Ryan Reynolds addresses Deadpool’s PG-13 rating

In his legendary comics, the foul mouthed mercenary’s adventures break the fourth wall and are infamously gory but it wasn’t clear if Fox’s new Deadpool film would be as explicit as the source material. When the guys at Extra interviewed star and producer Ryan Reynolds (Safe House, Buried) he had a slightly explicit response to the question about whether Fox would be heavily censoring the X-Men spin off. In the film itself, Reynolds’ co stars are Morena Baccarin (Serenity, Homeland), TJ Miller (Silicon Valley, Big Hero 6), Ed Skrein (Ill Manors) and Gina Carano (Haywire, Fast and Furious 6) with debut director Tim Miller.

Results for Eddies and ADGAs and Ed Skrein is the new Transporter

It was recently reported that Jason Statham’s The Mechanic was to be issued a sequel with he as the main star once more. Now, another confirmation has come in stating that another Statham franchise was to be rebooted with a new star!

The Transporter trilogy is probably the Stath’s most iconic and well known performance, alongside Crank, Switch and Lock Stock, and is probably his best selling, with the blockbusting third instalment boosting the series total to about $220 million, but he’s not to be included in the new prequel/reboot. Variety has confirmed that Ed Skrein will be replacing Statham as the younger Frank Martin in an origin tale. The London born Skrein is notably fastened into the hard-edged, gangster role after his work on Ill Manors and The Sweeney as well as playing Daar Naharis in Game of Thrones. The producers’, among them Luc Besson, next stop will be hiring a director.

A win in Best Editing can always be a sign for a Best Picture winner at the Academy Awards. Nearly all of the awards focus this year has been on visually stunning, space-set epic Gravity and period drama of struggle and injustice 12 Years a Slave. However, the American Cinema Editing Awards (or Eddies) have announced three surprising winners. Best Editing in Drama was received by Paul Greengrass’ electrifying hostage thriller Captain Phillips and Best Editing in Comedy was won by David O’Russell’s star studded gangster tale American Hustle. Best Editing in Animation went to Disney’s family fantasy adventure Frozen, directed by Chris Buck and Jennifer Lee. Meanwhile at the Art Directors Guild for Excellence in Production Design awards went to cyber love story Her and Baz Luhrmann’s exuberant, jazz-age drama The Great Gatsby.
