Hall Pass - new UK trailer with Owen Wilson and Jason Sudeikis! Watch it here:

Best buds Rick and Fred (Owen Wilson and Jason Sudeikis) have both been married for many years. When they begin to show signs of restlessness at home, their wives (Jenna Fischer and Christina Applegate) take a bold approach to revitalize their marriages: they grant the guys a “hall pass,” one week of freedom to do whatever they want. No questions asked.

At first, it sounds like a dream come true for Rick and Fred, but they quickly discover that their expectations of the single life and themselves are completely and hilariously out of sync with reality.

Black Swan Achieves Fox Searchlight’s Biggest Box Office Opening

BLACK SWAN, starring Golden Globe winner Natalie Portman, has achieved Fox Searchlight’s biggest UK & Ireland box office opening weekend of all time with £2.76 million in 356 cinemas across the country. This is ahead of hit Searchlight movies JUNO (£2 million) and THE FULL MONTY (£1.59 million). The critically acclaimed film, nominated for 12 BAFTAs including Best Film, Best Director for Darren Aronofsky and Best Actress for Natalie Portman, will expand its release to another 75 cinemas from Friday.

Cameron Saunders, Managing Director of Twentieth Century Fox UK Theatrical, commented:

“Black Swan’s opening weekend clearly demonstrates the appetite of the cinema-going public for bold, creative and visionary filmmaking. I believe the carefully orchestrated marketing campaign captured the spirit and energy of the film; and just like Mila Kunis’ character in the movie the marketing was never ‘faking it’. We’re delighted to have helped make the opening of this extraordinary movie into such a highly anticipated movie event.”

A psychological thriller set in the world of New York City ballet, BLACK SWAN stars Natalie Portman as Nina, a featured dancer who finds herself locked in a web of competitive intrigue with a new rival at the company (Mila Kunis). A Fox Searchlight Pictures release by visionary director Darren Aronofsky (THE WRESTLER), BLACK SWAN takes a thrilling and at times terrifying journey through the psyche of a young ballerina whose starring role as the Swan Queen turns out to be a part for which she becomes frighteningly perfect.

A beastly new trailer and ravaging stills for Amanda Seyfried's and Gary Oldman's latest movie Red Riding Hood:

Romantic Fantasy Thriller. Valerie (Amanda Seyfried) is a beautiful young woman torn between two men. She is in love with a brooding outsider Peter (Shiloh Fernandez), but her parents have arranged for her to marry the wealthy Henry (Max Irons). Unwilling to lose each other, Valerie and Peter are planning to run away together when they learn that Valerie's older sister has been killed by the werewolf that prowls the dark forest surrounding their village. For years, the people have maintained an uneasy truce with the beast, offering the creature a monthly animal sacrifice. But under a blood red moon, the wolf has upped the stakes by taking a human life. Hungry for revenge, the people call on famed werewolf hunter, Father Solomon (Gary Oldman), to help them kill the wolf. But Solomon's arrival brings unintended consequences as he warns that the wolf, who takes human form by day, could be any one of them. As the death toll rises with each moon, Valerie begins to suspect that the werewolf could be someone she loves. Panic grips the town as Valerie discovers that she has a unique connection to the beast-one that inexorably draws them together, making her both suspect...and bait.

Red Riding Hood is released on 15th April 2011.

New UK quad poster for Brighton Rock. Sets a very moody scene!

Adapted from Graham Greene’s iconic 1939 novel, Brighton Rock charts the headlong fall of Pinkie, a razor-wielding disadvantaged teenager hell bent on clawing his way up through the ranks of organized crime. At the heart of the story is the anti-hero Pinkie’s relationship with Rose - an apparently innocent young waitress who stumbles on evidence linking Pinkie and his gang to a revenge killing that Pinkie commits. After the murder, Pinkie seduces Rose, first in an effort to find out how much she knows and latterly to ensure she will not talk to the police.

A love story between a murderer and a witness; can Pinkie trust Rose or should he kill her before she talks to the police? Can Rose trust Pinkie or is she next in line?

Q&A with Jason Statham for his new movie The Mechanic! Talks The Expendables 2 and Crank 3:

Jason Statham, 38, has been called Britain’s most bankable star and one of its most valuable exports, in worldwide cinemas anyway. He first found fame, a lower-grade version anyway, as a champion diver and even represented Britain in the 1988 Olympic Games. He then became a model, street-seller and eventually, by accident or universal design, an actor in Guy Ritchie’s fresh, frenetic 1998 hit, Lock, Stock and Two Smoking Barrels. This brash handsome neophyte almost stole the show. No wonder then that by 2002, visionary French writer, director and producer Luc Besson had cast him as a new era of delivery man in The Transporter, a worldwide hit which spawned a trilogy and effectively crowned Hollywood’s new action king. Many films and rather more substantial fame later, Statham is Arthur Bishop, a brilliant, reclusive hit-man with a different kind of heart in acclaimed British director Simon West’s new film The Mechanic.

