  • Avatar star Zoe Saldana says the cast worked hard during two-year shoot

    SPL139065_028

    Avatar star Zoe Saldana said the cast worked so hard during the two-year shoot for the movie they didn’t know what to do during breaks in filming.

    The 31-year-old actress, who played Uhura in Star Trek earlier this year, plays Neytiri in James Cameron’s much-anticipated movie.

    Cameron first had the idea for the film 15 years ago and it features state-of-the-art special effects.

    Talking about preparations for shooting, she said: “We did archery and movement. We worked with an amazing choreographer to create a specific walk and mannerisms for the Na’vi because we just couldn’t be human.

    “We also did martial arts. Because of who we are, the movement needed to be smooth. We also worked on horseback and there was a lot of training in the gym, so we could sustain rigorous legwork.

    “It was important because I am crouching for half the movie. We would have to wear the tail throughout all our movement training in order to allow it to dictate how we were going to swing and movie.”

    She added: “We worked for a period of two years off and on and, at one point, we had 15 days with no break.”

    SPL121609_002

    The Twilight Saga: New Moon followed on from its record-breaking first weekend to bring in a record-making $42.5 million over the three-day Thanksgiving weekend.

    The takings drove its cumulative box office to $230.7 million, which is the sixth highest of the year, just behind Star Trek, which took in $257.7 million.

    Sandra Bullock’s The Blind Side – which took $40.1 million over three days – did well in second spot, holding its own for overall single-day ticket sales on Thanksgiving before Twilight took first place on Friday.

    Many fans flocked to see Twilight more than once. Sarah Weiner, a young professional from of Marina Del Rey past her teens, has already seen it three times. She said:”The first time the girls in the theatre were so loud, screaming for their character as Edward or Jacob came on the screen. So the second time I heard more dialogue and really got into the story. Then, the third time I went with my girlfriends so we could discuss the entire movie over dinner afterward.”

    She was speaking as she waited in line for a fourth showing.

  • Johnny Depp to pocket $55m for fourth Pirates movie

    Hollywood actor Johnny Depp will reportedly be paid $55m to return as Captain Jack Sparrow in a fourth Pirates Of The Caribbean movie.

    Depp’s fee is reportedly more than double the amount usually paid to A-list stars such as Tom Cruise, Will Smith and Harrison Ford.

    It is claimed that Disney executives believe the deal will save them money, as The Sweeney Todd star, 46, had originally wanted a percentage of the movie’s profits.

    SPL109368_005

    One Disney boss said: “These returns might seem like astronomical figures, but the recession has driven production costs up and profit margins down for everyone.”

    He added: “Percentage deals are a thing of the past. They have proved to be so open-ended that, while talented actors have earned fortunes, studios can no longer afford such budget-busting agreements.”

    The fourth movie, Pirates Of The Caribbean: On Stranger Tides is due to be released in the summer of 2011.

  • Kevin Bacon and Jonathan Rhys Meyers team up for new comedy

    SPL23212_005

    Hunky duo Kevin Bacon and Jonathan Rhys Meyers are teaming up for a fishy new comedy.

    The pair will star in Whole Lotta Sole, which is set to film in Belfast, Ireland, in 2010.

    The movie finds Rhys Meyers playing a thief whose attempt to plunder a fish market leads him to take Bacon’s character hostage.

    Rhys Meyers has to stay one step ahead of both the police and a local gangster.

    Jay Russell has also signed on to direct a script written by Terry George, who wrote Hotel Rwanda.

    Russell said: “This is a great comedy project, not like Terry’s usual political fare.

    “It’s very exciting to have one of the best young actors today, Jonathan Rhys Meyers, teamed up with one of the greats, Kevin Bacon.”

    British stars Sophie Okonedo and James Nesbitt, who co-starred alongside Rhys Meyers in Match Point, will co-star.

  • This Is It director Kenny Ortega pulled out of remake of Footloose

    This Is It director Kenny Ortega has said he pulled out of the remake of Footloose because he needed a break after shooting the Jacko movie.

    The 59-year-old was set to direct the remake of the 1984 flick, but he said the Jackson movie wasn’t planned and he needed a break after making it.

    Talking about his departure from the film, he said: “It was not planned. None of this [This Is It film] was happening when I started working on Footloose with Paramount.

    “I honestly love the team I was working with on it – Craig Zadan, Brad Weston, Neil Meron and Dylan Sellers, the actors. It had been a wonderful couple of years developing the idea but I really need to take a break.

    “I wish them all the luck in the world.”

  • Contenders line up for the fourth Mad Max film

    The announcement of a fourth Mad Max movie has sent observers into a tailspin over who will play the lead role made indelible by Mel Gibson.

    After some Sam Worthington buzz, Mad Max watchers are now saying US and British actors are under consideration.

    British newcomer Tom Hardy and US actor Jeremy Renner are two candidates to enter the field, they say.

    Hardy’s nomination for a British Independent Film Award nomination for his work in Bronson was likely to have given him an edge, while Renner has already declared his interest in the part.

    The Daily Telegraph said: “It is 24 years since audiences watched the post-apocalyptic anti-hero on the big screen. And while Aussie fans hope to see Sam Worthington fill the screen in the lead role, his busy 2010 film schedule may prohibit him from being involved.”

  • Cate Blanchett’s new movie Indian Summer given green light by India

    SPL66137_013

    Cate Blanchett’s new movie Indian Summer can finally go ahead after India’s government gave the green light.

