KRISTEN STEWART & CHRIS HEMSWORTH MAKE THE ACADEMY OF MOTION PICTURES CLASS OF 2017!!

Kristen Stewart (l) and Chris Hemsworth (r) at the Oscars.

The Academy of Motion Picture Arts & Sciences announced their new membership class of 2017 Wednesday afternoon with our SWATH stars making the cut. 

Kristen Stewart and Chris Hemsworth join the largest Oscar voting class which boasts 774 new members representing 57 countries. In the last two years, the Academy has been trying to right the wrongs of a long history of its lack of diversity which the majority of its membership was made up of older white males. 

Stewart has been in the entertainment business as a child actress starring alongside some of the best actors in the business (Robert DeNiro, Jessie Eisenberg, Julianne Moore, Alec Baldwin, Jodie Foster, Forest Whitaker, Jared Leto, James Gandolfini, Melissa Leo and more).  As a teen, Stewart starred in Twilight which is one of the most successful non-comic book blockbuster film series in history. 

Since the release of the Snow White and the Huntsman in 2012, Stewart has gone back to her indie roots where she has been a part of many critically acclaimed performances in films such as Clouds of Sils Maria (which she won a French Oscar for Best Actress), Still Alice, Woody Allen's Cafe Society and Personal Shopper where she teamed back up with her 'Sils Maria' director Oliver Assayas.  She was recently lauded at this year's Cannes Film Festival with her directorial debut of the short film Come Swim which she also wrote. 

Hemsworth has maintained his more commercial big budget film roots in films such as the successful remake of Ghostbusters, Blackhat, In the Heart of the Sea and the SWATH pre-quel/sequel The Huntsman: Winter's War. 

He continues his appearance as Thor in the Marvel films The Avengers: Age of Ultron and Dr. Strange along with his upcoming sequels Thor: Ragnarok and Avengers: Infinity War. 

In one of his rare indie appearances, critics gave him praise in his role as the Formula 1 race car driver James Hunt in the biopic Rush directed by Ron Howard. 

As two of Hollywood's top young talents, their membership in the Academy is well-deserved and will give more youthful insight into the Oscar voting. Congratulations to them both. Now vote vote vote!

SECOND TRAILER RELEASED FOR 'THE HUNTSMAN: WINTER'S WAR'

"If it's the Snow White's tale you're looking for, discover the story that came before."

This quote opens the second trailer released today for Universal's The Huntsman: Winter's War.  The voice over warns the audience at the beginning and at the end that this film is not about Snow White. 

This trailer gives a look into how Emily Blunt turns into the the infamous Ice Queen with her evil sister Ravenna at her side played by Charlize Theron.

Chris Hemsworth (The Huntsman) and Jessica Chastain (The Warrior) are both seen joining in on the fight against the two sisters. 

Check out the trailer below. 

Winter's War opens April 22, 2016. 






Synopsis:

The fantastical world of Snow White and the Huntsman expands to reveal how the fates of The Huntsman Eric and Queen Ravenna are deeply and dangerously intertwined. Chris Hemsworth and Oscar® winner Charlize Theron return to their roles in The Huntsman Winter’s War, an epic action-adventure in which they are joined by Emily Blunt and Jessica Chastain, as well as director Cedric Nicolas-Troyan. Producer Joe Roth (Maleficent, Alice in Wonderland) once again leads the team in a breathtaking new tale nested in the legendary saga.

Long before the evil Queen Ravenna (Theron) was thought vanquished by Snow White’s blade, she watched silently as her sister, Freya (Blunt), suffered a heartbreaking betrayal and fled their kingdom. With Freya’s ability to freeze any enemy, the young ice queen has spent decades in a remote wintry palace raising a legion of deadly huntsmen—including Eric (Hemsworth) and warrior Sara (Chastain)—only to find that her prized two defied her one demand: Forever harden your hearts to love.

When Freya learns of her sister’s demise, she summons her remaining soldiers to bring the Magic Mirror home to the only sorceress left who can harness its power. But once she discovers Ravenna can be resurrected from its golden depths, the wicked sisters threaten this enchanted land with twice the darkest force it’s ever seen. Now, their amassing army shall prove undefeatable…unless the banished huntsmen who broke their queen’s cardinal rule can fight their way back to one another.

Universal

NEW DWARVES FOR 'THE HUNTSMAN' WITH A NEW LOOK

Sheridan Smith, Rob Brydon and Alexandra Roach

'The Huntsman' is definitely taking on a different look and vibe with the announcement of a new group of dwarves joining the cast. 

Rob Brydon, Alexandra Roach and Sheridan Smith, whom all are British actors according to the Hollywood Reporter, are a far cry from the distinguished group of actors who took over these roles in 'Snow White and the Huntsman'. 

They will be joining Nick Frost who is returning as Neon. SWATH's dwarves were well-known for their tough guy characters in film which included the late Bob Hoskins. This time, a couple of ladies are added.  Could they be their wives? Girlfriends? Or just fellow dwarves?

Here's what THR says about the new dwarves: 

"Welsh actor Brydon will next be seen in HBO's upcoming series The Brink. He was most recently seen in The Trip to Italy, the sequel to The Trip opposite Steve Coogan, and Disney's hit live-action film Cinderella, now in theaters. He previously starred in the BBC series Gavin & Stacey."

"Roach's previous work includes The Iron Lady and Anna Karenina, and was most recently seen the British comedy Cuban Fury starring alongside Frost and Chris O’Dowd. She will next be seen in police drama series No Offence for Channel 4."

"Smith, who has won two Olivier Awards, also won a BAFTA TV award for her work on the series Mrs Biggs. On the film side, Sheridan recently starred in Dustin Hoffman's Quartet with Maggie Smith." 