You’ve said you want to move towards more quality films. Is The Mechanic one of them?

I think it's definitely moving in a direction that I want to be moving in, yes. It's a little more interesting to play this kind of a character than some of the other roles I've done, and now I'm getting to work with more experienced producers and more experienced directors, like Simon West. And of course actors of great quality like Ben Foster [Statham’s Mechanic sidekick]. I think once you get a good screenplay, everything else about a film gets raised in some way. That's the driving force for me - to work with better people, doing better things, and having better scripts. This is certainly something going in the right direction.

What makes you pick a film?

Gut instinct mostly. That and your intuition are the best things. You have to like the script and be involved with a director you think can steer the ship and keep it off the rocks. That’s a very important thing. [Director] Simon West comes with so much experience so it’s not like you have to make any second guesses that he’s going to know what he’s doing. I’ve worked with first-time directors and they seem cool but sometimes you go, “Am I doing the right thing? Does he know what he’s doing?” I was so pleased Simon was going to do an action film and I was going to be in it. And as soon as they told me they were trying to cast Ben Foster opposite me, I thought, “This is a no-brainer”.

Is there any sort of British “stamp” on the film given that you and Simon are both Brits?

I am a British guy in essentially an American film but I don’t think people really care too much about that although Simon and I are certainly the ones kicking this through. There’s a big British influence. That’s why it’s good. There’s a shorthand with anyone from the UK - you speak the language, the humour’s there. And I tend to work better when I can have a bit of a giggle. Simon supplied that and it takes the pressure off. When something’s good, it just feels easy. And we never take ourselves too seriously. I think that’s a great aspect of the Brits. We’re always laughing at ourselves.

Were you already a fan of Ben Foster’s work?

Oh yes. He’s great. He’s a real quality actor so for me to be able to work opposite someone like that and not some hairdresser cast off the street - which is what happened with Transporter 3 - well, it was fantastic.

The role of Bishop is incredibly physical. Can you talk about your preparation?

It changes so much, depending on how injured I am. I do try to work with stunt people that I've worked with before, so we have a certain amount of know-how in terms of what we are going to do together. It wasn't like we had a ton of extensive choreography to learn for this one but I have a gym I go to that preps me. A ton of stuntmen work out there all the time so it's great to go there before I shoot a film. I try not to focus too much on dieting and losing weight unless it's really, really necessary.

What about the mental side?

Well I'm not a method actor, I hope you know that! I just find an ability to be able to play the roles that I do. The physical stuff is easy, the other prep comes from rehearsals and communication with the director, and that all comes whenever you get to where you are filming.

What was it like filming in New Orleans?

We had a great time down there. We met some great people, and made some great friends. It's the second film I've done down there. It's slightly more appealing in the wintertime than it is in the summer when it gets kind of sticky.

This is a remake of the 1972 version of The Mechanic starring Charles Bronson. Were you a fan of his?

Of course, yeah. I've seen every film he made. That's why he’s so great. You can watch those films time and time again. I've always been a fan of Bronson’s.

Did you have any reservations about tackling a character he had already made his own?

Comparisons are always going to be made, and it's not the first remake I've done. I did a remake of The Italian Job years ago, and again, that was a great, classic movie that some people think should never be touched but it ended up being a decent job. And it's the same with this. A lot of people won't remember the original, or won't even have seen it. It was nearly 40 years ago. So, yeah, I don't think we are too bothered about it being a remake.

Which was the most fun scene to film?

I think being strung up there on the outside of this huge building with Ben [Foster] and seeing how scared he was. He was pooping himself! It makes me sound a little bit sadistic but it’s great when you do something with real excitement to it. It seems there's always so much more reward in doing something in terms of the action than a good dramatic scene. There's no one clapping for that. People might be touched by it but it’s the action stuff which produces the euphoria on set.

Bishop is a huge classic car enthusiast who is restoring an E-Type Jaguar in the film. Do you share his passion?

I love cars actually, yes. I’m not much of a tinkerer but I could talk all day about vintage cars and the old E-Type is a great one. I'm particularly fond of all the Jags, the old Aston Martins, the British cars, but I don't have any classics myself. They tend to break down a lot and there's always a problem with that. There's nothing reliable about an old classic but they’re so great to sit in, walk around and admire.

