Having played a journalist with a keen sense of justice in David Fincher's thriller "The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo," Daniel Craig did not hide his views. Recently, actor lashed out at some politicians, but especially the former went to the British Prime Minister Tony Blair.
In a conversation with Men's Journal, Craig noted a tendency among politicians hobnob with the actors to look cooler in the eyes of voters. "Especially in this distinguished Tony Blair - said in the role of James Bond. - Very similar to the novel "Mephisto. The story of one's career. '"
Craig says about Klaus Mann's book about the life of a successful actor and producer who sells his talents for a career, status and money. Taken the path of compromise with his conscience, Hendrik becomes accomplice to the crimes of Nazi regime. "Mephisto" - a novel about the relationship between power and creative personality. The book was banned in Germany until 1982.
In 1981, Mann's novel has been filmed by Istvan Szabo. The main character played by Klaus Maria Brandauer.
Policy, according to Daniel, is arrogant and selfish. "Even good people are changing. We, the actors try to get along with each other normally. And politicians at any time can put a knife in your back".
Craig recently suggested a couple of hard-hitting words about the family of Kardashian, occupying American television. "You look at them and think, 'That is, you can behave like a fucking idiot on TV, and you will be paying millions?" Strongly doubt that Kardashian had a problem with money to their programs".
Daniel Craig is now busy in the 23th film of 007, which will be released in autumn 2012.
Interview with Michael Fassbender

