BOB MARLEY: ONE LOVE Featurette

Charlie Hunnam To Star In A Prayer Before Dawn

We know Charlie Hunnam can look after himself in an on-screen rumble: TV’s Sons Of Anarchy and Pacific Rim proved that. Now he’s going to get his chance to show off some Thai boxing skills in true-life tale A Prayer Before Dawn.

Jean-Stephane Sauvaire is directing the film. It's drawn from the story of Billy Moore, who ended up incarcerated in the brutal Thai prison Klong Prem, known as the notorious Bangkok Hilton. There, mostly to survive, he began learning the skills of Muay Thai boxing. Nick Saltese adapted Moore’s book for Wild Bunch and Hurricane Films.

Hunnam is already training in the fighting discipline, and he’ll need to seriously shape up in the discipline, because Sauvaire is recruiting former prisoners and Muay Thai champions for the cast.

“A Prayer Before Dawn is – at one and the same time – a true story, a prison drama, a survival movie, a desperate love story and an extraordinary tale of redemption,” Sauvaire tells Screen International. “Above all, it is a poignant and uniquely human story.”

With Sons wrapping up this year, Hunnam has been busy working on movies, with a likely role as King Arthur in Guy Ritchie’s take on the legend in the offing, and work on The Mountain Between Us planned for next year. He also has Guillermo del Toro’s haunted house thriller Crimson Peak hitting October 16, 2015.

Sex Tape Review: Overly Sexual, Rude, Vulgar, and Absolutely Hilarious

The raunchy Sex Tape will divide audiences and critics, but who cares? Sex Tape suggests a growing practice among loving partners: that of making a raunchy testament of their escapades for posterity. But what happens when that evidence gets seen by friends, neighbors, and even the mailman? This is the plot that pits Jay (Jason Segel) and Annie (Cameron Diaz) in an effort to secure every iPad gift Jay has given, his record company playlists being the envy of the recipients, but which has also inadvertently spread the video to every device. The reason for the act - termed in the movie as pulling "the full Lincoln " for its three-hour length - stems from the couple's non-existent social life, brought on by the constant demands of their children. The couple has a lot to lose: a burgeoning business relationship between Annie and Hank (Rob Lowe) could end if the iPad she's given to Hank exposes the video, and so the couple sets out to reclaim and wipe the incrim...

Winona Ryder- An "Alienation" Expert?

Winona Ryder- An "Alienation" Expert? We're halfway checked out for the holiday weekend, so let's end with bit of comedy. A litigious videogame player is calling Winona Ryder to testify as an expert in "alienation." Erik Estavillo has filed a $1 million lawsuit in California Superior Court against Activision Blizzard, publisher of "World of Warcraft," saying it "maintain(s) a harmful virtual environment to many of its customers by forcing them to follow the game's sneaky and deceitful practices." The plaintiff says he suffers from several mental health problems brought on by WoW's "alienating" features, such as forcing beginners to walk or run to get from one point to another instead of speedier options available to those who master the game or buy an expansion pack. Estavillo says that the slow pace is "deceitful" because more time = more subscription revenue for Activision. Here's where Winona Ryder comes...