How comfortable are you being perceived as the action man of your generation?

Very comfortable I suppose, if that's what you want to call me. I'm working away and I'm very happy doing what I'm doing, and things have been going well recently. I've been working with some good people.

You’ve been working as an actor for 13 years now. Can you talk about how you have developed.

I think I know what I'm doing now. Just. You get to know what you're doing and there's no substitute for the experience. The more experience you have, the more you know what will work for you and what won’t. Now I have 10 years of knowing what’s good for me. A lot of the elements are not in your control but when it all comes together, and in a good way, that’s the best. There are certain things I’ve done which make me bow my head with embarrassment and I won’t mention them because there’s no point. Then there are others I’m really proud of. It’s just about reducing the percentage of ones you’re not proud of. I mean I’ve just worked opposite Robert De Niro and Clive Owen in a film called The Killer Elite so that's definitely another step in the right direction.

Was it intimidating working with Robert De Niro?

Very intimidating, as you can only imagine. You don't want to make a fool of yourself in front of that man.

Luc Besson produced all three of the Transporter films you starred in. Do you feel he’s responsible for some of your success?

Oh, he's one of the key figures for me. He was basically the first person who gave me the lead in a movie. He’s a very significant man and had a huge effect on my career.

Who else has had a significant impact on you?

Guy Ritchie of course. [Ritchie has directed Statham in three films, including Lock, Stock and Two Smoking Barrels.] I remember being with Guy years ago and I asked him, “Should I go and sign myself up for drama school?” I’d just done Lock Stock on a whim and his words of advice were: “There’s a fine line between intuition and technique and I think you will serve yourself much better by going on your intuition”. The words and advice of Guy Ritchie seem to stick with me.

Any news on The Expendables 2?

Yes, I have heard about a sequel, and I'll be the first to say yes to a phone call from Sly [Stallone]. As soon as the movie started to do really well, he said, “You know, it would be great to do this again”. And if there's anyone that can do a good sequel, it's Sly. He's done a fair amount. We had a good time and it's definitely something I'd like to repeat.

And what about a third Crank film?

It's a shame the second one [2009’s Crank: High Voltage] didn't do that well. The first one had a little bit more success and the second one was absolutely nuts. I don't know whether we'll do another one, I just know I had a great time working with Mark Neveldine and Brian Taylor [writers/directors]. They are absolutely mad as hatters.

Do you see primarily action films in the cinema or other sorts too?

I like all kinds of films. I don't have any particular favourites. I enjoy myself. I go to the cinema and watch all different kinds of films. Recently I’ve seen The Fighter and The King’s Speech and I thought they were both terrific. Very good indeed.

Did The King’s Speech make the hard man cry?

I do get teary you know. There’s a lot of films I get teary in. Another good film I saw that did make me get teary was Blue Valentine. I did cry in that. I was welling up in The King’s Speech but we watched that with a lot of people and I was trying to stay tough. But it’s so powerful.

How do you like spending your free time?

I like to relax and spend it with people that I've grown up with, people that I care about. I’m happy to just sit around, doing nothing. On a beach is fine.

Are you into soccer?

Not so much. All my friends are. I'm not as big a soccer fan as people might imagine, being British.

You were on the British Olympic diving team when you were younger. Do you still follow diving?

No, it's probably the smallest sport in the world. It’s not even follow-able. Literally, as soon as I retired from diving, I had no interest in it.

How did you get to become a champion diver anyway?

I tried it and then within a year I was on the British team. All of a sudden you are travelling around the world competing, and there's a certain aspect of that which is very appealing to a young man. The next thing you know, you click your fingers, you turn around and 12 years have gone by!

Did your diving career help with this markedly different one?

It was very good for me to do that in terms of what I'm doing now because a lot of the training was about gaining aerial awareness. If you’re doing a lot of stunts, you need a great sense of distance and timing so a lot of the tumbling and trampolining I used to do has paid huge dividends.

What do you have coming up, work-wise?

This is the first period in several years where for the next few months I'm not doing anything. The last three years, I’ve always had something in front of me. Now I'm just waiting for The Expendables 2.

How will you spend your time?

Dropping down two or three gears and just breathing for a few months. I did go back to Britain at Christmas and saw everyone but it’s the wrong time of year to go. It’s hectic and it was too much. I think I will get to go back and see someone I want to see and didn’t get to see, and all the people I hold close. I’ll do that in the next couple of months. Recharge! Get to the spa! Get my nails done!

Five new Sucker Punch character posters makes us all giddy with excitement!

