With Entertainment Weekly (EW)'s Comic-Con preview hitting the newsstands, a brand new photo of "Prince of Persia: Sands of Time" has been unraveled by the magazine. It is the first official picture from the upcoming video game adaptation, and it features Jake Gyllenhaal as Dastan, a sixth-century Persian prince.
Accompanying the photo, EW included a piece of its interview with the leading actor. "I'm tired of taking myself so seriously," the 28-year-old Academy Awards nominee talked about doing his own stunts, like sword-fighting, climbing walls, and jumping off of buildings. "It's nice when a stuntman turns to you and is like, 'Actors don't normally do this.' "
Back in 2008, set photos of the actor had surfaced. Taken from the Moroccan set of the movie, the pictures display topless Gyllenhaal dressed in a full Prince of Persia's costume, while holding hands with his girlfriend Reese Witherspoon. There, he is

Harry Potter Through Fresh Eyes: Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire; Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix
16 July 2009 12:41 PM, PDT | From /Film | See recent /Film news
[This is part three of a four-part series. You can also read part one, part two, and part four. This article contains spoilers for the films discussed, but Not for Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince] Next up: Director Mike Newell's take on the Potter franchise. Newell cut his teeth directing TV but went onto demonstrate his range in film through well-crafted dramas (Donnie Brasco) and comedies (Four Weddings and a Funeral, Pushing Tin). While clearly talented, he's not the first person that would have come to mind when choosing a director for this series, but obviously, all that matters is whether or not the film measures up. So how good is Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire? Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire (2005) Goblet of Fire sees Hogwarts hosting the Triwizard tournament, a competition between three schools that tests the wizardry mettle of students from each school.

Harry Potter star Tom Felton linked to role in Twilight's Eclipse
16 July 2009 8:55 AM, PDT | From The Geek Files | See recent The Geek Files news
British actor Tom Felton is now emerging as the frontrunner - among fans, at least - for the role of vampire Riley in Twilight saga's third film, Eclipse.
Earlier, screenwriter Melissa Rosenberg had said she envisaged Channing Tatum in the role.
Although 29-year-old Tatum is a rising star, there seems to be a consensus out there that the Hollywood hunk is too old and big for the role and generally not that good a fit for the Twilight film saga.
Fans had earlier swamped forums calling for Craig Deering to be cast but have now turned their attentions to Tom Felton, who plays Draco Malfoy in the Potter films, including the just-released Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince.
So what does Felton think? He told fansite Feltbeats: "I'll be ready when they want me! Really, I'm only joking. I'm not really sure at this point; but you will be the

Before the vampire Edward Cullen, there was the Hogwarts student Cedric Diggory. British actor Robert Pattinson went from the mega-franchise of "Harry Potter" in 2005's "Goblet of Fire" to the mega-franchise of last year's "Twilight."
Now that Pattinson has entered a world in which bloodsuckers chill Stateside — and now that he must contend with Twilighters going wild for every bit of RPattz gossip out there — Daniel Radcliffe looks at his onetime "Potter" co-star's career arc as educational.
"It's really interesting for me, as somebody who is a central feature of a pretty huge franchise," said Radcliffe, who returns as Harry Potter in the "Half-Blood Prince" on Wednesday (July 15). "It's interesting to

In My Opinion: Ranking the First Six Harry Potter Films
15 July 2009 2:08 AM, PDT | From Rope of Silicon | See recent Rope Of Silicon news
Photo: Warner Bros. Ranking the First Six Harry Potter Films I ranked the Potter films back in July 2007 following the release of Order of the Phoenix, and at that time Goblet of Fire came out on top. However, a new installment has graced our big screens which demands a second look and after watching all five movies in an effort to put together the five Harry Potter quizzes that were featured last week (if you missed those click here) I can guarantee a shake-up. Here's how my rankings broke down last time around: Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban Harry Potter and the Sorceror's Stone Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets The list hasn't changed dramatically, but there is a new #1.

Emma Watson has laughed off speculation that she once had a crush on her former co-star Robert Pattinson. The actress, who starred opposite Pattinson in Harry Potter And The Goblet Of Fire, told reporters in New York that there was never any spark between them on the set of the 2005 movie. "He's just a good friend. He's a super-nice guy and girls love him. We're just friends, but he sure was great to work with," she said. "I'm really happy (more)

Watson Brushes Off Pattinson Romance

Emma Watson has defended her former Harry Potter co-star Robert Pattinson's budding reputation as a Hollywood playboy, insisting the pair was only friends during filming.
Twilight hunk Pattinson's current onscreen love interest Kristen Stewart has also been fighting off rumours they became a couple after appearing onscreen together last year in the vampire love story.
But Watson insists the 23-year-old British actor was a gentleman onset when they worked on Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix and Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire.
She tells the New York Daily News, "He's just a good friend. He's a super-nice guy, and girls love him. We're just friends - but he sure was great to work with."

