A Most Wanted Man Trailer


A German spy belonging to a secret anti-terrorist group named Gunther Bachmann embarks on his latest mission when an immigrant named Issa of both Chechen and Russian descent is discovered in Hamburg, following a traumatic experience of torture back home. Issa insists he is the heir to a large fortune, enlisting human-rights lawyer Annabel Richter to help him claim it, but Gunther's colleagues are not convinced; they believe he is an Islamic terrorist who needs to be arrested and interrogated immediately. Gunther sees things a little differently, and is more suspicious of his relationship with Richter rather than his more obvious circumstances, but when it suggested that Issa could be in league with a Muslim philanthropist who is also an advocate of terrorism, he has to decide if Issa is the villain his co-workers suggest he is. Or could he just be the imperilled victim of the whole situation?

Brittany Murphy's 'Something Wicked' To Be Released, Other Posthumous Movie Releases


Brittany Murphy Philip Seymour Hoffman Paul Walker Heath Ledger Richard Harris Oliver Reed

Brittany Murphy’s final movie ‘Something Wicked’ is due to be released over four years since her tragic and ambiguous death. The plot focuses on a young couple who find themselves faced with a past that they had hoped would remain buried. Murphy died in 2009, after allegedly being stricken with acute pneumonia and severe anemia. The same results were found on her husband, Simon Monjack’s post mortum, when he died just five months after her.

Over the past 15 years Brittany Murphy is not the only star to die before their latest project is released. Oliver Reed suffered a heart attack whilst filming Ridley Scott’s Gladiator, which came out in 2000. The movie was completed using CGI and a stunt double to finish his scenes.  Those of you who have seen the movie can appreciate quite how flawlessly this was done, it's virtually impossible to tell that Reed isn't in certain scenes.

Prescription Drugs, Cocaine And Heroin Killed Philip Seymour Hoffman - It's Official


Philip Seymour Hoffman Cate Blanchett

Despite the causes of Philip Seymour Hoffman’s death being tragically clear, the official toxicology report has confirmed that the late actor died due to a lethal concoction of prescription drugs, cocaine and heroine on Sunday, February 2, 2014. CNN's Dr. Sanjay Gupta explained how hardened drud addicts can build up a tolerance, increasing the danger of overdose.

Philip Seymour HoffmanConfirmed: Philip Seymour Hoffman died of a drug overdose

"They're not feeling [the effect of the drug], but it's still having an impact on their ability to breathe, and that's the real problem. It's called stacking, “ he explained. "You can stack the same drug too close together, or you can start to stack other drugs, one on top of the other. That's how people get into trouble," he adds. “They do call it accidental death as well."

Philip Seymour Hoffman Paul Walker Heath Ledger Aaliyah

RIP Shirley Temple: For younger generations, the death of Shirley Temple may not be as heart-rending as for those who grew up with the adorable, depression-era actress and watched her help pull America out of its slump. Temple died peacefully at home aged 85 on the 10th February after a life of reinventing herself and bringing joy to others through her many talents. You may or may not know that Temple was huge in China, but why?

Samuel L Jackson Makes Himself Clear: Samuel L Jackson has been involved in what was arguably the biggest foot-in-mouth moment of the year so far. In an interview with KTLA's so-called "entertainment reporter," Sam Rubin, Jackson was asked about his recent Super Bowl commercial...only, the Robocop actor didn't have a Super Bowl commercial, leading to quizzical stares and the immortal quote "what Super Bowl commercial?" as it dawned on the star that Rubin had him confused with fellow black actor, Laurence Fishburne. Read about the fall-out and watch the toe-curling video here.

Twitter Doesn't Like Drake (Today) After Rapper's Philip Seymour Hoffman Remarks


Drake Philip Seymour Hoffman

If Drake’s reaction to his Rolling Stone cover being cut this week was a bit over the top, then the reaction of some twitter users borders on downright insane. Here’s the rundown. After Drake’s cover was pulled without warning by Rolling Stone, to be replaced with the late Philip Seymour Hoffman, the Canadian rapper got upset. And like most of his peers, he took to Twitter to pen the following gem: “I'm disgusted with that. RIP to Philip Seymour Hoffman. All respect due. But the press is evil.”

