the real crime busters in THE OTHER GUYS

Dwayne Johnson (Race to Witch Mountain) and Samuel L. Jackson (Jumper) star in Columbia Pictures’ new action comedy The Other Guys as Detectives Christopher Danson and P.K. Highsmith who are the baddest and most beloved cops around.

Two desks over and one back, sit Detectives Allen Gamble (Will Ferrell) and Terry Hoitz (Mark Wahlberg). You’ve seen them in the background of photos of Danson and Highsmith, out of focus and eyes closed. They’re not heroes – they’re “the Other Guys.” But every cop has his or her day and soon Gamble and Hoitz stumble into a seemingly innocuous case no other detective wants to touch that could turn into the city’s biggest crime. It’s the opportunity of their lives, but do these guys have the right stuff?

Detectives Danson and Highsmith are the quintessential hot rod stud cops who date models, go to red carpet events, and put on a great show for the city. They also have no sense of proportion, causing billions of dollars in damage for small-time busts. “Danson and Highsmith might be the best cops ever to grace the force in New York City, so long as you ignore the billions, if not trillions, in damage they’ve caused the city,” explains screenwriter Chris Henchy.

Dwayne Johnson describes them, succinctly: “They’re the best of the best. The hell with the rest. Put you to the test.”

For Samuel L. Jackson, as if the chance to parody his screen persona wasn’t enough, the opportunity to do it opposite Ferrell and Wahlberg was irresistible – sort of. Channeling his character, he says, “I really liked working with the tall honky with the Afro and the one who’s not as tall with the mean look on his face.”

“Obviously, you could make a legit action movie with Sam and Dwayne,” says director Adam McKay. “We kept joking, ‘It’d be called “Critical Hour.”’ We’d do the movie trailer: ‘As the clock approaches midnight, where will you be?’ For our movie – the whole premise being that the other guys replace the superstar cops – they were perfect.”

Joining Johnson and Jackson in the film is Michael Keaton who plays the precinct’s Captain Mauch, a guy who’s seen it all and despite his lofty perch is having a little trouble making ends meet. “He’s the type of guy who just wants to get to the end of his shift and call it a day, so we wanted to bring in some real world problems with Mauch,” says Henchy. “I come from a family of cops and I know about the pensions and working 20 years and getting two kids through school, so he has a second job at Bed, Bath, and Beyond. It's tough to come from running a police precinct and then going to run the housewares section.”

“What I decided,” says Keaton, “is that his second job is not just something he has to do. It’s something he loves. He’s way more at home at BB&B than he is in the precinct.”

For Keaton, the acting job was a dream. “I got up, I read my Times, I grabbed my coffee, I walked to the set – I love walking in New York. Then I started laughing, right from the time I got on set, and I finished laughing after I got back to the hotel, because I’d be thinking about everything that happened during the day. I stayed in a nice hotel, I went to bed, and I woke up and did it all over again. How great is that job?”

Opening soon across the Philippines, The Other Guys is distributed by Columbia Pictures, local office of Sony Pictures Releasing International.

JIM STURGESS flies as SOREN

Jim Sturgess (21, Across the Universe), who voices Soren, the hero owl in Warner Bros.’ fantasy adventure “Legend of the Guardians: The Owls of Ga’Hoole,” was readily drawn to the project because of its director, Zack Snyder (300, Watchmen). The British actor states, “Zack loves classic storytelling and is famous for putting together amazing visual sequences, so I knew from the start that this had the potential to be really stunning.”

In the film, Soren, a barn owl raised in the Forest of Tyto, believes in the existence of the legendary warriors, the Guardians of Ga’Hoole, a mythical band of owls that have pledged their lives to mend the broken, vanquish evil and protect the owl kingdoms from harm.

When Soren and his brother Kludd (voice of Ryan Kwanten) are snatched up by the Pure Ones—evil owls who want to conquer those who are not of their “elite” tyto type and to make soldiers out of the ones who are—Soren holds out hope that his heroes not only exist, but that he can find them and enlist their aid in saving all of owlkind.

“Jim brought a real sense of wonderment to Soren,” Snyder says. “In a world of realists, Soren believes the dream, and Jim really captured that.”

