This Weekends Movie News – Whats Hot This Weekend, What Happened Last Weekend

Hilary Swanks Headshot...and her Smile

In a recent interview with Hilary Swank, she said “If you’re not doing what you love, what’s the point.”

Hilary Swank is an amazing success story.  It has been ten years since the movie that made her career and thrust her into the spotlight…that movie being “Boys Don’t Cry” and she has done a lot in that time.

She has now won herself two Oscars in total, which is pretty amazing.  That is apparently the same number that Meryl Streep has won.

She’ll be starring in one of this weekends movies, “Amelia” which may not be the top weekend movie, but I’m fairly sure it will be a great one nonetheless.

Penn Badgley says role in The Stepfather is "New Territory"

What you normally see around this time of year (and this year is no different) are the psychological thrillers, the slasher films, the horror movies & everything else that goes along with the Halloween season.  One of this weekends movies falls right into one of those categories (psychological thriller) and Penn Badgley is starring in it.

________________

In a recent interview, the star who normally stars in romantic comedies and other movies that typically appeal to a certain “demographic” of people, he mentions how this role is kind of a “new territory” for him.  Here is an excerpt from the interview:

“Film is where I’ve wanted to be for years and film is where the people working for me, behind me, have always imagined I would end up, so it was a very natural progression,” Badgley said.  “It was definitely exciting and definitely new territory, but I definitely took it in stride.”

________________

Even though this movie falls outside the typical roles you might see Penn in, that doesn’t mean you should throw this movie to the wayside thinking it won’t be any good.  Seeing as this is relatively new for him, he probably is going to make sure he absolutely nailed the role.

Gerard Butler is quite literally going to “bare all” for his role in this weekends “Law Abiding Citizen”

Gerard Butler is Going to Bare All This Weekend

In a recent interview, Gerard Butler talked about how he “loves to show his bare rear end” because he considers it his finest asset.  He even talks about how it has become a bit of a challenge for him trying to figure out just how he is going to manage to do it in each film he stars in.

Check out this excerpt one of Gerards comments from the interview: “I love to show my rear end in roles. I fear it’s becoming a bit of a habit, a tradition that I have to show my bottom in every movie that I can,”

__________________________________

So, does that mean that is why he is going to show not only his bottom, but go completely “bare” for his role in this weekends Law Abiding Citizen?  Apparently, no, it isn’t.

Him “taking it all off” is neither for ratings or his need to show it all.  It was to actually keep in character for his role in this movie.

Also, be prepared to see a “bulkier” Gerard as he also mentions he was inspired by Al Pacino in “Taxi Driver” to bulk up a bit.
