Chris Evans and Scott Evans
Captain America star Chris Evans has long been known as a big supporter of gay rights, and also a big supporter of his gay brother Scott (who’s probably best known for his role in US soap One Life To Live). Now Chris has been talking to The Fix about how those two things are, unsurprisingly, not a coincidence.

Now that every piece of intellectual property that anyone has ever heard of is fair game for a movie adaptation, it’s the turn of Minecraft to be lining up for a big screen adaptation. The movie may have now found its star, as
In 2011 there was a lot of excitement about The Green Hornet getting a movie makeover, and initially Seth Rogen and Jay Chou might be pretty good as Britt Reid as Kato. However, Michel Gondry’s movie turned out to be pretty ropey, and got bad notices from both critics and audience. It did however make over $220 million at cinemas around the Globe.
