VIDEO: See Russell Crowe in First ‘Noah’ Trailer
Posted by Robin Paulson Categories: Paramount, Drama, Religious, Trailers, Upcoming Releases, Videos,
Hollywood gets Biblical with Darren Aronofsky's upcoming Russell Crowe vehicle Noah, and all I can say is that they seem to have gone overboard with the CGI.
From the looks of the trailer - which sees Crowe sporting a lumberjack beard and an ark that looks more like a wooden shipping container than an actual ship - Aronofsky has basically made a Passion of the Christ version of The Day After Tomorrow. Perhaps this is why Christian and Jewish audiences haven't received the film well at early test screenings - one Christian writer, Brian Godawa, got a hold of the script and went so far as to brand it dissapointing, "manipulative narcissistic nonsense." The director - whose last film Black Swan earned one Oscar and four other Oscar nods - has been unsurprisingly dismissive of the studio's concerns over the test screenings.

Posted by Andru Edwards Categories: Drama, Romance, Celebrity Gossip, New Releases,
Emma Watson formed a band with her co-stars from The Perks of Being a Wallflower. The 22-year-old actress teamed up with her castmates - including Logan Lerman - to start a group called Octopus Jam and write some songs.
"Throughout the movie we all made music together. Our band was called Octopus Jam. I sing and Logan Lerman is a classical composer, and he created a piece for me. Most nights we would sit and play music, so that was fun," she said.

Emma Watson’s ‘Epic’ Kissing Scene
Posted by Andru Edwards Categories: Adaptation, Drama, Romance, Celebrity Gossip, Filmmaking, Upcoming Releases,
Emma Watson enjoyed her "epic" kissing scene in The Perks of Being a Wallflower. The 22-year-old actress has a steamy smooch with Logan Lerman in the coming of age drama, and was so moved by the scene when she read the script, she knew she was going to have to be a special on set moment.
"I mean, when I read our first kiss scene, it's so epic. It's like the most beautiful scene I've ever seen written on a page. And it was like, 'Oh, we're going to have to kill this one!' Like, it's so good, I wanted to do it justice. And it's so emotional and we're both so vulnerable in it, but the main thing was I get to do it with Logan. He makes me feel so safe, so it's going to be fine, which made it fine," she told MTV News.
While Logan made Emma feel comfortable for the scene, he was not so confident about the kiss because he was nervous about locking lips in front of the crew. "[It was] nerve-racking. Those scenes are always hard to do when there's 15, 20 other people in the room," he explained.

Box Office Breakdown: Wonderful Start for Alice in Wonderland
Posted by Veronica Santiago Categories: 20th Century Fox, Disney, Fox Searchlight, Paramount, Sony, Warner Bros, Action, Adaptation, Adventure, Animation, Drama, Family, Horror, Music, Romance, Science Fiction, Comedy, Thrillers, Box Office, Lists,
Something tells me we’ll be seeing more collaborations between Johnny Depp and Tim Burton soon.
Alice in Wonderland, the latest project from the famous movie-making team, unfolded to a whopping $116 million over the Oscar weekend. Disney’s 3-D adaptation had the best open ever for a non-sequel and the largest debut for any winter release outside of the holiday season. (And we thought Passion of the Christ‘s $83.8 million looked good six years ago.)
Tim Burton’s entry gave the director his best first weekend to date (compared to the $68.5 million Planet of the Apes grossed in 2001). The movie did, though, come in second to Johnny Depp’s personal high. (Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Men’s Chest raked in $135.6 million in 2006.)
Alice also topped all 3-D openers…including Avatar. (Granted, James Cameron did have a blizzard to contend with at the time.)

Box Office Breakdown: Cop Out Misses Out

When is a second place finish considered good news? When it’s the biggest debut you’ve had in your career.
Despite recently being kicked off a Southwest Airlines flight and losing out to Shutter Island, Kevin Smith still has something to smile about. His latest directorial project, Cop Out, opened to $18.2 million over the weekend. That figure surpasses his previous best of $11.1 million for 2001’s Jay and Silent Bob Strike Back.
And while Bruce Willis has clearly seen better days, he hasn’t in some time. Fortunately, his comedic partnership with Tracy Morgan raised over $3 million more than his last major outing, Surrogates, did last September.

Avatar may have finally bested Titanic, but Leonardo DiCaprio still has reason to smile.
Shutter Island, Leo’s latest collaboration with Martin Scorsese, earned $41 million over the past three days—more than twice what it’s nearest competitor pulled in. The gross was not only the actor’s personal best (2002’s Catch Me If You Can earned $30.1 million) but Scorsese’s as well. (The Academy Award winner rang in $26.9 million with 2006’s The Departed.)
Another Oscar-winning helmer, Roman Polanski, also had a bit of success at the box office this weekend. The director, who has been at the center of legal drama recently, saw his film The Ghost Writer rake in $183,009 while in limited release. That amount equates to a $45,000 per screen average.

Despite receiving less than enthusiastic reviews, Valentine’s Day remained the point of attraction for many romance-minded ticket buyers this weekend. Garry Marshall’s romantic comedy wooed audiences over the holiday period while simultaneously breaking records in the process.
Warner Bros.’ ensemble cast combined their efforts to pull in $63.1 million over the past four days ($56.2 million for just the first three). The feature became the highest-grossing film during any President’s or Valentine’s Day frame while also topping the studio’s list of four-day debuts.
