“X-Files” star Gillian Anderson posed nude with a conger eel wrapped around her shoulders to show support for U.K. based Fishlove’s new campaign in support of sustainable fishing. While the sight of naked Scully is welcomed, that is one ugly fucking eel. One look at that thing, and people will want them extinct.
OK… I’m kidding. Eels are awesome… especially in sushi and Japanese porn. The shot was taken by French portrait photographer Denis Rouver. To show your support, visit Fishlove’s website and sign a petition.
Anderson, best known for playing FBI Agent Dana Scully on “The X-Files,” is a recurring on NBC’s new “Hannibal” series, playing Hannibal Lecture’s shrink. She’s recently starred in a string of genre offerings, including the robot-apocalypse drama Our Robot Overloads, the alien thriller I’ll Follow You Down, and the zom–com Curse of the Buxom Strumpet.
Wonder Woman fans are getting their star-spangled Underroos in bunch over Warner Bros. and director Zack Snyder’s casting of Fast & Furious franchise star Gal Gadot as the iconic Amazonian Princess in Batman Vs. Superman. The part is the Israeli stunner’s first lead role.
Snyder said:
Wonder Woman is arguably one of the most powerful female characters of all time and a fan favorite in the DC Universe.
Not only is Gal an amazing actress, but she also has that magical quality that makes her perfect for the role.
We look forward to audiences discovering Gal in the first feature film incarnation of this beloved character.
Gadot reportedly edged out French starlet Elodie Yung (G.I. Joe: Retaliation) and Ukrainian goddess Olga Kurylenko(Oblivion) for the role. Personally, I favored Jaimie Alexander (Thor: The Dark World), who expressed interest in playing Wonder Woman a couple of months back.
Batman Vs. Superman will have Man of Steel actors Henry Cavill, Amy Adams, Laurence Fishburne and Diane Lane reprising their roles. Batman will be played by Ben Affleck, stepping in for Christian Bale, who played the Caped Crusader in Warner Bros. Dark Knight trilogy.
Warner Bros. released a new trailer for Noam Murro’s 300: Rise of an Empire, a companion film to the Zack Snyder-directed blockbuster 300, has gone online. Snyder produces and adapts the Frank Miller graphic novel with screenwriter Kurt Johnstad (300, Act of Valor).
Rise of an Empire follows Athenian general Themistokles (Sullivan Stapleton) as he battles Persian king Xerxes (Rodrigo Santoro) and his vengeful navy commander Artemesia (Eva Green). The events occur at the same time that King Leonidas is leading his 300 Spartans into the Battle of Thermopylae.
300: Rise of an Empire arrives in theaters March 7, 2014.
Oona Chaplin (“Game of Thrones”) is set to star in the Spanish thriller Purgatorio. Chaplin, the great granddaughter of Charlie Chaplin, will play a woman who agrees to babysit a neighbor’s creepy kid. Things go bad when the neighbor never returns, and the child claims to see a mysterious boy in the house.
According to Variety, the role marks Chaplin’s first gig as lead actress. The film is directed by Catalan Pau Teixidor for Apaches Entertainment, and co-stars Andres Gertrudix (The Orphanage), Ana Fernandez (“Talk to Her”), and Sergi Mendez (“Hispania , la Leyenda”).
Chaplin held bit parts in the insanely awesome Saddam Hussein drama The Devil’s Double and the James Bond actioner Quantum of Solace. She is best known, however, for her tragic role as Robb Stark’s pregnant wife Talisa Maegyr on HBO’s “Game of Thrones.”
