Don Cheadle And Brendan Gleeson Go Behind The Badge At Sundance With 'The Guard'

Posted 1/21/11 8:00 pm EST by in Sundance 2011, Video


One of the more interesting flicks here at the 2011 Sundance Film Festival is the Don Cheadle/Brendan Gleeson starrer "The Guard," a British cop flick that finds Cheadle's FBI agent heading to Ireland to team up with Gleeson's local constable. Both men are Sundance staples, including Gleeson's recent and brilliant "In Bruges," so you can be sure you'll be hearing about this film soon.

The two men's instant chemistry was on full display when MTV's Josh Horowitz met up with the pair for a fun, and sometimes wacky, interview. Get a taste of it below and then click here to check out our ever-growing list of Sundance interviews.

Don Cheadle And Brendan Gleeson Kick MTV In The Nuts At Sundance

Posted 1/21/11 6:17 pm EST by in Humor, Photos, Sundance 2011


Who says the Sundance Film Festival is all about posh parties, star-studded red-carpet premieres and the best and brightest in independent film? That's right, we do -- which is why we've been posting tons of exclusive Sundance clips and reporting back with plenty of news scoops (such as Elijah Wood talking about "The Hobbit"). But apparently, Sundance is also about getting kicked in the nuts by Don Cheadle and Brendan Gleeson.

That very thing happened to MTV's own Josh Horowitz, who was chatting with Cheadle and Gleeson about their Sundance drug-smuggling thriller "The Guard" when things took a turn for the painful. Perhaps Cheadle and Gleeson weren't too happy with Josh's questions, or maybe they just needed a little bit of exercise to keep warm in the cold Park City, Utah, temps. Whatever the case, the end result was the two stars delivering a simultaneous swift kick to Josh's groin region... and we captured it on film just for posterity's sake. Check out the photo below.

Don Cheadle And Freida Pinto May Join James Franco In 'Rise Of The Apes'

Posted 6/18/10 1:10 pm EST by in News


There's no such thing as too much monkey business. "Rise of the Apes," prequel to "Planet of the Apes," will be here before you know it -- it's got a summer 2011 release -- and the cast is starting to fill out. James Franco was in talks to lead the cast as of late-May and now the word from Bloody Disgusting is that offers are out to Don Cheadle and Freida Pinto as well. No word on what their roles would be, but the origin story is reportedly set in present day San Francisco, showing exactly how it was that genetic engineering led to the first sparks of human-level intelligence in apes. Hail to the chimp, baby.

EXCLUSIVE: Don Cheadle's Miles Davis Biopic Not A 'Cradle-To-Grave Depiction,' Focusing On That Next

Posted 4/28/10 2:17 pm EST by in News


Legendary jazz trumpeter Miles Davis was a complex figure. He went through an incredible number of transformations in his life, and he pushed forward the genre of jazz music in almost indescribable ways. Don Cheadle, who next week replaces Terrence Howard as James Rhodes in "Iron Man 2," has been planning a biopic treatment of the musician's life for a number of years. MTV's Josh Horowitz asked the actor for an update at the weekend press junket for the Marvel flick, which hits theaters next Friday.

"The story is really not... a biopic per se," Cheadle said. "It's not attempting to be any cradle-to-grave depiction of [Miles'] life. It's more my take, as an artist, on what his music has meant. With wall-to-wall truth but not really much concerned about facts." Read More...

Bryce Dallas Howard Replaces Rachelle Lefevre In 'The Twilight Saga: Eclipse'

Posted 7/29/09 8:37 am EST by in News


Bryce Dallas HowardThere's an old saying that goes "don't change horses in midstream." Never is this more true than when you're talking about major Hollywood franchises. Rabid fans become comfortable with a long-running series' established mythology, and it's jarring to see a new face operating under a familiar name.

I wonder then what you Twilighters make of today's news, that Bryce Dallas Howard will step in to replace Rachelle Lefevre in the villainous role of Victoria for "The Twilight Saga: Eclipse." Lefevre filled the role in both "Twilight" and the upcoming "New Moon." The Hollywood Reporter reveals that the casting switch comes as the result of a scheduling conflict, as Lefevre will join Dustin Hoffman in the soon-to-shoot indie drama "Barney's Version."

Posted 7/26/09 11:59 pm EST by in Comic-Con, News, Video


FROM SPLASH PAGE: With yesterday's announcement that War Machine will make his debut in "Iron Man 2," the question now becomes: how much of a role will the character play in the much-anticipated sequel?

We cornered actor Don Cheadle during an "Iron Man 2" press event to get his take on the character and how much of him we'll see in the Marvel Studios blockbuster.



"War Machine makes a very impactful appearance in the movie," Cheadle told MTV News. "It's significant."

EXCLUSIVE: 'Iron Man 2’ Screenwriter Talks Terrence Howard Departure & The Future Of War Machine

Posted 11/24/08 2:28 pm EST by in News


'Iron Man'FROM SPLASH PAGE: We may never know what ultimately led to the Don Cheadle/Terrence Howard switch on "Iron Man 2," and if Robert Downey Jr. knows, well, he isn't talking (at least to us).

But one reason it definitely did NOT happen is because the character of Jim "Rhodey" Rhodes was scaled back for the sequel, "Iron Man 2” screenwriter Justin Theroux told MTV News. "I can't really speak to the plot stuff and all the rest of it but Rhodes is completely present in a very strong and big way," Theroux said of the man who would be War Machine. "He's COMPLETELY present."
