Affleck Films Veterans Awareness Advert
13 November 2009 8:11 AM, PST | WENN | See recent WENN news »
Actor Ben Affleck is spearheading a new campaign in aid of paralysed war veterans.
The Pearl Harbor star has filmed a public service announcement (PSA) for the Paralyzed Veterans of America organisation, which provides support for members of the armed forces who suffer spinal cord injury or dysfunction.
Affleck appears alongside retired U.S. Marine James Crosby, who was paralysed after being struck by shrapnel during the war in Iraq.
The star says, "Many actors have played the part of a U.S. serviceman in the movies, but for veterans such as James Crosby... his service and his sacrifice for our country are real." »
Veteran's Day Special: An Interview With Will Eisner
11 November 2009 8:29 AM, PST | MTV Splash Page | See recent MTV Splash Page news »
Editor's Note: The following interview with comics legend Will Eisner originally ran on Splash Page one year ago on Veteran's Day. While we normally shy away from re-posting stories from the archives, this conversation seemed to merit an exception, and is presented here in full again on the day when we remember the nation's veterans—a group of which Eisner was a member three times over. So, if you first read this interview a year ago, please excuse its return to the front page of the site—but if you're anything like me, you won't mind giving it another read. -Rm
Will Eisner is well known today for creating "The Spirit," his blue-clad superhero that received the Hollywood treatment at the hands of Frank Miller last year. But lesser known is that Eisner was a veteran of no less than three major wars: World War II (where he was an »

First Images and Synopses for All Good Things, Pirhana 3D, Shanghai, and The Fighter
10 November 2009 10:54 PM, PST | Collider.com | See recent Collider.com news »
Afm* fun continues with the first images and full synopses for All Good Things starring Ryan Gosling and Kirsten Dunst, Pirhana 3D starring Elisabeth Shue and Richard Dreyfuss, Shanghai starring John Cusack and Ken Watanbe, and The Fighter starring Christian Bale, Mark Wahlberg, and Amy Adams. These are all films that should be on your radar because there’s a good chance that these films will be getting some major marketing when they hit theaters.
I write and read about films every day and with the exception of The Fighter, these films weren’t really on my radar. After reading the synopses and seeing some shots from these movies, I’ll definitely be on the lookout for further news about them. Hit the jump to check out debut photos and what you need to know about these upcoming flicks.

Jerry Bruckheimer Grabs Shattered Union
26 October 2009 11:24 PM, PDT | EmpireOnline | See recent EmpireOnline news »
Jerry Bruckheimer's quest to go where no man - or woman - has gone before and oversee a half-decent game-to-movie adaptation is gathering pace with news that he's acquired the rights to 2K Games' Shattered Union for Disney.The production mogul, currently hard at work on post-production for Prince Of Persia: The Sands Of Time, has tapped J. Michael Straczynski (Changeling) to turn the pixelated apocalypse into something script-like. Set in a near-future America torn by civil war, the game version of Shattered Union sees Washington D.C. nuked and six sets of ceceded states battling each other across a scared landscape, while a team of European peacekeepers wave their hands in the air and yell "schtop!!". We think. It's perfect terrain for the man who's already overseen the destruction of significant parts of the Us with Armageddon and Pearl Harbour. Straczynski, meanwhile, has adapted zombie horror World War »
Eastwick's Sara Rue On Her Own Facebook Movie, Acting Politics and Being Harassed by Andy Dick
21 October 2009 12:00 PM, PDT | Movieline | See recent Movieline news »
Although she is best known for her work in Less Than Perfect and Popular, Sara Rue has built a comprehensive resume dating back to her starring role in NBC's Grand and a Roseanne cameo as a younger version of the star, blockbuster parts (Pearl Harbor, The Ring) and the occasional reality appearances (Kathy Griffin: My Life on the D-List, E! Hollywood Hold'em). These days, Rue plays Eastwick's most suspicious resident -- the younger, spunkier Gladys Kravitz of ABC if you will -- while developing her own feature film and scouting her next sitcom gig. Movieline spoke to Rue two weeks ago about all of this and Andy Dick as her dogs barked in the background. »
Don And Betty Do Dallas: How Will Mad Men Deal with the JFK Assassination?
15 October 2009 10:30 AM, PDT | Vanity Fair | See recent Vanity Fair news »
It’s one of the biggest questions raised by Mad Men, one that’s been hanging in the smoky, perfumed air ever since Don Draper first lit up one of his Luckys back in the winter of 1960: how will the series deal with the assassination of President Kennedy, the linchpin event of the 1960s in popular mythology if not entirely in fact. One of the broader points creator Matt Weiner has been trying to make with the series is that America had no innocence to lose with Kennedy’s murder—or on 9/11, I’d add—but still this was a shattering event for the people who lived through it. Not that Don will suddenly go mod on November 23, 1963, or start singing “Kumbaya” with Father Gill, but presumably the series, with its antennae so quiveringly attuned to its era’s history, will also pivot on Dallas in some crucial and, »
10 Most Overrated Young Actors
13 October 2009 7:18 PM, PDT | The Movie Fanatic | See recent The Movie Fanatic news »
We've listed down our top 50 hottest young actors and would be coming up with the latest updates very soon. Yesterday, we discussed about actors we believed to be quite underrated. How about the young actors we consider overrated? That's what this article is for...
- - -
- - -
Who qualifies as overrated? Guys who seem to be getting lots of buzz, but has no real talent at all, or perhaps just a small amount of it. I have no issue if an actor gets the cover of GQ or Details or L'Uomo Vogue every month. They can even strut their stuff on the catwalks of Milan and Paris and gain additional media mileage. But to be considered the hottest actor on the planet with nothing to show yet? That is something totally absurd.
Anyway, here's our list of ten just after the jump!

