Kristen Stewart's 'Snow White' Kills People

Posted 10/13/11 8:45 am EST by in Dailies


Snow White

It's no surprise that Kristen Stewart's Snow White in "Snow White and the Huntsman" is going to be a badass. It's just a bit surprising to hear her tell just how badass the fairest of them all is going to be.

"I'm fighting evil—I'm fighting the most evil motherf--kers-and it's fine that they're being killed. It's anguish. It's literally f--king anguish. She takes absolutely no pleasure in ever hurting anything," Stewart said in an interview with Box Office Magazine. "I'm exhausted right now and I was thinking, 'The fight stuff is coming up, maybe that won't be so bad.' And then I realized that they're probably going to be my most emotional scenes because I'm killing people and I'm Snow White."

'Wall Street: Money Never Sleeps' DVD Exclusive: Oliver Stone & Cast On The Sequel Vs. The Original

Posted 12/21/10 10:07 am EST by in DVD, Video


The holiday season is rife with DVD and Blu-ray releases, chock full of special features, fancy packaging (a la "Sex and the City: The Complete Collection") and cutesy promo campaigns, like the one for Universal's "Despicable Me," -- which helped the movie gross $25 million in its first day of DVD release.

One of today's big releases is "Wall Street: Money Never Sleeps," and to celebrate, 20th Century Fox Home Entertainment is offering free taxi rides in few of New York City's busiest areas (Wall Street, Times Square, Fifth Avenue, etc.) from Dec. 20-24. Look for one of 10 Wall Street-themed cars for your freebie! (Also, good luck wrestling others for a ride.) For those who don't live in the Big Apple, MTV News is happy to showcase a snippet from the DVD and Bluy-ray's special features: "A Conversation with Oliver Stone and the Cast."

In the clip, Stone, Josh Brolin, Michael Douglas, Shia LaBeouf and Carey Mulligan are sitting in a room chatting about the film and, specifically, how it differs from the original. Read More...

EXCLUSIVE: 'Wall Street: Money Never Sleeps' Writer Allan Loeb Clarifies Charlie Sheen's Bud Fox Cameo

Posted 2/17/10 2:30 pm EST by in Hot Stuff, News


When we caught up to "Wall Street: Money Never Sleeps" star Michael Douglas a few weeks ago, he gave us some vague details of his encounter with Bud Fox, a Charlie Sheen cameo in the April 23 sequel.

Prior to that, in September of last year, The Playlist reviewed the "Money Never Sleeps" script where they learned that Sheen's cameo would be an brief background appearance on a financial talk show. So when I chatted with writer Allan Loeb last week, I asked him to clear up once and for all the particulars of Sheen's appearance, in a spoiler-free manner of course. Read More...

EXCLUSIVE: Michael Douglas Shares First Details Of Charlie Sheen's 'Wall Street 2' Cameo

Posted 1/14/10 3:00 pm EST by in News


We've known for a while that Gordon Gekko would briefly reunite with his protégé-turned-whistleblower Bud Fox in "Wall Street 2: Money Never Sleeps." On the red carpet at the National Review Board gala on Tuesday night, Gekko himself, Michael Douglas, revealed some details about the circumstances surrounding that on-screen reunion with Charlie Sheen's Fox, possibly contradicting or adding to the already-known appearance "as a guest on a financial talk show in the background of a scene," as reported by The Playlist. Douglas also spoke to what it was like working with director Oliver Stone again, as the two famously clashed on the set of the original film.

"Charlie did a cameo," the actor told our own Josh Horowitz. "He came in. It was fun for a day. It was good to see him again." Read More...

Steven Soderbergh's 'Knockout' Enlists Michael Douglas, Michael Fassbender, Ewan McGregor And Dennis Quaid

Posted 1/8/10 12:00 pm EST by in News


How do you take down a highly trained soldier, freshly double-crossed with nothing left to lose? If you're Steven Soderbergh, you hire a quartet of high profile actors to do the job for you.

According to The Playlist, Soderbergh has enlisted the services of Michael Douglas, Michael Fassbender, Ewan McGregor and Dennis Quaid for "Knockout," the spy-centric action movie that stars mixed martial artist Gina Carano as Mallory Kane, a super spy trying to clear her own name. Read More...

