Natalie Portman will do sex scene in "Black Swan".

"Natalie Portman will have a "ecstasy-induced hungry aggressive angry" sex scene with Mila Kunis in the upcoming Darren Aronofsky-directed "Black Swan" film. Now, Portman has commented on it to V magazine. "It's not raunchy - it's extreme," she said.
Portman added why she was previously against getting nude on screen. "Previously I was figuring out my own sexual identity, likes and dislikes and all that stuff, and it's weird to be doing stuff on film as you're figuring it out," she said. "Also, being a sexual object when you're a kid is really uncomfortable." Source: www.worstpreviews.com

"New Moon": smoother than "Twilight"

"Chris Weitz has chosen a color palette (most notable in scenes involving the meadow and the confrontation in Italy) that is far more epic than fans might be used to. "I mean, just the colors and everything. It sounds really technical, but the first one had a kind-of blue tint to everything, which was to emphasize the coldness of Portland and everything."The colors in this are much more brown and gray, and it looks warmer than the first one," RPattz added. "I guess it's because of Jacob's introduction; I think that's what the idea was."

"The most shocking thing, for me, is the absence of Edward and the fact that it's still a movie on its own," said Kristen Stewart, explaining that there aren't many film franchises that can essentially tell its lead actor to go on vacation for a whole movie, yet still turn out so well. "I always thought that the only way I could play my part in 'Twilight' was if I was so completely behind Bella's confidence in the fact that she knows [being with Edward] is what she wants. And so, as soon as that's taken away, it's not 'Twilight' anymore."It's like, all of a sudden, you think for a minute that there's another story in this world that Stephenie Meyer created, and it's totally with the werewolves, and you totally believe Bella's love for Jacob," Stewart continued. "And then, just as soon as you're convinced of that, Edward gets back in the picture. It's like the most tortured love triangle.""The shots are a lot smoother" Pattinson said of a key difference that he noticed. "There was something about [Hardwicke's] 'Twilight,' where everything was very handheld and kind of shaky and gritty-looking. This is a lot more about smoothness and elegance."According to Stewart, Weitz might also surprise the audience with the way he helped the saga's actors take their skills to the next level. "It was really hard to play, and thus hopefully it comes across," Stewart said of the acting in the film, which she has said was some of the toughest she's ever done". Source: www.mtv.com

"My character is kind of evil and mean,” she says, laughing. “I have to have these red eyes which are kind of scary-looking and some really cool scenes. There’s one involving me and all the main cast, and all the other Italian vampires. I wasn’t required to do anything really physical but Jane really wants to get Bella, who just kills my character.” But only metaphorically, right? “Right,” says Fanning. “Jane wants to cause Bella pain so badly and that’s weird because I am really good friends with Kristen in real life now. To be mean to one another is strange, although her being scared of me was kind of cool.”As chance would have it, Fanning was midway through reading Meyer’s Twilight series when she got the call about the film. “That made reading the parts about Jane really fun when I knew it was going to be me,” she chirps. “I read all four books in a week and really enjoyed them. I think everyone will get something from the movie. I think these films are really for everyone – kids and adults alike, boys and girls ...”With roles in the Twilight saga, present and future, Fanning, it would seem, is now guaranteed an extended run in a copper-bottomed hit.Just a few days after we meet she’s heading off to begin work on Twilight’s third instalment, Eclipse. “It is getting a bit like a big family,” she says, grinning. “I’m in the second and the third films, and I’m now in the fourth film [Breaking Dawn], too. I am not in too much of it, just a little bit. I make my appearance there to scare Kristen’s character. We start on Eclipse very soon and I have never done that before, where I go back to a movie to do the sequel. When I first signed up I was nervous and didn’t know what to expect. The only person I had ever met from the cast was Kristen, very briefly, like twice, but honestly they were the nicest most welcoming people and I got right into it straight away. I’d never really been the new girl on set.”

Happy 32nd Birthday, Maggie Gyllenhaal!

"Secretary" is just that; it has all the elements of traditional movie romance (they meet, they become attached to each other, he can't come to terms with his feelings, she encounters a rival for her affections, etc.), but it's built around a relationship whose foundation is physical pain.It is a great testament to this film that the majority of an initially hostile audience stuck with it and warmed to it as the tale went on; that they went away with some understanding of the strength of the heroine's feelings, if not of her desire itself.Maggie Gyllenhaal is remarkable in this central role. She never allows the character to be reduced to the sum of her psychological problems, but plays her, even when deep in depression, as a complex, imaginative, sometimes exuberant young woman. This makes it much easier to understand how the attraction between the central characters develops".

"When I reported on Crazy Heart in 2008, the film was affiliated with the CMT network, yet drew my interest with a cast that included Jeff Bridges, Maggie Gyllenhaal, and Robert Duval. All of these actors excel in roles steeped in the weathering of life and excess, and this tale of, “a washed-up, alcoholic country singer (Bridges) who gets his life back on track thanks to a reporter-type (Gyllenhaal),” obviously played to those strengths on the surface. The addition to the cast of Colin Farrell, forever in our good graces for In Bruges, made this a must-see no matter what.Here is the updated synopsis: Bad Blake is a broken-down, hard-living country music singer who’s had way too many marriages, far too many years on the road and one too many drinks way too many times. And yet, Bad can’t help but reach for salvation with the help of Jean, a journalist who discovers the real man behind the musician. Bad also becomes the mentor to a contemporary country star, Tommy Sweet (Colin Farrell), while simultaneously struggling in the rising young crooner’s shadow. Duval plays a character named Wayne Kramer, but the role is apparently unrelated to the same-named guitarist of the Mc5. At this point in his career, it would take a serious misstep by Bridges not to accept him in a salt-of-the-earth, man’s-man role such as this. There aren’t a lot of great, non-metro actors left who are genuinely convincing and not polarizing in “heartland” material, and with Bridges lending vocal duties to the songs as well, the number decreases yet again. The title also reminds me of Bridges underrated performance as a struggling father on the fringe in American Heart. Country rock musician T Bone Burnett contributed original music and co-produced the project.With less than a month before it’s theatrical roll-out, expect a trailer shortly. Fox Searchlight will release the film in select cities on December 16th". Source: www.slashfilm.com

Edward & Bella: "Something always brings me back to you"

I feel like during New Moon, Bella (Kristen Stewart) is constantly being pulled into memories of or with Edward (Robert Pattinson), and she's trying to be let go of, but it never works.

Normal coloring is present, pinkish coloring is past, and black & white is Twilight. Basically goes in the story of New Moon!
