Ryan Reynolds Talks Green Lantern and Deadpool

25 November 2009 2:57 PM, PST | HeyUGuys.co.uk | See recent HeyUGuys news »

The 33 year old star of The Proposal sat down for an interview today with MTV to discuss the past year of his life, including the two big budget superhero movies he has signed on to star in: The Green Lantern and X-Men Origins: Wolverine spin-off Deadpool.

Speaking about The Green Lantern, which is the first of the two films to go into production, Reynolds said:

“I’ve known about “Green Lantern” my whole life, but I’ve never really followed it before. I fell in love with the character when I met with [director] Martin Campbell. When I sat down with him, I really got what it is that this guy is all about. When you have a guy like Martin Campbell, part of his charm is that he has ba–s of titanium, and the other part is that he’s slightly crazy, and you have to be to take »

Snipes Appeals Tax Convictions

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

Wesley Snipes has appealed his three-year prison sentence on U.S. federal tax charges - insisting the term is "unreasonable".

The Blade: Trinity star was convicted in 2008 of three misdemeanour counts of wilful failure to file his income tax return.

According to prosecutors, who pursued the maximum penalty, Snipes made at least $13.8 million (£8.6 million) for the years in question and owed $2.7 million (£1.7 million) in back taxes.

Snipes apologised at the time, insisting he was was "unschooled in the science of law and finance".

In a Georgia Court of Appeals on Friday his attorney accused prosecutors of seeking to make an example out of the actor, insisting the sentence "focused too heavily on deterrence".

Snipes' attorney also argued the actor should have been granted a hearing to decide whether his trial should have been in New York instead of Florida, where he has homes.

Snipes remains free on bail and was not present at the Atlanta courthouse.

The three-judge panel did not issue an immediate decision. »

Biel's 'Girl Crush' On Garner

11 November 2009 11:01 AM, PST | WENN | See recent WENN news »

Jessica Biel admires Ben Affleck's taste in women - she has been harbouring a 'girl crush' on his Hollywood actress wife Jennifer Garner.

The Blade: Trinity star, who is dating pop star Justin Timberlake, admits she's intrigued by the married mother-of-two, her glamorous looks and envious film career.

However, 27-year-old Biel insists she's no competition for Affleck, because her admiration for Garner is purely platonic.

She explains, "My girl crush is Jen Garner at the moment (but) here's the thing with girl crushes: it's more of a respect thing. It's like, you're beautiful, you're cool, you look and seem like somebody I would want to hang out with and your career is awesome." »

What Works About the Official Daybreakers Poster

13 October 2009 | shocktillyoudrop.com | See recent shocktillyoudrop news »

A clever tagline accompanies the official one-sheet art for Daybreakers : "In 2019, the most precious natural resource...is us." It's set against what we presume is a blood harvesting plant for the film's vampire population (which now dominates the world). The image is awe-inspiring, if nothing new (basically a riff off of what we saw in Blade: Trinity ), and it's a design with scope - a bit different than what we've come to expect from Lionsgate's one-sheets which usually focus on an individual or object (from Saw to My Bloody Valentine ). But for a vampire film, this is wildly different than the teaser one-sheet which I took a liking to for its simplicity. It reminded me a bit of the original Fearless Vampire Killers design. This latest poster doesn't hint... »

David Goyer Says Magneto May Still Happen

2 October 2009 5:00 PM, PDT | WorstPreviews.com | See recent Worst Previews news »

Back in August, David Goyer ("The Dark Knight" writer, "Blade: Trinity" director) revealed that 20th Century Fox is still pursuing "X-Men Origins: Magneto" and already got in touch with him about possibly directing. Unfortunately, nothing was decided or solidified. Collider now caught up with him to get an update. "Fox is still mulling that," he said. "It was originally kind of neck-to-neck with Wolverine. They are developing that, Deadpool, Young X-Men, they're developing the second Wolverine film. I think, they're just trying to figure out what they want to do next and I'm kind of busy doing this other stuff right now. If they decide they want to make it, and they come to me and say 'Hey, let's make it,' I'll have to figure it out." Goyer previously revealed that the story will focus on the origins of Magneto and Professor X, starring with the young Magneto crushing »

Biel To Take On Kilimanjaro With Timberlake

24 September 2009 9:11 AM, PDT | WENN | See recent WENN news »

Actress Jessica Biel will join her boyfriend Justin Timberlake to climb Mount Kilimanjaro this autumn to raise money for charity.

The Blade: Trinity star has joined the team of celebrities recruited by Ethiopian-born singer Kenna to scale the 9,000-foot (5,890-metre) African peak as part of a fundraising and awareness effort for the worldwide water crisis.

She admits she only signed up for the trek after being "astonished" that more than a billion people in the world have no access to drinkable water.

The star says, "This is a basic human necessity that needs to be addressed now. (I want) to help any way I can in order to raise awareness toward the life-threatening clean water crisis happening not only in Africa but around the world." »

Biel and Copley Join ‘The A-Team’

17 September 2009 7:30 AM, PDT | The Flickcast | See recent The Flickcast news »

Mention the word “reboot” or “remake” to anyone and you’ll probably face a dissatisfied sigh.  Hollywood’s movie recycling program in the last few years has left everyone with reboot/remake fatigue.  However, once in a while a project comes along that peaks collective interest. The upcoming A-Team remake is one such film.

