Michael Sheen: It was huge fun doing New Moon
September 23, 2009 by Jane Boursaw
Actor Michael Sheen plays Aro in "The Twilight Saga: New Moon," coming out Nov. 20, 2009. He says that it was huge fun doing the movie, the cast is young and gorgeous, and people haven’t started swarming him on the streets – not yet anyway. He should probably be prepared, though, once the movie comes out. Those ancient vampires drive the teens a little crazy.
You can also catch him in several upcoming movies, including “Alice in Wonderland” (he plays The White Rabbit) and “Tron Legacy.”

Could Johnny Depp be taking some time off?
July 21, 2009 by Jane Boursaw
After a whirlwind press tour for "Public Enemies" and the upcoming "Alice in Wonderland," could Johnny Depp be looking at some time off? Although he has numerous film projects in the works, none of them are in a go-mode at this writing. A few that are in the works:
"The Incredible Mr. Limpet" – Producers are interested in Depp for the title role of Kevin Lima’s remake, but he hasn’t signed on and production won’t begin until next year.
"Pirates of the Caribbean 4" – With Gore Verbinski no longer in the director’s chair, this project has slowed to …read more
"Phoebe in Wonderland" – Preview & Trailer
February 14, 2009 by Jane Boursaw
When I heard about a movie called "Phoebe in Wonderland," I figured it would either be a fun kids’ flick or a dramatic movie. This one sounds more like the latter, with some fantasy thrown into the mix.
Elle Fanning (Dakota’s younger sister) plays Phoebe, a girl who really wants to be in her school’s production of "Alice in Wonderland." Patricia Clarkson (one of my favorites) casts her in the play, but Phoebe’s got some problems and starts acting out and causing problems for her parents (Felicity Huffman and Bill Pullman).
Before you know it, Phoebe is retreating into a …read more
