Welcome to Me
In this 2014 comedy drama written by Eliot Laurence and directed by Shira Piven, Wiig stars as Alice Klieg, a woman who has Borderline Personality Disorder. After she wins millions, she quits her meds and buys her own talk show. Co-starring Linda Cardellini, Jennifer Jason Leigh and James Marsden. On her nude scene:
I’d never read a character like that. I got to a scene where it read, ‘She’s fully naked,’ and I remember thinking: If I do this movie, I have to do this scene because it’s really important to this script.
Focus
In this romantic comedy drama, Smith plays Nicky Spurgeon, a con man. He falls in love Jess (MArgotRobbie) and begins to teach her the tricks of the trade but he breaks the relationship off when it gets too close. Three years later she shows Nicky how cons are done. Directed by Glenn Ficarra and John Requa. Co-starring Rodrigo Santoro. Robbie:
We started improvising a little bit, Will said something and I called him a d**k,” she recalls. “Apparently when he walked out he said: ‘I like her. I think she’s the right one.’ They were like, ‘you like her because she called you a d**k’. It ended up becoming a running joke in the film.”
Fifty Shades of Grey
In this romance directed by Sam Taylor-Johnson based on a book by Kelly Marcel, Dornan plays Christian Grey, a rich businessman who gets romantically involved with a sexually inexperienced college girl, who discovers he is into sado-masochistic sex. Co-starring: Dakota Johnson, Rita Ora, Luke Grimes and Eloise Mumford.
I got through with a lot of apologies, you have to keep the intensity there, but maintain professionalism. At the end of the day, we’re all human beings and it can be uncomfortable to film things like that, so I just tried to make light of it
Aloha trailer
The trailer for Aloha is released. The movie, directed by Cameron Crowe, stars Cooper as a military contractor who returns to the U.S. space program in Honolulu after blowing an assignment. Stone is his love interest. The film also stars Rachel McAdams, Alec Baldwin and Bill Murray.
The Boy Next Door
In this drama directed by Rob Cohen based on a book by Barbara Curry, Lopez plays Peterson, a recently cheated-on married woman who falls for a younger man who has just moved in next door. When she breaks up with him, he starts to stalk her. Co starring Ryan Guzman, Ian Nelson, John Corbet, Kristin Chenoweth, Lexi Atkins, Hill Harper, Jack Wallace and Adam Hicks.
When I read the script, I liked the character because I felt it was very related. She’s a woman in a long marriage, her husband just cheated on her, and she’s kind of at the lowest point in her life. She’s at that moment and then this guy comes along — the boy next door shows up — and starts making her feel like she is worth something. That she is desirable in some way and reminds her because she’s feeling the total opposite in that moment. And then of course, [she] makes a mistake and crosses the line and it changes their lives forever. But I really did love [how] she’s strong, but she’s vulnerable at the same time.
American Sniper
In this drama directed by Clint Eastwood based on a book by Jason Hall, Cooper plays Chris Kyle, the most lethal sniper in American history. Co-starring:Sienna Miller, Luke Grimes,Kyle Gallner, Ben Reed and Elise Robertson. On getting Eastwood involved:
Now, you don’t really persuade Clint to do anything, he’s either going to do it or he’s not. But I said, ‘Hey, Clint, how you doing?’ ‘Bradley, how are you?’ And he’s like [Cooper speaks in this spot-on impression of Eastwood], ‘Yeah, I’m reading this Chris Kyle thing, 10 or so pages at night in-between shooting, yeah, so I guess Steven [Spielberg]’s not doing it, huh?’ And I said, ‘Yeah, and I have to say I just watched Unforgiven again, and there are a lot of similarities. I love the idea of treating this like a Western, and investigating this guy and his psyche.’ Clint goes, ‘Yeah, yeah, call me on Monday, let me take a look at the script.’ I said, OK, great, Clint, thank you.
What happened on the next call?
He says [in a hoarse whisper], ‘Yeah, let’s make this f*cker.’ And that was it. I was like, ‘OK, Clint.’

Testament of Youth
Harington plays Roland Leighton, Brittain’s fiancé, in this historic drama directed by James Kent. He shares a dream of being a writer with his friends and Vera Brittian. Roland Leighton enlists as war is declared and falls in love with Vera Brittian as he writes her poems and letters.
I studied Testament Of Youth in school and knew a lot about the First World War. I was immediately interested in the script, especially the war poetry. I then met with James Kent and Rosie Alison to read for the part. And Juliette Towhidi did a brilliant job writing the script. She has created an extremely moving and dreamlike piece. Everyone around Vera, including Roland, seems to be a snippet in Vera’s life, almost part of her imagination.
Kingsman: The Secret Service
In this drama directed by Mathew Vaughn, based on a book by Mark Millar, Egerton plays Eggsy, a youth who is headed for a life in prison until the secret service recruits him. Co-starring: Colin Firth, Samuel L. Jackson, Michall Caine and Sofia Boutella.
That’s one of the things that I really, really appreciated on set, that Colin is enough of a good bloke – he would never presume to give me advice unless I sought it. That’s part of what he did to level the playing field. Despite the vast gap in our stature as performers – how established Colin is and how green I am – him doing that made me feel very confident.

