Video belongs to EB

RAY WINSTONE SWOONS THE AUDIENCE ON
THE JONATHAN ROSS SHOW:
THE JONATHAN ROSS SHOW:
TALKS SWATH, DWARFS, AND MORE
Looking as dapper as ever and giving a swoon-worthy karaoke performance, Ray Winstone appeared on a UK show called The Jonathan Ross Show on August 25th. Ray is gearing up for the release of his film The Sweeney on September 12th in the UK.
Around 2:33, Ray charms the audience with a little SWATH talk as he describes the special effects techniques used for becoming a dwarf and also gives a little demonstration. He later sings karaoke and he sounds really good.
However, he did a little stereotyping of rap music stating that he is not into it and proceeds to describe it as music about "shooting people." Uh Ray...you are in The Sweeney!
But for the record Ray, rap music has never just been about violence. Like rock and roll music and other types of music, rap has its niches. I'm sure Ray can hang with a little Sugar Hill Gang rapping about eating a bad meal at your friends house. *chuckles*
But getting back the the karaoke, Ray's crooning of "I've Got You Under My Skin" is a MUST SEE!
So check out this fun interview (ignoring the rap stereotypes) in the video above and don't forget to check out The Sweeney on September 12th in the UK.

OSCAR POTENTIAL
MK2
Indiewire reports that Kristen Stewart's On the Road is being re-edited and the results will be shown at the Toronto International Film Festival on September 6th in its new state.
OTR ran 2 hours and 20 minutes when shown at the Cannes Film Festival. Reviews were generally positive with some of them boarderline commenting on the length of the film and the pacing. OTR will be reduced by 15 minutes which means someone's character will surely land on the editing floor.
There is a hope that these edits will lead the film into award season with a potential Oscar nomination. OTR is reported to open this December.

SAM CLAFLIN NAMED BIGGEST BLOWOUT STAR OF 2013
BY DIRT.COM
Hunger TV
Looks like the band wagon is getting a little full. Sam is about to meet the media like he hasn't met them before now that he scored the most coveted role in The Hunger Games franchise. Dirt.com has now named Sam the "Biggest Blowout Star of 2013."
"Sam Claflin, one of Hollywood’s hottest up-and-coming superstars, has landed the coveted role in the upcoming film Catching Fire, the second Hunger Games movie, which begins shooting this year for a late 2013 release."
"Sam is a dream. And when he takes his shirt off, he will make people faint. He is the biggest big thing to happen to Hollywood in 20 years."
SWATH's Prince/bowman is already a blowout star but if Dirt.com is finally getting on board, the more the merrier.

A FAMILY AFFAIR: SAM CLAFLIN SHARES STAGE WITH BROTHER JOE
Sam Claflin (l) and Joe Claflin (r) in a production of Sinbad
SWATH's Sam Claflin has a lot to be proud of these days. Coming off of this summer's blockbuster hit SWATH as well as the critically acclaimed BBC television series White Heat and landing what is considered the most coveted role in The Hunger Games franchise as Finnick Odair, he is now a proud sibling of a fellow actor who will add to the Claflin family stardom.
Sam's (26) younger brother Joe Claflin (23) who recently graduated from his brother's alma mater, the London Academy of Dramatic Art, has reportedly landed a role in the television series Da Vinci’s Demons.
“It’s a very, very small part, but in a brilliant production with some big, very talented actors,” he tells the Norwhich Evening News.
Joe realizes that the acting business is very competitive but has to find a way to distinguish himself from other actors.
"I’m very excited … also very nervous. It’s such a competitive business … I’ve been to a couple of auditions now where I’ve walked in to see a few clones waiting outside, and I think 'What’s going to separate me from these guys?'"
Of course he was asked the inevitable question about competing against his successful brother Sam. However, Joe reveals there is no competition. It's all about love.
"I get asked a lot: ‘Do you find it annoying that your brother is doing so well?’ “But at the end of the day why would I? I support and follow him with unbelievable love and interest."
If anyone follows the Claflin Clan on Twitter, you would know this to be true.
Joe says he hopes to work with his brother in the future and we are certainly looking forward to a Claflin brother hook up.
Read more about Joe here. You can follow Joe here on Twitter and Sam here.

FORMER SEQUEL WRITER KOEPP TALKS LEAVING SWATH: COULD SOCIAL MEDIA PLAY A ROLE ON SWATH'S DIRECTION?
Rama's Screen
"Yes, no, could be, could be not, who's to say?" The back and forth regarding "who's in" and "who's out" for a SWATH sequel or spinoff could be a battleship about to sink and one of the casualties could be a likable guy if social media takes hold.
In an interview, Rama's Screen reports what former SWATH screenwriter David Koepp judiciously said about his involvement and departure with the sequel.
"I’m not involved with that anymore." "There was a storyline I was pursuing that it turns out they don’t want to pursue, so we’re parting as friends. You have to have an idea and don’t take a job if you don’t have an idea and if you do have an idea, pursue it because ideas are currency. That’s what you’ve got. I had an idea I was excited about it and we pursued it for a while but then they wanted to go in a different direction."
Rama's Screen states that Universal will be pursuing a story about the Huntsman's background. It is unknown if this statement is based on something new or based on what The Hollywood Reporter wrote about back in April. Letting go one of Hollywood's top writers for an undisclosed reason leaves open questions for what is being penned now.
But if this is based on current information, the question is, "Can the film survive fan backlash?"

