ANTHONY HOPKINS Reviews, Interviews & More
If we have any enthusiasm for this summer's Red 2, it's not because of the first film (which was passably entertaining), but because it's directed by Dean Parisot. If that name doesn't ring a bell, he was the director behind Galaxy Quest, which is one of the best films of the last fifteen years. Perhaps he has the magic powers to wake Bruce...
The slippery slope of making a bio-pic about a well known public figure is two-fold: one, our image of that person is firmly etched in the mind, and second, finding out that great people and artists aren't saints is only worth it if the revelations are worthwhile. Though there's nothing wrong with taking liberties, the end result of Sacha Gervasi's Hitchcock is...
We were surprised a couple weeks ago when Hitchcock was given a November release date. The marketing campaign hadn't really kicked in and HBO had their own HBO movie which will debut shortly that focuses on Hitch's relationship with Tippi Hedren. So why so soon? Two words: The Artist.
There is something of a science to release dates. On top of knowing that there are certain times of the year when a big movie will do better or worse than other times, studios often pick dates because of past experiences. For instance, Zack Snyder wants all of his pictures released on the same weekend for luck. Now we've got dates for Sacha Gervasi's Hithcock, and...
Darren Aronofsky isn't a director who likes to keep it simple. This is the guy who's most well-known for his mind-trip movies like Requiem for a Dream, The Fountain and Black Swan. So, when Paramount announced that his version of Noah would be a "close adaptation of the biblical story of...
Wow, it is a very weak week here in the DVD release land. You have your pick of Anthony Hopkins as a priest fighting the devil, Jason Statham in an action movie that isn't a Transporter or Crank sequel or Minka Kelly having to fend off Leighton Meester.
Not sure which movies those are? I don't blame you, I forgot they'd all been released too. These films are The...
Thor may be the trickiest of the big Marvel characters to adapt. Both a Norse God, and an extra-terrestrial being, Thor doesn't have the "normal person thrust into superpowers" hook - which is both good and bad. And to that end Thor is not really an origin tale, so much as a learning experience for the main character. There's a lot to do here, on top of director Kenneth Branagh putting a big...
For the Thor press conference we were joined by Chris Hemsworth, Tom Hiddleston, Idris Elba, Kat Dennings, Jamie Alexander, and Anthony Hopkins. It was a fun chat, and the group talked about the hardships of maing a big franchise production, and the fun of being in comic book movies. For more with Hopkins, there's another great interview. But check out the press conference…
Sometimes an actor so dominates a group interview that it’s worth separating him out from the others. Sir Anthony Hopkins is a veteran performer whose stories of coming to Hollywood and his current attitudes toward working consumed a good chunk of the recent press conference for Thor. In his comments, he revealed a man who know longer feels the need to watch his...
The Rite is a horror-thriller that's based on actual events that occurred between two priests in Rome. The film is directed by Mikael Håfström and stars Oscar winner Anthony Hopkins, and a young, Irish actor named Colin O'Donoghue. The duo are cast as an unlikely pair: the believer and the doubter, and as viewers we watch them fight a battle of...
This weekend Oscar nominated films, The King's Speech, True Grit, and Black Swan will battle with last week's box office winner, No Strings Attached, while new releases, The Rite and The Mechanic try to sneak their way into the top five....
And now for...
The official teaser trailer for Paramount and Marvel Entertainment's latest feature, Thor has premiered. Just yesterday we gave you a nice description of what you could expect from the video and now we have it for you to view! Are you ready to rumble with the outer worldly warrior who carries a lightning fueled hammer? Take a look...
Anthony Hopkins is back and he's scaring us sh*tless in the supernatural thriller The Rite. We were first introduced to the film back in October when the teaser trailer was released and today we've got a follow up. A full trailer has debuted on Apple, and it shows us even more sides of Hopkins and his shady character. Take a look...
Two of the scariest things in life have come together, Anthony Hopkins and the Catholic church... performing exorcisms on the devil. Warner Brothers has just released the latest poster for The Rite, a film that is supposedly based off true events about the devil making his way back to earth. Fun times!
The film follows skeptical seminary student Michael Kovak,...
At the 2010 Spike TV Scream Awards Anthony Hopkins made an appearance to introduce the world premiere of the trailer for his new film, The Rite. It's filled with all the things a horror thriller should have: death, the Devil, demons, and Hopkins. The film is based on real life events that center on the legitimacy of demonic possession and the Vatican's attempt to...
Last week I had the honor of being able to interview Sir Anthony Hopkins for his role as an older man who is going through a life-crisis and marries a young tart in Woody Allen's latest film You Will Meet a Tall Dark Stranger. It's days like these that make it all seem worth it. Hopkins, as I had been told beforehand, was quite charming and not only answered our...
Marvel recently released a photo of the three main characters from next year's live action adaptation of Thor. It featured Anthony Hopkins as Odin, Tom Hiddleston as Loki, and Chris Hemsworth as the thunder god himself. Over at the SHH forums, they've stumbled upon another image from the film that features father and son (Odin and Thor) in what looks like an intense...
A new photo has surfaced online from the much-hyped Marvel film, Thor. Over at The Los Angeles Times an image featuring Chris Hemsworth as the title character, Anthony Hopkins as his father Odin, and Tom Hiddleston as his archenemy and brother Loki has debuted. Along with the picture, we also got some new information regarding whether or not the studio will release...
Anthony Hopkins has signed on for a new gig and it's a supernatural thriller called The Rite. The film is based on a novel by American author Matt Baglio, which drew from real life events. The veteran actor will take on the role of a priest whose exorcism expertise isn't really age-old, but rather unusual.
The Wolfman is a remake of the popular horror classic that was produced by Universal over 60 years ago. Instead of capitalizing on a more contemporary adaptation of the character the studio decided to stick with the old plot and feel of the original. This includes the overseas location and time period, accompanied by plenty of blood and gore. This film could have been...