Released over at MSN Movies late on Monday was five brand spanking new character posters for fantasy action movie extravaganza, Sucker Punch. It is the latest movie for director Zack Snyder who has brought us such classics as 300 and Watchmen, so we are certainly in good hands. The five characters shown in the posters include Emily Browning as Baby Doll, Vanessa Hudgens as Blondie, Jena Malone as Rocket, Jamie Chung as Amber and finally Abbie Cornish as Sweet Pea.

Close your eyes. Open your mind. You will be unprepared.

Sucker Punch is an epic action fantasy that takes us into the vivid imagination of a young girl whose dream world provides the ultimate escape from her darker reality. Unrestrained by the boundaries of time and place, she is free to go where her mind takes her, and her incredible adventures blur the lines between what’s real and what is imaginary.

She has been locked away against her will, but Babydoll (Emily Browning) has not lost her will to survive. Determined to fight for her freedom, she urges four other young girls—the outspoken Rocket (Jena Malone), the street-smart Blondie (Vanessa Hudgens), the fiercely loyal Amber (Jamie Chung) and the reluctant Sweet Pea (Abbie Cornish)—to band together and try to escape their terrible fate at the hands of their captors, Blue (Oscar Isaac), Madam Gorski (Carla Gugino) and the High Roller (Jon Hamm).

Led by Babydoll, the girls engage in fantastical warfare against everything from samurais to serpents, with a virtual arsenal at their disposal. Together, they must decide what they are willing to sacrifice in order to stay alive. But with the help of a Wise Man (Scott Glenn), their unbelievable journey—if they succeed—will set them free.

Born from the creative vision of filmmaker Zack Snyder (“Watchmen,” “300”), Sucker Punch features an ensemble cast of young stars, including Emily Browning (“The Uninvited”), Abbie Cornish (“Bright Star”), Jena Malone (“Into the Wild”), Vanessa Hudgens (the “High School Musical” films) and Jamie Chung (“Sorority Row”). The film’s main cast also includes Oscar Isaac (“Robin Hood”) and Carla Gugino (“Watchmen”), with Jon Hamm (“The Town,” TV’s “Mad Men”) and Scott Glenn (“The Bourne Ultimatum”).

Battle: Los Angeles new one sheet poster. Doesn't really do the movie justice!

Released late yesterday was the seventh one sheet poster for upcoming sci-fi action picture, Battle: Los Angeles.  Unfortunately, it is probably the weakest of the set so far, while not being the worst poster ever designed, it's doesn't really give the impact that Battle: Los Angeles deserves. Especially after you see the trailer!

When unknown forces put the City of Angels under attack, it's up to a Marine staff sergeant (Aaron Eckhart) and his new platoon to come to the rescue. As the invasion hits the streets of L.A., the Marines become our first and last line of defense against a highly powerful enemy.

A Turtle's Tale: Sammy's Adventure's in 3D - new UK Quad Poster and trailer! See them here:

Sammy scrambles to the sea shortly after hatching on a beach in California and quickly finds and loses the love of his life, the beautiful Shelly (Gemma Arterton, TAMARA DREWE).

During the epic journey which all turtles accomplish before returning to the beach where they were born, Sammy dodges every possible danger; he battles with piranhas, escapes a fish eagle and searches for a mysterious secret passage, in the hope of meeting Shelly again.

The Adjustment Bureau - Featurette - Behind The Scenes With Matt Damon and Emily Blunt! View it here:

Do we control our destiny, or do unseen forces manipulate us? Matt Damon stars in the thriller The Adjustment Bureau as a man who glimpses the future Fate has planned for him and realizes he wants something else. To get it, he must pursue the only woman he’s ever loved across, under and through the streets of modern-day New York.

On the brink of winning a seat in the U.S. Senate, ambitious politician David
Norris (Damon) meets beautiful contemporary ballet dancer Elise Sellas (Emily
Blunt)—a woman like none he’s ever known. But just as he realizes he’s falling for her, mysterious men conspire to keep the two apart.

David learns he is up against the agents of Fate itself—the men of The Adjustment Bureau—who will do everything in their considerable power to prevent David and Elise from being together. In the face of overwhelming odds, he must either let her go and accept a predetermined path…or risk everything to defy Fate and be with her.

The Adjustment Bureau is written for the screen and directed by George Nolfi (writer of Ocean’s Twelve, co-writer of The Bourne Ultimatum). It is based on a short story by Philip K. Dick (“Total Recall,” “Minority Report” and “Blade Runner”)

Scream 4 - Trailer 2 with Courteney Cox, David Arquette and co!

The fourth installment in the "SCREAM" series.

