Michiel's Our New Daario
.
No word on why Skrein's been replaced and no offense meant to him but Huisman is a total improvement, so I'm good. Apparently the news got leaked by Huisman's trainer, who posted a picture of him on Instagram saying, "1 more week w/ Michiel Huisman getting him ready to kick ass on Game of Thrones. Proud of this guy’s dedication; huge transformation from his Tremé days." That picture has been deleted off of Instagram, probably cuz a personal trainer wasn't really the person who should be making such gigantic announcements; thankfully nothing's ever really gone off of the internet though...

Rossell Tovey Is Looking To America
.
I was just reading a quote from Russell Tovey, the openly gay British actor with the most adorable gigantic ears on the face of the planet (see lots of him here), earlier this week where he was talking about all he's ever played are straight roles and how when he finally does play gay, as it were, it would have to be something special. I guess he found his something special - special indeed - he's taking a role on the new big gay series that HBO is putting together for the director of Weekend, Andrew Haigh. It's called Looking and it already has Jonathan Groff in the lead, along with Scott Bakula, Murray Bartlett, and Gayby's Matthew Wilkas - those latter two you can see below, for obvious reasons.
Good Morning, World

Somebody remind me when I get back from the long weekend (side-note: posting will be very limited today - indeed this might be it - and then we'll be back on Tuesday) that I've got to do a proper gratuitous post for the Spanish actor Álex González - looking him up over the past twenty-four hours has been fruitful, to say the least. It'll be a biggun! Til then there's a preview of coming attractions, as it were. Up top that's a clip from a 2008 Spanish TV series Lex - TV needs more gratuitous scenes of men scrubbing their bums in close-up, am I right? Anyway if you're not Spanish or inclined towards seeking out Spanish entertainments then probably the only place that you've ever seen Alex is in the X-Men Muppet Babies movie, where he played Riptide.
That's him on the left. He didn't have a ton to do in the movie, of course. But hey, he is sitting two feet away from Michael Fassbender, so who's gonna complain? And I think they have something in common, anyway...

Everything You Ever Need To Know About Life...
... you can learn from:
Peyton Flanders: Something the matter, Claire?When your husband makes love to you, it's my face he sees.When your baby's hungry, it's my breast that feeds him.Look at you! When push comes to shove...you can't even breathe!

Nolan Funk Seven Times
.
Via Flaunt, which is calling him Nolan Gerard Funk... did he bring out his middle name in hopes we might not think he's the Nolan Funk that was in The Canyons? That "Gerard" ain't fooling anybody, mister! I kid, sort of, although this dude just depresses me to be honest, seeing as how he brings back memories of the NY premiere of The Canyons where he was sitting right in front of me as the audience snickered at the film, and at his performance therein. That was traumatic... for me!
Pics of the Day
.
(click to embiggen) The promise of Jake Gyllenhaal's new movie An Enemy (which has maybe been renamed to just Enemy, according to IMDb?) is finally coming home to roost - in the film, Jake plays two men who are totally identical who stumble upon each other, and the fall out this causes in their respective lives. It's based on a terrific book by Jose Saramago. We've already seen one promising shot from the movie, but now at last, and as you can see above, yes, they touch each other. That's all I need! That's all I have EVER needed.
The movie's showing at the Toronto Film Festival, as is Jake's other new movie, Prisoners with Hugh Jackman. Prisoners actually has a release date already, and it's soon, much sooner than I realized even; it's out on September 20th. Enemy doesn't seem to have a date yet, but believe you me we will be looking for that. And if you hit the jump I've got a couple more pictures to share. (pics via)
Who Bared Their Brains To Heaven
.
We had the first lamp-humping clip from the Beat-murder movie Kill Your Darlings just yesterday, and now we have an official full trailer, huzzah. Check it here:

(via) It's basically two and a half minutes of Daniel Radcliffe and Dane DeHaan staring at each other while wearing really wonderful period clothing. If this actually translates to give or take two hours of just Daniel Radcliffe and Dane DeHaan staring at each other while wearing really wonderful period clothing, well I couldn't be happier. After the jump, see some caps I took of Daniel Radcliffe and Dane DeHaan staring at each other while wearing really wonderful period clothing, with a bonus shot or two of Dane DeHaan and an actor that's not Daniel Radcliffe staring at each other while wearing really wonderful period clothing.
Labor Day Weekend's Ways Not To Die
Final Destination 2 (2003)
I never noticed until right now how enormous that arm is. That arm is professional wrestler sized! No way that arm came off that twerp.
I can't believe I missed FD2's tenth anniversary back in January. Part 5 was terrific but 2 remains the measure against which all Final Destinations will be held. Speaking of, where's the damned news about a sixth one? The world is ready.
Anyway I think a lot of you are probably going off to enjoy Labor Day weekend soon, with the camping and grilling and last bursts of outdoor activity before Fall saunters in, so this seemed as good a way to wish you a merry as any. Enjoy!