IT'S OFFICIAL! SAM CLAFLIN IS 'FINNICK ODAIR' IN
"CATCHING FIRE"
"CATCHING FIRE"
GQ
Well the wait is over...contracts are signed and now it's official, SWATH's Sam Claflin has scored the most coveted role in The Hunger Games franchise outside of Katniss...he's now 'Finnick Odair' in the next installment called Catching Fire.
Deadline reports that there was a nitch with a commitment to another studio. Once that cleared, he had the role. Always listed as the favorite, the others in line for the role were Ben Walker, Boyd Holbrook and Tyler Hoechlin, according to Deadline.
Entertainment Weekly describes Odair: "Along with Katniss Everdeen (Jennifer Lawrence) and Peeta Mellark (Josh Hutcherson), the 24-year-old Finnick is among the previous champions forced to return to the arena for the 75th annual Hunger Games, also known as the Quarter Quell. Katniss is initially wary of him — in Suzanne Collins’ bestseller, when they first meet, Finnick is wearing nothing but a fishing net with some strategically placed knots. But along with his former mentor Mags (Lynn Cohen), Finnick proves to be a powerful ally once they get to the arena."
Lionsgate has issued its official press release about the role. Let us say that we are proud of you Sam. CONGRATS!!
Santa Monica, CA, August 22, 2012- Lionsgate® and the filmmakers of THE HUNGER GAMES: CATCHING FIRE are pleased to announce that Sam Claflin has been cast in the role of Finnick in the much anticipated film adaptation of Suzanne Collins’ worldwide smash hit novel Catching Fire. Charasmatic and clever, Finnick was a District 4 Hunger Games victor when he was fourteen.
After breaking out in his role as the romantic lead in last year’s PIRATES OF THE CARIBBEAN: ON STRANGER TIDES, Claflin starred in the box office smash SNOW WHITE AND THE HUNTSMAN playing Prince William alongside Kristen Stewart, Charlize Theron and Chris Hemsworth. He recently finished filming THE QUIET ONES opposite Jarred Harris, and MARY & MARTHA, in which he co-stars with Hilary Swank.
THE HUNGER GAMES: CATCHING FIRE begins as Katniss Everdeen has returned home safe after winning the 74th Annual Hunger Games along with fellow tribute Peeta Mellark. Winning means that they must turn around and leave their family and close friends, embarking on a “Victor’s Tour” of the districts. Along the way Katniss senses that a rebellion is simmering, but the Capitol is still very much in control as President Snow prepares the 75th Annual Hunger Games (The Quarter Quell) – a competition that could change Panem forever.
THE HUNGER GAMES: CATCHING FIRE will be directed by Francis Lawrence, and produced by Nina Jacobson’s Color Force in tandem with producer Jon Kilik. The novel on which the film is based is the second in a trilogy that has sold more than 50 million books in print and digital in the U.S. alone.
Lionsgate will release THE HUNGER GAMES: CATCHING FIRE on November 22, 2013.

KRISTEN STEWART'S @TWILIGHT IS A MILLION FOLLOWER BEAST ON TWITTER - SETS ANOTHER RECORD
Kristen Stewart continues to be a part of movie-making history as the Twilight franchise continues to break records as it winds down the final chapter of the franchise this November.
Yes, Avatar and The Avengers may make a little bit more at the box office having the 3D-IMAX premiums attached, but the Passionate Fan Trophy definitely goes to the Twihards who have made Stewart and Twilight not only a box office success, but now are helping to rake in social media records. A few of the same fans have followed Stewart over to SWATH making it a success as well.
From a record breaking box office to trailer views, the Twilight franchise is still going strong being the "first-ever movie page" to reach one million followers on Twitter. Now at 1,004,381 million, @Twilight https://twitter.com/twilight continues to add followers since it reached its milestone yesterday.
Summit states that @Twilight has 50% more followers than the next movie site Harry Potter @harrypotterfilm which has around 669,000 followers. Summit released a tweet thanking the fans for their support along with a video (see below) to celebrate the milestone.
A press release was posted by the TwiExaminer from Summit Entertainment states:
"Summit Entertainment, a LIONSGATE® company, announced today that THE TWILIGHT SAGA Twitter handle @Twilight (https://twitter.com/twilight) amassed 1 million followers, making it the first-ever movie page on Twitter to ever reach the million mark. The Studio started the Twitter handle in October 2009. Within 24 hours of creating the handle, @Twilight became a worldwide trending topic which can be seen via the following link:http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4lNefFg9AAI. The film franchise’s cast members are also thanking fans for their support, using the hashtag #Twihards4EVER.
Summit’s Twitter handle for THE TWILIGHT SAGA, which has 50% more followers than the next biggest film property, has consistently been used to share exclusive content and news announcements including one-sheets, first look images, and messages from the franchise’s filmmakers – often resulting in worldwide trending topics on the microblogging service. Some highlights of this from over the past three years include the following:
· The @Twilight Twitter profile directed nearly 1.7 million views to the first teaser trailer for THE TWILIGHT SAGA: BREAKING DAWN – PART 2. A week before the launch, a short sneak peek was teased on the handle, and within a few hours, it generated two of the top worldwide trending topics on Twitter (#RunningVampireBellaFTW and #WeLoveTwilight).
· During the opening weekend of THE TWILIGHT SAGA: BREAKING DAWN – PART 1, a variety of Twilight topics - from “Twilight” to “Breaking Dawn” to "Team Jacob" and "Team Edward" - trended on Twitter across the world, including 43 of the top 48 US cities.
· For THE TWILIGHT SAGA: ECLIPSE soundtrack reveal, Summit released a new track name and artist every half-hour, on the half-hour, via the @Twilight Twitter handle. This first-ever promotion became a worldwide trending topic.
· For THE TWILIGHT SAGA: NEW MOON, Summit developed a "See It Again" Twitter sweepstakes called "Tweet @Twilight." Fans were encouraged to tweet how many times they had seen the film and include the hashtag #SeeNewMoonAgain in the message. Within the first hour, #SeeNewMoonAgain became a trending topic. The winner received a phone call from director Chris Weitz."
