Kate Bosworth will soon be seen as tormented housewife Amy Sumner in Sony Screen Gems’ upcoming remake of iconic filmmaker Sam Peckinpah’s controversial 1971 home-invasion thriller Straw Dogs. The 28-year-old starlet recently spoke to Black Book magazine about the film and its strokeworthy harrowing rape scene with Alexander Skarsgård.
I told Alex not to worry about me, to just go for it. I said, I need you to lose yourself in this moment. And it was actually violent. He’s a huge guy.
When he was ripping off my clothes in front of a room filled with men, even though I knew it was make-believe, it was still incredibly violating and terrifying. The panic you see flooding me in that rape scene is real.
The Straw Dogs remake is directed by Rob Lurie (The Last Castle) and finds Amy Sumner, a fading Hollywood actress, and her scrawny screenwriter husband (James Marsden) moving down South where they discover that Amy’s hillbilly ex (Skarsgård) longs to reconnect with her vagina.
The film forces its way into theaters on Sept. 16.
Photos of model and sometime-actress Sophie Monk wearing a sexy, skintight Catwoman costume have hit the net. I have no idea what the pics are for or from, but you can thank Yahweh for them when you lay yourselves to sleep, which I’m guessing will be within the next 90 seconds.
Shark Night 3-D opened today. I have no idea if it’s any good, but last week’s Rogue Pictures’ Swimming with Sharks Pool Party sure looked like fun. The event, held at the Hotel Shangri-La in Santa Monica, California, reeled in stars Sara Paxton, Alyssa Diaz, Dustin Milligan, Sinqua Walls and Chris Carmack.
Also making a splash at the shindig were dancer-turned actress Keltie Colleen (Footloose) and “Bachelor” contestants Natalie Getz,Vienna Girardi, Erica Rose, Deanna Pappas and Melissa Schreiber (single girls gotta eat too).
Marilyn Manson has released a music video for his new single “Born Villain.” The most shocking thing about it? It’s directed by Hollywood ass-hat Shia LaBeouf … and there’s a vagina with an eyeball. There’s also boobies and body suspension and some cheesy Shakespeare readings—which I’m sure will conjure up English Lit nightmares for us all.
“Born Villain” is the title track to Manson’s upcoming eighth studio album.
“In Plain Sight” starlet Rachel Boston is the latest addition to writer, director, and actor Todd Berger’s upcoming horror-comedy It’s a Disaster. The 29-year-old joins a cast that includes Berger, America Ferrera (“Ugly Betty”), Julia Stiles (“Dexter”), Kevin M. Brennan (The Lake House), Jeff Grace (Scenesters), Blaise Miller (Scenesters) and Laura Adkin.
The film follows four couples who, while meeting for a Sunday brunch during holiday, discover that the end of the world is upon them. Boston, best known for her recurring role as detective Abigail Chaffee on the USA network’s “In Plain Sight” and as Beth Mason on NBC’s 2002 dramedy “American Dreams,” will play a wily wild-child named Lexi Kivel.
It’s a Disaster starts filming next month in Los Angeles.
G4TV has released video of “Attack of the Show” cohost—and former Playboy Playmate—Sara Jean Underwood making the rounds at this year’s Anime Expo, held in July at the Los Angeles Convention Center.
Underwood, a cosplay freak, attended the event as Lum the Invader from the manga series Urusei Yatsura. If that doesn’t make you squeal like a 12-year-old Japanese boy, then you obviously don’t know what the costume looks like.
Sure, the curvy 21-year-old stunner is covered head to toe in blue paint, but that jiggle sure as hell ain’t movie effects. With X-Men: First Class set to arrive on home-video on Sept 9, Twentieth Century Fox has leaked footage of Lawrence undergoing the makeup process that transformed her into a young and naked Mystique.
It’s all presented in a very professional and artistic manner, but—let’s face it—this isn’t exactly Andy Serkis running around in a motion capture suit. It amazes me that no one comments on the two big blue elephants in the room. How refreshing would it have been to hear someone say, “Dayum, that bitch got sum big ole titties under that slop.”
Jordana Spiro is the latest guest star to join season six of Showtime’s award-winning serial killer drama “Dexter.” The pretty 34-year-old will play a religious cult member under the spell of its homicidal leader (Edward James Olmos).
The synopsis for the show’s new season reads:
Dexter Morgan spent Season Five atoning for the death of his wife, Rita. He committed to being a part of her children’s lives and entered into a deep, passionate relationship with Lumen, unlike anything he’d ever had before.
But Dexter’s need to kill overpowers his desire for human connection. And now that one person knows the truth about him, and a few others are close, how much longer will America’s favorite serial killer be able to keep his dark side a secret?
Spiro’s genre creds include an episode of “Buffy the Vampire Slayer” and a starring role in the From Dusk Till Dawn home-video sequel From Dusk Till Dawn 3: The Hangman’s Daughter. She will next be seen opposite Nicolas Cage and Nicole Kidman in director Joel Schumacher’s home-invasion thriller Trespass.
Burlesque model-and-performer Dita Von Teese is set to star opposite Paz de la Huerta (“Boardwalk Empire”) and Katrina Bowden (“30 Rock”) in Lionsgate’s exciting new psycho-sexual slasher Nurse 3-D. The shapely 38-year-old will play a nightclub performer who most likely wears old lady lingerie like the kind you found in your mom’s dresser drawer (btw, she knows).
The film centers on a beautiful, but bat-shit crazy, nurse named Abby Russell (Huerta) who seduces and murders men she deems as being wicked. Things get complicated for Abby, however, when a young nurse (Bowden) grows suspicious about of her behavior.
Nurse 3-D is directed by Douglas Aarniokoski (The Day) and costars Corbin Bleu (High School Musical), Boris Kodjoe (Resident Evil: Afterlife) and Adam Herschman (Bucky Larson). The film shoots this month in Toronto.
(UPDATE: DITA IS NOT IN THE MOVIE. BREAK THE NEWS GENTLY TO YOUR PENIS)
Josh Brolin has scored the lead in Spike Lee’s American remake of South Korean director Park Chan-wook’s revenge thriller Oldboy. Written by Mark Protosevich (I Am Legend), the Mandate Pictures and Vertigo Entertainment production will roll camera next March.
Oldboy tells the tale of a man (Brolin) who is abducted and held captive in a crappy hotel room for 15 years for no apparent reason. When he is finally released, he sets out to find and take vengeance on the people who ruined his life.
Oldboy is one of those films that people keep telling me I have to see, but that I keep pushing down my Netflix queue in favor of English-speaking movies—even those starring Nic Cage. Needless-to-say, I’m thrilled this is happening.
Brolin just wrapped Barry Sonnenfeld’s Men in Black 3. His previous genre creds include Robert Rodriguez’s Planet Terror, Guillermo Del Toro’sMimic, Paul Verhoeven’s Hollow Man, and last year’s unfortunate misstep Jonah Hex.
