Actor Jim Caviezel's portrayal of Jesus in a new audiobook has made history at the 2008 Evangelical Book of The Year Awards.

The Passion of The Christ star voiced the role of Christ in a 21-hour New Testament package, called The World of Promise and the 'audio Bible' has become the first non-book to claim the top religious prize in 30 years.

As well as Caviezel, the audiobook features the voices of Terence Stamp as God, Marisa Tomei, Lou Gossett Jr. and Luke Perry.

It's a battle of filmmaking titans this week, the kind of event that comes around once in a lifetime . Steven Spielberg and Uwe Boll will duke it out at the multiplexes. (Forgive us, but that might've been our only opportunity to ever get to put those two names in the same sentence.)

"The Children of Huang Shi"

Set during the Japanese occupation of China during the 1930s, this sweeping historical epic comes from Roger Spottiswoode, the director behind both "Stop! Or My Mom Will Shoot" and the narrative remake of "Shake Hands with the Devil." The first official co-production between Australia and China, the film tells the true story of Australian nurse (Radha Mitchell), who with the aid of a British journalist (Jonathan Rhys Meyers), escorts 60 orphaned children 700 miles through the Liu Pan Shan Mountains to evade Japanese secret police. "Crouching Tiger Hidden Dragon" co-stars Michelle Yeoh

John Cusack has claimed that Hilary Duff is "charismatic and wonderful" in his new film War, Inc.

Cusack said he was surprised by the acting talents of the popstar, claiming that she held her own against established thespians like Marisa Tomei and Sir Ben Kingsley.

"We didn't know her," Cusack told La Confidential. "We knew she wanted to do the movie, which . . .

John Cusack was blown away by Hillary Duff's performance in their new movie War, Inc., and considers her brave for risking her child-friendly pop star status.

Duff ditched her clean-cut image to play a trashy Middle Eastern pop singer in the Cusack-directed war satire, which also stars Joan Cusack, Marisa Tomei and Sir Ben Kingsley.

And the actor/director admits he was shocked by her "wonderful" performance.

Cusack says, "We didn't know her. We knew she wanted to do the movie, which takes a lot of courage for a young girl who's already got huge fan base, who's a big pop star.

"I don't think any of us knew she would be quite as gifted, as intelligent as she is. Not only did she hold her, I think she's every bit as charismatic and wonderful as those other three actors."

Hilary Duff is hoping her role in new movie War, Inc. will kill her good-girl image once and for all.

The 20-year-old has wrestled with the label since rising to fame as a clean-cut teen pop star.

She recently revealed her desire to be recognised as an adult - and went to great lengths in the movie to do so.

Duff travelled unaccompanied to Bulgaria to film the movie with co-stars John Cusack, Sir Ben Kingsley and Marisa Tomei, dying her trademark blonde locks for a darker hairdo to play onscreen temptress Yonica.

She says, "I got to play a character far away from who I am in my real life.

"I got to be a little bit of a bad girl for a change."

War Inc. premieres on Monday at New York's Tribeca Film Festival.