Michael Fassbender, whose work in 2011 in such films as "X-Men: First Class," "Jane Eyre", "Shame," "Dangerous Method," with interest have been met as spectators, and professional critics, in an interview PARADE was talking about the issue of sexual obsession, spoke about the upcoming season of awards and about what his role according to his father is the boldest.
About acting
"When I started my career, I was all full of doubts and anxieties - I took script at home and at night wondering "do I need this?" I was afraid to play badly. Once I starred in a movie with Helen McCrory - with this stunning actress - and was annoyed with myself. And then I noticed Helen, who in a break laughed and chatted with someone and then when the break is over, picked up, and easily entered the frame, where the script has arranged stir and lost consciousness. I thought, "How is it cool - to be able to easily switch like this." And since then I began to slowly learn it. I realized that the more I immersed into the role, the more it affects my acting, but this has not always a positive result. Sometimes it's better to let the situation to the screen felt no prior preparation. And when I learned this, began surprises - I began to reveal my characters from an unexpected direction, thus making them much more interesting. After all, in fact, there are many ways to approach and open the same door. "
About the film "Shame"
"I watched it only once, because it is difficult to make it twice (laughs). It happened at the Festival in Venice, and it was pretty interesting. I sat through the whole movie, but all the while fidgeting in my place."
"My dad was sitting behind me. By the way, I’ve also invited my mom. When we have been shooting “Shame", I thought," This is not a movie that my parents will watch with the whole family". But as time passed, and I said," Yes come, come to Venice, and we'll see it together. " Thank God, my mother's back ached, and she was not there. But dad was cool, "Say thank you, that your mother stayed at home!" He was very impressed and really proud of, though maybe it sounds weird! "
About the problem of sexual obsession
"At first I thought," What does it do?" I do not know whether I will perceive it seriously. After a while we realize that sexual addiction - it's something real and very destructive. You meet with people who suffer from this disease and you realize that the greater part of their lives is destroyed. This is the same as drugs and gambling, as pornography on the Internet, when the guys spend 72 hours behind computer. Where does it come from, how we can help? The film does not give answers, but we are raising this issue and ask questions. I think the main problem lies in Brandon emotional component of his relations. He can’t afford to open and close attachment or intimate relationships. "
About Carl Jung
"In Europe of early 20th century, they felt themselves at the center of civilization. They explored many issues, and now we have much more conservative attitude to the problems that they discussed then. These people are engaged in serious research, and there is nothing abnormal. So Jung and Freud spent much time in conversations, discussions and conversations. They were scientists, so do not wait from their talks something extraordinary. It is a science".
About the difference between Brandon and Jung
"I made Jung to eat a lot in order to emphasize his sensuality. He was always eating biscuits and cakes, it is always big portions. The guy's a good appetite, and he enjoys the food. Brandon also eats to regain strength. Well, when he eats the remains of yesterday's Chinese fast food or drink a can of Redbull in the morning. He does not get any pleasure from it, as well as from his sex life. He has been involved in this at the physiological level, without emotion, without feeling any satisfaction. "
Talks about awards
"I can’t say anything about it, except that - wait and see. I'm very flattered by the fact that my work has been mentioned, but I can only wait for what will come of this."
List of the most downloaded movies of 2011
(2 votes, average: 5.00 out of 5) Loading ...
If in 2010 the top position in the list of most downloaded pictures kept "Avatar", then in 2011, the first place has taken the thriller "Fast and Furious 5." However, the number of downloads compared to last year was substantially reduced.
Like last year, the information has been provided by Torrentreactor resource. "Fast and Furious 5” has been illegally downloaded from torrent sites 9.3 million times. Compared with the "Avatar" is somehow not serious: James Cameron's epic downloaded over 16.5 million times.
Torrentreactor notes that the number of illegal downloads has decreased due to tougher action taken against network piracy. In particular, last week the 49-year-old New Yorker Gilberto Sanchez, placing in net working copy of "Wolverine", received a year in prison.
However, the number of users actively using torrents, not shrinking. Given the figures in the report of Torrentreactor, we can assume that the audience simply prefers variety of films.
Top ten most downloaded movies in 2011 is as follows:
1. "Fast and Furious 5" - 9.26 million downloads;
2. "Hangover 2: From Vegas to Bangkok" - 8.84 million;
3. "Thor" - 8.33 million;
4. "Source code" - 7.91 million;
5. "I - Fourth" - 7.67 million;
6. "Sucker Punch" - 7.2 million;
7. "127 hours" - 6.91 million;
8. "Rango" - 6.48 million;
9. "The King’s speech” - 6.25 million;
10. "Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows: Part 2" - 6.03 million.
Interestingly, the number of downloads this year did not correlate with the box office. Thus, the profit-making film in the top ten was in last place, and "Pirates of the Caribbean 4" and "Transformers 3" have not been included, in contrast to the modest nominated for "Oscar", "The King’s speech" and "127 hours" .
Why are viewers not eager to visit cinemas?
(1 votes, average: 5.00 out of 5) Loading ...
While studios warn about the high fees, analysts say that Americans are less likely to go to the movies. Renowned film critic Roger Ebert tried to find the causes of this phenomenon and proposed six options. Note that piracy is not among them.
According to the article by David Germano of the Associated Press, despite all the tricks of Hollywood, starting with the huge big-budget blockbusters and screens to large advertising campaigns and format of 3D, the number of all viewers has reduced. The last time cinema has been visited so bad 16 years ago.
As noted by Hollywood.com, common charges in 2011 in the U.S. totaled about $ 10.2 billion, but it is 3.5% less than in 2010. At the same time in 2011, have been sold 1.28 billion tickets, but it is 4.4% less than last year. For comparison: in 1995, sold 1.26 million tickets.
Nevertheless, charges dropped not so critical, mainly due to increase in ticket prices - as the usual views, and in the movies in 3D, which are increasingly win screens.
But why the number of viewers becomes fewer with every day? Roger Ebert, film critic of the influential Chicago Sun-Times offers six versions.
1. The apparent lack of a major mainstream film. When the audience hears about "Avatar" or "Dark Knight," even the laziest will raise from his couches and run to the cinema.
2. High ticket prices. People always complain about it, but in fact there have their own motives. The fact is that historically this: go to the movies has always been cheaper than in a restaurant, a concert or sports game. Whatever may be said about the beauty of the format 3D, for example, a family of four can not afford such expenses.
3. The audience in the cinemas. Audiences over thirty are tired of noisy teenagers. Madden does not just talk during sessions, but bright screens and phones that light up with fans scribbling or writing SMS to twitter.
4. Prices in bars of cinemas. It is not a secret that the main revenue is collected from the sale of cinema drinks and popcorn. By themselves, they are very cheap, but a lot of money flying into the audience. Often sold enormous servings of popcorn worth more small portions, which are generally preferred to withdraw from sale.
5. Cinemas can not withstand competition with the other options of movies viewing. Last is now calmly bought on the internet and TV screens are getting bigger and cheaper. The viewer is easier to buy movies online. In the evening, the U.S. Internet service, providing video on demand Netflix, is responsible for 30% of all Internet traffic, and this is millions of viewers, which stay at home.
6. Bad choice. Bright spot in training camp in 2011 became the money earned by independent, foreign and documentary films. Still, many viewers simply can not find these movies in their multiplexes. Instead, the movie theaters in shopping centers show approximately the same set of films. These pictures start loud, go a couple of weeks, and then replaced by new ones.
By the way, Ebert immediately cuts off the popular myth that independent films are in demand only in major U.S. cities. According to the Netflix of December 28, the third most popular film was the drama Abbas Kiyarostami "Copie conforme". In the fourth - the French crime drama "Crime out of love", and the fifth - a Swedish adaptation of Stieg Larsson's novel "The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo."
"Americans love movie, as before, - says Roger Ebert. - Just cinemas are gradually losing its appeal. Those cinemas who adhere to certain policies in the halls, offering different movies and love to the audience, are thriving. Others may continue to wait for the mercy of studio blockbusters, but this is not for a long".

