'Chaos Walking' Finds Screenwriter In Charlie Kaufman

Posted 4/24/12 2:03 pm EST by Terri Schwartz in Movie News, Movies, Page Turners

Lionsgate's newest dystopian acquisition, Patrick Ness's "Chaos Walking," has found its screenwriter. Deadline is reporting that Lionsgate has tapped "Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind's" scribe, Charlie
Kaufman, to adapt the first book in the series.

The three novels—"The Knife of Never Letting Go," "The Ask and the Answer" and "Monsters of Men"—are set on an alien planet inhabited by colonists from Earth who have been infected by something called the Noise that makes all their thoughts audible (and allegedly killed off all the women). The main characters are a boy named Todd Hewitt and a mysterious foreign girl named Viola.

Daniel Radcliffe Is 'Absolutely' In Love With Girlfriend Rosie Coker

Posted 1/6/12 3:38 pm EST by Terri Schwartz in Love...Actually?, On The Newsstand

Daniel Radcliffe might be a self-professed romantic, but that doesn't mean he's an expert at dating. In fact, in his own words, he's "crap at it"!

The "Harry Potter" star opened up to Parade magazine about life, love and girlfriend Rosie Coker. Turns out that his attempts at seduction were as inexperienced as his onscreen persona Harry Potter's.

"With Rosie, I didn’t know what was appropriate, like on which date you’re supposed to try and kiss her," Dan admitted. "At the end of the second date I pulled a move out of the Bela Lugosi Book of Woo—I went to kiss Rosie and at the last minute lost my nerve and ended up kissing her neck, which is such a weirdly intimate place to kiss somebody on a second date."

Joseph Gordon-Levitt And Zooey Deschanel Make Our New Year's Eve Wishes Come True

Posted 12/29/11 7:11 pm EST by Terri Schwartz in Random Yet Notable, Videos

Tempest What are you doing on New Year's Eve? Whatever it is, it's probably not as cool as hanging out with offscreen BFFs Joseph Gordon-Levitt and Zooey Deschanel. The "(500) Days of Summer" stars teamed up and recorded a new duet for Zooey's website, HelloGiggles, and it's basically the most adorable thing we've seen all week.

The duo covered Nancy Wilson's classic "What Are You Doing New Year's Eve" in a low-production video posted to YouTube. Ever since JGL joined ZD in She & Him's "Why Do You Let Me Stay Here" music video, we've been obsessing about their mutual exploits off screen as well as on. We've been crossing our fingers for them to team up again onthe big screen, but the closest we've gotten is their hilarious Cinemash of "Sid and Nancy."

Posted 11/29/11 4:31 pm EST by Terri Schwartz in Movie News, Movies

It's been a long and winding road bringing the indie film "Girlfriend" to a national audience, but all that work has finally paid off. The flick, which stars Jackson Rathbone, Shannon Woodward and Evan Sneider, was awarded the 2011 Gotham Independent Film Audience Award at last night's Gotham Awards in New York City. The fan-voted award was the just the latest wave of support from "Girlfriend"'s ardent admirers.

The film's director, Justin Lerner, caught up with Hollywood Crush today to talk about the big win, which he called a "humbling moment." Appropriately, he thanked the fans of "Girlfriend" who voted to earn the movie its recognition.

Ryan Gosling Totally Makes Out With Carey Mulligan In EXCLUSIVE 'Drive' Clip

Posted 9/2/11 2:00 pm EST by Terri Schwartz in Movies

Ryan Gosling FROM MOVIES BLOG: After a series of extremely well-received screenings and the build-up of buzz from premieres at Cannes and the Los Angeles Film Festival, "Drive" is turning out to be one of the most hotly anticipated movies of awards season. It comes from "Bronson" director Nicolas Winding Refn and stars Ryan Gosling, Carey Mulligan and Ron Perlman, and has all the makings of Oscar gold.

