Billy Connolly talks about 'Gulliver's Travels'

Billy Connolly and fellow cast members Jack Black and Emily Blunt recently spoke to the folks over at Bleeding Cool about working on Gulliver's Travels, which opened in the US on Christmas Day. A brief quote is below, and you can read the full interview at the source.

Did Connolly enjoy being a king? He said:

It’s terrific to be the king. I’ve been the king for a long time, it’s a joy. It’s an absolute joy to swan… So little is asked of you. You get the sparkliest uniforms and sword and you just swan around. It’s fabulous. I tried to be a kind of Prince Charlesy king. I think if he was a king he’d be a jolly casual sort of king and so I tried to be him. I rather like him.

Dougray Scott campaigns to save Cineworld cinema

Dougray Scott and other celebrities including Joely Richardson and Ralph Fiennes, have reportedly joined a campaign to save a 1930s art deco cinema in London.

...[they] added their voices to the hundreds of Hammersmith residents who are fighting the council's proposed redevelopment of the town hall in King Street.

The Cineworld cinema and a nearby housing complex for people with sight loss would be demolished.

...Fiennes said the cinema should be preserved for future generations and Scott described the loss of low-cost housing as “scandalous”. [Mira Bar-Hillel]

Gerard Butler to start shooting 'Playing the Field' in March

Playing the Field (originally called Slide) is now scheduled to begin production sometime in March. Gerard Butler started out as just producing the film through Evil Twins, but was cast in the lead role a few months ago.

When it was called Slide, the story centered on a ex-professional baseball player who tries to reconnect with his son and ex-wife by coaching the boy's little league team. Now that it's Playing the Field, the action has moved from the baseball field to the soccer field, with Butler attached to play a retired soccer star. Both editions of the story had the ex-player having to fight off the mothers of other kids on his son's team. [Rebecca Murray]
