Eva Mendes on Nudity: "I Go For It"
12 November 2009 11:15 AM, PST | Cinematical | See recent Cinematical news »
Shocker! Displaying a positive attitude that should warm the heart of any moviegoer who loves the female form, Eva Mendes declares: "If I feel it's appropriate to show some nudity in the scenes then I go for it." She told Fox News: "As much as I use my sexuality, I have never felt exploited. I feel like it's on my terms and I have no problem with it."
Speaking as someone who first noticed Mendes when Ethan Hawke opened a door in Training Day to reveal her lying naked on a bed, I say: "I have no problem with it, either." The actress is promoting her appearance in Werner Herzog's Bad Lieutenant: Port of Call New Orleans, which opens later this month (and prompted our own Jeffrey D. Anderson to wonder if the remake was a good idea in the first place.) Mendes has been willing to bare portions »

Hawke Praises Madonna For Gypsy Support
2 November 2009 12:06 AM, PST | WENN | See recent WENN news »
Actor Ethan Hawke has praised Madonna for standing up for Romania's gypsy community - insisting the singer "transcended" her pop star status by speaking out about their plight.
The Training Day star campaigns as part of his mother Leslie's charity, Ovidiu Rom, to ensure children from Roma backgrounds receive proper education.
And during a trip to promote the cause, Hawke thanked Madonna for risking a backlash from her fans by urging people to fight discrimination against gypsies in Europe.
He says, "She transcended being a pop star. She drew international attention and shone the spotlight on a level of racism and the need for greater education. I don't have an agenda, Madonna doesn't have an agenda. We aren't politicians."
Madonna was booed by revellers at her own concert in the country's capital Bucharest in August after she pleaded with fans to end discrimination against the gypsy community. »
tMF Featured Trailer: Ethan Hawke rocks in Daybreakers!

Ethan Hawke may not be as popular as Leonardo DiCaprio or even Jude Law, but there was a time when his name appeared first in billing followed by Law - that's in Gattaca of course! I can still remember the young actor when he played opposite Robin Williams and Robert Sean Leonard in Dead Poets' Society and who can forget Hawke and Julie Delpy in Before Sunrise and Before Sunset? Oh, how about Reality Bites? I could go on and on, but before I forget - two awesome films - Before the Devil Knows You're Dead and Training Day.
Now, of all characters, he's playing a vampire! Can he bring some kind of 'wonderful' for the beloved (and infamous) fictional character?

Finally: Pics of Shia Labeouf and Michael Douglas eating in ‘Wall Street 2′
8 October 2009 8:59 AM, PDT | ReelLoop.com | See recent Reel Loop news »
Finally we have the money shots from Wall Street 2: Money Never Sleeps. Michael Douglas in full Gordon Gekko gear eating a pretzel and Shia Labeouf eating a hot dog. Hellz yeah.
We’ve seen some oddball pictures coming out of the set of Wall Street 2. Like Frank Langella wearing his pajamas while walking his dog and Labeouf not wearing socks with his loafers. It’s no surprise we now see Labeouf eating a hot dog without any toppings but curious minds want to know: what the hell are these two looking at? Luckily we bugged the set shortly before the scene began. Here’s your first snippet from the Wall Street 2 script:
Gekko: See what I mean? I told you it would be worth it. Man, I saw this everyday when I was prison. They used to bus this stuff in. Sometimes it was in the shower, »

Antoine Fuqua Negotiating for 'Prisoners'
30 September 2009 4:35 PM, PDT | GetTheBigPicture.net | See recent Get The Big Picture news »
Director Antoine Fuqua, whose best work is probably Training Day, is in talks to direct one of the most anticipated scripts in the pipeline at the moment, Aaron Guzikowski's Prisoners. The film will probably shoot in January or February with Warner Bros. picking next October for a release date.
When the script hit the streets, it immediately grabbed the attention of Mark Wahlberg, whose signing led to Christian Bale joining the cast. For a while it looked as though Bryan Singer might direct it, but those talks died down. There's no word as to why he passed or producers passed on him, but we do know the budget was trimmed a bit to make the film more feasible, and it's safe to guess that Fuqua is cheaper than Singer. »

Antoine Fuqua in negotiations to direct hot spec script 'Prisoners'
30 September 2009 2:19 PM, PDT | EW - Hollywood Insider.com | See recent EW.com - Hollywood Insider news »
Training Day helmer Antoine Fuqua is in final negotiations to direct Prisoners from hot new writer Aaron Guzikowski. Warner Bros-based Alcon Entertainment will produce the film. Prisoners centers on a small-town carpenter whose young daughter and best friend are kidnapped. After the cops fail to find them, the man takes the law into his own hands and runs up against the big-city detective assigned to the case. The script had been making the rounds across Hollywood and at one point Mark Wahlberg had expressed interest in producing and starring. That is no longer the case but with the studio setting October 22, »

Antoine Fuqua Set To Take ‘Prisoners’
30 September 2009 10:27 AM, PDT | ScreenRant.com | See recent Screen Rant news »
Risky Biz Blog is reporting that Training Day director, Antoine Fuqua, is in negotiations to helm Prisoners, (no longer “The Prisoners”) a film taken from a “hot spec script” written by Aaron Guzikowski. The script was said to have created a stir when it first appeared earlier this year, with high-profile actors Christian Bale and Mark Wahlberg once attached to star, X-Men helmer Bryan Singer eyeing the director’s chair and a number of different studios looking to pick up the project.
However, soon after the producers of Prisoners sold the film to Alcon, reconfigured the project to have a lower budget (around the $30-40 million mark) and went forward without a cast for the time being, so that they could get things in motion faster. And it appears that the approach is working; the film is on the fast-track, and may go into pre-production shortly, with a “likely” January »

