A Conversation with Zoe Bell

26 October 2009 2:11 AM, PDT | Fangoria | See recent Fangoria news »

An accomplished stunt performer whose journey to Kill Bill was chronicled as the subject of the excellent documentary Double Dare, Zoe Bell has become a fixture in genre fare not only for her impressive stunt skills - but also her acting chops.

After a leading role in the Grindhouse installment Death Proof, Bell's recent work includes Bitch Slap (screening at our Trinity Of Terrors this weekend), a starring turn in Angel Of Death, and the most recent Tarantino effort Inglourious Basterds. Jason Anders recently sat down with bell for a discussion about her craft.

Ja:  Let's start off with talking about the film Death Proof, and your initial reaction to the script by Quentin Tarantino which had you playing yourself.  You originally thought this was a joke, right? Zb:  Well no, I didn't think the movie was a joke.  He was on his way over to my house with the script, »

Monday Night Poll: The Lamest Superhero Movie Villains

5 October 2009 8:18 PM, PDT | Cinematical | See recent Cinematical news »

I grew up loving all things Superman, but even as a lad of 13 I could tell that the villain in Superman IV -- Nuclear Man, created when Supes threw all the world's nuclear weapons into the sun -- was dumb. He had no personality. He didn't even have a name. "Nuclear Man" is what the closing credits called him, but no one in the film ever calls him anything. Rule No. 1 of being a supervillain: You must have a name. I cannot imagine any exceptions to that rule.

So Nuclear Man is probably my vote for the lamest villain in a superhero movie, but it's hardly a slam-dunk. He has a lot of competition. Arnold Schwarzenegger's campy Mr. Freeze in Batman & Robin is legendary. At the opposite end of the muscles scale, there's whiny Venom (Topher Grace) in Spider-Man 3 and emo-goth Blackheart (Wes Bentley) in Ghost Rider. And »

Who Should Play Catwoman? (Charlize Theron Shows Interest)

28 September 2009 5:07 PM, PDT | ScreenRant.com | See recent Screen Rant news »

This just in! Charlize Theron wouldn’t mind playing Catwoman in the sequel to the second highest grossing film of all time, The Dark Knight. Well that entire last sentence would qualify for a big, fat “Duh!” Can you tell me one person that wouldn’t say “Yes” to star in a billion dollar franchise if asked? Megan Fox was recently rumored to be playing the feminine milk-drinking feline villain a few weeks ago but Warner Bros. execs were quick to shoot that down. It’s not a direct quote but I think the press release said something like, “Um, Hell No!”

 

During an Stv interview that probably only consisted of some guy with a mini-voice recorder stalking her as she shopped for groceries, Theron said this:

“It’s news to me, but that’s kick-ass news. I like that… I think that what has happened to that franchise is amazing, »

'Surrogates' No Substitute for a Good Story

27 September 2009 9:30 PM, PDT | CinemaSpy | See recent CinemaSpy news »

The sci-fi–murder mystery hybrid Surrogates takes an intriguing idea — a future where people only interact through robot proxies — and kills it deader than its murderer’s brain-melted victims. This film from Jonathan Mostow (Terminator 3: Rise of the Machines) melds bits of I, Robot, The Matrix, and Minority Report, but it excises all the intelligence and style of its predecessors in the mind-numbing process.

Surrogates begins with a lazy look back at its futuristic world’s history, beginning with the invention of surrogates by Canter (James Cromwell). Fast forward 13 years, and the technology created to help people in wheelchairs has now been adopted by 98% of the world’s population (apparently even the starving live their lives through a surrogate…). People rarely leave their homes, instead sending the surrogates out to work and play. While their real bodies molder in specially equipped easy chairs, they feel every sensation that their surrogates experience, »

Bruce Willis delivers in 'Surrogates': Everything Else? Not so much

25 September 2009 7:35 AM, PDT | Denver Movies Examiner | See recent Denver Movies Examiner news »

It's been a great year for science fiction. From the fantastic reboot of Star Trek to the thoughtful District 9, can Surrogates rise from the questionable ether of Terminator 3: Rise of the Machines director Jonathan Mostow and Catwoman scribes John Brancato and Michael Ferris? The answer is, without a doubt, a very confident "kinda."

