Film and Theatre Lover!
YAY I really hope that it is true 🙂 Mickey !!!
Mickey Rourke and Scarlett Johansson have been officially confirmed for the Iron Man sequel – by the film’s star, Robert Downey, Jr.
After weeks of speculation, Downey, Jr. reveals the pair will play villains in the film.
He says, “They are both cast and doing Iron Man 2. Garry Shandling is in the film. Of course we have Don Cheadle. We have Sam Jackson. We have Sam Rockwell. And we, of course, have, my dearest heart, Gwyneth Paltrow.”
Everyone just has to love Samuel L Jackson and I dont think it would matter if he was a little grumpy on set.
Veteran actor Samuel L. Jackson has embraced turning 60 years old – because he can now be a grumpy old man on film sets.
The Pulp Fiction star has showed little sign of slowing down his movie career since hitting the landmark age in December.
But his committed work ethic often leaves him disappointed with younger colleagues who refuse to toil as hard as he does.
Jackson says, “See, I have this unreasonable expectation that everyone is going to be as prepared as I am when I show up for work. I’m becoming more unreasonable as I grow older.”
And he insists it is inexperienced filmmakers who annoy him most, adding: “Most times the actors know what they’ve got to do; it’s young directors from the video world who drive me crazy. I know the shots will probably be used as DVD extras. But when I say this, the young guys stare at me like I’m being evil.”
I am glad that Cate Blanchett has the part, I think she is a fantastic actress.
Sienna Miller lost the chance to play Robin Hood‘s sweetheart in Ridley Scott‘s new Medieval epic – because she’s too young.
The actress had been attached to The Sheriff of Nottingham for over a year but when the project went through a rewrite, it quickly became clear she was no longer the right fit – and Cate Blanchett became the new leading lady.
Miller tells WENN, “The script has been evolving and changing and it often happens in films. They’ve been trying to make this for a couple of years and they rewrote the script and they needed someone who was older.
“There’s a husband who has been away at war for 10 years and he comes back, so it’s just not feasible for me to play her. Cate Blanchett is doing it.”
Miller insists there have been many other cast changes – but the media refuses to focus on them.
She adds, “The media doesn’t have to make quite as much a meal of it as they do when it happens to me. I’m sure it will be a wonderful project but this is not an absolutely shocking thing to happen in the movie industry when scripts evolve and casts change.
“Other people have changed in that cast, but the media just won’t document it. I would obviously love to work with Ridley and still I hope to in the future.”
Ok, so since I am currently living in the USA. I dont have access to my DVDs or even watching good old Sky Movies. So I have started looking at iTunes for the cheap movies of the week. To which I bought Rocky 4.
I also bought Field of Dreams, which I have not seen yet . . . so watch this space for a review coming very soon. Love a bit of Kevin Costner.
I so must search for a clip of this later !!!
Mickey Rourke made good on his promise to go head-to-head with wrestler Chris Jericho when he stepped into the ring to deliver a smackdown on Sunday.
The actor has been locked in a bitter and public war of words with Jericho since January, when he announced his plans to spar with the grappler at the WWE’s Wrestlemania 25 at Reliant Stadium in Houston, Texas.
Jericho then hit back, telling Rourke: “I don’t have respect for you… Be careful what you wish for, Mr. Rourke.”
But Rourke was subsequently forced to bow out of the bout, citing the revival of his acting career as his main priority.
He repeated this sentiment to reporters hours before the event on Sunday, explaining: “Contractually, because I’m doing this movie called Iron Man 2 now, I can’t get in the ring with (Jericho).”
Sitting in the audience, Rourke watched as Jericho defeated three other professional wrestlers, before taunting and challenging the actor to a showdown.
But Rourke then stunned fans as he stepped up to the ring to settle the feud with his nemesis once and for all.
Removing his cowboy hat, Rourke clambered over the guard ropes and landed a punch that left Jericho reeling.
He was then joined by wrestling legend Ric Flair to celebrate his victory.
Rourke won a string of awards for his performance as Randy ‘The Ram’ Robinson in The Wrestler, but he missed out on a first Best Actor Oscar when he was beaten by pal Sean Penn.
Awww I hope this is not true . . . it makes me sad. I love a bit of Aragorn . . . and Viggo !!!
Viggo Mortensen has vowed to give up making movies – because promoting them leaves him exhausted.
The 50 year old has starred in numerous films and TV shows since launching his acting career in 1985, most notably as Aragorn in the Lord of the Rings franchise.
But the star insists the gruelling promotional schedule for each new release is leaving him shattered – and it’s spurred him on to quit the industry.
Mortensen tells Britain’s The Times newspaper, “In the past week I’ve been from L.A. to Japan to Korea to Poland to here. It’s ridiculous! It’s not a healthy way to be. But, as it happens, I’m taking measures to change that.
“No more movies. I haven’t said yes to one in over a year. I’ve been in all these well-received movies and it seems like I should be doing some more, but there’s other things I want to do. It’s not the right time.
“If it all dries up now, I’ve had a good run.”
When a grieving doctor was contacted by his dead wife after one of his patients has a near death experience, he starts to wonder what exactly happened to her.

Long time since last Mickey picture post, and what better way to do it again, than a picture of Mickey with Richard Gere 🙂
So I had seen the trailer for this movie a few times, but other than the prediction for the end of the world and all the events which a lot of people died the dates had been written down for hence the whole end of the world . . . as guess what??? The numbers ran out . . .
