Brendan Gleeson and Don Cheadle Will Star in The Guard
29 October 2009 5:09 AM, PDT | MovieWeb | See recent MovieWeb news »
Brendan Gleeson (Harry Potter series) stars as an unorthodox Irish policeman who joins forces with a straitlaced FBI agent, played by Don Cheadle (upcoming Iron Man 2), to take on an international drug-smuggling gang in John Michael McDonagh's The Guard, which has just started principal photography in the West of Ireland.
Sergeant Gerry Boyle is a small-town cop with a confrontational personality, a subversive sense of humor, a dying mother, a fondness for prostitutes, and absolutely no interest whatsoever in the international cocaine-smuggling ring that has brought FBI agent Wendell Everett to his door.
However, despite the fact that Boyle seems more interested in mocking and undermining Everett than in actively working to solve the case, he finds that circumstances keep pulling him back into the thick of it. First his tiresomely enthusiastic new partner McBride disappears, then his favourite hooker attempts to blackmail him into turning a blind eye, »

Brendan Gleeson And Don Cheadle Head To Ireland
20 October 2009 11:35 AM, PDT | cinemablend.com | See recent Cinema Blend news »
Brendan Gleeson is Irish. Don Cheadle is not. But that's not stopping the two of them from heading off to Ireland together to make The Guard, a comedy-thriller that, according to Production Weekly, will be directed by John Michael McDonagh, who previously wrote the screenplay for the Heath Ledger vehicle Ned Kelly. Pw has no more details on the project, being that it was announced via Twitter, so we'll have to wait and see just what kind of trouble Gleeson and Cheadle can cook up together on the Emerald Isle. Gleeson previously starred in In Bruges for McDonagh's brother, Martin McDonagh, which could mean even more promising things than usual. Given that he'll be out of the Harry Potter series pretty soon, it's always good to see him keeping on with work. And Cheadle, of course, is welcome in whatever he wants to do-- yes, that includes Hotel for Dogs. »
tMF Talkback: Anatomy of a Good Actor - The 'case' between Orlando Bloom, Ben Barnes and Johnny Depp
4 September 2009 8:01 AM, PDT | The Movie Fanatic | See recent The Movie Fanatic news »
What constitute good acting? What makes a good actor? Are there certain steps one must follow in order to become an actor or is it a gift or a natural talent and requires no formal training? These are the questions we'll try to answer - and before we begin, let me just say, I have been patiently waiting for an 'opportunity' like this, and I would like to thank one tMF viewer for the vigorous and insightful comments on 'good acting' and the case between Ben Barnes, Orlando Bloom and Johnny Depp.

The Boys are Back – Trailer
6 August 2009 7:12 PM, PDT | The Scorecard Review | See recent Scorecard Review news »
This is me being lazy. Sorry, but I might have the flu.
I’m going to let the studio tell you about this one …
Inspired by a true story, The Boys Are Back is a deeply moving, wryly confessional tale of fatherhood, that intimately evokes both the fragility and wonders of family life. It follows a witty, wisecracking, action-oriented sportswriter (Academy Award® nominee and Golden Globe® winner Clive Owen) who, in the wake of his wife’s tragic death, finds himself in a sudden, stultifying state of single parenthood. With turbulent emotions swirling just below the surface, Joe Warr throws himself into the only child-rearing philosophy he thinks has a shot at bringing joy back into their lives: “just say yes.” Raising two boys – a curious six year-old (Nicholas McAnulty) and a rebel teen (George MacKay) from a previous marriage — in a household devoid of feminine influence, and with an unabashed lack of rules, »

The Tripods Are Back - Exclusive Movie News
22 March 2009 1:00 AM, PDT | Digitalspy | See recent digitalspy news »
Rumours of a movie version of John Christopher's celebrated Tripods novels have been persistent for several years now, with various directors attached and then detached from the project. Disney-owned Touchstone Pictures nabbed the rights in the late '90s, but the whole enterprise languished in development hell until Variety reported in early 2005 that Ned Kelly director Gregor Jordan was slated to mastermind the big screen resurrection of the three-legged alien invaders. It wasn't to be. As news dried up, the frustration was felt most by fans of the classic mid-'80s BBC version of The Tripods, which was cruelly axed after two mostly fantastic seasons with the last book in the trilogy unfilmed. A nation of children who feared cappings, Black Guards and dreamt of the White Mountains were left without a visual resolution to the ambitious tale. However, (more) »

Watts: 'Give Ledger The Oscar'
20 February 2009 4:05 AM, PST | WENN | See recent WENN news »
Heath Ledger's ex-girlfriend Naomi Watts is urging Academy Awards bosses to recognise the late actor's talents by honouring him with a posthumous Oscar on Sunday night.
The King Kong star, who is now dating actor Liev Schreiber, romanced Ledger for two years after they met on the set of Aussie film Ned Kelly in 2002. They split amicably and remained friends.
Ledger was nominated for a Best Supporting Actor Oscar on 22 January exactly year after he died of an accidental drug overdose in New York.
And Watts is adamant that the Academy board should give Ledger the tribute for his role as The Joker in The Dark Knight - because he was such an extraordinary star.
She says, "I hope he does win. He was amazing and his work should be recognised.
"I always knew it from the time we met on Ned Kelly. When we first rehearsed together I was blown away by his presence and the detail in his performance. I just thought, 'Wow, this guy is extraordinary, he has got something really special.'"
Ledger has already been posthumously honoured with a Golden Globe and a BAFTA award for his turn as the comic book villain and will compete against Josh Brolin (Milk), Robert Downey Jr. (Tropic Thunder), Philip Seymour Hoffman (Doubt) and Michael Shannon (Revolutionary Road) for the coveted Academy Award in Los Angeles on Sunday. »

Actress Naomi Watts is still struggling to come to terms with ex-boyfriend Heath Ledger's death a year ago. The King Kong star, who is now dating actor Liev Schreiber, romanced Ledger for two years after the couple met on the set of Aussie film Ned Kelly in 2002. They split amicably and remained friends.
Speaking for the first time about her ex's accidental drug overdose death, Watts says, "His fragility touched you... It's still incredibly difficult."
And the actress recalls falling for Ledger the first time they worked together. She tells Parade magazine, "I hadn’t really been that familiar with his work and then, when I got to the set and did that first scene with him, I was like, ‘Wow! This guy is alive.’
"It was just something deep in his eyes. You could look into them, and they would tell a thousand stories in one glance. There was a wonderful mixture of power and fragility at work in everything he did, which just pulls you in. His strength didn’t scare you. It intrigued you." »
