George Clooney, Matt Damon and Daniel Craig featured in February’s Issue of ‘Vanity Fair’

Next month’s issue of Vanity Fair will feature George Clooney, Matt Damon and Daniel Craig as they take the  Proust Questionnaire.

From VF:

“If George Clooney could choose what to come back as, it would be his dog—as the actor states, “he lives better.” The Descendants lead also admits to being displeased with his posture and considers patience the most overrated virtue. Daniel Craig values patience in his friends above all, but doesn’t like his knees, and you’ll never guess what he considers his most treasured possession—but then, we can’t really be sure. The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo star admits that he lies when answering questionnaires. Matt Damon, who played a widower twice this year, in Contagion and We Bought a Zoo, is focused on family off the camera—he says that he was happiest in bed making his four children and in the hospital watching them being born. He says that his greatest achievement is his marriage, that his real-life heroes are his parents, and that his favorite names are those of his wife and children. He and Clooney both wish they could play instruments, while the more practical Craig only wishes he had opposable toes.”

Daniel Craig Talks Auditioning, ‘Dragon Tattoo’ and Bond, James Bond

British actor Daniel Craig covers all the bases in a recent interview with Time Out London.  The long time performer, who has a series of highly anticipated movies enter the box office this year, discussed everything from his upcoming role in David Fincher‘s adaption of The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo, as well his attachment to the James Bond franchise, landing work before his studies ended at the conservatory Guildhall, and looking good for the camera.

In one of the most talked about film projects of this year, The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo, Craig stars as a Swedish Journalist, Mikael Blomkvist, who pairs up with a very unique computer hacker by the name of Lisbeth Salander. 

Talking about the cast, the forty-three year old English native discussed his accent in the Fincher helmed production, or the lack thereof.  “Some people in the film have accents and some don’t. I don’t. I had a long conversation with David about it and said that a lot of Scandinavians speak English perfectly. I’m one of those guys. We’ve got Danish people, Swedish people, English people, American people. The only thing that matters, as far as I’m concerned, is that no one sounds American. We sound as European as possible. We’re all speaking one common language and that happens to be English. I didn’t want an accent to get in the way, and for me it would. Salander has no formal education and she has a street accent, it’s quite specific.”  Read more

Daniel Craig Talks Privacy and the Kardashians: They’re “Fucking Idiot(s)”

While discussing the topic of privacy, and keeping his personal life away from the spotlight, Daniel Craig told GQ of Britain that once you open the door to your life beyond the cameras and the red carpet, there is no going back.

“I think there’s a lot to be said for keeping your own counsel.  You can’t buy it back. You can’t buy your privacy back. ‘Ooh, I want to be alone. ‘F–k you. We’ve been in your living room. We were at your birth. You filmed it for us and showed us the placenta, and now you want some privacy?’”

The star of The Adventures of Tintin and director David Fincher‘s The Girl With the Dragon Tattoo, Craig then went on to use the Kardashians as a prime example of airing your dirty laundry in Tinseltown.  “Look at the Kardashians, they’re worth millions.  I don’t think they were that badly off [financially] to begin with but now look at them. You see that and you think, ‘What, you mean all I have to do is behave like a f–king idiot on television and then you’ll pay me millions?’”

Trailer 2: Steven Spielberg’s ‘The Adventures of Tintin’ starring Jamie Bell, Andy Serkis, Daniel Craig, Simon Pegg, Nick Frost

The Adventures of Tintin: Tintin and his friends discover directions to a sunken ship commanded by Capt. Haddock’s ancestor and go off on a treasure hunt.

Director: Steven Spielberg
Cast: Jamie Bell, Andy Serkis, Daniel Craig, Simon Pegg, Nick Frost, Gad Elmaleh, Toby Jones, Mackenzie Crook
Writers: Edgar Wright, Steven Moffat, Joe Cornish

I think parts of this look great but whenever I see Tintin, his mouth is always open and it’s hardly ever moving. I’m sure it’s not close to being finished but the faces look weird to me. Like some creepy baby-doll face that doesn’t move.

Full-Length Trailer: David Fincher’s ‘The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo’ starring Daniel Craig, Rooney Mara

The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo: The film is based on Stieg Larsson’s internationally best-selling novel centering on a murder mystery looking as far back as 40 years at the disappearance of Harriet Vanger, a scion of one of Sweden’s wealthiest families. All these years later, her aged uncle (Christopher Plummer​) continues to seek the truth. He hires Mikael Blomkvist (Craig), a crusading journalist recently trapped by a libel conviction, to investigate. He is aided by the pierced and tattooed punk prodigy Lisbeth Salander (Mara). Together they tap into a vein of unfathomable iniquity and astonishing corruption.

This 3 minutes and 45 seconds trailer is only part of the 8-minute one I saw before a screening last week. I think this trailer below is freakin great but what I saw before was even better if you can imagine.

Cowboys and Aliens: 1873. Arizona Territory. A stranger (Craig) with no memory of his past stumbles into the hard desert town of Absolution. The only hint to his history is a mysterious shackle that encircles one wrist. What he discovers is that the people of Absolution don’t welcome strangers, and nobody makes a move on its streets unless ordered to do so by the iron-fisted Colonel Dolarhyde (Ford). It’s a town that lives in fear. But Absolution is about to experience fear it can scarcely comprehend as the desolate city is attacked by marauders from the sky. Screaming down with breathtaking velocity and blinding lights to abduct the helpless one by one, these monsters challenge everything the residents have ever known. Now, the stranger they rejected is their only hope for salvation. As this gunslinger slowly starts to remember who he is and where he’s been, he realizes he holds a secret that could give the town a fighting chance against the alien force. With the help of the elusive traveler Ella (Olivia Wilde), he pulls together a posse comprised of former opponents–townsfolk, Dolarhyde and his boys, outlaws and Apache warriors–all in danger of annihilation. United against a common enemy, they will prepare for an epic showdown for survival. from trailers.apple.com

Video: Hugh Jackman & Daniel Craig go off book

I know you’ve probably seen Hugh Jackman and Daniel Craig go all improv on this audience member but I wanted to post this anyway.

My thoughts.

1. I really want to see this show.
2. How can you get yelled at by Hugh Jackman in front of a packed audience only to later have your phone ring again! This is Wolverine and Bond, jackass. Turn off your phone!
3. How come no one is asking about the guy who recorded this? Who records a Broadway show? Should I be looking on torrents for shows?
