Josh walking in NYC June 27th, 2010 | Posted by Annie

Josh walking in NYC, looking pretty slick: And Josh is in an internet-exclusive feature-length film called, Girl Walks Into a Bar. It will be released on Hulu and Youtube in September. Josh stars alongside Rosario Dawson, Zachary Quinto, Danny DeVito, Emmanuelle Chriqui and Carla Gugino. In other news related to Josh: Bill Murray was featured in Blackbook magazine recently and the article written about him also mentions Josh: “Murray was dining at a restaurant in Brooklyn, where he can often be found blending in with the locals. Josh Hartnett, an actor he couldn’t quite place, approached him. ‘This guy shakes my hand and says, ‘You worked on Lost in Translation with my [then] girlfriend. Was she as much trouble for you as she was for me?’ But Scarlett [Johansson] was 17 when I worked with her, so no, she wasn’t,’ he says. ‘I don’t want to hurt anyone’s feelings, but I don’t know who the fuck anyone is. I go through US Weekly, and it’s filled with reality stars I’ve never heard of. I don’t recognize anyone. People? Forget it.” Source: NYmag.com And UK TV presenter, Miquita Oliver, mentions Josh in her interview: Miquita also finds it a challenge to interview anyone she has the hots for. ‘I just turn to mush and it’s so annoying because Steve Jones (her co-star) never gets nervous. I dropped my prompt cards in front of Josh Hartnett once and I’ve never recovered.’ Source:  Mirror.co.uk

Kitchen Annual Gala June 4th, 2010 | Posted by Annie

Hey! It’s been a while since I last updated. Sorry about that, I’ve been quite busy. Josh wearing nerd glasses at the Kitchen Annual Gala at the end of May: And a little bit more about “Bunraku” from an interview of a stunt co-ordinater who worked on the film: What’s the name of the movie?Stovall: ‘Bunraku’. It stars Josh Hartnett. This Japanese superstar named Gackt who’s basically like the Michael Jackson of Japan. This will be his first American movie. He’s as popular as Steven Chow or Rain, basically. This will be his first one. He was a co-lead in that one. Also, there’s – What’s that about? Stovall: It’s basically this westerner, Josh Hartnett, who comes to this town obviously seeking revenge or looking for the killer of his father. Gackt is there for his own personal mission as well. He’s trying to honor something that I think his uncle or his father wants him to do as a last request. Obviously they become teammates and have to go on the same journey together but what’s stopping them on this journey are these fighters who are all killers. It’s funny because Ron Perlman is the lead killer and Kevin McKidd is his right hand man. So, basically, there’s killer one through ten and most of the killers are played by stunt guys which helps to enhance the action. So there’s going to be a tremendous amount of fights. When I first got the script it had twenty eight fight scenes in it. Source: LatinoReview

Sin City 2? March 9th, 2010 | Posted by Annie

They are still figuring out who will star in sequel.. The rumour mill has been working overtime on who will star in the movie. Some of the actors and actresses from the first film will reprieve their roles for the second film: Jessica Alba will once again play Nancy Callahan, Rosario Dawson will reprise her role as Gail, and Clive Owen will return as Dwight. Although Bruce Willis’ character Hartigan was killed in the first film, the actor has commented that he’d love make a re-appearance should his character feature in any future stories. This could mean a prequel film or possible flashback scenes. Josh Hartnett had a cameo role in the first movie as The Colonel, but his character will feature even more in the second film. It is still to be confirmed though whether he will actually be reprising the role. Mickey Rourke, who played lead character Marv, is stalling on whether to reprise the role, citing the main reason behind his hesitation was having to spend three hours in make-up again. Frank Miller is hopeful Rourke will be convinced telling an interviewer from SHH, “He has a pretty big role. I hope Mickey plays it.â€� New Characters, New Film Stars: Rumours have been circling for a while on who else will be starring in the sequel. The main name on everyone’s lips in Angelina Jolie. Should she accept she will star as Ava Lord, the female star of A Dame to Kill for (Book two). If Jolie doesn’t accept the role then it may be handed to Salma Hayek, Rachel Weisz or Rose McGowan instead. Expect to also see either Antonio Banderas or Johnny Depp make an appearance as Wallace, the protagonist from Hell and Back (Book seven). It’s rumoured that a third film will revolve around this book entirely. Source:  Action Film Thriller Blog Let’s hope Josh does! This just makes me soooo excited for “Bunraku”. I’m dying for it to be released.

