Actor Glenn Ford, Portrayed Original Jonathan Kent In First "Superman" Movie, Passes Away

"Actor Glenn Ford, Portrayed Original Jonathan Kent In First "Superman" Movie, Passes Away"

By Arlene R. Weiss © Copyright August 31, 2006

We are sad to report that talented, esteemed, actor, Glenn Ford, beloved and well known to many fans for his wise and loving portrayal of Jonathan Kent, the adoptive father of and pillar of strong moral fiber to Clark Kent (aka Superman) in the original, first, "Superman" movie, in 1978, starring the also late actor, Christopher Reeve, passed away Wednesday, August 30, 2006 reports The Associated Press.

CLICK On The LINK BELOW To VIEW/READ The Full Associated Press Article On Glenn Ford.

http://apnews.myway.com/article/20060831/D8JR4PLG0.html

Ford was a respected fixture in Hollywood who maintained a 5 decades long career, appearing in such classic films as "The Blackboard Jungle", "Gilda", "The Big Heat", and the original movie version of "The Courtship Of Eddie's Father".

Ford, who had suffered ill health due to suffering several strokes in the 1990's, passed on from natural causes and was 90 years old.

Ford, who made a career out of playing heroic, wise, role models, especially as the wisdom imbued and imparting Jonathan Kent in "Superman" and as the dedicated teacher who becomes a mentor to his students in a crime ridden, urban high school in "The Blackboard Jungle", will be missed.

"CHANNING TATUM Read For CUT Role Of GAMBIT In "X-MEN: THE LAST STAND", Says & VIEW INTERVIEW With "X-Men" Films, Producer Lauren Shuler Donner!"

By Arlene R. Weiss © Copyright August 30, 2006

...."X-MEN" FANS!!!!

....CHANNING TATUM FANS!!!!

....YOU better believe that THIS roving entertainment news reporter and self proclaimed FAN of BOTH all of the….

…."X-MEN" films, characters, and comic book series!!!!....and....

....CHANNING TATUM and "STEP UP"!!!!....

....Found something to PLEASE BOTH CAMPS of YOU, the FANS!!!!....

We did a bit of searching on the internet and found an ARCHIVED INTERVIEW with "X-Men: The Last Stand" Producer, Lauren Shuler Donner, Dated, April 2006, from source, the GREAT folks at TheXverse.com....

....Where Donner Discusses that "STEP UP" Star, CHANNING TATUM, auditioned for what became a CUT, role in "X-MEN: THE LAST STAND", of beloved "X-Men" Super Hero, the Rajin' Cajun GAMBIT!!!!....

....CLICK On The LINK BELOW To VIEW/READ Lauren Shuler Donner's INTERVIEW Discussing CHANNING TATUM Auditioning For The Role Of GAMBIT In "X-Men: The Last Stand"!!!!

http://www.thexverse.com/interviews/311.shtml

....Scroll to the LAST Question & Answer at the END of the INTERVIEW!!!! We have posted it for YOU though, BELOW!!!!

....TheXverse.com: "CHANNING TATUM said recently that you asked him to come to Vancouver and he read TWICE for a role in the third film ("X-Men: The Last Stand"), that was ultimately cut. Can you tell us who you had him read for?"

....Lauren Shuler Donner: "CHANNING actually read in Los Angeles, not in Vancouver, during our casting process. And he read for GAMBIT when we thought Gambit might be in the movie."

....Well if the greatly anticipated "X-Men: The Young Generation" spin-off movie or the VERY much hoped for "X-MEN 4" movie make it to the silver screen, WE certainly hope that Lauren Shuler Donner, brings CHANNING TATUM and the character of GAMBIT back, to what WE welcome as part of the "X-MEN" film Universe!!!!....

....A PERFECT MATCH and CASTING CHOICE in OUR OPINION!!!!....

....WE INVITE YOUR COMMENTS HERE About CHANNING TATUM and GAMBIT originally being planned for "X-MEN: THE LAST STAND" and then CUT, and if YOU would like CHANNING to be cast as GAMBIT in potential, FUTURE, "X-MEN" MOVIES!!!!

