This Week's New Theatrical Releases The two new movies opening in wide release this week are hoping audiences are looking for a few scares. Opening on Friday, Jan. 28th: Robert DeNiro gets spooked by his daughter's new friend in "Hide and Seek" and Christian Slater, Tara Reid and Stephen Dorff battle evil in "Alone in the Dark." James Cameron ventures underwater in "Aliens of the Deep," opening in limited release in IMAX theaters.
Box Office Report - Jan. 21-23, 2005 Ice Cube's first family comedy, "Are We There Yet?," proved to be the biggest draw during a slow weekend at the box office caused by bad weather which kept a lot of would-be moviegoers from venturing outside their homes. Last week's box office champ, "Coach Carter," fell to 2nd place while the much-hyped and critically bashed "Elektra" struggled to remain in the Top 10, finishing in 10th place in just its second weekend of release.

Wes Bentley Joins the Cast of "Ghost Rider" With filming scheduled to start next month on "Ghost Rider," it's about time some casting news leaked out. Seems Wes Bentley - the guy from "American Beauty" who was labeled the next big thing all those years ago - has joined Nicolas Cage (Johnny Blaze/Ghost Rider) as "Ghost Rider's" main villain, Blackheart.
"Are We There Yet" Cast Interviews Ice Cube takes on his first starring role in a family movie in the road trip comedy, "Are We There Yet?." Nia Long ("Third Watch") plays the object of his affection, a single mom raising two monsters/kids who will stop at nothing to scare away potential suitors. Ice Cube and Nia Long worked together a dozen years ago on "Boyz n the Hood" and, in these interviews, discuss what it was like to reunite after so many years and why they chose to do this particular film:
"Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy" - Question and Answer Series, Part 2 Here's the 2nd part of a Question and Answer series with "Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy" director Garth Jennings and producer Nick Goldsmith. In Part 1 of the series, the "Hitchhiker's Guide" filmmakers discussed how they became involved in bringing "Hitchhiker's Guide" to the big screen. In Part 2, Jennings and Goldsmith talk about the casting process:
British TV Director Takes on "Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix" After months of rumors and speculation, Warner Bros. Pictures has officially announced they've signed British television director David Yates to helm "Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix." With Yates' signing, this means the five films of the "Harry Potter" have used four different directors. Chris Columbus directed the first two, followed by Alfonso Cuaron on number three. Mike Newell is currently in production on the fourth movie, "Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire," and David Yates is now confirmed as director for the fifth film of the series.
John Leguizamo and Ja Rule Talk About "Assault on Precinct 13" John Leguizamo provides the comic relief in the action thriller, "Assault on Precinct 13," the ultra-violent remake of the John Carpenter film. Rapper-turned-actor Ja Rule (aka Jeffrey Atkins) co-stars as a convict who loves to refer to himself in the third person. Both actors brought something different to their characters than what was in the script. Here's what Leguizamo and Ja Rule had to say about working with a French director and changing things up:
Talking With the Women of "Assault on Precinct 13" Drea de Matteo plays a mini-skirt/stiletto-wearing sexy secretary and Maria Bello co-stars as a police psychologist in "Assault on Precinct 13," a remake of the 1976 John Carpenter movie. "AP13" marks the first real attempt at action movies for both de Matteo and Bello, two women who are much more accustomed to serious dramatic work than picking up a gun and playing action star. I recently sat down with the two actresses to discuss why they chose to take a chance on an action movie, what they thought of their "Assault on Precinct 13" co-stars, and how this version compares to the original John Carpenter movie:
2005 Golden Globes - Nominees and Winners The tone was subdued, the outfits were - overall - pretty classy, and the show itself had very little pizzazz. The 62nd Annual Golden Globes may go down in awards history as one of the most boring shows of its kind. As far as the winners go, there were a few surprises including Clive Owen and Natalie Portman taking home best supporting honors for their roles in "Closer."
Behind the Scenes of "The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy" Writer-director Garth Jennings and producer Nick Goldsmith, the British video/commercial team known as 'Hammer and Tongs', made themselves available for questions from "The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy" fans. Being fans of Douglas Adams' work, Jennings and Goldsmith know how important it is to live up to his legacy and how important it is to satisfy his fans. In Part 1 of this "Hitchhiker's Guide" Q&A series, Jennings and Goldsmith discuss how they got involved in the movie adaptation and how they owe a huge thanks to director Spike Jonze:
"Elektra" Movie Review Jennifer Garner headlines the "Daredevil" spin-off "Elektra," also starring Goran Visnjic, Kirsten Prout and Will Yun Lee. As you may recall, Elektra was left for dead in "Daredevil." She's back with a vengeance in "Elektra." A hired killer who is emotionally detached from her work, Elektra takes life very seriously. So seriously that Garner, as Elektra, hardly gets a chance to smile. That's too bad as "Elektra" could have used a little lightening up.
Interviews with the Villains of "Elektra" A short while back I had the chance to chat with two of the bad guys from the much-anticipated "Daredevil" spin-off, "Elektra." Natassia Malthe (Typhoid Mary) and Will Yun Lee (Kirigi) take on Jennifer Garner in the action drama, and both Malthe and Lee had a blast working on the film. Here's what the two "Elektra" villains had to say about their time on "Elektra:"
"Racing Stripes" Premiere Coverage So. California may have been caught in the middle of a heavy rainstorm but that didn't dampen the mood at the World Premiere of "Racing Stripes," directed by Frederik Du Chau. The Premiere served the dual purpose of premiering the movie and raising funds for the Victory Junction Gang Camp, a charity supported by many NASCAR drivers. Walking the rain-soaked zebra striped carpet, the stars of "Racing Stripes" and special guest Jeff Gordon discussed the family comedy:
Jamie Foxx and "Sideways" Cast Top the List of SAG Nominees Jamie Foxx picked up a total of four SAG Award nominations for his performances in "Ray," "Collateral," and "Redemption." The cast of "Sideways" also made out. Virginia Madsen, Thomas Haden Church and Paul Giamatti were all nominated for the performances in Alexander Payne's indie drama. Full List of Nominees:
"Land of the Dead" Preview
2005's going to be a busy year for John Leguizamo. He's in the 2005 version of "Assault on Precinct 13" and he's got a co-starring role in "The Honeymooners" starring Cedric the Entertainer. Leguizamo also plays a zombie killer, and Simon Baker's best friend, in George A. Romero's "Land of the Dead" set for release in October. While promoting "Assault on Precinct 13," Leguizamo answered a few of my questions about working with Romero and what we can expect from "Land of the Dead:"
