And Now, Some Real Talk from Paul Bettany

“I’ve made some bad movies, but some of those bad movies have been other people’s dreams, so it would be sort of inelegant to tread on all that. I’ve made movies because I’ve thought, ‘God, I really want my kids to have a house in the country.’ It’s depressing, not being in charge of one’s destiny. So what you have the power to do as an actor is the power to say ‘no’. You don’t have the power to say ‘yes’.” And: “I think it might mean no more action films! I mean, I love action movies, I love all sorts of movies, but there are just too many of the fuckers and too few movies for grownups.” [The Guardian via MovieCityNews]

Amazing Race's Phil Keoghan: We Now Have probably the most Competitive Cast Yet

Phil Keoghan It has been ten years since Phil Keoghan first trigger around the Amazing Race - try not to show him pictures from in those days. "I had been speaking to [executive producer] Jonathan Littman and that he stated, 'Man, Phil, I discovered some photographs people from ten years ago where i was in the finishing line in NY City - i was children!' I had been like, 'Do I wish to see individuals?'" Keoghan informs TVGuide.com. "However I really can't believe it has been that lengthy. The correct answer is remarkable to consider."Fall Preview: Get scoop on all of your favorite coming back showsTen years later, Race continues to be on the top around the globe - claiming back the truth-competition program Emmy having seen its seven-year streak clicked by Top Chef this past year - and it is still boosting the overall game every season. The 19th installment, premiering Sunday (8/7c, CBS), includes a new element, the Hazard, the industry penalty provided to the final team that completes the beginning-line task, its first-ever double elimination, four new nations plus some pretty much-known names: Survivor champs and couple Ethan Zohn and Jenna Morasca Zac Sunderland, the youngest person to sail all over the world Olympic snowboarders Andy Finch and Tommy Czeschin and former National football league player Marcus Pollard.See what Keoghan -whose film The Ride, which assists ms non profit organizations, will air on Showtime later this season -states concerning the new twists, set up show is stunt-casting and what assisted them prevail again in the Emmys. Champion around the Emmy! Have you think you can win it again?Keoghan: Thanks! I didn't. It's pretty remarkable. I figured that to alter the Academy's mind again will be a very hard factor to complete, and that we certainly centered on doing might ensuring we've got their attention again, however i really didn't think we'd win. The episode which was sent through in Varanasi would be a special and different episode that people felt could earn their respect, and that i guess it labored.Last season seemed to be the first in HD. Do you consider that led whatsoever?Keoghan: I actually do. I believe that HD has absolutely enhanced the merchandise and that i think that performed a job, simply because out of the blue what we are doing has been shared on another level. ... An enormous area of the show happens to be revealing where we, are and today using the format and also the HD, it's added a dimension towards the Race that people just did not have for a long time, and i believe you'll notice that much more this year.This year you've four groups of well-known people, at the minimum in their own individual fields. Some fans think there is an excessive amount of stunt-casting previously couple of years. Do you experience feeling this way or should it not appear a person's prestige is that if they would like to be around the Race?Keoghan: I do not think it's different than whenever we had Take advantage of and Amber [Mariano] or perhaps a team from Your Government or even the Globetrotters or champion bull riders using the cowboys. It's nearly finding interesting people, and i believe because the show's gone on, more interesting individuals have arrived at to us. In the finish during the day, it has less related to that somebody is really a celebrity of computer has with the truth that as we find somebody we believe is interesting. If [someone's] more interesting than the usual celebrity, then we are likely to select the more interesting character. ... I believe it is good we now have this type of competitive group this time around. It is a method of trying different things - these four teams are those who are proven within their fields. You will notice immediately the so-known as regular people you will find remarkable themselves. They go like a challenge, like when they know somebody has accomplished something and received prestige for your, then they are certainly to crush them.Satisfy the Amazing Race 19 castIs it more pressure around the Average Joes or even the four teams?Keoghan: Oh, the 4, absolutely! But