“Every second spent explaining things puts more innocent civilians at risk,” our hero Captain Colter Stevens (Jake Gyllenhaal) is told when he asks his controller how come he’s just woken up as a teacher called Sean Fentriss on a commuter train heading into Chicago, then been blown up with it in a terrorist bombing after eight minutes.
Stevens repeatedly, paradoxically, amusingly, thrillingly relives these minutes – and falls in love with charming, doomed fellow-passenger Christina (Michelle Monaghan).
This romantic, touching film about changing life’s pre-written scripts seems feelgood, but, as with Jones’s previous film, Moon, implies a darker vortex of proliferating realities and outcomes. Source: www.telegraph.co.uk

Emma Watson on fighting to balance education and work: “I have felt for the last ten years I have had this battle; I’ve been fighting so hard to have an education. It’s been this uphill struggle. I was Warner Bros.’ pain in the butt. I was their scheduling conflict. I was the one who made life difficult. I just realized at one point that I can’t fight everything. I have to move in the direction of it—and go with it.”
Rambova had taken exotic stills of Myrna for an unreleased movie "What Price Beauty?" that made the rounds to fan magazines and interest from Warner Brothers who signed her for a contract in the mid 1920's. Some of her first films playing a femme fatale we're in "A Girl in Every Port" 1928 starring Louise Brooks and Victor McLaglen. By 1929 she had co-star billing opposite Victor McLaglen again in the war adventure "The Black Watch". The film was directed by John Ford and Myrna was made up to play a native princess who wins the heart of the British soldier. Her third role as the non American beauty who captures a mans heart came in "The Perfect Song" 1929 starring John Boles.
Myrna Loy (1905-1993)
Born as Myrna Adele Williams, Myrna Loy was known as one of the Queens of Hollywood in the 30's. At the end of the silent era, Myrna Loy started her career as an exotic, Theda Bara-like femme fatale. Fortunately, she was rescued by the advent of the sound picture, where she was recast in the role of the witty, urbane, professional woman. Myrna Loy and William Powell in "The Thin Man" 1934
She is best remembered for her role of Nora Charles opposite William Powell in six "Thin Man" movies.

Emile Hirsch at Comic-Con: Day 3 on 23rd July 2011
Emile Hirsch hides behind a car in Russia’s famous Red Square in The Darkest Hour (2011) directed by Chris Gorak
"They can see us, but we can't see them". Summit has debuted the first official trailer for sci-fi thriller The Darkest Hour, directed by Chris Gorak (Right at Your Door), starring Emile Hirsch, Joel Kinnaman, Olivia Thirlby and Rachael Taylor. We've been teasing the reveal of this trailer with plenty of concept art, but finally get to take a look at this and it looks awesome. It's a fresh twist on alien invasion thrillers, as the extraterrestrials really are electrical forces, and the things they can do with that are just, well, awesome. This has slight a District 9 feel (the weaponry) but I think it looks great, there's never enough original sci-fi!
Directed by Chris Gorak (Right at Your Door), produced by Timur Bekmambetov (Wanted, Abraham Lincoln: Vampire Hunter) and written by Jon Spaihts (Ridley Scott's Prometheus), the film is about five young people who find themselves stranded in Moscow, fighting to survive in the wake of a devastating alien attack. Emile Hirsch (Speed Racer) leads the cast including Olivia Thirlby (Juno), Max Minghella (The Social Network), Rachael Taylor (Transformers) and Joel Kinnaman. Summit Entertainment is bringing Chris Gorak's The Darkest Hour to theaters on December 23rd, Christmas weekend, this winter. Source: www.firstshowing.net
