So, how does Juliette Binoche feel about Gerard Depardieu's recent, out-of-nowhere dis, "Please can you explain to me what the secret of this actress is meant to be? [...] She has nothing. Absolutely nothing"? Empire caught up with Binoche, who managed to handle the matter with grace, a few digs at Depardieu's masculinity, and a savvy plug for her current movie, Certified Copy.
Movieline's favorite botanical web series, Zach Galifianakis' Between Two Ferns, has issued a new episode that is unfortunately without its hirsute mischief maker doing the MC'ing. Instead it's Zach's twin brother, "Seth," who gets to interview a very sullen Sean Penn and ask the Oscar winner about famous actors like Ryan Reynolds and "Jack Nicklaus." It's all perfectly amusing -- one wonders how it's possible for Penn to stay in irritable character for three minutes! -- and brought to you by Speed Stick. Of course. Click ahead to watch the funny.
Chris Evans didn't plan to sign up for so many comic book movies -- really! So how did his superhero-studded career come together? The newly minted Captain America told Elle all about it, and Movieline has the first look.
Are you lusty for Megan Fox? Crushing on Movieline's own Louis Virtel? The newest episode of Diablo Cody's internet chat show Red Band Trailer can satisfy either craving, seeing as how it pits Fox and Cody against each other in a Price is Right-type game officiated by none other than Movieline's foremost game show historian. Drew Carey, your job security is in long-overdue jeopardy. Enjoy:
How about those Emmy Awards last night?! Despite having a giant middle chuck filled with boring boredom -- this just in: Temple Grandin won another award -- the show was briskly paced, loaded with surprises and really kinda fun. Part of the reason for this was Jimmy Fallon, who proved fairly adept at hosting, even if he should have dumped the unfunny Twitter introductions before they even started. No matter, though: The contact high produced by the ambitious, Glee-inspired "Born to Run" opening number more than made up for any later shortcomings. Ahead, watch the Movieline-approved best moment of the Emmy telecast. Take it away, Jimmy!
They're sleek. They're sexy. They're sssssorta famous? And they're ganging up for one last heist job in the new film Takers. But does the ensemble including Paul Walker, Idris Elba, Hayden Christensen, and T.I. actually have what it takes to lift this late-summer thriller to blockbuster heights? For the answer we turn to none other than Movieline's chief film critic Stephanie Zacharek. Verdict, please?
Can a nose job lead to fame and fortune? It can if it's accompanied by Daisy Dukes and better lighting, as Gemma Arterton finds out in the new Stephen Frears comedy Tamara Drewe, and as plastic surgery devotee Heidi Montag knows all too well.
News trickled out of Cuba earlier this summer that filmmakers there planned Juan of The Dead, a horror comedy in which the titular hero takes aim at commie zombies with an oar. His husky ally tags along for comic relief and moral support. Sound familiar? Of course it does. It's also actually happening, if two new teasers are any indication.
Betty White's assault on pop culture has been mostly relegated to possible casting announcements and book deals as of late, but with her Creative Arts Emmy win last Sunday, things have begun to ramp back up anew. White be front and center at the Emmys this Sunday, and she'll follow that up with two September appearances: a guest starring role on the season premiere of Community and a supporting grandma performance in You Again. So, how will White promote those efforts? With viral videos, natch.
Humpday isn't exactly the sort of movie that spawns a franchise, but here's the closest thing: The Freebie, about a similar kind of mumblecore couple in comically sexual crisis. It's even directed by -- and starring -- Katie Aselton, the wife of Humpday star Mark Duplass.
Last week, when a fairly funny "For Your Consideration" ad for Piranha 3D hit the internet and then promptly had several of its jokes snipped, some speculated that the Weinstein Co. was afraid of Oscar blowback (thought I'm guessing they realized the four-minute clip was just too damn long?). Consider this the company's rejoinder, then: a new Piranha viral video where Ving Rhames wins a Best Actor Oscar for the film, makes out with Elisabeth Shue, and throws shoes at Brad Pitt. Enjoy!
Things are looking up for M. Night Shyamalan! He is in the prime of life at age 40, and despite all critical evidence to the contrary, The Last Airbender has managed a healthy global box-office take of $225 million and counting. His Night Chronicles debut next month with the nifty-looking Devil, and his return to acting alongside Penthouse Pet Ryan Keely and MTV Movies correspondent Josh Horowitz is one of his finest performances to date. No, seriously. And there's a special cameo! Watch it after the jump.
TBS may not have figured out a title for Conan O'Brien's new show, but they have found multiple ways to promote the network's most anticipated fall premiere without demanding the star's actual participation. The network has already given Conan's likeness an old-timey makeover, claymated him and now, in their most daring marketing move yet, they are presenting his trademark pompadour on a showroom floor (or rotating platter?), for you, dear viewers.
Not the live-action train wreck, that is, but rather Avatar: The Last Airbender -- the animated source series that one particular fan knows waayy too much about. How else would he or she have been able to contribute this staggering new contribution to the ever-expanding Scott Pilgrim vs. Whatever DVD Set I Can Cobble a Couple Minutes of Uncannily Compatible Footage From meme. Take note, Edgar Wright and M. Night Shyamalan. (Actually, Wright already did; this post is via his blog.) The ball's in your court, Manoj.
Several months ago, Martin Scorsese was sighted in Williamsburg while directing a Chanel ad starring French heartthrob Gaspard Ulliel. Now the clip has come out, and it forces us to wonder: Why is Scorsese saving his most glamorous tendencies for one-off commercials?
