Tom Cruise arrived in Salzburg, Austria today to film “Knight & Day,” an action comedy co-starring Cameron Diaz. They play a fugitive couple on a glamorous (and sometimes deadly) adventure where nothing and no one – even themselves – are what they seem.
These two should make a good couple for an action film, and I’m sure there will be some fun romance in there, too. Hopefully lots of snappy dialogue reminiscent of the old-time spy movies. James Mangold directs the film, due in theaters July 2, 2010.
Cruise looks in tip-top form, doesn’t he?

Little Seraphina Affleck is such a cutie-pie. Here she is with mom Jennifer Garner, picking sister Violet up from school in Santa Monica, California.
Garner is surely one of the hardest working actresses right now. She has lots of projects lined up in the next couple of years, including “Valentine’s Day,” the ensemble romantic comedy due in theaters Feb. 12, 2010. The movie also stars Taylor Lautner, Anne Hathaway, Julia Roberts, Taylor Swift, and Ashton Kutcher.

Starting to get some buzz about “Daybreakers” – yes, another vampire movie! Well, that’s fine with me. I love vampire movies.
This one stars Ethan Hawke as Edward Dalton, a researcher in the year 2019 investigating an unknown plague that’s transformed the world’s population into vampires. As the human population nears extinction, vampires must capture and farm every remaining human, or find a blood substitute before time runs out. 
However, a covert group of vampires makes a remarkable discovery, one which has the power to save the human race.
“Daybreakers” hits theaters on Jan. 8, 2010 and also stars Willem Dafoe, …read more

Here’s the post for “Salt,” director Philip Noyce’s spy thriller due in theaters July 23, 2010.
Angelina Jolie stars as CIA officer Evelyn Salt, who swore an oath to duty, honor and loyalty – a loyalty that’s seriously tested when a defector accuses her of being a Russian spy. So she goes on the run, using all those CIA skills and experience as a covert operative to elude capture.
What do you think of the poster? She’s got the steely stare down pat, doesn’t she? Oh, those lips!

Before it was confirmed that Taylor Lautner would return as Jacob Black in “The Twilight Saga: New Moon,” there were some dark times at the end of 2008. But he says he tried to focus on things he could control, rather than being sucked into the black hole of what was going on.
"Chris [Weitz] was always extremely supportive and I was glad to have him behind me," Lautner says. He is such a cutie! And I’m like some lovelorn Twi-hard teeny-bopper!
“New Moon” hits theaters in three days. Have you got your tickets? I do!

There’s a new interview with Megan Fox in the New York Times Magazine, in which she talks about changing her image.
Ok, here’s a little tip, Megan. If you want to change your image, you might consider a photo shoot in something other than your underwear. And I’m not talking nude either. How about a nice classy shoot a la Old Hollywood?
Catch Megan Fox next as Leila in “Jonah Hex,” due in theaters June 18, 2010.

Dakota Fanning stopped by the Ellen DeGeneres show to plug “The Twilight Saga: New Moon,” as well as show a new clip. That Ellen is such a prankster, though; she pulled a little vampire switch on Dakota (who’s totally grown up now!). “New Moon” hits theaters this Friday, Nov. 20, 2009.

Stephen Root is one of those actors you’ve probably seen a million times in movies and TV shows, but might not recognize walking down the street.
I absolutely loved his turn as dysfunctional Eddie on HBO’s “True Blood,” and he’s done a slew of other projects, including “King of the Hill,” “No Country for Old Men,” and the upcoming film “The Men Who Stare at Goats.”
Root’s been cast in two upcoming films, Fox Searchlight’s "Cedar Rapids" and Robert Redford’s latest drama, "The Conspirator."
In "Rapids," Root joins Ed Helms, Anne Heche and John C. Reilly, playing the owner …read more