Boos! and Whoop-doos!: Who Should Star in Board Game: The Movie?
8 October 2009 11:24 AM, PDT | MovieWeb | See recent MovieWeb news »
Toys, candy, and board games? Whoop-doo!
In the last few weeks, a ludicrous number of generic sounding movies have been greenlit on the backs of well-known toy store properties. Battleship, Bazooka Joe, and Barbie are just some of the many weird, bland, go-nowhere flicks that have been announced for production. Soon, we'll be inundated with these lame brained franchises, and it's all because of the box office success won by Transformers and G.I. Joe: The Rise of Cobra. In this new age of socioeconomic depression, a filmmaker has to arrive in his pitch meeting with some sort of name recognition. Otherwise his epic masterwork will forever languish in the recesses of his brain like a trapped prisoner.
It won't be too long before high-minded folks figure this out, and start using household items to sell their unique and interesting art house flicks or high concept action comedies. There's a wealth of interesting toys, »
The real dirt on Mike Rowe of 'Dirty Jobs'
7 October 2009 12:39 PM, PDT | EW.com - PopWatch | See recent EW.com - PopWatch news »
Mike Rowe, host of the Discovery Channel’s Dirty Jobs (returned last night with new episodes), took some time off from cleaning cloth diapers and sifting through suet to chat with us at the EW offices. He was also kind enough to wipe his shoes before coming in. Beyond being the mud-streaked face of Dirty Jobs, Mike is also an unofficial spokesperson for skilled labor, a former QVC host, and a surprisingly talented singer. We discussed all this and more, aided greatly by questions provided by some of his many ardent fans, so if you want to get the real dirt on Mike, »

'Esquire' Names Kate Beckinsale Sexiest Woman Alive
5 October 2009 1:14 AM, PDT | GetTheBigPicture.net | See recent Get The Big Picture news »
I don't know if you can say Kate Beckinsale is the sexiest woman in the world or not, but I do know it's a lot harder to say she isn't. Esquire thinks the star of Underworld and the recent bomb Whiteout is the fairest of them all, at least for this year, and has put together a monitor-melting video crowning the magazine's new queen.
Hard to believe Beckinsale is a 35-year-old mother and smoker, and it's even more difficult to figure out why she's not a bigger star. I've been saying it for years. She's more talented than a lot of women who top lists like this and she's stunning, no question. I guess it's just one of those things. But after Pearl Harbor and the first Underworld, it's been a slow decline, even though she's done some pretty interesting stuff, though no real "must see" performances stand out.
Until now, »

Affleck And Garner Plan Another Movie Collaboration
30 September 2009 6:31 PM, PDT | WENN | See recent WENN news »
Ben Affleck and Jennifer Garner are making plans for their first movie collaboration in six years.
The couple first met on the set of 2001 movie Pearl Harbor but didn't start dating until they were reunited for 2003 film Daredevil.
Since they wed in 2005, their careers have taken different paths - but Garner admits they're considering an onscreen reunion.
Garner tells Us Weekly magazine, "We were just talking about it. It keeps coming up." »
Is Michael Bay the Death of Cinema?
28 September 2009 11:01 AM, PDT | Rope of Silicon | See recent Rope Of Silicon news »
Michael Bay's influence on films is undeniable, but in most cases his influence has inspired others toward comedy. "South Park" creators Trey Parker and Matt Stone delivered Team America: World Police, which was just as much a visual slam on Jerry Bruckheimer films as it was Bay, and they did it again in an episode of "South Park" (watch here). "Robot Chicken" took their own spin on Bay with "Baysplosions" seen to the right and Edgar Wright and Simon Pegg used the director's flashy editing and often used action choreography to bring us Hot Fuzz. Everyone gets the joke, and it's funny, but what has it done for his public image and people's opinions/expectations of his films? I ask this based on a comment left on my posting of the teaser trailer for the A Nightmare on Elm Street remake where someone wrote, "Michael Bay will be the death of cinema. »

John Malkovich Cast in Secretariat
22 September 2009 3:48 AM, PDT | Beyond Hollywood | See recent Beyond Hollywood news »
Variety reports that John Malkovich has been cast to play Lucien Laurin in “Secretariat”, a film directed by Randall Wallace about the trainer of the 1973 Triple Crown winning racehorse. I’ve always thought that horse-racing would work well in film because the races seem like an extension of the character, like the boxing in “Raging Bull”, and not merely a match that is designed as another conflict to be overcome. Then again, Disney is producing it, so the film will probably be indistinguishable from “Glory Road” and “Miracle” and every other movie in which a scrappy group comes together to overcome all odds. It’s been a long time since you can say that a sports movie has actually tried to be different. Even “Hoosiers” and ” Rudy”, about as predictable as movies come, hardly seem formulaic. Randall Wallace wrote “Braveheart” and “Pearl Harbor”, as well as having directed and produced »

