Two Terrific New 'From Paris with Love' Posters

11 hours ago | GetTheBigPicture.net | See recent Get The Big Picture news »

Almost exactly a year after Taken stormed American theaters, director Pierre Morel will return with From Paris With Love, a great title for a movie that is about the exact opposite. Oh sure, it's Paris, but love is probably the wrong emotion.

The film stars John Travolta and Jonathan Rhys Meyers as Eddie Murphy and Nick Nolte or Chris Tucker and Jackie Chan or Mel Gibson and Danny Glover. Only in France. I hate to be so reductive about it, but it's an oil-and-water cop movie; the rest is just details.

However, From Paris with Love has some of the coolest posters in the game this year. The first, a flip of the Eiffel Tower as a gun, is terrific, and I like these new character posters, too. Click to enlarge: »

I'm still unsure on what to make of From Paris With Love featuring Jonathan Rhys Meyers and a very bald John Travolta getting busy with some international action and intrigue. It looks cool enough, and it is from Taken director Pierre Morel, but I just need a bit more convincing it's going to be worhtwhile. Helping the film's case are these two stylish new posters from Crave featuring Rhys Meyers and Travolta getting their swagger on. In a job where I see a half dozen new movie posters a... »

Pierre Morel To Direct Signals

4 November 2009 11:16 PM, PST | EmpireOnline | See recent EmpireOnline news »

Pierre Morel, director of the wonderful guilty pleasure that is Taken, has signed on to direct Signals, a thriller that’s said to be in the same vein as Three Days Of The Condor.It won’t be the Frenchman’s follow-up to the hugely enjoyable Liam Neeson action thriller, which grossed $224 million globally. That’s From Paris With Love, an actioner starring Jonathan Rhys Meyers and John Travolta, which hits early next year.Since Taken took over the world, though, Morel has attached himself to a Tokyo-set thriller for Paramount, and Universal’s Pursuit. Whether Signals has jumped ahead in the queue remains unclear at this time. But the dude clearly has a thing for one-word titles.Richard Potter and Matthew Stravitz wrote the screenplay for Signals, the story of which remains under wraps for now. Media Rights Capital is stumping up the cash for the flick.  »

Gossip Girl: The CW showed a sneak peek of Leighton Meester's new video "Somebody to Love" last night, and we have so many questions: When did "L" get so sun-scorchingly hot? What would Blair say about such blatant sexuality in the back of a limo? (Oh wait, she's done worse in a limo with Chuck.) And we know in real life Leighton is gorgeous and famous and cool and dating Sebastian Stan (Carter Baizen), so how are we to believe she can't find "somebody to love"? Discuss! The Tudors: According to Liz Smith, Jonathan Rhys Meyers will finally start looking old, fat and debauched as Henry VIII this season on The Tudors.

Not everyone gets along with Olivia Palermo, including former Diane von Fürstenberg co-worker Whitney Port and current Elle colleague Erin Kaplan. Fellow mean girl Kelly Cutrone, Port's boss on "The City," seems to understand Olivia's iciness — but that doesn't mean she couldn't take her in a catfight.

"Olivia Palermo, well, I don't know if I'll be crossing paths with her," she told MTV News. "If I did, I think I would win."

Cutrone said Port's frienemy is surprisingly sensitive. "Have I met her? Yes, I have met her. What is my feeling about her? I haven't hung out with her lately," Cutrone said. "I think she is slightly misunderstood. But I think that she's also a very sensitive person that may escalate at times."

Regardless of Palermo's good or bad attributes, »

‘The Hills’ boss Kelly Cutrone would cast Jonathan Rhys Meyers to play her in ‘L.A. Candy’ (IrishCentral)

30 October 2009 1:15 AM, PDT | IrishCentral | See recent IrishCentral news »

Lauren Conrad’s former boss Kelly Cutrone has a suggestion on who should play her in “The Hills” star upcoming movie – Irish actor Jonathan Rhys Meyers. In Conrad’s book “L.A. Candy,” which is loosely based on the MTV star’s life, the Kelly Cutrone character is the fictional tough-as-nails PR boss Fiona Chen. Now that “L.A. Candy” is being made into a movie, Conrad needs someone to portray the People’s Revolution founder on the big screen. “What about Jonathan Rhys Meyers? That could be really good crossover role for him," Cutrone suggested to MTV News. The fashion icon, who is now featured in “The Hills” spinoff “The City,” has a few runner-ups in mind as well. "They would have to have black hair — they would have to be slightly on the mean side. I would like Cher to play me," she said. "I think that would be really great. »

"What about Jonathan Rhys Meyers? That could be really good crossover role for him," she joked to MTV News.

Jonathan Rhys Meyers reveals royalty’s ‘deathly’ diet on ‘The Tudors’ (IrishCentral)

27 October 2009 9:43 AM, PDT | IrishCentral | See recent IrishCentral news »

Jonathan Rhys Meyers loves playing Henry VIII, but is certainly not in love with his character’s diet. The Irish actor and “Tudors” star revealed the king’s “deathly” food choices. "If you look at the Tudor diet, I'm surprised anyone lasted longer than six months,” he told Canada’s Edmonton Sun. While the actors on the set of the hit Showtime series nosh on fruit and veggies, their 16th century English “Tudors” characters opt for less healthy meals. For the king, Rhys Meyers explained, "They would take a chicken, tear the top off, giblets on the top, and they would take giblets from the bottom, they would take the throat, and the head, and the feet, and they would clip the wings, and they would cook those. The breast would go to the poor." But while the wealthy wined and dined on fattening foods, the poor were known to be healthier and live longer. »

Secret Identity: Five Actors Who Could Play Magneto In 'X-Men Origins: Magneto'

15 October 2009 2:46 PM, PDT | MTV Splash Page | See recent MTV Splash Page news »

Given recent comments from Sir Ian McKellen about his involvement (or lack thereof) in the upcoming "X-Men Origins: Magneto" film from Fox, it's time to face the inevitable—Magneto is going to be recast. This was already a virtual certainty due to the story's purported focus on the Master of Magnetism's more youthful days, but McKellen's words confirm the need for a new, younger actor.

Recasting Magneto is difficult for a number of reasons. For one, McKellen already played him so expertly that an actor of his quality is absolutely essential—and not only that, but it'd be a good idea to find someone who looks like they could age into McKellen's likeness, which is very tricky. For that reason, I think it's more important to focus on finding an excellent, fitting actor for the role, rather than selecting an actor based on his likeness to McKellen.

When and if "X-Men Origins: Magneto" gets underway, »
