Rum Diaries Delayed Because of Pirates and Press?
Source: Film School Rejects
One of the many films that Oscar watchers have been talking about may not see the light of day until next year. Rum Diaries for a while now has been pegged as a film with Oscar chances written all over it, but even if it lives up to what plenty are saying, just don’t expect to see on during next year’s Oscar broadcast considering we may very well not be seeing it until 2011.
That’s what Aaron Eckhart told me and one of the possible reasons why: Depp is off shooting Pirates 4 and that renders him unavailable to do press. Eckhart sounded pretty unsure about the release date, and he had this to say.
“I don’t know. I heard next year that’s [when] it’s going to come out. Johnny is making Pirates of the Caribbean and I think that he’s too busy to promote something right now. He’s working in Hawaii. I think they’re going to wait to put it out next year.”
This makes pretty crystal clear sense. Depp is a publicity juggernaut and him promoting a film certainly wont hurt its chances of success. Still, it means that a film is being delayed from seeing the light of day because the main actor won’t be around to toss into a press conference.
I’m sure any Hunter S. Thompson fan will find this as sad news, but who knows, maybe Depp could become available by year’s end. This still isn’t anything official, but from what Eckhart says, we most likely won’t have us some Rum Diaries this year…

Aaron Eckhart on Jen Aniston’s Signature “Sweetness & Innocence”
Source: OK! Magazine
July 23rd, 2010 1:47 pm / Author: Patricia Ramos
She doesn’t have the nickname “America’s Sweetheart” for no reason. Jennifer Aniston’s former co-star Aaron Eckhart opened up to OK! about the 41-year-old beauty’s charismatic nature and why her good vibes are so contagious!
“Jen has a sweetness and an innocence in a reality that no other person has,” Aaron told OK! exclusively about his Love Happens co-star at the Battle: Los Angeles panel during Comic-Con 2010 Thursday in San Diego.
“She has the ability to be the girl next door as well as this adventurous [side],” Aaron continued. “You’d think that she was just going to live quietly in a white picket fence and two cars, and then she’s off jet-setting with rockstars and this kind of stuff.”
Aaron had no problem expressing his feelings for Jen, who he immediately felt a connection to.
“She has this duality in her that people are attracted to. She won me over the second I met her.”

“Battle: Los Angeles” Wows Comic-Con Crowd

SAN DIEGO (Hollywood Reporter) – Sony unveiled its first look Thursday for “Battle: Los Angeles,” the studio’s “Black Hawk Down”-meets-”District 9″ take on a space invasion.
The March 2011 release doesn’t have the big stars like the actioner “Red” nor the big comic-book brand name of “Green Lantern” or “The Avengers,” so audiences at the annual Comic-Con gathering were unsure what to expect.
The extended clips, however, with their embedded-Marine aesthetic, combined with a destruction of Los Angeles on a massive scale, seemed to put the movie on people’s radars.
The scenes only hinted at the look of the aliens and Jonathan Liebesman, onstage with producer Neal Moritz and actors Aaron Echkhart and Michelle Rodriguez, said he wanted to create aliens that were not creatures nor insects.
“We wanted something that literally alien,” he said. “We designed something that had an almost a hint of biomechanical to it. And I haven’t seen anything like this before.”
The point-of-view look generated a lot of discussion during the Q&A.
“When I saw 40 minutes of this the other day, I literally grabbed my hands like an Xbox,” described Rodriguez. “It’s really like a first-person shooter game.”
Eckhart, meanwhile, said he was convinced to do the movie by Liebesman, who showed him a presentation involving soldiers doing urban combat in Fallujah to show how he wanted to shoot the movie.
“We made a war movie. With aliens. Jonathan brought me to the part.”

‘Batman 3′ Can Go In ‘Any Direction,’ ‘Dark Knight’ Star Aaron Eckhart Says
Source: MTV
Jul 22 2010 7:55 PM EDT 16
By Terri Schwartz, with reporting by Josh Horowitz
SAN DIEGO — Any news that will come out of Comic-Con about Christopher Nolan’s upcoming “Batman 3.” project will most likely be presented at Saturday’s Warner Bros. panel, but that didn’t stop MTV News’ Josh Horowitz from trying to get some information from “The Dark Knight” star Aaron Eckhart. The actor who played “Batman” villain Harvey “Two-Face” Dent stopped by to chat with MTV about his 2011 flick “Battle: Los Angeles,” and talk quickly turned to his upcoming projects.
Turns out, Eckhart doesn’t have anything on the docket for March or April of next year, when “Batman 3″ is allegedly set to begin filming.
“I’ll give Chris a shout-out. You know, I’m available,” Eckhart said, earning a laugh from his “Battle: Los Angeles” co-star Michelle Rodriguez. “Or [James] Cameron. Ridley Scott. ['Battle: Los Angeles' director] Jonathan [Liebesman]; I don’t know what he’s doing. I’m available.”
Since Two-Face was last seen dead at the end of “The Dark Knight,” it isn’t a big surprise that Eckhart isn’t the most knowledgeable about Nolan’s plans, but any comic book fan will say that “death” is never the end for villains. The loss of Heath Ledger, whose Joker was supposed to return in “Batman 3,” however, did mean Nolan had to find a new villain to be the centerpiece of the final installment in the rebooted franchise.
“Obviously, the script was meant to bring back Heath, and unfortunately that can’t happen, so I think starting over is a good thing,” Eckhart said. “I’m excited to see. Chris is up against it, because he made such a good movie with ‘The Dark Knight,’ that he’s got to really come up with something good.”
Speculation about the “Batman 3″ villain started immediately after “The Dark Knight” was released, and the latest rumor pins “Inception” star Joseph Gordon-Levitt as the Riddler. Eckhart couldn’t speak to that rumor specifically but said he thought that the opportunity to start fresh was good for the film.
“Chris, he’s an exceptional filmmaker from start to finish,” he said. “Whenever I hear stuff like that [Joseph Gordon-Levitt as the Riddler], if Johnny Depp’s going to play the Riddler, I’m into it. I feel like he can go in any direction.”
When asked if he thinks his time is done in the franchise, Eckhart avoided the question by giving a shout-out to Rodriguez being in the film. Horowitz asked if she should play Catwoman, Poison Ivy or Harley Quinn, but Rodriguez wasn’t having it.
“I say we come up with our own superheroes,” she said. “I think it’s time for something new, man.”

SAN DIEGO — Any news that will come out of Comic-Con about Christopher Nolan’s upcoming “Batman 3.” project will most likely be presented at Saturday’s Warner Bros. panel, but that didn’t stop MTV News’ Josh Horowitz from trying to get some information from “The Dark Knight” star Aaron Eckhart. The actor who played “Batman” villain Harvey “Two-Face” Dent stopped by to chat with MTV about his 2011 flick “Battle: Los Angeles,” and talk quickly turned to his upcoming projects.
Turns out, Eckhart doesn’t have anything on the docket for March or April of next year, when “Batman 3″ is allegedly set to begin filming.
“I’ll give Chris a shout-out. You know, I’m available,” Eckhart said, earning a laugh from his “Battle: Los Angeles” co-star Michelle Rodriguez. “Or [James] Cameron. Ridley Scott. ['Battle: Los Angeles' director] Jonathan [Liebesman]; I don’t know what he’s doing. I’m available.”
Since Two-Face was last seen dead at the end of “The Dark Knight,” it isn’t a big surprise that Eckhart isn’t the most knowledgeable about Nolan’s plans, but any comic book fan will say that “death” is never the end for villains. The loss of Heath Ledger, whose Joker was supposed to return in “Batman 3,” however, did mean Nolan had to find a new villain to be the centerpiece of the final installment in the rebooted franchise.
“Obviously, the script was meant to bring back Heath, and unfortunately that can’t happen, so I think starting over is a good thing,” Eckhart said. “I’m excited to see. Chris is up against it, because he made such a good movie with ‘The Dark Knight,’ that he’s got to really come up with something good.”
Speculation about the “Batman 3″ villain started immediately after “The Dark Knight” was released, and the latest rumor pins “Inception” star Joseph Gordon-Levitt as the Riddler. Eckhart couldn’t speak to that rumor specifically but said he thought that the opportunity to start fresh was good for the film.
“Chris, he’s an exceptional filmmaker from start to finish,” he said. “Whenever I hear stuff like that [Joseph Gordon-Levitt as the Riddler], if Johnny Depp’s going to play the Riddler, I’m into it. I feel like he can go in any direction.”
When asked if he thinks his time is done in the franchise, Eckhart avoided the question by giving a shout-out to Rodriguez being in the film. Horowitz asked if she should play Catwoman, Poison Ivy or Harley Quinn, but Rodriguez wasn’t having it.
“I say we come up with our own superheroes,” she said. “I think it’s time for something new, man.”

