Joseph Gordon-Levitt's Look Could Kill on 'Sin City: A Dame to Kill For' Poster

Posted:

Sin City Joseph Gordon Levitt
Joseph Gordon-Levitt is having one long, bad night in "Sin City: A Dame to Kill For."

A new character poster has been unveiled for the long-awaited sequel to Frank Miller and Robert Rodriguez's 2005 neo-noir crime drama. It features a menacing-looking Joseph Gordon-Levitt as Johnny, a cocky gambler who makes the mistake of beating the wrong guy in a game. Things spiral out of control during a very long, very bad night.

Gordon-Levitt's vignette is one of four in "Sin City: A Dame to Kill For." The others feature Josh Brolin trying to help Eva Green escape her abusive husband; Mickey Rourke waking up in the middle of a bloodbath - with no memory of how he got there; and Jessica Alba carrying out vengeance for Bruce Willis's death in the original movie.

The sequel opens in theaters on August 22.

Now Facebook Can Tell What You're Watching on TV

Posted:

now facebook can tell what you're watching on tvAs if Facebook statuses aren't mundane enough -- yeah, great, you went to the gym again -- now the social networking site can determine what you're listening to or watching ... then tell all your friends!

Today, the Facebook mobile app started rolling out a new feature that is able to recognize snippets of songs or television shows. When you type a new status message, Facebook will listen and match the snippet to one in its database (think Shazam). Then, it will prompt you to share the song or show as your current activity.

(And for anyone grumbling about yet another change to Facebook, this is entirely optional.)

For a television show, the app can even match to a specific season and episode. For a song, if it's available via partners Spotify or Rdio, your friends can listen to a preview of it in your feed. Facebook claims that it can recognize a song or show within 15 seconds. And if enough people use the feature, Facebook could even roll out its own version of TV ratings.

So now all your friends can know you watch "Game of Thrones" on Sunday nights ... if they didn't already.

Emma Stone Makes 'Magic in the Moonlight' in New Trailer (VIDEO)

Posted:

magic in the moonlight trailerEmma Stone and Colin Firth are two stars that will never wear out their welcome.

The first trailer for Woody Allen's next movie, "Magic in the Moonlight," shows these two are a great onscreen match of the wits (and perhaps more) in spite of a rather ridiculously large age gap.

Emma Stone stars as a charming spiritualist named Sophie who's weaseled her way into the good graces of a rich family of socialites, and Firth stars as a levelheaded fellow who's brought in to debunk her. Naturally, it's not that simple - Sophie's "a visionary and a vision," as one of her fancy client (Hamish Linklater) enthuses, and the things she tells Stanley (Firth) are a bit uncanny. She's also darn charming and clever, so whatever it is that she and her mom (played by Marcia Gay Harden) are plotting has piqued Stanley's curiosity in more ways than one.

Spiritualism and séances were all the rage in the '20s, and between this and the French setting, "Magic in the Moonlight" has the sort of gauzy, dreamy vibe we've seen in previous Allen outings. As Kevin Hagernauth at IndieWire points out, there are an awful lot of callbacks and rehashes of his older movies, but will it really matter? Fans will probably love it, and plenty of people will be skipping it anyway because of the man behind the movie.

"Magic in the Moonlight" opens on July 25.

Hugh Jackman on Darren Aronofsky's 'Wolverine,' Passing on 'Drive,' and Prepping for 'Pan'

Posted:

Jackman Furness Foundation LaunchThis weekend's "X-Men: Days of Future" past features both the casts of the original "X-Men" films (including Patrick Stewart, Ian McKellen, and Ellen Page), along with the cast of the swinging '60s-set "X-Men: First Class" (featuring younger actors like James McAvoy, Michael Fassbender and Jennifer Lawrence) in a tale of karmic retribution and the knottier complexities of the space-time continuum that is honestly too complicated to get into right now. But what is worth getting into is who links the two disparate universes (and casts): Hugh Jackman's Wolverine.

Wolverine has always been the glue that has held the franchise together; not only has he starred in every movie and two spin-offs, but he also served as the novice mutant and audience surrogate as we entered this world of super-powered freaks, both good and bad. When "X-Men" opened way back in 2000, it was unlike anything anybody had seen. And Wolverine was a damn good wingman.

When we finally got to sit down and talk with Jackman, we were blown away by his candor, his humility, and the obvious care he gives this character. Sure, he can be nominated for Oscars and star in other blockbusters, but Wolverine was the character who gave him his career, and you can feel that he really respects that, still, so many sequels and spin-offs later.