Like his director, Sturgess was new to animation and says it took some time to find the right balance in voicing a character without over- or under-playing it. “A lot of film acting is what you do with your face and what’s going on behind your eyes,” he relates. “And Soren has such an enthusiastic spirit, I thought I would have to really amp up my performance to convey that. But after I started playing with the character a bit, I realized I didn’t need to overdo it, that it wasn’t going to be flat just because I wouldn’t be seen. There would be a character with wonderful facial expressions, thanks to the talents of our animators.”

In the end, Sturgess’s initial qualms about voice acting were more than quelled. “It was a little mind-blowing to see my voice coming from this owl’s face,” Sturgess smiles, “with his eyes telling the story just as I would hope mine would have if it were me on screen.”

Even those times when he was on one continent and his director was on another, technology bridged the gap. “Zack was always there during the recording sessions—on Skype or talking to me through a television. It could’ve been strange, but he’s so expressive in the way he describes things and so passionate and intelligent about how he views the material, that we went through the scenes and he directed me like he would if we were together, making a live-action film. It worked out great.”

Opening across the Philippines on Friday, Sept. 24 in IMAX 3D, Digital 3D and regular format, Legend of the Guardians: The Owls of Ga’Hoole is distributed by Warner Bros. Pictures, a Warner Bros. Entertainment Company.

SHIA LABEOUF learns how to make money

Jake Moore (Shia LaBeouf) may be worth millions at a ludicrously young age but he is also keen to do some good in the world by investing in green energy amid a fascinating world intoxicated by the sheer thrill of as much money as possible.

In Oliver Stone’s “Wall Street: Money Never Sleeps,” LaBeouf’s Jake is a honest trader who gets embroiled in ominous financial dealings that is bound to spin dangerously out of control. With Michael Douglas’ Award-wining role Gordon Gekko out of prison and Josh Brolin’s Breton James, “Wall Street: Money Never Sleeps” multiplies greed and avarice where there is no such thing as ‘enough.’

“Wall Street 2” steers Jake Moore (LaBeouf), a smart young proprietary trader into making millions at the venerable Keller Zabel Investments, run by Louis Zabel (Frank Langella), Jake’s mentor. Jake’s girlfriend, Winnie (Carey Mulligan), meanwhile, is supportive of his drive – fueled by an idealism she finds lacking in her father Gordon – to invest in green energy. A wave of rumors that Keller Zabel is stuck with billions in toxic debt causes the company’s stock price to suddenly nose-dive, and Louis Zabel is forced to fight for his company’s life. When the government refuses a bail-out, Bretton James (Josh Brolin), a ruthless billionaire and master manipulator, arranges a takeover of Keller Zabel for a fraction of its worth. This move then propels Jake to avenge his losses by finally forging an unlikely alliance with Gordon.

To play the role of Jake, Oliver Stone cast Shia LaBeouf, star of the hugely successful “Transformers” films, as well as the recent “Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull,” and the thriller “Disturbia.” “He reminds me of a young Tom Cruise [with whom Stone worked on “i”],” says Stone of LaBeouf -- “The same drive, work ethic, and energy.”

LaBeouf was drawn to the role of Jake for several reasons, including his admiration for Stone’s body of work. “I love ‘Wall Street’ – I’m here because of it,” says the actor. “As a movie fan, you learn a lot watching Oliver’s movies. You get a lot of facts as well as entertainment.”

In addition, starring in an Oliver Stone film was a change of pace for the young actor. “I’ve been making fantasy films for a while,” he explains. “I wanted something with teeth, and Oliver Stone makes movies with teeth.”

LaBeouf describes Jake as someone who comes from a modest background, and whose tenure as a caddie for Louis Zabel, the head of the esteemed investment bank Keller Zabel, would lead to much bigger things. “Jake is a guy who came from nothing, in Long Island, with a father who’s non-existent,” the actor explains. “Jake was hired right out of business school and put into Keller Zabel as a proprietary trader, and starts trading his own account. He works his way up the ladder and becomes Zabel’s right-hand man at a young age.”

“When I took the movie I knew little of the world of finance – I didn’t know what a derivative was, I didn’t know stocks, bonds,” he continues. “Oliver said, ‘If you want to do this you’d better get cracking [and do your homework],’ and I walked into a brokerage house office and asked them to set me up an account.”

