Winslet: 'I won't show my breasts anymore'

8 July 2009 11:03 AM, PDT | From Digitalspy | See recent digitalspy news

Kate Winslet has claimed that she will no longer appear topless in movies. The Oscar-winning actress, who showed her breasts in both Titanic and The Reader, admitted that she felt too old to undress on camera. "I'll be 34 in October. I can't keep getting away with it," she told Harpers Bazaar. "There was so much of it in The Reader because the story required it, but people (more)

How Scarlett O'Hara Stole Titanic's All-Time Box-Office Crown

7 July 2009 12:20 PM, PDT | From Movieline | See recent Movieline news

Even before he directed the box-office record holder Titanic, James Cameron worked with the impunity and swagger of a man who knew someday he would rise to the top of his craft. Today, with a new batch of adjusted numbers culled from the Hollywood record books, he can return to that underdog position -- at least until Avatar arrives this fall to restore his crown. But it has a long, long way to go to catch up with the Southern belle who surpassed him.

Hollywood Tales: Paramount Movie Creation Meeting

6 July 2009 9:51 PM, PDT | From SoundOnSight | See recent SoundOnSight news

Ok, everyone, let's start the meeting. Before you start talking about winning us Oscars, I've got the best idea for a movie ever. It's about an alien race that lands on Earth but they are actually "robots in disguise." Catchy isn't it? These large robot-alien things can have a civil war on Earth, because, well, we need a plot. And that'll pretty much be the plot for the entire movie and all of the sequels--and there will be sequels. I know it's kind of weak, but come on, we're creating a summer blockbuster here, it's not like people will actually have to like it. We'll just hype it up so much with viral marketing campaigns and MySpace that they will feel left out if they don't see it. Trust me, once they are in the theater with their over-sized popcorn and gallon of soda, we will pump so much CG

DiCaprio 'Attacker' Held By Police

2 July 2009 1:11 AM, PDT | From wenn.com | See recent WENN news

A woman accused of slashing movie star Leonardo DiCaprio at a Hollywood party in 2005 has been arrested in Canada.

Aretha Wilson is being held by Canadian officials for extradition to the U.S, according to a police source.

Wilson is alleged to have attacked the Titanic star after approaching him at a party thrown by producer Rick Salomon in four years ago.

DiCaprio - who told police he recognised Wilson as a friend's ex-girlfriend - walked away from the 39 year old, who then allegedly hit him in the neck and head with a glass.

The attack left DiCaprio needing 17 stitches - 10 to his ear and seven to his neck.

An arrest warrant was issued for Wilson a month later, on one count of assault with a deadly weapon.

She avoided detection for years, but came to police attention in 2008 when she was found guilty of assaulting her ex-boyfriend Wyatt Cote and was given a suspended sentence and two years probation.

Wilson was arrested on Monday.

Hold Onto the Handrails: Home Design Goes Teeter Totter

30 June 2009 9:30 AM, PDT | From Fast Company | See recent Fast Company news

A new genre of residential architecture lifts and tilts houses from their foundations.

Walter Gropius had a lot more in common with Vitruvius than he let on. The fact is, modernism is a classical discipline, and it places the same value on the classical virtues of balance, order, proportion and scale.

So what happens now that modernism is loosening its long-held grip? In some cases order and proportion are giving way to their opposite: the architectural equivalent of a whirl-a-gig ride. A new crop of residential design, particularly in Japan, puts homes in tilted and dizzy-making postures. So far the trend is not prevalent enough to earn a name. But if it had a label, it might be Slantism. Nor does it come with the rhetoric that often accompanies fledgling design movements. It's more about an impression, and the modest thrill of sensation.

Joseph Gordon-Levitt Not Writing Off Live-Action ‘Akira’

30 June 2009 6:30 AM, PDT | From MTV Splash Page | See recent MTV Splash Page news

Though recent rumors have sounded the death-knell for Warner Bros’ live-action adaptation of Katsuhiro Otomo’s seminal manga, “Akira,” Joseph Gordon-Levitt isn’t ready to say die.

“You never know,” said the “500 Days of Summer” star with a coy smile when asked if the project was truly dead. Though not quite a confirmation of anything, it’s a far-cry from his comments last year which didn’t acknowledge any connection to the project whatsoever.

“Akira”, which ran for almost ten years in a serialized format, was famously adapted in 1988 as a feature-length anime, one of the first to have a major impact in the Us. News hit last year that Leonardo DiCaprio’s production company, Appian Way, was working on a live-action version to be split between two different films. Gordon-Levitt was rumored to star as Tetsuo, the best friend of the main character, Kaneda, who, after an accident, manifests incredible,

Hayden Panettiere Goes Nude for I Love You, Beth Cooper

29 June 2009 10:00 AM, PDT | From WorstPreviews.com | See recent Worst Previews news

"Heroes" star Hayden Panettiere revealed that she is totally naked in her new "I Love You, Beth Cooper" movie. "I was really naked. I had these little sticky petals on my boobs, but that was about it," she said. Unfortunately the movie is PG-13, so we probably won't see much of the on-set nudity, unless this film is the same PG-13 as "Titanic," which showed Kate Winslet in the nude. Plus there's always the possibility that "Beth Cooper" will release an unrated DVD. Panettiere added that she feels perfectly comfortable with nudity and would like to show off her body before it's too late. "I'm cool with my body, and I'm cool running around undressed and all that stuff, but there are just certain things that not everyone needs to know, that you need to keep somehow private and personal to you. But you never know," she said. "I could