Jackman talked about the possibility of returning to the X-franchise, what the differences between Darren Aronofsky's version of "The Wolverine" and the one eventually directed by James Mangold were, what's in store for us in Joe Wright's "Pan," and why he still hasn't seen "Drive," a movie that he was involved with intimately at one point (with "Game of Thrones" director Neil Marshall). It's a fascinating chat with one of the loveliest people working in movies today.

Moviefone: What the schedule like for this? Did you go right from "Wolverine" into "X-Men: Days of Future Past"?

Hugh Jackman: No, I did "Prisoners" in between. So we finished "Wolverine" at Christmas and started this in late April. So it was bang-bang-bang, but it meant that I could, luckily, stay in shape and prep some more.

So your last day, you're done with training -- what was the first thing that you ate?

Burger, fries, and chocolate shake. At this place in Montreal... I should give them a plug. The guy who owns the burger joint owns Ben & Jerry's. And the shake was like a Ben & Jerry's chocolate ice cream melted down. It was the greatest shake I've ever had. But that's the first thing. But, weirdly, at like 11 o'clock at night, I'll go, "Hmm, I want some breakfast cereal." Don't you love it? I love eating breakfast cereal at night.

Was there any trepidation about doing them so close together?

There was just some complaining because I found out in October and we finished near Christmas. And I was looking forward to some time off. Because there had been such a long lead-up to that; we kept delaying the movie. So I had been training and eating really well for over a year. So I was ready for it, but I was also ready for a break. I took about a week off when I finished that and then got back into it. But actually the moment I heard the idea, around October before we started filming, I was in. I knew it was a great idea. I saw the synopsis and I thought, This is awesome.

What was it like working with the same characters but played by different actors?

It was a little surreal but kind of fantastic. I always thought filling in Patrick's shoes would be really, really difficult. But then I saw "X-Men: First Class," I was like, Wow, they really did a good job. And then working with him and seeing how they developed that relationship, in this, I thought, not only did they pay homage to the other guys and you can feel that lineage, in a way, but they really make it their own. And that's a really difficult line to try and find. I was very impressed. Earlier today Patrick said, "Now that I've seen the movie, I want to go back and play more stuff for Xavier, because you get to see so much more of his character in this movie."

Wolverine being back in the past obviously offers endless possibilities for hijinks. Did you film a bunch of stuff that didn't make it into the movie?

Yes, because for me, the whole thing felt really natural for Wolverine. I've always said that Wolverine never left the seventies, even though he lives on and on -- clothing-wise, attitude-wise. He's Dirty Harry, he's Mad Max, he's Charles Bronson in "Death Wish." I think the moment the eighties arrived, he was out -- legwarmers, Flock of Seagulls, Tears for Fears, Wham!...

But he's kind of got a Flock of Seagulls thing going on with his hair.

Good point, good point. But yes, I made a lot of little comments about the seventies that ended up getting cut out.

Can you talk about what Darren Aronofsky's take on "The Wolverine" was going to be?

Darren was really impressed with what Jim did and said that he thought Jim did a better job than he could have done. He was very complimentary to the work that Jim did. But there was one thing that he said to me that I can remember. He said to me, "I don't think you've just got to be a little bit bigger. I think you've got to be fifty pounds bigger... and muscle-only." He had a really cool idea about scars. He said, "I want to see him completely scarred. I know he heals but if you think about it, we have a scar, we have a scar for life. It doesn't really get better. It might reduce over your lifetime but it also stays there."

So his whole thing was that he should have been completely scarred and disfigured and slowly they could go. Maybe what takes us a lifetime to get rid of would only take him a year-and-a-half. I thought that was a really cool idea. He had a couple of other really big ideas, some of which, by the way, made the movie.

So Darren Aronofsky's Wolverine was giant and covered in scars?

Yes. And I actually thought that was a good idea. But I couldn't have eaten more or trained harder for these movies, and I think I'm in the best shape ever, and I thought, I'm going to try that. And I just couldn't do it.

Is that a deciding factor in terms of deciding whether or not to go back and do another one -- having to get into that kind of physical shape?

Well, that I kind of feel like I could get back into that shape, if need be. But what Darren was asking me to do, I don't think so.

Did you see "Noah"?

Yes.

It was very much like "The Fountain."

Yes, there were certainly elements of that. I loved working with Darren. I would love to work with him again. Maybe I'll convince him to do a "Wolverine" movie at some point. We had a long discussion, Darren and I, as did Jim and I, about making "The Wolverine" R-rated.