Antoine Fuqua Taking Prisoners
30 September 2009 7:08 AM, PDT | cinemablend.com | See recent Cinema Blend news »
Antoine Fuqua is still waiting to see his Sundance premiering Brooklyn's Finest debut in theaters across the country, but already he's looking to the next project on the list. The Training Day director is in negotiations to direct Prisoners, a spec script that THR says follows a small-town man who takes a hostage of the person who believes kidnapped his daughter and her friend. Aaron Guzikowski's script first attracted attention from Bryan Singer, with Mark Wahlberg and Christian Bale apparently intending to star. Those two went on to make The Fighter together with David O. Russell, leaving Alcon Entertainment to pick up the script and budget it for something cheaper, around $30 million. Fuqua definitely knows how to make a movie on a budget but, given that Training Day won Denzel Washington an Oscar, could probably attract top talent anyway. Actually, Washington sounds pretty ideal for the lead role, if »
Antoine Fuqua Locks Up Prisoners

Aaron Guzikowski's hot spec script for Prisoners , which was picked up by Alcon Productions a few months back, has begun negotiations with a potential director, and it's none other than Training Day helmer Antoine Fuqua, according to Risky Biz Blog . The project that at one point attracted the likes of Bryan Singer, Christian Bale and Mark Wahlberg is being fast-tracked with plans to start shooting early next year with plans for it to be released by Warner Bros. on October 22 next year. There's no word whether Christian Bale or Mark Wahlberg might still be involved with the film, which was at one point going to be made for a much bigger budget, but had recently been reconfigured to be produced for less than $40 million. »
Antoine Fuqua Takes Prisoners
30 September 2009 12:31 AM, PDT | EmpireOnline | See recent EmpireOnline news »
One of the hottest spec scripts in the first quarter of this year was Aaron Guzikowski's Prisoners. It provoked a flurry of interest among production companies, directors and potential stars, until it eventually landed at Alcon, who seem to have got the gig by demonstrating they could get it into production quickly.Names like Mark Wahlberg, Christian Bale and Bryan Singer were mentioned, but the slightly downsized project is now moving ahead with Training Day's Antoine Fuqua in negotiations to direct. He'll have to make his mind up quickly, since the project is being fast tracked to go before cameras at the very beginning of next year.The story involves a father taking the law into his own hands and kidnapping the man he believes to be responsible for the disappearance of his daughter and her best friend. THR says the script has drawn comparison to both Taken »
Warner Bros. Apprehends Prisoners
29 September 2009 10:55 PM, PDT | Atomic Popcorn | See recent Atomic Popcorn news »
Warner Bros. has set Prisoners, a film that Antoine Fuqua is in talks to direct, on a fast track. The film is now in preproduction and scheduled for release on October 22, 2010. Andrew Kosove and Broderick Johnson of Alcon Entertainment will produce the film, which is only sparsely detailed.
What we do know is that Fuqua is a talented director — the man behind Training Day. He’s also had some duds, namely Tears of the Sun and Shooter. Writer Aaron Guzikowski is new on the scene, and the project generated buzz earlier this year as Mark Wahlberg and Christian Bale were attached to star in the film — the latter with previously slotted director Bryan Singer.
Film School Rejects described the plot of the film back in April as “the story of a desperate man trying to find his kidnapped daughter, fighting resistance from law enforcement, seeking a very real revenge against his daughter’s captors. »

Revenge Thriller Prisoners Gets Fuqua Up
29 September 2009 8:57 PM, PDT | Beyond Hollywood | See recent Beyond Hollywood news »
Aaron Guzikowski’s hot spec script “Prisoners” was supposed to have the hottest cast and the hottest director. Supposed to, anyway. The script has since lost its two would-be A-list actors, but the good news is that it’s replaced one A-list director with another. Out goes Bryan Singer, in comes Antoine Fuqua of “Training Day” and “Tears of the Sun” fame. THR reports that the revenge thriller, written on spec by Guzikowski, will start shooting as early next year for a Fall 2010 release. Mark Wahlberg and Christian Bale were originally interested in playing the film’s two male leads. The film is now without a cast. “Prisoners” would have starred Wahlberg as a father in a small town who abducts and holds prisoner the man he believes is responsible for the abduction of his daughter and her friend. Bale would have played the big-city cop who shows up to »

Antoine Fuqua Directing Aaron Guzikowski's Prisoners Spec
29 September 2009 4:37 PM, PDT | firstshowing.net | See recent FirstShowing.net news »
A big change of pace for this project. Aaron Guzikowski's Prisoners started gaining buzz back in March when Mark Wahlberg was first attached. The script has been compared to Silence of the Lambs and Se7en and was one of the hottest scripts in town over the summer. The Risky Biz Blog reports today that Prisoners eventually sold to Alcon Entertainment instead of being setup at a studio. The producers reconfigured the project without a cast or director and a lower budget (around $30 to $40 million) so it could move forward quickly. Now they've brought on Training Day, King Arthur, and Shooter director Antoine Fuqua. Fuqua, who last directed Brooklyn's Finest, is currently in negotiations to direct Prisoners. The project is being fast-tracked, with pre-production set to begin shortly for a January or February shoot. Alcon is planning to release the film through Warner Brothers next October.
