Exclusive: Tom Hardy On Charlize Theron And The 'Massive' Scale Of 'Mad Max: Fury Road'
4 December 2009 1:00 PM, PST | MTV Movies Blog | See recent MTV Movies Blog news »
"It's terrifying."
That's how Tom Hardy describes the ginormous scale of "Mad Max: Fury Road." And it's a terror the British actor will confront next year as he takes over the title role pioneered by Mel Gibson in George Miller's three previous post-apocalyptic action flicks.
"It's massive. It's enormous," he continued. "It's like turning a mountain upside down and pouring it through a sieve."
Guiding him through this Herculean task will be Miller – the film's budget is reported to be $100 million – and for that, Hardy is insanely thankful. "There's something very attractive about working with George," the actor said during the interview with MTV's Josh Horowitz. "It's like being in a family and trying to create something together and let's trying to go across the ocean in a canoe. If anybody can do, it's George."
"[It's] dangerous, but not big," he added with a laugh.

David and Charlize Draw Crowds and Cards For the World Cup
4 December 2009 12:30 PM, PST | Popsugar.com | See recent Popsugar news »
David Beckham and Charlize Theron stole the show at this afternoon's World Cup draw in Cape Town. David got a head start on his trip to South Africa, having had time to do some charity work with kids after arriving a few days ago. Charlize was in her home country for the soccer event, which organized teams in eight groups that will battle to the finals in next year's World Cup. David, who's hoping to play in the tournament, might end up playing with the English team as they battle the USA in the first round. He's not afraid of running into any of his Galaxy teammates during the matchup, as he says, "I think at this point of time you can't be fearing anybody - as a nation you should never fear another country."

For Angelina Jolie, sex scenes are easy
4 December 2009 11:26 AM, PST | ReelLoop.com | See recent Reel Loop news »
Angelina Jolie and sex pretty much go together like peanut butter and jelly, pants and shirts and, yes, even Megan Fox and photo shoots. She’s not the kind of person that has a problem getting naked and never had an issue filming sex scenes in her movies.
“I think it’s a bigger deal to be emotionally naked,” said Jolie, who filmed racy sex scenes with actor Ethan Hawke in the 2004 movie Taking Lives. She also shot “El Lesbian” scenes in Gia. “The thing is, if it’s important to the film, then just do it. It’s not a big deal to be naked.”
Mrs. Bradd Pitt added: “As for love scenes, it’s a strange thing for me but I can do a sex or love scene quite easily. A soul connection is very difficult. A physical thing is, for me, very easy. You find something about »

The Naughts: The Actress of the '00s
4 December 2009 10:17 AM, PST | ifc.com | See recent IFC news »
If time is an avenger, then the Naughts have had it both ways with Nicole Kidman. In the span of a decade, Kidman was transformed from arm candy into an artist -- the rare movie star who made genuinely interesting choices -- eclipsing her ex-husband, Tom Cruise, who filed for divorce in 2000, with an Oscar win and the embrace, finally, of her peers on her own terms.
However, as the '00s limp to a close, Kidman seems to be succumbing to a personal vendetta against time: by manipulating her face into a mask -- a waxworks ideal of "Nicole Kidman" -- rather than continuing to deploy it as a functional instrument, an artist's tool, Kidman is taking perhaps the most surprising risk of her career: she has chosen to age into glacial iconicity. In this, she exemplifies a decade that treated actresses with ambivalence, waving all the flags of »

David Beckham took off from La a few days ago for a trip to South Africa. He's due to appear at today's World Cup draw alongside Charlize Theron, but he spent yesterday afternoon in a more philanthropic way. He paid a visit to Cape Town's Khayelitsha township, where he played soccer with a few local kids before teaming up with Unicef to visit a clinic serving mothers and kids who suffer from AIDS. David kept his head up despite his own personal tragedy after the recent death of his beloved grandfather. He'll stay to represent their home country of England at today's soccer event, but then David will head back in order to pay his respects. View 10 Photos › To see more David, just read more.

Update: Tom Hardy not confirmed for new ‘Mad Max’
3 December 2009 11:59 AM, PST | ReelLoop.com | See recent Reel Loop news »
The casting game of musical chairs continues. Though it appeared that the casting of Tom Hardy to play the lead in Mad Max: Fury Road was pretty much a done deal, Hardy himself says that isn’t true.
“[Director George Miller] hasn’t actually confirmed that,” says Hardy about his casting. “The audition process had nothing to do with Max and nothing to do with the story or the script. It was unorthodox to the point where actually I could have been auditioning for anything. It was an anonymous read.”
Though there is no official word on Hardy’s casting, the Bronson actor says “it’s strongly coming in my direction. I would be preparing for that role. The Mad Max figure is a big figure, and I have to get my head around that.”
Will the new Mad Max be a a rehash of the original film starring Mel Gibson?
“He is Mad Max. »

'Hancock 2' Stalled By Scheduling Issues, Says Director
3 December 2009 5:46 AM, PST | MTV Splash Page | See recent MTV Splash Page news »
Director Peter Berg is still hoping to fly alongside "Hancock 2," but that plane isn't ready for takeoff just yet.
During a visit to the set of Berg's currently filming "Battleship," Latino Review learned that the director's intentions to dive into a "Hancock" sequel have been stifled by a variety of factors, not the least of which are the busy schedules of himself, Will Smith and their collaborators.
"It's being written now and it's an issue of everybody involved in 'Hancock,'" Berg said of the movie's development. "There are so many cooks in that particular kitchen that it's so busy and Will [Smith] has kind of taken time off to be with his kids."
"There are so many people involved in that, from Will to his partner James Lassiter to Akiva [Goldsman] to Michael Mann, myself and to get us all in the same room just like this where we »