"Evil" wouldn't have been our first choice of word.

The tweet has now been deleted (as has been the one directed at Kanye West), but screenshots of it are still floating around the ether. It certainly wasn’t a classy move on Drake’s part, especially since he continued his rant later, saying:

Philip Seymour Hoffman's New York City Funeral Attended By Hollywood's Biggest Stars


Philip Seymour Hoffman

The funeral of Philip Seymour Hoffman took place this Friday (Feb 8th), and the best that Hollywood has to offer were on hand to pay their final respects.

Responding to a tipster who said he had seen Hoffman at the lower Manhattan apartment building where the four were arrested, investigators are led to believe that it is the location where the actor purchased the drugs that killed him.

Did Philip Seymour Hoffman's Gay Lover Find Him Dead?


Philip Seymour Hoffman

Update: since this article was written, David Bar Katz has followed through on his threat to sue the National Enquirer for publishing fake quotes suggesting he was romantically involved with the late actor.

David Bar Katz, the man who found Philip Seymour Hoffman dead at the weekend, has allegedly claimed that he was having an affair with the Oscar-winning actor. The playwright said that the Capote star was not only his lover but that also he had witnessed him using cocaine the night before he died. However, we must stress this is straight from the National Enquirer - via Radar - so the chances of it being accurate, are, well, slim.

Philip Seymour Hoffman Movies: Which Was His Finest Role?


Philip Seymour Hoffman

When considering Philip Seymour Hoffman’s movies of the past 25 years, it’s difficult to envisage an actor working anywhere else on the planet who inhabits a character as well as the man from Fairport, New York did. As news of Hoffman’s untimely death – from a reported drug overdose – filtered through on Sunday, fans, journalists and friends dubbed the late great Hoffman the best character actor of his generation. The 46-year-old was rivalled only by Daniel Day-Lewis and perhaps Sean Penn in terms of the greatest actors currently working in the business, though unlike his multi-Oscar winning contemporaries, Hoffman was unconcerned with taking only lead roles and effectively wrote the book on the art of the perfect supporting performance.

Jared Padalecki Philip Seymour Hoffman

‘Supernatural’ star Jared Padalecki has come under fire after he branded the death of actor Philip Seymour Hoffman as “senseless” and “stupid.” The 31 year old actor took to Twitter after news of the Oscar winner's death broke and tweeted,”"Sad" isn't the word I'd use to describe a 46 year old man throwing his life away to drugs. "Senseless" is more like it. “Stupid"". He has since deleted the tweet.

Many users of the social media site took exception to Padalecki’s comments finding them insensitive and inaccurate. Padalecki tried to defend himself after coming under fire by tweeting, “I didn't mean PSH is stupid or that addiction isnt a reality. I simply meant I have a different definition of “tragedy,” followed by, “when I think "tragedy", I think of St Judes, of genocide, of articles I read in the paper. But, yes, either way, a death, is sad”. However many fans were still angry and his twitter account was bombard with angry tweets.

Philip Seymour Hoffman Hoax Was A Hoax In Itself

The Philip Seymour Hoffman hoax - a story apparently duping internet users into thinking the Oscar winning actor had died just 24 hours before he was actually found dead - never really existed in the first place. Various news agencies had reported on the hoax as a strange coincidence, though, as David Emery points out, it was the work of website Media Mass - a self-proclaimed satire website that pokes fun at celebrity rags and mocks up "death hoax" magazine covers on a regular basis.

