Filed under: Movie News
Emma WatsonDing ding... Round one. Harry Potter star, Emma Watson , has kicked off the fantasy franchise movie face-off by slamming the hugely popular Twilight movies for "selling sex".

The 22-year-old actress, who reprises her role as Hermione Granger in the upcoming Harry Potter and the Deathly Hollows: Part I, condemned the rival franchise during a promotional tour of the movie.

Watson had been discussing the long-gestating romance between her character and Ron Weasley (Rupert Grint) when she told OK Magazine, "This kiss between Hermione and Ron is highly anticipated and it's been building up for eight films now. And Harry Potter is not Twilight, you know'. We're not selling sex."

Jennifer GreyTwenty-three years ago, nobody put Baby in the corner... and now she's set to take centre stage again as Dirty Dancing star Jennifer Grey has signed up for Dancing With The Stars, the hit US version of Strictly Come Dancing.

The 50-year-old actress made her name as Frances 'Baby' Houseman in the 1987 classic, opposite Patrick Swayze, and has already been tipped as a favourite to win the show among fellow competitors David Hasselhoff, Michael Bolton, R&B singer Brandy and veteran actress Florence Henderson.

Filed under: Movie News
Rihanna on set of BattleshipShe rules the music charts but will Rihanna soon take control of our cinemas too? Hmmm, looks like we won't have long to wait on that as the first photos of the singer on the set of her debut movie, Battleship, have surfaced online.

The Barbadian songstress, donning a traditional U.S. Navy getup with gloves and work boots, was spotted in Hawaii on the set of the Peter Berg-directed science-fiction movie based on the classic board game. This adaptation, however, is the story of naval officers who use Earth's ships to fight against alien intruders.

Little is known as yet of what role Rihanna will play in the film - although on her outfit you can spot she's wearing a name tag with the name 'Raikes' - but the singer is clearly enjoying her first ever movie experience. According to one of her latest tweets, the singer is scheduled to continue work in Hawaii for two weeks.

'HAWAII...Hawaii...hawaii......who wouldn't want to work here for 2 weeks,' she tweeted, along with a photo of her posing on a balcony.

Filed under: Movie News
Jennifer AnistonShe was apparently keen on a departure from her identikit rom-com roles and now it would appear that Jennifer Aniston has found it as the former Friends mega-star is set to appear topless in her next film role.

Not only that but Aniston's new character will become involved in a threesome with two other women, get to sleep around with numerous men. Oh, and take lots of drugs. Blimey, you can't say she's typecast in this one, can you.

The film for which the 41-year-old is set to make this massive career diversion is called Wanderlust and she has agreed to play the part of a 'free loving' married woman who ends up living in a hippie community after tiring of life in New York City.

Filed under: Movie News
Gwilym Hughes and Roy CastleIf you think you watch too many movies... think again. Gwilym Hughes - who has died at the age of 65 - notched up more than 28,000 movies since he began watching them in 1953. That works out at about two films every three days.

Mr Hughes, from Dolgellau in Gwynedd, holds the Guinness World Record for the number of films he has seen and recently averaged up to 14 films a week. He saw his first movie, King Solomon's Mines, in 1953 but his favourite film remained Lawrence of Arabia, directed by David Lean.

In an interview in 2008, Mr Hughes revealed how an illness when he was a child left him in hospital for two-and-a-half years but then watching King Solomon's Mines "clicked my imagination".

Popular iPhone App Angry Birds to Become a Movie

Filed under: Movie News
Angry Birds gameAfter selling almost seven million downloads and currently standing as the number one iPhone app game in over 60 countries, Angry Birds is set to get the respect it deserves and become a movie.

The game itself couldn't be simpler as players use a slingshot to help a flock of animated birds destroy a group of evil pigs who stole their eggs. To be honest, it sounds rubbish but anyone who has the game will admit to hours of their lives being wasted playing it.

Rovio, the Finnish creator of the hit iPhone and iPad game, have already been meeting with studios and talent agencies to turn their property into a big screen animated movie or TV show. Apparently, the goal is to create a look that resembles the claymation features for which Wallace and Gromit creators Aardman Animation have become known.
