his money back, and what better way than to have a major role in a superhero flick? ...Kind of. Screen Daily has discovered that Bacon has joined the cast of James Gunn's superhero comedy Super, which is currently filming in Louisiana. Bacon will play the film's main baddie, a slick drug-dealer named Jacques who gets a gets a woman hooked on drugs, »

Exclusive Interview: Stephen Lang (Avatar) - Part I

14 December 2009 10:02 PM, PST | ScreenStar | See recent ScreenStar news »

Stephen Lang is one of those actors: You may not know his name, but you know his face, his voice and, most importantly, you don't easily forget his remarkable performances. Long before Jack Nicholson played Col. Nathan Jessup in the big-screen version of A Few Good Men (1992), Lang originated the role on Broadway. And his film and television credits include Manhunter (1986), Crime Story (TV), Tombstone (1993), the 2001 TV series edition of The Fugitive (he was the one-armed man), The Bronx Is Burning (2007), and more. And he's having a hell of a 2009, with roles in The Men Who Stare at Goats (2009), Public Enemies (2009) and now, the film that may finally help people match a name to that face and voice, James Cameron's sci-fi epic, Avatar (2009). Set for release on Dec. 18, Avatar is a big-budget, high-tech spectacle in which humans threaten the homeworld of the indigenous population, the Na'vi, on a moon called Pandora. »

The potential of the upcoming Facebook movie

8 December 2009 3:06 AM, PST | t5m.com | See recent t5m.com news »

Pictures appeared last week of Justin Timberlake on the set for upcoming movie The Social Network, a movie about the founding of popular social networking site, Facebook. Yes, they're actually doing it.So once you've stopped laughing at the idea that they could make a movie about Facebook, think about this for a second. The Social Network is going to be directed by David Fincher, who also worked on last year's The Curious Case of Benjamin Button and Fight Club. The script is by Aaron Sorkin, who wrote the script for A Few Good Men and for television shows The West Wing and Studio 60 on the Sunset Strip. Maybe by now you're a little puzzled. A high profile director and script writer? Justin Timberlake in one of the roles, with N*Sync style curls? This seems like serious business and I suppose the next question is whether the movie »

Kristen Stewart's 'Welcome To The Rileys' Role Is Only The Latest Fictional Stripper In Hollywood

7 December 2009 2:00 PM, PST | MTV Movies Blog | See recent MTV Movies Blog news »

With pictures of Kristen Stewart as a stripper in the upcoming Sundance player "Welcome to the Rileys" hitting the Internet last week, we decided to take a look back at five Hollywood actresses who starred as a stripper in the past, and how the decision impacted their careers. Some were launched into success stories, while others took a sharp downward turn. Hopefully, Stewart will take some pointers from those who came before her and avoid squashing the success "The Twilight Saga" has given her. If that's even possible.

One unusual fact that's worth noting: three of the five names on this list -- Demi Moore, Lindsay Lohan and Heather Graham -- all followed up their stripper appearances with roles in the Emilio Estevez-directed film, "Bobby." It's hard to say what that means, though three counts as a trend. Apparently, fake stripping drives female actors to Emilio Estevez. Go figure. »

Stargate Universe 1.10 "Justice" Recap

5 December 2009 2:25 AM, PST | TVovermind.com | See recent TVovermind.com news »

Tonight's Sgu ended with a whimper of a shocker and the Rush vs. Young feud came to a head and bursted like a disgusting pimple. I will just get right to it.

The Set Up

After finding an other delicacy besides the slop the crew of the Destiny have been eating, it is revealed that Spencer has not reported for duty. Greer goes to Spencer's quarters to see what's up and finds Spencer's brains on the wall and Spencer dead on the bed.

Uh. Oh.

