Abbie Cornish Reviews, Interviews & More
The remake of Robocop keeps rolling forward, despite casting changes, rampant rumors of a director in over his head, and an utterly underwhelming robotic body that basically looks like Christian Bale’s batsuit with Judge Dredd’s helmet attached. But hey, now he has a motorcycle! You’ve just gotta see it!
Who knew dognapping could be so deadly? In Seven Psychopaths, writer-director Martin McDonagh tells a twisted tale of murder, revenge and eventual redemption. On paper, it sounds like a hardcore crime drama. But it's actually a hilarious commentary on violence and a push for pacifism.
José Padilha’s RoboCop remake isn’t exactly having its best month—coming on the heels the script leaking to an entertainment writer who publically bashed the apparently terrible reboot is the news that Hugh Laurie will not be playing the film’s Big Bad after all. Laurie had entered negotiations for the role back in June; however, it appears he will not be...
If you've been wondering why Hollywood showed a renewed interest in Colin Farrell recently, it's all because of his turn in Martin McDonagh’s 2008 film In Bruges. And if Fright Night and Total Recall disappointed, the good news is that Farrell is playing the lead in McDonagh's...
The modern remake or reboot: typically, it’s a film with rather low expectations attached. Most (but not all) modern remakes are of the clunker variety—lifting the basic plot points of the original, but often with little to no translation of the subtext, chemistry, or intelligence that made the original film so popular in the first place. And while no one seems to be expecting the...
After eight seasons of playing the stubborn, mean and selfish (yet utterly brilliant) genius that is Dr Gregory House, one might wonder what’s next on the cards for star Hugh Laurie. Well, now we’ve got the answer – he’ll be making a turn as an evil villain in José Padilha‘s upcoming remake for MGM of Paul Verhoeven‘s 1987 sci-fi...
The casting for Jose Padilha's remake of Robocop keeps pouring in. After Gary Oldman and Samuel L. Jackson joined the cast, it's now looking like Abbie Cornish will be playing the wife of Alex Murphy (Joel Kinnaman), who is killed and then transformed into the half-man, half-machine and all cop.
This week director Zack Snyder's bad-ass, chick-action-flick, Sucker Punch hits theaters with a bang. Snyder described the film as "Alice In Wonderland with machine guns” and there definitely is an aspect of that to the film. This is a dark, imaginative film that journey's into the mind a young girl who needs to escape -- but unlike Alice, Babyboll has a lot bigger...
This week in theater, the two gorgeous, bad-ass, blondies, Emily Browning and Abbie Cornish will be leading the way and battling their demons (literally) in Zack Snyder's (read interview) latest action-adventure, Sucker Punch. In a film filled with women, you'd expect there to be some cattiness, but not with these fine ladies, there was more likely to be group wolf...
Get ready to go on a drug binge this weekend with director Neil Burger's adaptation of the Alan Glynn novel, Limitless starring Bradley Cooper as a drugged up NZT addict. I received an NZT pill a while ago with a key containing an ad with Bradley Cooper selling NZT -- I have yet to try it, but if the experience is anything like it is in the film, it could be fun! Find...
Warner Bros has just released a set of five posters that highlight the kick-ass characters in Zack Snyder's Sucker Punch. The female driven action flick is led by a group of up and comers as well as some veterans and you've never seen them like this before. Check out the character posters below...
Last week a viral video starring Bradley Cooper surfaced, and it featured the actor pushing a super pill called NZT. In actuality, it was a promotion for his latest film entitled Limitless, which centers on a man who reaches his fullest mental and social potential thanks to the drug. An official trailer has been released for the film that shows us that having it all...
Noomi Rapace continues her invasion of Hollywood with another potential project. A few weeks ago we learned that she was cast as the female lead in Guy Ritchie's Sherlock Holmes 2, now there's word that she might be in the running for Ridley Scott's upcoming Alien prequel. The last time we checked Gemma Arterton was...
It's here! After giving you a sneak peek at the first trailer for Warner Bros' Sucker Punch, the footage has been released online. It's popped up on Apple Trailers and it has all the ass-kicking, gun-shooting, fighter-plane action that you could ask for. The film is directed by Zack Snyder and has been described as Alice in Wonderland with...
All this week photos from some of the biggest movies of 2011 have found their way onto the net. Yesterday, we saw the first images of Green Lantern, and new photos from Marvel's Thor, and today we get a sneak peek at the kick-ass girls from Zack Snyder's action flick, Sucker Punch. The female dominated film is just...
In Hollywood, a good actress is usually defined by awards and/or more work. In the case of Abbie Cornish, it's the latter. Variety reports that the Australian actress has landed two roles -- one in Neil Burger's The Dark Fields; the other in W.E., Madonna's new directing vehicle.
Vanity Fair has released the cover of their annual Hollywood issue and it features several actresses who are described as the "fresh faces" of the new decade. Too bad the majority of them have been around for years, but main stream media is just now catching on to them. Kristen Stewart and Evan Rachel Wood lead the pack of nine that headline the...
An official selection of the Cannes Film Festival, writer/director Jane Campion presents Bright Star - starring Abbie Cornish and Ben Wishaw. While the film is noted as a portrait of both love AND loss - I am partial to the latter adjective.
Over a Collider they just released a ton of photos from films that will be premiering over at the Toronto Film Festival. The first batch of photos that we are posting are from two upcoming period pieces. The first is Creation starring Paul Bettany as Charles Darwin and Jennifer Connelly as his religious and yet faithful wife. The second is Bright...
