Actress Kristanna Loken has established herself as one to call when you need a tough woman who can kick ass, something she established in the 1999 TV series Mortal Kombat: Conquest, followed with playing the T-x in 2003’s Terminator 3: Rise of the Machines. After making a couple movies with the infamous Uwe Boll including Bloodrayne, Loken got the role to play Painkiller Jane in the 2007 Sci-Fi Channel show based on the comics.
While she seemingly hasn’t been as visible in recent years, she can now be seen in the crime-thriller Black Rose, a Russian-American collaborative film that’s finally hitting these shores. It’s directed by, and stars, Russian bodybuilder Alexander Nevsky as a Russian super-cop who is brought to L.A. to help solve the murders of a few Russian women there. He’s partnered with profiler Emily Smith (Loken) as they try to find clues to find the ruthless killer.

David Ellison first created Skydance Productions for his own 2005 directorial debut When All Else Fails, but Skydance Media really started making waves in 2010 when it teamed up with Paramount Pictures for the Coen Brothers Western True Grit.
It went on to become the highest grossing Western ever and cemented the relationship between Skydance Media with Paramount who teamed-up for World War Z, G.I. Joe: Retaliation, and other franchises like Star Trek and 2014’s Terminator: Genisys. (Obviously, some of those movies did better than others.)
For his new science fiction movie Life, based on an idea that Ellison came up with, he’s teamed with Sony Pictures, bringing together a cast that includes Jake Gyllenhaal, Ryan Reynolds and Rebecca Ferguson as part of the crew of the International Space Station who must examine a sample of life that’s been brought back from Mars.

If you were alive in the ‘80s or ‘90s, it was impossible to avoid the ever-presence of Dutch filmmaker Paul Verhoeven, whether it was science fiction hits Robocop, Total Recall and Starship Troopers or his erotic thriller Basic Instinct. His 1995 film Showgirls has alternately been cited as a campy classic and one of the worst films ever made.
After 2000’s Hollow Man, Verhoeven turned his back on Hollywood, in a sense, by returning to Holland to make the World War II film Black Book with Carice Van Houten (Game of Thrones), but now Verhoeven is back with Elle, a French revenge thriller starring French femme fatale Isabelle Huppert as a woman raped in her home who decides to get revenge in a rather unconventional way.

The Motion Picture & Television Fund is 95 years old. “Not as old as my father (Kirk Douglas),” Michael Douglas quipped on Thursday night at the annual “Reel Stories, Real Lives” event held at the Milk Studios in Hollywood. Douglas’ cocktail of humor livened up tales of the grim realities of showbiz careers that fade to black, which epitomized the colorful case studies presented by Mptf and delivered by stars like Cuba Gooding Jr., Danny DeVito, and Bryce Dallas Howard. “As you get older, you realize not everyone’s career is going to be autographs and sunglasses,” Douglas told TheWrap on his way in to Milk Studios.

Donna Douglas, the actress who played tomboyish Elly May Clampett on The Beverly Hillbillies, died Thursday in her native Louisiana, according to reports. She was 81. Family members confirmed the death to Wfab-9, telling the news station she died at her home in Zachary, Louisiana, with family members by her side. Douglas earned nationwide fame as Elly May, and told the Associated Press in 2009 that she beat out 500 other actresses for the role in part because the character's story mirrored her humble beginnings as a poor farm girl with Southern roots. Her audition included her expertly milking a goat, per request.

The Weinstein Co. paid a reported Us$2 million for North American rights to The Railway Man after its world premiere at the Toronto International Film Festival last September . but has waited more than six months to launch the film in the Us.
Us film critic/commentator Edward Douglas, who is a big fan of Jonathan Teplitzky's drama, has questioned that strategy.
.What I don't get about this movie is that the Weinstein Company picked it up at Toronto last September when they concurrently premiered a number of their movies like August: Osage County and Mandela: Long Walk to Freedom, which aren't nearly as good,. Douglas writes in his website ComingSoon.net.
Douglas praised the performances of Colin Firth as Eddie Lomax, the WWII prisoner-of-war veteran who confronts one of his Japanese tormentors 40 years later, Nicole Kidman as his wife and Hiro Sanada as his nemesis.
