Robert Downey Jr. Might Play Lestat in Vampire Chronicles
Word on the street is that the next vampire project will be a reboot of Anne Rice's Vampire Chronicles. In 1994, Rice's Interview With the Vampire was adapted for the big screen with Tom Cruise in the role of the vampire Lestat de Lioncort, "a nobleman-turned-vampire in the late 18th century." Later, in 2002, Stuart Townsend played Lestat in the movie Queen of the Damned.
Rachel McAdams Joins the Sherlock Boys
We've already seen the boys of Sherlock Holmes hard at work on the set in London, but yesterday we finally saw Rachel McAdams on the scene. She kept her costume covered up in comfy sweats, but there was no denying her dramatic curly hairdo for the part. It's been a great week for Robert Downey Jr., who snagged a Golden Globe nomination alongside his costar Tom Cruise, but it doesn't seem to merit a break from work for one of this year's biggest stars.
Iron Man Review: It's All About the Flying
I'll admit it, I have a geek crush on Iron Man. And, I adore his geeky-but-hot alter ego Tony Stark, who has a lab straight out of every geeks' daydreams with computers, gadgets, and hot cars (most likely equipped with some high-tech GPS) galore. Even the phone he carries is totally geek chic!
Box Office: Iron Man Continues to Soar
Update: As of this afternoon, What Happens in Vegas beat out Speed Racer for the No. 2 spot at the box office, Variety reports.
It will come as no surprise to the majority of movie critics who screened Speed Racer that the highly anticipated Wachowski brothers' flick had a disappointing opening weekend.
Box Office: Audiences Make Iron Man the Year's First Blockbuster
It wasn't just comic book fans that lined up this weekend for Iron Man, it was everybody! And I mean, everybody. The film raked in an extremely impressive $104.2 million its opening weekend, which is a staggering amount for any studio, much less for the first title fully produced and paid for by Marvel Studios.
Get Your Game On: May Releases
May is yet another month packed full of movie-to-game titles that I hope (fingers crossed) will be as awesome as the films are. I've been putting in mega OT with Mario Kart and GTA IV, and I hope to add a few more to my schedule this week to give you more in depth reviews so that you can make an informed decision on which ones are worth dropping some cash on! Which games are you looking forward to?
Iron Man: The Most Fun Ever
All hail John Favreau for rescuing the Summer blockbuster! Iron Man is the most fun I've had watching a movie in a long time. Going into the screening, I was wary of a premise centered around a giant robot superhero.
More Iron Manliness!
I can't get enough of Iron Man previews — this older one was awesome, and so is this one below. Maybe it's the smoldering Robert Downey Jr. or the high-tech action sequences? Or maybe I'm projecting my excitement for the video game — but whatever, I know I'm seeing this on opening night (May 2nd!).
Gwyneth and Robert Are Still Ironing Things Out Overseas
Gwyneth Paltrow continued her hot hot streak at yet another Iron Man premiere, this time in London. Her dresses keep getting shorter, but we can't blame her for wanting to show off those stems. Gwyn must be glad to spend time on her home turf, where she can check in with her cute pair of mini-me's.
More Robert Downey Jr. Goodness in the Iron Man Game
I'm super stoked for this year's blockbuster, Iron Man to hit the big screen, not only 'cause Robert Downey Jr. is one of mine and Pop's fave leading men, but because the tech and gadget cameos are sure to put me in geek overload! If you haven't seen the preview, it's packed pretty tight with geeky goodness that I'm sure you'll enjoy, plus some pretty rockin' tunes that I wish they'd offer up on Rock Band!
Thankfully, the video game will be hitting the shelves on the same day as the movie release – May 2 – so you can go from theater straight to your home console without missing a beat.
