Robert Pattinson Wants Gus Van Sant For 'Breaking Dawn'

Posted 11/10/09 10:30 am EST by in Video

FROM MTV.COM: In early 2008, then-little-known actors including Robert Pattinson, Ashley Greene and Taylor Lautner traveled to Portland to shoot a small vampire film that they hoped would get a theatrical release.

Now, Pattinson is revealing plans to return to the city where it all began — and recommending the Portland-based Oscar nominee he wants to direct "Breaking Dawn."

"I probably shouldn't say this," Rob revealed to MTV News over the weekend, acknowledging that the wheels are slowly creeping into motion on "Breaking Dawn" getting made. "But I've heard that we're going to shoot it in Portland.

'Red Dawn' Remake Will Blow Up 'All Of Downtown Detroit,' Star Josh Hutcherson Says

Posted 11/4/09 5:00 pm EST by in News

Some people remember “Red Dawn” as an Eighties classic powered by Cold War paranoia. Others think back to recent events and recall that it was one of the greatest films in the career of recently-deceased Patrick Swayze. Still others may remember it as the first movie to ever be released with a PG-13 rating.

The truth is, it’s all of the above. And now, it’s also a remake.

“I’m working on ‘Red Dawn’ right now, up in Michigan,” explained “Cirque du Freak: The Vampire’s Assistant” star Josh Hutcherson when we caught up with him recently. “It’s going great. We blew up all of downtown Detroit last week. It was pretty epic.” Read More...

Posted 11/3/09 4:00 pm EST by in News

Around these parts, we’re all very proud of Corey Moss and Josh Morrisroe, two former MTV News employees who recently directed a damn fine documentary that hits DVD this week. It’s called “Dear Jack,” and it’s the heartbreaking, uplifting tale of Something Corporate/Jack’s Mannequin frontman Andrew McMahon’s battle with leukemia. I can remember a few years back, when Josh and Corey were assigned to do a story on Andrew – and it turned out to be so much more.

“We were both working at MTV, and I got a call on a Sunday morning from a publicist friend of mine who invited me down for a studio visit - I called Josh and said, ‘Hey man, I know it’s a Sunday, but can you come down and help me shoot this thing?’ We went, but we didn’t really know exactly what it was,” said Moss, who also wrote the film and tracked down none other than Tommy Lee to narrate it.
