Jordana Brewster apprehensive about filming Fast and Furious 7


Jordana Brewster will find it "difficult" filming 'Fast & Furious 7' without Paul Walker.
The 33-year-old actress opened up about reprising work on the action franchise for the first time since the late star was killed in a car crash last November aged just 40.
She told Access Hollywood: "I haven't been to set yet, but I imagine it's going to be very difficult."
Production on the movie has begun in Atlanta, Georgia, and Paul is expected to appear via Computer Generated Imagery (CGI), since the latest instalment of the high-speed adventures was only half completed at the time of his tragic death.
Jordana also recalled her first encounter with active humanitarian Walker and spoke about how privileged she feels to have got to know such a "beautiful" man.
She reminisced: "I just remember seeing this stud walk into the room [the first time] and he had this bleached-out hair. I met him as a baby and I saw him grow into an awesome, amazing, charitable man.
"It's not often you get to work with someone for so many years and he was so exemplary in the way he lived. He was more beautiful inside than out."
Jordana and her co-star Vin Diesel also spoke about Walker at the MTV Movie Awards in Los Angeles last night (13.04.14) following a moving on-screen tribute to his life and film career.
'Fast & Furious 7' is scheduled for release in April 2015.

Katee Sackhoff’s ‘freaky’ Oculus scenes


Katee Sackhoff filmed "really freaky" horror scenes for 'Oculus'.
The actress stars as mother-of-two Marie Russell whose child Kaylie believes a supernatural force released through an antique mirror in their childhood home is responsible for her death.
The more intense scenes she played opposite Annalise Basso were often unsettling because she was forced to punch and claw at her screen daughter.
She said: "There were scenes were I was just strangling the s**t out of that child, and tripping her and making her fall, and climbing on top of her and punching and clawing. That's just not normal. Most people don't go to work and beat up a 13-year-old. It's a really freaky thing."
However, Sackhoff felt better when the prosthetics were on since it gave her the chance to get into character and feel less like herself.
She explained: "It helped when the prosthetics were on because I really didn't feel like myself. But that first slip that we see, after the mirror first takes her, that was the hardest part because Marie still looks normal, at that point, even though she's going crazy. It was easier at the end, when she looks bad."
Meanwhile, Sackhoff also admitted she would like to star in the sequel to 2013's 'Riddick' and reprise her role as Dahl who she played in the the third installment in 'The Chronicles of 'Riddick' film series.
She told collider.com: "It would be fun [to do another 'Riddick' film]. I like the character. I know that they've talked about doing a fourth movie. I didn't die, so I could be in it. But, I don't know when that would happen. It would have to be written first, and I don't think it is. She's a cool character, and I think we left her with some interesting questions about where she is and what's going to happen next."

Harrison Ford ‘excited’ about Blade Runner sequel


Harrison Ford is excited about the 'Blade Runner' sequel.
The actor would jump at the chance to return as bounty hunter Rick Deckard in the follow-up to the popular 1982 sci-fi thriller and is "very anxious" to work with Sir Ridley Scott again.
He said in a Reddit 'Ask Me Anything' Q&A on Sunday (13.04.14): "I'm quite curious and excited about seeing a new script for 'Blade Runner' if in fact the opportunity would exist to do another, if it's a good script I would be very anxious to work with Ridley Scott again, he's a very talented and passionate filmmaker.
"And I think it would be very interesting to revisit the character."
Despite his enthusiasm, the 71-year-old star also admitted the most difficult set he has ever worked on was in fact 'Blade Runner' as they filmed for 50 nights in a row and "it was always raining."
It is not yet known whether Scott will ask Ford to return after the director previously revealed the Hollywood veteran was "too old" to star in the sequel.
He commented late last year: "It's not a rumour - [the sequel is] happening. With Harrison Ford? I don't know yet. Is he too old? Well, he was a Nexus-6 so we don't know how long he can live. And that's all I'm going to say at this stage."
Ford and Scott famously had a fraught on-set relationship while shooting the first movie, with the 'Stars Wars' actor branding his role as a futuristic cop "a f**king nightmare".

Baz Luhrmann to direct Kung Fu?


Baz Luhrmann could be set to direct 'Kung Fu'.
The 'Great Gatsby' director is reportedly in negotiations to take on the big screen adaptation of the 70s action-adventure western TV series, which is being produced by Legendary Pictures, according to The Hollywood Reporter.
Although it is unknown how far along discussions are, and the company are yet to comment on the project, if Luhrmann were to take on 'Kung Fu' he would be the first to rewrite the script - the current version having been penned by 'Black Swan' writer John McLaughlin - before proceeding.
The original 'Kung Fu' series starred David Carradine as Kwai Chang Caine, a Shaolin monk who travelled to the American West in search of his half brother.
The show - which aired from 1972 to 1975 and gained a cult following which continued to grow once it ceased production - also featured flashbacks to his training as a teenager in which his master referred to hip as "young grasshopper".
The current script, which could be changed by Luhrmann, is reportedly set in China, with Caine embarking on a journey to find his father, before ending up in prison where he must fight to survive.

Penélope Cruz to play bond girl?


