"Alice In Wonderland" Royal World Premiere


As previously reported, tonight was the Royal premiere of Anne Hathaway's latest film Alice In Wonderland (which hits theatres next Friday). The event was held at Odeon Leicester Square in London.

Anne looked gorgeous in a sparkling brown dress created by Vivienne Westwood, one of England's most iconic designers. I'm personally a bit iffy on the overall look of her dress. I don't hate it, but I'm underwhelmed. Especially for such a prestigious premiere. I've added a couple of shots below the cut.

You can view photos of Helena Bonham Carter and Mia Wasikowska (looking every bit the belle of the ball in my opinion) on the corresponding links.

Lots more coverage of this event will be provided tomorrow when more media has been released.

4 New "Alice In Wonderland" Clips



IGN and Yahoo! Movies have revealed four more clips from Tim Burton's Alice in Wonderland which you can watch using the players below. Opening in 3D theaters and IMAX 3D on March 5, the fantasy-adventure stars Johnny Depp, Anne Hathaway, Helena Bonham Carter, Crispin Glover, Matt Lucas, Mia Wasikowska, Alan Rickman, Fry, Michael Sheen, Timothy Spall, Christopher Lee, Paul Whitehouse and Barbara Windsor.

The first of the clips features The White Queen in a scene with Alice. I decided to only watch it, and I have to say I'm even more excited to see Miss Anne's portrayal of this character. Looks like she had a lot of fun with the movie!



Was Anne Hathaway Really Up For A "Spider Man 4" Role?


When it comes to the Spider-Man movie franchise these days, it seems like there are far more questions that answers. Are all these casting rumors accurate? Will the king of 3-D, James Cameron, have any influence on how Marc Webb tackles the gig? And did Sam Raimi ever get close enough to rolling cameras that there were concrete plans for the supporting characters ?

Over the years, we’ve spoken with Anne Hathaway many times and always found her to be exactly as you’d expect: Sweet, polite and never one to speak out of school. And when it came time to speak with her last week for the upcoming release of Tim Burton's Alice in Wonderland re-imagining, we remembered that it was our first time talking with the actress since Raimi’s Spider Man 4 plans fell apart. So, it seemed reasonable that Hathaway might finally be willing to reveal how truthful those rumors were about her having a role in the now-canceled film.

Movies Online Interview


MoviesOnline sat down with Helena Bonham Carter, Anne Hathaway and Michael Sheen to talk about their new movie, Alice in Wonderland. Directed by Tim Burton, the epic 3D fantasy adventure is based on Lewis Carroll’s “Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland” originally published in 1865 which changed forever the course of children’s literature.

Helena Bonham Carter plays Iracebeth, The Red Queen and tyrannical monarch of Underland, an amalgam of the Queen of Hearts from “Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland” and the Red Queen from “Through the Looking-Glass.” With her oversized head, fiery temper and propensity to scream for people’s heads to be chopped off, she rules her subjects through fear. “She’s got emotional problems,” says Bonham Carter. “It takes nothing, practically, for her to lose her temper. Her tantrums are that of a two-year-old.”

Anne Hathaway plays Mirana, The White Queen, and younger sister of the Red Queen, who has designs on the throne and crown that Iracebeth once stole from her. While she appears to be all sweetness and light, beneath the surface there’s a hint of darkness to her character. “She comes from the same gene pool as the Red Queen,” says Hathaway. “She really likes the dark side, but she’s so scared of going too far into it that she’s made everything appear very light and happy. But she’s living in that place out of fear that she won’t be able to control herself.” When Alice returns to Underland, the WhiteQueen takes her under her wing, offering her protection, although her motives aren’t completely altruistic.

Ford Warriors in Pink is making its big-screen debut with New Line Cinema’s all-star ensemble film Valentine’s Day to give the gift of hope in the fight against breast cancer this February.

By joining forces with Valentine’s Day, Ford is reaching out to people of all ages with vital messages about breast cancer awareness and the importance of early detection. As a 16-year partner of Susan G. Komen for the Cure, Ford has dedicated more than $105 million to the breast cancer cause and remains committed to innovative ways to drive breast cancer awareness.

