Hollywoods Top 10 Killers To Die For!

By Chandler RabensLOS ANGELES, Calif. -- With the Season 6 premiere of Dexter upon us, AccessHollywood.com examines Hollywoods Top 10 Killers To Die For! From cunning Eric Northman to creepy Hannibal Lecter, these TV and movie villains can sometimes make serial killer Dexter Morgan look like an angel. 10. Russell Edgington, True Blood (Denis OHare) Upon first glance, the now-former Vampire King of Mississippi appears polite and charming, but he has no problem stirring up trouble for Sookie and gang. Cold-blooded yet perennially prim & proper Edgington has done his fair share of killing. But even True Blood audiences who are used to copious amounts of violence and gore were shocked when the vampire ripped out a TV anchors spinal column on a live news segment. But have we seen the last of this mischievous vampire? (Hint: Nope!) Though he appeared to have been buried alive in Season 3, it appears hell be wreaking havoc in Bon Temps once again very soon. 9. Sweeney Todd, Sweeney Todd: The Demon Barber of Fleet Street (Johnny Depp) Johnny Depp is not afraid to tackle wacky and outlandish characters, which is why we love Depps haunting and eerie interpretation of Sweeney Toddy. This part is a far cry from some of his heartthrobby roles, but we still enjoy watching Depp as the crazed London barber with a penchant for singing and killing people. After all, whats not to love about a guy who gives new meaning to the phrase, Just a little off the top! 8. Vincent, Collateral (Tom Cruise) Its hard to imagine Tom Cruise in anything other than his stereotypical good guy action hero roles, but theres something about this deviation from the norm that had us on the edge of our seats while watching him terrorize the streets of Los Angeles as bad-to-the-bone hit man Vincent in Collateral. Whether its the villainous character or that salt and pepper hair, we like what we see and we want more anti-hero roles from Tom Cruise. 7. Catherine Trammell, Basic Instinct (Sharon Stone) The sole female to make the list! Watching Sharon Stone play a manipulative serial killer with her sights set on Nick, a police detective played by Michael Douglas, gave us chillsand an absurd phobia of ice picks. Then theres that murder interrogation scene, yes, the one in which a seated Stone, while claiming innocence, deliberately uncrosses her legs and reveals her mostpersuasiveargument. With hundreds of thousands of views on YouTube, this scene might be more infamous than her odd choice of murder weapon. 6. King Henry VIII, The Tudors (Jonathan Rhys Myers) Off with their heads! How many of Henry VIIIs six wives met their end via chopping block? We lost track sometime during Season 3. Any woman would have to be mad to marry a man knowing theyll most likely end up dead or divorced. Now if the real King had looked anything like the devilishly handsome Jonathan Rhys Myers, even we would be tempted to reconsider those odds. Fortunately for Henry, his royal status ensured he was never single for long. 5. Patrick Bateman, American Psycho (Christian Bale) Long before his real-life on-set temper made headlines, Christian Bale brought yuppie Wall Street banker Patrick Bateman to life in the thriller, American Psycho. Bateman hides behind a mask of sanity hes wealthy, dresses impeccably and is meticulous about every little detail of his daily routine which also includes seducing, raping and killing. The chaos might be difficult to bear at times, but when the wolf is dressed in this case in Armani suits we find any excuse to watch. Plus, if you werent a big fan of Phil Collins Sussudio, you certainly are now its truly a killer track! 4. Tony Soprano, The Sopranos (James Gandolfini) Leave TVs all-time favorite mob boss off the list? Fuggedaboutit! Even though Tony Soprano has only personally killed eight people, as the mob boss and head of the most powerful Italian-American family, he is indirectly responsible for the deaths of many others. Well have to dock a few points for that awful fade-to-black farewell, but dont tell Tony! 3. Hannibal Lecter, The Silence of the Lambs, Hannibal (Anthony Hopkins) Why, hello Clarice With multiple film adaptations, generations of people still feel chills down their spine upon hearing those three little words uttered by Anthony Hopkins in his Academy Award winning performance as the flesh-eating serial killer Hannibal Lecter. Sir Anthony Hopkins brilliantly and creepishly brings the demonic Lecter to life and thanks to him, no one can ever eat fava beans the same way again! 2. Eric Northman, True Blood (Alexander Skarsgard) True Bloods resident bad boy Eric Northmans 1,000+ years on earth have left him incredibly cold, calculating and frankly one sexy badass. But this past season, we were intrigued to see a softer, more compassionate side of the Viking vampire hunk. Luckily, a little case of amnesia didnt stop this sexy Swede from stealing our hearts literally. In one memorable scene, Eric ripped out the heart of a witch sympathizer sidekick and slurped the blood straight from the aorta as one would a strawberry milkshake. Yum. 1. Dexter Morgan, Dexter (Michael C. Hall) And the title of Americas favorite serial killer still belongs to Miami Metros blood spatter analyst, Dexter Morgan. Surviving five seasons of slaughtering baddies under the very nose of the police, FBI and his closest friends and family? Awesome. But thats not the only reason why we love Dexter. Thanks to the brilliance of those lengthy internal monologues, we get to know the real Dexter from loving father to murderous Dark Passenger better than any character on the show. Hes a family guy, friendly and charming; but even though he kills people, we will be rooting for Dexter, the anti-hero, until the day he abolishes the code for good or until his own karma finally catches up with him. Come on, even though theyre all bad guys, ya cant just go around killing people can you?!?Copyright 2011 by NBC Universal, Inc.

