Photos of a topless Megan Fox taken from the supernatural romancer Passion Play have hit the web. Fox stars opposite Mickey Rourke, Kelly Lynch and Bill Murray in the film and plays a winged-beauty held captive as a circus sideshow.
The film, currently playing in selected theaters for a limited time, was publicly declared “terrible” by Rourke. Personally, I found that comment to be incredibly unfair and disrespectful to Fox’s breasts. But, you be the judge.
Passion Play is screenwriter Mitch Glazer’s (The Recruit, Scrooged) directorial debut. It arrives on DVD and Blu-ray on May 31.
Images from Spanish writer/director Antonio Trashorras’ El Callejon (renamed Blind Alley for gringo markets) have hit the web. The serial killer drama stars Cuban hottieAna de Armas as a woman trapped in a laundromat by a sadistic serial killer.
The official synopsis reads:
In a tiny laundrette hidden down an alleyway, is where Rosa finds herself trapped, completely isolated and unable to escape the nightmarish situation of being attacked by a serial killer. At the break of dawn and after hours of anguish, immersed in the sadistic game of rat and mouse the killer has subjected her to, the young girl will discover something even more disturbing about the nature of her aggressor.
The Spanish-language frightener is in the vein of such trapped-in-a-confined-space thrillers as Rodrigo Cortes’ Buried (coffin), Adam Green’s Frozen (ski-lift), newcomer David Brooks’ ATM (ATM terminal), and the M. Night Shyamalan produced Devil (elevator).
Trashorras recently scripted director Eugeno Mira’s psychological-thriller Agnosia. He also cowrote Guillermo Del Toro’s 2001 ghost story The Devil’s Backbone. Armas creds include the Spanish sci-fi drama Madrigal and the internationally popular TV mystery series “El Internado (The Boarding School).”
Some bald Hills Have Eyes looking mofo tweeted the above photograph of himself with actress Adrianne Palicki sporting the star-spangled booty shorts that NBC president Robert Greenblatt had promised horny viewers they’d see this fall on the David E. Kelly “Wonder Woman” reboot.
Unfortunately, the network passed on the pilot, leaving whatever Palicki ass-cheek footage was shot to be stored forever underneath Greenblatt’s mattress.
In the tweeted pic, Palicki looks like she could have been photoshopped from the waist down. But, regardless of whether the image is fake or not, your boner is real so … you’re welcome. Just do your best to mentally block old Pluto from your fantasies.
Australian actress Isabel Lucas, best known as the Decepticon with the dangerously long tongue and deliciously short skirt in Transformers 2, is set to join director Erik Van Looy’s men-behaving-badly psych-thriller Loft.
Loft, a remake of Looy’s 2008 Belgian thriller of the same name, is the story of five married men who together rent an apartment where they can each take their mistresses to bone. The plan is sheer genius and works wonderfully up until the point where one of the guys’ conquests is found dead.
Lucas will play a naive little plaything named Sarah. She joins a cast that includes Patrick Wilson (Insidious), James Marsden (Straw Dogs), Wentworth Miller (Resident Evil: Afterlife), Matthias Schoenaerts (Pulsar) and Eric Stonestreet (“Modern Family”).
Up next for Lucas are Relativity Media’s sword-and-sandal fantasy The Immortals and MGM’s long-delayed remake of the classic 1984 actioner Red Dawn. The 26-year-old shelia can also be seen in the 2009 Lionsgate vampire thriller Daybreakers.
Tom Cruise is now officially set to star in Universal Pictures’ live-action Wall-E remake Oblivion. Directed by Joseph Kosinski (Tron: Legacy), the film centers a lonely soldier (Cruise) left behind on an uninhabitable earth to do shit work. One day, a woman crash lands on the planet and they fall in love.
Oh, and there’s a roach.
What? Oblivion isn’t a live-action remake of Pixar’s Wall-E? Are you sure? OK, OK. Oblivion is a post apocalyptic sci-fi thriller that finds people living on clouds high above a destroyed earth. Cruise is a soldier left on our planet to fix drones that kill dangerous alien life forms. He meets a girl and rethinks his life.
Oblivion is budgeted at a cool $100 million. Cameras will begin to roll in October.
Disney’s Hollywood Studios held the grand opening today for its newly revamped Star Wars attraction Star Tours: The Adventure Continues. The festivities included appearances by George Lucas, Darth Vader, Jango and his son Boba Fett, Aurra Sing, Chewbacca, R2D2, C3PO, and some Disney character named Bob Iger.