The Best Thing You'll Read This Week

Get Carters
.
How the hell does Anthony Wilcox get to be so lucky? In 2011 he directed a short film called Hello Carter that starred Dominic Cooper in the titular role. And now here in 2013 he's remade that short into a feature-length film, and it stars Charlie Cox in the titular role. Obviously the running theme here is that this Carter person is hot to death, whatever else may be the case. I can't find the original short online unfortunately, all I can find are a few caps here and there. Anybody seen it? Also in the remake is Paul Schneider and Christian Cooke (the latter we've gratutized right here). Basically, Anthony Wilcox has good taste, is my point. Here's an interview with him.
Somebody Needs Some Attention
.
Then here, let me lavish you with some, Adam Levine. At least the filter makes his unappealing tats a little bit less obvious. (via his girlfriend's Instagram account)
.
I Am Link
.
--- Luke Junior - Even though he is by all accounts a dick that everybody on set ends up hating, Alex Pettyfer is still getting work... and I don't know that I can dispute it thanks to this moment captured on film right here. Unfortunately I don't for-see his next rumored job joining the new Star Wars movies as giving him much opportunity for mooning, so I can't possibly be excited about this one. He'd play Luke's son, and I guess I can see it.
--- Snow Job - Because he doesn't really have a choice if he wants the movie starring all these American stars to come out in America, director Bong Joon-ho is telling us to calm down about the edits the Weinsteins are forcing him to make on his flick Snowpiercer. Thanks but no thanks - I will continue to whine.
--- Foreign Bodies - The New York Times chats with the actor Daniel Bruhl about his upcoming accents in Rush and The Fifth Estate, and they make an interesting point about the internationality of the awards season for the past couple of years. (thanks Mac)
--- Blood Decade - There are more than several films on Logo's list of the top 40 horror movies of the 1980s that I have never seen, and so fixing that's my new top priority. I've wanted to see Blood Beach
for years and years, that poster (seen to the left) left a distinct
impression upon youthful me, but the last time I checked it was totally
unavailable. I will have to check again! (thanks Mac)
--- Rise Maker - While I patiently (ha) sit on my hands and twiddle my thumbs (yeah, both at the same time, and it's awesome) waiting for Ben Wheatley's A Field in England to get even a release date here in the US, he's off planning his next two movies - he's adapting JG Ballard's book High Rise, which is about people in a (you guessed it) high rise building who go all Lord of the Flies. And he's also still making Freakshift - think Men in Black with monsters instead of aliens, which only in the wake of RIPD sounds problematic - which we'd heard about before.
--- Be Butch - Yesterday's edition of The Film Experience's "Hit Me With Your Best Shot" series took on Butch Cassidy & the Sundance Kid, you can see Nat's choice here along with links to everybody else's here. I've never been that big a fan of that movie, but if I'd participated I would've picked a shot of Paul newman, natch.
--- Flop Sweat - This list of the "qualified" biggest hits of the Summer Movie Season by Joe Reid over at Tribeca had me cracking up. The number one live-action non-sequel period adventure film of the Summer as defined by the lunar calendar - brilliant.
--- Saul Spin Off - Our friend Sean T. Collins continued checking off the cast of Breaking Bad and making us supremely jealous in the process by interviewing Bob Odenkirk for Rolling Stone about his character of slimy lawyer Saul Goodman.

Can This Just Happen Already?
.
Well now comes word that Wasikowska is outta there. Boo, I loved her for the part. But wait! There's instantly a replacement! And she's not bad - it's Rooney Mara, who I also totally like. I would have said pre-Stoker that Wasikowska brought a sweetness and innocence to the role that Mara doesn't, but now Mia's dirtied herself up, and Mara seems to have been purposefully smiling lately, so I can see it. Whatever though, at this point they could hire Rebel Wilson, as long as they just make the damned movie!

Good Morning, World

Does anybody remember hearing jack about a movie called Fire With Fire? I don't recall squat, or jack for that matter, whether it got an actual theatrical release or what, but it's got a cast - Josh Duhamel, Bruce Willis, Rosario Dawson - that would normally grab my eye and ear (and Josh grabs other parts as well). Anyway it apparently exists... well not apparently, it does exist, because it's out on DVD now and that there above is from the Very Dramatic Scene where Josh has a breakdown in the shower.
Ahh the good ol' Shower Breakdown! And if you can glaze past the blood he's washing off himself, it actually looks like a whole set of something else is going on with him in this here shower. But I'll leave that to your imaginations, as you cruise through all of the gifs I made from the scene, which you can hit the break for.

... that you've seen so far this year?
I'm curious where we're all standing, here
on the precipice of the "Important" Movies of Fall,
and if there's anything I maybe missed I should seek out.
