The electrifying 1973 tennis match between World number one Billie Jean King ( Emma Stone ) and ex-champ and serial hustler Bobby Riggs ( Steve Carell ) was billed as THE BATTLE OF THE SEXES and became one of the most watched televised sports events of all time. The match caught the zeitgeistand sparked a global conversation on gender equality, spurring on the feminist movement. Trapped in the media glare, King and Riggs were on opposite sides of a binary argument, but off-court each was fighting more personal and complex battles. With a supportive husband urging her to fight the Establishment for equal pay, the fiercely private King was also struggling to come to terms with her own sexuality, while Riggs gambled his legacy and reputation in a bid to relive the glories of his past. Together, Billie and Bobby served up a cultural spectacle that resonated far beyond the tennis courts and animated the discussions between men and women in bedrooms and boardrooms around the world.

Here is your fist look at of Emma Stone and Steve Carell on set as Billie Jean King and Bobby Riggs in  BATTLE OF THE SEXES . This photo comes from the scene in which the Battle of the Sexes tennis match was announced at an official press conference in July 1973. Fox Searchlight Pictures’ Presidents Stephen Gilula and Nancy Utley announced today that principal photography for BATTLE OF THE SEXES has begun in Los Angeles. The film stars Oscar-nominees Emma Stone (BIRDMAN, THE HELP) Steve Carell (FOXCATCHER, THE BIG SHORT), and Elisabeth Shue (LEAVING LAS VEGAS, CHASING MAVERICKS) along with Sarah Silverman (“Masters of Sex”, I SMILE BACK), Alan Cumming (“The Good Wife”, X-MEN 2), Andrea Riseborough (BIRDMAN), Eric Christian Olsen (“CSI: Los Angeles”), Natalie Morales (“The Grinder”), Austin Stowell (BRIDGE OF SPIES, WHIPLASH), Wallace Langham (RUBY SPARKS, LITTLE MISS SUNSHINE), Jessica McNamee (LAST DAYS OF SUMMER), Mickey Sumner (THE END OF THE TOUR) and Bill Pullman (LBJ, T

With Emma Stone and Steve Carell already at the top of the cast, tennis drama Battle Of The Sexes is now filling in its key supporting players. Andrea Riseborough and Elisabeth Shue signed up recently, and the latest addition is Sarah Silverman. The film, which boasts a script by Simon Beaufoy, will chronicle the rivalry between former tennis pro Bobby Riggs ( Carell ) and his 29-year-old opponent Billie Jean King ( Stone ), who hit the court for a legendary match in 1973 that (it was claimed) would establish if a female pro could ever beat a male in the sport. The event drew a huge audience of more than 50 million Americans, eager to see who would triumph. Silverman will play Gladys Heldman, the founder of the magazine World Tennis, and a staunch supporter of King and other female players in the early 1970s. Stone and Carell previously shared the screen in Crazy, Stupid Love, and Battle Of The Sexes also represents another reunion: Little Miss Sunshine’s Jonathan Dayton a

Chasing Mavericks Review  By: MattInRC  Chasing Mavericks is a feel-good film that's actually good. Make sure to Follow MattInRC on Twitter for all his reviews and tasteless jokes. Under the category of 'feel-good sports flick that don't suck,' we have the giants: Hoosiers (basketball), The Natural (baseball), The Sweater (hockey), and Rudy (football). But for every Rudy , we got T he Replacements ; for every Natural , we've endured Summer Catch . Does the biopic Chasing Mavericks finally add a surfing film into this hall of fame? The answer is...perhaps. Chasing Mavericks is a surprising addition to the fall lineup, sporting some amazing maverick waves and introducing us to the life of Jay Moriarity , whose tragic death in 2001 ended a brief but spectacular surfing career. And while Mavericks isn't perfect by any means, it's good enough to present one-part instruction in the sport/one-part biopic without losing itself in the deta

HOUSE AT THE END OF THE STREET Review By: RAMA Did this movie scare the pants off of RAMA ? A thriller that has potential, the concept isn’t all that bad once you think about it twice after the movie ends, the problem is the execution and the delivery. I think there are better ways to handle this concept, sadly it’s handled this way instead. HOUSE AT THE END OF THE STREET is a thriller that waited almost two years so it can bank on Jennifer Lawrence’s now popular status but perhaps this is one film that should’ve remained shelved… Seeking a fresh start, newly divorced Sarah (Oscar®-nominee Elisabeth Shue ; Leaving Las Vegas, Piranha 3D) and her daughter Elissa (Oscar®-nominee Jennifer Lawrence ; The Hunger Games, X-Men: First Class) find the house of their dreams in a small, upscale, rural town. But when startling and unexplainable events begin to happen, Sarah and Elissa learn the town is in the shadows of a chilling secret. Years earlier, in the house next door,