"Entertainment Weekly's" ARTICLE and INTERVIEW with CHANNING, also has a WONDERFUL, NEW, color photo of Channing at his most GORGEOUS, posed in a leather jacket with the HEADLINE!!!!....

...."Channing Tatum Is Having A Moment: How modeling and She Bang'ing readied the young actor for his "Step Up"."

...."Entertainment Weekly" then says, "One look and it's easy to imagine Channing Tatum's early career as a pinup for Dolce & Gabbana and an extra in Ricky Martin's "She Bangs" video."....

...."What's surprising about the 26 year old star of "STEP UP", which earned $20.7 Million (dollars) over its opening weekend, is that he (Channing), never studied dance."

...."I basically freestyled a lot." Channing says to "Entertainment Weekly". Channing then says, "I'm really good at physical things."

...."Entertainment Weekly" goes on to say, "Well then. Not only does the ex-football player have rhythm, he has charisma to spare, as evidenced by turns in this year's (films), "She's The Man" and Sundance (Film Festival) fave, "A Guide To Recognizing Your Saints", a coming of age Indie (movie), set in Queens (New York), (due for release), September 29, 2006."

...."But the Florida native is MOST excited about shooting "Boys Don't Cry" Director Kimberly Peirce's long awaited, untitled follow up film. TATUM and (actor) Ryan Phillippe play Iraq vets brought home and immediately ordered back overseas."....

...."The material is so good!!!!", says Tatum to "Entertainment Weekly". "Some of the best I've EVER read!!!!"

"Step Up" VIEW MY STERLING, 4 STAR REVIEW!!!!

""Step Up" VIEW MY STERLING, 4 STAR REVIEW!!!!"

By Arlene R. Weiss © Copyright August 19, 2006

YOU probably know by now that WE absolutely LOVE & ADORE, "Step Up", the inspiring, moving, romantic, enchanting, dance flick starring real life canoodling couple, dancer/actor, Channing Tatum and dancer/actress, Jenna Dewan, along with a stellar ensemble cast including, Mario, Drew Sidora, Rachel Griffiths, and more!!!!

....WE want to say that WE saw "Step Up" Sunday, 8/13/2006, WE sat through it TWICE, (and THREE times AGAIN, Sunday, 8/20/2006!), and LOVED it's dance moves, grooves, tunes, 2 acting leads, (Jenna Dewan & Channing Tatum!), the ENTIRE cast!, and moving, TRIUMPHANT story of art, dance, following your dreams to forge a BETTER life filled with HOPE and possibilities, escaping the despair of poverty and a bleak, urban decay life.

....Since WE are a Baltimore, Maryland native, WE loved it taking place at the fictional, Maryland School Of The Arts, based on the REAL LIFE, Baltimore School For The Arts, and YES, we Noticed ALL of the On Location Baltimore scenery at Pier 6 Concert Pavilion, Fells Point, The Inner Harbor, even the infamous, landmark Domino Sugar Factory Bldg. Sign in the background!

....The story of Tyler Gage (Tatum), a foster teen with an incredible gift at hip hop, street dancing, nearly lost in the poverty stricken world that pulls him into a thug life with his 2 homey hoop buddies, Tyler gets caught vandalizing the Maryland School Of The Arts and receives court ordered janitorial community service there.

....Tyler is full of wonder at this magical building where dreams DO happen where he watches in amazement, students playing virtuoso violin and singing in the hall ways, and then his eyes fall on Nora (Dewan), in ballet dance class, moving like a graceful gazelle.

....Nora spies Tyler's electrifying dance moves on the parking lot, and after her own dance partner sprains his ankle, endangering Nora's chances to rehearse for and complete her Senior Dance Showcase (which could potentially secure her the opportunity to be offered a life altering and AFFIRMING job with a National Dance Company), she takes a chance on partnering with the move bustin' Tyler!

....The rest as they say, is history, and MAGIC! The pair rehearse, find themselves falling in love, run into some stumbling blocks caused by Tyler's fear of losing the ONE chance he has to make something of himself and aspire to something BETTER, and Nora's unsupportive Mother, who thinks college is more practical for her daughter than dance.