And now, the new A-Team adds two more names to its roster. Jessica Biel (Blade: Trinity, Stealth) will appear as an ex-love interest to Lt. Templeton “Face” Peck, played by Bradley Cooper, while District 9’s Sharlto Copley will be playing H.M. “Howling Mad” Murdoch. While Biel’s involvement is pretty standard fair (Don’t get me wrong, I like her) it’s Copley’s inclusion that is a great casting choice. While a relative unknown, Copley gained a lot of attention with his performance in District 9 (If you haven’t seen it, what are you waiting for? »

Battle of the bloodsuckers: Where Twilight ranks in the vampire film world

3 September 2009 6:37 PM, PDT | The Geek Files | See recent The Geek Files news »

Hollywood star Lauren Bacall had some strong words to say on the vampire romance movie Twilight recently, if you believed the online reports.

It was claimed the actress wrote on her Twitter page: "I saw Twilight - my granddaughter made me watch it, she said it was the greatest vampire film ever.

"After the 'film' was over I wanted to smack her across her head with my shoe, but I do not want a book called Grannie Dearest written on me when I die.

"So instead I gave her a DVD of Murnau's 1922 masterpiece Nosferatu and told her, 'Now that's a vampire film!' And that goes for all of you! Watch Nosferatu instead!"

It's since been said that this Twitter rant is by an imposter posing as Ms Bacall. But is it right? Is Twilight that bad that enjoying it merits a whack around the head with a shoe? »

X-Men – The Franchise Evolves!

31 August 2009 7:27 AM, PDT | FilmShaft.com | See recent FilmShaft.com news »

**Update** Walt Disney Pictures is reportedly buying Marvel Entertainment, creators of The X-Men, for $4 Billion, for more information check out the official press release here!

* * * * *

With rumours abound about a number of different possible X Men sequels it can be hard to keep track of who’s doing what, so what’s the deal here?

Well Blade: Trinity writer David Goyer predicted that there will be ‘movement’ on a film entitled X-Men Origins: Magneto in the next year! The story, which will be the second spinoff in the X-Men series, tells the story of The Master of Magnetism and leader of the sinister Brotherhood of Mutants – Magneto. The final movie is thought to be set for release in 2011.

Goyer, who also wrote for the Batman sequel The Dark Knight, told MTV Splashpage that Magneto is one idea on a list of potential X-Men spinoff movies but he is confident that it will be made. »

Magneto to move forward in next year, Blade reboot mooted

24 August 2009 11:14 AM, PDT | The Geek Files | See recent The Geek Files news »

As far as future X-Men movies go, we only have forward thrust on a second Wolverine adventure at present.

Hugh Jackman has been teasing at the story for Wolverine 2 and Christopher McQuarrie has been brought on board to write the screenplay. But where does that leave the other future X-Men projects?

X-Men Origins: Magneto, X-Men: First Class and Deadpool are the other planned movies hovering on standby, with fans (including me) eager to find out what's going on. There's also been talk - though nothing official - of spin-offs for Storm and Gambit.

Deadpool has neither a writer nor a director - and star Ryan Reynolds is now over at Warner Bros to play Green Lantern so his involvement is not 100 per cent guaranteed.

First Class has a writer (Gossip Girl and The O.C. creator Josh Schwartz) but no director, though Bryan Singer has 'flirted' with the idea of »

David Goyer Talks Blade 4

17 August 2009 5:53 PM, PDT | ScreenRant.com | See recent Screen Rant news »

Just over a month ago we talked about the future of the Blade franchise and at the time, it seemed that Stephen Dorff may help guide the series in a different direction with a trilogy of new movies set before the events of the first Blade.

It of course would star Dorff as the bad-ass vampire, Deacon Frost. Stephen Norrington, director of the first Blade, said that he’d be back to work on these prequels after he’s done working on the remake of The Crow and he confirmed that it would be Frost’s story but that it would be linked heavily with the existing movies.

Today we have some more tidbits about the next Blade film from another integral man behind the trilogy, David Goyer.

[DVD Review] Chaos

15 August 2009 10:00 PM, PDT | JustPressPlay.net | See recent JustPressPlay news »

While the big names above the title might suggest an a high-octane cops and robbers caper with intelligent plotting and pounding action, you would do well not to be fooled. Shot on the down slope of Wesley Snipes’s career, prior to the upswing of Jason Statham’s, and well into the wilderness of Ryan Phillippe’s, this shockingly lackluster thriller from writer/director Tony Giglio (the man who brought us Soccer Dog) is plodding, predictable, and oh so very boring.

The timing of this project is likely crucial to its blundering inability to resonate on pretty much any level as an engaging thriller. Snipes was neck deep in a legal dispute with New Line (the IRS was still to come) over the debacle that was Blade: Trinity, Phillippe’s marriage to Reese Witherspoon was imploding (the couple would file for divorce a year later), and Statham, who had yet »

Nathan Fillion is a Fan of Reynolds as Green Lantern

6 August 2009 9:17 PM, PDT | ScreenRant.com | See recent Screen Rant news »

Canadian Love is in the air this week as fan-favorite Nathan Fillion expresses his love and support for the casting of Ryan Reynolds as Hal Jordan in the upcoming Green Lantern film.

Fillion, who became an actor to look out for (with his own dedicated cult following) after Firefly, is currently doing well with his new great show, Castle. But on the movie front, he’d been the subject of speculation as one of the many hopeful candidates for the Green Lantern movie. At least, up until recently when Justin Timberlake, Bradley Cooper and Ryan Reynolds were reported as the top choices and as we know, it was finally announced that Ryan Reynolds snagged the part.

 

So, how did Fillion react to the news of fellow Canadian Reynolds getting the part? He was actually very happy about it.

In speaking with MTV, he had this to say on the subject:
