Hathaway Wants Prada Sequel

Anne Hathaway has admitted that she was so interested in ‘Devil Wears Prada’ sequel that she called the studio chiefs to ask them to write one.

The actress told MTV, “remember calling them after the fervour had died out in America, and Meryl Streep and I were on a press tour in Europe. I was having such a fun time talking about it all that I called up the executives at Fox who had championed it and I said, ‘Can we just come up with a story please?’ And they said ‘We’re working on it.”

Hathaway added, “I’m really, really proud of Fox’s decision not to pursue a sequel. When I did ‘Bride Wars’ with them I asked what happened, and they said, ‘We can’t make a story, and it’s not worth it to damage the original film.’”

“I think if they were to find a story they might, who knows? But sadly, they haven’t come up with one. But who knows? Maybe they will someday.”

Susan Sarandon has claimed that co-working with her daughter on screen was really fun.

The Oscar-winning actress and her daughter Eva Amurri star in ‘Middle Of Nowhere‘, which is about an irresponsible mother blows her eldest daughter’s college fund on her youngest daughter’s modeling campaign.

Susan is satisfied that she’s able to play a bad girl for once.

She told The Sun, “The burden of sincerity is such a drag. You always want to play Hook and not Peter Pan. When you are saying horrible things you can just throw them away and they have such a life of their own.”

Sarandon added, “It’s so much fun to be able to beat up your daughter on film.”

Woody Allen’s LA Hate

Woody Allan doesn’t feel comfortable being in Los Angeles.

The ‘Vicky Cristina Barcelona’ director stated that he feels like a “fish out of water” in the Californian city. Though he’s never hidden his love of his home city of New York.

He said: “I’m like a fish out of water in a town like Los Angeles. You have to drive every place - you can’t walk and the sun beats down on your head. I prefer to be in a more pedestrian city!”

Penelope Cruz - who stars in ‘Vicky Cristina Barcelona’ alongside with Scarlett Johansson - recently revealed Woody is not as excited as the rest of the world about the Hollywood pair’s lesbian kiss in the film.

She said: “Woody could not care less about our kissing scene. When we would ask him about it, he was more interested in a new mark which had appeared on his hand and was worrying him.

“He even stopped shooting so he could go to the doctor and get it checked out. We all had to wait around for him to come back.”

Warner Bros. president Alan Horn stated, that the writers strike is responsible for the dealy.

Winslet Awkward With DiCaprio Love Scenes

According to Digital Spy Kate Winslet has admitted that filming a love scene with Leonardo DiCaprio for their upcoming movie Revolutionary Road was “a bit weird”.

Winslet, who starred opposite DiCaprio in Titanic, told Entertainment Weekly that the discomfort was heightened by the presence of the director, her husband Sam Mendes.

She said: “I just kept saying, ‘This is too… weird’. And Leo was like, ‘Oh, get over it’. And I’m going, ‘Yeah, a little reminder: You’re my best friend. He’s my husband. This is a bit weird’.

“I hadn’t realised how much my chemistry with him since Titanic would still stick. It’s great to discover we can just slip right into it, like muscle memory.”

Mendes added that he was also feeling awkward directing his wife with DiCaprio.

“I will admit it was quite bizarre to direct my wife in how to make love,” he said. “But it’s difficult whether you’re married to a person or not.”

McAvoy The Hollywood’s Biggest Farter

James McAvoy has admitted that he had to take muscle-gain supplements for his role in action movie Wanted and they caused him to constantly break wind.

The Sun quotes the actor as saying, “They made me down these shakes which I had to make from these huge tubs of the stuff. To be fair, it really helped, but it came with a massive side effect of me violently farting. It was so often and so vigorous, I couldn’t stop.”

“When I was filming I was by far the biggest farter in Hollywood. I had to give up the shakes after a month and start eating chicken and steak instead as it was getting embarrassing.”

But it seems like McAvoy couldn’t sacrifice everything to muscle up for the role of downtrodden office worker Wesley Gibson. He said, “I found that caffeine, alcohol and smoking break down muscle and there was no way I was giving them up.”
