Michael Cera in "Nick & Norah's Infinite Playlist" (2008).
"Scott Pilgrim" big screen adaptation, opening in theaters on Aug. 13, stars Michael Cera, Mary Elizabeth Winstead, Kieran Culkin, Chris Evans, Anna Kendrick, Alison Pill, Brandon Routh and Jason Schwartzman."Well, we love the tagline – “An epic of epic epicness” – and the way the logo is formed from the energy-lines blazing out of Scott Pilgrim’s bass. It’s by no means a conventional poster – there’s little here to actually tell non-Pilgrims what the film’s about (namely, a slacker is forced to battle his new girlfriend’s seven evil exes, while grappling with the mysteries of love, life and something else beginning with ‘L’), and it’s interesting that Michael Cera’s face is being withheld, for the time being at least. Overall, though, the impression is that this is going to rock, and there’s nothing wrong with that. Expect the campaign to start ramping up soon-ish, with the film’s August 6th date looming large".

Kristen Stewart and Dakota Fanning sound off on playing real-life rock stars, how they prepared for their roles and more! "She's really hot," Kristen Stewart told MTV News about Gaga. "She's got a look."
Co-star Dakota Fanning concurred: "I am a fan of Lady Gaga because I think she's a really good singer and a really great entertainer and when you watch her perform, you know it's going to be a show. I think that's really cool."
The women might be Gaga fans, but don't expect the duo to ever belt out a line from "Poker Face" or "Bad Romance" in public. While they played rock stars onscreen, both confess to being deathly afraid of karaoke.
"I would never karaoke," Fanning said. "I am so scared. That is the scariest thing. Getting up in front of a room of strangers and singing songs — that is so scary to me."
"I would never karaoke either," Stewart echoed. "Every time I've even tried to do that, I've regretted it two lines in, and I end up talking [the lyrics]. It's making me embarrassed talking about it." Source: www.mtv.com
"Twilight" stars Robert Pattinson and Peter Facinelli have told MTV News that their ideal director for "Breaking Dawn," the still-announced adaptation of the final volume in the vampire series, would be two-time Oscar-nominated director Gus Van Sant. An Entertainment Weekly report on Tuesday suggested that Van Sant ("Milk") is in fact one of three high-profile directors who have been approached to helm the film, along with Sofia Coppola ("Lost in Translation") and Bill Condon ("Dreamgirls").
Now MTV News has received exclusive confirmation about the development from Kristen Stewart herself. "I'm glad that's out and about," she said about the outreach to the directors. "I didn't know that was something that people knew."
EW had previously confirmed the anonymous report with Van Sant's rep but hadn't yet received word from Coppola's or Condon's spokespeople. Summit Entertainment declined to comment on the report.
While any directorial decision will reportedly have to wait until Melissa Rosenberg hands in a detailed draft for the script — and there is still no word about if "Breaking Dawn" will be split into two separate films — Stewart professed her excitement about any of the three directors helming the movie.
"I think it's awesome," she said. "I think it's so cool that they're reaching. I think anyone of those people would be great."
Previously, Pattinson told us that Van Sant would be the perfect pick because of the setting and the content of many of his previous films — which include "Good Will Hunting," "My Own Private Idaho" and "Elephant."
"He shoots everything in Portland. He's good at making it look beautiful," Pattinson said, adding of "Breaking Dawn," "It's all about teenage love and obsessions. I think Gus Van Sant would be great."
New still of Jake Gyllenhaal as Prince Dastan in "Prince of Persia: The Sands of Time".
-Was Jake Gyllenhaal his first choice to play the title character and what was it about him that got him the part?
-“You had to have someone of a certain age,” answers Newell. “The prince had to have a command of the screen, which Jake obviously does and is partly what makes Jake a very interesting actor. I looked around and Jake was the first name that came into my head. And though I did meet lots and lots of other actors, I kept coming back to him.” Opening soon across the Philippines , “Prince of Persia: The Sands of Time” is distributed by Walt Disney Studios Motion Pictures International".