(1 votes, average: 5.00 out of 5) Loading ...
The sixth film of franchise "Fast and Furious" will be divided into two parts. This was told the other day by Vin Diesel, star and producer of films. Director Justin Lin and screenwriter Chris Morgan during discussion of the plot of the sixth movie came to the conclusion that they need and the seventh to normally conceive to tell the story.
In the words of Vin Diesel, scripts of sixth and seventh, "Fast and Furious" are written in parallel.
"Given the success of the fifth, adding new characters and an increase in magnitude, we discussed how to fit into the subsequent history of a film with the number 6 in the title, but it turned out that we did not have enough space," - said the actor.
"We needed to completely describe the history, develop a relationship of heroes, and when we started to figure the script, it was 110 pages - continues Vin Diesel. - Then in the studio, we were told that everything will not be shown in one movie. Thus, it was decided to divide the sixth film in half. Therefore, the "Fast and the Furious 7" will be a direct continuation of the "Fast and the Furious 6."
Franchise has changed dramatically over 10 years of its existence. What started out as a thriller about the race on the beautiful wheelbarrows turned into a story about the robbery. "Fast and Furious 5" is the highest grossing episode of the series, collecting 626 million in worldwide box office. In addition, critics have been supportive to the film.
On the plot of the sixth and seventh parts Diesel, of course, didn’t say anything.
The actor left franchise after the first film, but returned in the final third episode, and already in the fourth part his hero was again one of the main characters.
Paul Walker talks about the attractiveness of "Fast and Furious" this way: "It's not in wheelbarrows and chase, although when I was 25, I was just because of them and agreed to do it. If there were no stories about friendship, family and reciprocity, movies would not stretch as much. "

Some time ago James Franco refused the role in the biographical drama "Lovelace" of Amanda Sayfred. Now the actor finally decided to appear as director and actor in the project "Squall". Rob Epstein and Jeffrey Friedman will play Franco's Playboy empire founder Hugh Hefner.
At first, James Franco offered the role of husband of Linda Chuck Traynor. It was he who pushed his wife in pornography almost at gunpoint. But the actor has too busy schedule, so it did not work, and the role went to Peter Sarsgaard.
However, the actor still found some time to devote to the project and now talks about the appearance in the film in the role of Hugh Hefner. It is expected that Franco will hold on the set one day.
Also in "Lovelace" will star Hank Azaria - he plays the director of "Deep Throat" Jerry Damiano. Damiano was proud that he managed to shoot a porno movie with a plot, characters and the normal sense of humor.

Filming began in Los Angeles on December 20.
Interview with Christian Bale

The main hero of Batman in Christopher Nolan's film "The Dark Knight Rises" Christian Bale in an interview to resource Enquirer Entertainment shared his opinion of colleagues on the site: Anne Hathaway, Tom Hardy and Joseph Gordon-Levitt.
About Anne Hathaway.
"We have much common scenes with Ann. By the way, I was at her screen test. Then I said to Chris that the test for the role of Catwoman come such a great actress. Personally, I’m usually terrible at auditions, so always admire those who, without any training and getting used to the image, can go and demonstrate his vision of the character. This talent I saw in Ann. When Chris looked at a screen test, he agreed that Ann did a great job. In fact, for some reason, I believe that to Anne from the outset was the most difficult task. For example, because some believe that the role of Catwoman is predetermined. As for Batman, then at some point I stopped paying attention to external information sources, and accept only recommendation of Chris, who has his own ideas about the universe of Batman. "
About Tom Hardy.
"Tom Hardy - phenomenal actor. I really enjoyed working with him. He plows on all cylinders. I know, Bane and had come across in the film, but in my opinion, little by little Tom creates a new image of his hero and is granted to him in this freedom ".
About Joseph Gordon-Levitt.
"Joseph is very mysterious guy. I watched few films with his participation, as they walked shooting. I think he is a man truly loves a craft that is involved. He is a good smart guy. Working in" Dark Knight ", he has made all the bests that he could."
About Batman.
"We finished filming few days ago, and the last time I rented a cape of Batman. I think that all production is curtailed, in general, everything is finished. Chris and I put an end to this era of Batman."
"It was nice to play Bruce Wayne. From the beginning we always assume that there are three persons: the real Batman, Bruce Wayne is the real, hidden from prying eyes, and its public release - a millionaire playboy."