I imagine the studio would not have allowed that.

They were open to it, actually. It didn't scare them off, as long as we have a good reason for it. I was the one to call it off. In a way, I would love to do it -- if there was ever a character that would necessitate an R-rated version. But I'm the one who, every day of my life, meets 12, 13, 14-year-olds. I see in their eyes how I used to feel about Indiana Jones. So for me to say, "You know what, this next movie, it's not for you" -- I would have to have a really good reason for it. So we made the movie without a rating in mind, and the first cut, let me tell you, we had trouble. It was definitely R-rated. So in the end, we just snuck on the side of it, but that's why we released the unrated cut on Blu-ray.

So what's the percentage possibility of you coming back for another "Wolverine"?

If I was a betting man? 90%. But what does that mean? I think what I've said has been slightly confusing for people. Can I see an end? Yes. Am I closer to the end than beginning? Yes. But I'm loving it more than ever, and when I see this movie it feels vital and fresh and interesting to me. And I look at that and say, "No, I want to be a part of that universe." The movies are getting better. And as long as they stay on that track and there's always new things to explore in the character, which is not only important for me but important for the audience, I think I'll still be around.

What if you took 20 years off and came back and did "Old Man Logan"?

That's crossed my mind. That's totally crossed my mind. By the way, Jim and I did look at "Old Man Logan," because I'm rapidly approaching it and when I'm training at 4 o'clock in the morning I think, That's the only story I can do. It's interesting. And I should be careful about saying, "Ah, I'm done." Because I could see myself doing a version of that, actually. Of just saying, "You know what, I'm done for now, and somebody could play the part, but down the track I could come back." That's very cool, actually.

Another movie you were involved in that became something completely different was "Drive."

Yeah...

What was that version of the movie like? And what did you think of the final version?

This is a character flaw of mine... But I still haven't seen it. I think it's going to be hard for me to watch, because it's the one that got away. I presume that it's relatively close. What happened was that there was another movie, and I can't remember what it was, but it was getting going and I said, "I think we need to work on the relationship. It still feels like something is missing."

I always felt the beginning of the movie was so strong, and I felt that we set up a promise that didn't fully deliver, so let's work on that, right? And then they came back and said, "We were going to do a budget at this level and now we're going to drop it down to here." I said, "Fine, that budget doesn't worry me except let's not forget that this character is explained through the driving. And he's smart - so how are we going to shoot that?" The next call that came back said, "We're going with this new director." And everything I kept hearing made me feel like I was holding this up. I'm going to keep asking questions and they're ready to go. I remember the next thing I heard about was, "Oh, by the way, that director just won Best Director at Cannes," and I was like, "Sh*t."

There was something really exciting about the movie, which is why I wanted to get involved in it. And one of the producers came to me and said, "I know you worked on it and we did three or four drafts but because you didn't work on the final version can we take your name off of it?" And I said, "Yeah. It's probably fair." And then when it came out I thought, Maybe that wasn't such a good idea either. But that's me being stingy. I will get around to watching it. I know it's going to be good but my palms will be sweating the whole time.

So the beard, I'm assuming, is for Blackbeard?

Yes. Or as my son likes to call me, "black-and-white beard." I'm like, "All right, there will be make-up involved."

How is "Pan" going?

Oh, it's great. I love Joe Wright. I love the way he preps a movie. I've seen a lot of the artwork and pre-viz for this, and it's going to blow people's minds. I think it's going to be really special.

Is he still maintaining that incredible visual sense?

Yes. But giving him the palette of Neverland is just awesome. It's so unique and beautiful that I said, "Joe, you need to release this pre-viz because it's one of the most beautiful pieces of art I've ever seen. It was a mixture of storyboards, slightly animated, computer animated pre-viz and it's one of the most beautiful things I've ever seen. I said, "Keep that. Whatever happens with the movie, I would pay to see that." He's so phenomenal and has such a great touch, with a sense of humor and panache.

Have you talked about working with your "Prisoners" director Denis Villeneuve again?

Yes. I just had dinner with him in Montreal when we were doing pick-ups for this. And we talk and email all the time. And I always say, "Don't forget me."

Guess who's richer than Tom Cruise? And Brad Pitt? And George Clooney?

OK, so "Seinfeld" star Jerry Seinfeld came out on top of the richest actors in the world list (according to Wealth X), with an estimated net worth of $820 million, but it's the runner-up that's garnering the most attention.

