Top Chef: The Chefs Take a Gamble
1 hour ago | People.com - TV Watch | See recent People.com - TV Watch news »
Las Vegas has been a major character all season on Top Chef, but on Wednesday the chef-testants came face to face with something truly emblematic of Sin City when the six remaining chefs had to cook up a dish inspired by a visit to a classic casino. And in their Quickfire, they had to contend with another Vegas staple: room service! Breakfast in Bed: With Nigella Lawson serving as this week's guest judge, things got off to a luxurious start. The chefs had 30 minutes to make a dish in the basement kitchen of the Venetian, then carry it upstairs to Lawson and Padma, who were both wearing robes. Despite the light touch, the chefs who prepared the heaviest, meatiest dishes actually wowed the ladies the most: Kevin's play on steak and eggs delighted Lawson, but Eli's twist on the Reuben sandwich -- using poached eggs -- won the chef the Quickfire challenge, »

Jessica Alba's Honor ambitions
11 November 2009 5:03 AM, PST | Monsters and Critics | See recent Monsters and Critics news »
Jessica Alba is banning her daughter from becoming an actress. The 'Sin City' actress says she and husband Cash Warren will support 18-month-old Honor Marie with whatever she wants to do in life - so long as she doesn't go into showbusiness. She said: "I definitely don't want her to do that... Anything but that!" The 29-year-old star - who regularly appears in polls to find sexy stars - also admitted she is too busy with family life to think about her appearance. She added to E! online: "I never feel sexy. I never do, and that's the truth. I'm always wondering when my next break is. "I want to call home and talk to my husband or »
Michael Madsen is our nominee for Hardest-Working Man in Show Business
11 November 2009 5:00 AM, PST | EW.com - PopWatch | See recent EW.com - PopWatch news »
Michael Madsen calls movies "pictures" and makes a new one every couple weeks. I happened to check his IMDb page recently, and I noticed something incredible: the man acted in 25 movies released this year. 25*! Sure, they all have dubious titles like You Might As Well Live, Lost in the Woods, and Road of No Return. Sure, Madsen mostly plays characters with names like "The Reverend," "The Associate," and "Clinton Manitoba." But the sheer quantity of Madsen-imprinted cinema in 2009 deserves a special kind of acclaim. Madsen is philosophical about his workaholic output. "I'm only good when I'm busy. When I've got nothing to do, »

10 November 2009 1:33 PM, PST | buddytv.com | See recent BuddyTV news »
Hey how about it on Top Chef? The 11th episode on the 11th day of the 11th month? Coincidence? Tonight on the Bravo cooking show, it's back to regular programming after the "all-star dinner" last week. On "Strip Around the World" the six remaining chefs are tasked to create the perfect breakfast in bed for Nigella Lawson, an English food writer, journalist, and Padma Lakshmi.
As for the show's elimination challenge, they must prepare small plates inspired by Vegas casinos (this is after all Top Chef: Las Vegas). So they go through some of Sin City's most famous casinos in the Vegas strip to come up with a winning dish.

Carla Gugino on Sex Appeal, Women in Trouble, and Her Sucker Punch Musical Number
10 November 2009 10:00 AM, PST | Movieline | See recent Movieline news »
Carla Gugino's had great success as an actress -- she's a geek goddess after her Sin City cameo and her turn as Sally Jupiter in Watchmen, and she won raves on Broadway this year for Desire Under the Elms -- but she's thinking of starting a second career as a porn star. Just call her Elektra Luxx, the character she plays in boyfriend Sebastian Gutierrez's new movie Women in Trouble; it's a role that Gugino enjoyed so much that she's hoping to spin Luxx into a series of additional films. A little assertive, the slightest bit daffy, and rocked by news of an impending pregnancy, Luxx is a porn star on the brink -- and that's just where Gugino likes her.
I talked to the 38-year-old actress yesterday about Luxx's appeal, onscreen sex, and her much-anticipated reteaming with Watchmen director Zack Snyder on Sucker Punch, which Gugino was eager to discuss. »
Looking for Inspiration for Hotel Design? Try Violent, Profane Movies
9 November 2009 8:30 AM, PST | Fast Company | See recent Fast Company news »
Quentin Tarantino's cult classic, Reservoir Dogs, with its cast of violent, sociopathic killers with names straight out of a Crayola box--Mr. Orange, Mr. Blue, Mr. Pink--was the inspiration for a 10-pack of rooms at the recently-opened Paradise Tower at the Hard Rock Hotel in Las Vegas. Like skulls stenciled on your bedroom wall? Got that. A bed illuminated by blue neon? Check. Wall-sized images of topless women enjoying a post-coital smoke above the headboard? No problem.
"Everyone was so afraid we'd look like another Morgans Hotel property," says Hard Rock Cmo Phil Shalala. "But we kept our brand." Indeed.
The ten pool suites in "The Dime" were designed by South African designer Mark Zeff of ZeffDesign and Las Vegas-based designer Mark Tracy of Chemical Spaces to be decadent, party-like-a-rock-star spaces. Each one is outfitted with the accoutrements critical to the life of a hard-partying young music or entertainment industry »

