Michael B. Jordan Talks Potential “Fantastic Four” Role

16 hours ago | FamousMonsters of Filmland | See recent Famous Monsters of Filmland news »

While doing the press rounds for Fruitvale, Michael B. Jordan got to talking about the possibility that he would be playing Johnny Storm Aka the Human Torch in Josh Trank’s Fantastic Four revival.

Firstly, ”That’s not real yet,”

He’s surely interested: ”Everyone knows we’re good friends. It’s something that if it happened I would be ecstatic…I’d love to be a part of it. Things change and time goes on, it’s 2013 right now…The characteristics of the Human Torch are his name is Johnny Storm, he’s charismatic, and he’s a playboy. That’s it. You know what I’m saying? That’s all there is.”

The other casting rumor involves Girls star Allison Williams as Sue Storm. I hope both happen, particularly Jordan as Storm. He’d be perfect. Seth Grahame-Smith, Michael Green and Jeremy Slater are working on the script. »

'Frances Ha' (2013) Movie Review

20 hours ago | Rope of Silicon | See recent Rope Of Silicon news »

I haven't seen enough of Noah Baumbach's films to weigh in on the entirety of his filmography, but Frances Ha is something any fan of cinema is sure to enjoy as it harkens back to the films of the French New Wave with its music and editing choices and its lovely black-and-white imagery. Beyond that, it excels largely due to what would seem, on the surface, a simple story, elevated by the realization life is never simple. Serving as co-writer and title star, Greta Gerwig steps into the shoes of Frances, a dance company apprentice with aspirations to, one day, join the company as a full-time dancer. She's a little scattered and aloof, but nevertheless charming and someone you'd enjoy having as a friend. She's a dreamer with high aspirations and, even when things look their bleakest, maintains, somewhat irresponsibly, a certain level of confidence... or does she? Determining »

It's a battle of two smokin' starlets in the same sexy red dress -- so who wore it better?On Tuesday, "90210" star Jessica Lowndes hit the red carpet in London for the Aston Martin Tailoring collection wearing one super-tight Stop Staring! red dress.  The actress looked amazing in the curve-hugging ensemble, and finished her look with a silver clutch and black pumps.

While the HBO star didn't put her girls on display like the "90210" actress -- she did look super chic in the knee-length ensemble.

16 May 2013 10:35 AM, PDT | HollywoodLife | See recent HollywoodLife news »

Since jumpsuits are such a hot trend we weren’t surprised to see not one, but two stars opt for the exact Valentino get-up — but who do You think wore it better? Vote!

Miley Cyrus stole the spotlight when she stepped out at the Maxim Hot 100 Party in La on May 15 at Create nightclub, where the star celebrated her spot on the top of the list in a gorgeous Valentino jumpsuit.

Morning Brew - Thurs. May 16: New "Pretty Little Liars" clips, Americans finally starting to agree you were born this way

16 May 2013 7:56 AM, PDT | AfterEllen.com | See recent AfterEllen.com news »

Tags: Jamie BabbittPretty Little LiarsShowgirls: The MusicalpoliticsIMDbvideoMorning BrewGirls

Good morning, Brewbies! With the season four premiere of Pretty Little Liars just three weeks away, ABC Family has started raining down promo clips. Yesterday, they dropped three new teases, including an amazing one in which Hanna and Emily get into a squabble about Hanna and Mona. Poor ol' Hanna had no idea what kind of drama she was in for when she started accepting PinkDrinks.

Also, guess who's back this year?

I'm never not going to think of Maya when I see that porch.

Gallup just finished analyzing their annual Values and Beliefs poll, and it turns out more people than ever before are pretty sure you were born this way. In fact, the gap between people who think being gay is more nature than nurture is wider than it ever has been on the pro-gay side of things.

