edgerton briefing zero dark thirty

 | Jan 14, 2013

The theater was quiet as a stealthy helicopter carrying sweaty Navy SEALs and the body of Osama bin Laden lifted into darkness over Pakistan. It was the climax of "Zero Dark Thirty," the Hollywood movie that painstakingly details the epic manhunt for the world's most-wanted terrorist, beginning with crackling 911 recordings from the terrorist attacks on Sept. 11, 2001, and ending nearly three hours later with the 2011 mission to kill the man who orchestrated them. On screen, a few of the Virginia Beach-based SEALs who had just carried out the raid were hooting and hollering as they tossed a black bag holding bin Laden's body onto a gurne... more

Tarantino Irked by Movie-Violence Queries

United Press International | Jan 14, 2013

Director Quentin Tarantino says he still sees no connection between film and real-life violence, but heatedly refused to tell a British TV journalist why. The filmmaker appeared on Britain's Channel Four News program to promote his latest blood-soaked saga, "Django Unchained," which opened in U.S. theaters shortly after Connecticut's Sandy Hook school massacre, in which a 20-year-old gunman killed 20 first-graders and six adults before fatally shooting himself. The critically acclaimed film, which is up for Hollywood's Best Picture Oscar, has become part of a wider dialogue about the impact screen violence has on people and whether filmm... more

Associated Press | Jan 14, 2013

LOS ANGELES - To bring the story of mobster Mickey Cohen's reign over post-war Los Angeles to life, the director of "Gangster Squad" employed Sean Penn, Josh Brolin, Ryan Gosling and more than 100 irreplaceable vintage American cars. There's the 1941 light blue Ford Deluxe Convertible that Gosling's character drives; the bulbous, bullet-nosed 1947 Ford sedans that served as police cars; the gorgeous black 1936 Oldsmobile convertible with a tan ragtop and the regal 1949 Packard Super 8 limousines that carried Cohen. These rare beauties are stars themselves, bringing an authenticity and aesthetic charm to the screen that no computer graphi... more

Associated Press | Jan 14, 2013

LOS ANGELES - It's not really news that Arnold Schwarzenegger is back this year. Everybody else in Hollywood is, too, so why not the former California governor? Schwarzenegger's back with this month's action tale "The Last Stand," while fellow aging action star Bruce Willis returns in February's "A Good Day to Die Hard," the fifth installment in his "Die Hard" series. Superheroes return throughout the year with "Iron Man 3," "The Wolverine," "Thor: The Dark World" and a new take on Superman with "Man of Steel." Animated pals revisit with follow-ups to "Despicable Me," "Cloudy with a Chance of Meatballs," "The Smurfs," and "Monsters, Inc.... more

Obama Won't Support Building 'Death Star'

Associated Press | Jan 14, 2013

WASHINGTON - A "Death Star" won't be a part of the U.S. military's arsenal any time soon. More than 34,000 people have signed an online petition calling on the Obama administration to build the "Star Wars" inspired super-weapon to spur job growth and bolster national defense. But in a posting Friday on the White House website, Paul Shawcross, an administration adviser on science and space, says a Death Star would cost too much to build - an estimated $850 quadrillion - at a time the White House is working to reduce the federal budget. Besides, Shawcross says, the Obama administration "does not support blowing up planets." The U.S., Sha... more