Penélope Cruz could be set to star in the next James Bond film.
The 39-year-old actress is reportedly in the running to play the spy's lover in the upcoming next instalment, which will be a follow up to 'Skyfall' which starred Cruz's husband Javier Bardem as the villainous Silva.
Director Sam Mendes is reportedly keen to get the brunette beauty to star alongside current Bond actor Daniel Craig, who will play the super-spy for the fourth time next year.
A source told The Sun newspaper: "Bond bosses have been chasing her [Cruz] since Daniel became 007 in 2006. But schedules and her pregnancies meant it never materialised."
Cruz - who has 3-year-old son Leonardo and 9-month-old daughter Luna with Bardem - would follow in the footsteps of actresses including Halle Berry and Gemma Arterton to become a 'bond girl' and would also star alongside 'Skyfall' actors Ralph Fiennes and Naomi Harris.
However, the production team behind the film have so far made no comment as to whether they have approached Cruz for the role.
The source added: "At this stage no one at Sony will confirm it."
'12 Years a Slave' star Chiwetel Ejiofor has been tipped to play the main "baddie" in the film with Swedish beauties Ida Engvoll and Disa Ostrand already having completed screen tests to play extra love interests.
Filming is expected to begin in November with a release date of October 2015.

Kirsten Dunst considering directing career


Kirsten Dunst is considering a career in film-making.
The 31-year-old star has been acting since the 80s, starting off as a child star in TV series and moving onto films like 'Spider-Man' and 'Melancholia', but she has now admitted she is definitely interested in trying her hand at directing in future.
She told Harper's Bazaar magazine: "I would love it. I love getting immersed in things and being busy all the time."
However, she confessed she would have to leave the script-writing to someone more experienced as she doesn't think she has the right skills to write a good story.
She added: "It's just that I'm not going to write my own script. I don't think I can, I honestly don't. It would be easier to find a book to adapt."
Despite claiming that she's definitely interested in making the move behind the camera, Kirsten - who will next appear in 'The Two Faces of January' - says her career change is a while away yet.
She said: "I'm not interested in directing right now. Maybe in three years. Who knows? Maybe I'll have children then. I probably will - one day - want to try it."






Wally Pfister ‘privileged’ to work with Johnny Depp on directorial debut


Wally Pfister is "privileged" to have Johnny Depp star in his first feature film.
The cinematographer-turned-director - who has previously worked on Christopher Nolan's films including 'The Dark Knight' trilogy - says it's a big vote of confidence to have top actors such as Depp and Morgan Freeman sign up to star in sci-fi thriller 'Transcendence'.
He said: "I was very privileged on my very first film to have that kind of talent. They made the experience both comforting and artistically fulfilling.
"Johnny loved the script when he read it. I think he thought he could do something fun and interesting with the character. There were a lot of conversations together to decide what we wanted to do and how we wanted him on screen."
In 'Transcendence', Johnny plays Will Caster, a scientist who works to create an artificial intelligence (AI) that is smarter than any living human. But his work is disrupted when an anti-technology terrorist group attempts to assassinate him and sabotage his research.
Wally was determined to ground the film in real science and had the script properly vetted by researchers.
He added in an interview with SFX magazine: "'Transcendence' is a contemporary film and all the science has been vetted by university professors. I spoke to professors at MIT, Stanford, Berkeley and Caltech about everything from neuroscience and neurobiology to nanotechnology and artificial intelligence."

Shailene Woodley conquered fear of heights for Divergent


Shailene Woodley's fear of heights fuelled her to be more daring.
The 22-year-old actress climbed to the top of a giant Ferris wheel in new movie 'Divergent' despite being scared of heights, and she says she has a "sick addiction" to challenging her fears, just like her alter-ego Tris.
She explained: "One of my biggest fears is heights. I love it, though - it's like a sick addiction. I'm so afraid of heights but I love pushing myself and going higher and higher, and getting sweatier and more nervous. It's weird."
Shailene says the Ferris wheel scene was particularly challenging, because it was shot in ice cold temperatures in Chicago, but she actually enjoyed the experience.
She recalled: "It was freezing! It was really fun, we started at 8pm at night and there was a giant harvest moon going across the sky, and we were climbing up and down for hours and hours. We got to see the sunset and the sunrise. It was really magical."
The young starlet was eager to do her own stunts in the film to fully experience the nature of the action genre.
She added in an interview with SFX magazine: "I did as many stunts as the insurance would allow. It was exciting because I've never done an action film before, so to incorporate physicalities into an emotional human storyline was a new adventure."

Keira Knightley eyeing up The Typist film role


Keira Knightley is considering a role in Fox's adaptation of 'The Typist'.
The 29-year-old actress is in talks to star in the forthcoming film based on Michael Knight's 2010 book of the same name, which chronicles the early rehabilitation of the Pacific Theatre of the Second World War.
The screen beauty said: "There's a book called 'The Typist' which the lovely people at Fox are kindly trying to develop for me. My agents found it and gave it to me to read. It has two really good female roles in it, so we shall see."
Knightley was catapulted to the spotlight following her role in 'Bend It Like Beckham', before hitting the big screen in a number of big Hollywood hits opposite A-listers including Pirates of the Caribbean's Johnny Depp, Atonement's James McAvoy and Anna Karenina's Jude Law, among others.
She has grown up in the film industry and during that time the 29-year-old star has become less concerned about what others think of her.
The star added in an interview with Red magazine: "I can't do anything about people's opinions of me. If I've learned anything it's to be able to go 'I can only give it my best and I can't control what people think."
