‘The Vampire Diaires’ Ian Somerhalder To Star In ‘Cradlewood’

October 16, 2009 By 4 Comments

global green 210208

Ian Somerhalder, currently starring as the dark & mysterious Damon Salvatore in “The Vampire Diaries,” hot enough to give Robert Pattinson a run for hottest vampire, has signed on to star in “Cradlewood,” a romantic gothic fairy tale set in Boston. Somerhalder will play the son of an old Boston blue-blood family, the heir to a fortune, who’s dating an Australian girl. A family legend of his suggests that the family fortunes are tied up with a demon, and that a curse means that every time a boy is born into the family, his father dies. When he begins to experience strange things at the same time he starts suspecting his girlfriend is pregnant, he begins to worry that it’s not just an old wives’ tale.

“Cradlewood” is based on original story by Harry Weinmann. Emma Lung will play Somerhalders’ girlfriend in the movie. The script was written by Stephen Sewell and John Paul Chapple, and will be produced by Michel Shane and David Redman.

Per Hollywood Reporter:

“We see this is as almost like an American-style ‘Pan’s Labyrinth‘ in look and feel,” Shane said. “It’s a perfect segue for the kids who have outgrown ‘Twilight‘ but want something romantic and scary. Our monster will be quite terrifying; she is sexually attractive and monstrous at the same time.”

“Cradlewood” is scheduled to start shooting in Melbourne, Australia in April, during Somerhalders’ hiatus from “The Vampire Diaries.” It’s an interesting plot, although I’m struggling a little to see were the “romance” is at this point. Oh well, do we really care? I mean, its Ian-freakin’-Somerhalder! His lines could consist of nothing more than reading the nutritional facts off the side of a Planters Peanuts jar and I’d pay the price of admission, repeatedly, to see his sexiness sizzle on screen!

‘New Moon’ 10 New Spoilers With Pictures!

October 6, 2009 By Leave a Comment

Oh my I think I’ve just gone to heaven!! With 44 days & some-odd hours and counting til the “Twilight Series: New Moon” movie hits theaters, we’re now starting to find out a few more juicy tidbits about the upcoming film, along with a ton of up-until-now unreleased photographs hitting the net. These amazing pictures come from the recently released “New Moon Illustrated Companion,” and with around 95 or so photographs, they are hot enough to keep you occupied until November 20th. (You can see all the photographs released here.)

Some spoilers are making the rounds too, and they are sure to make Twi-hards even more excited about the upcoming movie. While none of them are considered ‘major’ spoilers, I do suggest you stop reading now and just gaze at the photographs for hours on end if you don’t want to be spoiled at all. If you’re curious like me and you cannot wait until November, then continue reading below!

Spoiler #1: When screenplay writer Melissa Rosenberg was writing the scripts, she tried to keep the fan base out of her head, but she couldn’t avoid it by the time of New Moon. She gave the men in Port Angeles motorcycles to make it a more “significant moment” and because motorcycles will become “an important part of her relationship with Jacob”.

Spoiler #2: While filming the breakup scene in the forest Robert Pattinson and Kristen Stewart were being swarmed by mosquitos. In all the “vision” sequences Edward is wearing the same outfit he does when he said goodbye to Bella because that is the last memory she holds of him. As a sign that Bella is committed to Edward, her clothes are linked to his color wise. After he leaves she doesn’t pay much attention to her appearance.

Spoiler #3: The Cullen house used for “Twilight” was “a very specific house, and the only way out of that puzzle for us was to put portions of the story of New Moon in other parts of the house”. They scouted many locations for the Cullen house, but found one that was comparable enough with the house in Portland.

Spoiler #4: Robert quote: “The birthday scene at the Cullen house is like the ideal birthday party. The house is beautifully decorated and everyone is happy. Edward is looking at Bella and thinking that she can become part of his family and his life–that maybe this can work out the way he wants it to.” The sequence for the birthday party – Edward relates the history of the Volturi to Bella, she becomes wounded in the hand, and Edward faces off against Jasper.

Spoiler #5: They used the Blue Ray DVD of Twilight to help them with the age, color, texture and features of Bella’s house and room. They used the “Twilight Illustrated Companion” for help finding Bella’s truck.

