Robert Pattinson Reveals Samantha Morton Is In For David Cronenberg's 'Cosmopolis'

Posted 3/22/11 9:57 am EST by Terri Schwartz in Interviews, Video

While the entertainment world waits for Robert Pattinson's completion of "Breaking Dawn," we can't help but look forward at the "Twilight" star's next edgy project: David Cronenberg's "Cosmopolis."

Pattinson joined the project in January, with his costar Marion Cotillard dropping out shortly thereafter due to her pregnancy. After that, Kiera Knightly was rumored to have come on board, but later went on to deny it. During the MTV First livestream interview with Pattinson, he admitted that a new leading lady had been picked, he just couldn't disclose who she is.

"There is, I think, but I don't think I'm allowed to say it yet," he admitted before revealing: "I know Juliette Binoche is in it now, and Samantha Morton. It's going to be a crazy cast. Like, I have a feeling it's going to be amazing."

EXCLUSIVE: David O. Russell Eyeing Writing Duties For 'Fighter' Sequel

Posted 3/21/11 6:25 pm EST by Eric Ditzian in News

The Fighter Mark Wahlberg has said that if and when a "Fighter" sequel actually takes off, he expects the entire cast to return, including Christian Bale in his Oscar-winning role of Dicky Eklund. "Everybody had such an amazing experience making the movie that I can't imagine they wouldn't want to go back," he told Entertainment Weekly.

The same, it seems, can be said of director David O. Russell. In a recent conversation with MTV News, while promoting the DVD release of "The Fighter," Russell said that not only is he interested in working on the sequel but that he wants to take a crack at penning the script.

"I think that would be awesome," the director said of the possibility of a sequel. "I just love those characters and I think we could do a lot of fun and interesting stuff."

Matthew McConaughey Says His 'Dazed And Confused' Fans Are 'The Coolest'

Posted 3/21/11 5:00 pm EST by Kara Warner in Video

At this point in his career, Matthew McConaughey has established himself enough in Hollywood that people recognize him from dozens of roles, whether gripping law dramas, romantic comedies or would-be blockbusters. However, speaking to the one iconic role for which many film fans remember him and approach him for, McConaughey said that nothing beats the recognition he receives for his big screen debut as smooth-talking David Wooderson in "Dazed and Confused."

When MTV News caught up with the actor recently during the press day for his new film "The Lincoln Lawyer," he revealed that the fans of Richard Linklater's nostalgic look at life as a teenager in the '70s are the coolest.

“You got Dazed & Confused fans who love Wooderson. They’re the coolest fans," he said. "They never really want me to sign anything, but they love to come by and say half of one line I said [in the film], and I’ll throw the other half out ... sometimes just in passing, and then I’ll start laughing and they’ll hear me laughing and we never even really caught eyes."

'Super' Star Rainn Wilson Devours Twizzlers And Crushes Dreams In The Latest MTV After Hours

Posted 3/21/11 1:00 pm EST by Josh Wigler in After Hours

Josh Horowitz has been thrust into some uniquely bizarre situations in his time here at MTV. He's been threatened at knifepoint by Will Ferrell and Mark Wahlberg, seduced by Topher Grace and confronted by the odd American accents of the British "Harry Potter" cast.

But through all of it, there is perhaps no greater instance of pure terror and awkwardness than his attack at the hands of the Twizzler-chomping monster known as Rainn Wilson.

In the latest edition of "After Hours," Horowitz got up close and personal with the erstwhile Dwight Schrute to talk about his upcoming movie "Super," a blood-and-superhero soaked genre-bender, but the conversation quickly went to some other dark places. Wilson talked about living in the shadow of Dwight, his favorite voices to impersonate and much more—really, an unspeakable amount of much more. Watch the video and see for yourself, but be warned, you'll never want another Twizzler ever again.

Arnold Schwarzenegger Heads To Television With A Secret New TV Project

Posted 3/21/11 12:20 pm EST by Josh Wigler in TV

We're all wondering how Arnold Schwarzenegger will make his return to Hollywood, but perhaps we're looking at the wrong screen.

Despite revealing that he's seriously fielding movie offers now that his days as the Governator are over, Schwarzenegger's return in front of the camera might occur on the small screen, not the big one. The Hollywood Reporter has the scoop that Schwarzenegger is set to reveal details about a new television project during MIPTV Media Market at this year's Cannes Film Festival.

Little to nothing is known about the effort — reps for Schwarzenegger would only say that it's "an international TV series" — but all of that changes on April 4 during a press conference at the Hotel Majestic in Cannes.