“Ford Warriors in Pink actively works on creative efforts to continue the fight against breast cancer 365 days a year,” said Connie Fontaine, Brand Content and Alliances Manager for Ford Motor Company. “The exposure from Valentine’s Day and the strength and unity of the all-star cast heightens the awareness of this important initiative – leading to early detection and saving lives through the funds generated at Fordcares.com.”

“This is a wonderful and rare opportunity to partner with an organization in a promotion that creatively brings attention to a very worthy cause,” said Nicole Sedita, vice president, Warner Bros. National Promotions. “The movie Valentine’s Day is about the one day devoted to expressions of love, and what better way to express how much you care than to support the fight against breast cancer.”

Anne Hathaway's Sex Research


Anne Hathaway spent her free time calling up sex lines to research her role in new movie Valentine’s Day.

In the ensemble movie, Anne plays an office assistant who moonlights as a phone sex operator.

“I actually know someone who was an assistant, as my character is in the movie, and did moonlight as a phone sex operator, so I asked her a lot of questions,” said the Devil Wears Prada star.

“I said, ‘Well I think my character is pretty smart so I think she’ll be the fetish girl.’ So then I started researching about fetishes, and oh my God. There was (sic) so many!

‘”The craziest one that I heard was about a man, who, the only way he could climax, was being yelled at by a woman who was wearing all leather while he was naked under a trenchcoat, on his hands and knees, pushing a hard boiled egg across the floor.”

"Valentine's Day" Sets New Presidents' Day Weekend Record


The ComingSoon.net Box Office Report has been updated with studio estimates for the weekend.

It was widely believed that Garry Marshall's new ensemble romantic comedy Valentine's Day would top the four-day Presidents' Day weekend, but the movie still surprised, earning an estimated $66.9 million from 3,665 theaters for an average of $18,241 per theater. The New Line/Warner Bros. release, made for about $52 million, set a new record for the holiday weekend, surpassing 2007's Ghost Rider, which opened to $52 million over the four days. Valentine's Day's big cast includes Jessica Alba, Kathy Bates, Jessica Biel, Bradley Cooper, Eric Dane, Patrick Dempsey, Hector Elizondo, Jamie Foxx, Jennifer Garner, Topher Grace, Anne Hathaway, Ashton Kutcher, Queen Latifah, Taylor Lautner, George Lopez, Shirley MacLaine, Emma Roberts, Julia Roberts and Taylor Swift. Given the film's success, we're guessing the thematic follow-up titled New Year's Eve will be getting the green light soon.

Anne Hathaway Fancies TV stint


Anne Hathaway has revealed she'd like to work in TV.

The Tinseltown starlet - who received an Oscar nod for her role in Rachel Getting Married - fancies giving it a go on the small screen.

"I just go where the work is good and where the offers are for good work, so if someone were to offer me something wonderful, I would love it," she said.

Anne, who stars in Valentine's Day with Jessica Alba, Taylor Lautner and Julia Roberts, has been inspired by fellow thespian Claire Danes, who portrayed autistic scientist Temple Grandin in a TV biopic.

"I love what Claire Danes did with Temple Grandin," she added.

"I think we should probably adopt the British system where there is more of a symbiosis between theatre, film and television and let the jobs go around. But I just wish there were more jobs for more good actors."

The 27-year-old also revealed she is a fan of Glee and reality show Jersey Shore.

"I relate way too much to the character of Rachel and I love the character of Kurt. It's just fun, musical theatre is the best," she said of Glee.

She added: "And I am obsessed with Jersey Shore, obsessed."

Anne Hathaway Says She Has "Weird Features"


Most people see Anne Hathaway and think she is one of Hollywood's most beautiful young actresses.

But according to her, all she sees is her "weird features." In a new interview for the March issue of InStyle magazine, the 26-year-old shares her thoughts on looks and the endless pressure of Hollywood.

Still, the star of the new film Valentine's Day doesn't let her minor insecurities get her down. In fact, she tells InStyle that at the end of the day, she is happy to be herself, just the way she is.

“I think I’ve got really weird features," she says. "I have very large features on a very small head. But, you know, I’m not going to beat myself up… I look like myself, and I think at the end of the day, as nice as pretty is, authenticity is more important."

Check out our sneak peek of Anne's new photo spread and then be sure to pick up the issue, which hits newsstands February 12.
