Daniel Radcliffe Not Keen On Returning To The Role Of Harry Potter In Future!

Posted: 19 Jun 2011 09:57 AM PDT

"I know nothing about that whatsoever," Radcliffe told Hero Complex in a recent interview when asked about the recently launched 'Pottermore' website. "I'm sure that Jo will be writing a lot more in the coming years. I'm sure she has a lot more in her than we've read and a lot more stories to tell. As long as they don't involve Harry, I'm quite happy to buy them." In case you didn't already know, 'Pottermore' is a website that was launched last week and cryptically features nothing more than a couple of owls and the signature of J.K. Rowling. An announcement of some sort is expected later this week. It has been revealed that it is in fact NOT a new book or anything to do with the upcoming movie. Instead, rumors point to it possibly being some sort of MMORPG video game. "Not particularly," he said when asked if he'd like to

BOX OFFICE: Green Lantern Opens With $53M For The First Weekend

Posted: 19 Jun 2011 07:21 AM PDT

Here are the final numbers for this box office weekend. Martin Campbell-directed comic book adaptation Green Lantern finished #1 with $53M, way below that previously expected. Film was getting a lot of negative reviews, with couple of good ones here and there (you can check out Josh and Mark's reviews HERE and HERE). From Deadline: "Warner Bros' 3D Green Lantern ($21.6M Friday, dropping -21% for $17.1M Saturday, and only a $53M weekend) underperforms, unable to meet even the studio's lowered expectation for North America despite the higher 3D ticket prices. Green Lantern had well-known actor Ryan Reynolds playing the superhero, yet won't come near that other non-sequel Thor's recent $65.7M opening weekend for Marvel yet starring a complete unknown." Next week Green Lantern will go against new PIXAR film, Cars 2. Expect a big drop, since it's not getting good buzz and as for international numbers, Deadline says: "Competitors also told me that the

Handsome Furs Sweat It Out in Toronto -- NXNE

Handsome FursLiam Maloney, Sub Pop

Handsome Furs' Dan Boeckner was a self-proclaimed "angel from sweaty heaven" at the band's much-hyped NXNE showcase at the Garrison in Toronto on Saturday night. The packed and humid room got even sweatier as Boeckner (who put his "other" band, Wolf Parade, on "indefinite hiatus" just last month) and his wife and bandmate Alexei Perry did their best to charge up a dance party with most of the tracks off their upcoming third album, 'Sound Kapital,' which Sub Pop drops on June 28.

It was the last non-school night of NXNE, one final late-night kick at the can for many who'd endured the city's hot, sweaty and packed venues during the week-long festival, so it's a good thing the Furs' latest electro-pop offering is a summer dance party waiting to happen. As the husband-wife duo launched into the new album's first track, 'When I Get Back,' the crowd at the front got the infamous Toronto head-bob underway, while the folks at the back seemed more concerned about chatting -- a fact that the denied fans waiting outside the at-capacity club would have been none too pleased to know about.

Star Trek 2 Will Shoot This Fall Says Simon Pegg

Posted: 18 Jun 2011 07:33 PM PDT

Simon Pegg discusses Star Trek 2, Mission: Impossible IV, The World's End, a Paul sequel, and more

This past Thursday, I was one of the lucky press members to have dinner with Simon Pegg and director Greg Mottola to discuss the Blu-ray and DVD release of their fantastic comedy Paul, which will hit the shelves on August 9. Most of our dinner conversation will be saved until we get closer to the release date, although Simon Pegg did speak about a number of other projects as well. While a specific production start date is not known Simon Pegg said that Star Trek 2 will start shooting sometime this fall.

"You do have to manage your time, but they can't tell you exactly, because they don't know. You just sort of say, 'OK, I'm going to keep the fall free.' With a bit of luck, that will be for a reason."

Last week, we reported that Simon Pegg and director Edgar Wright want to start writing The World's End, the last movie in their "Three Flavors Cornetto" series, before Star Trek 2 starts shooting. Simon Pegg reiterated this plan at the event, and believes they can write more efficiently now.

"One thing Edgar and I have discussed, we've been away for a weekend and got things going, is that we're not going to just do what we've done before. Even though we want this film to be like Shaun of the Dead times Hot Fuzz, we're not the genre guys. We didn't set out to do zombie movies, we just wanted to make a zombie movie, and we wanted to make it in light of the fact that most British films were romantic comedies. We thought it would be funny to make a zombie movie and a romantic comedy and a zombie movie at the same time. I think people want to figure us out and they want to know who we are. That's not it. So we're not going to do okay, let's do cowboys next. What Edgar and I are trying to do is fit in some writing time before I start Star Trek. We'd like to be able to sit down long enough to be able to maybe even get a draft out even. Because I think this time we'll be able to hit the ground running. We've written two films together. We procrastinated a lot on Shaun of the Dead and Hot Fuzz. We watched a lot of films. We luxuriated slightly. I think with this one, because we're match fit, I think we can do a little bit more and write as good a script but do it slightly more efficiently."

