Dreamworks Will Give Us Need For Speed Movie In The Future

Movies have been a necessary part of our lives, they may be also the best way to entain us. Until now, movies have developed so many years, and to satisfy our requirement, the technologies are always developing all the time. Now a Need for Speed movie is in the works. Dreamworks has acquired the movie rights to the franchise, and EA will produce along with John Gatins and Mark Sourian. Scott Waugh (Act of Valor) is attached to direct, and the project will be fast-tracked at DreamWorks with a target production start date for early next year, for a 2014 release.

I believe that we all know about Dreamworks on the earth, it can make our all kinds of dreams come true. This time, the speed film won't be based on a specific Need for Speed game, but is planned instead as a "fast-paced, high-octane film rooted in the tradition of the great car culture films of the 70s while being extremely faithful to the spirit of the video game franchise."

"I'm excited about getting back into the creative trenches with John and George Gatins and my partners at EA to bring to life an exhilarating script based on an epic video game that seems to have been made for the movies," said Steven Spielberg, DreamWorks Chairman. "This is a big piece of business for DreamWorks and we are grateful to Frank Gibeau, Pat O'Brien, Kevin Maher and John and George for choosing us to deliver their goods."

"It's fantastic to be working with a team that shares not only our love of cars, but also our passion for creating blockbuster action experiences. This collaboration will be greatly enhanced with the team at DreamWorks -- which is a great home for the Need for Speed franchise," said Patrick Soderlund, Executive Vice President, EA Games Label. Added Pat O'Brien, Vice President of EA Entertainment: "Working with John and George to develop the script has truly been an outstanding experience."

I'm so torn on the idea of this movie. On the one hand, I'm a huge fan of 1970s car movies, but on the other, games based on video games are almost always terrible. I think it's a wise decision to not make the movie based on a specific game, though. Stories for video games and stories for movie are often two different things, so maybe this movie will actually be good. Let's hope it happens.

Which Actress Do You Want To See In The 65th Cannes Film Festival Red Carpet

Jane Fonda, Eva Longoria and Lana Del Rey were among the famous faces on the red carpet at the opening night gala of this year's Cannes Film Festival.
　　
They and a host of other stars were on hand to see Moonrise Kingdom, the new film from US director Wes Anderson, launch the annual cinema showcase.
　　

Bruce Willis, Bill Murray and Britain's Tilda Swinton joined other cast members at the movie's glitzy premiere.
　　
The film is one of 22 in contention for Cannes' prestigious Palme d'Or award.
　　
Reactions to Anderson's latest have been broadly positive, with The Guardian's Peter Bradshaw saluting "a soufflé of strangeness [that] rises superbly".
　　
The Telegraph's David Gritten was similarly effusive, describing it as "a mood elevator of a movie" and "an ideal opener" for this year's event.
　　
Moonrise Kingdom was a suitable curtain-raiser for a festival in which US films and directors are heavily represented.
　　
Speaking at a news conference in Cannes to launch Chinese Zodiac, Chan told reporters: "This will be my last big action movie."
　　
The Hong Kong-born actor, 58, added: "The world is too violent now. I love fighting but I hate violence."
　　
The film, due for release in December, is the third in Chan's Armour of God series.
　　
The first film was released in 1987, with Chan playing the Indiana Jones-style character Asian Hawk.
　　
"I want the audience to know I'm not just about fighting, also I can act. And so, day by day, year by year, I said, 'Right, I'm going to show you the real Jackie Chan.'"
　　
Last year, he starred opposite Will Smith's son Jaden Smith in the remake of The Karate Kid, in the role of Smith's mentor Mr Miyagi.
　　
The 65th edition of the Cannes Film Festival runs from 16 to 27 May 2012.
　　
The great and good of the global film industry are gathered on the French Riviera for the annual event, which sees premieres from Wes Anderson, Ken Loach and David Cronenberg, amongst others.
　　
The BBC's Kev Geoghegan is there, too, reporting on the red carpet glamour and behind-the-scenes deals at the festival.
　　
Much comedy is provided by the supporting cast, in particular Gary Maitland as the sweetly daft Albert.
　　
Roger Allam is perhaps the best-known actor, playing whisky dealer Thaddeus.
　　
In truth, the film could have been made 10 years ago and the use of The Proclaimers' 500 Miles, though a personal favourite, grates a little as there are surely enough contemporary Scottish bands around who could have been used in the soundtrack.
　　
Loach won the Palme d'Or in 2006 and it is unlikely that The Angel's Share will repeat that success.
　　
But its light-hearted tone may lift its appeal for a mainstream audience.