But the bloodthirsty cult is the least of Milton’s problems. The police are after him too. And worse, an enigmatic killer known only as The Accountant (Fichtner) has been sent by the Devil to retrieve Milton and deliver him back to Hell.

The Oscar-winning star is joined on screen by William Fichtner (“The Dark Knight”), Amber Heard (“The Rum Diary”), Billy Burke (“Untraceable”), Simona Williams and Katy Mixon.

Interview with the legendary Harrison Ford for his new movie Morning Glory! Read it all here:

Q: Hi Harrison. What was it about it about Mike Pomeroy, the legendary newsman you play in Morning Glory, that appealed to you?
A: He was a very different character to one I have played before and I could see his utility in the piece overall. He's a complicated man. What also attracted to me to the role was I liked the people involved in the movie. JJ Abrams (producer) told me he was developing a part for me and when I read it I thought, 'Well done JJ. It's a good opportunity for me'. I also liked the work of (director) Roger Michell. Rachel McAdams and Diane Keaton are actors I also admire so there was no reason not to do the movie.

Q: You say Mike is complicated man. That's an interesting way to describe him.
A: (Laughs) Yes, he's an ass. But, I could also see that the events of the film had an impact on him and he had an impact on Rachel's character, Becky. The emotional context that comes out of Mike and Becky's relationship is a bonus.

Q: Have you ever met a man like Mike?
A: No, I don't think I have, but I think I knew who he was because the script was so clear and his thematic utility in the film was so clear.

Q: We discover Mike is a bit of a gourmand in the kitchen. What about you? Do you have any culinary skills?
A: I like food and I like cooking, but I'm pretty much a meals in minutes kind of guy. I like simple preparations. I suppose I'm famous in my house for my ability to cook a stir fry. I can cook a pretty great stir fry for you very quickly.

Q: You have had so much success as an actor, but have you ever had any secret desire to be a news broadcaster?
A: (Laughs) No.

Q: Who do you admire as a news broadcaster?
A: There are some I admire, but there are others I don't now that news has become an entertainment business. I always admired what Tom Brokaw was doing and of course Walter Cronkite. I like Brian Williams and Diane Sawyer. Those are a few of my favorites.

Q: You have some great scenes with Rachel. She said she was a little intimidated working with you and Diane. Did you notice that?
A: Oh no. Not at all. That could easily fold into the relationship her character has with Mike. He would have been intimidating and frightening, but I don't think she was intimidated or frightened. She's a strong-willed young lady and I think she is a very strong talent.

Q: Some of the funniest scenes in the movie occur when your character goes head-to-head with Diane Keaton's character. Was there much ad-libbing in there?
A: No, no. It was all written or something we came across in rehearsal, but I think that obviously was as fun as anything. I hadn't know Diane before, so I was pleased to get to know her.

Q: Yes, I was surprised to learn you have not worked together.
A: Well, we do different kinds of films. I describe her as being part of the intellectual branch of the service and I'm in the commando branch. You know, the jumping and falling down department.

Q: Knowing that, did you have any preconceptions about Diane going in?
A: I didn't really. I have always thought she was a wonderful actress and it was really fun to work with her. She really knew what she wanted to get out out of her character in each scene and she was tenacious about getting it. I thought she was great to work with. She was inventive, spontaneous and always kept it fresh.

Q: Roger has directed so many wonderful films like Notting Hill and Venus. What was he like as a director with you?
A: He was easy to work with. As a technician, it was easy because of the visual storytelling skill he brought to the scene. He managed the jokes and emotional context both very well. He got good performances from different kinds of actors so I very much admire what Roger did.

Q: Morning Glory deals with the issue of losing and regaining success. What do you regard as being successful?
A: The only significance of success is it allows you to do what you love doing. It's nice to pay your bills, but I've been doing this for 40 years. If I didn't like it I would have stopped doing it a long time ago, but I really do love it.

Q: The film also deals with ambition. Is your approach to working different now than what it was early on in your career?
A: I don't think it’s different. I still have the same ambitions to give the character the best expression I can. To be of service to the thematics of the film and to be a decent person to work with. They’re my goals.

Q: Can too much ambition ever be a bad thing?
A: There's certainly this thing they call blind ambition where one is ambitious for the sake of itself. You only admire ambition that is appropriate and focused on making the film as good as it can be.

Q: There's a great scene in the film where your character is at the legendary restaurant 21 with some veteran news broadcasters, Bob Schieffer, Morely Safer and Chris Matthews. What was that scene like to shoot and what was the topic of conversation when the cameras weren't rolling?
A: We shot that fairly early in the day. We were sitting there for hours as the scene was being lit. It was very interesting. Mostly we just told rude jokes.

