Tom Cruise arrives in Salzburg to film ‘Knight & Day’

Jane Boursaw — Fri, 20 Nov 2009 04:58:52 +0000

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.

Taylor Lautner: Chris Weitz was always supportive

Jane Boursaw — Wed, 18 Nov 2009 04:44:31 +0000

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!

Megan Fox talks to NYT Magazine about changing her image

Jane Boursaw — Tue, 17 Nov 2009 04:57:39 +0000

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.

Jane Boursaw — Tue, 17 Nov 2009 04:24:17 +0000

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

Jane Boursaw — Sun, 15 Nov 2009 04:52:01 +0000

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.

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.

‘New Moon’ gang hits Madrid

Jane Boursaw — Sat, 14 Nov 2009 03:55:06 +0000

The cast from “The Twilight Saga: New Moon” continues to journey across the globe making appearances to promote the film (like it really needs it). Robert Pattinson, Kristen Stewart, and Taylor Lautner showed up in Madrid at the Palacio de Vistalegre.

All three of these actors are darn cute, and I love everything Kristen Stewart’s been wearing. She must have an army of people accompanying her with trunks of clothes.

The movie opens in theaters Nov. 20, 2009.

John Travolta is out and about promoting his upcoming movie, “Old Dogs,” and stopped by the Ellen DeGeneres show today. The movie looks really fun, but it’s awesome to see Travolta doing well enough to make appearances again.

He thanked the fans for all the love and support they’ve offered during the difficult time following his son Jet’s death.

“Old Dogs” opens in theaters Nov. 25, 2009. Also check out Access Hollywood’s interview with Travolta, wife Kelly Preston and daughter Elle Bleu. All three appear in the movie, along with Robin Williams.

Kristen Stewart, Robert Pattinson and Taylor Lautner storm Paris and London for ‘New Moon’ fan events

Jane Boursaw — Thu, 12 Nov 2009 04:26:14 +0000

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 me. Growing up, that wasn’t me. I wasn’t someone who had a girlfriend.”

It appears he DOES have a girlfriend now, co-star Kristen Stewart, who plays Bella Swan in the movie. According to one report, the pair were the last ones to leave the terminal to board the plane. “Out on the tarmac, he took her hand, like young lovers. They stopped and looked at each other, their plane, the scene. They seemed very calm, in love. They continued holding hands boarding the plane.” Awww, that’s sweet.