Tom Hardy Talks Mad Max
2 December 2009 11:24 AM, PST | ScreenRant.com | See recent Screen Rant news »
In recent months there have been many rumblings about Mad Max 4, specifically entitled, Mad Max: Fury Road. All have been covered here on Screen Rant – but the main one is that British actor Tom Hardy (Bronson) was being eyed to replace Mel Gibson in the titular role of Max.
No official announcement has been made about the role, but Hardy spoke exclusively with MTV about his possible appearance in the film – and he seems to be as uncertain (or unforthcoming) about the details of the film (which is due to shoot down-under next year) as director George Miller and Mel Gibson.
MTV’s Josh Horowitz quizzed the actor about the film and Hardy stated that he was far from a lock for the film:
“George hasn’t actually confirmed that. It’s strongly coming in my direction. I would be preparing for that role.”

Smith Puts Hancock Sequel On Hold
2 December 2009 11:21 AM, PST | WENN | See recent WENN news »
The upcoming sequel to superhero comedy Hancock has been put on hold to allow Will Smith to spend more time with his family, according to director Peter Berg.
The moviemaker recently confirmed Smith and his co-star Charlize Theron will both reprise their roles in a follow-up to the hit 2008 movie.
But Berg admits they have put plans for the second film back because the superstar actor is taking a break from movies to enjoy life with his wife, Jada, and help his son, Jayden, tackle a starring role in the new Karate Kid picture.
Berg is adamant Hancock 2 will get made, but it may take longer than first expected.
He tells The Latino Review, "It's being written now and it's an issue of everybody involved in Hancock. There are so many cooks in that particular kitchen that it's so busy and Will has kind of taken time off to be with his kids and his kids are now making all kinds of films. There are so many people involved in that, from Will to his (business) partner James Lassiter to Michael Mann, myself and to get us all in the same room just like this where we can all talk and then agree on anything, you've never met a group of people that have a harder time agreeing on anything.
"It's like the Israeli peace process times a thousand how tough it is to resolve. I think it'll happen though. We just have to kind of get in the same room for some consistency." »
No ‘Hancock 2′ Anytime Soon
2 December 2009 11:03 AM, PST | ScreenRant.com | See recent Screen Rant news »
There’s been much talk about a sequel to the 2008 surprise superhero hit, Hancock, with conversation picking up particularly when it comes to the cast of Will Smith, Charlize Theron and Jason Bateman possibly returning to do another. Director Peter Berg said a few months ago that everyone was excited to return, but not long after that Bateman came out and said he hadn’t heard anything about him returning (we’re still not sure if that cluelessness was applicable to Smith and Theron, too).
However, when Berg sounded pretty excited about directing Hancock 2, that was before he landed the Battleship gig, a big-screen adaptation set for release in 2011 with a production start date of Spring 2010. That ties Berg up a lot for what I would guess would be the better part of a year. And that appears to be one of the big reasons why we shouldn’t expect Hancock 2 anytime soon. »

FIFA shock as Charlize Theron picks Ireland as first team in World Cup draw (IrishCentral)
2 December 2009 9:44 AM, PST | IrishCentral | See recent IrishCentral news »
Hollywood star Charlize Theron has endeared herself to the entire Irish nation after selecting Ireland in the draw for the World Cup. Shocked FIFA observers nearly fell over themselves when Theron plucked an "Ireland" ball out of the bowl in the dress rehearsal for Friday's draw. "Ireland," she announced as FIFA general secretary Jerome Valcke went pale in the face. Theron, who is a big supporter of the Irish team, is no stranger to making her opinions heard. She is refusing to marry long-time Irish boyfriend Stuart Townsend until gay marriage is legal. Ireland of course were knocked out by France after a much disputed handball by Thierry Henry. Now FIFA officials are concerned that she might repeat the stunt on Friday when she co-hosts the draw with Valcke. Valcke confirmed the stunt drawing at press conference after the rehearsal. "Yes, she did, but it was only a joke," he said. »
TV Bites: Simon Cowell Plots Vegas Heist
2 December 2009 6:30 AM, PST | Movieline | See recent Movieline news »
· In a recent GQ article, TV's Richest Man, Simon Cowell, outlined a Las Vegas scheme so unlikely, so complicated and so risky, that it sounds like George Clooney's plan to rob the Bellagio vaults in Ocean's Eleven. First, the show will set up production in a Vegas casino-hotel, where Cowell & Co. will broadcast two talent shows a week live over the internet where the American Idol judge expects "20, 30, 40 million" to pay to watch each episode. For reference, American Idol averages 30 million (non-paying) viewers while Ufc, a successful pay franchise, draws about one million viewers per fight. After the Vegas X Factor has taken off, Cowell will pack Chinese acrobat Paula Abdul into a briefcase and shop the live competition show around the world. [Hollywood Reporter]
Anne Hathaway returns to Springfield, Charlize Theron heads south with 32 footballers, and more TV Bites after the jump. »