'Wall Street 2: Money Never Sleeps' Star Carey Mulligan Is 'A Gekko, Man'

Posted 10/21/09 5:30 pm EST by in News


Soon, very soon now, fans will get to see exactly what an Oliver Stone sequel looks like. The original hit theaters in 1987, earning Michael Douglas a Best Actor Oscar for his performance as shark Gordon Gekko. In the original, the morally bankrupt Gekko coaches young newcomer Bud Fox (Charlie Sheen) as he enters the fast-paced world of stock trading.

Gekko finds some redemption in the coming sequel, "Wall Street 2: Money Never Sleeps," when he links up with another young trader -- Jacob Moore (Shia LaBeouf) -- on the eve of a catastrophic financial crisis. It's not so unusual, to turn a one-time villain into a redemptive figure (see also: "Terminator 2: Judgment Day"). He'll even have a daughter in this outing, Winnie Gekko, played by Carey Mulligan.

Shia LaBeouf Stands With His Mentor Gordon Gekko, Michael Douglas

Posted 10/7/09 1:30 pm EST by in Photos


It's still sort of amazing to me that a "Wall Street" sequel is happening. Not just happening, but being helmed by the original's director, Oliver Stone. It just seems... off.

No matter though. It's happening. And Gordon Gekko, Michael Douglas's iconic shark, is back. In "Wall Street 2: Money Never Sleeps," he's teaming with Jacob Moore (Shia LaBeouf) to warn the finance industry of the coming economic crisis... and solve a murder mystery! Sounds awesome. Hit the jump for an on-set glimpse of Douglas and LaBeouf and Gekko and Moore. Read More...

Michael Douglas To Matt Damon: 'Get Your Chapstick Ready' For 'Liberace'

Posted 9/18/09 11:00 am EST by in Commentary, Toronto International Film Festival, Video


"It would be sexual harassment in any other business." That's what Matt Damon had to say about Michael Douglas's "chapstick" comment, a reference to the Liberace biopic the two will star in. Douglas will play the famous singer/showman and Damon, his gay lover. The duo will be under the direction of Steven Soderbergh, whose Damon-starring quirky comedy "The Informant!" hits theaters today.

In the video below you can hear Damon talking about his work with Soderbergh at last week's Toronto International Film Festival, where MTV's Josh Horowitz got to sit with him. Beware listeners: there are some sizable "Informant" spoilers in the latter half of the video, so hit stop at around 1:00/1:10 if you want to remain pure.

Get Your First Look At 'Beyond A Reasonable Doubt' In This EXCLUSIVE Clip

Posted 8/10/09 11:30 am EST by in Video


Don't let the 9/11 release date and the slightly loaded title fool you. "Beyond a Reasonable Doubt" has absolutely nothing to do with the World Trade Center. It's actually a remake of director Fritz Lang's 1956 film-noir of the same name. I'm not usually drawn in by remake fever, but this story sounds pretty compelling. A journalist frames himself for murder so he can investigate a seemingly corrupt District Attorney, and the journo's Assistant DA love interest is caught in the middle.

The below exclusive clip is our very first glimpse at the movie. It must be early in the tale, as reporter C.J. Nicholas (Jesse Metcalfe) is clearly trying to woo ADA Ella Crystal (Amber Tamblyn). Can't say I blame him. I'm guessing that Ella's faith in DA bossman Mark Hunter (Michael Douglas) will start to waver shortly after this.

Director Peter Hyams turned out two of my favorite comfort movies of the '90s: "Stay Tuned" and "Timecop." He helmed "Reasonable Doubt" and adapted the screenplay from Douglas Morrow's original. That's really all I need to know.

Oliver Stone To Direct 'Wall Street' Sequel, Shia LaBeouf In Talks

Posted 4/28/09 5:19 pm EST by in News


'Wall Street'Back in February, Oliver Stone told MTV News that he would not be coming to save “Wall Street 2,” the sequel to his Zeitgeist-defining drama about corporate greed in the 1980s. Fox had fast-tracked the movie late last year as the economic downturn became severe.

“I dropped out,” he said. “I didn’t want to do another ‘Wall Street’ movie. I think everything I had to stay came through.”

Well, something changed in the last couple months, because Stone has now signed on to direct the picture. Michael Douglas is likely to reprise his role as merciless corporate raider Gordon Gekko and Variety is reporting that Shia LaBeouf is in negotiations to join the film as well. Read More...