Bollywood actor Shah Rukh Khan, who's appeared in over 50 films over the course of his career, took a solid second place with a net worth of $600 million. Immensely popular around the globe as well as in India, Khan is also a producer, TV host, co-owner of an Indian cricket club and a philanthropist.

Tom Cruise is the third richest actor worth $480 million, followed by Johnny Depp and Tyler Perry, both tied at $450 million.

Ryan Gosling's Bonkers Directorial Debut Booed at Cannes

Posted:

ryan gosling booed cannesThe reviews that are trickling in from la Croisette of Ryan Gosling's directorial debut, "Lost River," are ... mixed, to say the least. But getting your first film booed at Cannes is a rite of passage. It's the cinematic equivalent of a bar or bat mitzvah, you know? So, mazel tov to Ryan Gosling, for now you are a man in the eyes of the film industry!

The official synopsis of "Lost River" sounds pretty bonkers, and is full of tantalizingly overwrought phrases like "the surreal dreamscape of a vanishing city" (read: Detroit) and "a macabre and dark fantasy underworld." There's even an underwater world thrown in for good measure. Plus, if you really want to nerd out about it, the director of photography is Benoît Debie, whose dizzying work can be seen in Gaspar Noé unforgettable movies "Irreversible" and "Enter the Void," and Harmony Korine's "Spring Breakers." We're already reaching for the Benadryl.

It shouldn't be a surprise that reviews of "Lost River" are comparing it to mash-ups of Gosling's guru Nicolas Winding Refn, David Lynch, Noé, Korine, and every other freaky-deaky director who has as many devotees as detractors. All we can go by is the trailer, which is a steaming pile of WTF-ery that's left our ears ringing with Matt Smith exhorting us to look at his muscles.

Despite the references to ultra violence, general weirdness, and, oh, sexual violence in the film, Warner Bros. has picked it up for US distribution. It seems strange that a first-time filmmaker whose debut sounds like a very hard R, at the least, is getting a release from a large studio like WB; there's no artsier imprint within Warner Bros. like Fox has with Fox Searchlight or Sony has with Sony Pictures Classics. Sure, Gosling is a bankable name, but the fans that eat up every puppy-snuggling pic of him aren't exactly going to line up for a psychedelic freak-out.

Twitter reactions and festival reviews aren't the best gauge of a movie's success or lack thereof, but the reactions don't actually sound like your typical jet-laggy rants and raves. And now that it's been dubbed, among other things, "a film-maudit crapocalypse," well, there's not much more left to say until we see it for ourselves.

"Lost River," which stars Christina Hendricks, Iain De Caestecker, Matt Smith, Ben Mendelsohn, Saoirse Ronan, and a smidgen of Eva Mendes, doesn't have a US release date. Yet.

'Dawn of Justice' Is Now the Official Title of 'Batman v. Superman'

Posted:

batman v superman dawn of justiceWelp, this isn't just your average title reveal. "Batman v. Superman" will officially be known as "Dawn of Justice" (or "Batman v. Superman: Dawn of Justice"), which firmly establishes it as a set-up for a Justice League movie.

Although this is way more loosey-goosey than Kevin Feige's meticulous Marvel plan, it is interesting to see DC Comics and Warner Bros. start taking a crack at their own movie-making roadmap. The studio's president of worldwide production, Greg Silverman, confirmed in April that a Justice League film is slated for 2018, with director Zack Snyder and stars Henry Cavill, Ben Affleck, and Gal Gadot reprising their roles as Superman, Batman, and Wonder Woman.

Of course, "Dawn of Justice" isn't even, like, done, so trying to guess who will appear in its follow-up is a little premature. Previous attempts at Marvel films have either been snuffed out before production started (2008's "Justice League" and 2005's "Wonder Woman") or were pretty big bombs ("Green Lantern"). Then again, if "Dawn of Justice" doesn't really rock the box office, there's still plenty of time for Warner Bros. to take a different tack - or ditch the JLA altogether.

"Batman v. Superman: Dawn of Justice" is currently slated to open on May 6, 2016. Eagle-eyed fans will note that's also the release date for the next Captain America film. Who will be the first to blink and reschedule?

'True Detective' Season 2: Our Casting Wish List

Posted:


One of the most talked about shows of 2014 so far was the hauntingly beautiful and totally addictive HBO crime drama, "True Detective." Matthew McConaughey and Woody Harrelson had undeniable chemistry as a pair of cops on a mission to catch a brutal killer in rural Louisiana.

And ever since the first installment came to a close in March, fans of the show have been speculating about who will take the esteemed actors' place. The second season will have an entirely different cast and focus on a new story, and we're mostly in the dark so far, aside from Nic Pizzolatto's hint that it will focus on "the secret occult history of the United States transportation system."

