FROM NEWSROOM.MTV.COM At Wednesday night’s New York premiere of “Two Lovers,” Joaquin Phoenix avoided any and all questions as he rushed past reporters on the red carpet. This being his last movie, many people are wondering if Phoenix will actually turn his full attention to the rap game.
Shedding some light on the situation was “Two Lovers” director James Gray.

I took a trip Baker Street the other day and I didn't even need to hop on a plane! Yes, after a lengthy shoot in England, Guy Ritchie's much anticipated "Sherlock Holmes" has now settled in New York for the completion of its principal photogrpahy. MTV News had the run of the set this week, talking at length with Robert Downey Jr., Jude Law, Rachel McAdams, new baddie Mark Strong, and of course Guy. There's a ton of very cool coverage coming your way soon but for now enjoy the conclusion of my chat with Robert.
Downey always keeps an interviewer on their toes. Watch below as we cover the importance of MTV, Mickey Mouse, Bruce Jenner, his attitude about the Oscars, and even get heckled by Jude Law. All in under two minutes! How's that for bang for your buck?!?
How can you tell a director has created a good set? When actors not even in the scenes being shot stop by just to say hello. That's what happened when we recently visited the set of "Eagle Eye" and got one thing more than we bargained for…make that The Thing.
A surprise visitor, "Fantastic Four" star Michael Chiklis discussed with MTV News his role in the D.J. Caruso thriller, why it's a cautionary tale, and even let loose on how the film opens.
Read below to see what Chiklis had to say about the film, than check out MTV.com tomorrow for our exclusive report from the set, including interviews with stars Shia LaBeouf and Michelle Monaghan.

There's been a bit of chatter lately -- courtesy of a John Turturro interview in ESPN Magazine -- about a "Big Lebowski" sequel of sorts. It seems we might not have hear the last of Turturro's notorious bowling ball licking Jesus character. At least that's what he hopes (and so do we). So where does Steve Buscemi stand on a "Lebowski" sequel? He told us he's all for it, but since his character is dead (remember what happened to poor Donnie's ashes?) he has another concept in mind for the Coen brothers. "You could have the prequel to 'The Big Lebowski'" Buscemi said. So whose story would this be? Buscemi's got it covered. "It could be the life of Donnie the surfer because remember, he not only bowls, he surfs."
That's all well and good, but when is Steve going to show up for one of those "Big Lebowski" festivals that are getting increasingly popular? Watch Buscemi's hilarious and completely unambiguous answer below.
Ever since Daniel Craig started asking for his martinis shaken, not stirred, Sienna Miller has been mentioned as a potential Bond girl. And why not? The two are great friends and, of course, co-starred in Craig's Bond tune-up, "Layer Cake."
So when we sat down with the lovely Ms. Miller for a chat supporting her new film "Interview," we had to do a little digging. And lo and behold, she seems up for it, saying "bring it on" to being a part of the Bond franchise. Check it out below, and make sure to read our entire conversation with Sienna here, or better yet watch our Rough Cut: Sienna Miller here. You'll find out all about her upcoming bathtub scene with Keira Knightley. How's that for a tease?
