Shia LaBeouf Debuts a Slick New Look For His Nymphomaniac Film

Shia LaBeouf and his costars in Nymphomaniac joined director Lars von Trier for a photocall in Cologne, Germany, this morning. Shia, sporting a slicked-back hairdo, smiled for the cameras alongside Stellan Skarsgard, Charlotte Gainsbourg, Mia Goth, and Stacy Martin. Both Charlotte and Stellan have worked with the controversial director before, but this is Shia's first go-round. His role in the film isn't one for the faint of heart, either. According to reports, Shia's role requires having actual sex for the cameras, as opposed to what's been required in his past movies. He spoke about the unusual requirement in an interview last month. Shia said, "It is what you think it is. There's a disclaimer at the top of the script that basically says we're doing it for real. And anything that is 'illegal' will be shot in blurred images. But other than that, everything is happening."

Scarlett, RDJ, and Their Superhero Crew Step Out For The Avengers Premiere

A Versace-clad Scarlett Johansson joined Robert Downey Jr., Chris Hemsworth, Samuel L.

A Versace-clad Scarlett Johansson joined Robert Downey Jr., Chris Hemsworth, Samuel L. Jackson, and several other big superhero names at last night's premiere of The Avengers at the El Capitan Theatre in Hollywood. We were live on the red carpet, bringing you our interviews with the heroes of the new Marvel movie and capturing all the star-studded arrivals. The film's boldfaced cast also includes Mark Ruffalo, who had his lovely wife Sunrise Coigney on his arm at the debut, Tom Hiddleston, and Jeremy Renner, to name just a few. Stellan Skarsgård, who has a small role in the film, was also in attendance with his son Alexander Skarsgård close by.

On the carpet, Scarlett told us that if she had her character Black Widow's powers of interrogation, she'd probably use her skills to grill George Clooney for all his secrets. Meanwhile, new dad Robert Downey Jr., who was there with his wife Susan Downey, spoke about feeling great since the birth of their son Exton earlier this year. Stay tuned for today's PopSugar Rush to catch our interviews with Scarlett and RDJ, and for any others you may have missed!

The Avengers is one of the most anticipated movies of 2012, but the year's biggest box office hit — The Hunger Games — came up several times during the evening. Chris Hemsworth spoke about his little brother Liam Hemsworth's success with the blockbuster, and Jeremy Renner — whose character Hawkeye is an expert with the bow and arrow — told us he thinks he'd easily take Katniss in an archery competition.

Halle Berry Has Two Minds About the Frankie and Alice Trailer

The trailer for Frankie and Alice examines the inner psyche of a stripper named Frankie (Halle Berry).

The trailer for Frankie and Alice examines the inner psyche of a stripper named Frankie (Halle Berry). Frankie's been having blackouts, waking up in places she doesn't recognize, and generally just acting not like herself. The preview poses questions like whether not she's crazy and what crazy actually means, but Frankie's diagnosis goes far deeper than that — she has multiple personality disorder.

Her alter ego (whom I can only assume to be Alice) is more straitlaced, no-nonsense, and, appears to be white. The preview focuses more on Frankie's interactions with her doctor (Stellan Skarsgard) than on what brought on the added personality (though it's hinted that it had something to do with her mother). Though this first look didn't exactly reach out and grab me, I'm definitely interested in this project to see how Berry tackles playing opposite herself. The film will be released just in time for award season, so take a look and tell me if you think Berry has a chance at her second trophy when you read more

Movie Preview: Amanda Seyfried in Boogie Woogie

Somewhere along the line, ensemble casts became synonymous with ensemble romantic comedies, which inspire an infinitely more polarizing reaction.

Somewhere along the line, ensemble casts became synonymous with ensemble romantic comedies, which inspire an infinitely more polarizing reaction. Boogie Woogie has an ensemble cast, but cutesy parallel lives and courtships are definitely not the order of the day. Instead, it's the scandalous London art world at the center, and the stars in its orbit include Amanda Seyfried, Heather Graham, Stellan Skarsgard, Gillian Anderson, Alan Cumming, and Christopher Lee.

The scene of international art provides a backdrop for business, backstabbing, and sex (not necessarily in that order), which I wouldn't be scrambling to see, but the cast is intriguing. Seyfried again seems to be establishing herself as a sex kitten, and I love that Anderson is appearing in something that's not X-Files-related. Will these actors be enough to get you to check out Boogie Woogie?

Angels and Demons: Information Overload

Angels and Demons reunites Tom Hanks and Ron Howard for another Dan Brown adaptation.
by

Angels and Demons reunites Tom Hanks and Ron Howard for another Dan Brown adaptation. While Brown's book was a prequel to the author's best-selling The Da Vinci Code, this installment in the movie franchise is set up as a sequel.

The Da Vinci Code received awful reviews when it debuted, mostly due to its excruciatingly slow pace. It then went on to earn a gazillion dollars, proving there's an appetite for escapist movies involving Vatican conspiracy theories. But while the pacing is much improved in Angels and Demons, the mindless entertainment part is basically ruined thanks to an enormous amount of expository dialogue. Every time the action starts to click along, every time the mystery deepens, Hanks's professor character shows up with another long-winded history lesson that's completely pointless in terms of understanding the plot. In other words, it's a buzzkill.

To see why this would be a much better experience if the professor were muzzled, read more
