The Play’s the Thing for Aniston, Ashton, Demi, Brooke, and More
10 November 2009 2:00 PM, PST | Vanity Fair | See recent Vanity Fair news »
Too many stars to fit in one frame: Anthony Mackie, Brooke Shields, Jennifer Aniston, David Cross, Liev Schrieber, Naomi Watts, Jeremy Sisto, Emmy Rossum, Julia Stiles, and Gaby Hoffmann are among the cast members taking a curtain call after performing in the 24 Hour Plays. Kevin Mazur/Getty Images. It has been an unusually starry fall on Broadway—Hugh Jackman and Daniel Craig in A Steady Rain, Jude Law in Hamlet, and, later this month, Catherine Zeta-Jones and Angela Lansbury in A Little Night Music, just to name a few. But rarely has there been such assemblage of big names on one Broadway stage as there was last night at the American Airlines Theater. Among the performers were Jennifer Aniston, David Cross, Billy Crudup, Rosario Dawson, John Krasinski, Ashton Kutcher, Eva Mendes, Demi Moore, Rosie Perez, Sam Rockwell, Liev Schrieber, Brooke Shields, Julia Stiles, Amber Tamblyn, and Naomi Watts.

Jennifer Plays With Demi, Emily, and Naomi in NYC
10 November 2009 7:00 AM, PST | Popsugar.com | See recent Popsugar news »
Jennifer Aniston was in La last week for her stylist's wedding, but she popped up in NYC last night to take part in the annual 24 Hour Plays on Broadway. She joined a handful of actor couples for the evening, including Emily Blunt and John Krasinki as well as Liev Schreiber and Naomi Watts. Demi Moore was a lot more covered up than her recent W cover, as she posed with husband Ashton Kutcher. Jennifer joined her fellow thespians onstage to sing "Yellow Submarine" and take part in the hastily-written theater exercise, which was held to benefit arts in education programs in public schools. She took her bow next to a similarly-dressed Brooke Shields before moving on for some after-hours fun with Ashton and Demi. View 35 Photos › To see more from the event, just read more.

Aniston Takes To The Stage In New York
10 November 2009 4:11 AM, PST | WENN | See recent WENN news »
Jennifer Aniston took to the stage in New York City on Monday night to show off her singing skills in a star-studded theatre event.
The former Friends actress signed up to appear in The 24-Hour Plays, a series of six short works which are written, rehearsed and performed in just one day. The gruelling task gives actors less than 12 hours to polish their performance before the curtain goes up.
Aniston appeared in Ramen Noodle alongside Brooke Shields, and showed off her vocal ability with a rendition of Beatles classic Yellow Submarine.
Ashton Kutcher and Demi Moore also appeared in the evening of short plays, as well as Naomi Watts, Liev Schreiber, Sam Rockwell and Julia Stiles. »

What’s so funny?
A camel-clutching Alexander ‘Sasha’ Pete, 2, gets the giggles with dad Liev Schreiber while out for a walk on Sunday in downtown Manhattan.
Joined by Naomi Watts and 11-month-old Samuel Kai, the family enjoyed the sunny day, strolling around Soho with the boys before heading home.

Original "The Ring" Director to Hear "Voice From the Stone"
7 November 2009 10:35 AM, PST | Manny the Movie Guy | See recent Manny the Movie Guy news »
Hideo Nakata is set to direct the supernatural thriller "Voice From the Stone." Nakata directed the original Japanese version of "The Ring" ("Ringu") and the English sequel "The Ring Two" starring Naomi Watts.
Mark Wheaton ("The Messengers," "Friday the 13th") has written the screenplay based on an Italian novel of the same name. The story revolves around a female child psychologist who takes on the case of a young boy who made a promise to his dying mother. The promise? He will remain silent until her spirit returns. Tan dan dan...
Nakata is the perfect choice to helm this project. "Voice From the Stone" has a strong female character and a perturbed young boy at its core, much like "The Ring" films with Watts' Rachel protecting her young son Aidan (David Dorfman). »