....Tyler also runs afoul of his own friends and thug life, and Nora's loyalties to Tyler are tested when her regular dance partner returns, ankle healed.

....But WE knew all along these two were meant to be together and that BOTH Tyler and Nora would do the RIGHT THING, especially after Tyler gets caught up in a tragedy involving his 2 best friends that guides his path like a beacon of light, in the right direction.

...."Step Up" is the Directorial Debut of long time movie, (and "Step Up's"!), choreographer, Anne Fletcher, who does her cast proud!!!!!

....The story was written and the script was co-written by Duane Adler, who penned, the also inspiring dance flick, 2001's "Save The Last Dance", (which we also LOVE!)!

....Fletcher and Adler wisely tell their dance and romance fairy tale with well drawn character driven and story development. (The unbreakable, sweet bond, relationship, and moments between Tyler and his Foster Sister and Brother are particularly heart felt, charming and feel totally true and unforced.)

....Though "Step Up's" story is basically a re-tread, that's a TRIFLE, as consider "Step Up", to be, "Save The Last Dance: 2"!!!!....

....Because it's a story worth re-telling and reinventing, timeless and so full of joy and inspiration, so dreamy and romantic, the cinematography so stunning, especially the scene where Tyler and Nora dance at sunset with Baltimore's Inner Harbor in the background, and the choreography so chemistry charged and dynamic, a DELICIOUS mash-up of hip-hop and ballet, seamlessly fused together, especially in the finale, that this film is a delight in every way!!!!

....Look out also for some fine acting from Baltimore, Maryland R&B singing sensation, Mario as the sensitive and determined Miles, a student at the school and aspiring music producer who helps lay down both some slammin' grooves and friendship to both Nora and Tyler!!!!....

....The electrifying actress, singer, dancer, Drew Sidora another student and friend of the group!!!!....

....A cameo by UK blue eyed soul singing sensation, Jamie Scott, who portrays Colin in the film, but tears up our leads and their friends at Pier Six Concert Pavilion which poses as a "nightclub" in the film, with his scorching "Memphis" style, horns backed rendition of "Made"!!!!

....We also want to point out that UNLIKE most dance flicks where the actors do NOT do their own dancing and have "dance doubles", BOTH Tatum and Dewan are 2 gifted Dancers and PROS who have quite a lengthy resume bustin' moves on tour for major recording artists and steppin' out in other movies!!!!

....Tatum is a marvel, using his huge football quarterback like frame to his advantage, forcefully moving as if he were jello on rocket fuel, and the lithe Dewan is equally a marvel, twirling and pirouetting with the striking grace of a swan!!!!....

....Both Tatum and Dewan tear up and reign supreme on the dance floor, throwing down some dazzling, eye popping acrobatics!!!! ....

....We have no idea if the NOW real life couple fell in love during or after the film was in production, but their sweet, tentative, love courtship "dance" into a relationship in the film, certainly comes off as real, as the couple's true life romance!!!!

....But what we remember about "Step Up", is that like, "Save The Last Dance", it shows that no person, no life, is hopeless, that dreams DO come true, that MUSIC, ART, and DANCE, can inspire and guide 2 people beyond their differences into one another's loving hearts & arms, and....

.....SIGNIFICANTLY, give them something BETTER to ASPIRE TO, to lead them out of even the darkest of misfortunes, tragedies, backgrounds, into a world and destiny of HOPE, filled with possibility and a FUTURE, or as Tyler so earnestly declares to Nora, something REAL, WORTH FIGHTING FOR!!!!....

....We give "Step Up" FOUR STARS and YES, in the 2006 Blockbuster Summer Movie Season, this little film that could, does, INDEED, "Step Up"!!!!

By Arlene R. Weiss © Copyright August 18, 2006

Though the film makers of "Snakes On A Plane" chose not to preview the flick to film critics, because the movie was made on BEHALF OF, and FOR the FANS, that didn't stop MTV's Kurt Loder from dropping in on a regular audience, early 10:00 pm screening last night, and just so you know!!!!....