Q: Who was the best joke teller?
A: Me of course.

Q: When you need to catch up on news is TV your preferred choice or do you prefer newspapers or the internet?
A: I actually like the radio. The news is very easy to capture via headlines. I'm more interested in the background story. The indepth elements of the story. Somehow, with radio, you have to have an intellectual density because you don't have the distractions of picture and the dash and flash of that. You really have to tell a story.

Q: Do you watch any TV news?
A: I try not to watch too much TV news, but I do flip around between the major news shows. I'm most interested in the Sunday morning shows.

Q: Did you do any research into what makes news anchors tick before you started filming, or did you dive right into it?
A: No research. I just felt I knew the context of the morning news programs after having appeared on them the last 20 or 30 years. I thought I knew how to play that kind of anchor. I knew what was behind him. He was a self-satisfied, smug, kind of an ass. I tried to bring that into the context of being a network news anchor. I'm sure that's not the case of any network news anchor. That was the obligation of this film.

Q: What inspires you to get up each morning and go to work, especially when you have doing it for more than 40 years now.
A: Really, more than anything else, it's the love of storytelling and practicing my craft. It is always a pleasure to work with other people and working with a crew and all the other people who work on the set.

Q: A very funny scene in Morning Glory takes place in Bryant Park when a member of the public runs up to your character and mistakes him for another famous person. Has that ever happened to you?
A: (Laughs) Yeah, people mistake me for someone else. Even though we look nothing alike, people think I'm Michael Douglas.

Q: Michael Douglas? That seems odd.
A: Yeah, it's strange. I don't correct them. I smile, nod my head and keep on walking.

Q: Does working on a film get easier for you or is it still a challenge?
A: For me, the hardest part is deciding what I'm going to do. That usually comes before I'm on the set when I'm working with the director and writers to make clear what we all want from it and how best to get it. The dressing up and pretending to be somebody else is always the play part of it.

Q: With Mike, did you feel sorry for him or do you think he's made his own world?
A: I can see how lonely and tortured he was. Certainly, I could feel a degree of sympathy for him, but ultimately it's his fault.

Q: Mike likes to go hunting and appears to be a good shot with a gun. How are you? Are you a good shot?
A: Pretty good, yeah, but hunting is not an obsession of mine.

Q: Mike has plenty of regrets in life. When you look back on your career, any regrets or do you wish you had done anything differently?
A: No, no regrets. I’ve had a very blessed life and I’m very grateful for it.

Q: It has been wonderful talking to you Harrison.
A: It has been a pleasure.

Interview by Donna Walker-Mitchell

Interview with Rachel McAdams for her new movie Morning Glory! Read it right here:

Q: Hi Rachel, how are you?

A: I’m great thanks.

Q: In Morning Glory your character Becky Fuller is very driven and quirky. What was your take on her?

A: I instantly liked her when I read the script. Becky was just this very scattered, goofy, kind of nutty character who is in charge of everything. She’s trying to keep this whole big fiasco together and she wants to stop it from completely coming apart at the seams, yet she is completely coming apart at the seams. I liked that juxtaposition. I also liked the fact she was very expressive about how she felt. You know, normally, it’s the on-air talent that is so communicative about their feelings, but she’s this behind the scenes person who really had a lot of personality.

Q: Becky has ambition to burn. Could you identify with that in terms of your own career?

A: Definitely. Certainly the feeling of getting your first shot at something you really want and knowing you have to make it work. Or feeling like you have to make it work or you’re never going to get another shot. I think so many people start their careers that way. First of all, it’s about getting your foot in the door and then once you have it there, it’s how do maintain it? We put a lot of pressure on ourselves to get it right, but you can’t possibly do that all the time. There’s no room to fail anymore.

Q: What do you regard as your first big break, the time where you thought everything was on the line?

A: I felt that way from the very first job I had on television in a kids TV series (The Famous Jett Jackson). It was a guest role and it was about three days work, but I thought ‘This is it. This is my moment.’ I was 21 or 22 at the time.

Q: Becky’s mother in Morning Glory is not encouraging in terms of her daughter’s career plans. Were your parents always supportive of your goal to become an actress?

A: Yes, they were always very supportive and I was very lucky. I certainly remember though when I was at school, because I went to theatre school, with a lot of kids whose parents weren’t supportive. I always thought it was so brave of them to be there on their own dime without the support of their family. The thing with acting as a profession, it isn’t a sure thing and yet it’s what you love and you’re going for it. It is tough when you get to that point and think, when do you stop if things aren’t going your way? When do you give up something you love and should you ever do that? The answer is different for everyone.

