Jon Hamm And Daniel Radcliffe Rumored To Star In British Miniseries

Posted 5/2/12 12:17 pm EST by in Casting Call, News, TV


HammRad has a nice ring to it, don't you think? Well, we hope so because it might be a nickname you start hearing quite often. "Mad Men" star Jon Hamm and Harry Potter himself, Daniel Radcliffe, are rumored to be cast together in a four-part British miniseries playing Russian doctors at the end of World War I. And here's the really awesome part: Hamm and Radcliffe would play the same role in different time periods.

The news was originally reported by The Sun and we were a little skeptical as to whether it could actually be true, but Vulture has weighed in today to say the rumors line up with what they've been hearing.

'Iron Man' Flies Towards 'Avengers': Sick Day Stash

Posted 5/2/12 11:08 am EST by in Sick Day Stash


The Avengers

"I'm here to talk to you about The Avengers initiative." And with those few ominous words, the superhero movie landscape changed forever.

Make no mistake, 2008's "Iron Man" is the one that started it all. It established Marvel Studios' unexpected but insightful taste in directors with Jon Favreau. It showed their excellent eye for casting through Robert Downey Jr and his all-star cast of supporting players. Just as importantly, it kicked off the idea of a shared universe in which leads from other big budget comic book movies could cross paths with each other seamlessly, just as they do every week in the comics themselves.

Somehow, that impossible fanboy pipe dream became a reality, and now we're staring in the face of "Marvel's The Avengers," arguably the most important superhero movie of all time... and it owes all of its thanks to a badly wounded playboy genius trapped in a cave with only his wits for armor.

Expendables

We've had two weeks of Chuck Norris "Expendables" action to chew on in a row, and it looks like the powers that be wish to continue spoiling us with goodies from the upcoming all-star action flick.

A brand new "Expendables 2" trailer is about to arrive — on Thursday (May 3), to be precise — and you can catch an early look at new footage over at IGN… though the words "early footage" don't exactly measure up to what you'll see.

Exclusive 'Haywire' Featurette: Michael Fassbender On The 'Old School' Vibe

Posted 5/1/12 4:36 pm EST by in DVD, Video


There are few things we love more than Michael Fassbender, but as we learned while watching "Haywire," seeing Gina Carano beat the crap out of him is truly something special.

To celebrate the release of "Haywire" on Blu-ray and DVD, we have an exclusive clip from the featurette "The Men of 'Haywire,'" starring none other than the Fassbender himself.

In the clip, Fassbender explains what he enjoyed most about the ultra-cool screenplay for the film. "What I like from the script is all the stuff that's not said, the intrigue," he says. "I got an old school espionage-type film, like an old spy thriller, going back to the early 80s, from what I can remember of my childhood. That's the feel I got from it, although it's set in a modern context."

'Battleship' Stars Get A Blast From The Past

Posted 5/1/12 3:40 pm EST by in Interviews, Video


Rihanna's been singled out a lot lately for "Battleship" because it's her acting debut, but that's not really fair, is it? MTV News' Josh Horowitz certainly didn't think so. During "MTV First: Battleship," he decided to take her co-stars on a trip down memory lane to look at their first gigs on the big screen.

First up is Alexander Skarsgård in his debut American film, "Zoolander." If you're thinking "wait, he was in that?" you're not alone. You may recall the scene, but not the actor because he didn't last very long. Remember the gasoline explosion? Yeah. He took part in that.

When the cast is shown a picture of Skarsgård in a bright green shirt and fleece vest (with his orange mocha frappuccino!), it gets immediate laughs. Rihanna exclaims "Oh my God!" as Taylor Kitsch says simultaneously, "That's fantastic!"

"Who is that?" the "True Blood" actor jokingly laughs. "What happened to those shades, by the way? I need those now."

Posted 5/1/12 2:37 pm EST by in Interviews


Selena Gomez may be getting her scream queen on in Eli Roth’s next flick, “Aftershock.” The details of her appearance are still pretty much a big secret, but MTV News had the pleasure of catching up with the singer/actress/perfume designer and learned more about what fans (and maybe even skeptics) can expect from her cameo in the horror film.

“I was in Chile doing a concert," Gomez explained, "and he was shooting a movie called ‘Aftershock’ and he asked if I wanted to make a cameo. And I did!”

Benedict Cumberbatch's 'Star Trek' Role Revealed?

Posted 5/1/12 2:23 pm EST by in News


Trek 2

There have been plenty of big questions surrounding the production of J.J. Abrams' upcoming "Star Trek" sequel. What villainous character will Benedict Cumberbatch be playing? Does Leonard Nimoy actually return in the new movie? And just what will the flick be called other than "As Yet Untitled Star Trek Sequel"?

Some of those questions may now have answers (courtesy of the folks over at TrekMovie and Ain't It Cool News), while some of them still remain a mystery (hint: it still doesn't have an official title). If you were looking to keep yourself spoiler-free going into "Star Trek 2," it would be best to turn away now: there are possible spoilers ahead. Consider yourself warned!

'Battleship': Real Navy Officers 'Grounded' Film

Posted 5/1/12 12:36 pm EST by in Interviews, News, Video


It's no secret that movie stars have the best jobs. In the case of "Battleship," the cast got to shoot in beautiful Hawaii and work with real Navy seamen to learn from their real life experiences. Sounds real rough!

When MTV News brought Taylor Kitsch, Brooklyn Decker, Alexander Skarsgård and Rihanna back to Hawaii for "MTV First: Battleship," the cast recalled some of their favorite memories of filming in paradise.

"It's a tough office, to have Missouri shut down, and work on it, and to be in battleship row and Pearl Harbor," Kitsch joked. "I'd way rather be in a cubicle. That's just my opinion."
