First Look: Robert Pattinson in ‘The Rover’

March 13, 2013 Admin No comments

robertpattinson-rover-031313 Robert Pattinson is trading in the werewolves and vampires for some adventure and the Outback in his latest movie The Rover!

The first image for the film was released today via EW and it looks like Robert has gotten himself into a sticky situation.

The Rover is set in the Australian desert in a dangerous and dysfunctional near future. Eric (Guy Pearce) has left everything and every semblance of human kindness behind him. When his last possession, his car, is stolen by a gang of dangerous criminals, Eric sets off to track them down and is forced along the way to enlist the help of Reynolds, the naive member of the gang left behind in the bloody chaos of the gang’s most recent escape.

Robert plays a denizen of the Outback in the near future, after a worldwide financial collapse has sent many like him running to the still viable mines of the Australian desert.

“The basic story is really quite elemental,” says director David Michôd. “You’ve got a really dark, dangerous, murderous person in Guy’s character, and in Rob’s character you have a quite troubled and damaged, but beautiful and naïve, soul.”

For more on The Rover, pick up the new issue of Entertainment Weekly on stands Friday.

thecompanyyoukeep-031213 Another movie that tops our list of our most anticipated movies of the year is the thriller The Company You Keep.

The movie stars Shia Labeouf and Anna Kendrick as well as Robert Redford, Julie Christie, Sam Elliott, Brendan Gleeson, Terrence Howard, Richard Jenkins, Brit Marling, Stanley Tucci, Nick Nolte, Chris Cooper and Susan Sarandon.

Jim Grant (Robert Redford) is a public interest lawyer and single father raising his daughter in the tranquil suburbs of Albany, New York. Grant’s world is turned upside down,when a brash young reporter named Ben Shepard (Shia LaBeouf) exposes his true identity as a former 1970s antiwar radical fugitive wanted for murder. After living for more than 30 years underground, Grant must now go on the run. With the FBI in hot pursuit, he sets off on a cross-country journey to track down the one person that can clear his name.

Shepard knows the significance of the national news story he has exposed and, for a journalist, this is an opportunity of a lifetime. Hell-bent on making a name for himself, he is willing to stop at nothing to capitalize on it. He digs deep into Grant’s past. Despite warnings from his editor and threats from the FBI, Shepard relentlessly tracks Grant across the country.

As Grant reopens old wounds and reconnects with former members of his antiwar group, the Weather Underground, Shepard realizes something about this man is just not adding up. With the FBI closing in, Shepard uncovers the shocking secrets Grant has been keeping for the past three decades. As Grant and Shepard come face to face in the wilderness of the Upper Peninsula of Michigan, they each must come to terms with who they really are.

Lily Collins and Michael Angarano: New ‘The English Teacher’ Stills

March 13, 2013 Admin No comments

lilycollins-theenglishteacher-031213 Michael Angarano reads over Lily Collins’ shoulder in this new still from The English Teacher.

The flick also stars Julianne Moore, Greg Kinnear, and Nathan Lane. Linda Sinclair (Julianne Moore) is a forty-year-old unmarried high school English teacher in the small town of Kingston, Pennsylvania. She shares a small apartment with two Siamese cats and her rich collection of great literature. She maintains no close personal relationships aside from those she has with her favorite authors and stories. Her life is far less complicated than the dramas she devours on the page, and she likes it that way.

But Linda’s simple life turns an unexpected page when former star pupil Jason Sherwood (Michael Angarano) returns to Kingston after trying to make it as a playwright in New York. Now in his 20s, Jason is on the verge of abandoning art, pressured by his overbearing father, Dr. Tom Sherwood (Greg Kinnear), to face reality and go to law school. Linda can’t stand the thought of Jason giving up on his dreams so she decides to mount his play – a dark, angst-ridden, ambitious work – as a Kingston High School production, with flamboyant drama teacher Carl Kapinas (Nathan Lane) directing.

As Linda, now well out of her normal comfort zone, takes further risks in life and love, the stage is set for highly comic downfall. With the play, her reputation, and her teaching career on the line, Linda finds an unlikely ally in herself. Amidst the ruins of her formerly perfect life, can she find a way to her own unique storybook ending?

The film opens on demand and digital platforms on April 16th and in theaters May 17th.

channing-rebel-031213 What happens when you put Rebel Wilson and Channing Tatum together? Awesomeness!

The duo teamed up for a hilarious promo video for the 2013 MTV Movie Awards which Rebel will be hosting. Channing has played all kinds of roles but we love seeing him as an action hero and that’s what we, sort of, get in the promo.

It looks like Channing and Rebel are trying to save the world and Rebel needs to get better position in the car in order to fire off a shot. Rebel, we would have picked that spot too!

Also, Rebel tweeted that she is trying to get the Pitch Perfect cast to reunite for a performance on stage and we NEED this to happen! We are still obsessed with that movie. She tweeted, “I’ve been talking to the Pitch Perfect cast about reuniting for a number at MTV Movie Awards..aca-let’s CRUSH IT.”

We can’t wait to see what else the funny Rebel Wilson has up her sleeves for the awards show which airs on Sunday, April 14 at 9pm on MTV.

springbreakers-panel-031113 After a big premiere at SXSW on Sunday, the cast of Spring Breakers sat down for a special Q&A on Monday.

Selena Gomez and Ashley Benson were joined by Rachel & Harmony Korine for the “Break It Down: Harmony Korine & His Spring Breakers” during the 2013 SXSW Music, Film + Interactive Festival at Austin Convention Center.

During the panel, the girls broke out in a little rendition of Britney Spears’ “Hit Me Baby One More Time.” It turned into a karaoke moment for Selena who nailed it!

Speaking of Selena & singing, it looks like she will now be a solo act on her upcoming album, no longer Selena Gomez & the Scene. Also, according to MTV Hot News, her new single “Better Without You” is set to release on March 18 and was co-written by none other than Taylor Swift. We have a feeling this will be a good breakup anthem!
