Bryce Dallas Howard in "Eclipse"

"Bryce Dallas Howard, the actress best-known for playing Gwen Stacy in "Spider-Man 3" and for starring in the worst M. Night Shyamalan films, will join the cast of "Twilight" starting with the third film "Eclipse" (scheduled for release in 2010). She'll take on the role of Victoria, the nomadic vampire who is trying to kill Bella and whose role beefs up significantly in the third film.Howard is something of Hollywood royalty, as her father, Ron Howard, has been in the business for decades. He broke in as a child star on "The Andy Griffith Show", graduated to a role on "Happy Days" and has since become one of the most prolific and varied directors in film, creating modern classics like "Apollo 13", "Willow" and "Cinderella Man". (He is also responsible for "The Da Vinci Code", but it's hard to hold that against him considering he brought "Arrested Development" to television). But though Ron's contribution to American pop culture is great, his best recent work has been in a cameo in the video for Jamie Foxx's "Blame It" where he is seen rolling with Jake Gyllenhaal, Forest Whitaker and Samuel L. Jackson at a club. It's hard to believe that Ron is much of a club guy, but he makes the appearance work if only because his look could easily be described as anti-hip-hop. Still, he looks more at home toasting champagne with those ladies than Gyllenhaal does".

"Damnit! Where were all the beautiful girls who liked weird guys in my high school? Next Donnie screws his courage to the sticking place and asks Gretchen to be his girlfriend in a scene of perfect awkward realism, and she accepts".

"New Moon" star Robert Pattinson is claiming that his charming character in Twilight is not what his million of fans have made him out to be.The Vampire stud told British Ok! that he doesn't understand why girls always love the bad guy. He said, "It’s weird, but girls always seem like that. Being a guy, you always just look at girls and think, ‘why are you with that guy?’He added, "With virtually anyone, the nice guys always seem to finish last. You always get weirdos like Edward who seem to attract women for some reason. If Edward wasn't a fictional character and you met him in reality, he is like one of thoseguys who would probably be an axe murderer or something."He also confessed that he doesn't hate being in the spotlight as much as people are putting on. "I had no idea people could get so obsessed. But it’s not scary - it’s amazing", he says".

"Take, for instance, “(500) Days of Summer.” It may be one of the more conventional films he’s taken on — although it’s shrewd of Gordon-Levitt to play a romantic lead as a change-up from his usual character-actor roles — but it’s a bold choice, nonetheless. After all, as the film’s narrator informs us (and as the title implies), this may be a boy-meets-girl story but it’s not a love story. And in the same way that most action stars refuse to die on screen, there’s no doubt any number of rom-com heroes who won’t take a script in which they don’t get the girl at the end".

"When the beautiful and exotic Danielle (Elisha Cuthbert of Fox’s “24”) moves in next door, it becomes readily apparent all of the young man’s questions will be more than answered. Where he’s shy, she’s outgoing; where Mat is insecure, Danielle seams to brim over with confidence. Together, she’ll help him discover there is more to life than can be found in books. Heck, maybe they’ll even find love.His is a performance of real depth, of endearing maturity, and like contemporaries Jake Gyllenhaal (“Donnie Darko”) and Tobey Maguire (“Seabiscuit”, “Spider-Man”), Hirsch is an every-day looking kid with an acting ability beyond his years".

Hollywood Killed the Macho Star
"Americans are falling for a dynamic new class of leading man: The star's insecure hero dueled a fearsome, unknowable nemesis with the help of loyal sidekicks, struggled through the treachery of romantic love and found his way, with all due Hollywood heroism, by the time the credits rolled.They've followed many of their heroes all the way from TV, where even Arrested Development star Michael Cera's brand of youthful, ironic (and admittedly cancelled) cool made the same indelible impression on his cohort as Clint Eastwood's volatile, Cold War-era Rowdy Yates made fifty years ago among Rawhide viewers. Had Emile Hirsch's characters not died at the end of Into the Wild or had a finish-line kiss interrupted by an adolescent brat in Speed Racer -or had either of those not disappointed at the box office, maybe he'd have been the one working his way over Deschanel in "(500) Days".

Jake Gyllenhaal will play Joe Namath

"Initially rumored nearly two years ago, a recent update to Jake Gyllenhaal's IMDb filmography is finally confirming him as the actor chosen to portray the New York Jets' legendary quarterback.

The film is expected to follow Namath's life as one of the game's first true stars while transcending the sport to become the most recognizable face of American football.

Adapting Broadway Joe's story to the big screen will be David Hollander, most recently known for his work on A&E's critically-acclaimed drama The Cleaner. Mad Chance and Andrew Lazar will handle the production end of the film.
It's unknown where Gyllenhaal's portrayal of Namath will begin, especially given Joe Willie's numerous exploits in the early stages of his career. However, there are at least two logical starting points to properly introduce him to wider audiences.

The first of possible introductions could focus upon Namath's 1964 National Championship with the Alabama Crimson Tide under celebrated head coach Bear Bryant.
But the film has to be done right. Gyllenhaal's resemblance to the illustrious quarterback cannot be the driving force behind capturing Namath's essence for modern day movie-watchers.
A Joe Namath film has to do more than paint a picture of the league's first superstar quarterback.

For the sake and integrity of history, the New York Jets players and coaches surrounding Namath must be honored properly.
Outside of 2004's Friday Night Lights and portions of 1999's Any Given Sunday, football scenes employ too much slow-motion as the primary tactic for building on-field drama. Those two films managed to bring the bone-crunching grittiness of the gridiron to life.


Most importantly—and it doesn't matter how it's done—Mr. Hollander must find a way to incorporate Namath's Noxzema commercial with the late Farrah Fawcett into the story".

New images of Prince of Persia

"Empire Online has put forth a series of brand new photos from "Prince of Persia: Sands of Time". Two of the fresh pictures display Jake Gyllenhaal as Prince Dastan and Gemma Arterton as Princess Tamina trying to make their escape.

The first one sees the two drenched from head to toe with water, jumping off from what seems to be a palace. The second one captures them escaping on horseback. In addition to those two images, photos of director Mike Newell and producer Jerry Bruckheimer on the set are also included.

Based on Ubisoft Montreal's 2003 video game of the same name, "Prince of Persia: Sands of Time" follows Dastan, a street urchin in 6th century Persia who after showing valor in battle, is adopted by the king as his heir. Now as the fate of the world is in jeopardy, he must join forces with Tamina, a feisty and exotic princess, to prevent a villainous nobleman from possessing the Sands of Time, a gift from the gods that can reverse time and allow its possessor to rule the world".

"While once upon a time it was McGregor and Law who made it to Hollywood, now we have the likes of Gemma Arterton. Already known for her brief-but-memorable role as a Bond girl in Quantum of Solace, the 23-year-old from Gravesend will next be seen in two of the biggest films of 2010, the video-game adaptation Prince of Persia: The Sands of Time and a remake of the cult favourite Clash of the Titans.With Prince of Persia being backed by the producer Jerry Bruckheimer, inevitable comparisons are being made between Arterton and Knightley, whose breakthrough came in Pirates of the Caribbean courtesy of the very same mogul.

"It's always funny", says Arterton. "Especially with girls, people always want to them in little brackets, which they belong in. I don't think I belong in the same bracket as Keira Knightley. I'm completely different, and from a very different background, and even have different accents. It's just because of Jerry Bruckheimer and it's a period film... it's an obvious thing to say. I don't mind. I'm confident in my own ability to not worry about being compared to people." Source: artsandentertainment.independentminds.livejournal.com