She documented her experiences for a magazine in a 2011 article titled `Eat, Play, Love`, a play on the title of the book `Eat, Pray, Love` which became a movie starring Hollywood star Julia Roberts.

The piece impressed officials at the New York Association of Black Journalists, who have now honoured the star with a writing prize for her efforts. The singer will be handed the award in the Big Apple on May 15 May.

Beyonce was named the World’s Most Beautiful Woman in 2012 by People magazine on Wednesday, marking the ninth time the pop diva has made the People list.

After a year that saw Beyonce give birth to new baby daughter, Blue Ivy carter, with husband Jay-Z, Peoplehonored Beyonce this week as the World’s Most Beautiful Woman 2012 for the magazine’s special double issue.

“I feel more beautiful than I’ve ever felt because I’ve given birth,” Beyonce told People in an exclusive interview for the issue. “I have never felt so connected, never felt like I had such a purpose on this earth.”

Beyonce joins a list of past Most Beautiful Women honored by People that includes Julia Roberts (13 appearances) and Nicole Kidman. The 30-year-old singer, who was recently named 'the world's most beautiful woman' by Peoplemagazine, looked carefree as she strolled out of her office building with her blonde hair left out in a loose mane while bouncing along in leopard print flat shoes.

After leaving her office, Bey and Jiggaman were seen making their way to a party in an apartment near Central Park, where guests included Jake Gyllenhaal and Sarah Jessica Parker.

During an interview for the magazine which honoured her with the flattering title, Beyonce revealed that since the birth of her daughter Blue Ivy, she has been opting for a more natural look as her husband Jay-Z prefers her that way.

A Whole Year Has Passed Since The Royal Wedding Of Prince William And Catherine Middleton

Catherine Middleton, 29, marries Prince William, 28, at London's Westminster Abbey, as people watch around the world. Her dress, which was kept under wraps until the day of the ceremony, was a lace and satin creation by Sarah Burton for Alexander McQueen. She also wore a silk tulle veil with a trim of hand-embroidered flowers, held in place by a Cartier "halo" tiara, lent to Middleton by Queen Elizabeth II. The bride's diamond drop earrings were a personal gift to Middleton from her parents for her wedding day.

After the ceremony, the couple traveled in the 1902 State Landau carriage back to Buckingham Palace, where they kissed (twice!) for the cheering crowds and royal-watchers around the world from the palace balcony. An afternoon luncheon followed, and then a second reception (with another Alexander McQueen gown) later that evening.

The next day, William and Kate, now the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge, left Buckingham Palace by helicopter for a private weekend in an undisclosed location. The honeymoon would come a bit later.

Fresh from their honeymoon, Prince William and Kate took on their first royal duties as newlyweds: meeting with President Barack Obama and first lady Michelle Obama. The royal couple met the president and first lady at Buckingham Palace as part of the Obamas' two-day state visit to Britain at the invitation of Queen Elizabeth II.

The royal newlyweds return to the Buckingham Palace balcony - the same spot where they kissed for the crowds on their wedding day - to participate in the Trooping the Colour ceremony, the official celebration of Queen Elizabeth II's birthday.

The busy weekend also found William and Kate heading to Windsor, England, to celebrate Prince Philip's 90th birthday with other members of the royal family.

The dress Kate wore during the gathering - a cap-sleeved, caramel-colored frock by British retailer Reiss that retailed for $340, sold out online hours after photos hit the Internet - and it wouldn't be the last time she sparked a shopping frenzy.

The Duke and Duchess of Cambridge received a rousing welcome at every stop. Trip highlights included the couple celebrating Canada Day on Parliament Hill in Ottawa, making lobster souffle in Montreal, racing in dragon boats on Prince Edward Island, canoeing in the Northwest Territories and donning cowboy hats at the Calgary Stampede in Alberta.

The royal couple departed Canada following their nine-day tour, and traveled to California for a three-day visit in the Los Angeles area. It was Kate's first visit to the United States.

The Duke and Duchess of Cambridge's stay included meeting with British and American entrepreneurs, a polo match in Santa Barbara, a visit to an inner-city school in downtown Los Angeles' Skid Row area and job fair for military veterans, but the highlight was the star-studded, black tie BAFTA Brits to Watch gala at the Belasco Theater. For that event, Kate donned a stunning lavender gown by Alexander McQueen, while William looked dapper in a double-breasted tuxedo.

The former Kate Middleton takes on her first charity role as a royal. She's officially named a patron of the Foundation of Prince William and Prince Harry. Her position was approved at a board of trustees meeting on Sept. 29.

