Denzel Washington’s ‘Equalizer’ Nemesis Found In…

18 May 2013 2:57 AM, PDT | The Hollywood News | See recent The Hollywood News news »

We’ve known for quite some time now that Denzel Washington would lead the big-screen remake of cult 1980s series The Equalizer. A few months ago Antoine Fuqua was finally confirmed to reunite with his Training Day Oscar-winner and named the director after both Nicolas Winding Refn and Rupert Wyatt’s failed to agree terms in negotiations. Less than a week ago we learned Chloe Grace Moretz would portray the teen hooker needing the desperate help of Washington’s retired operative Robert McCall, previously played by the late, great Edward Woodward.

Well, we now know the sadistic villain of the piece will be a member of the Russian mafia, with New Zealander Marton Csokas taking on the role. The actor is best known for his roles in The Lord Of The Rings, The Bourne Supremacy and The Debt. He was most recently seen in the under-loved yet enjoyable Abraham Lincoln: Vampire Hunter »

Marton Csokas to take on Denzel Washington in Antoine Fuqua's The Equalizer

17 May 2013 3:24 PM, PDT | JoBlo.com | See recent JoBlo news »

The last time I saw Marton Csokas was 2011s The Debt. The last thing you might have seen him in was Abraham Lincoln: Vampire Hunter unless you saw Pawn. The only beef I have with him is 2005s Aeon Flux. To be fair, that was a hell of a thing to adapt to the big screen and while the animated series is one of my favorites it just was not destined for life beyond MTV's Liquid Television. But my beef lies in the fact that he was in no way, shape or form Trevor Goodchild. If anything, he should »

Jessica Chastain in talks for Christopher Nolan's Interstellar, Michael Caine joins the cast

3 May 2013 6:25 PM, PDT | Flickeringmyth | See recent Flickeringmyth news »

Now that he's finished up with the Dark Knight trilogy, Christopher Nolan is gearing up to go into space for his next effort, the sci-fi epic Interstellar, and according to Deadline Jessica Chastain (Zero Dark Thirty) is in talks about joining the film as the "third lead". Matthew McConaughey (Magic Mike) was the first name to sign on for the film, followed by Oscar winner Anne Hathaway (Les Miserables), who will reunite with Nolan following her turn as Catwoman in The Dark Knight Rises.

Jessica Chastain enjoyed her big breakthrough in 2011, which saw her appearing in Take Shelter, Coriolanus, The Debt, The Tree of Life and Texas Killing Fields, along with her Oscar nominated supporting turn in The Help. She followed this up last year with a Best Actress nod for Zero Dark Thirty and has several films on her upcoming slate, including the relationship dramas The Disappearance of Eleanor Rigby: His and Hers, »

When Chastain tried to run a la Cruise

30 April 2013 7:10 PM, PDT | RealBollywood.com | See recent RealBollywood news »

Los Angeles, May 1: Actress Jessica Chastain says she got the hang of running well when her co-star Sam Worthington asked her to try and emulate Tom Cruise's style.

The 36-year-old admits she had bad form when sprinting and it wasn't until her""The Deb"" co-star gave her some pointers.

"Sam Worthington, who I acted with in 'The Debt', had to teach me (how to run), because I used to look like such a wimp when I tried. He told me to think of Tom Cruise when he runs in movies - that's what I was aiming for"" contactmusic.com quoted Chastain as saying.

Jessica Chastain learned to run like Tom Cruise

30 April 2013 3:01 AM, PDT | Monsters and Critics | See recent Monsters and Critics news »

Jessica Chastain learned to run like Tom Cruise from Sam Worthington. The 'Zero Dark Thirty' actress admits she had bad form when sprinting and it wasn't until her 'The Debt' co-star gave her some pointers that she learned how to run like she was in an action movie. She said: 'Sam Worthington, who I acted with in 'The Debt', had to teach me [how to run], because I used to look like such a wimp when I tried. He told me to think of Tom Cruise when he runs in movies - that's what I was aiming for!' Despite perfecting her running technique, the 36-year-old star has another worry - she swims like an 'old lady'. She explained: 'I mean, »

Del Toro's Haunted-House Flick Adding a New Cast Member?

5 April 2013 5:41 PM, PDT | Alt Film Guide | See recent Alt Film Guide news »

Del Toro's haunted-house flick to get a new cast member? According to a Variety report, this year's Oscar-nominated actress Jessica Chastain (for Kathryn Bigelow's Zero Dark Thirty) is in "final negotiations" to become the latest addition to the cast of filmmaker Guillermo del Toro's haunted-house movie Crimson Peak. If her signature does end up in the dotted line, Chastain will be featured next to Pacific Rim / Queer as Folk's Charlie Hunnam, The Hobbit: The Desolation of Smaug / Star Trek Into Darkness' Benedict Cumberbatch, and one of Chastain's The Help co-stars: Emma Stone. Needless to say, for that to happen all of the aforementioned names must actually end up in the film. As per Justin Kroll's Variety article, the plot of the Legendary Pictures horror film (possibly to be handled by Universal Pictures) remains unknown. Could GdT's latest turn out to be Robert Wise's The Haunting »

DirecTV goes 'Rogue' for ruthless crime family, clothing optional

3 April 2013 3:00 PM, PDT | Zap2It - From Inside the Box | See recent Zap2It - From Inside the Box news »

They say that blood is thicker than water. But if you spill enough of it, does it even matter? That's a question almost all the characters in the gritty suspense drama "Rogue," premiering Wednesday, April 3, on DirecTV, need to ask themselves.