From ‘Deadpool’ To ‘Green Lantern,’ From ‘Harry Potter’ To ‘Twilight’: Franchise Double Dips
13 July 2009 8:00 AM, PDT | From MTV Movies Blog | See recent MTV Movies Blog news
History was made on Friday when Ryan Reynolds officially became the first actor to star as both a Marvel and DC Comics character. Fresh off of his spin-off spinning turn as Deadpool in “X-Men Origins: Wolverine,” Reynolds is now getting to headline a “Green Lantern” film.
The “Van Wilder” star is just one of many actors who have made the smart –- and profitable –- choice to double-dip in the biggest and the best film franchises. Here is a look at a few of Hollywood’s other famous double-dippers.
Harrison Ford: Arguably the most iconic double-dipper, Harrison Ford managed to star as two of the biggest nerd-culture icons ever within a four year period. The debate over who is cooler, Han Solo or Indiana Jones, still rages on (my ball’s in Han’s court -– he has the Millennium Falcon and a Wookiee best friend!) across the Internet.

Deconstructing Harry, Day 4: Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire
13 July 2009 3:57 AM, PDT | From Rotten Tomatoes | See recent Rotten Tomatoes news
From the very beginning of this fourth film in the Harry Potter series, we know that we're in for a much darker film than we've previously seen. The opening scene of the film shows us the hapless caretaker of the long-abandoned Riddle estate being murdered via a magical curse, or at least that's what Harry has been dreaming about. This nightmare of Harry's is a sign that we've entered into a much more mature territory. Director Mike Newell has the unenviable task of following Alfonso Cuaron's excellent Prisoner of Azkaban, so far the high point of the series. Newell's Goblet...

"[Pattinson] is a super nice guy," says Emma Watson when gushing about "Twilight" star Robert Pattinson. "I'm really happy for him that he's gone on to be so uber successful," she continues.
Emma Watson worked together with Robert Pattinson, who starred as Cedric Diggory, on "Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix" and "Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire". Talking about the 23-year-old hunk's sudden raise of fame, the depicter of Hermione Granger on the wizard film series states, "I hope he's doing okay. It's gotta be tough."
It isn't the first time that Watson sings praise to Pattinson. Previously, the 19-year-old actress claimed she has predicted that the British hottie would be a famous actor and heartthrob. "He is incredibly handsome! He is a very, very handsome man, so I'm not too surprised," she testified.

Potter Cast Lay On The Pattinson Praise
12 July 2009 11:14 PM, PDT | From FilmShaft.com | See recent FilmShaft.com news
In another squeaky clean demonstration that the stars of two tent-pole franchises can “be nice”, the cast of Harry Potter have been laying the Robert Pattinson praise on thick and fast these past few weeks.
Pattinson, star of this year’s ‘The Twilight Saga: New Moon’ and ‘Remember Me’ (which is currently in production) featured in two of the Harry Potter films alongside Daniel Radcliffe, Emma Watson and Rupert Grint.
After playing Cedric Diggory in ‘Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire’ and ‘Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix’ who would have thought that Pattinson would go on to a super-stardom that the Harry Potter cast can only dream of? In fact, some could say that the Twilight series has successfully knocked the Potter franchise off of the top spot to become the most adored teen series of modern times.
Still, the cast of the wizarding franchise wish

Twilight loses its bite as gossip vampires feed on the franchise
11 July 2009 5:24 AM, PDT | From The Geek Files | See recent The Geek Files news
Twilight stars Robert Pattinson and Kristen Stewart have become bigger than the parts they play in the film series.
The novels and the first movie portray a powerful and awkward romance, a forbidden love of teenage desires, between schoolgirl Bella Swan and vampire Edward Cullen.
Fans are eagerly awaiting the second movie, New Moon, in November, and we've just heard that the third movie begins filming next month.
But the feeding frenzy of rumour and gossip surrounding the lead stars and their personal lives is now becoming ridiculous and is draining all the life from the series.
The franchise may be about bloodsuckers, but the gossip writers are even greater vampires, feeding on Twilight, Pattinson and Stewart till the rest of us are totally turned off.
It's become a horror story of rampant rumour that is making the franchise seem less and less appealing by the day. Many movie sites