simultaneously, people in the beginning line aren't always likely to know who Marcus is. So now you ask ,, could he disclose to individuals he performed within the National football league or could he attempt to slip individually distinct and hope the interest would go to Ethan, who many people will certainly say, "Oh, this is the guy from Survivor," or [to] Jenna from Survivor. Towards the audience, they are fully aware who each one of these teams are simply because they get brought to them, but towards the relaxation from the teams, maybe they do not recognize Andy or Tommy.Their hippie look is completely likely to mess up many people too since they didn't seem like that in the Olympic games or throughout their careers. Do you consider more well-known Racers should listen to it this way as well as lie regarding their job such as the poker women did in Season 15?Keoghan: Yeah, I believe it's less about laying and much more about being quiet. The teams will not take their hands up and say, "I've a comment everyone: We are Olympians. We are very competitive. We are incredibly agile and also have great eye-hands coordination and that we wanted to provide you with a heads-up because we believe it's healthy for you to understand we now have these great abilities entering the Race. Thanks.Inch [Laughs] They are likely to pretend like they are a few cruise-y men living in the commune somewhere. Why did everyone add the Hazard?Keoghan: It had been a method to test individuals mental strength from the gate. The way they cope with this penalty along with a surprise challenge from the beginning line? It had been just like a warm-up. It is something that's introduced in the beginning, but it features a moving effect moving forward with the relaxation from the Race. On the other hand of things, the Express Pass has returned. That's been something individuals have desired to fight for. It has been an excellent addition. You would like people racing from the beginning.It is only experienced effect yesteryear two seasons, however i think it's funny the two teams which have won the Express Pass both arrived third and were un-tied with a bad cabbie.Keoghan: [Laughs] Yeah, if there's one consistent factor around the Amazing Race, it is the unpredictability from the cab motorists. The occasions I worry probably the most concerning the teams are when they are in somebody else's vehicle so when they are driving. I do not be worried about other things on the program because we test every challenge again and again again because we are paranoid about creating sure it is a safe, fair race. Other shows can control challenges inside a studio or on the set, but we are operating within the real life. You will find there's couple of conditions this year. The elements performed a significant impact on where we went afterwards. We needed to change course half way through, to ensure that would be a challenge.Additionally you had the first-ever double elimination.Keoghan: That isn't something which the [teams] know straightaway either. We simply let them know concerning the new challenge and also the Hazard. And, yes, as luck may have it, from the gate, some real-world influences play into that first episode in our Race in Taiwan. Among individuals golden moments that happened added another layer to exactly what was setup. Fate plays a crucial role. It features a domino impact on the teams and [was] something which was completely from our control making us scramble.Take a look at our fall preview for art galleries, scoop, premiere calendars and much more!You visit four new nations, Belgium, Denmark, Malawi and Indonesia. This is a pretty large number for just one season.Keoghan: Yeah, this can be a lot for all of us. Indonesia is really a large one. It's this kind of exotic, stunning place - more volcanoes there than any other vacation spot on the planet. We have an incredible, wealthy history. Whenever we are able to showcase somewhere new is essential for all of us. ... And that we take great pride in getting indigenous challenges. Because you will find certain jobs and methods for existence in Indonesia, you want to integrate them into our challenges. There is a reason individuals are fishing the way in which they are fishing.You will find missing sexual all over again within the first episode. The other drama are we able to expect? Anything like chocolate gnome-gate?Keoghan: [Laughs] Oh, nothing beats that. But things get very heated the ones make presumptions. I believe you will find there's great cast this season. ... You are likely to observe how impossible it's to evaluate who's better - such as the flight family and friends. They are not always the fittest people, and surely they have got understanding of having through international airports and just how travel works. I believe we now have probably the most competitive cast yet.

