    Interview with Pitbull about Men in Black 3 Blog Exclusives, Interviews | Comments Off
    International superstar Pitbull owes his break in the movie business to his raw talent, his global status and his razor-sharp lyrics. Oh, and he also owes a debt to a teenage girl. “It’s true,” laughs the 31-year-old rap star. “The Men In Black director, Barry Sonnenfeld, asked his daughter, ‘Do you know this Pitbull guy?’ and she was like, ‘What do you mean, do I know Pitbull? Are you crazy? You’ve got to work with that guy!’” The music sensation smiles: “Barry’s daughter was a major player in this.” Much to the delight of Chloe Sonnenfeld, and millions of ...

    ROBERT PATTINSON THE TWILIGHT SAGA: BREAKING DAWN PART 1 With the first part of the final Twilight instalment hitting our cinemas this month, we caught up with Robert Pattinson to see how he was feeling now that Edward Cullen will no longer be a part of his life.... Are you sad that it’s all over now? I don’t know yet. I feel like I have been in a whirlwind for so long that I don’t really know. I feel like I have been doing it for years constantly, even though I have done other movies in between, because whenever you do and promote or ...

    INTERVIEW: Freddie Fox, The Three Musketeers Blog Exclusives, Interviews, Trailers | Comments Off
    Taking on a classic like The Three Musketeers was never going to be an easy challenge, and Paul W.S. Anderson’s film is a mixed bag. However one of the film’s triumphs is a brilliantly funny and endearing turn as King Louis by young Freddie Fox, a relative unknown who managed to upstage his co-stars – including Orlando Bloom, Matthew MacFayden & Milla Jovovich. I caught up with the lovely young actor just before the film’s Irish premiere, & he spoke to me about working with the Resident Evil director, taking on a project with such a legacy & why ...

    Interview With Nicolas Winding Refn, Director of Drive Blog Exclusives, Interviews | Comments Off
    A couple of weeks ago I had the pleasure of chatting to Nicolas Winding Refn, director of the phenomenal Drive, & apart from being a brilliant director, the man is a completely quirky character. I'm actually a bit worried he's going to go the way of his mentor Lars Von Trier - I found his appearance on BBC hilarious merely for the presenter's panicked reactions, but I can see him going to extremes as his profile gets higher. Hey, it'll be entertaining anyway. Talking to him for We Love Movies, Refn spoke to me about his telepathic relationship with Ryan Gosling, ...

    The Inbetweeners on the Couch. Blog Exclusives, Interviews, Trade News | Comments Off
    Entertainment, the studio behind The Inbetweeners Movie are somewhat notorious for never having press screenings in Ireland, or doing interviews for that matter, so I was lucky to be able to catch up with the stars if the film in London for a quick chat for Spin 103.8's We Love Movies. Though the lads weren't exactly chipper - meeting them the day of the première, it had just hit Simon Bird, Joe Thomas, James Buckley and Blake Harrison that it was all over, so the interview turned into a very star-studded therapy session. The podcast will be up ...

    INTERVIEW: CONOR HORGAN, director of One Hundred Mornings Interviews, Trailers | Comments Off
    Is there any room for civilized behaviour when the world is coming to an end? How long would it take for you to abandon rituals, to forget pleasantries, to abuse your power, and finally to turn on your neighbour, your friend, your lover? As Irish director Conor Horgan’s post-apocalyptic drama One Hundred Mornings is released, he talks to Roe McDermott about societal breakdowns, morality and why even at the end of the world we’ll be sleeping with the wrong people. “I’m not one of these guys who walks up and down the street with a large sign saying ‘The End ...

    INTERVIEW:CARMEL WINTERS, director of Snap Interviews, Trailers | Comments Off
    Carmel Winters, the award-winning director of the hard-hitting Irish drama Snap talks to Roe McDermott about writing about kidnap, torture and abuse; working with the late Mick Lally on one of his last ever projects; and how in the past Irish film has sensationalized and simplified tales of abuse. After winning best film and best director at the Dublin Film Critics’ Circle awards this year and screening to great acclaim at the Jameson Dublin International Film Festival 2011, it’s fair to say that Carmel Winters’ first foray into filmmaking has been a raging success. Having previously written plays such ...

    INTERVIEW: NEIL MCCORMICK, Bono’s doppelganger Interviews, Trailers | Comments Off
    Neil McCormick’s unsuccessful quest for rock and roll fame has been immortalized in the comedy rock scene film Killing Bono. He talks to Roe McDermott about the differences between the film and real life, why Bono told McCormick to kill him and how naked women and goats played a part in his job interview for Hot Press… It almost seems redundant to say that the man who spent his life in Bono’s shadow is finally enjoying his time in the spotlight, but Neil McCormick is definitely enjoying having his life immortalized in the new comedy rock scene movie Killing Bono, which ...