In the not too distance future, most of earth's population will fold laundry, drop off the kids and do the horizontal jiggy through remote-controlled robots called surrogates. Humanoid in its appearance, the technology allows their human operators the safety and relaxation of knowing that they're protected within the confines of their home while their better-looking extensions are taking care of business. Whatever business that is, is practically up to the operator.

Violent crime, class and race issues have been erased from daily lives along with other annoyances such as looking ugly and dealing with blemishes. »

Surrogates Review

24 September 2009 10:58 PM, PDT | FilmJunk | See recent FilmJunk news »

Surrogates Directed by: Jonathan Mostow Written by: Michael Ferris and John Brancato (screenplay), Robert Venditti and Brett Weldele (graphic novel) Starring: Bruce Willis, Radha Mitchell, James Cromwell, Rosamund Pike, Ving Rhames, Boris Kodjoe It's been a pretty solid year for science-fiction films thus far, with movies like Moon, District 9 and Watchmen all raising the bar for thoughtful futuristic tales on the big screen in one way or another. While this is great news for moviegoers, it's unfortunate for a filmmaker who is trying to put together a big budget action/sci-fi flick later in the year that has any hope of measuring up. Case in point: Surrogates director Jonathan Mostow, who finds himself faced with the unenviable task of following all of the aforementioned films, in addition to a whole summer's worth of massive special effects blockbusters. On the one hand, he has the advantage of Mr. Bruce Willis in the lead role, »

Charlize Theron purring over Catwoman role

24 September 2009 2:12 AM, PDT | Monsters and Critics | See recent Monsters and Critics news »

Charlize Theron would love to "kick a*s" as Catwoman. The Hollywood actress is thrilled to learn she is in the running to play the super-villain alongside Christian Bale and Sir Michael Caine in the upcoming sequel to Batman blockbuster 'The Dark Knight'. She said: "It's news to me, but that's kick-a*s news. I like that... I think that what has happened to that franchise is amazing, and director Chris Nolan is a genius. So I would be an idiot to not consider that." If the 34-year-old starlet accepts the role, she will be following in the footsteps of Michelle Pfeiffer and Halle Berry, who have both donned the iconic leather catsuit on the big screen.

Caine: 'No News on 'Batman 3''; But What of the Villains?

21 September 2009 9:10 PM, PDT | CinemaSpy | See recent CinemaSpy news »

That Michael Caine is such a rascal. Earlier this month, the English thespian claimed he read somewhere that Johnny Depp and Philip Seymour Hoffman are being considered as the Riddler and the Penguin, respectively, in the next Batman movie. Now in an interview with MTV.com, Caine does a 180-degree turn.

"There is nobody, there's no script, there's nothing," Caine said about the follow-up to The Dark Knight. He added that it could not possibly be made prior to 2011 because Inception, the next project from Batman Begins and Dark Knight director Christopher Nolan, is "such a big picture."

The actor, currently promoting his upcoming thriller Harry Brown, played Batman/Bruce Wayne’s butler and confidant Alfred Pennyworth in both revamped Batman movies. Although Caine remains very interested in where the franchise goes next, ever since he spoke out about Depp and Hoffman’s possible involvement, he’s been effectively cut off. »

Halle Berry Addresses Pregnancy Rumor With Skintight Dress

17 September 2009 9:52 PM, PDT | Celebrity Mania | See recent Celebrity Mania news »

Though Halle Berry and Gabriel Aubry have admitted they want to have another child in addition to their daughter Nahla Ariela Aubry, the couple apparently will not welcome new member in their family any time soon. Hitting the set of "The Jay Leno Show" on Thursday, September 17, the actress has debunked the pregnancy rumor by wearing a skintight dress.

According to sources at the studio, Halle, who wore a low-cut, short black dress and black thigh-high boots, wowed Jay Leno with her sexy look. The talk show's host then complimented her, which was then replied by the "Catwoman" star, saying "You know, thank you for that, Jay, because that must mean that pregnancy rumors can be put to bed!"