Greta Gerwig, 'Frances Ha' Star, Isn't Interested in 'Being a Great Actor in a Sh-- Movie'

16 May 2013 7:34 AM, PDT | Moviefone | See recent Moviefone news »

When you hear the plot for "Frances Ha" -- about an awkward 27-year-old aspiring dancer in Brooklyn who's trying to get her life together -- your first inclination might be to compare it to another Brooklyn-based project with a twentysomething female protagonist. However, "Frances Ha" is not HBO's "Girls, and its co-writer and star, Greta Gerwig, is not Lena Dunham (nor is she playing Hannah, Dunham's character on the show). That's nothing against "Girls," it's just that "Frances Ha," and its terrific performance from Gerwig, deserves to stand on its own. Most mainstream audiences are likely unfamiliar with Gerwig. Other than supporting roles in "No Strings Attached" and "Arthur," as well as Woody Allen's "To Rome With Love," she hasn't had much exposure outside of the indie film world. Whether that changes with "Frances Ha" remains to be seen. Either way, the 29-year-old actress is someone to keep an eye on. »

The Unconventional Way This Film Got Made

16 May 2013 5:26 AM, PDT | Huffington Post | See recent Huffington Post news »

Fans of cable television shows like "Boardwalk Empire" should have no trouble recognizing actor Michael Zegen. Part of the next generation of "that guys" -- those character actors who show up in what seems like everything -- Zegen has appeared on "The Sopranos," "How To Make It In America," "Rescue Me," "The Walking Dead," and, most recently, the aforementioned "Boardwalk Empire," where he plays mobster Bugsy Siegel. This week, Zegen co-stars in Noah Baumbach's new film "Frances Ha" as Benji, a nice guy who becomes friend and roommate to the title character (Greta Gerwig), a 27-year-old modern dancer struggling with life in New York.

"When we would do the scenes, I would watch playback and I knew it was something special," Zegen told HuffPost Entertainment about the film, which premiered last year on the festival circuit to rave reviews and hits theaters in limited release on May 17. The black »

Greta Gerwig on Her and Noah Baumbach's Personal Connection to 'Frances Ha,' Her Transition to Directing and What Makes a Good Director

14 May 2013 6:35 AM, PDT | Indiewire | See recent Indiewire news »

Having starred in films by Whit Stillman, Woody Allen and Noah Baumbach, Greta Gerwig has officially become something of indie film's collective muse. After first turning heads with her raw, naturalistic performances in the "mumblecore" movement that she had a hand in spawning, she made a seamless transition to larger budget films with Noah Baumbach's 2009 film "Greenberg," with an exceptional performance that catapulted her to something like fame. While she still might not be a household name, critics and film fans have been eagerly awaiting her newest, "Frances Ha," which she co-wrote with director Baumbach, since it was announced as premiering at Telluride last fall. Her personal relationship with Baumbach has gotten a significant amount of coverage as well. Meanwhile, the two continue their prosperous working relationship with another film, also co-written and starring Gerwig alongside relative newcomer Lola Kirke (sister of "Girls" star Jemima Kirke), which they recently. »

P.S. Katharine Hepburn's "Guess Who" Oscar

12 May 2013 7:31 PM, PDT | FilmExperience | See recent FilmExperience news »

Andrew here, shining a final light on Katharine Hepburn, a postscript to Tfe's generous Katharine Hepburn week despite our host never having been a huge fan. Nathaniel’s write-up on Katharine’s twelve Oscar nominations nailed one of the key oddities of the icon's Oscary career. Her win in 1967 for Guess Who’s Coming to Dinner was only the second Oscar she picked up, a full 35 years after her screen debut. For perspective, by that time her biggest peers of the day - Bette Davis, Olivia De Havilland and Ingrid Bergman had already picked up dual statues.

It must have seemed unlikely by then that Katharine was ever going to get a statue to keep her Morning Glory trophy company, especially since with Spencer Tracy’s declining health she was working less and less. Consider: she'd made 15 films in the thirties, 11 in the forties, 7 in the fifties but Guess Who »