The Seth Rogen 'Starring' Parody Of 'Her' Might Be The Best Thing You See All Week [Video]


Seth Rogen Spike Jonze Philip Seymour Hoffman Joaquin Phoenix Scarlett Johansson

Her
Her might not be the most prominent Oscar contender, but it is still one helluva movie

First off we were treated to a Phillip Seymour Hoffman-featuring parody of the new Spike Jonze movie Her, one that used cut-up snippets of the Oscar-winner's film repertoire in place of Scarlett Johansson's soothing utterances. Last night (25 Jan.) we saw Jonah Hill lampoon the film on Saturday Night Live, but earlier this week we're sure the best parody of them all was uploaded on to YouTube.

'Him' doesn't actually star any big names, but it does feature one heck of a good impression of the loveable Canadian comic Seth Rogen. The YouTube channel Paul Gale Comedy created and uploaded the parody, which pokes fun at the Oscar contender as well as gently ribbing Rogen, mocking his penchant for da 'erb and also mirroring his distinctive laugh spot on. It's probably the best portrayal of Seth Rogen since Seth Rogen played Seth Rogen in This Is The End.

The Sundance Film Festival is the place to be for young, aspiring filmmakers hoping to crack into the hotly-contested business of the movies. By the end of the film festival, which this year runs from 16-26 January, there are always a selection of film titles that are revived for the following awards season, and this year people are so eager for the celluloid showcase that a number of early contenders for festival glory have been marked before their debut release.

In thirty years the film has discovered some of the most promising filmmakers out there and continues to deliver, from Roland Joffé’s The Killing Fields in the festival's opening year (1985) to last year's most notable success; Fruitvale Station, the debut feature length from Ryan Coogler. With another 120 films to get through this year it seems more than likely that at least one of the releases will be leaving Park City, Utah, with more than a few skiing lessons and a commemorative t-shirt.

"This year's lineup is reflective of film-makers wanting to tell new stories, and we're seeing a broader range of characters and ages," Trevor Groth, the director of programming, told the Hollywood Reporter. "A lot of times, the typical Sundance film-maker has a younger perspective and tells stories of what they know. But this year we're seeing more stories about people who are older."

The Hunger Games: Catching Fire Review


Extraordinary

After 2012's The Hunger Games caught us off-guard with its subtle themes, this sequel more than lives up to the hype, dramatically expanding the scale of the action while letting the actors deepen their characters. It's a full-on action epic that cleverly retains author Suzanne Collins' narrative trick of telling the story through a flawed perspective. And it provides the needed push to give the whole saga real momentum.

We join our heroes not long after the last film ended: Katniss and Peeta (Lawrence and Hutcherson) are in trouble for challenging the authority of President Snow (Sutherland) and sowing the seeds of rebellion in the districts. Now they have to travel around the nation with their team - drunken mentor Haymitch (Harrelson), preening manager Effie (Banks), quietly subversive designer Cinna (Kravitz) - soothing ruffled feathers. But of course they only make things worse. So new Gamesmaker Plutarch (Hoffman) plots a way to force them back into the games with all of the past victors, so they can be wiped out for good. And Katniss is so busy worrying about protecting Peeta that she fails to remember who the true enemy is.

Screenwriters Beaufoy and deBruyn (aka Oscar-winner Michael Arndt) inventively maintain Katniss' narrow, inaccurate point-of-view right through the film, which keeps the audience wrong-footed all the way to the end. It's an exhilarating trick that makes the tour of the districts painfully dull and the return to the games utterly horrifying. It also gives Lawrence the chance to flex her own Oscar-winning chops, further tormenting us with her inability to choose between two good men: Peeta and Gale (Hemsworth), her pal back home. She certainly doesn't trust newcomers like the mouthy Johanna (Malone) or the too-hunky Finnick (Claflin).

The Hunger Games: Catching Fire Trailer


After becoming the first duo to win the annual Hunger Games following its 74th year, Katniss Everdeen and Peeta Mellark have spread hope among the people of Panem who now feel the possibility of a revolution. However, the Capitol realise how dangerous this could be for their ordered, totalitarian society and force them to compete once again, alongside 22 other previous winners in the The Quarter Quell - an event that happens every 25th years and allows the Capitol to invent a new twist for the year's Games. Tensions arise between Katniss and Peeta who both want the other to be the victor in the 75th Hunger Games and do everything within their power to protect each other.

'The Hunger Games: Catching Fire' is the highly anticipated sequel to 2012's 'The Hunger Games'; the film adaptation to Suzanne Collins' sci-fi novel trilogy. Taking over from Gary Ross as director is Francis Lawrence ('I Am Legend', 'Constantine', 'Water for Elephants') with screenwriting from Simon Beaufoy ('The Full Monty', 'Slumdog Millionaire', '127 Hours') and Michael Arndt ('Oblivion', 'Toy Story 3', 'Little Miss Sunshine'), though we'll still see the same star cast reprising their roles. It is due to be released in cinemas everywhere on November 21st 2013.

The Hunger Games: Catching Fire press conference was perhaps the biggest event to hit Comic-Con over the weekend, with Jennifer Lawrence, Josh Hutcherson, Liam Hemsworth, Lenny Kravitz and Jena Malone turning out to present a brand new trailer for more than 6,000 fans.

Lawrence, who scooped the Oscar for Best Actress in February, is fast becoming one of Hollywood's most amiable stars. Her youth and slouchy attitude to fame allows her to connect perfectly with the franchise's audience and she brought her A-game to California. 

When discussing training for the stunts she performs in the movie, Lawrence quipped that "the hardest stunt is probably still just basic running," to laughter in the hall.

Philip Seymour Hoffman Already Back Filming Following 10-Day Stint In Rehab For Heroin Use


Philip Seymour Hoffman

Philip Seymour Hoffman pulled a shocker this week when it emerged that not only had he just completed a 10-day stay at a detox facility on America's east coast, but he did so after relapsing into his heroin addiction. The Oscar-winning star had spend over two decades clean before his relapse, but claims to have been fully cleansed of his demons.

The Capote-actor alerted TMZ about his stint in rehab once he had finished and was already in Europe on filming duties. He told the website that he began using drugs again around a year ago, starting off by popping prescription pills before his habit escalated and he began snorting heroin. He added that the heroin use only lasted about a week, before he decided to check himself into a detox facility and take control of his problems once again. The actor previously had a major problem with drugs in the late-eighties/early-nineties, but managed to kick the habit 23 years ago.

He went on to say that he remained in the clinic for only 10 days, by which time he felt clean enough to leave the facility and resume his filming duties across the Atlantic. He went on to thank "a great group of friends and family" for helping him seek-out the treatment in the first place and for sticking by him throughout. The Oscar-winner is a father to three children with his wife, costume designer Mimi O'Donnell.

Philip Seymour Hoffman Checks Out Of Rehab Following Drugs Relapse


Philip Seymour Hoffman

Philip Seymour Hoffman is one of Hollywood's most revered actors, but it may come as some surprise to you to find out that he also happens to be one of Tinseltown's most unsuspecting narcotic addicts. Well, he was until recently at least, with the Oscar-winning actor recently checking out of an East Coast detox facility to cleanse himself of the habit.

According to TMZ, the actor began fell off the wagon over a year ago when he started to become dependant on prescription pain killers. A drug-free former user for 23 years until that point, Hoffman soon began to revert to his old ways and even went as far as snorting heroin as his relapse got all the worse and his life began to spiral further into a drug-addled nightmare. Fortunately though, rather than see his life get out of control again Hoffman reassured TMZ that his heroin snorting only lasted week before he snapped out of it and went to seek help.

Hoffman, who won a Best Actor Oscar in 2006 for his role in Capote, checked out of the facility a week ago today (May 24) following a 10-day stay in the detox centre and has reassured us all that he is clean once again. The actor went on to thank "a great group of friends and family" for helping him seek out the treatment in the first place, an for helping him see it through until the end.
