The first feature trailer for Christopher Nolan’s Interstellar has arrived, expanding on the ambiguous teaser from 2013, though still not giving away much from the feature’s second half (we assume). The picture stars Matthew McConaughey as an engineer recruited for an intergalactic mission through a wormhole to find a new source of food for an […]

Ben Affleck’s Argo defied decades of Oscar history to win Best Picture at the 85th Academy Awards, despite its helmer not being nominated for Best Director. In a teary speech, Affleck made note of his miraculous Hollywood comeback after years left out in the cold. Tonight, he’s the toast of the town. Argo scored two other prizes at […]
Continue readingThe top 10 Oscar ‘sure things’
By Simon Miraudo February 15, 2013 When the first cavemen started to tell stories by projecting shadows onto flat surfaces, we suspect they were forced to compete for an annual award that recognised one’s shadowplay as better than the others. You can also assume that there were onlookers who clubbed each other to death over […]
Continue readingThe Robopocalypse has been postponed
More like Robopocalypse (Not) Now. Steven Spielberg had long been attached to direct the DreamWorks film, based on Daniel H. Wilson’s novel of the same name. Spielberg’s spokesman Martin Levy tells The Hollywood Reporter that production has been halted, indefinitely. “[The project is] too important and the script is not ready, and it’s too expensive to produce. It’s […]

Christopher Nolan‘s The Dark Knight Rises has arrived in cinemas; the final entry in his Batman series, and a gauntlet thrown in the direction of anyone who dares to reboot the caped crusader in its wake. It’s been a long, beautiful, thrilling, heart-breaking, Katie Holmes-forgetting ride, and we’ve had […]
Continue readingBruised and battered – The Dark Knight Rises review
The Dark Knight Rises – Starring Christian Bale, Tom Hardy, and Anne Hathaway. Directed by Christopher Nolan. Rated M. By Simon Miraudo. It’s probably redundant to mention that the final instalment of Christopher Nolan‘s Batman trilogy is epic in scope and ambition, considering a Christ allegory is right there in the title. But The Dark […]

Warner Bros recently revealed six new character posters for Christopher Nolan‘s The Dark Knight Rises as the long promotional road to the July release date rolls on.

A quartet of young ladies are rumoured to be competing for the role of Eponine in Tom Hooper’s upcoming musical adaptation of Les Misérables, the New York Post reports.

Continue readingHathaway to star alongside Jackman and Crowe in Les Misérables
Anne Hathaway will join Hugh Jackman and Russell Crowe in Tom Hooper’s upcoming musical adaptation of Les Misérables, Deadline reports.

The ongoing saga of Pride and Prejudice and Zombies continues as Blake Lively turns down the role of Elizabeth Bennett in the Craig Gillespie adaptation, Hitfix reports. Based on the novel by Seth Grahame-Smith, P&P&Z has undergone a very public pre-production battle; it’s now on its third director, after David O. Russell and Mike White […]
Continue readingBilly Crystal eager to host the Oscars “one or two more times”
It would be something of an understatement to say Anne Hathaway and James Franco‘s hosting stint at the 83rd Academy Awards ceremony was a disappointment. One of the show’s few highlights included beloved former MC Billy Crystal* jumping on stage for just a few moments. Apparently that short appearance has reignited Crystal’s desire to host […]
Continue readingAnne Hathaway responds to Catwoman backlash
Last week, the first image of Anne Hathaway as Selina Kyle/Catwoman from Christopher Nolan‘s The Dark Knight Rises was released online. In it, we see Hathaway straddling a Batpod in a no-frills leather outfit that certainly isn’t as skimpy as that worn by Catwomen past. The fanboys were none too pleased. Hathaway, who is getting quite […]

The sky is falling! Well, at least the top of Gotham’s buildings are, in the newly released teaser poster for Christopher Nolan‘s The Dark Knight Rises. It’s an understated, yet still suitably epic poster for what will surely be the biggest event release of 2012. Christian Bale returns as Bruce Wayne/Batman, and will star opposite Tom […]

The Jess Lomas Book Club: One Day *A weekly feature in which literary connoisseur Jess Lomas examines the upcoming book-to-film adaptations worth keeping an eye on!* In some circles it’s probably frowned upon to admit you’re actually looking forward to an Anne Hathaway film.

Continue readingThe King’s Speech reigns supreme at 83rd Academy Awards
Feel-good period piece The King’s Speech was crowned Best Picture at the 83rd Academy Awards in Los Angeles today. The James Franco/Anne Hathaway hosted ceremony proved to be one of the least surprising Oscars in recent memory, and the telecast even earned the distinction from Roger Ebert of being one of the worst in history. […]

The trailer for the latest Hollywood rom-com romp has arrived, and it actually looks pretty good. Jake Gyllenhaal and Anne Hathaway team up in Love and Other Drugs for a casual relationship with no strings- which seems to be the latest fad in Hollywood rom-comery right now what with No Strings Attached and Friends With […]

Natalie Portman used to be the ‘girl next door’ until her role in 2004’s Closer saw her straddling the stripper pole. More recently in Darren Aronofsky’s new film Black Swan (set to hit our shores January 2011) Portman and co-star Mila Kunis share a lesbian tryst.