Q: Do you think you would have ever given up?

A: That’s a good question. I really don’t know. I did face rejection and I still do, but  it doesn’t make me want to run away. It stings (laughs). It’s not a pleasant feeling, but you just pick yourself up, dust yourself off and try it again.

Q: Are you like Becky where you have a very definite idea of where you want your career to go?

A: No, I’m not really like her that way. I don’t really have a plan, I guess. It’s a crap shoot. I just do things which speak to me and I can’t really explain why some things jump off the page and some things don’t. Sometimes you’re at a certain point in your life and it just makes sense, but if you’d read that same script a year before it wouldn’t have even crossed your mind. A good story, a great role, a great director and good people rank highly for me.

Q: Speaking of which, did you know Harrison Ford and Diane Keaton were going to be your co-stars when you signed on for Morning Glory?

A: I knew Harrison was on board and that was another huge draw. I just knew he was going to kill this part. We haven’t seen him like this in a while and he’s so funny. He’s so good at it. I think people forget how funny he is and he does it in such an unexpected way. He doesn’t play for laughs at all. He has a really dry, still sense of humour and it’s really perfect for this character. He was very vulnerable too which I didn’t know going in and I found myself in scenes with him where he was completely exposed emotionally and very honest.

Q: Harrison said you seemed very at ease in doing the scenes with him.

A: No, that’s just my coping mechanism - I seem very calm on the outside, but on the inside, I’m screaming! It’s funny because I always get so nervous, especially when I do awards shows.

Q: Really?

A: Yes and people say ‘You seemed so calm on stage’ but the minute I’m done, I’m shaking like a leaf. I’m always asking ‘Did I just make a completely fool of myself?’ and people say ‘You’d never know you were nervous’ but on the inside, it’s a whole other story. I guess I just conceal it well because I was very nervous to work with Harrison. He’s one of my childhood heroes.  I wanted to impress him when we did those scenes. I wanted to be a good team partner for him and I wanted to bring my A-game because I respect him so much.

Q: What was it like working with Diane?

A: Another amazing person to get the opportunity to work with. She’s so funny and talented and she always looks like a million bucks. She gave me some great personal advice too. I said to her one day ‘You always look so fabulous in the mornings’ while I would come to work dressed in sweatpants. She would always be in high heels and dresses and look so fantastic. I said ‘I always want to save my good stuff’ but Diane told me ‘There’s no time like the present to break out all your best things. There’s no point in saving it. It’s there to be used and you need to treat every day that way.’ I thought that was great because it’s so true. Before that I’d save all my good stuff, but for when? (laughs) Now, thanks to Diane, I’m breaking out the good stuff!

Q: New York is almost like another character in this film. What was it like shooting here?

A: New York is very important in this film. You put a camera on any corner in New York and you’re going to get something amazing, but Roger (Michell) had some very specific ideas of things he wanted to shoot. You know, the statues, the monuments, the things you pass by every day and don’t take note of. He incorporated those in a really beautiful way. I loved his approach to it all.

Q: What was it like working with Roger and how was he as a director?

A: I had met Roger a few times to talk about Morning Glory. I’ve long been an admirer of his films and how diverse they are. He insisted on rehearsals which I think is great. He has a theatre background so he gets the benefit of that. One of the things I like most about Roger is that he has a great way of weaving in these seemingly very peripheral characters and making them important and making them matter. I mean, the greatest pool of unemployed actors are in New York City and he brought in such amazing talent, such as John Pankow (who plays Lenny Bergman) and Matt Molloy (Ernie Appleby). All of the producers in that newsroom where Becky feels bombarded, they were all exceptional. I think that was one of my favourite scenes in the movie. Each and every actor in that scene brought so much to the table.

Q: What was one of the more unusual aspects of shooting Morning Glory?

A: Well, that would have to be the pigeon wrangling. There are billions of pigeons all over New York so you’d think it wouldn’t be difficult to find a pile of them to run through, but let me assure you, I had to coax those pigeons with bread to be in that scene. It was very relaxing actually (laughs). But running wasn’t the easiest in those heels.

Q: I can imagine.

A: Yes, we had to have a shoe test in my trailer to see which ones were going to work. Anything with a platform? Not so good. You need a little grip.

Q: This film deals a lot with drive and ambition. Do you think too much ambition can ever be a bad thing?

