There's another crop of great Spring movies arriving in theaters this weekend. Matthew McConaughey and Ryan Phillippe are front and center in the well-reviewed legal thriller The Lincoln Lawyer, and Bradley Cooper, who recently met one of his huge fans, stars in the drug drama called Limitless. Brits Simon Pegg and Nick Frost, meanwhile, teamed up again for the charming, but potentially underwhelming alien road movie Paul. So, tell us — which new movie will you see this weekend?
It's time to meet Bradley Cooper on the finale of I'm a Huge Fan! Our winner Stephanie has been flown out from California to NYC, put up in style, and sent on a scavenger hunt around the city to learn the facts she needs to pass Bradley's test. Next, she is off to Warren Tricomi Salon and 25 Park for a day of luxury and a makeover before her interview. When it's time for her big moment with the actor, he stepped right into his role as game show host, quizzing her on her knowledge of French, martial arts, piano, and Limitless. He's so cute and funny getting into the spirit. Check out their full chat and Bradley's charm on I'm a Huge Fan, and Limitless is out in theaters today!
The exciting premise of Limitless opens the door for a plethora of possible film storylines: a man discovers a wonder drug called NZT that allows him to access 100 percent of his brain. He not only becomes an upgraded version of himself, he transforms into the best version of virtually any human. Will he use his power for good? For evil? For love? Director Neil Burger tries to encapsulate all of those themes (and more) into his film, creating an adventure that's entertaining but never quite crosses over into exhilarating.
Bradley Cooper stars as Eddie Morra, a struggling writer whose life is in the toilet. He looks like hell, his apartment is a dump, and his girlfriend Lindy (Abbie Cornish) just broke up with him. He's skeptical when his former brother-in-law slips him a drug to help him focus on his book, but Eddie quickly changes his mind when he asks himself "how much worse could it get?"
Thus begins a dizzying adventure where NZT becomes Eddie's own personal magic lamp, granting him all the wishes he could possibly ask for. Naturally, it's not all fun and games; he's thrown into a circle of violence and slippery people almost immediately after NZT becomes part of his life. The more Eddie shows off his newly acquired skills, business savvy, and opulence, the bigger the target on his back becomes.

Abbie Cornish has double the promotional duty to do with her Bradley Cooper film Limitless hitting theaters Friday and her new movie Sucker Punch coming out this month on the 25th — check out just-released photos from that film featuring Abbie along with her costars Vanessa Hudgens and Jon Hamm. She stripped down to pose for the April issue of GQ magazine, and inside she chatted about all the fun she had learning to shoot a gun for her project with Jon. She said, "I'm a vegetarian — I'm not the type to want to go shoot a gun. Then I actually got to the range and totally fell in love with an M4. It was kind of amazing."
Bradley Cooper had a busy one yesterday, kicking things off with a stop by Howard Stern's studios to talk about his new movie, Limitless. Conversation veered into more personal territory, though, with Bradley addressing his four-month marriage to Jennifer Esposito in 2007. Making a rare comment about the short-lived union, Bradley said, "It was just something that happened. The good thing is, we both realized it. Sometimes you just realize it. It just wasn't right. It's interesting. . . things happen!" Bradley further shared on even more personal topics like dating Renée Zellweger before chatting with David Letterman on The Late Show and impersonating some of his present and former costars like Owen Wilson and Robert De Niro — check out a clip after the jump. Bradley's back in the Big Apple, where he debuted the film last Tuesday and told us all about his love scenes with Abbie Cornish, after a quick promotional trip to London over the weekend.

Bradley Cooper reported back to his London hotel on Thursday night to prepare for yesterday's premiere of his mind-bending, chemically enhanced thriller Limitless. He was joined by costar Anna Friel at the UK event, though he reunited with Robert De Niro and Abbie Cornish for Tuesday's NYC screening. Bradley chatted with us about filming "technical" love scenes with Abbie and shared his excitement about his upcoming The Hangover 2. He'll share more personal stories and memories next week on Inside the Actors Studio, where his girlfriend, Renée Zellweger, supported him from the front row. She's not with him in Britain, though; she went back to her home state for the Texas Film Hall of Fame Awards.
Bradley Cooper flashed his smile at the New York premiere of Limitless last night alongside costars Abbie Cornish and Robert De Niro.

Bradley Cooper joined his costars Abbie Cornish and Robert De Niro at the premiere of Limitless in NYC last night. He arrived in town after showing off the movie at a special screening in LA last week. Since then, he's taken care of promotional duties like his weekend press junket and an appearance on Inside the Actors Studio. The show's host, James Lipton, showed his support for Bradley at last night's event, where we chatted with the star on the red carpet. He touched on his intimate onscreen moments with Abbie, saying they were "technical," while she called their kissing scenes "easy" and shared her thoughts on Bradley's piercing blue eyes. The film features Bradley's character maximizing his work potential with the help of a small pill, though the actor confided he prefers to get his highs naturally. A pregnant Alyssa Milano gave a glowing review of the thriller after watching alongside Gossip Girl's Matthew Settle, Jason Bateman, and designer Rachel Roy, and the fun continued following the screening when the cast headed to Buddakan to celebrate.
Bradley Cooper attended a screening of Limitless with his costar Abbie Cornish in LA last night. He's kicking off press for the movie, which is one of the films you're most excited to see this month.

Bradley may be taking on a different type of role for his movie, but he's back to his familiar character in the recent teaser for The Hangover 2.