Spoiler #6: Even the cameras used and their movements are done to show the relationship between the characters. One special challenge for the production team was how to convey Bella’s depression once Edward departs. In the books, the month pages do it (October, November, December, January.) In the film the passage of time is represented with visual effects. Bella sits in her chair in the bedroom and a camera circles around here while the seasons change outside her window.

Spoiler #7: Another shot manipulation, instead of Bella running to her truck and driving home after seeing the wolves in the meadow, she runs out of the woods and tells Charlie immediately that she saw them. The changes were made to make the scene more efficient.

Spoiler #8: When they are rebuilding the bikes there is a montage of scenes.

Spoiler #9: They wanted Jacob’s house to be “like a stepping stone into the forest world”. So it’s further from the heart of the reservation. Emily and Sam’s house is deeper in the forest, more separate from regular life.

Spoiler #10: Added to the movie, Jacob gives Bella a dreamcatcher. It stirs up emotions in all the major characters: Jacob says it will catch bad dreams. Edward is irritated that his rival gave Bella an intimate gift, and Charlie regrets that it stops working.

Ok, so there you have it Twi-hards! 10 Spoilers to keep you in limbo until the movie comes out. The passage of time in the book was very simple yet powerful. I like their approach to it for the movie. I got chills!

Robert Pattinson In Running To Play Prince Harry

October 5, 2009 By Leave a Comment

prince-harry-in-uniform

Robert Pattinson is on the short list to play Prince Harry in a film about his life, called “The Spare,” about the royal’s experiences, including losing his mom Princess Diana and his time on the front line in the army in Afghanistan.

Per Ok!

“I feel a sense of compassion for the guy. His parents break up in the most spectacularly public way, his mother dies in the most tragic and, again, public way and everything is picked over, ” says director Peter Kosminsky.

The film’s script is currently in the works, and once film bosses find someone to play the lead they’ll be shooting in the UK and the Middle East. Competing with Sparklepants is also Rupert Friend and fellow “Harry Potter” actor Rupert Grint, although Kosminsky said he would consider casting an American actor for the role, too. This could be just the type of quality role Pattinson has been looking for, clearly unhappy with the scripts that have been coming his way recently.

Per I’m Not Obsessed via AnOther Man:

“Annoyingly, there are so few parts I feel I can add anything to, or that I want to do. Acting is the hardest thing I’ve ever done in my life. I don’t want to be an actor for the sake of it. I don’t find any particular pleasure in being an attention-seeker,” says Pattinson.

While he’s already taken on the role of a doomed wizard, a spanish painter, and a sparkly vampire, adding the part of British Royalty to his acting resume might just be the next best step for Pattinson. He already has a lot in common with Prince Harry – the ladies love them, they struggle for privacy, and every move they make is scrutinized by the media. Yeah, I think he could relate quite well!

‘Friends’ TV Hit Rumored To Become Movie

September 28, 2009 By 2 Comments

friends

A “Friends” spinoff movie appears to be closer than ever before after comments were made by James Michael-Tyler who played Gunther on the hit tv show, while in London for the launch of a Central Perk themed coffee shop in Soho this past weekend.

Per DailyMail.co.uk:

“‘Friends: The Movie’ is definitely on. I still keep in touch with a lot of the cast and they say that they are really keen. The one thing I can tell you is that I am definitely on board to do the film. I really loved my time on the show and I am looking forward to meeting up with the old gang again. I just hope we can do justice to the show in a film.”

As if you need any reminders, the hit NBC series, which ran for 10 seasons, included ‘friends’ Jennifer Aniston, Courteney Cox, Lisa Kudrow, Matt LeBlanc, Matthew Perry and David Schwimmer. Supposedly, it was the success of the “Sex and the City” movie has prompted Warner Brothers to produce a movie version of “Friends” and they “are prepared to pay a fortune to the stars.” Warner Brothers has also recruited the show’s creators, David Crane and Marta Kauffman, to write the script and produce the movie, with talk of a summer 2011 release.

