Travolta Keen On Butch & Sundance Remake With Cruise

9 November 2009 5:36 PM, PST | WENN | See recent WENN news »

John Travolta wants to remake classic western Butch Cassidy & The Sundance Kid with Tom Cruise.

The two movie stars and fellow Scientologists have been friends for years, but they've yet to work together and Travolta admits one recent rumour about a project they were working on wasn't that far-fetched.

He says, "Someone came up with a good idea - it was a remake of Butch Cassidy and The Sundance Kid - and there was a rumour that we were gonna do that, and I said to Tom, 'It's not a terrible rumour, it's not a bad idea.'" »

'The Godfather 2': Movies I watch and watch again

3 November 2009 1:36 PM, PST | EW.com - The Movie Critics | See recent EW.com - The Movie Critics news »

Maybe it's because The Godfather 2 seems to be playing on cable TV in a loop for all eternity-but I realized the other day that I've lost count of how many times I've heard Michael Corleone say to his brother, "I know it was you, Fredo. You broke my heart." Not that I mind: There's a profound comfort in re-watching a movie you love, even though (or maybe because) the scenes have worn grooves in your consciousness. My list of most-watched titles includes Casablanca, Citizen Kane, All About Eve, the Marx Brothers' Duck Soup, and, for reasons I can't fathom but just accept, »

AFI Fest 2009: Something’S Gonna Live, North By Northwest

26 October 2009 12:41 AM, PDT | Alternative Film Guide | See recent Alternative Film Guide news »

Cary Grant in North by Northwest Among the highlights of AFI Fest 2009 is the Nov. 2 screening of AFI Conservatory Alumnus Daniel Raim’s documentary Something’s Gonna Live, which profiles several behind-the-scenes Hollywood veterans — most of whom have already passed away — including production designers Robert Boyle (who turned 100 this past Oct. 10), Henry Bumstead (To Kill a Mockingbird, The Sting), Harold Michelson (Star Trek: The Motion Picture, Mommie Dearest, Dick Tracy), and Albert Nozaki (When Worlds Collide, The War of the Worlds, The Ten Commandments), in addition to cinematographers Conrad L. Hall (In Cold Blood, Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid, Road to Perdition) and Haskell Wexler (Who’s Afraid of Virginia Woolf?, In the Heat of [...] »

Tim Daly Talks the Man of Steel with Superman/Batman: Public Enemies

29 September 2009 1:54 PM, PDT | MovieWeb | See recent MovieWeb news »

The actor talks about voicing Superman in this brand new animated DVD

Tim Daly is an actor who is well-versed in both live-action and animated work. After providing the voice of the Man of Steel for the animated Superman TV series, Daly branched out into live-action work with roles in such hits as Joe Hackett on Wings and his current TV gig as Dr. Pete Weber on Private Practice. Weber has returned to his animated roots, though, providing the voice for Superman once again with Superman/Batman: Public Enemies, which just hit the shelves on DVD and Blu-ray today, September 29. We were provided with a new interview session that Daly conducted and here's what he had to say about this new film and voicing Superman in general.

Can you recall your initial audition for Superman?

Tim Daly: Yes, I remember it very well. The wife of one of »

Our Favorite Montages: Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid

28 September 2009 5:15 PM, PDT | Cinematical | See recent Cinematical news »

You learn something new about your movie tastes when you're writing about them every single day. I'm realizing that most of my favorite montages don't come from the 1980s, but are historical recreations of one kind or another. (Even now, there's one hovering in my bookmarks because I can't decide whether it's a montage or a credits report. You'll see it eventually, I'm sure.) Today's montage is from Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid and has to be one of the most unusual because it's done entirely through still sepia photographs. It's a wonderful sequence, and the photos of Paul Newman, Robert Redford, and Katharine Ross would look at home in your western history museum. For a bunch of photos, it feels incredibly animated by the endless fun Butch and Sundance are having, clearly enjoying the fact that they're wanted men who can go unnoticed in a crowd as they party their way to Bolivia. »

"The Paul Newman Tribute Collection" Now Available On DVD From Fox Home Entertainment

28 September 2009 5:20 AM, PDT | icelebz.com | See recent iCelebz news »

Approximately a year after his death, the legacy of Paul Newman continues to live on through Twentieth Century Fox Home Entertainment with a 17-disc collection of over 27 hours of the Academy Award winning actor's films as well as a 136-page book with never before seen images.

The "Paul Newman Tribute Collection" features some of his best yet perhaps more unnoticed work, which includes "Hemingway's Adventures of a Young Man," collector's editions of "The Verdict," "The Hustler," and "Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid" (which also marks the 40th anniversary of the film) and a special edition disc of "The Towering Inferno." Although some titles such as "The Color of Money," for which Newman won an Academy Award for his performance are missing, the latest tribute set to the actor is still an interesting collection of some of the films from his over 50-year career that might have been missed but are still worthy of seeing. »

Dread Attends Zombieland on the Santa Monica Pier

24 September 2009 11:36 PM, PDT | DreadCentral.com | See recent Dread Central news »

This scribe hit earlier today the press junket (which become more like a press conference) on the Santa Monica Pier for Sony Pictures’ forthcoming October 2 release of Zombieland and chatted with the flick’s director, Ruben Fleischer, as well as with film stars Woody Harrelson, Jesse Eisenberg, and Emma Stone and writers and co-producers Rhett Rheese and Paul Wernick. It was a fitting locale, given the nearby roller coaster and a similar ride's filmic tie-in to Zombieland.

"As far the gore and stuff, I think I went a little bit overboard because I wasn’t a big horror fan, video director-turned-first-time feature filmmaker Fleischer admitted in regards to the copious (and I do mean copious) amounts of carnage on display (courtesy of Alterian Inc.). "I just wanted to make sure that we satisfied the zombie audience. (So) there’s a lot of blood, puke, and spit!"