The new Star Tours attraction is presented in 3-D and features 54 different simulations, among them trips to Tatooine, Coruscant, Hoth, Naboo, and an unfinished Death Star! Along the way, travelers may also encounter familiar faces such as Vader, Yoda, Boba Fett, Princess Leia, Admiral Ackbar, and Chewie.
Also cool: James Earl Jones, Frank Oz, and Carrie Fisher all recorded new dialogue for Vader, Yoda, and Leia respectively.
If you’re from Cali and can’t dig up enough druggats to buy a plane ticket to Orlando, FL, Star Tours: The Adventure Continues opens at Disneyland in Anaheim on June 3.
Argentine actress Mia Maestro (The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn) is set to star in Venezuelan director Eduardo Rodriguez’s abduction thriller The Darkness of the Road. The gorgeous 32-year-old will play a young single mom desperate to find her six-year-old daughter after losing her during a road trip.
The official synopsis reads:
A single mother named Siri (Maestro) and her daughter Eve pull over on a desolated road in a moonless desert. Everything seems to be going according to plan as they resume their trip toward a new home… But after meeting Iris, a young female hitchhiker, Siri realizes that her 6 year-old daughter has gone missing.
As the search for Eve develops, a merciless force begins to attack and torment the two women, unraveling a world of terror. Siri and Iris must survive this hellish nightmare if they are to discover the terrifying truth behind Eve’s disappearance…
Maestro has starred in such critically acclaimed fare as The Motorcycle Diaries and Frida, but is probably best known to us uncultured degenerates for starring in Wolfgang Petersen’s Poseidon and playing Sydney Bristow’s half-sister-turned-spy Nadia Santos on J.J. Abrams’ hit ABC show “Alias.”
She will next be seen as vegetarian vamp Carmen of the Denali Coven in the upcoming Twilight Saga chapters Breaking Dawn 1-&-2.
The Darkness of the Road will be distributed by Maya Entertainment, the same folks behind the psycho-bitch thriller Playing House starring the gorgeous Mayra Leal (Machete).
The CW has released a handful of promo images and a trailer to get folks pumped for the new Kevin Williamson-produced tween-friendly witch series “The Secret Circle.” The series stars Brittany Robertson (”Life Unexpected”) as a California teen named Cassie who discovers she’s a witch when she moves in with her grandmother.
Peep it:
The show’s synopsis reads:
Cassie Blake was a happy, normal teenage girl – until her mother Amelia dies in what appears to be a tragic accidental fire. Orphaned and deeply saddened, Cassie moves in with her warm and loving grandmother Jane in the beautiful small town of Chance Harbor, Washington – the town her mother left so many years before – where the residents seem to know more about Cassie than she does about herself.
As Cassie gets to know her high school classmates, including sweet-natured Diana and her handsome boyfriend Adam, brooding loner Nick, mean-girl Faye and her sidekick Melissa, strange and frightening things begin to happen.
When her new friends explain that they are all descended from powerful witches, and they’ve been waiting for Cassie to join them and complete a new generation of the Secret Circle, Cassie refuses to believe them – until Adam shows her how to unlock her incredible magical powers. But it’s not until Cassie discovers a message from her mother in an old leather-bound book of spells hidden in her mother’s childhood bedroom, that she understands her true and dangerous destiny.
What Cassie and the others don’t yet know is that darker powers are at play, powers that might be linked to the adults in the town, including Diana’s father and Faye’s mother – and that Cassie’s mother’s death might not have been an accident.
“The Secret Circle” is an adaptation of author L.J. Smith’s bestselling novel of the same name. Williamson, the creative force behind the Scream and I Know What You Did Last Summer films and the TV series “Dawson’s Creek” and “The Vampire Diaries,” penned the pilot and serves as executive producer.
Maggie Gyllenhaal (The Dark Knight) has landed the female lead in Voice From the Stone, director Eric Howell’s adaptation of Italian author Silvio Raffo’s 1996 novel “La Voce Della Pietra.”
Set in the Italian countryside, the film revolves around a nurse’s (Gyllenhaal) efforts to help the young son of the man she’s sweet on survive the evil spirits that haunt him.
Gyllenhaal played ill-fated Assistant D.A. Rachel Dawes in Christopher Nolan’s Batman sequel The Dark Knight and was cast as Donnie Darko’s sister in the 2001 cult classic. She is best known, however, for her role as emotionally damaged submissive Lee Holloway in the kink-fueled comedy Secretary.