Interview with Gary Oldman

The hero of Commissioner James Gordon - Gary Oldman in an interview with our resource shared his thoughts on the final part of the franchise "The Dark Knight Rises".
- Without hesitation you can be called the soul of the franchise "The Dark Knight." How is Gordon in the third film?
"In fact, I can not say much about it, since vowed not to disclose (smiles), but when we meet with Jim in" The Renaissance legend, "we will see that Gotham has become calmer, and he recalls Gordon to us as it was the first movie. He got fed up world, and, although it seems that on the surface of the peace and quiet, and he was able to reduce crime, it is clear that all boils down."
- And this hell is going to escape.
"Well, a certain amount of hell should break out. It's "The Dark Knight 2" (laughs).
- I understand that you are obliged to remain silent, but still, what can we expect?
"I think the story is, really, good. It will meet your expectations. Can’t say more."
- When people come out of the theater, what will they think?
"That is impressive. It's a great final trilogy. Nolan completes the circle begun by him: he introduces elements of the first film," Batman Beginning "and makes amazing things. I think his choice of villain, is very interesting - instead use the Riddler Bane or Penguin. He did not choose the obvious. The most demanding task for Chris has always been the story itself. I think it had a certain amount of pressure, mainly due to the incredible success of "The Dark Knight." This kind of pressure is always exists in case of success. But Chris is too smart and good enough to make the third film just for the fact of shooting, just because someone wants or needs that from him, and I'm sure he thinks so: "Let me sort things out”. Therefore, the fans will not be disappointed. Do you like movies about the Dark Knight?"
- Oh, yes, very much. Can not wait for "The Dark Knight 2."
"I think it will really captivate you. It was very interesting work."
- Are you sorry that the series came to an end?
"Well, yes and no. I can not tell you my feeling, but at the site was something, something which is relevant to Batman, and I told the producer Emma Thomas:" You must remember this. "And she said:" I do not know, we have already accumulated a mass of memories. "After 8 years, everything ends and I feel relief mixed with sadness. It was a sad day, last night shooting, and - Jim Gordon resigned."

On the set of thriller "The Iceman" is one more replacement. Instead of Maggie Gyllenhaal unsuspecting spouse of serial killer will play Winona Ryder. Previously, from the project has dropped out James Franco and was replaced by Benicio Del Toro.
Richard Kuklinski serial killer (this role is still going to play Michael Shannon) developed his infamous activities in the 50s of last century. He worked for the Gambino family, namely, the mobsters Roy Deme, and enjoyed the reputation of unquestioning executor. At the same time Kuklinski was a loving father and a wonderful family man. Family and neighbors had no clue what he was doing really. Killer was caught in 1986. He claimed that in 30 years has killed over 200 people.
Chris Evans was replaced by James Franco as a mentor of Kuklinski, Mr. Soft. Deme had to play Benicio Del Toro, but the actor refused, and was replaced by Ray Liotta. Also, the project engaged David Schwimmer - one of the "Friends" will embody on the screen a murderer Josh Rosenthal.
Winona Ryder recently is rarely seen on the screen. She flashed in "Star Trek" as Spock's mother, played a prima ballerina in the resignation of the "Black Swan" and showed up in an unsuccessful comedy of Ron Howard's "Dilemma." Next year, Ryder will be seen in the thriller "Surveillance" in which she co-starred with James Franco.
Director Ariel Vromen will begin filming of "Iceman" in the coming days.
Maggie Gyllenhaal has left the project because of pregnancy - the actress expecting her second child.