Robert Pattinson
Shrieking, ululating, OMG-ing teen girls aren't usually the best arbiters of men's style. (See: Cassidy, David; Mark, Marky; Boys, Backstreet.) So give the nearest tween a high five for freaking out over Robert Pattinson, the British sensation who stars in gossip columns, gossip sites, and oh yeah, a little billiondollar franchise called Twilight. Young Rob's probably got the best head of hair since James Dean, and he lets it do the talking. He also lets it fly: no pompadour, no side part… As far as we can tell, he just runs his hands through it every five minutes. And the clothes? What clothes? A pair of jeans, a T-shirt, an unbuttoned and untucked plaid shirt…That's it. He dresses his age (23); he dresses to his strengths; he dresses so you don't give a damn about how he's dressed. —WILL WELCH
James Dean There's a reason why young guys like Robert Pattinson and James Franco are still channeling James Dean: James Franco on the cover of "GQ" magazine.
The man was a master at the art of looking good while appearing not to give a damn. Sure, his efforts were aided by criminally good genes, but he also had an unparalleled gift for making learned actions—like flinging a jacket over his shoulder or dangling a cigarette from his lips—seem innate. And while his personal life was infamously chaotic, Jimmy, in his short twenty-four years, had his sense of style pretty well sorted out. His mumbled speech, his stumbling walk, his trademark slouch—they were all branded with the same pensive recklessness. In a T-shirt and jeans or decked out in a tux and chunky eyeglass frames, he brooded just the same. —ANDREW RICHDALE
Johnny Depp After more than a quarter century in front of the camera, Johnny Depp has shown us everything but himself. Not an easy task when you've got those cheekbones, that tousled hair, and an unmitigated youthfulness, which Depp has worked hard to cloak by playing reclusive savants and rock 'n' roll pirates. Johnny Depp in "Benny & Joon" (1993).
But we keep searching, trying to nail down his hobo chic—a style that derives from a life spent kicking around the dusty South and the French countryside. "I don't think he's remotely interested in fashion. He's a complete instigator of fashion," says Penny Rose, the costume designer who collaborated with the actor to create Pirates of the Caribbean's randy Jack Sparrow. "His look is always eye-stopping, clever, and completely individual." Or, like the last two drags on one of his hand-rolled cigarettes, raw and unapologetically gratifying. —HILARY ELKINS Source: www.gq.com
Chris Cooper and Emilie de Ravin in "Remember Me" (2010).
"Remember Me" Robert Pattinson's attempt to branch out from his trademark lovelorn-vampire role (to a lovelorn regular-guy role), was only a modest performer at the box office this weekend, earning $8.3 million. But the film offers several notable attributes; in addition to Pattinson's first turn as a leading man in a mainstream release not titled "Twilight", it's a mid-budget drama in a time when such films are an endangered breed. And it came from Summit, a company that has flirted with a number of genres, but never this one. Kristen Stewart as Bella and Robert Pattinson as Edward in "Twilight" (2008).
-So this was before the 'Twilight' phenomenon took hold? Kristen Stewart in Eva Magazine April 2010.
-NO: It was right around the time of Comic-Con, when they started to realize how big a movie they had on their hands. But we needed to get Rob interested too. He had read a lot of scripts. He was at the Oakwood Apartments and he would drive to the In-N-Out Burger every day and read scripts in the back of his car. And he eventually read ours and said he wanted to do it. Then we had to put together a budget that made sense [about $16 million] before we could get going. -Do you think the fan frenzy ever gets to Pattinson? NO: I have a great respect for him. The attention he's gotten over "Twilight" is incredible and he handles it with such grace. I've never seen him in a bad mood about it. The paparazzi do get to him a little, I think, going back to Britain has been a lot easier for him. He told me a story the other day that he was in a pub and after two hours of sitting there the bartender said, "You know, you look just like the kid from 'Twilight.' '' And then the bartender said, "Oh my God, you are that kid."' And then they kind of walked away. [We] Brits are like that. [We're] more self-effacing. A Brit sees a famous person and he almost crosses the street. Did you see anything from Emilie or Rob that gives you the sense they have seriously bright acting careers ahead of them? NO: They both take their craft so seriously. There's a soulfulness to them too. And I think Rob really wants to be a serious actor. The other stuff is just part of the job".

"Brought together by charismatic weirdo/record producer Kim Fowley (Michael Shannon), the girls develop a "product" based on "women's libido" in place of women's lib. Jett's unique blend of allure and threat, apathy and determination, gets a mumbling, hyper-naturalized take from Stewart—more Brando than Bella Swan. Dakota Fanning as Cherie Currie in "The Runaways".
Cherie spirals through drunken public meltdowns into the ultimate embarrassment: a straight job. This drowsy spell snaps when Jett is apparently struck by divine inspiration to cover "I Love Rock 'n' Roll" while jumping up and down on a bed in her panties". Source: www.citypages.com
The Runaways just barely scraped the bottom of the charts in the early fall of 1976, around the same time the band played their first gig at the legendary New York punk club CBGB's. However, when the Runaways mounted a tour of Japan in June of that year, they were greeted with sold-out arena gigs and rabidly enthusiastic audiences who didn't consider them a joke ("Cherry Bomb" had, in fact, topped the Japanese charts). ~Steve Huey, All Music Guide
"-There’s an important line in the film in which the Kim Fowley character says the band is not about women's lib, but is instead about "women’s libido."
-That wasn’t my line. That was a line a writer or adapter created. I had a similar sentiment, but that’s not a quote. -What have you learned about constructing a band versus a band having to be an organic thing?
-There’s no difference. It’s all grind. Whether the guys farm themselves or you farm them or it happens like "American Idol", the public either buys it or they don’t. There’s nothing sacred about the process". Source: latimesblogs.latimes.com
