Michael Cera Wants A Threesome With Paul Rudd (And Martha Stewart)

By Leave a Comment

Michael-CeraIf you give people questions at random and give them no time to think, you can get some interesting answers. That’s how the ‘no filter’ section of a Huffpo Live interview works, and has now revealed that perhaps Michael Cera wouldn’t mind having a threesome with Paul Rudd!

Here’s what he said:
HuffPo: A couple weeks ago Martha Stewart admitted to having a threesome on Bravo’s ‘Watch What Happens Live,’ so we figured we’d ask you the same question. Have you ever had a threesome?
Michael Cera: A threesome with Martha Stewart, no. No, no, no, I would never bring a third person into that. I don’t want to degrade it. I don’t want to talk about my threesomes with Martha Stewart.

HP: What do you think of Paul Rudd?
MC: I would have a threesome with him. Me and him and Martha I think would … I think we could actually have a marriage, the three of us. To answer that question seriously, I think Paul Rudd is one of the funniest, most talented actors working. I think he’s amazing.

Somehow I can’t see it happening in real life though.

Saving Mr. Banks Trailer – Tom Hanks channels his inner Walt Disney

By Leave a Comment

It looks like Tom Hanks and Emma Thompson are hoping to dust off their Oscar outfits with nominations for Saving Mr. Banks, about Walt Disney’s difficulties getting Mary Poppins author PL Travers to allow him to make a film version.

The film follows how, before signing away the book’s rights, Mary Poppins author PL Travers’ demands for contractual script and character control circumvent not only Disney’s vision for the film adaptation, but also those of the creative team of screenwriter Don DaGradi and sibling composers Richard and Robert Sherman.

When Travers travels from London to Hollywood in 1961 to finally discuss Disney’s desire to bring her beloved character to the motion picture screen (a quest he began in the 1940s as a promise to his two daughters), Disney meets a prim, uncompromising sexagenarian not only suspect of the impresario’s concept for the film, but a woman struggling with her own past. During her stay in California, Travers’ reflects back on her childhood in 1906 Australia, a trying time for her family which not only moulded her aspirations to write, but also inspired the characters in her 1934 book.

The film is due for an Oscar-bait December 2013 release. [Read more…]

Sharlto Copley Is Going Hardcore For A Point Of View Thriller

By Leave a Comment

sharlto-copleyAfter District 9, Sharlto Copley said he wasn’t really planning to be an actor and was probably just gonna head back to South Africa and go back to work. However that’s changed with roles in The A-Team, Elysium, Oldboy and more. Now he’s signed up for Hardcore, from first time features writer/director writer  Ilya Naishuller.

Naishuller made the well-received POV short, Bad Motherf****r, which caught the eye of Timur Bekmambetov (Abraham Lincoln: Vampire Hunter), who handed him a deal to make a movie using the innovative point of view style.

Now much is known about the plot, although it will shoot in Russia (where Bekmambetov has a studio that can do things cheaply), but have English dialogue. The only other details, according to TheWrap, are that ‘the stylized action movie will feature sci-fi elements and find Copley killing a lot of bad guys to save a damsel in distress’.

You can get a feel for the intense Bad Motherf****r style with the vid below.

Disney Releases Nine New Frozen Character Portraits

By Leave a Comment

frozen-character-pic1
Disney’s Frozen looks like it could be pretty good. Now the House Of Mouse is hoping to get us more interested by introducing us to the film’s characters with nine new images and descriptions, which you can see above and below.

Here’s the synopsis: ‘Walt Disney Animation Studios, the studio behind “Tangled” and “Wreck-It Ralph,” presents “Frozen,” a stunning big-screen comedy adventure. Fearless optimist Anna (voice of Kristen Bell) sets off on an epic journey—teaming up with rugged mountain man Kristoff (voice of Jonathan Groff) and his loyal reindeer Sven—to find her sister Elsa (voice of Idina Menzel), whose icy powers have trapped the kingdom of Arendelle in eternal winter. Encountering Everest-like conditions, mystical trolls and a hilarious snowman named Olaf, Anna and Kristoff battle the elements in a race to save the kingdom.