Moreover, Halle confessed she was kind of worry about her shape because the pregnancy rumor could hint that she looked curvier. "I was getting a complex! Because I was like, I've »

Warner Bros in new move to get DC Comics heroes on screen

9 September 2009 5:59 PM, PDT | The Geek Files | See recent The Geek Files news »

While Marvel steams ahead with a masterplan of comic book film projects - now backed by the might of Disney - Warner Bros has not enjoyed the same success with its DC Comics titles.

Studio bosses have fumbled and faltered in attempts to get DC's costumed crusaders such as Flash and Wonder Woman on to the big screen.

All that could at last begin to change. It was today announced that DC Comics is to be reorganised into a new company called DC Entertainment (Dce) within the Warner film division, with the aim of more dynamically adapting its comic characters into films, TV, video games and other products.

In July last year, I reported that Warner and DC were thrashing out a game plan for superhero movies and as far back in 2003 had wanted to create a new post to oversee film adaptations.

It seems finally to be happening, and »

'Twilight' Producers Close To Casting Halle Berry For Thriller 'Dark Tide'

9 September 2009 3:00 PM, PDT | MTV Movies Blog | See recent MTV Movies Blog news »

By choice or not, Halle Berry has stayed on the outskirts of Hollywood's radar in the last few years, appearing in just two relatively low-profile films, with a third indie still awaiting release. The folks behind the "Twilight" franchise, conversely, are at the epicenter of the pop culture zeitgeist.

Variety is reporting that the thriller "Dark Tide" will have Berry and two "Twilight" producers, Marty Bowen and Wyck Godfrey, joining forces. Nothing's set yet — the Oscar-winner is still in those mysterious "advance talks" — but if everything works out, Berry will sign on to play a diving instructor who suffers a near-fatal accident with a great white shark and then decides — screw it! — to head back to the ocean.

The script comes from newbie Amy Sorlie, a screenwriter and journalist who — if her Twitter account is an accurate representation — is a committed beach bum based in Los Angeles. Clark Johnson, a »

Halle Berry vs. shark

It's probably safe to assume that we won't see Halle Berry back as Storm, Catwoman or Bond babe Jinx, but that doesn't mean she's done with action. Berry provides her Oscar-winning hotness to Dark Tide, a thriller being directed by Clark Johnson (S.W.A.T., "The Shield"). The story will require the actress to be wet and clad in skintight/nominal attire -- it conerns "a diving instructor who returns to the deep after a near-fatal incident with a Great White shark."

The worst movies ever to grace the screen

8 September 2009 3:00 PM, PDT | AfterEllen.com | See recent AfterEllen.com news »

A few weeks ago, I called Sandra Bullock's rom-com, All About Steve, part of her comeback tour. Boy, did I get that wrong.

What I didn't know at the time was that All About Steve has been collecting shelf dust for two years, because the movie's financial backers didn't know what to do with it. After Bullock's stellar box office showing in The Proposal and Bradley Cooper's surprise success in The Hangover, the good folks who brought us Miss Congeniality 2 decided to go ahead and release Steve.

It came out Friday to the worst Rotten Tomatoes ratings I have ever seen in my life.

It was late afternoon on Friday before it moved past a zero percent approval rating.

Still, Steve brought in over 13 million dollars on opening weekend (though there is no record of how many people demanded their ten bucks back after the movie was over). So, »

Halle Berry and Gabriel Aubry Rumored Expecting Their Second Baby

1 September 2009 7:09 PM, PDT | Celebrity Mania | See recent Celebrity Mania news »

"Catwoman" actress Halle Berry is said expecting her second baby with living partner Gabriel Aubry. Life and Style reports the 43-year-old beauty is currently three months pregnant. "Halle is overjoyed," an insider says.

"The first time, she struggled so much to get pregnant and eventually conceived through in vitro fertilization. This time, the baby was conceived through artificial insemination. She's just ecstatic to be pregnant again. She wasn't sure if she'd have another baby, so she's very happy!" the insider explains further to Life and Style. However, Halle's representative has yet to comment on the news.

Halle Berry and French-Canadian supermodel Gabriel Aubry began dating in November 2005. The couple welcomed their first child, Nahla Ariela Aubry, on March 16, 2008. Additionally, Halle has another child, named India, whom she adopted from her ex-husband Eric Benet. »