So just what has our favorite ‘friends’ been up to since the series ended in 2004? Jennifer Aniston, who played spoiled rich girl Rachel Green, has had lead roles in films such as “Bruce Almighty“, “The Break-Up” and “Marley and Me.” She has her own production company with three films in post production and seven films in development. Courtney Cox, who played the neat freak Monica Gellar-Bing, has a new sitcom, “Cougar Town,” that premiered last week and is doing pretty well in the ratings. It is also being said that she will reprise her role as Gale Weathers in the 4th installment of the “Scream” movies. Lisa Kudrow, who played the weird but lovable Phoebe Buffay, played a mom in Summit Entertainment’s movie “Bandslam.” She is now an executive producer on the US version of “Who Do You Think You Are?” David Schwimmer, who played the 3 times divorced Ross Gellar, has done a bit of London theater after his small role in “Band of Brothers.” He also directed the 2007 British film “Run Fat Boy Run.” Matt LeBlanc, who played dumb ladies man Joey Tribbiani, had that flop of a TV comedy “Joey.” It was cancelled after just two seasons and he’s hardly been seen onscreen since. Matthew Perry, who played funnyman Chandler Bing, starred in “Studio 60 on the Sunset Strip,” but it was canceled after one season. Last time we saw him, he was really good as older Zac Efron in “17 Again.”

So just what would be the plot lines of this story? Would Monica and Chandler still be married? Will Joey and Phoebe eventually hook up? Will Ross and Rachel finally get over his cheating while on a break? Will Janice make a guest appearance? Only time will tell, I guess. But could we ‘be‘ anymore excited!?!

Stehenie Meyers “The Host” To Be Turned Into A Movie

September 23, 2009 By 4 Comments

the-host-by-stephenie-meyer

Author Stephenie Meyer has more than just the phenomenon that is “Twilight” under her belt. Producers Nick Wechsler and Steve and Paula Mae Schwartz, anted up their own money to buy the screen rights to Meyer’s novel, “The Host” and have hired Andrew Niccol to write the script and direct the movie.

Per Variety:

“We want Stephenie to be involved in the adaptation and have her endorse and be part of the creative decisions,” Wechsler said. “Twilight” has “proven she knows more about what works than most.”

The book is about an alien race whose souls have taken over the planet, inserting themselves into their human hosts by erasing their minds and taking over. There’s a girl named Melanie Stryder who is not so willing to let the aliens take over her mind, and this Wanderer starts feeling what Melanie does, and wants “to locate the last pocket of surviving humans on Earth.” Before this week, Meyer’s had rejected numerous studio inquiries about the novel but was charmed by “a significant offer, a strong vision for the project, and a collaborative spirit.” Comic-Con geeks get prepared — if this has half of the impact as “Twilight,” then you’re in for quite the treat.

“New Moon”/”Memoirs” Script Found In Garbage Can

May 12, 2009 By 2 Comments

It seems someone on the ‘Twilight Saga: New Moon’ set has been naughty. Apparently, one of the cast members left their ‘New Moon’ script in a trashcan in St. Louis, and it was found by an owner of a beauty shop. Along with the ‘New Moon’ script, another script for a movie titled ‘Memoirs’ was also found by the hair-slinger.

Via MSN:

“Casey Ray found two scripts, one for the vampire sequel ‘New Moon’ and one for a different movie titled ‘Memoirs.’ She decided to return them to the studio making the films. In return, she was invited to attend the movies’ premieres, her lawyer said.”

I am calling fake on this one, kids. ‘Memoirs’, as true Twi-Hards know, has already had its titled changed to ‘Remember Me’ and will begin filming this summer with ‘Twilight’s’ Robert Pattinson. We here at Hollywood Dame already brought you a possibly script leak from ‘New Moon’. You can read that here. And there are over 1,000,000 Google sites offering glimpses at the ‘Remember Me’ script.

‘Twilight” star Anna Kendrick is currently filming the movie ‘Up in the Air’ with George Clooney in St. Louis, but Lisa Perkins, a rep for Kendrick, has already denied that Anna would leave her script lying around.

Summit Entertainment will not comment on whether or not the scripts are authentic, but they did thank the script finder for retuning the items.