Well, everyone one got pretty excited last night when Nerdist reported that "Zero Dark Thirty" Oscar nominee Jessica Chastain would be joining the cast of season 2. Alas, those rumors were false.

But these casting whispers only got us thinking about who we would like to see riding around in cop cars (or subways?) solving mysteries and shooting the philosophical breeze. There have been talks of a female pairing, which got us thinking even more!

Check out our dream cast pairings for "True Detective" Season 2 below. Who would you like to see on the show?

J.J. Abrams's 'Star Wars' UNICEF Video Has a Sneaky Surprise

Posted:

jj abrams star wars unicef puppet jim hensonJ.J. Abrams is such a tricky trickster!

The writer/director/lover of lens flares just released a video that offers fans the chance to win an onscreen appearance in "Star Wars: Episode VII" for just $10. That donation goes to a new UNICEF campaign called "Star Wars: Force for Change," which is all fine and dandy and tax deductible, but the main attraction is getting a peek at the Abu Dhabi set and one very cool-looking creature that wanders into the frame.

After so very many CGI missteps in past "Star Wars" releases and rejiggerings, getting a peek at this freaky practical effects critter soothes our jangled nerves. It has the old school Jim Henson studio vibe that brought us one of the most venerable Muppet-type gurus in cinematic history, Yoda, with the sort of tiny details that recall "Labyrinth" and "The Dark Crystal." The video itself looks like it was shot in a sort of outdoor bazaar full of aliens and their wares - check that dude in the crazy robe on the right-hand side of the frame. He's definitely up to no good!

Anyway, yes, you can enter to win what sounds like a walk-on in "Star Wars: Episode VII" (and more importantly, some behind-the-scenes action, meet and greets, time in the make-up chair, etc.), but this is a very savvy way to clue fans without, you know, actually cluing us in. For a good cause, of course.

You can enter at Omaze.com/StarWars through July 18.

Jessica Chastain Will Not Be on 'True Detective' Season 2

Posted:


Sorry, everyone. It looks like Oscar nominee Jessica Chastain will not be coming to HBO for the highly anticipated season 2 of "True Detective."

After the internet went into a tizzy due to an exclusive post by Nerdist reporting she was offered the lead role, E! news went ahead and debunked the casting rumblings. HBO denied the rumors and Chastain's reps have said she is not going to be a part of the series. Boo hoos all around.

It's too bad, considering Chastain would have been a fantastic choice to fill the shoes of Matthew McConaughey and Woody Harrelson's excellent first season pairing.

So what do we know about season two? Creator Nic Pizzolatto teased a little in an interview with HitFix, revealing, "Okay. This is really early, but I'll tell you (it's about) hard women, bad men and the secret occult history of the United States transportation system."

Only time will tell who those hard women and bad men will be...

Jonah Hill Needs to Pay Up on His X-Rated Bet With Channing Tatum

Posted:

channing tatum jonah hill bet 22 jump streetIn keeping with the hijinks they get into on the big screen in "21 Jump Street" and its upcoming sequel, "22 Jump Street," Channing Tatum and Jonah Hill like to engage in some shenanigans off the set, too. In fact, the two made an X-rated bet about the first film that Tatum says Hill has yet to make good on.

As he explains in an interview with GQ, Tatum said that Hill bet him that "21" wouldn't make more than $35 million in its first few days of release -- and if it did, Hill said he would kiss Tatum's penis. Cut to that film's opening weekend in May 2012, and "21" raked in $36.3 million.

"I haven't made him do it yet. For obvious reasons," Tatum told GQ about winning the now-regrettable bet. "That's a bad bet to lose -- it's not too good to win, either. But definitely the shame of it would be enjoyable. It's my trump card, for sure. He tries not to bring it up at all costs. Unless he did something horrible to me, I don't know if I could ever cash it in. It would change our relationship forever."

Tatum also said that if he ever did decide to make Hill pay up, he'd have to clear it with his wife, Jenna Dewan-Tatum, first.

As for what led Hill to suggest such terms in the first place, the actor didn't have much of a comment for GQ.

"Channing and I say a lot of stupid stuff when we drink together," he told the magazine.

"22 Jump Street" opens on June 13.

What's It About? This re-imagining of the 1986 Brat Packer movie, which was itself based on a David Mamet play, stars Kevin Hart, Regina Hall, Michael Ealy, and Joy Bryant as four friends who fall in and out of love and bed with each other.