Greer phones in the death to Col. Young and Camile and when they get there, the arguing and finger pointing starts. Camile wants to know why Spencer even had access to a gun (hello, he's a military officer!!?!), but when Young declares that Spencer was trained to operate one, Camile states that Spencer was not stable and it could have been anyone else dead. Good point, »

Facebook Movie Justin Timberlake Set Pic

2 December 2009 12:08 PM, PST | ScreenRant.com | See recent Screen Rant news »

What man under 30 has the stones to rock a black blazer over a black t-shirt?  An internet mogul.  This ain’t news to Justin Timberlake.  Merely news to us, courtesy of The Daily Mail.  What else is up with the coming Facebook movie (other than Timberkale perfectly embodying the “I’ll take your money, but I’ll never play by your rules” ethos), you ask?

Well, it’s called The Social Network and it’s being directed by David Fincher, who helmed Seven, Fight Club, The Game and The Curious Case of Benjamin Button.  Today, we have the first official set pic from the film, featuring Timberlake embodying the look of the aforementioned mogul.

 

The Social Network is adapted from the book The Accidental Billionaires written by Ben Mezrich of Bringing Down the House fame. The screenplay was written by Aaron Sorkin, who created The West Wing and wrote A Few Good Men. »

Aaron Sorkin Returning to TV?

19 November 2009 4:23 AM, PST | HeyUGuys.co.uk | See recent HeyUGuys news »

While busy completing the script for David Fincher’s Facebook biopic The Social Network it seems Aaron Sorkin is returning to the small screen for his next venture.

He tells TV Guide (via Total FIlm)

“I’m going to be starting on a new TV series when filming is done on the upcoming movie The Social Network,.. It’s going to be what turns out to be the third in the trilogy of TV shows that take place behind the scenes of a TV show, but this will be a different kind of TV show. That’s all I can let out of the bag right now.”

This is great, great news, TV has missed Sorkin and since his SNL inspired Studio 60 was canceled Sorkin has worked on Charlie Wilson’s War before his current project with Fincher. While his work in film, particularly his adaptataion of his stage play A Few Good Men, »

Matthew Modine: The Hollywood Interview

Matthew Modine: Better Angels

By

Alex Simon

Matthew Modine has been something of an iconoclast most of his working life. After being groomed for ‘80s teen idol status in early films such as Private School and Vision Quest, Modine was also one of the first actors of his generation, along with Sean Penn, to take on riskier projects, such as Robert Altman's Streamers, Alan Parker’s Birdy, Gillian Armstrong’s Mrs. Soffel, and Alan J. Pakula’s Orphans. It was his lead role as the cynical Marine Private Joker in Stanley Kubrick’s Vietnam epic Full Metal Jacket that put Modine into the pantheon of young actors who were more than just pretty faces and knowing winks at the camera. This, after all, was the young man who turned down the lead in Top Gun, arguably the prototypical ‘80s blockbuster, due to its cold war politics. From the beginning, »

Lawyer's 'Movie Quote' Strategy Fails in John Travolta Case

7 October 2009 6:45 AM, PDT | Movieline | See recent Movieline news »

The trial of two Bahamians accused of trying to extort $25 million from John Travolta took an unintentionally hilarious turn Tuesday when Travolta's beleaguered lawyer resorted to shouting lines from A Few Good Men. Michael McDermott couldn't weather an attack by a defense attorney who yelled, "I suggest, Mr. McDermott, that you sought to give birth to an extortion plot but it was stillborn," so he replied as any high-powered Hollywood attorney would: "And I suggest that you can't handle the truth!" The courtroom erupted into laughter; the judge, no doubt channeling Men's formidable Hon. Julius Alexander Randolph, quickly restored order. [Nydn] »

A Few Good Men In Travolta 'Extortion' Case

7 October 2009 5:11 AM, PDT | WENN | See recent WENN news »

John Travolta's lawyer stunned a Bahamas courtroom by channelling Jack Nicholson as he took to the stand on Tuesday - shouting out the actor's famous "You can't handle the truth" catchphrase from A Few Good Men.

Michael McDermott was cross-examined by attorney Murrio Ducille, who is defending ambulance driver Tarino Lightbourne and former politician Pleasant Bridgewater against allegations they plotted to extort millions of dollars from Travolta.