‘The film is directed by Chris Buck (“Tarzan,” “Surf’s Up”) and Jennifer Lee (screenwriter, “Wreck-It Ralph”), and produced by Peter Del Vecho (“Winnie the Pooh,” “The Princess and the Frog”). Featuring music from Tony® winner Robert Lopez (“The Book of Mormon,” “Avenue Q”) and Kristen Anderson-Lopez (“In Transit”), “Frozen” is in UK cinemas in 3D on December 6, 2013’

Click on the character pics for larger versions and the descriptions.

Anna (voice of Kristen Bell) – Anna is more daring than graceful and, at times, can act before she thinks. But she’s also the most optimistic and caring person you’ll ever meet. She longs to reconnect with her sister, Elsa, as they were close during their childhood. When Elsa accidentally unleashes a magical secret that locks the kingdom of Arendelle in an eternal winter, Anna embarks on a dangerous adventure to make things right. Armed with only her fearlessness, a never-give-up attitude and her faith in others, Anna is determined to save both her kingdom and her family.
Duke of Weselton (voice of Alan Tudyk) – What the Duke of Weselton lacks in stature, he makes up for in arrogance and showboating. He’s determined to get close to the new queen—that is, until Elsa’s magical secret is revealed. Then he’s the first to call her a monster and try to turn her own kingdom against her—anything that might help him exploit Arendelle’s tradable goods.
Elsa (voice of Idina Menzel) – From the outside, Elsa looks poised, regal and reserved, but in reality, she lives in fear as she wrestles with a mighty secret—she was born with the power to create ice and snow. It’s a beautiful ability, but also extremely dangerous. Haunted by the moment her magic nearly killed her younger sister Anna, Elsa has isolated herself, spending every waking minute trying to suppress her growing powers. Her mounting emotions trigger the magic, accidentally setting off an eternal winter that she can’t stop. She fears she’s becoming a monster and that no one, not even her sister, can help her.
Hans (voice of Santino Fontana) – Hans is a handsome royal from a neighboring kingdom who comes to Arendelle for Elsa’s coronation. With 12 older brothers, Hans grew up feeling practically invisible—and Anna can relate. Hans is smart, observant and chivalrous. Unlike Elsa, Hans promises he’ll never shut Anna out; he just might be the connection she’s been waiting for all these years.
Kristoff (voice of Jonathan Groff) – Kristoff is a true outdoorsman. He lives high up in the mountains where he harvests ice and sells it to the kingdom of Arendelle. Rough around the edges, Kristoff’s the strong, no-nonsense type, who follows his own set of rules. He may seem like a loner, but he always has his best friend by his side—a loyal and extremely mangy reindeer named Sven.
Marshmallow – Marshmallow is an enormous icy snowman born from Elsa’s powers. He serves as a brute bodyguard charged with keeping intruders away from her ice palace. The menacing white beast doesn’t say much, but he packs a powerful punch.
Oaken (voiced by Chris Williams) – Oaken runs Wandering Oaken’s Trading Post and Sauna. But since Elsa’s massive winter storm hits in mid-July, he finds himself with a surplus of summer supplies. Deal-seekers beware: though he’s good-natured and helpful, if you cross him, Oaken won’t hesitate to throw you out of his humble establishment.
Olaf (voice of Josh Gad) – He’s Olaf and he likes warm hugs. Sprung from Elsa’s magical powers, Olaf is by far the friendliest snowman to walk the mountains above Arendelle. His innocence, outgoing personality and uncanny ability to disassemble himself at good and not-so-good times lead to some awkward, albeit laughable moments. He may also have the world’s most impossible dream, but what he doesn’t know won’t melt him—or will it?
Sven – A reindeer with the heart of a Labrador, Sven is Kristoff’s loyal friend, sleigh-puller and conscience. He makes sure his mountain-man companion is the stand-up guy Sven knows and loves, and does so without saying a word. A few emphatic snorts usually get his point across. Life would be perfect if only Kristoff would lose that ridiculous reindeer voice he likes to use when speaking for Sven (as if reindeers really talk that way).
