Die Another Day
Pike plays the undercover MI6 agent Miranda Frost in the 20th James Bond film, directed by Lee Tamahori. After Bond is captured in North Korea, Frost is revealed to be a double agent and battles a female NSA agent aboard a plane carrying a doomsday device. Pierce Brosnan, Halle Berry, Toby Stephens, Rick Yune, John Cleese, and Judi Dench co-star.
Before I was cast as a Bond girl, I had never actually seen a James Bond movie. The Bond audition was strange—I’d just come back from China, doing the kind of hippie-backpacking thing that people do when they leave school. All the girls in this beautiful old town house waiting to see the casting director were sleek and dressed in what seemed to me like leather. I was wearing something very thick and woolly. I was convinced I was all wrong.
Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets
Watson stars as Hermione Granger in the film Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets, the second installment of the Harry Potter series. In the movie Harry, along with Hermione and Ron, must figure out what is causing the mysterious attacks at Hogwarts.
I think in the second book Hermione kind of develops. She becomes more friendly with Harry and Ron and she definitely becomes more easy going.
Unbreakable performance
Jackson performs Unbreakable on during his Invincible tour to promote his album Invincible in Valencia, California.
McDonald’s ‘Grimace’ ad
Trump appears in a McDonald’s commercial for “Big ‘n’ Tasty’ burgers with Grimace, a McDonald’s character. Company:
Combining our beloved characters with a high-powered celebrity like Donald Trump and adding a little humor really resonated with consumers as a way to bring our value offer to life. Casting our own famous characters in these ads will bring back fond memories of classic McDonald’s advertising that our customers have always enjoyed.
Trump:
The Big N’ Tasty for a dollar is a great sandwich at a great price. I’m proud to be the one to tell America that beginning Oct. 4, the buck stops at McDonald’s.
Ring of Honor debut
Punk debuts for Ring of Honor. He cuts an in-ring promo and claims he is shocked that the crowd recognizes him.
I got a phone call while I was out with my head injury. The first thing Gabe asked me was how my head was, which was rally cool. Then he asked me if I would be ready to work in November and I told him no problem. I got myself and Cabana in the group. We were working the 3PW show on I think September 21st and we walked across the street to the MurphyRecreation Center where ROH runs and they asked me to do an in-ring promo. I went out there and was surprised at the reaction as the fans knew who Cabana and I were.
One Hour Photo
In this thriller, Williams plays Sy Parrish, a lonely photo store clerk who becomes obsessed with a family whose photos he develops. Directed by Mark Romanek, this is one of the few movies starring Williams that do not offer any comic relief. Co-starring Connie Nielsen, Michael Vartan, and Will Smith.
It might be the work is just so precise so as a whole piece, I think it is the best I have done in a long time.
Like I Love You performance
Timberlake performs Like I Love You during the MTV Video Music Awards show to promote Justified.
Insomnia
In the crime thriller directed by Christopher Nolan, Williams plays the murderer of a teenage girl in Nightmute, AK, during summertime when there is 24 hours of daylight. Co-starring Al Pacino, Hilary Swank and Martin Donovan. Nolan:
We’d been looking for somebody to play opposite Al who is not only a tremendous actor, but who also has a similar kind of audience identification with his star persona.
MTV Unplugged performance
Lauryn Hill performs a full concert during MTV Unplugged to promote her live album MTV Unplugged 2.0.
End Of The Road performance
Boyz II Men perform End of the Road at the BET Awards from their album Cooleyhighharmony.
Hard To Explain performance

Cadet Kelly
Duff stars in the Disney Channel original movie Cadet Kelly. Duff plays character Kelly who gets sent to military school by her new stepfather. The film also features Disney Channel actress Christy Carlson Romano as Kelly’s school rival.
I had to learn how to twirl these big riffles, stand up straight and salute. It was so hard.
John Q
Washington plays John Quincy Archibald in the drama, John Q. After collapsing at his baseball game due to his enlarged heart, Archibald’s son, Michael is left no other option but to undergo a heart transplant. After being told that his insurance doesn’t cover his son’s transplant, Archibald takes the hospital hostage and demands the doctors save Michael’s life.
My character is a very sweet guy, a positive family man. One of my producing partners said, ‘If they don’t like you in Training Day, John Q can be your apology to your public.’
MTV Unplugged performance
Jay Z and The Roots perform a full concert including the single Izzo (H.O.V.A.) during MTV Unplugged to promote their album Jay-Z Unplugged.
Ocean’s Eleven
Pitt stars in this Steven Soderbergh remake of the 1960 film. He plays Rusty Ryan, the loyal sidekick of con-man Danny Ocean, played by George Clooney. Together with several other cohorts, the two men plot a heist at the casinos of Terry Benedict, who also happens to be the boyfriend of Danny’s ex-wife Tess, played by Julia Roberts. Other cast members include Andy Garcia, Matt Damon, Don Cheadle, and Carl Reiner. On his character’s constant eating:
It was just something that started, and couldn’t stop. I don’t know what happened. It’s just the idea that you never have time to sit down and have a meal while you’re trying to pull off this heist, so he’s grabbing food all the time.
Harry Potter and the Sorcerer’s Stone
Watson makes her screen debut in Harry Potter and the Sorcerer’s Stone. She stars as Hermione Granger, Harry’s brainy, bossy friend born to non-magic, “Muggle” parents.
Hermione sounds like me and behaves like me. She’s self-assured, irritating, emotional and loyal. Playing her doesn’t involve an awful lot of acting.
Training Day
Washington plays detective Alonzo Harris in the crime drama Training Day, alongside costar Ethan Hawke. Hawke plays rookie Jack Hoyt on his first day on a Los Angeles police narcotics team being trained by Harris. Hoyt quickly finds out that Harris’ methods are nothing close to ethical.
A lot of credit goes to Antoine Fuqua, the director. He brought the gangster aspect into it. That line ‘King Kong ain’t got nothin’ on me…” I made that up. The character’s ego, he just did not think he could lose.
Serendipity
Beckinsale plays Sara Thomas in the romantic comedy Serendipity opposite actor John Cusack. The story revolves around Sara’s strong belief in love and destiny. Throughout the movie, Sara conducts many tests of fate to see if she and Jonathan are really “meant to be.”
They saved all the kissing scenes up at the end of Pearl Harbor and the Serendipity ones were right at the beginning, so I was literally going from one man to the next.
Joy Ride
Walker plays Lewis Thomas in Joy Ride, a thriller road film. Lewis, in an attempt to win his childhood friend’s heart, offers to take her home from college. On the road, they encounter a murderous truck driver, Rusty Nail, and take it upon themselves to bring him to justice.
Joyride was an awesome script, I liked John’s shots…Steve Zahn’s awesome, I loved doing stuff with him, I laughed my ass off.
Don’t Say a Word
Bartusiak plays the young daughter of Dr. Nathan Conrad (Michael Douglas) in this psychological thriller, written by Patrick Smith Kelly and directed by Gary Fleder. She is kidnapped in attempt to get her father who is a therapist, to unlock crucial pieces of details from one of his catatonic patients. During an interview when asked if she enjoyed making the film
I love working with Brittany Murphy. And Conrad Goode, who plays the bad guy in Don’t Say A Word, taught me to play blackjack and poker.
