Brendan Gleeson & Don Cheadle Interview For ‘The Guard’
Jul 29th
‘The Guard’ is a hilarious, fish out of water tale of murder, blackmail, drug trafficking and rural police corruption. Sergeant Gerry Boyle (Brendan Gleeson) is a small-town cop with a confrontational personality, a subversive sense of humour, a dying mother, a fondness for prostitutes, and absolutely no interest whatsoever in the international cocaine-smuggling ring that has brought FBI agent Wendell Everett (Don Cheadle) to his door. However, despite the fact that Boyle seems more interested in mocking and undermining Everett than in actively working to solve the case, he finds that circumstances keep pulling him back into the thick of it.
First his tiresomely enthusiastic new partner McBride disappears, then his favourite hooker attempts to blackmail him into turning a blind eye, and finally the drug-traffickers themselves try to buy him off as they have every other member of the local police force. These events unwittingly offend Boyle’s murky moral code. He realises that he needs to take matters into his own hands, and the only person he can trust is Everett. And so the scene is set for an explosive finale. Directed and written by John Michael McDonagh, ‘The Guard’ is out now in the US, it opens in UK cinemas August 10th.
The character you play, he certainly has a strong sense of justice, what stood out about him for you?
Don Cheadle: I love that he gets over there and he sort of gets the piss taken out of him, he’s knocked down a couple pegs. It’s funny to see that he gets over there and he doesn’t know who the people are, he doesn’t know much about them, he isn’t very interested at all, he’s just trying to follow his case. Then he runs into somebody who he cannot get around, not only who he cannot get around, but actually someone who has more information than anyone over there – and he knows it better than my character knows it. So there’s an affinity on that level. But they’re completely opposite, antithetical to one another.
Julia Roberts Interview For Tom Hanks’ ‘Larry Crowne’
Jun 22nd
In the dramatic comedy ‘Larry Crowne,’ Julia Roberts stars alongside a stellar cast in Tom Hanks (who also directs), Taraji P. Henson, Cedric the Entertainer , Bryan Cranston, Gugu Mbatha Raw, Wilmer Valderrama, Pam Grier, Rami Malek, George Takei, Grace Gummer, Rita Wilson and Jon Seda. The story follows Larry Crowne (Hanks), a middle-aged man who after losing his job reinvents himself by going back to college. ‘Larry Crowne’ is set for release July 1st. Check out what Julia Roberts had to say about the film below.
How was it like working opposite someone like Tom Hanks, as both a director and co-star?
Julia Roberts: We’re kind of similar, I’m not as smart as him (laughs), but I have better hair! It was great, we both believe working should be fun, and I think we both believe in a responsibility to create that idea for everybody else. It is funny with him directing, it’s amazing the amount of energy he’s emitting in a day. He must just go home and fall into unconscious sense of sleep. He really does go 100% in each department. All day long he’s happy, he’s buoyant, he’s present. It’s kind of mind-boggling (laughs). This is only his second time directing, he really has it down how he can shape shift between one place to another, it’s pretty impressive.
Paul Walker Interview For ‘Fast Five’
Apr 26th
Vin Diesel and Paul Walker lead a reunion of returning all-stars from every chapter of the explosive franchise built on speed in Fast Five. In this fifth installment, former cop Brian O’Conner (Paul Walker) partners with ex-con Dom Toretto (Vin Diesel) on the opposite side of the law. Dwayne Johnson joins returning favorites Jordana Brewster, Chris “Ludacris” Bridges, Tyrese Gibson, Sung Kang, Gal Gadot, Matt Schulze, Tego Calderon and Don Omar for this ultimate high-stakes race. Check out what Paul Walker had to say about the film below. ‘Fast Five’ is out in UK cinemas now, it’s set for release April 29th in the US.
Tell us a little about Brian, he’s on the same side as Dom now.
Paul Walker: Basically we’re running for our lives, it’s the only way to make things work. The funny thing about the whole deal is that Brian’s been a cop for a while, he’s been this so called “good guy”, and now here he is running for his life, trying to keep out of jail and harms way. Even with this the guys happier than he’s ever been, he’s living more free and far more looser. He’s with the people he loves, he’s with the guy he see’s as a brother/maybe even father figure – because he never had that. He’s also with the girl of his dreams, he’s floating in the midst of all this crazy stuff going, he’s on cloud 9, he’s in a very happy place. With Brian and Dom it’s not much unlike Vin and I, we get along and I think there’s this mutual respect and fascination with one another.
Vin Diesel Interview For ‘Fast Five’
Apr 21st
If you like some adrenaline filled action, car racing shenanigans and manly scowls I’m pretty sure ’Fast Five’ will be your cup of tea. The film stars the likes of Paul Walker, Vin Diesel, Jordana Brewster, Ludacris, Tyrese Gibson and Dwayne Johnson. ‘Fast Five’ is released in cinemas April 29th in the US, and is out now in the UK. Check out what Vin Diesel had to say about the film below.
In the film you’ve got to assemble a team, a lot is at stake. Talk about bringing everyone back to assemble this team?
Vin Diesel: There was never a more appropriate time. We started this leg of the trilogy with Fast & Furious, the fourth instalment. The studio, I, Justin, we were all kind of dreaming at first that we could create a new trilogy, we started it with ‘Fast & Furious’ in 2009. This film however has a sombre element to it, we wanted to do a 180, bring in all these elements of levity and make it super fun, we did that by bringing back the whole cast and having them all work together as one family, one team.

Tell us a little about your character, you’re a super-human bounty hunter from hell, what is your job?
Dwayne Johnson: (Laughs) My job is to find these individuals, whoever they are, my name comes across my desk, I find them, I hunt them and I bring them in. That’s it, that’s my characters job, they can come in dead or alive, that’s up to them (laughs).
New Prince Of Persia Trailer
Mar 2nd
Disney have got a very big year in films in 2010 with Alice In Wonderland, Toy Story 3, The Sorcerer’s Apprentice, Tron Legacy and this. I’m slowly warming to this the more that I see from it, I’ve always liked Jake Gylanhaal, it’s good to see him do something more action packed, from the trailer he looks like he spends much of the movie jumping around like coked up Kangaroo(nothing wrong with that!). I’m also looking forward to it for Toby Kebbell and Gemma Arterton two of the UK’s best young talents. They should have cast a few more Persians though it looks like a bunch of English people wearing eye liner and dyed black hair, its the 21st century now I should think films can be a bit more realistic. Look’s like a lot of fun though.
From the team that brought the “Pirates of the Caribbean” trilogy to the big screen, Walt Disney Pictures and Jerry Bruckheimer Films present PRINCE OF PERSIA: THE SANDS OF TIME, an epic action-adventure set in the mystical lands of Persia. A rogue prince (JAKE GYLLENHAAL) reluctantly joins forces with a mysterious princess (GEMMA ARTERTON) and together, they race against dark forces to safeguard an ancient dagger capable of releasing the Sands of Time—a gift from the gods that can reverse time and allow its possessor to rule the world.