Aaron Eckhart on Jen Aniston’s Signature “Sweetness & Innocence”
Source: OK! Magazine
July 23rd, 2010 1:47 pm / Author: Patricia Ramos
She doesn’t have the nickname “America’s Sweetheart” for no reason. Jennifer Aniston’s former co-star Aaron Eckhart opened up to OK! about the 41-year-old beauty’s charismatic nature and why her good vibes are so contagious!
“Jen has a sweetness and an innocence in a reality that no other person has,” Aaron told OK! exclusively about his Love Happens co-star at the Battle: Los Angeles panel during Comic-Con 2010 Thursday in San Diego.
“She has the ability to be the girl next door as well as this adventurous [side],” Aaron continued. “You’d think that she was just going to live quietly in a white picket fence and two cars, and then she’s off jet-setting with rockstars and this kind of stuff.”
Aaron had no problem expressing his feelings for Jen, who he immediately felt a connection to.
“She has this duality in her that people are attracted to. She won me over the second I met her.”

SAN DIEGO (Hollywood Reporter) – Sony unveiled its first look Thursday for “Battle: Los Angeles,” the studio’s “Black Hawk Down”-meets-”District 9″ take on a space invasion.
The March 2011 release doesn’t have the big stars like the actioner “Red” nor the big comic-book brand name of “Green Lantern” or “The Avengers,” so audiences at the annual Comic-Con gathering were unsure what to expect.
The extended clips, however, with their embedded-Marine aesthetic, combined with a destruction of Los Angeles on a massive scale, seemed to put the movie on people’s radars.
The scenes only hinted at the look of the aliens and Jonathan Liebesman, onstage with producer Neal Moritz and actors Aaron Echkhart and Michelle Rodriguez, said he wanted to create aliens that were not creatures nor insects.
“We wanted something that literally alien,” he said. “We designed something that had an almost a hint of biomechanical to it. And I haven’t seen anything like this before.”
The point-of-view look generated a lot of discussion during the Q&A.
“When I saw 40 minutes of this the other day, I literally grabbed my hands like an Xbox,” described Rodriguez. “It’s really like a first-person shooter game.”
Eckhart, meanwhile, said he was convinced to do the movie by Liebesman, who showed him a presentation involving soldiers doing urban combat in Fallujah to show how he wanted to shoot the movie.
“We made a war movie. With aliens. Jonathan brought me to the part.”

‘Batman 3′ Can Go In ‘Any Direction,’ ‘Dark Knight’ Star Aaron Eckhart Says

SAN DIEGO — Any news that will come out of Comic-Con about Christopher Nolan’s upcoming “Batman 3.” project will most likely be presented at Saturday’s Warner Bros. panel, but that didn’t stop MTV News’ Josh Horowitz from trying to get some information from “The Dark Knight” star Aaron Eckhart. The actor who played “Batman” villain Harvey “Two-Face” Dent stopped by to chat with MTV about his 2011 flick “Battle: Los Angeles,” and talk quickly turned to his upcoming projects.
Turns out, Eckhart doesn’t have anything on the docket for March or April of next year, when “Batman 3″ is allegedly set to begin filming.
“I’ll give Chris a shout-out. You know, I’m available,” Eckhart said, earning a laugh from his “Battle: Los Angeles” co-star Michelle Rodriguez. “Or [James] Cameron. Ridley Scott. ['Battle: Los Angeles' director] Jonathan [Liebesman]; I don’t know what he’s doing. I’m available.”
Since Two-Face was last seen dead at the end of “The Dark Knight,” it isn’t a big surprise that Eckhart isn’t the most knowledgeable about Nolan’s plans, but any comic book fan will say that “death” is never the end for villains. The loss of Heath Ledger, whose Joker was supposed to return in “Batman 3,” however, did mean Nolan had to find a new villain to be the centerpiece of the final installment in the rebooted franchise.
“Obviously, the script was meant to bring back Heath, and unfortunately that can’t happen, so I think starting over is a good thing,” Eckhart said. “I’m excited to see. Chris is up against it, because he made such a good movie with ‘The Dark Knight,’ that he’s got to really come up with something good.”
Speculation about the “Batman 3″ villain started immediately after “The Dark Knight” was released, and the latest rumor pins “Inception” star Joseph Gordon-Levitt as the Riddler. Eckhart couldn’t speak to that rumor specifically but said he thought that the opportunity to start fresh was good for the film.
“Chris, he’s an exceptional filmmaker from start to finish,” he said. “Whenever I hear stuff like that [Joseph Gordon-Levitt as the Riddler], if Johnny Depp’s going to play the Riddler, I’m into it. I feel like he can go in any direction.”
When asked if he thinks his time is done in the franchise, Eckhart avoided the question by giving a shout-out to Rodriguez being in the film. Horowitz asked if she should play Catwoman, Poison Ivy or Harley Quinn, but Rodriguez wasn’t having it.
“I say we come up with our own superheroes,” she said. “I think it’s time for something new, man.”