    Production of the film was temporarily put on hold after Indian government officials wanted to see how the affair between India’s first prime minister Jawaharlal Nehru and the wife of the last British viceroy of India, Lady Edwina Mountbatten, would be portrayed.

    Officials have now scrutinised the script and reportedly wanted some parts removed, such as a kiss between the couple and a scene in their bed.

    Filmmakers have been told that the work has to be stated as fictional and any changes will need pre-approval.

  • Sarah Jessica Parker brings twins to movie set

    SPL122945_001

    Sarah Jessica Parker brought her baby twins to work on the set of the new Sex And The City movie that is now filming in New York City.

    Parker’s reprisal of the Carrie Bradshaw sex columnist character has fallen just as she is bonding with the baby girls that were recently delivered via a surrogate. The timing has led to scrutiny of Parker’s ability to juggle career and motherhood and added fuel to the eternal rumour that her marriage to Matthew Broderick is breaking down.

    The babies, Marion Loretta and Tabitha Hodge, were spotted napping beneath pink blankets in a double stroller that was overseen by a nanny.

    Parker bought a brownstone in Brooklyn to provide a more homely environment for her three children, while Broderick is maintaining their Greenwich Village residence because it is close to his work on Broadway.

  • Kate Beckinsale freezing on set of new movie Whiteout

    SPL61758_006

    Actress Kate Beckinsale was freezing on the set of her new movie Whiteout.

    The Brit wasn’t prepared for how cold she would get on the set of her new film in Manitoba and Winnipeg.

    Beckinsale was left voiceless one day when she first went out in the icy temperatures.

    The star said: “There are so many possible ways to die there of being too cold – like if you’ve ever had an alcoholic drink and you breathe in a westerly direction, you’re gonna die! We all panicked.

    “When we first went outside, all the men had beards full of ice, which I thought was make-up department tests – but it wasn’t; it was real.

    The 36-year-old added: “My hair froze to a point just from breathing on it. I thought, ‘I’m from England and I’ll be able to handle the cold,’ but I’ve never known anything like that. The first day, I wasn’t able to speak because my whole throat closed from that first breath.”

    Despite this, Kate still found some benefits of the cold weather.

    She said: “In cold weather, they have great things inside to do, so I went to museums and children’s theatre places with my daughter, who was there for the whole thing. Outside, they had a frozen park, which was one of the greatest things I’d ever done.”

  • Bruce Willis to team up with Arnie and Sly in big action flick

    Film legends Arnold Schwarzenegger, Bruce Willis and Sylvester Stallone are set to share the screen for the first time in what could be the greatest ever action-movie scene.

    The ageing trio have starred in some of the best-loved action movies of the 1980s and 1990s, and even opened the Planet Hollywood chain together – but they have never appeared in a film together.

    Now Willis has revealed that they are apparently set to hook up for Stallone’s latest flick, the ultra-violent, star-studded action film, The Expendables, which already features an ensemble cast including Jason Statham, Mickey Rourke, Jet Li and Dolph Lundgren.

    The Die Hard star told MTV news that he will be joining Stallone and Schwarzenegger to shoot a very special scene for the flick.

    “I’m waiting for a call from Sly about when we’re going to try and make that happen,” he said.

    “I don’t know anything about [my character] yet… But I’m excited about it,” Willis added.

    The film is due to be released in the US next April.

  • Gerard Butler says he wasn’t getting cosy with co-star Jennifer Aniston

    Scottish hunk Gerard Butler has hit back at claims he is seeing co-star Jennifer Aniston, saying he only spoke to her for four minutes before rumours they were dating emerged.

    The 39-year-old is currently filming The Bounty with the Friends star.

    Butler said: “In the last year, there have probably been rumours of ten different women I’m supposed to be involved with. I think maybe one is true.

    “You can walk around with a hundred of your buddies and it’s cool, but the second there’s a woman involved… But the new one is Jennifer Aniston. It’s because she’s single and I’m single.

    “The sum total of our conversation was about four minutes at the Toronto Film Festival.

    “The next day, the story is: ‘Gerry Butler and Jennifer Aniston get cosy at the Toronto Film Festival.’ Cosy? We were standing up and surrounded by 40 people.”

    Before becoming Hollywood’s latest leading man, the Scot was heading for a legal career.

    Butler’s legal career was cut short and his transition to actor eased when he was fired from a law firm a week before he was supposed to qualify as a lawyer.

    He was sacked during the Edinburgh Festival when his mind was on things other than work.

    “I became quite infamous in Scottish legal circles,” he says. It’s very difficult to be fired as a trainee lawyer – they just don’t qualify you at the end of two years. But they actually fired me one week before I was due to qualify.”

  • Harry Potter actor Jason Isaacs says fans would have braved an earthquake to attend the film premiere

    Harry Potter actor Jason Isaacs thinks fans of the film would have turned out for the premiere even if there were “earthquakes and tornadoes”.

    Isaacs, who plays the role of evil Death Eater Lucius Malfoy, was at the UK film premiere of Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince where it rained heavily and there was a thunderstorm.

    However, many fans still braved the weather to attend and Isaacs said: “Frankly I think they would turn out in earthquakes and tornadoes.

    “That’s the effect the Harry Potter stories have. A lot of people have tried to understand why, but nobody really understands. It’s magic.”

    The film’s lead star Daniel Radcliffe, 19, was soaked by the downpour, which reports say was three months’ rain in three hours.