Chris Hemsworth is returning as the Huntsman and Charlize Theron as the evil queen in the prequel. 

The film is set to open April 22, 2016.

Chris Hemsworth Dirty Dances With A Choke Hold In SNL Promo

Hugh Jackman was on the show promoting his new movie 'Chappie' when Hemsworth came on stage. 

Jackman was wearing the mullet wig and Hemsworth requested one for himself. This leads to the beer game of musical chairs. The premise was to walk around the chairs as music played. Once it stopped and a beer was in front of a contestant which they had to drink and if not they were out.

Check out the funny video below and see who wins and check out Hemsworth on SNL this Saturday. Check for the time in your area.

NICK FROST RETURNS AS 'NION' AS JESSICA CHASTAIN AND EMILY BLUNT JOIN SWATH PREQUEL

Deadline reports Nick Frost will be the only dwarf to reprise his role in Universal's Snow White and the Huntsman prequel, 'The Huntsman'. Frost will return as Nion.

Frost rejoins Chris Hemsworth as the huntsman and Charlize Theron as Queen Ravenna with SWATH's Visual Effects guru Cedric Nicolas-Troyan who will direct after the controversial departure of Frank Darabont. The first-time director received an Oscar nomination for his work on SWATH's VFX. This will most likely guarantee continuity between the two films. 

Also returning will be Joe Roth as producer and Palak Patel who will executive produce, according to Deadline.

Jessica Chastain (Zero Dark Thirty) and Emily Blunt (Into the Woods) joined the cast. Blunt is reported to play a villain. No word on Chastain's role. 

'The Huntsman' is set to be released April 22, 2016.

SAM SPRUELL KEEPS HIS BAD GUY CRED IN 'TAKEN 3' AS IT HOLDS STRONG OVER THE HEMSWORTH'S 'BLACKHAT'

(Fox): Liam Neeson on left and Sam Spruell on right in fight scene in Taken 3.

Sam Spruell's 'Finn' may have been "taken" out by Chris Hemsworth's 'Huntsman' in SWATH, but after the four-day Martin Luther King holiday weekend, Spruell clearly made up for it. 

Spruell's 'Taken 3' crushed Hemsworth's 'Blackhat' at the box office. 

'Taken 3' starring Liam Neeson, took in $14.625 million this weekend and $63.412 million overall after one week of release coming in 4th behind the surprising box office smash American Sniper, The Wedding Ringer and Paddington, according to Box Office Mojo. 

'Blackhat' the action thriller starring Hemsworth, directed by Michael Mann and distributed by Universal did not receive positive headlines coming in 10th place with a paltry $3.838 million at the box office with a reported $70 million dollar production budget. 

The public is not either interested in the hacker film or not believing Hemsworth as a hacker.  If this was supposed to be a fluff piece for Hemsworth using his popularity to generate box office, it didn't work -- at least domestically. 

However, there may be a bit of light at the end of the tunnel for 'Blackhat' when it opens more overseas particularly in Asian markets due to its diverse cast which includes Asian stars.

(See the full weekend box office here.)

************

Spruell handles his bad guy cred in this final installment with ease taking out a few people including one of the beloved characters.  

Spruell's 'Oleg Malankov' is not 'Finn'. This guy has lots of sex appeal with hot tubs, women, tattoos and abs. Spruell in his tighty whities in a fight scene with Neeson  is enough to make a girl blush.

'Taken 3' sees the return of the "ex-covert operative Bryan Mills (Liam Neeson) and his ex-wife, Lenore (Famke Janssen), [who]are enjoying a reconciliation when Lenore is brutally murdered. Bryan is framed for the crime and flees, with the CIA, FBI and police all in hot pursuit. For the last time, he channels his rage and particular set of skills into hunting down Lenore's real killers, taking his revenge and protecting the one important thing left in his life: his daughter, Kim (Maggie Grace)."  [Google]

Check out both films in theaters today.

STEWART GETS LOVE & HEMSWORTH GETS ALL WET DURING A DAY OF PROMOTIONAL APPEARANCES FOR 'STILL ALICE' & 'BLACKHAT'

Kristen Stewart and Chris Hemsworth had an eventful day Tuesday in New York as they made their respective rounds promoting separate films. 

Stewart attended a press conference and two live online interviews with AOL and Huffington Post alongside potential Oscar nominee and co-star Julianne Moore promoting their film 'Still Alice'.  Both ladies clearly enjoyed each others company while showing their enthusiasm and passion about the film.

(Zimbio): Stewart with Kate Bosworth at afterparty

Stewart ended the night attending The Cinema Society with Montblanc and Dom Perignon screening and afterparty of 'Still Alice' at the Landmark's Sunshine Cinema.   

Hemsworth spent the day promoting his film 'Blackhat' at the Today Show, Live with Kelly and Michael and the Tonight Show with Jimmy Fallon with an earlier stop with director Michael Mann at Sirius XM radio. 

To hear the entire interview, tune in this Thursday, January 15th to Entertainment Weekly Radio on Sirius XM channel 105 at 6pm ET.  See more photos here.

The night ended in a splash when Hemsworth and Fallon participated in a funny and somewhat sexy water fight segment. Whomever pulled the higher playing card got to splash the other with a full glass of water with the loser getting dowsed with a water gun. 

Hemsworth did not disappoint his female fans as he lost (not on purpose) and was drenched in water by Fallon while providing a little Chippendale-ish dance.

Check out the water fight below and the entire show with Hemsworth's interview here while available. Check out more photos here.

Take a look at videos and photos below and here of their day below. 

'Still Alice' the small budget independent film and 'Blackhat' the large budget action drama directed by Michael Mann both open this Friday.
