Video: Hugh Jackman Shouts At A Telephone
There's usually a very clear division between the two separate versions of Hugh Jackman, isn't there? There's Stage Hugh Jackman and Screen Hugh Jackman. Screen Hugh Jackman is the one who's angry, violent and prone to dropping to his knees and shouting "NOOOOO!" at the sky at the tiniest of provocations. And Stage Hugh Jackman is the flamboyant one, the one in the big silky blouses and spangly trousers and stuff. Usually the two Hugh Jackmans never merge. But they did recently, when a phone went off during his latest play. You've never seen angry, slightly gay-seeming chiding like it.

Daniel Craig & Hugh Jackman In ‘Some Dreary Play About Policemen’
Here's a killer pitch for you. James Bond and Wolverine team up to fight crime together. Sounds good, huh? Wait, we're not finished. James Bond and Wolverine team up to fight crime together... within the strict confines of the law. And nobody kills anyone. And nothing explodes. And there's probably a lot of crying. And it's not even a film, it's a play. God, we take it all back. This is a rubbish pitch. But it's going to happen. Daniel Craig and Hugh Jackman are going to star in that exact play on Broadway. Not James Bond and Wolverine. Sorry.

Daniel Craig is Tin, Tintin (Sort Of)
Did you know that if you randomly chose a group of 1,000 people, none of them would care about the new Tintin movie? True story. But that's only because Tintin had no stars attached to it - it existed only as an idea. An idea about a ginger Belgian boy who's a little bit racist. And that's the worst idea of all. But now Tintin has stars attached, and one of them is Daniel Craig. But stars like Daniel Craig come with demands - and if Tintin will fit with the rest of his canon, Craig wants it renamed A Nanoparticle Of Despondency.

Roger Moore Gets All Stroppy About Punchy New James Bond
You knew what you got when Roger Moore was James Bond - safari jackets, volcano HQs and women called Felicity Nobgobbler. Not any more, though. Daniel Craig is James Bond now, so that means that when you watch a James Bond film you're essentially getting whatever happened in the last Bourne movie, but without any of the interesting bits about amnesia. And this has upset Roger Moore. Moore says he's saddened by all the flashy violence in the new Daniel Craig James Bond movies, and he wishes that 007 films could be more like the ones he made. The thing is, he's got a point - we know we'd have enjoyed Quantum Of Solace quite a lot more if all the parkour scenes starred a wheezy old man in a corset who looks like he smells of urine-soaked leather instead of Daniel Craig.

Daniel Craig Loves All The Abuse. Loves It
Currently appearing as 007 in Quantum of Solace, which by most accounts is exciting but about as much fun as a Schindler's List theme park, Daniel Craig has taken time out to praise a new generation of Bond women. Women who will tell him to "f**k off" if he misbehaves. That's right, "f**k off", it's Slovakian. Daniel Craig isn't exactly renowned for his song and dance demeanour. He's a serious actor and questions about his teeny shorts in Casino Royale or why he wore a lifejacket to avoid drowning three years ago are bound to annoy him. Plus if he decided to chase us over a building site we'd make it about as far as the Portakabin before going into cardiac arrest. We're gonna just stick to the new movie instead.

Quantum of Solace Pushed Back a Week, and It’s All Harry Potter’s Fault
Harry Potter has a lot to answer for - now he's magically caused Quantum of Solace to be pushed back. Not content with ruining the dreams and emotions of a billion little kids and a lot of adults who probably should know better, Daniel Radcliffe and company's decision to move the new Harry Potter film to next summer has prompted Sony to push the upcoming James Bond flick - the one with the funny name - back. Alright, so it's only a week, with the film being pushed from November 7th to the 14th, but still - come on. Give us a break here. The reason for the move was given as a simple one: 'we want more money'. Technically not what they actually said, but 'moving it closer to the Thanksgiving/Christmas market' is pretty transparent when it comes to reasoning.

Crazy Mayor Tries To Run Down James Bond
British mayors have the best job in the world - getting paid to wear some Mr T-style bling while women's institute members give you slices of cake? How is that not brilliant?
But Chilean mayors have it even better. Not only do they get the requisite bling/cake combo - we assume - but they also get to try and mow down iconic movie characters in their mayoral 4x4. On purpose.
Don't believe us? Then look at Carlos Lopez, mayor of Baquedano. He's been arrested for driving a car at James Bond star Daniel Craig during a scene as some form of protest. Lopez was either protesting about the heavy-handed nature of the Bond crew during filming or because he just thinks that A Quantum Of Solace is a really, really shitty name. Either way - mad props, you mental South American public official.