....Kurt and MTV LOVED IT!!!!

CLICK On The LINK BELOW To VIEW MTV's SPOILER FILLED RAVE Review!!!!

http://www.mtv.com/movies/news/articles/1538874/story.jhtml

....SPOILER ALERTS GALORE BELOW!!!!

....Loder elaborates, "I LOVED the new stuff. The snakes are nasty and they do a lot of damage. They CHOMP into EYEBALLS and CHEW through the plane's wiring. One really impressive specimen has the circumference of a fire hose and, and is SO EVIL, it actually GROWLS!!!!".....

....Loder continues, "These rampaging reptiles do a couple of things I felt like I'd waited my whole life to witness....There's a part where a giant python, busily squeezing the guts out of one of the more unpleasant passengers, starts sizing the guy's head with it's ever widening jaws, and then - whoa! Heaven!"....

....WE especially LOVED the part where Kurt Loder says, "There's also a cute little dog that something happens that's so horrible, so uncalled for, you want to stand up and cheer!" (WE take it that Fido gets MUNCHED!!!!)....

....Loder raves, "And of course there's (actor), Sam Jackson, roaring out his exasperation with these doggone snakes and wishing them gone from this doggone aircraft. FINALLY getting to hear him UTTER the ALREADY FAMOUS PHRASE, is pretty great too!"....

....Loder also takes sheer delight in the audience's overwhelmingly THRILLED, positive PARTICIPATION and CHEERS!!!!....

....What WE appreciate, is that Kurt Loder and MTV really enjoy the movie with unabashed, cheese filled, enthusiastic, delightful GLEE, with NO lofty expectations or analyzations, (and therefore no BASHINGS), of a serious or art house film!!!!....

....Loder and MTV simply get comfortable in their theater seat with their popcorn, jujubees, and soda, and REVEL in what this film is ALL about, and GET THE POINT of WHAT "Snakes On A Plane" is ALL about!!!!....

....FUN!!!!....

....Just a SSSStupendously enjoyable, over the top, action packed, fright filled, popcorn flick which WE can't wait to SSSSSEEEEE!!!!

....JOHNNY also PLAYED GUITAR in his DELICIOUSLY, charming, romantic and charismatic role as the dashing Gypsy, Roux, in Director Lasse Hallestrom's Indie Flick, "Chocolat"!!!!....

....WE can't wait to hear this double CD! WE are CERTAIN, that like everything JOHNNY DEPP applies his creative gifts and talents to, it will ROCK....in a PIRATE way of course, MATEYS!!!!

"X-MEN 4" MOVIE CONFIRMED! STARS In Negotiations, NEWER Cast Members ALREADY SIGNED! "WOLVERINE' Gets NEW SCREENWRITER!

""X-MEN 4" MOVIE CONFIRMED! STARS In Negotiations, NEWER Cast Members ALREADY SIGNED!!"

""WOLVERINE" Spin-Off Movie Gets NEW SCREENWRITER David Ayer!"

By Arlene R. Weiss © Copyright August 14, 2006

IT'S OFFICIAL!!!! There WILL Be an "X-MEN 4" MOVIE!!!!

Like YOU really thought that with the multi-teaser, cliff hanger open ending of "X-Men: The Last Stand", that it was REALLY the LAST "X-Men" movie, (spin-off films notwithstanding)!

"X-Men" Films NO LONGER A TRILOGY, Executive Producer, since there are NOW, MORE, "X-Men" installment films to come, Lauren Shuler Donner, straight out CONFIRMED and told The Los Angeles Daily News!!!!...

...."The newer cast members are already signed, and the older cast members are not".

....Donner alluded to the fact that "X-Men" movie STARS, Hugh Jackman, Halle Berry, Famke Janssen, Rebecca Romijn, and Anna Paquin are expected to, (WE FEEL, DESERVEDLY SO), ask for and negotiate for higher fees, (smartly knowing that FANS EXPECT and WANT them BACK as THE KEY ENSEMBLE PLAYERS, REPRISING THEIR SIGNATURE ROLES!!!!)....

