Pompeii: Jon Snow VS. The Volcano

 

A ripped and ready Kit Harington, best known for his role as the ever-troubled (and heavily-clothed) Jon Snow on "Game of Thrones," takes center stage in the first trailer for "Pompeii," director Paul W.S. Anderson's upcoming historical romance/disaster film.

"Pompeii" follows in the footsteps (or wake, rather) of "Titanic" by recreating a historical tragedy in the context of an epic (and probably doomed) romance. The film centers around the ancient Roman town-city near modern Naples that was mostly destroyed and buried under 13 to 20 feet of ash following the eruption of Mount Vesuvius in 79 A.D. ... an event that makes the love affair between a slave (Harington) and young maiden (Emily Browning) even more complicated.

The trailer, seen here first on Yahoo! Movies, opens with some dreamlike images of falling ash, covering what is soon revealed to be many dead bodies. An impressive sight, but nowhere near impressive as the shot that immediately follows: Harington showing off the fact that he's been spending a lot of time in the gym lately as he strides into leading man status with a look of grim (and, for some, swoon-worthy) determination.

It's rather strange to see Harington in such skimpy attire. Sure, he got nekkid with Rose Leslie (as fiery Free Folk warrior woman Ygritte) in at least one episode of "Game of Thrones" — but for the most part, Jon Snow has been covered head to toe in wintry gear as a steward of the Night's Watch. GoT has certainly given him some experience with nature gone wild and cities in distress, though ... as did last year's "Silent Hill: Revelation," a town that has seen more than its fair share of ash and fire.

As cheesy (cheesecake?) as "Pompeii" looks, it's still nice to see Paul W.S. Anderson doing something besides "Resident Evil" and "Death Race" movies. It actually seems like he's overdue for a large-scale historical action epic, as he seemed to be heading in that direction earlier in his career with ambitious (and not bad) sci-fi films like "Event Horizon" and "Soldier" before becoming distracted with things like ... well, "Resident Evil" and "Death Race" movies.

Plus, with "Pompeii," Adewale Akinnuoye-Agbaje has finally found a character with a name almost as cool as his own: "Bridgageous."

"Pompeii" will erupt in theaters on February 21, 2014.

Divo of The Day “Tyler Hoechlin” (8/21/13)

 

Tyler Lee Hoechlin was born on September 11, 1987. Tyler is an American actor who got his big break starring as Tom Hanks' son in the 2002 film Road to Perdition. Tyler is best known for playing the role of Martin Brewer on 7th Heaven. Tyler is best known as Derek Hale, a mysterious Alpha werewolf in the MTV series Teen Wolf.

 

 

Tyler is also being heavily considered for the part of Bruce Wayne / Batman and will be getting a screen test alongside Henry Cavill. Warner Bros. and Zack Snyder are looking at someone to play the new Batman with a reputation similar to Cavill. It's also said that better known actors could also be testing for the role. As filming is expected to begin in early 2014, screen tests should be happening soon.

 

 

Regarding the plot of the film: "The sequel is set a year after Man of Steel, and the world is still getting used to having this powerful god on the planet who isn't fully trusted by everybody. Batman certainly doesn't trust Superman. Superman doesn't trust Batman; either of which causes the two to clash when they initially meet. They do however pair up to defeat the villains (not 100% confirmed who the villains are).

 

 

BuddyTV ranked him #3 on its list of "TV's Sexiest Men of 2011"

Tribute: Lee Thomas Young (1984-2013)

Former Disney Channel Star Lee Thompson Young Found Dead

By Kelly Woo (Yahoo! TV)
 

Lee Thompson Young

Lee Thompson Young, a former Disney Channel star who appeared on "Rizzoli & Isles," was found dead this morning at the age of 29.

 

Police confirmed that the versatile young actor died in an apparent suicide of a gunshot wound. TMZ reports that Young’s landlord found him when he did not report to the set of the TNT drama this morning.

 

When officers arrived to his apartment at the 5000 block of Tujunga Avenue, they pronounced him dead at the scene. There is no word on whether Young left a note, and the coroner is taking over the case.

"It is with great sadness that I announce that Lee Thompson Young tragically took his own life this morning," said Young's long-time manager Jonathan Baruch in a statement.

 

  "Lee was more than just a brilliant young actor, he was a wonderful and gentle soul who will be truly missed. We ask that you please respect the privacy of his family and friends as this very difficult time."

 

Young began his acting career early, appearing in community theater as a child before heading toward the bright lights of New York City. There, he auditioned for and won the main role in Disney's "The Famous Jett Jackson." The show lasted for three seasons and a TV movie.

 

After the end of the series, Young appeared in Jamie Foxx's "Redemption: The Stan Tookie Williams Story" and in the "Friday Night Lights" movie as Chris Comer. He also landed guest roles in TV shows including "The Guardian," "South Beach," and "Smallville."

 

In 2009, Young starred in the short-lived sci-fi drama "FlashForward" as an FBI agent who commits suicide to prevent a death.

 

His latest work was in TNT's "Rizzoli & Isles" as Det. Barry Frost, Rizzoli's (Angie Harmon) partner.

 

Young graduated with honors from the University of Southern California.

Tribute: Elvis Presley (1935-1977)

Elvis Aaron Presley, was born on January 8, 1935 and passed away on August 16, 1977. Elvis was an American singer, musician and actor. He was one of the most significant cultural icons of the 20th century; he is often referred to as "The King of Rock & Roll", or simply, "The King".

 

Elvis was born in Tupelo, Mississippi, and at the age of 13, he moved with his family to Memphis, Tennessee. His music career began there in 1954, when he started to work with Sam Phillips, the owner of Sun Records. Accompanied by guitarist Scotty Moore and bassist Bill Black. Elvis was an early popularize of rockabilly, an up-tempo, backbeat-driven fusion of country music and rhythm and blues. Elvis' first RCA single, "Heartbreak Hotel", released in January 1956, was a #1 hit in the US. He became the leading figure of rock and roll after a series of network television appearances and chart-topping records. His energized interpretations of songs and sexually provocative performance style, combined with a singularly potent mix of influences across color lines that coincided with the dawn of the Civil Rights Movement, made him enormously popular—and controversial.

 

In November 1956, he made his film debut in Love Me Tender. In 1958 he was drafted into military service: He resumed his recording career two years later, producing some of his most commercially successful work before devoting much of the 1960s to making Hollywood movies and their accompanying soundtrack albums, most of which were critically derided. In 1968, following a seven-year break from live performances, he returned to the stage in the acclaimed televised comeback special, Elvis, which led to an extended Las Vegas concert residency and a string of highly profitable tours. In 1973, Presley was featured in the first globally broadcast concert via satellite, Aloha from Hawaii. Several years of prescription drug abuse severely deteriorated his health, and he died in 1977 at the age of 42.

 

Presley is one of the most celebrated musicians of 20th-century. Commercially successful in many genres, including pop, blues and gospel, he is the best-selling solo artist in the history of recorded music. Elvis was nominated for 14 Grammys and won three, receiving the Grammy Lifetime Achievement Award at age 36. He has been inducted into multiple music halls of fame.
