Next year, the original cast and director of the 1996 film Trainspotting will reunite on-screen for T2 Trainspotting , with the films first trailer surfacing Thursday. In an homage to the original, a voiceover declares, choose life, before providing a modern twist: Choose Facebook, Twitter, Instagram and hope that someone, somewhere cares. Time may have passed, but little else in the Trainspotting world seems to have changed: the clip is full of drug use, sex, mayhem and Underworlds Born Slippy, all of which were central to the first movies appeal. T2 is based on author Irvine Welshs book Porno , his sequel to the Trainspotting novel. While Porno is set a decade after the original action, T2 sticks closer to the real-life timeline, bringing the characters together 20 years later. John Hodge, who penned the original film, and director Danny Boyle both return for the sequel. Its one of the best scripts Ive fucking read, Robert Carlyle, who plays Begbie in the movie, told NME last year...

The reporter said he triple checked his legitimate sources, though they didnt seem to know whether Ford would simply make a cameo or if hed have a larger part in the film. Other cast members from the original Star Wars trilogy, including Mark Hamill and Carrie Fisher, have also reportedly signed on to return as Luke Skywalker and Pricess Leia, in the forthcoming J.J. Abrams-directed film . Disney bought the Star Wars franchise from Lucasfilm last October for more than $4 billion and announced plans for three new films to be set after the original trilogy. The Wizard of Star Wars: Rolling Stone s 1977 Cover Story on Creator George Lucas The next Star Wars movie, Episode VII , is currently being written by Oscar winner Michael Arndt and isset for release some time in 2015. In addition to a trio of film...

Theres a new breed of varmint ready to blast it out at the Obama Corral, if thats what it takes to hold tight to their stock options and megabonuses. Yup, Im talking bankers. Thats real evil, baby. Gone are the days when banks were content to simply foreclose on an old ladys mortgage.Wearing Brioni suits, silk ties and the unruffled expressions of the professionally soulless,the bank chiefs in The International are happy to abuse power and our money by financing an arms deal or a revolution or, hell, even a new vacation home. And if they screw up, so what? Even foreign banks with U.S. ties can qualify for a bailout. Welcome to economic Armageddon. The International , a decent thriller that should have been dazzling, is nothing if not topical. And sexy, too, thanks to the star presence of intrepid Clive Owen as Louis Salinger, an Interpol agent who teams up with Naomi Watts as ...

If any actor deserves a grand tribute in New Jersey, its the late Sopranos star James Gandolfini. This past Sunday, December 1st, was christened James Gandolfini Day in the actors hometown of Park Ridge, New Jersey and many of his former castmates were in attendance. Edie Falco Fights Back Tears During James Gandolfini Tribute at Emmys According to local newspaper the Record , the local Borough Council organized the tribute, which also featured appearances from Sopranos cast members Steve Schirripa, Tony Sirico, Dominic Chianese, Vincent Curatola, Vincent Pastore and John Ventimiglia, along with hundreds of locals. A stretch of Park Avenue was also dedicated to Gandolfini, who died in June after suffering a massive heart attack while vacationing in Italy. The event was certainly emotional: Michael Gandolfini, the actors 14-year-old son, spoke about his fathers love of his hometown and reminisced about eating at the Park Ridge diner, one of his fathers favorite restaurants. He just tol...

A big thank-you indeed for this acutely hilarious film version of Christopher Buckleys novel about a certain Dr. Spin and how he learned to stop worrying and love the butt. Directed and written by first-timer Jason Reitman, the generously gifted son of Ghostbusters impresario Ivan, Thank You for Smoking mines comic gold from a topic thats no laughing matter. Aaron Eckhart is a fierce and funny dynamo as Nick Naylor, a tobacco lobbyist who enjoys comparing notes with Polly (marvelous Maria Bello) she sells alcohol and Bobby Jay (deadpan David Koechner) he hustles guns. These Merchants of Death (the MOD Squad) verbally skewer the liberal do-gooders whod like to hoist them on their own lethal petards. Nick is the first among equals, despite the disdain of his ex-wife (Kim Dickens), who hates him inculcating their son (Cameron Bright) in his unholy crusade. Nick should be smart enough to dodge hottie reporter Heather Holloway (Katie Holmes), but his dick leads him astray when she stri...

The only thing I can figure about last nights Golden Globes TV show is that those Hollywood Foreign Press jerks called a last-minute meeting and, like a whore picked up by the cops with a johns pants already unzipped, tried to get respectable fast. It wasnt just the media, including me, ragging on them mercilessly last week: It was their former publicist Michael Russell suing them for $2 million because he had objected over the years to unethical and potentially unlawful deals under which members of the so-called nonprofit association profit by taking payments from studios or producers to lobby fellow members for votes. Hey, hasnt that been an open secret for decades? Photos: 2011 Golden Globes My theory is the HFPA called an emergency confab, changed their ballots and picked winners that would jibe with the critics and the Oscars. They showered The Social Network with awards they didnt mean. How could an organization that nominates The Tourist and Burlesque for Best Movie have a ge...