Sin City producer Stephen L'Heureux's Solipsist Films has acquired the rights to Ed Laroche's graphic novel Almighty.
According to Mania, Black Hawk Down screenwriter Ken Nolan is attached to write the script and potential directors are being approached.
Created, written and drawn by Laroche, Almighty takes place in 2098 and follows a female motorcycling mercenary called Fale, who is hired to rescue a girl and bring her home across a third world America - "a fractured landscape of segregated zones driven by neo-tribalism."
Laroche said: "At its heart Almighty is a pursuit story. As the story unfolds there are other things that are attached to it but at the core of it, a girl has been kidnapped and someone has hired a killer to find her and bring her home." The official website for Almighty is here.
Mania adds that Solipsist has also picked up screen rights on two other titles. »

'Sin City' Producer Bringing 'Almighty' To The Big Screen
5 November 2009 6:58 AM, PST | MTV Splash Page | See recent MTV Splash Page news »
Ed Laroche’s graphic novel “Almighty” has been optioned by “Sin City” producer Stephen L'Heureux’s Solipsist Films.
According to Mania, “Black Hawk Down” screenwriter Ken Nolan is also attached to adapt the script and “Almighty” is already being shown to potential directors.
Created, written and drawn by Laroche, “Almighty” takes place in 2098 and follows Fale, a female mercenary who is hired to rescue a girl from kidnappers and bring her home safely across the dangerous terrain of a "third world America" that has descended into neo-tribalism.
According to Laroche, Fale is a departure from the standard female action hero—embodied in recent years by Kate Beckinsale’s Selene from the “Underworld” film series and numerous Milla Jovovich movies like “Resident Evil” and “Ultraviolet.”

Clive Owen Gets Back
By
Clive Owen is one of those actors that keep surprising you. Just when you think the audience, and the Hollywood establishment, has pegged him as an action hero, a leading man, or a romantic comedy pin-up, Owen pulls an about-face and does something unexpected.
It all started October 3, 1964 in Coventry, England. Owen’s father, a country music singer, abandoned the family when he was just three. His mother later remarried, with Clive and his four brothers raised by his mother and stepfather, who worked for British Rail. Owen has characterized those early years as "rough." A self-described “solidly working class” kid, Owen was bitten by the acting bug at age 13 and followed his dream to The Royal Academy of Dramatic Art several years later. Initially cutting his teeth on high-profile British television programs such as “Chancer” and “Sharman,” as well as art house »

DVD Review: ‘Fear(s) of the Dark’ Dazzles More Than Scares
2 November 2009 10:03 AM, PST | HollywoodChicago.com | See recent HollywoodChicago.com news »
Chicago – Though graphic novels may read like great movie storyboards, they often fail to translate into compelling cinema. From “Sin City” to “Watchmen,” filmmakers have tried replicating graphic art with a reverence more suffocating than exhilarating. Images that reverberated with power on the page become coldly calculated on the big screen. No matter how tightly structured a film may be, it must give viewers the illusion of spontaneity. And there’s nothing more tiresome than a horror film in which all the scares feel telegraphed.
DVD Rating: 3.0/5.0
That’s the interesting challenge facing “Fear(s) of the Dark,” a compilation of short subjects from six of today’s most celebrated graphic artists. As an animation exercise, the film is consistently fascinating. Each artist’s approach to the cinematic medium is as distinctive as their trademark visual styles. Though their films are wildly different from each other, they all grapple with »

31 October 2009 8:00 PM, PDT | MoviesOnline.ca | See recent MoviesOnline news »
Sin City 2 is coming and its been a non stop on and off as to when exactly we would get it. We have talked to Clive Owen and Rosario Dawson about the project in the past and each time the answer has been its coming soon. Today from Mania.com comes confirmation that Sin City 2 will be coming in 2010. They are saying that it will be an entirely original story which contradicts what Frank Miller has said earlier.

