Somebody up there really likes us, because this glorious day brings not one, not eight, but two new posters for upcoming Robert De Niro flicks. First is Righteous Kill, the serial killer thriller starring Al Pacino and De Niro as no-nonsense cops who squat over crime scenes and directed by the guy who forever lives [...]

Back in January we posted the first photos of Sean Penn as Harvey Milk in Gus Van Sant’s Milk. Focus Features has now released the first official production photo. Check out our previously released set photos of Emile Hirsch as gay activist Cleve Jones.
Harvey Milk was the first openly gay man elected to any substantial [...]

Jeremy Hooper sent me a link to this video footage from the Castro Street San Francisco set of Gus Van Sant’s Milk, mostly all store fronts we’ve seen before. But about 2:25 in you get to hear some of Sean Penn’s performance as Harvey Milk. Emile Hirsch also appears flaboyantly playing his character of Cleve [...]

Tonight Gus Van Sant shot with hundreds of extras in front of the newly-renovated Castro movie theater (looking more beautiful than it did in the 1970’s) for the new Sean Penn movie Milk. Click on the photo to enlarge.
There will be a bring-your-own-Candle-light March on Friday Night, February 8th, but only those who have signed [...]

Last week we posted photos of Castro Street in San Francisco, which has been retrofitted for Gus Van Sant’s Milk. Yesterday we gave you the first look at Sean Penn as Harvey Milk, the first openly gay man elected to any substantial political office in the history of the planet. Today we bring you the [...]

Check out the first photo of Sean Penn as Harvey Milk, the first openly gay man elected to any substantial political office in the history of the planet (according to Time Magazine). Gus Van Sant is filming the biopic in San Francisco, where parts of the Castro District have been retrofitted back to the 1970’s [...]

What Just Happened? begins in a test screening for Fiercely, a new movie starring Sean Penn. The film concludes with the graphic gun-shot death of the hero and his dog, definitely not a crowd pleaser. Poor test scores prompt the studio to request a new cut of the film, but the director doesn’t want to [...]

There’s a lot of casting news tonight, and instead of boring you with three separate news stories, I thought it might be better to combine them into one Casting update. So here we go.

Chow Yun Fat has been cast as Master Roshi in 20th Century Fox’s live-action Dragonball Z movie. Chow’s character trains Goku, played [...]

I have a feeling that Bryan Singer is really pissed. He’s been attached to a biopic of famous San Francisco politician and gay rights activist for I don’t even know how many years now. Gus Van Sant announced months back that he would also be making a Harvey Milk movie, but one of the Hairspray [...]

At the Toronto Film Festival, we had the opportunity to interview Emile Hirsch about his new film Into The Wild. Sean Penn’s new film adaptation is is one of the best movies of 2007 so far. If the movie is in your city this week, go see it (it expands nationwide in the coming weeks).
Question: [...]

He leaves all his possessions, giving his entire $24,000 savings account to charity and hitchhiked his way across the America, [...]

His latest, Into the Wild stars Emile Hirsch as a young, idealistic kid who abandons life as most of us know it for the Alaskan wilderness. Based on the bestseller by Jon Krakauer, and inspired by a true [...]