The 10-episode series stars Thandie Newton ("Mission: Impossible 2," "Crash") as Grace Travis, an undercover cop deep inside the family business of Jimmy Laszlo (Marton Csokas, "The Debt," "Alice In Wonderland"): a business down by the docks (wink, wink).

After the death of her young son in a suspicious drive-by shooting, Grace has found herself alienated from her own family and reluctantly joins forces with Jimmy, a man who may very well have had something to do with her son's murder. Without the permission of her bosses in the police department, she has gone back under cover in order to discover the guilty party. 

She has, as they say, »

Best Actress Nominee Jessica Chastain: The Hollywood Flashback Interview

15 February 2013 2:01 PM, PST | The Hollywood Interview | See recent The Hollywood Interview news »

In May of 2006, I sat down with actress Jessica Chastain, then an unknown and untested 29 year-old who was on the precipice of her first big break after being tapped by Al Pacino to co-star in his stage production of Oscar Wilde's "Salome" at the Wadsworth Theater. Then as now, Chastain's fresh-faced beauty made every passerby do a double-take as we spoke. Her ambition to succeed as a performer was palpable, and paid off in 2011 with Chastain appearing in six high-profile films: "Take Shelter," "The Tree of Life," "Coriolanus," "The Debt," "Texas Killing Fields," and "The Help," for which she received a Best Supporting Actress nomination. This year, Chastain received a nod in the Best Actress category for Katherine Bigelow's "Zero Dark Thirty" and is the undisputed front-runner to take a statuette home.

Jessica Chastain blazes her way

3 February 2013 6:34 AM, PST | The Guardian - Film News | See recent The Guardian - Film News news »

Jessica Chastain is a red-hot Oscar favourite, with Zero Dark Thirty and Mama just the latest in her bumper run. But there's been plenty of struggle. She talks to Tom Lamont about waiting for fame, living with mice – and why her grandma hogs the limelight

You wouldn't call it rags to riches. There was no last-dollar bus ticket bought in Kansas or Kentucky, destination Los Angeles. But if Hollywood still has the power to transform a no-name's life, and at dizzying speed, the example of Jessica Chastain is a good one. Two years ago she was "super poor", an actor from Northern California who hoarded coins for the laundrette. She shared her La apartment with at least a dozen mice (they lived in cutlery drawers, the oven). Chastain has always had vivid red hair, a distinctive pinched chin and an arresting smile, but whenever she got a part in a film, »

Sam Worthington Will Lead For The Dogs

31 January 2013 10:25 AM, PST | We Got This Covered | See recent We Got This Covered news »

Remember back in 2009 when Sam Worthington was the biggest thing since sliced bread? After the success of James Cameron’s Avatar, the little known actor broke out and became a bankable name. But then something happened, the buzz surrounding the Aussie actor died down considerably. Films like The Debt, Man on a Ledge and Texas Killing Fields have pushed him far under the radar. Now, the actor may just want to take it easy before he gears up for Avatar 2, but his rather unimpressive filmography as of late isn’t helping his career. And it seems as that trend will continue as Worthington is set to star in an indie action/thriller titled For The Dogs.

An adaptation of Kevin Wignall’s novel, the Phillip Noyce helmed film will be penned by Oren Moverman. For those unfamiliar with the story, it follows a “a lone assassin (Worthington) in Italy »

Sam Worthington to Lead 'For the Dogs' Adaptation from Philip Noyce

31 January 2013 9:56 AM, PST | firstshowing.net | See recent FirstShowing.net news »

For a stretch around 2009, it seemed as if every executive in Hollywood suddenly received the same memo: "cast Sam Worthington in any blockbuster you can." But things have quieted down a little for the Aussie actor in recent years, he starred in some lower profile projects like The Debt and Texas Killing Fields, and now Variety reports that he has a new non-franchise film in the works. He'll play the lead role in the indie action thriller For the Dogs, an adaptation of Kevin Wignall's 2007 novel that has Salt director Phillip Noyce set to helm and Rampart writer/director Oren Moverman writing the screenplay. More below! The story revolves around a lone assassin (Worthington) in Italy who keeps an eye on a young college girl as a favor to her father. When the girl's entire family is murdered, the assassin reluctantly agrees to help her get revenge, even though the »

Sam Worthington to star in Phillip Noyce's For The Dogs

Sam Worthington is set to star in the For the Dogs indie action / thriller. Phillip Noyce (Salt) directs from the script by Oren Moverman, based on the adaptation by Paul Leydon and the novel by Kevin Wignall.