....Also, knowing how very business savvy, actors and stars are these days, and that the key to the SUCCESS of most MAJOR FILM or TV FRANCHISES DEPENDS on those actors/stars REPRISING THEIR ROLES, that could even include the key stars negotiating and expecting the film making powers to be, to pony up for the STARS in their NEW CONTRACTS, percentages of the box office gross takes, DVD sales, TV broadcast licensing fees, and merchandising!!!!

....Hugh Jackman even served as CO-PRODUCER on "X-Men: The Last Stand" (and we hear he is likewise doing so on the "WOLVERINE" spin-off movie), and even had big cheese, approval and final say in Brett Ratner coming on as Director.

....Hey, if it was good enough for the CAST of "FRIENDS" and "ER", it's MORE than WORTH IT for the CAST of "X-MEN 4"!!!!

....We would just like to add, our own personal, WE TOLD YOU SO!!!! (about there being an "X-Men 4" MOVIE!!!!) and YEAHHHHHHH!!!!

....In OTHER "X-Men" film news, we hear from movieweb.com, that the much anticipated "WOLVERINE" spin-off movie's original and 2nd draft script by screenwriter David Benioff is being RE-written in a NEW treatment developed by screenwriter David Ayer, and is expected to hit screens BEFORE "X-Men 4", along with the much ballyhooed "Magneto" prequel movie.

Actor, James Marsden, aka Cyclops discusses HIS possible REPRISAL, RETURN As CYCLOPS in "X-MEN 4" and "WOLVERINE" to movieweb.com as well!

....OUR FAVORITE part of this INTERVIEW, is when Director Johnson discusses, "One of the film's breakout scenes is an underwater battle with Cage's head aglow!!!!"....

...."What we wanted to do is show that hellfire - the Ghost Rider's Fire - is NOT like normal fire; it's got it's own special properties, so it can burn underwater," Johnson explained. "It's cold to the touch and it's got all these different properties that can give expression to the flaming skull."

....Johnson goes on to tell MTV.com that, "That is a fight scene between Ghost Rider and one of the demons who's a water demon, and as they fight under water, and Johnny is getting choked out, he transforms under water. Basically, it's an atomic blast, which cooks this demon under water!!!!"

WOW!!!! WE'RE On FIRE for this Super Hero Flick!!!!

CLICK On The LINK BELOW To VIEW JOHNNY DEPP'S Empireonline EXCLUSIVE INTERVIEW!!!!

http://www.empireonline.com/interviews_and_events/interview.asp?IID=554

....OUR FAVORITE PART Of This Interview is....when JOHNNY tells Empireonline, that he would be more than HAPPY to CONTINUE ON, portraying CAPTAIN JACK SPARROW, in MORE, FUTURE, "Pirates Of The Caribbean" movie sequels after "Pirates 3", saying!!!!....

...."I'd be happy to keep going....So if these guys (Walt Disney Motion Pictures) wanted to continue on, on this same ride, (meaning making MORE "Pirates Of The Caribbean" film sequels), if everything was in the right place and the story was good, I'd stay on the ride for sure....I'm not looking forward to saying goodbye to Jack Sparrow."....

....(Johnny Depp turns towards Producer Jerry Bruckheimer when he says this and says to Bruckheimer), "Hint, Hint"!"

....Johnny tells Empireonline about playing and reprising his now signature role as Captain Jack Sparrow, "I just very selfishly enjoy playing the character. I LOVE playing the guy....Purely because it's fun....I'm surprised they pay me for it actually."....

Empireonline asks Johnny, "What's it like seeing one of your characters entering the popular consciousness in such a massive way?"

....Johnny replies thoughtfully and appreciatively, "It's obviously very touching when you see a kid dressed up as your character, because a couple of years ago, that character didn't exist. So to see some little kid that affected by something you've done is moving."....

....Johnny also fondly tells empireonline that, "The fact that audiences came in and (have) supported me was a win-win situation."

....LOOK OUT for JOHNNY discussing HOW he developed HIS OWN DISTINCTIVE take, mannerisms, and such for creating CAPTAIN JACK SPARROW, making the character HIS VERY OWN!!!!
