The stars of National Treasure: Book of Secrets were all out in NYC last night to show off their anticipated sequel. Diane Kruger, one of Fab's favorite red carpet girls of 2007 took advantage of the big night with not one, but two fancy dresses and one very, very dapper looking Josh Jackson on her arm. He is such a cutie. I'm really hoping that the writers' strike doesn't mean that we'll never get to see him on Grey's. Josh wasn't the only well dressed gentleman at the event — Nic Cage, Jon Voight and Ed Harris were all looking pretty great for the premiere. Little Abigail Breslin was out for the screening, too, and lucky for the 11-year-old the movie is PG. What do you think, holiday guilty pleasure movie or no, no, no?
2007 may go down as the year that Casey Affleck became more than primarily Ben's younger brother. Which isn't to say that he hasn't been the highlight of movies or hasn't been some people's favorite Affleck from the start, but with starring roles (and rave reviews) for both The Assassination of Jesse James by the Coward Robert Ford and Gone Baby Gone, Casey is bigger than ever. Oh, um, and hotter, hotter than ever, too. Both of these points are evidenced by his recent photoshoot for Flaunt Magazine. The interview is hilarious (he says what excites him are, "People...with plastic surgery.") and endearing. And as for the pictures — did I mention he's smoking hot? Here are highlights:
On his level of fame: "I never get recognized. When I've had a hard day, people give me change on the street."
On working with his brother: "It was like working with someone you'd done a thousand films with. Like figuring out who's gonna set the dinner table or something. Ben took to directing really well. He's a natural leader. People almost always like him within the first two minutes of meeting him. And he learns really, really fast...To see [Morgan Freeman and Ed Harris] look to Ben for direction was really impressive....Ben made me jump off a 60-foot cliff into a quarry full of 500-year-old black water, old shoes, car fenders, and corpses. Twice. Then he cut it out of the movie."
On his "leading man" status: "If being a 'leading man' has some significance beyond [getting to be in more scenes], then I am not exactly that. I don't think I have the qualities that people call 'leading man.' I don't think I have them because I am not even sure what they are. And that's OK with me because I have been able to play a few 'leading man' parts while not myself possessing these 'leading man' qualities, then I have achieved something...I would rather be a round peg in a square hole than a square peg in a round hole. The latter is stuck while the former can pop in and out and go back and forth and do it all. I want to have a peg that can change shape and get in as many holes as possible."
I think this article and photoshoot catapulted him into the top of my list. Love him (and naturally, extra points for Red Sox fans) — both Affleck boys are better than ever these days. Though methinks come this award season Casey might have a harder and harder time walking down the street without getting recognized.
ED Harris, of "Apollo 13" fame, threw "a hissy fit" at Heathrow Airport when he was asked to empty his pockets. The London Sun reports Harris threw his keys, wallet and change around at a security checkpoint. The actor then "was held for hours by...
Nicolas Cage and Diane Kruger have teamed up once again to shoot National Treasure: Book of Secrets in London. Diane looks pretty adorable in these pics even though we'd rather see her on the arm of cute Josh. The original NT was surprisingly entertaining and since sequels seem to be all the rage these days it makes sense that the studio would bet on another treasure hunt with this cast. This time, Nic and Diane are on a quest to unlock the mystery behind Abraham Lincoln's assassination. Sounds interesting, but we'd rather get our adventure fix from Indiana Jones 4.
Veteran actor Ed Harris refuses to read his reviews, because he still remembers the negative critical reaction to a theatre performance he gave 30 years ago. Harris, best known for his roles in movies such as Pollock, The Rock and A History Of Violence, is returning to the Los Angeles stage in Neil LaBute play Wrecks.[...] Read more!
From here on out, Paul Newman will just be known as the salad dressing guy.
The Oscar-winning actor, who turned 82 in January, said during an interview on "Good Morning America" Thursday that, after 50 years in front of the camera, he's calling it a career.
"I'm not able to work anymore as an actor at the level I would want to," Newman, who won the Golden Globe for Most Promising Newcomer in 1957, told GMA. "You start to lose your memory, your confidence, your invention. So that's pretty much a closed book for me. I've been doing it for 50 years. That's enough."
While the announcement should come as a disappointment for Newman fans everywhere, the iconic performer from Shaker Heights, Ohio, is going out on top, having just picked up an Emmy, a Golden Globe and a Screen Actors Guild Award last year for his supporting role as Ed Harris' eccentric coot of a father in the HBO miniseries "Empire Falls."
Playwright and filmmaker Neil LaBute has earned a reputation for writing characters who are selfish, mean, misanthropic and misogynistic. His films include In the Company of Men and Your Friends & Neighbors. His plays include "The Mercy Seat", "Some Girls" and "Fat Pig". The New Yorker's John Lahr says his plays are "complex and unnerving," and that "there's no playwright on the planet who is writing better." "Wrecks" is LaBute's new one-man play starring Ed Harris. It opened last night at the Public Theatre in New York.
Actor Ed Harris plays Ludwig van Beethoven in the new film Copying Beethoven, and he's also starring in the new play Wrecks, written and directed by Neil LaBute. The play is set to begin previews at New York's Public Theater on September 26 and open on Oct. 10.
