Javier Bardem Reviews, Interviews & More
If Terrence Malick's reputation as a misfit genius has proceeded him since his return to cinema in the 1990's, it was partly because he never talked to press and his films often took years to come out. So that he followed The Tree of Life so quickly with To The Wonder -- on top of the latter being a much more minor key...
The trailer for To The Wonder, Terrence Malick’s third film in seven years (remember, this is the guy who went from 1978 to 1998 before following up Days of Heaven with his third film, The Thin Red Line), is here, and it plays roughly like Malick cinematography porn. All the staples of modern Malick are here:...
While the American box office didn’t exactly set any records over the weekend—unless you count it as a new low (high?) in general audiences apathy towards forward-thinking flicks, seeing as how Cloud Atlas heavily crashed and burned—overseas, it was a different story. In the European market, there was one name above all: Bond, James Bond (ugh, forgive me for doing that, it...
Skyfall offers the triumphant return of James Bond for his fiftieth anniversary. But Daniel Craig's Bond gets no pensioner's watch for his service, instead he gets one of the best entries in the franchise. Offering one of the greatest casts and the best cinematography in the franchise's long history, Skyfall is the event blockbuster you...
While the domestic trailer for Skyfall, the 23rd James Bond film and the third to star Daniel Craig, featured a more well-rounded look at the film’s plot and the relationship between Bond (Craig) and M (Judy Dench), the newest international trailer gives us more of a glimpse of Javier Bardem’s bizarrely coiffed new villain, Raoul Silva. Once again, Javier Bardem...
While the buzz continues to build around Skyfall, the 23rd James Bond film and the third to star Daniel Craig, more and more tidbits about the film are breaking loose and falling our way. Today, we have both the new domestic poster for the film, as well as information about the film’s theme song.
It’s been awhile since we’ve seen a great Bond film—2006’s Casino Royale was great fun, but 2008’s Quantum of Solace was hastily-edited silliness—and it looks like this year’s Skyfall may fit the bill for Bond excellence. With Daniel Craig returning as 007, Javier Bardem showing up as an oddly-coifed Big Bad, and...
Just in case you were wondering, Ron Howard’s massively ambitious three-film, two-TV series adaptation of Stephen King’s eight-book series The Dark Tower is still possibly happening—after Universal dropped the project, Warner Bros. will decide in the next two weeks whether or not to save it.
Yesterday, we showed you the Olympic teaser for the 23rd James Bond flick, Skyfall, and now and now we have the full international trailer. And despite the fact that it appears to have the exact same plot as the first Mission: Impossible film—a secret government agency loses the list of names of all current secret agents in the field—the Sam...
There’s been a heavy influx of official photos from the set of Skyfall, the 23rd James Bond film, over the past several months; that said; the film has been relatively lacking in traditional advertising. That changes now: the film’s teaser trailer is set for a May 21st release, and today, we’ve got the official teaser poster. It’s one that features Daniel Craig’s James...
When is a Bond Girl not a "Bond Girl?" Naomie Harris and Bérénice Marlohe are joining Daniel Craig, Javier Bardem and Judi Dench in Skyfall, and both seem, superficially, like BGs. But are there rules? Do you have to - at the very least - make a pass at James Bond to join the club? Perhaps director Sam Mendes is the final arbiter, but it seems unlikely that Dench is...
The latest James Bond film has kept its plot under wraps fairly well - little is known about what happens in the film other than modest plot details. But when it comes to shooting, it's virtually impossible to go outside and not have someone take photos. And so Oh No They Didn't! is the first to show Javier Bardem on the set of Skyfall.
Last month, we reported on the first official picture from Skyfall, the 23rd film in the James Bond franchise (and the third film in the Daniel Craig continuity). The picture wasn’t exactly action packed and didn’t reveal much, showing as it did the back of Bond’s head as he casually sat by a pool with his legs in the water; however, this new picture features a rough-looking...
Yep, that's Daniel Craig, and Empire is reporting that this is the first official picture of James Bond in Skyfall, the 23rd film in the franchise. The film is due out November 9 later this year, and shooting is underway, so there's plenty of time to speculate what madness Bond gets into in this adventure. The film is being directed by Sam Mendes and also stars Judi...
Oh boy—fans of the classic-era James Bond films just might have something to draw them to the upcoming (and currently untitled) James Bond 23, the third film in the Daniel Craig iteration of the long-running franchise: classic Bond super villain and arch nemesis Ernst Stavro Blofeld (you know, the guy that Dr. Evil was partly based...
The future of Ron Howard’s massive three-film, two-season TV show adaptation of Stephen King’s multi-volume The Dark Tower series is beginning to look, well, dark. Despite having a hotshot director like Howard attached, and Javier Bardem in talks to play the lead, Universal has passed on the ungainly production.
Remember back in March when we told you that the as-yet untitled 23rd Bond film—the third with Daniel Craig as 007—was finally set for a 2012 release with direction from Sam Mendes? Well, don’t worry, it’s not getting put on hiatus again—but it is getting a pretty auspicious cast.
Remember back in March when we reported that Javier Bardem was “psychologically” attached to the role of Roland the gunslinger, the lead role in Ron Howard’s three-films-and-a-TV-series adaptation of Stephen King’s seven book series The Dark Tower? Well, it looks like he’s now a little more than “psychologically” attached to the role.
Back in January, we learned that Javier Bardem was in the running to play the lead character in Ron Howard's adaptation of The Dark Tower. Now producer Brian Grazer has come forward, on the record, to say that he wants Bardem in the role, they're preparing a negotiation package for him, and he's "psychologically" already attached. If that statement confuses you,...
Javier Bardem is everywhere. The Spanish actor is creeping his way into every major project that's on the horizon. Last week it was revealed that the Oscar winner was offered the lead role in Ron Howard's ambitious adaptation of Stephen King's The Dark Tower. Now according to Deadline, he's being courted to appeared in another highly anticipated project -...
