The overnight success Robert Pattinson experienced with "Twilight" has made him one of the most sought-after young actors today. But, many will undoubtedly argue that it is too soon for the 23-year-old to get his own feature length documentary. Regardless, Revolver Entertainment has taken the chance and put his relatively short span of life under the microscope in a new DVD titled "Robsessed".
This feature documentary, for those who are not very familiar with RPattz, does provide "the ultimate, all-access guide" to this international heartthrob. It invites them to trace back this British actor's childhood, detailing on his struggles in school, his loves for music, how he got into modeling, the indie films he took before "Twilight" and why he is such an outcast in "Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire".
Don't be fooled by the title, though. While it seems that the one-hour documentary may revolve around the phenomenon that is Robert Pattinson, »

Producer Jerry Bruckheimer has confirmed that Disney is moving forward with its planned movie based on The Lone Ranger, with Johnny Depp cast as native American sidekick Tonto.
Bruckheimer said they were now aiming for a 2012 release. Mike Newell - whose credits include Four Weddings and a Funeral, Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire and upcoming Prince of Persia: The Sands of Time - is attached to direct the feature.
Bruckheimer told Sci-Fi Wire that Pirates of the Caribbean writers Ted Elliot and Terry Rossio had worked with other writers and Johnny Depp on The Lone Ranger to create "something that has a kind of true-to-the-western [feel], but adding other additional elements like we did with Pirates so it won't be just a straight-ahead western."
As for the casting of the Ranger, he said: "We're still creating a pretty wide net and figuring it out. It comes down to who »

Giving first looks at the magical dagger, Jake Gyllenhaal's Dastan, Gemma Arterton's Tamina and the action-packed adventure they are in, the newly-released official trailer for "Prince of Persia: Sands of Time" also showed a lack of demonic creatures. In an interview with IGN, creator Jordan Mechner confirmed that "there are no sand monsters in the movie."
"For the game, turning everybody in the world into sand monsters was really useful because it created an inexhaustible supply of enemies," the screenwriter explained on the reason why. "But that's a story that's meant to be played with a controller in your hand, and a movie is meant to be shared by an audience. So we didn't want to make a movie about fighting monsters."
On the action sequences, the video game designer gushed, "The parkour here is very exciting, very extreme." Producer Jerry Bruckheimer chimed in, "We brought in the key experts out of France. »

Producer Jerry Bruckheimer is definitely aiming to recapture his Pirates of the Caribbean mojo with Prince of Persia: The Sands of Time, if this trailer is any indication. From the humor on display to the cinematography, this thing wishes so badly it had Johnny Depp in its clutches.
However, it gets Jake Gyllenhaal instead. Which isn’t inherently a bad thing, but he seems woefully out of place here (and way too bulky to play the fast and deadly Prince). His accent is horrible. With a double dose of this and Sir Ben Kingsley, this might be unbearable.
However, I have hope — with a little decently shot action, any film of this caliber can be redeemed. Prince of Persia is directed by Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire’s Mike Newell, and is slated to be released on May 28 of next year.

The first theatrical trailer for Jerry Bruckheimer's Prince of Persia: The Sands of Time film has been released in a tidal wave of CGI sand and elaborate special effects befitting the Ubisoft video game series from which the film draws inspiration.
In the film, a rogue prince played by Jake Gyllenhaal and a mysterious princess played by Gemma Arterton are tasked to carry a sacred dagger with the power to reverse time to its resting place before the forces of evil acquire it for their own nefarious intentions.
Prince of Persia is directed by Mike Newell of Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire fame and co-stars Alfred Molina and Ben Kingsley. Look for it to help kick-off the 2010 summer movie blockbuster season and hope to reverse the trend of bad video game-to-film adaptations on May 28.
