Bret Easton Ellis Unleashes Gregor Jordan's 'The Informers'

Posted 4/13/09 12:21 pm EST by in News


Ask acclaimed novelist Bret Easton Ellis what “The Informers” is about, and you get nearly a minute of silences, false starts, and heavy exhaling.

“Um…A week in the lives of a group of people in Los Angeles in 1983, focusing mainly on…I guess, a trio of guys…” he eventually attempts, before scampering for a copy of the 1994 novel that serves as the basis for the new film. “Um…I’ve got a paperback of the book here. What does this say? No, that’s not a good synopsis either.”

“You’ve seen it. What do you think it’s about?” the writer of “Less Than Zero” and “American Psycho” finally asks. Read More...

Exclusive: Chris Pine Lobbying for 'A-Team' Role - But Not As Who You'd Think

Posted 4/13/09 11:29 am EST by in News


Chris PineOne of the hottest young actors in Hollywood right now is Chris Pine, who’ll hit theaters May 8th as the new Captain Kirk in “Star Trek.” But these days, the actor has his eye on another big-screen adaptation of a classic TV show.

“We’ve talked about it,” Pine revealed to MTV recently when we asked whether he had approached his old friend Joe Carnahan about reuniting for the upcoming “A-Team” movie. “I’d love to.”

Carnahan gave Pine his first big break as an action star with the 2006 film “Smokin’ Aces,” and now that the director has been handed the keys to the high-profile film adaptation of the Mr. T show, Pine has been reminding the filmmaker that “A-Team” was one of his favorite TV shows growing up.

Michael Sheen Cast As Aro In 'New Moon'

Posted 4/13/09 11:27 am EST by in Photos


Another member of the Volturi has been cast. Michael Sheen joins the "New Moon" cast as Aro, joining fellow Volturi Dakota Fanning (Jane) and Jamie Campbell-Bower (Caius). Aro, the Volturi leader, can read the thoughts of those he has physically touched.

Sheen, having played Lucian in the "Underworld" series, is no stranger to the vampire vs. werewolf conflict. Although the films draw on some of the same themes as the "Twilight" series (hello forbidden love!), he will be playing for the other team this time, switching gears from werewolf to vampire. Could this provide some interesting insight for the Aro character? (Check out a shot of Michael Sheen after the jump, plus browse through our newly updated "New Moon" casting gallery.) Read More...

Cute, Crazy, And Here For Easter: The Top 10 Bunny Appearances in Movies

Posted 4/10/09 1:09 pm EST by in Commentary


Roger RabbitBunny rabbits are bizarre. No other animal can carry super-cute and super-psychotic roles quite so well as these long-eared Easter staples. Just ask Anne Hathaway.

The Easter Bunny has seen plenty of screen time himself over the years, in everything from wholesome family-friendly specials like "Yogi the Easter Bear" to twisted B-horror concoctions like "Easter Bunny, Kill! Kill!" And whether they're actual animals, inspirations for human characters like Clive Owen's Bugs Bunny homage in "Shoot 'Em Up," or just name nods like Eminem's Jimmy "B-Rabbit" Smith in "8 Mile," these critters are an integral part of movie culture. So in honor of Easter, here are ten great twitchy-nosed rabbit performances that have left their mark on film -- for better or worse. Read More...

Dad Billy Ray was there to support his little girl, but unfortunately, boyfriend Justin Gaston didn't grace the carpet. Read More...