The Foundation of Prince William and Prince Harry is used to raise funds for causes that the princes (and now, Kate) support.


A whole year has passed since The Royal Wedding - and we thought it would be the perfect excuse to take a regal trip down memory lane and look at every photo of Kate and Wills ever. We doubt the royal couple's own photo album is this comprehensive

"She bought the Jesire dress from here - we remember having it in and were really excited when we saw Kate on TV wearing it," a shop assistant told Grazia. "None of the Middletons have ever come into the store though, so Kate must have a secret shopper. Whoever it is, we hope she contunues shopping here!" The boutique, close to Kate's family home in Bucklebury, is also a favourite of Sarah Ferguson, who used to send one of her aides there on bargain hunting trips. And this isn't the first time Kate's demonstrated decidedly thrifty behaviour. She's famously fond of the Great British High Street, and has been seen re-wearing outfits on more than one occasion. Plus, according to Grazia, that blue Missoni coat that she wore during the Fortnum & Mason visit last week was actually picked up at an outlet store in Bicester Village. (We DID think high-end Italian designer was a tad out of character, now it makes sense.)

The Former “Transformers” Star Has Been Tired Of Playing Sexy, Robotic Women

Almost everyone can agree that Megan Fox has been going through a rough patch recently. Whether she's being accused of having excessive plastic surgery done or being fired for comparing her boss to Hitler, this actress quickly transgressed from being the next big thing, to the next big flop. Sure, she hasn't lost a lot of her dedicated male fans because they still worship her as an incredible sex symbol, but she is a far cry from role model material and has a dwindling acting career. Apparently, all of that is about to change for this Foxy lady. In a recent interview for the September issue of Amica Magazine, the actress claims to revamping her career and starting fresh which includes making some changes in her life.This marks the second report that Megan is pregnant. Just last month, Star Magazine also claimed the actress and Brian were expecting their first child together.

The former “Transformers” star told Access Hollywood at the premiere of “Friends with Kids” in New York City earlier this year that she was hoping to have “at least two, maybe three” children.

She also said she was leaving the timing up to a higher authority. “It’s up to God,” she smiled. “It’s gonna happen when it’s supposed to happen.” Megan already has parenting skills under her belt. She’s been helping Brian raise his son Kassius (his mom is Vanessa Marcil Giovinazzo). “I have an 8-year-old, he was 2 at the time, when Megan and I met,” Brian told Access Hollywood Live’s Billy Bush and Kit Hoover during a visit in 2010. “She helped me raise him and it’s a huge responsibility. There was a lot to it.” Brian went on to call his wife “amazing” and “unique,” and hinted she is – despite her glamorous image – a homebody.

“The most important thing in the world to her is family and private time and not this,” he said in 2010. “We go to these events. She goes to premieres and literally will walk the red carpet, walk out the back door and go home and take off all the stuff and then we’ll go have dinner somewhere or go see a movie.”

Over the past few years Megan Fox has been considered of the sexiest stars in Hollywood/your little brother. But the actress admits it's a title she's a little tired of having and is ready to get in touch with her Hot Funny Girl side rather than just her Hot Girl side. In addition to starring in the recent romantic comedy Friends With Kids (playing a sexy mean girl) the 25-year-old star will next make an appearance in Sacha Baron Cohen’s new comedy The Dictator where she'll play a hooker, once and for all proving to the the world just how versatile an actress she is.

No one would have suspected America's favorite sex symbol would want so badly to be the butt of a joke, but Fox assures fans that she never enjoyed feeling obligated to live up to the serious, sex-vixen image. “I just didn’t know how to handle the attention or make that image work for me," the Jennifer's Bodystar revealed, "I felt I was suddenly living a double life and I was expected to behave a certain way. I just couldn’t be like that."

But it's not just her image Fox is hoping to change, but her fan base and the public's opinion about her, as well. “I think the public can relate to me more easily in these kinds of movies," Fox said, “Doing comedies has been a great change of pace for me and I’m interested to see how audiences react to seeing me in these kinds of films."

Matt Patches has posed the question before asking "Can Megan Fox really pull off being funny?" She certainly seems to think so, but more response to her small role in The Dictator may answer that question to remaining skeptics once and for all. The comedy hits theaters May 16. Hey, eyes down here, buddy!

The actress also seems to be looking a lot healthier these days and has reportedly gained 10 pounds, which looks great on her. While on her strict vegan diet, she appeared to look a little skeletal, but now that she's back to eating more like a normal human she's filled out and is back to looking gorgeous.
