 Several weeks ago, I was able to attend the press day for "The Warrior's Way" which stars Kate Bosworth, Danny Huston, Dong-gun Jang and Geoffrey Rush. Admittedly, I hadn't heard much about the film prior to attending the press day, however, by time I'd left I reckon I knew all there was to know about "The Warrior's Way." Okay, obviously that isn't true. The film follows a warrior-assassin who is forced to hide in a small town in the American Badlands after refusing a mission. Yeah, I know I'm a little behind in posting this but better late than never right? Read on for our interview with Kate Bosworth and be sure to check out our interview with Danny Huston as well! |

| Zachary Levi is one of the many voice actors in Walt Disney's animated feature "Tangled." He plays a charming thief, Flynn Rider, in the 3D flick.
When Flynn takes refuge in a mysterious tower, he encounters Rapunzel (Mandy Moore), a feisty but sheltered teenage princess with 70 feet of hair who wants nothing more than to be liberated from the place where she’s been locked away for years. Rapunzel realizes Flynn is her ticket out of her predicament and strikes a deal with the dashing rogue. Together, the unlikely duo embarks on a hair-raising adventure during which both discover their true destiny. Reel Empire was in attendance at a roundtable interview with Zachary Levi to discuss "Tangled." You may know Zachary from NBC's hit television series "Chuck." During the interview, he told us what his attraction to the project was as well as why his character is so unique. In addition, he shared his thoughts on working with directors Byron Howard and Nathan Greno. You can read on for the interview and be sure to share your thoughts! |

| In the not so distant past when a parody was made about a movie, it was meant as homage to the success of a blockbuster film. Only recently have parody movies gotten a bad name and have been criticized by the movie going public. There are some movie makers out there who want to bring the prestige of making a parody using pop culture icons back to the silver screen. One such person is Craig Moss, and he hopes with his newest film, The 41 Year Old Virgin Who Knocked up Sarah Marshall and Felt Superbad about It, to erase the recent stigma of parodies and make them fun again. An accomplished comedy writer, Moss has plans to parody the Twilight films in a movie called Fully Mooned which is set to start filming this summer. With these movies Moss is taking his experience with comedy writing and turning his eye to the director’s chair. In a recent phone conversation with Moss he talked about his latest projects and why he started directing.

 Some people might say that Sean Hayes, famously know as Jack McFarland from Will & Grace, has experienced the ups and downs on the roller coasters of life all in a few short months. After an article was published in Newsweek criticizing his ability to act, he is showing everyone his talents by not only being in his first Broadway show called Promises, Promises but also being nominated for a Tony for Best Leading Actor in a Musical. And wait, that’s not all he also hosting the awards show set to air on CBS, Sunday, June 13,2010 at 8pm/7c. Alas! One more tidbit to add to his resume is his new television show called Hot In Cleveland, which he executive produces, set to air Wednesdays on TV Land starting June 16th at 10pm/9c. Hayes participated in a press conference to promote the Tony Awards in which he answered questions about his hosting gig, nomination, and new duties as executive producer of a sitcom. Any reporters hoping to get a sound bite about his reaction to the Newsweek article were sorely disappointed as Hayes stayed mum about the scathing review and only answered questions about his hosting duties and nomination. He did tell everyone to expect a star studded line up of presenters including Cate Blanchett, Daniel Radcliffe, and Denzel Washington. Another greatly anticipated element to the show will be a performance by Green Day and the musical filled with their music called American Idiot is nominated for three awards. Read on for more! |

| Mike Myers & cast talk 'Shrek Forever After'. "Shrek Forever After" is purportedly the last installment in Dreamwork's extremely popular and highly successful animated franchise. The series has grossed over a billion in box office earnings and has certainly paved the way for dozens of other animated pictures.
In "Shrek Forever After", the ogre Shrek (Mike Myers) suddenly finds himself a domesticated family man. Instead of scaring villagers away like he used to, Shrek is now a local celebrity, signing autographs and waving at tour buses full of people. Longing for the days when he felt like a real ogre, Shrek is duped into signing a pact with the deceitful Rumpelstiltskin (Walt Dohrn) and suddenly finds himself in a twisted alternate reality where Shrek and Fiona (Cameron Diaz) have never met, his best friend Donkey (Eddie Murphy) doesn’t know him and Puss in Boots (Antonio Banderas) has put on a few extra pounds. |

| Want to know what it was like to film Hannah Montana: The Movie? Catch up with the movie's star Miley Cyrus to get the lowdown! Are kissing scenes embarrassing? What's the message of the movie? And what did Miley add to the story? Miley shares her thoughts and opinions regarding the motion picture based on the popular Disney Channel original series "Hannah Montana". See what her experience was like while shooting the movie.
First things first… There’s a rumor going around that you didn’t want a Hannah Montana movie. Is that true?
It is true! At first, I was a little concerned because I wanted to know how the show would work in a movie format. We wanted to make a movie that was more realistic than the show, along with some comedy and romance. I think we did a good job of doing that, but it was a little scary at the start. |

During the interview, Fox shared some details about her work on the movie as well as a couple other projects. Megan, what's changed for you since the first Transformers? Megan: The movie's success and how well it was received has opened a lot of doors for me, career wise. I've been able to be a part of some films that I don't really feel like I deserve to be a part of, and that is due greatly in part, or solely, because of the success of Transformers. I just did Jonah Hex with Josh Brolin, Michael Fassbender and John Malkovich. Actors just don't get those kinds of opportunities. For me, to have that is a huge blessing, and that's because of the success of this movie. |