LaBeouf then dove into his research with zeal. After what amounted to an intensive course in finance at various investment and trading houses, LaBeouf made a modest investment grow exponentially. He also passed his Series 7 test, becoming a licensed broker-dealer.

“It is amazing. I come from poverty. My mother laughs about it all the time. She went on welfare; we had no money and now I’m trading upwards of $300,000 in the morning. It’s outrageous. It’s really outrageous. My Mom’s happy as a clam,” LaBeouf concludes on the current state of his career.

“Wall Street: Money Never Sleeps” opens September 29/span> in theaters from 20th Century Fox to be distributed by Warner Bros.

Chris Pine and Denzel Washington in thriller UNSTOPPABLE

Denzel Washington and Chris Pine team up in the upcoming action-thriller “Unstoppable” directed by Tony Scott. Washington and Pine play train engineers whose lives are put at risk in an attempt to stop an unmanned long freight train carrying combustible liquids and poisonous gas enough to wipe out an entire city.

Based on actual events, the story centers on an experienced train engineer, Frank Barnes (Washington) who’s about to be laid off as part of company cutbacks while Chris Pine plays Will Gordon, the newbie conductor hired to replace him.

Chris Pine who starred in the blockbuster movie “Star Trek” likens both movies in a recent interview with MTV. “It (“Unstoppable”) also has the genetic code of the summer tentpole movie. It’s fun and action-packed. And it’s got some really interesting, complex characters to kind of anchor the whole thing. And Tony always talked about how the movie was like a train. Once it gets going, it just does not stop,” Pine shares.

“Unstoppable” opens November 10 in theaters nationwide from 20th Century Fox to be distributed by Warner Bros.

LIFE AS WE KNOW IT SYPNOSIS

Warner Bros. brings Katherine Heigl (The Ugly Truth) and Josh Duhamel (When in Rome, Transformer films) together in the endearing romantic comedy Life As We Know It.

In the film, Holly Berenson (Heigl) is an up-and-coming caterer and Eric Messer (Duhamel) is a promising network sports director. After a disastrous first date, the only thing they have in common is their dislike for each other and their love for their goddaughter, Sophie. But when they suddenly become all Sophie has in the world, Holly and Messer are forced to put their differences aside. Juggling career ambitions and competing social calendars, they’ll have to find some common ground while living under one roof.

Life as We Know It is directed by Greg Berlanti (TV’s Brothers & Sisters) and also stars Josh Lucas (Sweet Home Alabama) and Christina Hendricks (TV’s Mad Men).

“The story is about these two people who are set up by their mutual best friends,” Berlanti explains. “They definitely don’t hit it off. Many of us have had a date like that—where things just go more and more awry. But then, early on in the film, due to some unforeseen circumstances, these two individuals, who started out despising each other, are forced to raise their friends’ child together.”

Heigl and Duhamel play Holly and Messer, who couldn’t be more different. Holly is a sober, serious young woman who runs a boutique bakery, and Messer is a consummate and content bachelor working as an on-the-spot editor during Atlanta basketball games. “They have a history with one another because years ago their two friends had set them up on a blind date and it went really bad,” says Heigl. “Not just uncomfortable or ‘We didn’t connect; we didn’t like each other,’ but really bad.”

“They just didn’t jive right from the beginning,” adds Duhamel. “They don’t even make it out of the driveway to go to dinner. It goes bad that quickly. So, over the next few years you see them being forced into situations where they have to see each other, whether it’s their friends’ wedding, or the delivery of their first child, Sophie, or first birthdays, whatever it is. He’s not going to go to this party because she’s there. He’s going to go because Peter’s his best friend. I’m going to be there, but Holly happens to be there, too, so it’s really kind of chilly and not very civil, I guess. They’re just two people that would not ever hang out by their own decision.”

The emotion at the core of the story, along with the inherent comedy of the characters and the situation in which they find themselves, resonated with Heigl. “We’ve all had moments in our lives where we’ve been through some difficult things, but there’s still laughter,” she notes, “and a lot of times that’s how people get through some of the harder times in their lives.”

Opening soon across the Philippines, Life As We Know It is distributed by Warner Bros. Pictures, a Warner Bros. Entertainment Company.