The Ring’s Hideo Nakata Hears Voice From the Stone
6 November 2009 8:01 AM, PST | Beyond Hollywood | See recent Beyond Hollywood news »
Japanese director Hideo Nakata is most famous for directing the original versions of the “Ring” movies, or “Ringu” as its known overseas. He loved directing ghost ladies who climb out of TV’s so much, he returned to the franchise in 2005 to direct the sequel to the American version starring Naomi Watts. (And, I suppose, the nice paycheck didn’t hurt, either.) With “Ring” still apparently popular (though I suppose that’s open to debate), Nakata is currently attached to direct the third entry, which is scheduled for 2011. Before that, though, Nakata is helming “Voice from the Stone” for Zanuck Independent. Based on an Italian novel of the same name, “Voice From the Stone” was adapted by Mark Wheaton, and tells the story of a female child psychologist who takes on the case of a young boy. Nothing creepy there, right? Not so fast, my friends. You see, the hook »

Sony Pictures Classics Picks Up Mother And Child
2 November 2009 4:02 PM, PST | cinemablend.com | See recent Cinema Blend news »
Annette Bening, Naomi Watts, Samuel L. Jackson, Kerry Washington and Sony Pictures Classics are one big happy family. Well, not literally and they.re not even particularly happy. Spc just nabbed domestic distribution rights to Rodrigo Garcia.s Mother and Child, a drama about some of the less rosy sides of motherhood. The film takes a look at the relationship between mothers and their children through three parallel stories. Bening.s character suffers with the recent loss of her mother in addition to the recurrence of guilt over giving her child up for adoption. Watt.s character is without motherhood entirely, never having known her own mother and completely engrossing herself in her work as a lawyer. In Washington.s character.s case, she.s desperate to become a mother but is deemed infertile. Mother and Child premiered at the Toronto Film Festival in September and was received quite well. »
Mother and Child No Longer Up For Adoption
2 November 2009 3:42 PM, PST | FilmExperience | See recent FilmExperience news »
Sony Pictures Classics announced today that they've picked up the Tiff hit Mother and Child starring Annette Bening, Naomi Watts, Samuel L Jackson and Kerry Washington. The Rodrigo García adoption drama prompted more than one pundit to declare that The Bening would most definitely be back in the Best Actress Oscar race. But the press release makes no promises about when Spc would be showing off their new bundle to the public.
Kerry Washington and Shady Naomi Watts work it out in San Sebastian, promoting Mother and Child
Sadly we'll have to assume it's not for another year (sigh... All these movies completed and placed on shelves). After all, Spc is already octomom of the Oscars for 2009. So very fertile they are. Eldest children include: An Education, Moon and Coco Before Chanel. But there's a whole litter about to drop (and now I promise I'll quit with this pregnant metaphor): The White Ribbon, »

Lindsay Lohan spotted kissing Gerard Butler (IrishCentral)
2 November 2009 6:02 AM, PST | IrishCentral | See recent IrishCentral news »
Irish-American actress/singer Lindsay Lohan was seen smooching Scottish actor Gerard Butler. The queen of the tabloids, whose on again, off again relationship with DJ Samantha Ronson recently ended, was seen locking lips with the handsome “300” star after performing a raunchy dance for him at the Sol Kerzner Mazagan Beach Resort in Monaco. Following the kiss, Lohan was quoted by Britain’s Daily Mirror as saying: “He’s hot, he’s mine. I’ve got no ring on my finger so I’m gonna have lots of fun. This is the most romantic place in the world after all.” Earlier in the evening, the “Mean Girls” actress had admitted to fellow partygoers that her romance with Ronson was over for good and she was out to enjoy herself. She said: “I’m fed up of all the drama. I just want to find someone who loves me back. I feel »
Spc Adopts 'Mother and Child'
2 November 2009 | ioncinema | See recent ioncinema news »
- With the kind of Best Actress buzz that An Education's Carey Mulligan is receiving, its no surprise that Sony Pictures Classics didn't speed up the adoption process on Rodrigo Garcia's Mother and Child. A late deal and a 2010 release is exactly what might help Annette Bening's own chances at repeat wins. You see, there is a group of people (including myself) that think that her take as a bitter, angry, old hag is a winning performance. I thought that the character initially came across as a facile and one dimensional but a little bit past the point where Jimmy Smits' character enters her life, her part gets tweaked ever so slightly - the emotional make-up of her character is made more complex. And if she receives this kind of attention, it could add weight to supporting actress nods for Naomi Watts? Spc announced that they »
Summit Entertainment proves its international prowess
1 November 2009 1:55 PM, PST | Twilight Examiner | See recent Twilight Examiner news »
To most Twilight fans, Summit Entertainment is the production and distribution company responsible for Twilight, The Twilight Saga: New Moon, The Twilight Saga: Eclipse, and Robert Pattinson's Remember Me. You might also know them for their presentation of Dakota Fanning's Push and the New Moon trailer-previewed Bandslam. To the film community (particularly the international film community), though, they are a surprising case study in international prowess. A recent Variety article took a look at the success that Summit Entertainment has enjoyed abroad. While many in the industry have lamented the sorry state of foreign sales, Summit has been consistently selling everything on its slate. At Cannes, the company did brisk pre-sale business on films ranging from "Fair Game" (a thriller starring Sean Penn and Naomi Watts) to Roman Polanski's "The Ghost," animated pic "Astro Boy" and "Twilight" sequel "New Moon." ....