'Avatar' preview footage wows in Amsterdam

25 June 2009 10:22 AM, PDT | From Digitalspy | See recent digitalspy news

James Cameron screened 24 minutes of his upcoming sci-fi blockbuster Avatar to a standing ovation at the Cinema Expo in Amsterdam, reports say. Cameron, who has not released a feature film since 1997's Titanic, appeared alongside stars Sam Worthington, Sigourney Weaver, Zoe Saldana and Stephen Lang to present the 3D footage to an audience of film industry workers. "Three years ago, I stood up here and said the 3D renaissance is coming," The Hollywood Reporter quotes Cameron as saying. "And from what we've seen in the business, we can now say it has arrived." The Avatar preview showed scenes from the first third of the movie, with Cameron admitting (more)

The Return of Jimmy "Titanic" Cameron

25 June 2009 9:15 AM, PDT | From Vanity Fair | See recent Vanity Fair news

Right now I say to you, “Avatar,” and you reply, “Huh?” By the end of this year, you will not only know what Avatar is, you will be sick to death of the word. The early take on the project -- the extremely early take -- is that Avatar, a probable blockbuster from director James Cameron, set for a December release, is the best thing since salt and butter met popped corn. I mean, this picture, an epic sci-fi fantasy many years in the making, looks like it’s going to go through the roof. No big stars, unless you count Sigourney Weaver and Stephen Lang. But the look of the thing, which sports all the latest in motion-capture and 3-D technology, looked to be incroyable to the lucky few who saw 24 minutes of footage in Amsterdam the other day.

Breckin Meyer Goes Perez on Zac Efron

25 June 2009 7:45 AM, PDT | From E! Online | See recent E! Online news

Apparently, when you mix Celine Dion and skating, there's inevitably going to be trouble. It seems Breckin Meyer (you can Google him later) had a run-in with Zac Efron at a roller rink that involved Zac's gal, Vanessa Hudgens, the theme song from Titanic and the inappropriateness of singles skating during couples-only skating. After Breckin's rant, in which he demands an apology, Zac thankfully steps in and gives one, thereby bringing this very un-Xanadu moment to a close. Of course, this is all just a spoof on the blubbering done by blogger Perez Hilton following his recent will.i.am incident. Personally, we'll stick with the original...

Sneak Peek Avatar

25 June 2009 4:53 AM, PDT | From HollywoodNorthReport.com | See recent HollywoodNorthReport.com news

Avatar is the upcoming 3-D science fiction feature, directed by James "Terminator" Cameron, due for release December 18, 2009. Inspired by author Edgar Rice Burroughs' John Carter Of Mars fantasy book series, Avatar is set during the 22nd century on a small moon called 'Pandora', inhabited by the tribal 'Na'vi', ten foot blue humanoids that are peaceful unless attacked. Humans cannot breathe Pandoran air, so they genetically engineer human/Na'vi hybrids known as 'Avatars' that can be controlled via a mental link. A paralyzed Marine named 'Jake Sully' (Sam Worthington) volunteers to exist as an Avatar on Pandora, falling in love with a Na'vi princess and becoming caught up in the conflict between her people and the human military that is consuming their world. According to Cameron, the film is composed of 60% computer-generated elements, 40% live action and traditional miniatures. To create the human mining colony on Pandora, production designers surveyed the

First Avatar Footage Shown: Details & Early Buzz

24 June 2009 11:10 AM, PDT | From ScreenRant.com | See recent Screen Rant news

Avatar is a film that we’ve covered a lot around here at Screen Rant, not only because it is hyped up to be one of the most visually amazing movies of the decade (and we like to keep an eye on that sort of thing to see if it’s true), but also because it heralds the return of director James Cameron, who hasn’t directed a feature film since 1997’s Titanic.

With technology finally catching up to an idea Cameron has had for fifteen years, soon we’ll get to see his Avatar vision come to full, 3D CGI life. And today Screen Rant has the first real details on Avatar, as well as some early critical buzz that we’ve all been eager for!

Footage of 'Avatar' Shown at Cinema Expo

23 June 2009 8:06 PM, PDT | From Aceshowbiz | See recent Aceshowbiz news

On Tuesday night, June 23, some exclusive scenes from the upcoming "Avatar" have been shown at the Cinema Expo in Amsterdam. According to director James Cameron as passed on by Hollywood Reporter, much of the 24-minute footage assemblage came from the first third of the film though it still featured also snippets from the unfinished portions of later battle scenes.

During the presentation, cast members Sam Worthington, Zoe Saldana, Stephen Lang and Sigourney Weaver were said to introduce the scenes. In a short report sent to IESB by an audience, it is noted that Weaver was up first, explaining that her character, Dr. Grace Augustine, is a scientist who "dreams of living side by side with the 10-feet tall, blue skinned creatures the Na'Vi" and thus creates the replica of Na'Vi called Avatars.

Then, Lang took over to explain that "the only way to deal with the Na'Vi is to kill

Opening Pandora's box: James Cameron's Avatar is unveiled

22 June 2009 6:43 AM, PDT | From The Geek Files | See recent The Geek Files news

It's Been five years in the making and it's taken three times that long for the digital wizardry to be available to bring it to life.

We're talking about director James Cameron's sci-fi film Avatar, which is due for release on December 18 this year.

Such is the buzz about the highly-anticipated film - Cameron's first feature since Titanic - that it's been given an unprecedented three-month slot in IMAX cinemas.

These pictures (one above, the other five below) are the first look into the world Cameron created for the film and groundbreaking computer game, both in 3D. The images are either concept art or game visuals.

Producer Jon Landau said: "The script for Avatar started 14 years ago, but back then, the technology to make a film like that did not exist,"

"Our industry has not created a new universe in 32 years," he said, referring to Star Wars. "We have now.