There will be 2 more stories. One will be about Nancy avenging Hartigan's death by killing remaining members of the Roark family. Miller says this will show "a whole new side of Nancy. »

Universal Studios Home Entertainment has unveiled the trailer for the upcoming “Smokin’ Aces 2: Assassins’ Ball,” a prequel to Joe Carnahan’s kinetic hitman flick.
“Smokin’ Aces 2″ synopsis: Federal agents once again match wits with a cadre of creative killers in the high-octane feature-length film Smokin’ Aces 2: Assassins’ Ball. Walter Weed (Tom Berenger) is an unassuming desk jockey at the FBI when the Bureau uncovers a plot to assassinate him. A team of degenerate, psychotic assassins dispatched by mystery man Hal Leuco to win a huge bounty includes a resourceful beauty who has a unique method of killing her prey (Martha Higareda), a power-tool wielding psychopath (Vinnie Jones) and a deadly master of disguise (Tommy Flanagan). Also in the hunt is the fan-favorite Tremor family from the original film, featuring nymphomaniacal gun-nut (Autumn Reeser) and her lethal kinfolk (Maury Sterling, Michael Parks and C. Ernst Harth).

Robert Rodriguez Leaves Live-Action 'Jetsons'
31 October 2009 9:14 AM, PDT | GetTheBigPicture.net | See recent Get The Big Picture news »
Even with the Spy Kids connection, it didn't seem to be a natural fit to have Robert Rodriguez direct a live-action Jetsons, one the dozen or so projects on his to-do list. And it now looks as though Rodriguez has abandoned the adaptation to focus on some of those other films. Pajiba, which also this week broke the news about Peter Berg leaving Dune claims that Rodriguez is out and Warner Bros. is actively looking for a new director.
Back in June, Rodriguez said he wanted to shoot in 2010, a familiar refrain from the guy who still hasn't made Sin City 2. But with the way Predators has been pushed into production and with yet another rumor about that Sin City sequel, Rodrigruez doesn't have time to meet George Jetson. Let's not undersell the lack of an audience for the director's Shorts back in August. That might have changed the »

Sin City 2 To Start Production In 2010?
30 October 2009 12:36 PM, PDT | ScreenRant.com | See recent Screen Rant news »
For months now all we’ve really had on the Sin City 2 front is “it’s happening… it’s on its way… it’s coming… at some point!…” Well, maybe not that exactly but you get my point. Back in May this year, we reported that Sin City 2 was finally moving forward, with Rodriguez saying he’d talked to “key players” about the sequel. A couple of months later Alexis Bledel (the blue-eyed girl from the first Sin City) talked about how her character would fit into the sequel considering her character was [Spoiler] presumably murdered by Josh Hartnett’s “The Man” at the end of the first film. [End Spoiler] From what she revealed it leads us to believe it’s going to be – as fellow Screen Rant writer Kofi Outlaw called it – a prequel, midquel and sequel.
However, despite those forward-thinking terms, it all seems like just talk, with no real confirmation of anything… »

'Sin City 2' to 'film in 2010'
30 October 2009 9:00 AM, PDT | Digitalspy | See recent digitalspy news »
Producer Stephen L'Heureux has revealed that filming on the Sin City sequel will begin in the latter half of 2010. L'Heureux said that the follow-up will be based on an original script by Frank Miller, while the first film was adapted from his graphic novels, Mania reports. He said: "As simple as Sin City seems, it's a very complex scheduling with all these actors and it's a very demanding shoot to be on a sound stage all day long. We have to space it for Frank. "There's also talk, of course, of Sin City 3." (more) »