'Dog the Bounty Hunter,' A&E Sued by Bail Bondsman

Jemal Countess/Getty A Colorado bail bondsman is taking credit for the success of the A&E reality series Dog the Bounty Hunter, and he wants compensation for his role in the series. Last week, Bobby Brown sued A&E Television Networks, Hybrid Films, and D&D Television Productions in Colorado federal court. The plaintiff says he appeared in and was principally responsible for 40 episodes of Dog. According to the complaint, the series has grossed more than $400 million in its seven seasons since 2004.Brown has only been paid $6,000 for his contributions. Brown alleges that in 2005, Duane "Dog" Chapman asked him to arrange a series of meetings. Executives from the show are said to have been in attendance to discuss the preparation of shows to be filmed in Colorado. Filming commenced, and Brown says he played an instrumental role. "While the series portrays 'Dog' and his team as assisting Bobby Brown with capturing difficult fugitives, in fact it was Mr. Brown who laid the foundation for each of these captures with meticulous preparation and research," says the lawsuit. "In most cases, he postponed faster and less expensive options to capture the fugitives to ensure there was sufficient quality material for filming. Brown says he prepared voluminous reports and worked at least 50 hours on each episode, and without his expertise and collaboration, the episodes would not have occurred. Brown also claims credit for an episode involving the capture of James English, an episode that Chapman purportedly believes "saved the series" after a recording of him vocalizing a racial slur was publicized. In 2009, Chapman's team allegedly asked him to become a full-time member of the series, and he was filmed for the enhanced role with contracts on the way. But soon thereafter, Brown says he became convinced that the Chapmans didn't intended to fulfill their promises, so he ended his participation. He's now suing over the misappropriation of his publicity rights as well as claims of breach of contract and promises. Brown is demanding unspecified damages. A&E declined to comment. Chapman couldn't be reached for comment.

'Straw Dogs,' 'Scarface,' 'Swept Away': 10 Good, Bad and Unnecessary Movie Remakes

The new sony Pictures"Hay Dogs" For many years, remakes -- the newest being Fishing rod Lurie's Hay Dogs -- in addition to sequels were basically instantly regarded as inferior for their forerunners, by definition items made exclusively to capitalize upon the prosperity of the originals with with devoted fidelity for their sources the only real creative requirement. It was technically not necessarily true but, where sequels are worried, it required a triumph about the order from the Godfather Part II to alter the the usual understanding, to honestly challenge the idea that first is definitely best. Similarly, there've now been enough interesting remakes to place the brakes on any sweeping simplification. Still, many remakes are very bad, the primary reason being that, presuming the initial was sufficiently good to inspire an encore, it's hard to make lightning strike two times, to reconstitute an optimistic creative dynamic in collaboration with a brand new cultural zeitgeist which will forge a powerful audience response. PHOTOS: Fall Movies 2011: Warner Siblings Remaking a famous old film is much more frequently an awful idea than a high quality one. But one celebrated actor-filmmaker who could argue either position is Warren Beatty, that has made one greatly effective remake (Paradise Can Wait) and something poultry (Romance, a tale that really have been done two times formerly). The chances might be against an excellent result, but anything can be done. Five Fine Remakes -- Casino Royale (2006), a Mission Impossible yarn made 4 decades earlier being an all-star spoof, returned to fundamentals with a brand new actor being among the best Bonds ever, breathing new existence in to the longest-running series in film history. -- Allow Me To In (2010), in line with the much-respected Swedish original Let the correct one In from 2 yrs earlier, really enhanced on its inspiration having a better cast and score, tight storytelling and much more evocative setting. PHOTOS: Helpful tips for Fake Film Illnesses -- The Maltese Falcon (1941), Warner Bros.' third try inside a decade at adapting Dashiell Hammett's novel, finally first got it right because of John Huston's faithful adaptation and great cast. -- Sea's Eleven (2001) took it's origin from a very terrible original (all apologies towards the Rat Pack), so Soderbergh, Clooney and Co. clearly felt no constraints to creating this Las vegas tale, lightweight although it is, their very own, with massively effective results. --Scarface (1983) would be a tall order to remake, since Howard Hawks' original from the half-century earlier is definitely an undisputed classic, but a brand new variety of gangster fully warranted a brand new film in another style, one which connected strongly having a modern audience. Five Lousy Remakes -- Your Day our planet Was Still (2008), which shown that the story so strong it assisted start the entire nineteen fifties sci-fi Cold War cycle is probably not check in nearly six decades later. PHOTOS: The Numerous Faces of Tom Sturdy -- Get Carter (2000), a large-budget, synthetic Sylvester Stallone travesty of Mike Hodges' 1971 low-budget, gritty, British gangland classic with Michael Caine. -- The Heartbreak Kid (2007), by which exactly what was clever, droll and wise in Elaine May's 1972 original is made gross, idiotic and graceless through the Farrelly Siblings. PHOTOS: The new sony Pictures Classics 20 Year Timeline -- Taken Away (2002), by which Madonna confirmed for good that they would not be considered a film star, making something excruciating (together with then-husband director Guy Ritchie) from Lina Wertmuller's 1974 Italian original in regards to a master-servant energy reversal. -- The Disappearing (1993), a lamentable undertaking that shows director George Sluizer creating a botch of their own 1988 Nederlander original 5 years later, a predicament repeated more lately when Austrian auteur Michael Haneke remade, shot-for-shot, their own Funny Games, almost as much ast Gus Van Sant had produced Hitchcock's Psycho in another enterprise that may simply be considered entirely unnecessary.

