Hart Shrugs Off 'Silly' Audience Outburst Claims
25 November 2009 2:01 PM, PST | WENN | See recent WENN news »
Harry Potter actor Ian Hart has dismissed reports he behaved aggressively towards a theatregoer who was disrupting his performance in a West End play, insisting the saga is "a lot of silliness".
Hart, best known for playing villainous Professor Quirrell in Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone, was alleged to have jumped from the stage and threatened Gerard Earley, who was in the audience of his show Speaking in Tongues on Monday.
Earley claimed he was giving the cast a standing ovation when Hart took offence and lunged at him.
He told reporters he was considering police action against Hart, who had to be restrained by an usher.
But the actor has shrugged off the allegations, stating, "I'm absolutely not interested, it's just a lot of silliness." »
Hart Facing Police Action Over Theatre Outburst
25 November 2009 12:11 AM, PST | WENN | See recent WENN news »
Harry Potter star Ian Hart is facing police action after allegedly threatening a member of the audience while he was acting in a London play.
The British actor, best known for playing Professor Quirrell in 2001's Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone, was appearing in West End show Speaking In Tongues on Monday when he shouted at Gerard Earley, telling him to shut up.
When the show finished, Earley claims he stood to applaud the cast but was stunned when Hart ran off the stage and into the crowd, allegedly lunging at him and accusing him of making too much noise, prompting an usher to restrain the actor.
Earley says, "I was very scared. He was standing up and leaning over me. I felt threatened when he started screaming and I couldn't make out what he was saying - he was pretty feral at that point... I thought he was going to jump down but (co-star) John Simm put his arm up to stop him. Then he just ran off the side of the stage. He came back out and ran at me. I'd sat back down by then and he was screaming and shouting, incoherent with rage. He was saying, 'You're disrespecting me, you're not respecting the other actors.'"
Earley claims he's considering whether to take legal action after Hart allegedly threatened to slap him: "I've contacted the police about the procedure for reporting assaults. I haven't ruled it out."
Last week (beg16Nov09) Hart admitted he wasn't a fan of performing on stage, explaining, "I simply don't enjoy the process, I don't enjoy the relationship between the audience and the actor... I find it hard work." »

Big Surprise: Top Grossing Movies of the Decade Are Basically All Franchise Films
17 November 2009 3:14 PM, PST | FilmJunk | See recent FilmJunk news »
Here's another list for you to digest as we approach the end of the decade. Jason Kottke [1] recently took a look at the list of highest-grossing films from 2000-2009 courtesy of Wikipedia [2], and makes the observation that only one movie in the top 20 is based on an original screenplay. The rest of the movies are all adaptations of books or sequels to existing franchises. Now, it's pretty easy to jump on this list and whine and moan about how it means there is nothing original in Hollywood anymore. While I agree that there is a problem with studios valuing brand over concept, don't forget, we are talking about the movies that made the most money here. Of Course familiar characters and titles are going to attract more viewers than strange and unfamiliar ones... doesn't that make sense? A lot of people don't even see movies at the theatre, so they »

Top-Grossing Films of the Decade
17 November 2009 2:21 PM, PST | newser.com | See recent newser news »
Thanks to a Wikipedia contributor who put together a list of the 50 highest-grossing films of the decade, it’s easy to see Hollywood’s—and, apparently, America’s—obsession with rehashing old material. As The Wrap points out, only nine aren't sequels or adaptations, and you have to reach No. 15 before finding an original. Gawker says "only five are not terrible." The first 15: The Lord of the Rings: The Return of the King: $1.12 billion Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Man's Chest: $1.07 billion The Dark Knight: $1 billion Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone: $974.7 million... »

19 October 2009 10:51 AM, PDT | MovieWeb | See recent MovieWeb news »
Ever since the success of the film adaptation of the first Harry Potter book, Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone, almost a decade ago Hollywood has endlessly been looking for the next big thing in adapting teen-adventure novels. They hit pay dirt last year with the adaptation of Stephanie Myer's teen-vampire book Twilight which has started a chair-reaction of vampire knock-offs throughout pop-culture. Now Universal may have discovered the perfect blend of Harry Potter meets Twilight in the film version of Darren Shan's popular books, Cirque du Freak: The Vampire's Assistant, opening in theaters on October 23rd. We recently had the opportunity to speak with John C. Reilly, Chris Massoglia and Salma Hayek and they gave us an inside look at this freaky new family film.

The power of Michael Jackson lives on - and it's proving enough to conquer the mystical might of the Lord of the Rings.
The late singer's upcoming concert movie Michael Jackson's This Is It has overtaken Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship of the Ring - the first film in Peter Jackson's trilogy - in a league table of films with the highest advance ticket sales of all time.
MovieTickets.com said This Is It had knocked The Fellowship of the Ring of the 25th place in the chart.
The Jacko film documents the star's preparations for his planned 50-date concert series and will be released on October 28. Sony Pictures edited hundreds of hours of rehearsal footage to create the movie after paying $60million for the film rights.
A Michael Jackson single and album with the same title are also set to be released.

Ice Age Now Third Highest-grossing Movie Overseas
16 September 2009 1:22 PM, PDT | Studio Briefing - Film News | See recent Studio Briefing - Film News news »
With $667 million in overseas ticket sales, Ice Age: Dawn of the Dinosaurs has become the third highest-grossing movie of all time behind only Titanic and The Lord of the Rings: The Return of the King. Over the weekend, the animated feature overtook Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone. The movie has performed far more robustly on the foreign market than it has on the domestic, which it has grossed almost $195 million. Its combined domestic/overseas gross of $667 million puts it at No. 18 on the all-time worldwide chart. »
'Ice Age 3' Climbs to Lofty Foreign Milestone
15 September 2009 5:56 PM, PDT | Box Office Mojo | See recent BoxOfficeMojo.com news »
On the foreign front, Ice Age: Dawn of the Dinosaurs has officially become the third highest-grossing movie of all time. The animated comedy edged out Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone to rank behind Titanic and The Lord of the Rings: The Return of the King. Worldwide (which combines both foreign and domestic grosses), it currently stands at No. 18 on the all time chart, just shy of Finding Nemo, which it will soon surpass. The third Ice Age has made over $667 million thus far, accounting for a whopping 77 percent of its $862 million worldwide total. That's the greatest foreign ratio for an American blockbuster on record, exceeding such foreign favorites as the Harry Potter and The Da Vinci Code movies. Based on its domestic run, Dawn of the Dinosaurs may seem like an unlikely contender for any all time chart. Despite the ticket price boost of its 3D presentations, its domestic gross is under $195 million, »

3rd Biggest Overseas Box Office Earner Isn't What You Think
9 September 2009 10:06 AM, PDT | firstshowing.net | See recent FirstShowing.net news »
Most of this industry is obsessed with the domestic box office results, but we can't forget that overseas box office results are just as important as well. While we don't normally care about box office numbers, this was just too shocking. As of this moment, Titanic is the #1 overseas box office earner, at $1.24 billion, followed by Return of the King at $742 million. This week, the #3 spot, currently held by Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone, will be overtaken by one of this year's releases. What is it? Not what you think. Ice Age: Dawn of the Dinosaurs has passed $657.5 million at the overseas box office. Are you kidding me?! Here's the really messed up part of this story. Ice Age 3 (as it's better known) has only made $194 million in the Us (ranked #7 for this year domestically). And it has a 44% on Rotten ... »