MTV News has an exclusive clip from the upcoming movie that shows a tense but tender scene between Gosling and Mulligan. There's no dialogue in the clip, and that's because there doesn't need to be. Gosling's character Driver notices that the man next to him is holding a gun, and instead of creating a confrontation with him, he moves Mulligan's Irene safely behind him and shares a passionate kiss with her.

It doesn't give away much, but the clip certainly is a tease for the violent drama.

VMA Sneak Peek Countdown: A History Of 'Hunger Games' Rumors

Posted 8/27/11 2:37 pm EST by Terri Schwartz in Movie News, Videos, VMAs

One day. That's all that's left until the first "Hunger Games" footage premieres at the MTV Video Music Awards, airing Sunday at 9 p.m. ET/PT.

We've been doing anything and everything the past week to pass the time, and today we've decided to take a trip way back to 2010, when we still thought "The Hunger Games" would only be adapted into three movies and figured Jennifer Lawrence was off the table for the role of Katniss Everdeen because she didn't have brown hair. How naïve!

"The Hunger Games" turned out to be a bit different than we first thought it would be when it was optioned back in 2009. After the jump, we review a few movie rumors that didn't have the odds in their favor. Though they didn't come true, these misleading stories kept us guessing until they were disproved.

New 'Abduction' Featurette: Taylor Lautner Flaunts His Muscles

Posted 8/24/11 7:00 pm EST by Terri Schwartz in Movie News, Movies

FROM MOVIES BLOG: Move over Tom Cruise and Matt Damon, because Taylor Lautner is coming to steal the title of Hollywood's resident action star.

Mark Wahlberg already told Leonardo DiCaprio that the "Twilight Saga" star has put them out of a job, and it's about time that the Sylvester Stallones and Bruce Willis's of the world get the clue as well as a new action hero is born. Lautner's upcoming flick "Abduction" is looking like it's going to be the action movie for the new generation, and it's the 19-year-old's badass physicality that makes the film something to look forward to.

"Taylor's not only a really fabulous actor, he's also a gifted athlete," "Abduction" costar Jason Isaacs said in a recently released featurette about the movie. "He could take the entire crew with his hands tied behind his back."

The Evolution Of Selena Gomez: A Look Back At The VMA Pre-Show Host's Career In Photos

Posted 8/24/11 5:05 pm EST by Terri Schwartz in Evolution Of, Photos, VMAs

Selena Gomez might currently be making headlines because she is Miss Justin Bieber, but the 19-year-old triple-threat is a certified starlet in her own right. She's a Disney Channel icon, a platinum-selling musical artist and a box-office queen, and she's done it all before the age of 20. Selena's next big gig is co-hosting the MTV Video Music Awards pre-show this Sunday, so we figured now is as good a time as any to look back at Selena's evolution into an A-list teen star.

Born in Grand Prairie, Texas, on July 22, 1992, Selena was inspired to go into acting by her mother, stage actress Mandy Teefey. She got her big start on television at age seven when she played Gianna on "Barney & Friends," and then transitioned to film thanks to small roles in "Spy Kids 3-D: Game Over" and "Walker, Texas Ranger: Trial by Fire." After two years in Hollywood, Selena was discovered by the Disney Channel during a nationwide scouting, and she quickly became a part of a new generation of Disney stars.

'Hunger Games' Author Suzanne Collins Is Focus Of New Biographical Comic Book

Posted 8/23/11 6:08 pm EST by Terri Schwartz in Page Turners

Fame: Suzanne Collins What a day for "Hunger Games" news! First came the announcement that the debut teaser for our most hotly anticipated flick of 2012 will premiere at this Sunday's VMAs, and now we can happily report that author Suzanne Collins is the latest bold-faced name to get the Bluewater Comics treatment.

Fan favorite authors Stephenie Meyer and J.K. Rowling have received similar honors, but what makes Suzanne's comic book bio special to Hollywood Crush is that it was written by our good friend Sara Gundell over at The Hunger Games Examiner.

"It's fascinating to see how Collins' own life helped influence and shape the books that would one day make her famous the world over," Sara said in a press release. "With 'The Hunger Games' movie coming out in 2012, her following is only going to grow."