Top Ten Movie Screamers
30 October 2009 6:53 PM, PDT | Alternative Film Guide | See recent Alternative Film Guide news »
Doctor X directed by Michael Curtiz (top); Janet Leigh in Psycho (bottom) Halloween Time. So, here’s my list of the Top Ten Movie Screamers of All Time. Well, at least the Top Ten Movie Screamers of All Time That I Can Think of Right Now. You won’t find any new movies here because I tend to avoid most recent horror movies — partly because most of the recent ones I’ve seen are total crap; partly because there’s enough horror in the world out there and I see no need for me to go looking for more at the movies. Also, most of the screaming newcomers don’t have the vocal flair of their predecessors. Even Naomi Watts, a really good actress, pales next to [...] »

A Fistful of News

We missed some stories this past week. We’re sorry. But we did not forget them. We never forget. We’re like elephants and people who hold grudges. With that in mind, here are some stories that are a little late but they’re still great. You can enjoy them all after the jump.
The fantastic 1997 sci-fi film “Gattaca” may become a television series in the vein of “CSI”. I don’t know how that works since the police would probably be the genetically-engineered humans while the interesting, true-born humans would be the ones hunted down.

Gadget of the week: BlackBerry 8700 Smartphone from Funny Games
29 October 2009 6:02 AM, PDT | Boxwish.com | See recent BoxWish news »
Be warned sensitive Boxwishers – there’s very little to tickle your funny bone in Funny Games. The shot-for-shot remake of the 1997 German film of the same name sees the domestic bliss enjoyed by George (Tim Roth), his wife Anne (Naomi Watts) and their young son, Georgie shattered when a holiday to their lake house is interrupted by two psychopathic strangers. It’s certainly not light viewing, but makes an unusual spin on the modern horror thriller, and so, with Halloween looming, we’re celebrating the movie by naming its BlackBerry 8700 Smartphone as our gadget of the week. »
Liev Schreiber, Sons Bond Over ‘Straight Up Boys Stuff’
29 October 2009 5:00 AM, PDT | People - CelebrityBabies | See recent People - CelebrityBabies news »
Bauer-Griffin
Boys will be boys! At least according to actor Liev Schreiber, father of Alexander ‘Sasha’ Pete, 2, and Samuel Kai, 10 months, who tells Us Weekly that the trio’s quality time spent together is, more often that not, nothing more than good old-fashioned male bonding.
“We like dinosaurs a lot. We like to draw. We like cars. Pretty much straight up boys stuff.”
While Liev certainly knows how to have a good time with his sons, he admits when it comes to more domestic areas — like searching for the perfect Halloween costumes — he finds himself in uncharted waters.

50 Influential Scream Queens: Part 2
27 October 2009 10:57 PM, PDT | Fangoria | See recent Fangoria news »
Before I launch into the conclusion of my 50 Influential Scream Queens (read part 1 here), please let me remind you that this list is based upon my personal taste, and my personal taste alone. I didn't poll 100 Fango readers, the Fango staff or any other form of 'industry professionals'. It's all opinion, so if you feel I've wronged a certain actress by excluding them from the list, don't leap to brand the entire Fango crew 'vile'. I probably just don't personally find their work to be that influential. Either that or I'm just ignorant to their accomplishments!
25. Mia Farrow: Mia's genre work may be a bit limited, but that doesn't change the fact that Rosemary's Baby will forever be regarded as one of the creepiest films in history. Farrow's portrayal of Rosemary Woodhouse is harrowing to say the least, and will always remain (in my mind) one of the best performances the genre has seen. »