No Affection For Affleck
3 September 2009 11:39 PM, PDT | NYPost.com | See recent New York Post news »
You'd have to go way back to find a Ben Affleck project in which the actor's mug wasn't slapped all over the marketing materials. Probably all the way to the ABC Afterschool Special he did in the 1980s called, embarrassingly, "Wanted: The Perfect Guy." But check out the poster for "Extract," the new Mike Judge comedy, and Affleck's picture is nowhere to be found.
There's Jason Bateman and Mila Kunis and some other guy who plays a male gigolo, »

Box-Office Oracle: Sep. 4 - Sep. 6, 2009
3 September 2009 4:50 PM, PDT | Rope of Silicon | See recent Rope Of Silicon news »
#1 movie predicted correctly: 5 Weeks in a Row Chances are that this is the weekend my streak comes to an end. None of the movies have any buzz, it's a holiday, and everyone is getting ready to head back to school. I should note that these are three day predictions - Labor Day Monday isn't included. 1. All About Steve All About Steve looks completely terrible, but they only need two million people buying tickets to hit this number. That's one out of every 150 Americans. You probably don't even know one of them. I think it will do just well enough to triumph. Estimate: $15.8 million 2. The Final Destination The third edition fell 47.5 percent. So I'm putting this one down for a similar result. Will the 3-D make it fall even more? My crystal ball is cloudy, but you can be sure I'll learn a valuable lesson either way. Estimate: $14.4 million 3. Gamer They've »

Megan Fox On Quitting Bay-hem: 'I Don't Think I Can'
3 September 2009 7:00 AM, PDT | MTV Movies Blog | See recent MTV Movies Blog news »
Are you familiar with Bay-hem? It's a condition afflicting many people -- myself included -- which drives them to seek out the films of Michael Bay, even the ones with "Pearl Harbor" in the title. It's a sorry, if action-packed, existence, and MTV's Josh Horowitz tries to break "Transformers" star Megan Fox of her own addiction in the clip below. Not going to happen, she says. Can't say I blame her.
The clip comes from Josh's interview with the "Jennifer's Body" star, which will be featured this Friday in the latest episode of "Behind the Screen," which airs at 7pm on MTV. You'll also be able to check out exclusive clips and interviews relating to "Clash of the Titans," "Ninja Assassin" and "2012," so be sure to tune in!

Beckinsale 'denies Underworld 4 involvement'
1 September 2009 9:25 AM, PDT | Digitalspy | See recent digitalspy news »
Kate Beckinsale has reportedly denied that she will have any involvement in a fourth Underworld movie. The Pearl Harbor actress had previously not been cast in a leading role for third film Underworld: Rise Of The Lycans, though she did appear in a flashback sequence. However, the 36-year-old said that she is reluctant to reprise her role as Selene for a proposed franchise update, which is rumoured to begin a brand new trilogy. She told Sci-Fi Wire: "God, three whole more? I don't think my daughter needs (more) »

Spotlight: Kazimir Boyle
29 August 2009 2:44 AM, PDT | Daily Film Music Blog | See recent Daily Film Music Blog news »
While I was shopping around CDbaby, I came across the music of Flatland, an animated feature starring triangles, squares and circles. Further investigation about this music lead me to its composer, Kazimir Boyle who had some interesting project on his résumé. After a string of projects on which he worked at Hans Zimmer's Remote Control Productions (Hannibal, Spirit), Boyle had now set up his own company named Flash Music LLC. where he produces music that's as colourful and imaginative as the delightful Flatland score.
What made you fascinated with music when you were a child?
Like many children, I started with music in the school band. I chose the trumpet but the band director assigned me the trombone. I was fascinated that I could play louder than anyone else.
Do you have any distinctive memories about film music?

Kate Beckinsale Not Sure About Returning to 'Underworld 4'
28 August 2009 9:31 PM, PDT | Aceshowbiz | See recent Aceshowbiz news »
Kate Beckinsale has put the brake on the rumor of her returning to "Underworld 4". In a press conference for her upcoming thriller "Whiteout" on Friday, August 28, she told Collider she still did not know whether she would reprise her role as Selene in another "Underworld" film, insisting report "is just a rumor."
"God, three whole more!" Beckinsale stated when she was asked about report which said she has signed on to a new "Underworld" trilogy. She added, "I don't think my daughter needs to see my bottom in rubber for another ten years. But I don't know, I've heard they're talking about a 4th one, but I don't know if that's officially happening or it's that a rumor. As far as I'm concerned it's just a rumor."
Asked if she will do another "Underworld" movie, Beckinsale answered, "I don't know anything about a 4th Underworld. I don't know anything about that at this point. »
