5 December 2009 3:22 PM, PST | digitalspy | See recent digitalspy news »

Jonathan Rhys Meyers has admitted that he does not enjoy filming sex scenes. The Irish actor, who has insisted that having sex with about 20 people is "not so much", revealed that he dislikes shooting sex scenes because make-up has to be applied to his bottom. Speaking to Tele 5, the 32-year-old said: "It is embarrassing every time. You have to pretend that you're passionately making love and forget the whole (more) »

Special Feature: Irish 'Tudors' Era Comes to an End

25 November 2009 11:29 PM, PST | IFTN | See recent IFTN news »

To mark the end of 'The Tudors' shoot Iftn caught up with writer, creator and executive producer of 'The Tudors' Michael Hirst; one of the series' key directors, Ciarán Donnelly and location manager Edmund Sampson to discuss highs, lows and day-to-day workings of the historic series. And thus it has come to pass that the gargantuan operation that was the filming of 'The Tudors' has come to an end. The days of cavorting in the Wicklow hillsides, brooding at extravagant balls and seeing off wife after wife has come to an end for Jonathan Rhys Meyers' Henry Tudor. The historical drama series from Showtime has introduced an image of unparalleled glamour and sexiness into the Tudor era. It chronicles the life and times of King Henry VIII, played by Jonathan Rhys Meyers, and sheds light on his veritable parade of wives and (sometimes »

From Paris With Love

25 November 2009 7:54 AM, PST | FilmShaft.com | See recent FilmShaft.com news »

Since his career resurrection in 1994, John Travolta’s hits have dried up a great deal. He’s still A-list, but he’s coasting on past successes. Could Luc Besson and Pierre Morel be providing him with a new hit? From Paris With Love, judging from the excellent trailer, looks set to give Travolta a needed boost. Even the poster looks great!

Travolta (with shaved head and goatee) teams up with Jonathan Rhys Meyers for an action-comedy in which two CIA operatives cause destruction and mayhem in the city of lights (to stop a terrorist attack!) Written by French cinema icon Besson and directed by Taken’s Pierre Morel, this looks like breezy, good fun. Since quitting the directing lark, Besson has made a name for himself writing and producing action flicks with a strong French flavour. The Transporter series and last year’s kick-ass Taken have provided international cinema with »

20 November 2009 8:59 AM, PST | IrishCentral | See recent IrishCentral news »

Jonathan Rhys Meyers has a busy few months coming up.  In addition to saying goodbye to his popular Showtime series “The Tudors,” which begins airing its fourth and final season in January, the Irish actor will also premiere his film with John Travolta, “From Paris With Love,” and begin shooting another project with Kevin Bacon in Belfast. “From Paris With Love” is a spy caper set in France, and it opens on February 5.

Two Terrific New 'From Paris with Love' Posters

10 November 2009 8:43 PM, PST | 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: »

Blowing up theaters in February 5, 2010, check out two posters for “Taken” director Pierre Morel’s action-thriller “From Paris With Love”.

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.  »
