    • First Photo: Hugh Jackman’s Ragged ‘Les Miserables’ Look

      After 25 years and over 10,000 performances, the Tony award winning musical "Les Misérables" is finally becoming a movie, and photographers in London snagged the first shots of Hugh Jackman in costume as the lead character, Jean Valjean.

      It looks like Jackman is filming scenes for the beginning of the story, where Jean Valjean has been imprisoned for 19 years for stealing bread.  With his bushy beard, scarred, gaunt face, and tattered clothes, you'd barely know that the man best known as Wolverine was also playing Prisoner 24601.

    • Josh Lucas Marries Mystery Woman

      Photo by Lester Cohen/WireimageLooks like there is a Mrs. Josh Lucas. A rep for the star of "The Firm" confirmed to Us Weekly that the actor has wed his girlfriend. The two were married last Friday. A source confirmed to the magazine that the happy couple are also expecting their first child. So who is the lucky bride?

      She has been identified only as a woman named Jessica who is a freelance writer. The actor -- who clearly values keeping his private life low-key -- hasn't revealed much about his bride. But the beautiful brunette was on his arm for the "J. Edgar" premiere in November 2011.

      Searches on Yahoo! for the pair surged on word of the wedding: Fans looked up "Josh Lucas married", "Josh Lucas girlfriend", and "Josh Lucas and Jessica".

      In January, the never-married Josh revealed his engagement on "The Tonight Show." Lucas told Jay Leno that it was on a Big Sur trip with his girlfriend when an encounter with a wild animal led him to realize he wanted domestic bliss.

    • Wes Bentley’s Beard is a Surprise ‘Hunger Games’ Star

      Growing a beard like actor Wes Bentley's in "The Hunger Games" takes time, patience, and an incredibly precise makeup artist.

      Bentley, who may be best known for his role as rebel videographer Ricky Fitts in 1999's "American Beauty," stars as Seneca Crane, the head game-maker. In the film, Bentley sports a topsy-turvy beard that features wild angles and a wave design. It's very bizarre and very buzzy.

      When Bentley walked the red carpet at the Yahoo! premiere event for the film, he explained that the beard is 100% real. No CGI here. "That beard needs a special designer, I can't do it myself. . . . I thought about doing a handlebar mustache. Or something. But nothing's going to beat that look."

    • First ‘The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn – Part 2′ Trailer Preview

      There are few movies with fans as rabid as the devotees of the "Twilight Saga."  And with only one film left in the series, the Twi-Hards are more desperate than ever for peeks at the final chapter.  Hopefully, this 14-second snippet from the first trailer for "Breaking Dawn - Part 2" will satisfy them until the full trailer debuts this weekend in theaters in front of "The Hunger Games."

    • Kristen Stewart in 'Snow White & the Huntsman' (Photo: Universal Pictures)

      They say when you fall off a horse, you have to get right back on again.  After getting injured in an accident as a child, Kristen Stewart had no desire to get back in the saddle again.  But the chance to play a fairy tale legend changed that.

      This past weekend at Wondercon -- the annual sci-fi/fantasy/comic book convention held this year in Anaheim, CA -- Stewart was a surprise guest for a presentation of footage from this summer's "Snow White & the Huntsman."  Joined by costar Charlize Theron (who plays the evil Queen) and director Rupert Sanders, Stewart answered fan questions about the challenges of making this big-screen epic.

    • TMNTThe animated "TMNT" from 2007 (Photo: Warner Bros. Pictures)

      Michael Bay seems to be at it again: This time the creator of mega-blockbusters is planning to produce a new, live-action version of "Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles." But, if he has his way, he may need to change the name to "Not So Mutant" Alien Turtles. Definitely less catchy.

      The "Transformers: Dark of the Moon" director told a crowd recently at the Nickelodeon Upfront New York event that instead of the series fans have loved about a mutant strain of turtles from earth who are obsessed with pizza and turn into two-footed creatures thanks to some transmutant goo, Bay's reptiles will simply be an alien race.

      As first called out on the blog StuffWeLike, Bay explained his vision for the 2013 remake: "When you see this movie, kids are going to believe, one day, that these turtles actually do exist when we are done with this movie." Wha? And then, "The turtles are from an alien race, and they are going to be tough, edgy, funny, and completely loveable."

      For those a little fuzzy on these

    • The One Thing Hugh Grant Won’t Do for His Child

      Photo by Dave M. BennettLast year, Hugh Grant became a first-time father. The actor, 51, recently opened up to the U.K.'s Guardian newspaper about what it's like to be a dad.

      Grant revealed that his friends warned him that "the baby period is not that exciting." But Grant finds it anything but boring. "I am excited, actually. I thought, well, I'll bluff through -- but very little bluffing has been required."

      Grant, who had the baby with ex-girlfriend and Chinese actress Tinglan Hong, also said something that we suspect most other new dads would disagree with. "Has she changed my life?" Grant pondered. "I'm not sure. Not yet. Not massively, no." Still, Grant says he is "thrilled to have had her" and that he already feels like a better person because of her. But there's one thing he won't do for her.

    • New ‘Garbage Pail Kids’ Movie in the Works

      The Garbage Pail Kids Movie

      If you were a kid in the '80s and loved all things gross and slimy, odds are you were a collector of Garbage Pail Kids. The incredibly popular (and incredibly un-PC) trading cards were like the anti-Cabbage Patch Kids. With names like "Potty Scotty" and "Smelly Sally," the cards weren't aiming for highbrow humor. But tweens loved 'em, and now, decades later, the GPKs are getting a new movie.

      The Garbage Pail Kids did star in a 1987 live action musical (yes, really). Hopefully the new project, first reported on by Deadline, won't make the same mistakes. Filmmaker Pes, who won several awards for his short film "Western Spaghetti," is set to direct. If director Pes's previous work is any indication, the film may be stop-motion. Former Disney bigwig Michael Eisner, who owns the Topps trading card company, will finance the project via his production company, Tornante Company.

    • Johnny DeppJohnny Depp in "Dark Shadows" (Photo: Warner Bros. Pictures)

      Pale skin, black hair, dark circles under the eyes. That has to mean Johnny Depp and director Tim Burton are working together again.

      22 years after "Edward Scissorhands," their first collaboration together, Depp and Burton are back at it with "Dark Shadows." It's a big-screen adaptation of the beloved cult soap opera that originally ran from 1966-1971.  It casts Depp as Barnabas Collins, a vampire from the 18th Century who is unearthed in 1972.  Take a look at the first trailer.

    • Indie Roundup: ‘Sound of Noise’

      Photo credit: Nils Bergendal, Magnolia Pictures

      Early on in Ola Simonsson and Johannes Stjarne Nilsson's debut feature, "Sound of Noise,"  we see Sanna (Sanna Persson) blazing down the freeway in a beat-up van, her eyes furtively glancing at the rearview mirror like a crook speeding away from a crime. Accompanying the scene is a propulsive drum track, exactly the sort of score you'd expect in a caper drama. Then the camera pans over to reveal a guy bashing away at a drum set in the back of the van. It's a great visual gag, and it sets up much of the subversive humor that follows. The duo's aim, it turns out, is not precisely criminal but definitely perverse; they are creating music using the van's gear shifts and its swerves over rumble stripes.  And when a traffic cop tries to pull them over, the drummer Magnus (Magnus Borjeson), enraged that the police siren ruined his piece, chucks his drum set at the cop.