The pair is accused of trying to blackmail the Grease star and his wife Kelly Preston for at least $20 million (£13.3 million) by threatening to release private documents surrounding the death of their son Jett.

On Monday jurors at the Nassau courthouse were shown video footage taken by McDermott in which he met with Lightbourne while Bridgewater was conferenced in on a phone's loudspeaker.

Under cross-examination, McDermott was accused by Ducille of trying to entrap his clients by filming their meeting.

The attorney said, "I suggest, Mr. McDermott, that you sought to give birth to an extortion plot but it was stillborn."

McDermott then drew gasps and laughter from several jurors by replying: "And I suggest that you can't handle the truth."

Lightbourne and Bridgewater deny extortion. The trial continues. »

Top 5 Movies That Scared the Hell Out of Me

3 October 2009 8:07 AM, PDT | ScreenRant.com | See recent Screen Rant news »

Ya’ know, since it’s Halloween coming up at the end of the month, I thought it would be appropriate to make a list of the top 5 movies that, for whatever reason, just scared the hell out of me. It may not be the entire movie, maybe it was just a particular scene/moment; they may not be the technically Best horror movies (they may not even be strictly “horror” per se.), but just something about them had me hiding behind the pillow, jumping at every noise, looking through the cracks in my fingers, thinking about it for days afterwards, and… changing my underwear — okay, too much information…

Before I get on with the list, just know that (like every list) this is purely opinion and therefore it obviously isn’t going to match Your list. If a movie that you find particularly scary isn’t on my list then »

Blu-ray Review: High Crimes

19 September 2009 4:10 PM, PDT | BuzzFocus.com | See recent BuzzFocus.com news »

“I want the truth.” “You can’t handle the truth.” Have you heard these words before? If so, then you’ve probably seen “A Few Good Men,” starring Tom Cruise and Jack Nicholson. And, if you liked “A Few Good Men,” you will probably enjoy “High Crimes,” starring Morgan Freeman and Ashley Judd, because “High Crimes” is almost a thematic carbon copy. In “High Crimes,” Tom (James Caviezel) and Claire Kubik (Ashley Judd) are trying desperately to have a baby. When an explosion goes off in Union Square, Tom is taken into custody by military police. Claire, a top-notch lawyer, decides to sideline a potential promotion at her law firm to help her husband. Tom is accused of deserting the military, after he was accused of executing nine people on a mission. He claims that he didn’t commit the crime, and that he is being framed by an order »

[DVD Review] High Crimes

18 September 2009 6:37 PM, PDT | JustPressPlay.net | See recent JustPressPlay news »

It’s not often you hear about a military legal thriller rocking the multiplexes and taking home a huge box office haul. Nor is it common to hear anyone make reference to a military legal thriller made after 1992 nevermind quote one. You know full well which military legal drama has the most going for it: A Few Good Men. Every film that’s followed in its genre footsteps since has felt like little more than a legal drama written by someone with an odd affinity for the peculiarities of military law. It’s not their fault – the Rob Reiner and Aaron Sorkin duo that made A Few Good Men such a quotable powerhouse has few if any rivals of similar ability. Courage Under Fire, which followed four years on the heels of the Reiner-Sorkin trendsetter, managed to muster a little bit of repute on its own, but proved to be »

DVD Review: State Of Play

17 September 2009 7:27 AM, PDT | FilmShaft.com | See recent FilmShaft.com news »

So I was asked a few weeks ago if I’d like to review a DVD copy of State of Play, starring Russell Crowe, Ben Affleck, Rachel McAdams, Helen Mirren and Robin Wright Penn and due for release on 21st September 2009. Having seen (and been blown away by) the film earlier this year, I could hardly pass up the opportunity now could I?

It’d be fair for me to start by saying that I’m not exactly what you might call a “Russell Crowe fan”, sure I’ll report on his films, and he is after all an A-list Hollywood star. But I feel he dragged down Gladiator and many other movies with his lack of on-screen personality. I’m sure that’ll get an angry email or two but we’re not a UK tabloid, and I’d prefer to tell the truth if possible.

That said, this »
