Jane Boursaw — Thu, 19 Nov 2009 23:40:05 +0000

Here’s some Robert Pattinson news that’s NOT related to “The Twilight Saga: New Moon.” No sparkling vampires in the trailer for “Remember Me,” in which Pattinson and Emilie de Ravin star as two lovers dealing with respective family tragedies.

Directed by Allen Coulter, the Summit Entertainment film also stars Pierce Brosnan and Chris Cooper, and is set for a March 12, 2010 release date.

Meryl Streep at the ‘Fantastic Mr. Fox’ premiere

Jane Boursaw — Sat, 14 Nov 2009 04:46:48 +0000

I can’t say I’m all that crazy about Meryl Streep’s dress at the “Fantastic Mr. Fox” premiere in New York City. There’s sort of a whole lot going on there. Too much, really. But Meryl, as always, looks fantastic.

The animated movie opens Nov. 25, 2009, and stars George Clooney as the title character, a fox who’s dealing with three wealthy farmers who are none too happy about Mr. Fox feeding his family on their poultry.

The voice cast also includes Bill Murray, Willem Dafoe, Owen Wilson, and Jason Schwartzman. Watch the trailer here.

John Cusack, Thandie Newton, and Adam Lambert shine at the 2012 Premiere

Jane Boursaw — Fri, 06 Nov 2009 04:56:00 +0000

It may have been a disaster on the screen, but the stars shone brightly at the premiere of “2012.”

Roland Emmerich’s tragi-film centers on a global cataclysm that brings an end to the world as we know it — seriously, check out the trailer. I also have a great 5-minute clip with John Cusack front and center.

Until the Nov. 13 release date, here are a few premiere pictures of Cusack, Thandie Newton, Woody Harrelson, Danny Glover, Gilmore Girls’ Lauren Graham, and Chin Han (read my “Dark Knight” interview with him).

Also present was Adam Lambert, who sang one of the movie’s tunes, “Time for Miracles.” Watch the video of that on Idol Stalker!

Kristen Bell at the Astro Boy premiere!

Jane Boursaw — Wed, 21 Oct 2009 03:59:00 +0000

The premiere of “Astro Boy” took place at Grauman’s Chinese Theatre in Los Angeles, and Kristen Bell was on hand to pose with Astro Boy himself! (Hmmm … who IS that under there?!)

In theaters Oct. 23, 2009, the CG-animated film is set in futuristic Metro City, where Astro Boy (voiced by Freddie Highmore) is a young robot created by a brilliant scientist named Tenma (Nicolas Cage). Powered by positive “blue” energy, Astro Boy has super strength, x-ray vision, unbelievable speed, and the ability to fly.

It also features the voices of Kristen Bell, Bill Nighy, Donald Sutherland, Nathan Lane, and Eugene Levy. Kristen’s outfit is adorable, but I have to say, I’m really in love with Astro Boy’s red boots.

Penn Badgley, Taylor Momsen at The Stepfather premiere

Jane Boursaw — Wed, 14 Oct 2009 01:19:36 +0000

The “Gossip Girls” (and guys) came out for the premiere of “The Stepfather,” starring Penn Badgley as a guy who returns from from military school to find his mom (Sela Ward) happily living with her new boyfriend (Dylan Walsh). But Michael’s potential stepfather might not be all he’s cracked up to be.

The thriller hits theaters Oct 16, 2009, and is rated PG-13 for intense sequences of violence, disturbing images, mature thematic material and brief sensuality. It also stars Amber Heard, Sherry Stringfield, Jon Tenney, and Paige Turco. It looks darn creepy!

Mariah Carey, Robert De Niro, Mary J. Blige at the Precious premiere in New York

Jane Boursaw — Tue, 06 Oct 2009 03:58:00 +0000

The stars came out in full force – and such a diverse group they were – for the premiere of “Precious“ at the 2009 New York Film Festival on Oct. 3, 2009. I posted the trailer last spring, and can’t wait to see the film.

It tells the story of an overweight, illiterate teen (Gabourey Sidibe) in Harlem who’s pregnant with her second child. But when she’s invited to enroll in an alternative school, things might start turning around for her. Check out the photos below, and also the red carpet premiere at Cannes last spring.
