Amanda Seyfried Strips Down for LOVELACE Poster

by Dave Trumbore    Posted: May 1st, 2012 at 7:26 pm

It’s been a little while since we had a porn star update, so here’s a new poster featuring Linda Lovelace.  Technically, it’s Amanda Seyfried portraying Linda Lovelace in this new poster for the indie biopic, Lovelace.  Splitting hairs.  It’s not as provocative as you might expect, but I’m reserving some hope that, as the movie gets closer to release (unexpected pun!), the material gets more and more risque.  If that wasn’t the plan, it’s something the Lovelace marketing team might want to consider.

Then again, it’s not all about the sex appeal, since a good portion of Lovelace deals with the abusive relationship between the porn star and her husband, Chuck Traynor (Peter Sarsgaard).  You can take a look at previously released images, set photos and posters here.  Lovelace also stars Sharon Stone, Adam Brody, Chloe Sevigny, Juno Temple, Sarah Jessica Parker, Chris Noth, Robert Patrick, and James Franco.  Hit the jump to see the new poster.

Set Photos Featuring Anne Hathaway and Hugh Jackman in LES MISERABLES

by Dave Trumbore    Posted: April 19th, 2012 at 4:39 pm

If you love Anne Hathaway for her long, flowing locks, you might want to look away.  Hathaway chopped off a good chunk of her hair to play factory worker Fantine in Tom Hooper’s adaptation of Les Miserables.  We’ve got set photos of her singing alongside Hugh Jackman, who stars as Jean Valjean.  Jackman has certainly cleaned himself up compared to prior photos; we also previously posted shots of Russell Crowe as Javert and Eddie Redmayne as Marius.  This appears to be the first look at a dramatically gaunt Hathaway and, for those who aren’t familiar with the story, is certainly an appropriate look for her character’s arc throughout the film.  Les Miserables also stars Amanda Seyfried, Sacha Baron Cohen, Aaron Tveit, Samantha Barks, Helena Bonham Carter, and opens December 14th.  Hit the jump to see the set photos.

IN TIME Blu-ray Review

by Scott Wampler    Posted: March 9th, 2012 at 6:30 am

Over the years, Andrew Niccol has proven himself to be a more-than-capable director of commercially risky films interested in the idea of “identity”.  More of than not, these are sci-fi films (in the cases of Gattaca and S1m0ne), but sometimes they’re borderline dark-comedies (as in The Truman Show and The Terminal) and sometimes they’re just the second-best thing Nic Cage has done in ten years (Lord of War).  Niccol’s latest film—In Time—seeks to turn Justin Timberlake into the star of an action/sci-fi hybrid.  Does he pull it off?  Should you pick up In Time on Blu-ray?  Find out after the jump, folks.

Amanda Seyfried Talks GONE and LES MISERABLES

by Tommy Cook    Posted: February 21st, 2012 at 5:50 pm

In the curtly titled Gone, Amanda Seyfried stars as Jill, a pill-popping, suicidal chronic liar whose sister may or may not have been kidnapped by the same mystery-man that abducted Seyfried (or did he?) two years prior. The lack of conviction in the previous sentence could be due to any of the aforementioned pill-abusing/emotionally unstable/duplicitous attribute(s) of the character.  But Seyfried/Jill sure does seem convinced that something terrible is afoot. It honestly doesn’t matter if Jill’s right/wrong/crazy/lying/all-of-the-above — because you can’t help but want her to be true. Reality doesn’t matter, only conviction.

In the following interview, Amanda Seyfried discusses the morally grey nature of Jill and the difficulties in playing a scene all by your lonesome. Seyfried was also more than excited to discuss Tom Hooper’s Les Misérables – in particular the live recordings for the musical. Gone opens everywhere this Friday.

The indie biopic Lovelace is currently in production, but we’ve already seen a number of set photos and images from the Linda Lovelace pic. The film stars Amanda Seyfried as the titular porn star who rose to prominence following 1972’s Deep Throat. Lovelace would eventually go on to claim that her husband (played by Peter Sarsgaard) physically and verbally abused her and coerced her into the pornography business. Howl directors Rob Epstein and Jeffrey Friedman are behind Lovelace, and the film was recently profiled in a piece in the New York Times. Included in the piece are a couple of new images, as well as a poster for Deep Throat featuring Seyfried.

by Adam Chitwood    Posted: January 6th, 2012 at 1:45 pm

While the battle of the two Linda Lovelace biopics continues, Rob Epstein and Jeffrey Friedman’s (Howl) Lovelace keeps looking better and better. They’ve got a stellar ensemble cast that includes Amanda Seyfried, Peter Sarsgard, Juno Temple, Wes Bently, Sharon Stone, Adam Brody, Demi Moore, and possibly James Franco, and now we’ve got our first look at Seyfried and Sarsgard in character. Seyfried plays the titular Lovelace in the biopic that follows the actress through the production of Deep Throat and her abusive relationship with her husband, Chuck Traynor (played by Sarsgard). The two look pretty great/adorable pre-abusiveness, and Sarsgard is rocking that porn star facial hair.

Amanda Seyfried and Taylor Swift Offered Roles of Cosette and Eponine in LES MISERABLES [Updated]

by Dave Trumbore    Posted: January 3rd, 2012 at 7:46 pm

With recent word that director Tom Hooper (The King’s Speech) would be recording live vocals from his actors rather than pre-recording them, it made sense to pad his line-up with actors who possessed some singing talent. Or singers who possessed some acting talent. Well, in this case, he’s done both, as Amanda Seyfried (In Time) and Taylor Swift (Valentine’s Day) have been offered roles in the cinematic musical, Les Miserables. Seyfried has been offered the role of Cosette, a part in which her operatic background should come in handy. Country singer Swift has been offered the role of Eponine, having beaten out such actresses as Lea Michele (Glee), Scarlett Johansson (We Bought a Zoo) and Evan Rachel Wood (The Ides of March). Hit the jump for more on Les Miserables. [Update: Deadline reports Seyfried has signed on to play Cosette]

First Trailer for Thriller GONE Starring Amanda Seyfried

by Adam Chitwood    Posted: November 17th, 2011 at 4:59 pm

The first trailer for the thriller Gone has been released. The film stars Amanda Seyfried as a young woman who suspects that her missing sister has been abducted by the same serial killer who kidnapped her two years prior. The trailer’s actually not bad, as it sets up the movie almost as a revenge flick with the authorities refusing to believe Seyfried’s story. The young woman decides to set out on her own to track down the killer in order to free her sister. The pic looks like it could be a pretty intense little thriller in the vein of Minority Report.

Hit the jump to watch the trailer. The film also stars Jennifer Carpenter, Wes Bently, and Sebastian Stan. Gone opens February 24th, 2012.
