New TV Spot for ‘Daybreakers’ – Yes, another vampire movie
November 19, 2009 by Jane Boursaw
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
Taylor Lautner: Chris Weitz was always supportive
November 17, 2009 by Jane Boursaw
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!

November 16, 2009 by Jane Boursaw
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.
New Moon’s Volturi dish about the movie
November 14, 2009 by Jane Boursaw
The Volturi clan has a few things to say about what it was like to film “The Twilight Saga: New Moon.” Hollywood Dailies caught up with Michael Sheen, Jaime Campbell Bower, Dakota Fanning, and Cameron Bright to hear what they had to say about their vampire inspirations and wearing those red contacts.
And apparently, Dakota Fanning and Kristen Stewart are BFFs, having filmed “New Moon,” “The Runaways,” and “The Twilight Saga: Eclipse” together back to back.
“New Moon” hits theaters next Friday, Nov. 20, 2009.

November 11, 2009 by Jane Boursaw
Robert Pattinson, Kristen Stewart, Taylor Lautner and director Chris Weitz were in London today, promoting “The Twilight Saga: New Moon” at Battersea Evolution.
The crew has been jetting here, there and everywhere promoting the movie, and flew from Los Angeles to Paris on Monday, amidst throngs of screaming fans. As for whether it bothers him, Pattinson told one reporter:
“It’s when I’m in my real life, when I’m not working, when there’s less security around me, that it’s worrying,” he said. “When some girl shows up on my doorstep … In a way, it’s funny because it’s completely new to …read more

November 10, 2009 by Jane Boursaw
Warner Bros. Pictures has released a teaser trailer for director Louis Leterrier’s “Clash of the Titans,” opening in theaters March 26, 2010. As I read that description below, all I can think is how much fun it must be for the guys working on this movie, both in front of the camera and behind the scenes. It looks like a blast!
If you know your mythology, you’re ahead of the game on this one. Sam Worthington plays Perseus; born of a god but raised as a man, he’s helpless to save his family from Hades (Ralph Fiennes), a vengeful god …read more

November 5, 2009 by Jane Boursaw
Here’s a new featurette for The Twilight Saga: New Moon,” in theaters Nov. 20, 2009 (check out our Twilight Groupie blog!). For those who haven’t read the books by Stephenie Meyer, it tells a little more about the mysterious Volturi.

Aro (Michael Sheen) is the most dangerous and deadly vampire.
Marcus (Christopher Heyerdahl) can sniff out treason.
Caius (Jamie Campbell Bower) is perpetually angry.
Aro, Marcus and Caius are in charge, with Jane …read more
Willem Dafoe returning to Spider-Man?
November 2, 2009 by Jane Boursaw
It’s been known for a while that Dylan Baker will reprise his role as Dr. Curt Connors in “Spider-Man 4,” allowing some of us to hope that The Lizard might emerge as Peter Parker’s newest foe.
But what about the villains we already know and love? Like Willem Dafoe’s Green Goblin? Ok, sure he “died” at the end of the first “Spider-Man” movie, but he managed to appear in the two sequels as an apparition in a mirror, seen by his son, Harry.
While Dafoe says that “no one’s called” to ask if he’d be in the upcoming “Spider-Man 4,” he’s …read more
John Rhys-Davies won’t play Gimli again
November 1, 2009 by Jane Boursaw
Fans of “Lord of the Rings” have been speculating on who would be back for the two-film “Hobbit” prequel, scheduled to hit theaters Dec. 2011 and Dec. 2012. Will Ian McKellen be back as Gandalf? And what about the creature Gollum? Will the pivotal role once again be played by Andy Serkis?
We’ve got our answer for at least one of the characters. John Rhys-Davies will not be back as the dwarf Gimli or any other dwarf, for that matter. But probably not for the reasons you think.
In an interview with Empire, he talked about the severe allergic …read more
