LOS ANGELES - Ben Affleck might be making all the wrong moves in his new film “State of Play,” but in real life, he’s been making all the right choices concerning his career.
HOLLYWOOD, Calif. - It’s been quite a while since Paul Walker last strapped himself into a customized high-octane vehicle and sped toward a huge opening weekend. The first time was in 2001’s “The Fast and the Furious” and the last time was six years ago in “2 Fast 2 Furious.” But now the guy who opted out of the third installment, saying that he’d had enough, has happily reunited with his original castmates in “Fast & Furious,” which hits theaters on April 3.
LOS ANGELES - If Renee Zellweger had a Facebook page, chances are her daily status updates would read a little something like this:
One of the biggest challenges for any filmmaker tackling a biopic is finding an actor who resembles the real-life character they’ve been hired to portray. Usually, you’ll get someone who can mimic a person well but rarely do you find someone who can embody that character from head-to-toe.
LOS ANGELES - Seven years ago, when James Franco was essentially that kid from “Freaks and Geeks” playing James Dean, he embodied the physical and psychological characteristics of those combined characters. He was freakishly handsome, but skittish; enormously talented but ill equipped to deal with all that comes along with being the guy close to becoming the next big thing.
LOS ANGELES - The roles have gotten bigger, the paychecks fatter, but not much else has changed about Anne Hathaway since she started making noise seven years ago with the release of her first big feature film “The Princess Diaries.” She was a teenager then, but she was just as luminous, unpretentious, curious, witty and gracious as she is today.
Kristin Davis is hanging out in Times Square with her gal pals, preparing for a scene the same way she’s done hundreds of times before.
Take heart, losers! No job? No regular access to soap and water? Haze of marijuana smoke hanging around you like San Francisco fog? Social skills barely good enough to keep you from licking yourself like a German Shepherd? You, too, may find yourself the central character in a new movie in which things turn out great for you. And when you do, you will probably owe it to the comedy factory headed up by Judd Apatow, whose “Forgetting Sarah Marshall” opens April 18.
LOS ANGELES - For Ryan Phillippe war has been anything but hell in terms of his career.
LOS ANGELES - Dressed in a form-fitting black pencil skirt with an off-white silk sleeveless blouse, Angela Bassett, star of Tyler Perry’s “Meet the Browns” still looked fresh and fetching even after a full day of interviews.
LOS ANGELES - Back in the days when Martin Lawrence movies were edgier and raunchier, he was box office gold. Now, that he’s older and seemingly wiser, the man who once hosted the midnight blue Def Comedy Jam on HBO has damn near turned into Robert Young from “Father Knows Best.”
NEW YORK - The past couple of years have been one enchanted ride for Amy Adams. But despite all the good that’s come her way — hit movies, an Academy Award nomination, an Elle magazine cover, last week’s performance on the Oscars and her upcoming hosting gig on “Saturday Night Live” — Hollywood’s new “It Girl” is still a bit uncomfortable with all of her “It-ness.”
LOS ANGELES - Colin Farrell was pacing back-and-forth in front of the coffee table in his suite as I entered the room. The cloud of cigarette smoke trailing him totally engulfed me and “In Bruges” writer/director Martin McDonagh, who was seated on the sofa. At first glance it looked as though Farrell, whose reputation as a Hollywood bad boy made him tabloid fodder during the early days of his career, was a bit nervous. I quickly found out, however, that wasn’t the case.