A: I do actually. I think being very ambitious can serve you well up to a point, but Becky is one the verge. I think she does tip over at a certain point (laughs) and she has to pull back a bit.  Maybe this is a little more internalised for me regarding Becky, but I think she comes to realise that sometimes you don’t have to do it all by yourself. I think women have a tendency to think we have to do it all, but that can be very hard. I think when you foster relationships, as well as having your career, it means we also can learn to let go a little bit. I believe balance in life is key.

Just released never before seen Get Low clips with Robert Duvall and Bill Murray! Watch right here:

The two clips below the official synopsis have within the last hour just been released by Sony Pictures UK. Out today, make sure you see Aaron Schneider's directorial debut at your local cinema!

For years, townsfolk have been terrified of the backwoods recluse known as Felix Bush (Robert Duvall). People say he’s done all manner of unspeakable things - that he’s killed in cold blood; that he’s in league with the Devil; that he has strange powers - and they avoid him like the plague. Then, one day, Felix rides to town with a shotgun and a wad of cash, saying he wants to buy a funeral. It’s not your usual funeral for the dead Felix wants. On the contrary, he wants a “living funeral,” in which anyone who ever had heard a story about him will come to tell it, while he takes it all in.

Sensing a big payday in the offing, fast-talking funeral home owner Frank Quinn (Bill Murray) enlists his gentlemanly young apprentice, Buddy Robinson (Lucas Black), to win over Felix’s business.

Buddy is no stranger to Felix’s dark reputation, but what he discovers is that behind Felix’s surreal plan lies a very real and long-held secret that must get out. As the funeral approaches, the mystery-which involves the widow Maddie Darrow (Sissy Spacek), the only person in town who ever got close to Felix, and the Illinois preacher Charlie Jackson (Bill Cobbs), who refuses to speak at his former friend’s funeral - only deepens. But on the big day, Felix is in no mood to listen to other people spinning made-up anecdotes about him. This time, he’s the one who is going to do the telling about why he has been hiding out in the woods.

In theaters this holiday season in Disney Digital 3D™, “Tangled” is a story of adventure, heart, humor and hair—lots of hair.

International Paul trailer in Full HD with Simon Pegg and Nick Frost!

You will probably have seen this PAUL trailer already but Universal released the Full HD version of the trailer just a few hours ago, so we thought we'd let you know about it!

Simon Pegg and Nick Frost (Hot Fuzz, Shaun of the Dead) reunite for the comedy adventure Paul as two sci-fi geeks whose pilgrimage takes them to America’s UFO heartland. While there, they accidentally meet an alien who brings them on an insane road trip that alters their universe forever.

For the past 60 years, an alien named Paul (voiced by Seth Rogen) has been hanging out at a top-secret military base. For reasons unknown, the space-traveling smart ass decides to escape the compound and hop on the first vehicle out of town—a rented RV containing Earthlings Graeme Willy (Pegg) and Clive Collings (Frost).

Chased by federal agents and the fanatical father of a young woman that they accidentally kidnap, Graeme and Clive hatch a fumbling escape plan to return Paul to his mother ship. And as two nerds struggle to help, one little green man might just take his fellow outcasts from misfits to intergalactic heroes.

Paul is directed by Superbad’s Greg Mottola, from a story by Pegg & Frost. Joining the comedy’s cast are Jason Bateman, Kristen Wiig, Bill Hader, Blythe Danner, Joe Lo Truglio, John Carroll Lynch, David Koechner and Sigourney Weaver.

Exciting new clip for Brighton Rock set on top of a rather large Cliff!

Adapted from Graham Greene’s iconic 1939 novel, Brighton Rock charts the headlong fall of Pinkie, a razor-wielding disadvantaged teenager hell bent on clawing his way up through the ranks of organized crime. At the heart of the story is the anti-hero Pinkie’s relationship with Rose - an apparently innocent young waitress who stumbles on evidence linking Pinkie and his gang to a revenge killing that Pinkie commits. After the murder, Pinkie seduces Rose, first in an effort to find out how much she knows and latterly to ensure she will not talk to the police.

A love story between a murderer and a witness; can Pinkie trust Rose or should he kill her before she talks to the police? Can Rose trust Pinkie or is she next in line?

X-MEN: FIRST CLASS - New Poster and Images

X-MEN: FIRST CLASS, following the classic Marvel mythology, charts the epic beginning of the X-Men saga. Before Charles Xavier and Erik Lensherr took the names Professor X and Magneto, they were two young men discovering their powers for the first time. Before they were archenemies, they were closest of friends, working together, with other Mutants (some familiar, some new), to stop the greatest threat the world has ever known. In the process, a rift between them opened, which began the eternal war between Magneto’s Brotherhood and Professor X’s X-Men.
