Celebrity Biography: Amber Benson
30 November 2009 6:39 AM, PST | PopStar | See recent PopStar news »
Amber Nicole Benson was born on January 8, 1977, to Edward and Diane Benson, and today is an actress, screenwriter, producer, director, playwright, and author who's most famous for her role as Tara Maclay on the long-running television series Buffy the Vampire Slayer (TV). Benson was both born and raised in Birmingham, Alabama, and it was there that she first discovered her interest in the arts, as she studied dance, music, and acting. "When I was a little kid I saw The Nutcracker Suite and desperately wanted to get on the stage," Benson told AfterEllen.com. "That was the beginning of the end for me." A family move to Orlando, Florida led to several opportunities, but work and success followed yet another move, this time to Los Angeles. Benson was still in her teens when her acting career started to take off. She played Nicole Reed in several made-for-tv Jack Reed movies starring Brian Dennehy, »

A bar on North Avenue
5 October 2009 6:41 AM, PDT | blogs.suntimes.com/ebert | See recent Roger Ebert's Blog news »
O'Rourke's was our stage, and we displayed our personas there nightly. It was a shabby street-corner tavern on a dicey stretch of North Avenue, a block after Chicago's Old Town stopped being a tourist haven. In its early days it was heated by a wood-burning pot-bellied stove, and ice formed on the insides of the windows. One night a kid from the street barged in, whacked a customer in the front booth with a baseball bat, and ran out again. When a roomer who lived upstairs died, his body was discovered when maggots started to drop through the ceiling. A man nobody knew was shot dead one night out in back. From the day it opened on December 30, 1966 until the day I stopped drinking in 1979, I drank there more or less every night when I was in town. So did a lot of people.

Liam Neeson Joins Russell Crowe in 'Next Three Days'
5 October 2009 3:39 AM, PDT | GetTheBigPicture.net | See recent Get The Big Picture news »
Probably because he led the biggest pre-summer movie of the year, Liam Neeson is being sought out for all sorts of roles. The A-Team and Clash of the Titans were big pick-ups for him, and following the shocking death of his wife, Natasha Richardson, Neeson might be looking to work just for the distraction.
Those are kind of larger-than-life movies, though, where a lot of the expectation is for explosions and action. Neeson has just signed on for something that could be a little different. He'll join Russell Crowe in Paul Haggis' new thriller The Next Three Days. Variety has some plot details and more casting news, including Olivia Wilde, Brian Dennehy, RZA, and Daniel Stern.
"Russell Crowe [plays] a teacher whose wife (Elizabeth Banks) is arrested for a gruesome murder she says she didn’t commit," writes the trade. "Several years of incarceration leaves her suicidal and he plots to break her out. »

Liam Neeson Joins Everyone Else in Paul Haggis’ The Next Three Days
4 October 2009 8:39 PM, PDT | Collider.com | See recent Collider.com news »
It was inevitable, really. Paul Haggis’ upcoming film, “The Next Three Days” stars Russell Crowe and Elizabeth Banks but it has its claws in any actor it can find including Olivia Wilde, Jonathan Tucker, rapper RZA and even Brian Dennehy, a man who is subject to neither time nor space. Now it’s found Liam Neeson who is currently planning to rule 2010 with an iron fist with his roles in “Clash of the Titans” and “The A-Team”. Neeson’s role is a “cameo in nature” as he plays a man who escaped from prison several times and wrote a book about it. This becomes helpful to an escape plan from Crowe’s character, a college professor and husband of a woman (Banks) who’s in prison for a murder she says she didn’t commit. I hope Neeson’s book also comes with a rock hammer and a full-size poster of Rita Hayworth. »

Haggis Adds Three To The Next Three Days
24 September 2009 3:23 PM, PDT | cinemablend.com | See recent Cinema Blend news »
Paul Haggis nabbed three more actors for his remake of the 2008 film Pour Elle called The Next Three Days. Wait, a remake of a film from 2008? No, Haggis isn.t getting ahead of himself; Pour Elle is a French thriller; odds are, nobody in the Us has seen it. According to THR, Haggis recruited eight-year-old Ty Simpkins to play the son of Elizabeth Banks and Russell Crowe.s characters. Their marriage is put to the test when Banks. character is accused of a murder she claims she didn.t commit. She.s thrown in jail and her husband devises a risky plan to free her. Tony winner Brian Dennehy is still in negotiations to play Crowe.s character.s father while rapper RZA has signed on, but his role is unknown. Great for Simpkins, Dennehy and RZA, but I still think Haggis should have chosen Diane Kruger for the leading »
Paul Haggis Hires Three For His Pic The Next Three Days
24 September 2009 12:18 PM, PDT | Slash Film | See recent Slash Film news »
It's difficult for me to get very excited for a new Paul Haggis directorial project. The stain of Crash stays with me. But The Next Three Days could be interesting. It's a remake of a 2008 French film Pour Elle by Fred Cavaye about a couple that has some problems when the woman is imprisoned for a murder she says she didn't commit. Russell Crowe and Elizabeth Banks are the headliners, but three more have just been added to the cast. THR reports that the RZA is one of the three. No, I didn't see that one coming, either. Also on board is a kid named Ty Simpkins, from Little Children and Revolutionary Road, and far more interesting is the final add: Brian Dennehy. I feel like I haven't seen Dennehy do much in a while, but that's because I missed Righteous Kill. He's negotiating to come on board as the »

Quick Hits: Raimi Takes Refuge, He-Man Finds Home, Three More for Three Days

Got a horror movie? Sam Raimi would like to produce it, even if the premise sounds like something that would show up as a SyFy Channel Original Movie — and no, that ain’t a compliment. Raimi’s Ghost House Pictures will be producing a creature feature from British director Corin Hardy called “Refuge”, about a small remote town terrorized by a giant, hairy Yeti. Let’s just hope the Yeti doesn’t turn out to be a military experiment gone wrong, cause, you know, that tends to happen a lot in SyFy Channel Original Movies. In casting news, Paul Haggis’ remake of the French film “Pour Elle” has added three more names to its cast. They are young Ty Simpkins, who will be playing the son of Russell Crowe and Elizabeth Banks, Brian Dennehy as Crowe’s dad, and rapper RZA of the Wu Tang Clan, whose role in the thriller is unknown. »