Still Alice
Moore plays Alice Howland, a professor of linguistics who is diagnosed with early-onset Alzheimer’s disease in this drama written and directed by Richard Glatzer and Wash Westmoreland. The film is based upon Lisa Genova’s novel of the same name. Co-starring Alec Baldwin, Kristen Stewart, Kate Bosworth, and Hunter Par. Sandly Oltz, who had been diagnosed with Early Onset Alzheimer’s at age 47, gave tips from her own life about how to cope with the disease:
[Moore] would just ask questions like, ‘What does it feel like to have Alzheimer’s?’ I would say, ‘Well, it’s like all these words [are here] and you can’t find the right one.’
Glen Campbell: I’ll Be Me release
The documentary, Glen Campbell: I’ll Be Me, is released. The documentary chronicles what went on behind the scenes as the performer’s mind degenerated. Campbell’s wife, Kim Woolen:
I’m really proud of him … to be so courageous, to open up and be vulnerable before the whole world.
Princess of R&B movie trailer
Lifetime Network releases the official movie trailer for Aaliyah: The Princess of R&B. Shipp portrays the late singer Aaliyah. Rachael Crawford, Sterling Jarvis and A.J. Saudin also star in the film. The biopic is based on the Christopher Farley book, Aaliyah: More Than a Woman, which follows Aaliyah’s journey from Star Search, to her rise to fame and finally, her tragic passing. Lifetime TV Network:
She sold millions of records and was a budding silver screen star. Yes, Aaliyah was definitely more than a woman.
What We Did On Our Holiday
Pike stars as Abi in the comedy directed by Andy Hamilton and Guy Jenkin, based on the BBC show Outnumbered. Abi and her husband, Doug (David Tennant), hide the tension in their marriage as they travel to the Scottish Highlands to meet Doug’s terminally ill father, Gordie (Billy Connolly). As they focus on their marital troubles, their daughter fulfills a bizarre dying wish by Gordie and forces them to confront their issues. Co-starring Ben Miller and Emilia Jones.
When I read What We Did On Our Holiday I just thought, this is brilliant. I knew that these guys, Andy and Guy, have such an indelible sense of good taste, great sense of humor and just this really original way of working.
Gone Girl
In the thriller based on the novel written by Gillian Flynn and directed by David Fincher, Pike plays the role of Amy, a missing woman suspected to have been murdered by her husband. Co-starring Ben Affleck and Neil Patrick Harris.
There were definitely moments when I felt very uneasy with how much power Amy had. And the interesting thing is, my reaction was to laugh, to get sort of uncontrollable giggles. That was the most curious part of playing her: At the point where she’s at her most powerful, it unnerved something in me.

Gone Girl
In the thriller based on the novel written by Gillian Flynn and directed by David Fincher, Affleck plays the role of Nick Dunne, a man with questionable morals accused of murdering his wife. Co-starring Rosamund Pike and Neil Patrick Harris.
There’s nothing really about this guy or character that I feel connected to personally, except that I have definitely felt as though I was looking at a version of my life that I didn’t recognize through the prism of the media.
The Maze Runner
O’Brien stars in Wes Ball’s adaptation of the James Dashner sci fi-action novel. 16-year-old Thomas awakes with no memory in the centre of a mysterious maze, and must discover its secrets to escape. Co-starring Thomas Brodie-Sangster, Aml Ameen, Kaya Scodelario, Will Poulter, and Ki Hong Lee.
It’s got a great cast and a great first-time director

No Good Deed
In this drama directed by Sam Miller, Henson plays Terri, a devoted wife and mother of two, who lives an ideal life that takes a dramatic turn when her home and children are threatened by a charming stranger who smooth talks his way into her house claiming car trouble. Co-starring Idris Elba, Lesslie Bibb and Kate Del Castillo. Asked she would open a door to a stranger:
No! ( laughs ) And I say that because of the way my house is situated if I’m all the way upstairs. I’m not coming downstairs. I don’t care how fine you are. I don’t like unexpected guests anyway. So I’m like why are you ringing my door bell when you see all the other houses on the block? Why mine? So no, I wouldn’t.
The November Man
In this thriller, directed by Roger Donaldson, Brosnan plays a legendary ex-CIA agent who emerges from retirement to protect a witness, but his mission lands him in the sights of his former protégé in this cat-and-mouse spy thriller based on the novel There are no Spies by Bill Granger. Co-starring Luke Bracey and Olga Kurylenko.
That ambiguity and the ambivalence of his moral stance is something that was appealing. He’s a cultured badass, he’s a seasoned, sassy operative who’s played the game a long time, and been manipulated himself over many years.
The Prince
In this action thriller Willis plays a former assassin and crime boss, Omar. Omar kidnaps the daughter of his old rival Paul, played by Jason Patric – who in the past had killed Omar’s own wife and daughter. Director Brian A. Miller says about working with the cast:
It was like a dream come true…just working with awesome talent.
Sin City: A Dame to Kill For
In this sequel to the 2005’s Sin City, directed Frank Miller and Robert Rodriguez, Willis reprises his role as retired cop Hartigan – but in this version plays the cop’s ghost, who watches over Nancy Halligan (played by Jessica Alba) as she struggles to come to terms with Hartigan’s suicide four years earlier. Halligan takes revenge on Senator Roarke (played by Powers Booth), whom she holds responsible for Hartigan’s death. Also starring Mickey Rourke, Josh Brolin, and Joseph Gordon-Levitt.
It’s like stepping back into a family, and everybody is still enthusiastic about the film, and are highly confident about what they do.
Hector And The Search For Happiness
Pike stars as Clara in the romantic comedy directed by Peter Chelsom and based on the novel by Francois Lelord. Clara’s boyfriend, Hector, travels across the world to seek happiness, and realizes that it is only with Clara that he will find what he is looking for. Co-starring Simon Pegg.
I really liked it. I knew it wouldn’t be a major commitment for me—the Clara portion is contained. I felt that it was the sort of thing that whenever it was ready to go, I could fit it in. Simon and I did know about this when we went into The World’s End. We sort of said, “The next six months, we’ll get to work together.” Which is great. And we have this very easy, very joyous friendship. It’s really nice.