New on DVD: "30 Rock" rocks, Seth Rogen: Mall Cop and Ol' Blue Eyes is back

23 September 2009 1:19 PM, PDT | AfterElton.com | See recent AfterElton.com news »

That season of 30 Rock that just won another Emmy? It's on DVD. As are a controversial comedy with Seth Rogen and a lavish box devoted to a mixed bag of Paul Newman movies.

Read on for more!

I can't begin to imagine why any of you aren't already watching this brilliantly hilarious sitcom, but 30 Rock - Season Three is available to those of you who haven't been converted (as well as those who need repeated viewings to catch all of the rapid-fire gags).

This season contains two of my favorite episodes—"Believe in the Stars," in which a prescription-drug–addled Liz Lemon (Tina Fey) shares a flight from Chicago with Oprah Winfrey, and "Reunion," where Liz begrudgingly attends her high-school reunion to discover that she wasn't a picked-on nerd, as she'd remembered, but actually a bully.

Critics were sharply divided (literally, with a 51% at Rotten Tomatoes) over Observe and Report, »

'Jennifer's Body' bad boy Adam Brody takes the EW Pop Culture Personality Test

18 September 2009 10:58 AM, PDT | EW.com - PopWatch | See recent EW.com - PopWatch news »

In Jennifer's Body (in theaters today), Adam Brody, our favorite geek hero from The O.C., tries evil on for size. He plays the lead singer of a devil-worshipping emo band that attempts to sacrifice Jennifer (Megan Fox) because they think she's a virgin and it will bring them greater fame. (He doesn't do his own vocals: "My singing voice is still going through puberty," he says. "They gave me a singing lesson or two, and it’s not the worst thing in the world, but it’s not anything anyone would choose to hear.") Unfortunately, since Jennifer's not pure, a demon takes over her body and starts feeding on high school boys. Almost as dangerous as Megan Fox with a supernatural appetite? The EW Pop Culture Personality Test. Brody submitted to one and had a couple of friends over in case he needed backup... Entertainment Weekly: The best concert you’ve ever seen? »

It's one of the most talked about and fan-requested mashups in the history of horror with three of the genre's most beloved cinematic icons coming together.

But this battle isn't being fought on-screen, but in four-color glory in the pages of Dynamite Entertainment/DC Wildstorm's Freddy Vs. Jason Vs. Ash 2: Nightmare Warriors.

NYC Summer Screenings

7 July 2009 10:50 AM, PDT | The Flickcast | See recent The Flickcast news »

Its expensive to see movies here in New York City, or pretty much anywhere these days. I did an about face a couple weeks ago when the price of admission to see Up in 3D was sixteen dollars.  I’m sorry, but I just don’t understand the reason behind 3D, and I don’t see why I need to be charged another 4 dollars to see a movie in 3D.

I come from a small town in upstate New York where going to the movies has been, for years, six dollars.  Since living in Manhattan, I’ve had to initiate something called “The 12 Dollar Rule,” as in is the movie actually worth 12 dollars? Sure, for movies like Star Trek, The Dark Knight and others, its worth that kind of money.  However, there is a solution! During the summer there are all kinds of outdoor screenings of classic movies for free around New York City. »

Fox Releasing 'The Paul Newman Tribute DVD Collection'

6 July 2009 1:32 PM, PDT | Cinematical | See recent Cinematical news »

It's tough to lose a legend like Paul Newman, and the rush of DVDs, biographies, and rumor mongering don't make it any easier. The rush of merchandising seems to walk a fine line between actually honoring the person, and pure graveyard profit. You can decide what category Fox's upcoming Paul Newman Tribute Collection falls into. I'm going to err on the side of classy, even at its steep price of $89.98, because it contains a total of 17 DVDs. The list includes:

The Long, Hot Summer (the film that Newman Joanne Woodward met on)

Rally 'Round the Flag, Boys

From the Terrace

Exodus

The Hustler Collector's Edition

Hemingway's Adventures of a Young Man

What a Way to Go!

Hombre

Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid Collector's Edition

The Towering Inferno Special Edition

Buffalo Bill and the Indians Or Sitting Bull's History Lesson

Quintet

The Verdict Collector's Edition

The collection goes on sale »

Twilight star Peter Facinelli loves 'Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid' (video)

2 July 2009 10:37 PM, PDT | Twilight Examiner | See recent Twilight Examiner news »

When asked what his favorite film was, The Twilight Saga: New Moon and Nurse Jackie star Peter Facinelli said that Butch Cassidy And The Sundance Kid takes the cake "because that's the movie that inspired me to want to become an actor." After seeing Kellan Lutz's photoshoot video of the same inspiration, it is no surprise. The film, which stars Paul Newman and Robert Redford, must've been the inspiration for some of his answers in my interview with Facinelli last month. In that interview, "When asked if there were any particular actors t »

Paul Newman Tribute DVD Set Due in September

1 July 2009 10:00 AM, PDT | GetTheBigPicture.net | See recent Get The Big Picture news »

It's hard to believe that Paul Newman died almost a year ago. He was the last specimen of a certain breed of actor, as well as being a pretty damn charitable human being. He didn't care about fame and couldn't be bothered by its many trappings, although he absolutely loved the work. Anytime you give great performances over five decades - and he did right up through his TV movie Empire Falls - you don't get there by accident.

Fox Home Entertainment will release a massive Paul Newman Tribute Collection on September 22nd. For the time being, it's just a standard format DVD release, because some of the movies it includes aren't ready for Blu-ray yet. A lot of times, these movie star collections have one good flick and a bunch of B-movies or films you already know you want to avoid. Because stars make movies for different studios, it's tough for Fox to grab, »