Glam Slam: Breakfast At Tiffanys Turns 50!

By Ryan PattersonLOS ANGELES, Calif. -- Breakfast at Tiffanys is one of my all-time favorite movies. I love Audrey Hepburn. I love Tiffany & Co. I love the soundtrack. (Moon River was the first dance at my wedding). Of course, like every other fashion fan out there, I love the clothes, their influence can still be felt today, five decades later. The movie is the epitome of timeless style. Theres one fashion classic after another. The Little Black Dress. The Ray Ban sunglasses. The trench. The statement necklace. All greatest hits. All etched in our memories thanks to the indelible grace and presence of Audrey Hepburn. Hubert Givenchy designed the clothes, but Audrey Hepburn brought them to life. The movie and its star bring us inside social gal-about-town Holly Golightlys NY world of parties, dates and yes, fabulous fashion. One of my favorite looks is the white goddess gown and chic updo Holly wears in the party scene. Simply divine! The accessories in the film are also beyond chic. Even in scenes where Holly is more casual in a turtleneck sweater and trim slacks, her chain handled structured skin bag stands out, elevating her outfit from simple to sophisticated. Heck, Holly even looks fabulous when she wakes up after a long night, thanks to her glam eye mask and tassel earplugs! Of course, the piece de resistance is the long black Givenchy dress, which has been named best film outfit of all time. Who hasnt been inspired by that iconic little number?! Theres not much I can write about the movie that hasnt already been written in the last fifty years. Theres a reason Breakfast at Tiffanys is such an endearing and enduring film. It has style in spades, sure, but its so much more than thatit also has heart. Copyright 2011 by NBC Universal, Inc.

Trespass: Toronto Film Review

A house-invasion flick that grabs audiences through the throat and just stops compressing lengthy enough to wipe sweat from the palms, Trespasscan't be charged with finesse or novelty -- or to be as large because the names about the marquee -- but there's little reason to consider it won't sell lots of popcorn for any weekend or two.Related Subjects•Toronto Worldwide Fil...

Nathan Amondson's production design is lurid with conspicuous consumption, so garish it appears to boost the temperature within the rooms where weapons are brandished and wall-safe combinations required.

That was fast: “Mel Gibson has shown nothing but antagonism and disrespect to Jews. […] Casting him as a director or perhaps as the star of Judah Maccabee is like casting Madoff to be the head of the Securities and Exchange Commission, or a white supremacist as trying to portray Martin Luther King Jr. It’s simply an insult to Jews.” [THR]