Bunraku Producer Interview February 7th, 2010 | Posted by Annie

I think I posted this a while before, but it came up on my google alerts recently.  It is an interview with “Bunraku” producer, Ram Bergman and his thoughts on shooting a film in Romania. It is a nice read. The $25m action-adventure film starring Demi Moore and Josh Hartnett shot at Media Pro Studios in Romania for 12 weeks in summer 2008. The film is produced by director Guy Moshe’s Los Angeles-based Picturesque Films, Los Angeles-based Ram Bergman Productions and is fully financed by Keith Calder’s Los Angeles-based Snoot Entertainment. Why did you choose to shoot in Romania? We needed a lot of stages available because the whole movie is green-screen and we had to build 30-something sets. We needed to take control of a space for five months. What were your cost savings? It was probably 10%-20% cheaper than Prague. We did not want to pay top dollar, like you would pay in London or, to a lesser degree, in Prague or Hungary. Bulgaria and Serbia are potentially 10% cheaper than Romania. Did you use local crews or bring in crew? We brought in heads of departments but the rest of the crew was Romanian. But at the time the dollar was so weak that flying in and paying crew then from the US was as cheap as hiring people from elsewhere in Europe. Which local person or company was indispensable? Media Pro Studios. It had the most stages available and it made us a deal that was fair and within our budget. What advice would you give a producer considering a shoot in Romania? You need to expect certain things are not going to go in the most typical way. Set up your goals and expectations, what you’re willing to spend, and what you expect to get in return, and you’ll be fine. Also, if you’re shooting at Media Pro and you’re staying in Bucharest, you’re going to have a long drive and you’ll lose part of every day. Would you shoot in Romania again? Yes. I’m exploring making another movie there in two months. Source: Screendaily.com

Nobody, Stuck Between Stations, Ham Lake January 29th, 2010 | Posted by Annie

“Nobody” has been a success and is now a local cult film: The film held a world premiere in Minneapolis in October 2009 to great success. Since its release, “nobody” became a local cult favorite. The film even sold out after only a few days on the shelves at the Minneapolis music and entertainment store the Electric Fetus. “nobody” also has a growing following on Facebook with weekly contests for free DVDs, and boy what a DVD it is. The DVD boasts a whole slew of features, including pithy and insightful commentary by Rob Perez and Ryan Miller, the film’s writers. For fans aching for more “nobody,” there is a behind the scenes featurette along with a schmorgasbord of deleted scenes from the film’s theatrical cut. The DVD also includes an extensive image gallery filled with film stills and photographs documenting life behind the camera. Finally, as an extra bonus, there are two short films included, including one about how Josh Hartnett (one of the film’s executive producers) has a haunted house. Though “nobody” only graced the metro’s screens for a few short months, the DVD release will guarantee its place in film posterity. Many of those involved in making the film have moved on, some becoming rising stars, others solidifying their place as film icons and others yet branching out into new directions in the entertainment industry. One of the film’s more notable success stories centers upon Sam Rosen, who plays Lindeman in “nobody.” In the upcoming years, Rosen will star in a handful of independent and larger films, including another collaboration with Josh Hartnett. “nobody” shows audiences that inspiration and brilliance are hiding just around the corner. You just have to look hard enough. Source: The Mac Weekly And Josh is involved in two more projects with Sam Rosen, “Stuck Between Stations” and “Ham Lake“.  Josh is has a supporting role for “Stuck Between Stations” and is a producer in “Ham Lake”. Here is an article about “Stuck Between Stations”: The script for Stuck Between Stations was co-written by Minneapolis native Nat Bennett and male lead Sam Rosen (Casper). Independent film veteran Zoe Lister Jones (Rebecca) plays the female lead. The supporting cast includes Josh Hartnett (Black Hawk Down, Sin City) and Michael Imperioli (The Sopranos, Life on Mars). Stuck Between Stations tells a coming-of-age/came-and-went story about Casper, a soldier haunted by the horrors of war, and Rebecca, a whip-smart grad student with a shaky future. A decade after they graduated from high school and went their separate ways, they reunite by chance and get to know each other over the course of an accidental tour of the little-known underbelly of Minneapolis. The evening’s odyssey includes a bar fight, a house party, a punk-rock circus, a spontaneous burglary, a home Casper didn’t know he had, and a cast of strange characters, unexpected allies and disappointing friends. RKB Pictures, LLC was founded by star/writer Sam Rosen, director/producer Brady Kiernan and writer Nat Bennett. The company was formed in Minnesota during August, 2009 to produce Stuck Between Stations. Source: Ajarmajor.com

Cameo or no? December 9th, 2009 | Posted by Annie

According to this site, Josh is supposed to have a cameo in Kid Cudi’s “Pursuit of Happiness” video. I’ve watched the video twice and really really strained my eyes looking for Josh’s scene but I failed. Can you guys? FYI: Actor Josh Hartnett cameos in the video and produced it. Source: Videotastic.com  I however did spot Josh’s bud, Scott Campbell at around 3:34… Here are pics of Josh and Scott pictured together at the “Make it rain” reception & After party:    For those who are just as confused as I am about who this Scott Campbell is, well, I did a bit of ‘googling’ and he is an illustrator and is currently most known for his tattoo parlour called Saved Tattoo in Williamsburg, Brooklyn, which is “east coast’s premier tattoo shop” and very popular amongst celebrities. Cool. Anyways, the music video is now on HD on youtube, so check it out! [Search for the Hartnett]
