Quote of the Day: Eric Bana Wants a Nude Day

Posted by Robin Paulson Categories: New Line, Adaptation, Drama, Romance, Celeb News, Celebrity Gossip, Filmmaking, New Releases,

“The nude scenes never felt magical. They felt like a pain in the arse. I think I should have just had one big nude day. Wouldn’t that have been a good idea? Then I could have got it all over and done with, which would have been good. Those scenes were an unnecessary evil.”

- The Time Traveler’s Wife star Eric Bana on filming nude scenes. Then again, who can blame him—working with Rachel McAdams seems rather intimidating, even moreso when doing so in your birthday suit!

(Make sure to check out other notable quotes.)

First Look: Bana and McAdams in The Time Traveler’s Wife

Posted by Veronica Santiago Categories: New Line, Warner Bros, Adaptation, Drama, Romance, Trailers, Upcoming Releases,

Oh dear. If a two-minute trailer can get me teary-eyed…I doubt I could ever make it through the book.

Rachel McAdams, thanks to her performance in The Notebook, has already proven a talent for weepy romances. Now it looks as if she will do it again.

In The Time Traveler’s Wife, McAdams stars as Clare, the wife of a man with a rare genetic disorder. Eric Bana (Star Trek) plays Henry DeTamble, the husband who has no control over his random journeys. The story is based on the Audrey Niffenegger novel of the same name.

Look for the adaptation to unfold in theaters on August 14.
