Gary Oldman, Keri Russell, Andy Serkis and Director Matt Reeves were at WonderCon to talk about the upcoming, Dawn of the Planet of the Apes. I loved the first one and can’t wait for this to come out. Serkis is terrific in everything and to watch him go to e-to-toe
BBC America finally gave people a reason to stay home to watch TV on Saturday nights. The return of Orphan Black for its second season had viewers excited by clones and its favorite character, Sarah Manning, played by Tatiana Maslany. Rolling Stone got the inside scoop on the 28-year-old actress’
BBC America’s Orphan Black returned for its second season this weekend and from what I’ve heard, the show comes back in fine form. The series is about Sarah (Tatiana Maslany), who’s in a desperate race to find her missing daughter Kira (Skyler Wexler). She becomes involved in a wild pursuit
Tye Sheridan is one fortunate 17-year-old kid. He’s worked with directors Terrence Malick on The Tree of Life, Jeff Nichols in Mud and David Gordon Green in Joe. That’s pretty significant list for someone who kicked off his career with such respected talent. He talked to Indiewire recently about his incredible success in
Fans of Mad Men might have done a double take on last week’s season premiere of the show. Yes, that was former Party of Five star Neve Campbell snuggling with Don Draper, played by Jon Hamm, in the airplane scene. The 40-year-old actress spoke with Vulture about her coveted role on the
Though James Franco is obviously the main draw for Of Mice and Men on Broadway, his co-star, Chris O’Dowd, is also making his Broadway debut. As an actor, O’Dowd has appeared in films as varied as Bridesmaids and Thor: The Dark World. Though he is an inexperienced stage actor, he
Sophie Okonedo is stepping into the bright lights of Broadway in the revival of Lorraine Hansberry‘s A Raisin in the Sun. For the actress who calls the opportunity a “dream come true,” the London-born star talked to The Guardian about her role in the classic play. Okenodo plays Ruth, the
Though Chadwick Boseman is happy that he is co-starring with Kevin Costner in the Ivan Reitman football movie Draft Day, he is probably thrilled that his next movie, Get on Up (in which he stars as “The Godfather of Soul” James Brown), has nothing to do with sports. That’s because
James Franco was already an easy target for jokes even before he recently made headlines for trying to pick up a 17 year old girl on Instagram regarding his various non-acting pursuits. In the eyes of many, his side-careers as a writer, painter, and student with the desire to earn
Director David Gordon Green narrates a sequence from his new film, Joe, featuring Nicolas Cage and Tye Sheridan. In the video, he mentions his reasons why he likes to hire non-traditional actors. He likes people who have real skill-sets and not actors who have the skills on their resume. He
Last Sunday, Season 4 of Game of Thrones premiered to record ratings on HBO. For star Emilia Clarke, she not only gets to play Daenerys Targaryen on the series, she is also headed to the big screen to take on the iconic role of Sarah Connor in Terminator: Genesis next
Jude Law is receiving considerable praise for playing against type in Dom Hemingway, a film about a roughneck, hard-drinking, womanizing safe-cracker. It’s certainly not the type of role Law would have played in the late 1990s and seems to be the culmination of the more grotesque roles that he has
Nikki M. James recently left the Broadway company of The Book of Mormon to tackle an iconic role of Éponine in the revival of Les Misérables. The Tony winner made sure to make the role her own since so many other incredible performers have played the part. She told the

Now that actor Max Greenfield is in his fourth season of New Girl on FOX, he knows how to bring his character, Schmidt, to life. He talked with The Daily Orange about his character, life on set and how rowdy their improv sessions get. Greenfield said, “The first season is
If you haven’t seen Captain America: The Winter Soldier yet, you might not want to read this post just yet. Readers of the Captain America comic book over the last several years already knew the identity of the Winter Soldier in this month’s Captain America: The Winter Soldier. However, even
Samuel L. Jackson stopped by Good Morning America earlier this week to talk about Captain America: The Winter Soldier – which is terrific, by the way – and he told Robin Roberts that for the first Cap film, he had trouble learning his lines. “I sat at home and I
As an increasing number of Oscar winners — including Tommy Lee Jones, Robert Redford, and Russell Crowe, just to name a few — turn toward supporting roles in superhero films, it’s important to note that there are younger actors who are also in supporting roles and are hoping that the
While Chris Messina has been busy this season with the coupling of Mindy and Danny on The Mindy Project, there’s one other show fans can still catch him on, The Newsroom. The HBO show is coming back for a third and final season. Messina shared his thoughts to Vulture about
