Femme fatales: Myrna Loy, Lana Turner, Lizabeth Scott... and Emma Watson

Emma Watson in Vogue US magazine, July 2011: Watson’s gamine beauty is offset by a Tom Ford gold chain-mail top. Undercover skirt with brass feather overlay. Louis Vuitton clutch.

We headed to London to spend a few days with Emma Watson on her home turf—including a stop by the set of her first Vogue cover shoot, with Mario Testino. On the eve of her twenty-first birthday, the actress talked to us about the perils and pleasures of her young whirlwind life, and what she's looking forward to most in her next post–Harry Potter chapter.

Emma Watson on fighting to balance education and work: “I have felt for the last ten years I have had this battle; I’ve been fighting so hard to have an education. It’s been this uphill struggle. I was Warner Bros.’ pain in the butt. I was their scheduling conflict. I was the one who made life difficult. I just realized at one point that I can’t fight everything. I have to move in the direction of it—and go with it.”

Rambova had taken exotic stills of Myrna for an unreleased movie "What Price Beauty?" that made the rounds to fan magazines and interest from Warner Brothers who signed her for a contract in the mid 1920's. Some of her first films playing a femme fatale we're in "A Girl in Every Port" 1928 starring Louise Brooks and Victor McLaglen. By 1929 she had co-star billing opposite Victor McLaglen again in the war adventure "The Black Watch". The film was directed by John Ford and Myrna was made up to play a native princess who wins the heart of the British soldier. Her third role as the non American beauty who captures a mans heart came in "The Perfect Song" 1929 starring John Boles.

Myrna Loy (1905-1993)

Born as Myrna Adele Williams, Myrna Loy was known as one of the Queens of Hollywood in the 30's. At the end of the silent era, Myrna Loy started her career as an exotic, Theda Bara-like femme fatale. Fortunately, she was rescued by the advent of the sound picture, where she was recast in the role of the witty, urbane, professional woman.

Once again Emile Hirsch is a drug dealer again (Alpha Dog) and this time he needs his mom dead so he turns to the former surfer dude now hitman Matthew McConaughey, this one will provide much amusement. Will premire at the Toronto Film Festival.

During the interview, Hirsch talked about shooting in Moscow, filming in Red Square with thousands of people watching, being at Comic-Con, the Wachowski’s underappreciated Speed Racer (which is one of my favorite films of 2008), Oliver Stone’s Savages, William Friedkin’s Killer Joe, Twice Born with Penelope Cruz (he’s filming this in the fall), and a lot more.

Emile Hirsch at Comic-Con: Day 3 on 23rd July 2011

"They can see us, but we can't see them". Summit has debuted the first official trailer for sci-fi thriller The Darkest Hour, directed by Chris Gorak (Right at Your Door), starring Emile Hirsch, Joel Kinnaman, Olivia Thirlby and Rachael Taylor. We've been teasing the reveal of this trailer with plenty of concept art, but finally get to take a look at this and it looks awesome. It's a fresh twist on alien invasion thrillers, as the extraterrestrials really are electrical forces, and the things they can do with that are just, well, awesome. This has slight a District 9 feel (the weaponry) but I think it looks great, there's never enough original sci-fi!


Directed by Chris Gorak (Right at Your Door), produced by Timur Bekmambetov (Wanted, Abraham Lincoln: Vampire Hunter) and written by Jon Spaihts (Ridley Scott's Prometheus), the film is about five young people who find themselves stranded in Moscow, fighting to survive in the wake of a devastating alien attack. Emile Hirsch (Speed Racer) leads the cast including Olivia Thirlby (Juno), Max Minghella (The Social Network), Rachael Taylor (Transformers) and Joel Kinnaman. Summit Entertainment is bringing Chris Gorak's The Darkest Hour to theaters on December 23rd, Christmas weekend, this winter. Source: www.firstshowing.net

Until now, we were positive it was not possible for Jake Gyllenhaal to be any hotter. Well, Jake has proved us wrong, and we’re fine with that! Jake was head (bald head that is) to toe in police uniform on the set of his latest flick, End Of Watch yesterday in L.A.

Jake even pulls out his gun at one point as he inches his way toward a car with his co-star, Michael Pena close-by. Source: www.okmagazine.com
