Chris Hemsworth, the star of the blockbuster hit, The Avengers recently welcomed a baby girl to the world, named India. Now, a lot of people have been speculating why he’d call her that – although we actually kind of like it. His wife, Elsa Pataky delivered the baby in a hospital in London last week but they had only confirmed the news on Saturday.

Speaking to E! News about his daughter’s name: “It was just a name we liked, I always kind of liked Indie or Indiana for a boy and she liked India. We sorta went, ‘Oh well, whether it’s a boy or girl that will decide’. It just seemed to fit. He continued: “I’ve wanted to have kids for a long time, and here it is, and I couldn’t be happier.

We can’t believe this! It was recently announced that The Avengers had hit the $1billion mark after its release date 18 days ago in Europe and its later premiere worldwide. The movie which stars Marvel characters such as Iron Man, Black Widow, The Hulk and Captain America was a big hit at the box office, so it’s no surprise to hear that Marvel president, Kevin Feige, wants to milk the cash cow as long as possible.

Feige revealed this week that Marvel is already in talks to produce five new films which we know will be a success, these include; Captain America 2, Thor 2 and Iron Man 3 which goes into production next week. However, Kevin did not reveal the names of the other two movies, creating suspense on the excited fans trying to guess which Marvel star will be getting their own movie? Black Widow perhaps?

“We want to do two films a year,” Kevin told Bloomberg. “Avengers is our only film this year. (more…)

Johnny Depp went on a trip to Japan to promote is new film Dark Shadows and when he got to the airport he was instantly surrounded by a huge crowd of fans, but there was one fan in particular that caught my eye. There’s a man in the crowd who looks a lot like Johnny Depp!

In my entire life I’ve never thought that there would be a Japanese lookalike of Johnny Depp, the thing is though he’s got the hair, the facial hair and the clothes seem about right. From far away he actually does look very similar to Johnny Depp, though when you look at him from a closer distance you notice that he isn’t.

Sacha Baron Cohen is Freddie Mercury

May 10, 2012 By Nikki Leigh Leave a Comment

We know Sacha Baron Cohen for starring as really unusual characters such as; Borat, Bruno, Ali G and his latest film “The Dictator” and now, we hear about the possibility of Cohen playing legendary lead singer of “Queen”, Freddie Mercury. It turns out that Cohen is still is to be playing Mercury with Stephen Frears directing, there’s also the support of the remaining band mates of Queen; Brian May, John Deacon and Roger Taylor.

But according to Variety, Frears hasn’t been designated as the official director yet, there a couple of others who could be taking the job. Peter Morgan wrote the draft to this unknown titled film and both he and Frears have already worked together on two films titled, “The Deal” and “The Queen”. So, it may seem like a good idea on keeping Frears on board as director, since the two already know how to work with one another.

The film will be taking place in the so called “formative years” of Queen, so we won’t see his last days represented in the film. The popular band’s Live Aid performance in 1985 will be there, also since the other members of the band are still alive the movie will feature some classic favorites such as ‘We Will Rock You’ and ‘Bohemian Rhapsody’. Lastly, it hasn’t been confirmed whether Cohen will actually be singing in the film or they’ll just have him lip sync over Mercury. Let’s hope he sings!

‘Transformers 4’ Going In A Different Direction

April 28, 2012 By Shy Guy Leave a Comment

When the third installment of the Transformers films was released, Michael Bay said that he was done with the series, but Paramount recruited him to direct the fourth movie in the franchise.

Shia LaBeouf also said that he was done with the series, but when Bay’s return was announced speculations were made whether Shia would be coming back also. President of Paramount film group Adam Goodman officially announced that that LaBeouf is definitely out of the picture, and that Transformers 4 is being written by one writer who worked on the second and third, Ehren Kruger.

Adam was asked about the general approach to making the fourth film and he replied with “The story is going in a different direction now. Ehren Kruger who wrote the past two Transformers movies is writing it for us, and we’re starting to engage, but I can’t say anything more.”

I think its good that Shia Lebeouf is out. It won’t hurt to have a new face, after all, they need something different to keep movie goers interested a fourth time.
