Posted 7/27/11 3:22 pm EST by in Comic-Con, Interviews, News, Video


One of the dreamquels that we never get sick of asking about is James Cameron's long rumored follow-up to "True Lies," and fortunately leading lady Eliza Dushku is always game to play ball when it comes to the subject.

MTV News caught up with the "Batman: Year One" star at San Diego Comic-Con during our livestream of the event, and fielded her a Twitter question saying a fan would love to see her "kick some butt" in "True Lies 2." Her response? "I think so too!" But there has been a bit of a hold-up from another one of the movie's stars.

"I think there's been a little a little snafu with the star. With the Schwarzenegger. It might be a minute," she said with a laugh.

Eliza Dushku Talks "True Lies 2"

I'll admit it, I have a thing for Eliza Dushku. And so does the camera, judging by the lovely photos snapped of the erstwhile "Buffy" star here at the 2011 Sundance Film Festival. Eliza was snapped on the streets of Park City, Utah while engaged in some hot coffee (or maybe hot chocolate) consumption.

She's just one of hundreds of celebrities sweeping through the annual film fest, most of whom we're talking to (click here to check out our latest coverage). And don't forget to click on the image below to see Eliza in all her full glory, along with other Hollywood talent.

Posted 11/30/10 1:00 pm EST by in Casting Call, News


Anna Faris"Ghostbusters 3" might not have a finished script, a green light or a director, but it certainly is gathering quite the cast.

Indiewire reports that in an interview with Chicago radio station WGN, scribe and original Ghostbuster Dan Aykroyd confirmed some of the casting rumors that have been swirling around for the past few months. According to Aykroyd, "SNL" funnyman Bill Hader is a "strong possibility" to star in the film, and Aykroyd is also banking on the participation of Anna Faris and Eliza Dushku.

Those three are added to the list of the previously on-board Aykroyd, Harold Ramis, Bill Murray and Sigourney Weaver. Aykroyd didn't mention whether Will Forte or original cast members Rick Moranis and Ernie Hudson, who were all rumored to have cameos, might be in for the film... but we wouldn't rule them out just yet. If anything's clear, it's that Aykroyd knows who he's gonna call when he needs some onscreen backup. Read More...

BurlesqueHolidays never come without a few grievances, and Nina Dobrev, Mindy Kaling and Ice-T all sounded off with frustrations today, from Christmas music being played too early to NPR stories about traffic and notions of what Thanksgiving is or isn't about in general.

Eliza Dushku Talks 'True Lies 2' Rumors And 'Taking Over The Family Business'

Posted 10/19/10 1:15 pm EST by in News


Eliza DushkuA potential sequel to "True Lies" is one of those James Cameron projects that might not always be in the forefront of everyone's mind nowadays -- what with the "Avatar" sequel, recent "Terminator" reboot, "Titanic" 3-D transformation, and that rumored 3-D "Cleopatra" movie with Angelina Jolie -- but interest in the project never seems to fade. In fact, fans have been clamoring for a sequel to the 1994 original, which starred Arnold Schwarzenegger as a boring dad/badass spy, Jamie Lee Curtis as his wife and a very youngEliza Dushku as their daughter.

Last year Cameron pretty definitively said there wouldn't be a "True Lies 2," but only last month it was announced that a Cameron-produced "True Lies" television series was being developed.

On Friday, I had the opportunity to chat with Dushku about the recently released "Dollhouse" season two DVD and Blu-Ray, and she set the record straight about "True Lies 2." Read More...

Prop 8, De-Verification And Paula Abdul In Today's Twitter-Wood

Posted 8/5/10 6:45 pm EST by in Twitter-Wood


A federal judge's decision to overturn California's Prop 8 ban on gay marriage yesterday caught the attention of Twitter-Wood and the rest of the Internet. Kristen Bell and Eliza Dusku both approved of the development, while Dax Shepard was concerned that his anti-Prop 8 sentiments may have resulted in the loss of his account's "Verified" status. Elizabeth Banks made a similar discovery, though she didn't link its disappearance to Prop 8 and appears to be Verified once again, as of the the time I wrote this.

In other tweeting, Paris Hilton met Sandra Bullock for the first time, John Cho made a eye-opening discovery about "American Pie" and Snoop Dogg turned a photo op with with Mario Van Peebles into a TwitPic post. Check out what that looked like after the jump and see what Damon Lindelof thinks of Paula Abdul's possible return to "American Idol."