Although they haven't started writing yet, Simon Pegg does have the story all mapped out for The World's End. However, he would not share any plot points with this dinner party. Simon Pegg also stars in another upcoming high-profile project with Mission: Impossible Ghost Protocol, where he reprises his role of Benji Dunn in Mission: Impossible III. While he had a fairly small role in Mission: Impossible III, his role seems to be expanded in Mission: Impossible Ghost Protocol.

"I get on really well with J.J. (Abrams) and we'd always said if there was another Mission: Impossible, can Benji come back? It'd be fun for Benji to come back. I had two days on Mission: Impossible III. That was it. I did seven months on the fourth one so yeah, I go back."

Back in November, there was also talk that Jeremy Renner may take over the Mission: Impossible franchise for Tom Cruise after this new movie. However, Simon Pegg doesn't necessarily believe that to be the case.

"It has been bandied around. Looking at the film as it is, I don't think so. It's anyone's guess really. It certainly sets up a new IMF agent who can return and who is an Ethan level player. We'll see. I honestly don't know. It's one of those things that there's a lot of life in that story because it is a kind of Bond thing that you can just have iterations of different adventures and different teams and stuff. I can't say really. I don't want to give anything away. It's another Mission: Impossible but it's an evolution I think."

Simon Pegg also talked a bit about The Adventures of Tintin: Secret of the Unicorn and working with Steven Spielberg.

"Yes, because you can feel his DNA in the way that it moves. I've seen some of it. Motion capture is more like directing live action because you are dealing with a 3D environment. You're moving the camera around a 3D environment, but that 3D environment is digital. It's not real. All the way that the camera moves, it's Steven and you definitely feel that."

Simon Pegg also said he would be interested in making a sequel to Paul, if they could come up with the right story.

"The reason I would make a sequel to Paul, and I'm sure Greg would probably agree, is because, ultimately, I don't do my job for anybody but myself. The product of what I do is important, but the making Paul was so much fun. I got to work with some amazing people, in an amazing place, and we had an amazing three months. It was life-changing, and I'd love to do that again. If we could think of a story that was absolutely justifiable, that was worth doing, I would do it again, but for that reason, so I could have that experience again and enjoy working with people, the camaraderie and the friendship. People often forget that there is a process that exists in filmmaking. It's not just the product, there is the process of making a film, which is incredibly enjoyable. The product is the result of that, which everybody sees, but it's not always why you do it. There is also the product of that, which is fame, which is really why you don't do it. The chance to work with those people again would be wonderful. Nick (Frost) and I have this idea that we had out on the way to Area 51 that was really funny. It was like oh, this could be great. It would cost an absolute fucking fortune. If it involved more than one Paul, it would mean that we'd have to have twice that budget again. The idea was it was called Pauls. Again, it was like From Dusk Til Shaun, that title is so good we have to make that film."

Stay tuned for our entire piece on this amazing dinner with Simon Pegg and director Greg Mottola for Paul, which hits the shelves on Blu-ray and DVD on August 9.

Paul was released March 18th, 2011 and stars Mia Stallard, Simon Pegg, Nick Frost, Jeremy Owen, Jeffrey Tambor, David House, Jennifer Granger, Nelson Ascencio. The film is directed by Greg Mottola.

Star Trek 2 comes to theaters June 29th, 2012 and stars Zoe Saldana, Chris Pine, Zachary Quinto, Anton Yelchin, Simon Pegg, Karl Urban, John Cho.

The World's End comes to theaters in 2012.

Mission: Impossible Ghost Protocol comes to theaters December 16th, 2011 and stars Tom Cruise, Ving Rhames, Jeremy Renner, Josh Holloway, Paula Patton, Simon Pegg, Vladimir Mashkov, Michael Nyqvist. The film is directed by Brad Bird.

  • Men Without Hats Deliver 'The Message' With 'Safety Dance' and More at NXNE

    Men Without HatsMatthew C.X. Langford

    Montreal's Arcade Fire are superstars now, but eventually they'll reach a fork in their musical road like a generation of Montreal artists did before them. They could surrender like '80s pop rock heartthrob Corey Hart swore he'd never do to assist a younger protege. Or, after some downtime they may take a chance and return like Ivan Doroschuk has with Canadian new wave heroes Men Without Hats.

    Judging by Doroschuk's impressive, passionate performance Saturday night (June 18) in Toronto at the AOL-sponsored Yonge-Dundas Square NXNE concert, one hopes Win and Regine have a similar fire in their bellies in 2031.

    Look who I found in my Uncle's middle school yearbook...personally, I think it needs more explosions.