The War in the Buttons (La nouvelle guerre des boutons)

A Mars Distribution relieve a La Petite Reine production, in colaboration with TF1 Films Push., Studio 37, Mars Films, Canal Plus. (Worldwide sales: Wild Bunch, Paris.) Produced by Thomas Langmann. Directed by Christophe Barratier. Script, Stephane Keller, Barratier, Thomas Langmann, Philippe Lopes Curval, good novel by Louis Pergaud.With: Laetitia Casta, Guillaume Canet, Kad Merad, Gerard Jugnot, Francois Morel, Marie Bunel, Jean Texier, Clement Godefroy, Theophile Baquet, Louis Dussol, Harols Werner, Nathan Parent, Ilona Bachelier, Thomas Goldberg.The second adaptation of the popular youth novel striking French screens in seven days, scribe-helmer Christophe Barratier's "The War in the Buttons" may also be the higher film of those two. By moving Louis Pergaud's story of two contrasting groups of youngsters from adjacent hamlets to 1944, Barratier has the ability to draw apparent but surprisingly effective parallels involving the central action and World war ii. Fusing a fantastic children's adventure with elevated dramatic overtones and together with a starry cast, pic should follow inside the actions of Barratier's "The Chorus" and become a considerable hit fitness center abroad. Though both Yann Samuell's "The War in the Buttons" and Barratier's film be a consequence of the eponymous 1912 novel, the two projects are sufficiently different in tone and story particulars to each merit a peek, like the adaptations of Patricia Highsmith's "The Gifted Mr. Ripley" introduced for the screen by Rene Clement and Anthony Minghella. In Barratier's version, protag Lebrac (Jean Texier) isn't a vibrant, mercurial kid who's lost his father. Rather, he's a boy with elevated bravado than brains who despises his father (Kad Merad), whom he sights a coward for remaining in your house rather than prone to fight the The spanish language people. The look in the pretty Violette (Ilona Bachelier), the goddaughter of village tailor Simone (Laetitia Casta), draws your vision of Lebrac and also the gang. But Lebrac, who stays nearly all his classes inside the corner no matter the very best efforts of his teacher (Guillaume Canet), finds out to his dismay that Violette -- like a proper French girl as well as the daughter from the professor -- wants a man by getting an intellectual bent. Aided by Philippe Rombi's busy score, the pic's sunny early going plays within the more comical side in the introduction and wooing of Violette, additionally to Lebrac and also the mates' ongoing war while using gang in the "Aztec" (Thomas Goldberg), within the village later on. Their fights, which at various points involve stays, wooden swords, containers, pans and containers, are clearly miniature wars. The titular buttons, which individuals of each and every gang make an effort to cut utilizing their rivals' t t shirts and pants, are similar to war trophies, and as opposed to in Samuell's version, they are a cleverly recurring leitmotif throughout. Barratier, who co-written the script with Stephane Keller and producer Thomas Langmann (with Philippe Lopes Curval responsible for a couple of from the dialogue), allows the pic to build up deeper as many existence in the grownups inside the village is revealed. While playing beneath the supervision from the teacher, the children witness the Nazis drag off a family group of Jews in broad daylight, setting happens for your link between your wars in the kids and people in the grownups, in the cleverly plotted story such as the mayor's weakling boy (Louis Dussol). Since the film progresses, the kids' ongoing war in the buttons involves involve crooks of war, traitors and unforeseen switches of allegiance, much like in World war ii, adding a layer of resonance for older auds. Though really an ensemble piece than Samuell's version, Lebrac continues to be primary protag, as well as the slightly older Jean Texier plays him getting a potent combination of reliability, naivete and boyhood braggadocio. Aside from Dussol, who's strong in the tricky role, and Violette, Barratier stays to cliches to quickly telegraph each kid's particular role inside the gang. So that as with "The Chorus," a little kid (Clement Godefroy) who want to enjoy the big boys can get a lot of the laughs. Adult stars change from strong to sufficient, with Canet delivering nicely shaded would be the teacher who continues to have a torch for Simone. As you possibly can expected within the helmer, tech package is solid and glossy overall, even though production design and costumes are extremely scrumptious for just about any small provincial town in war time France. To improve the general "Button" confusion, both new versions have the identical British title, even though French title of Barratier's film means "The Completely New War in the Buttons."Camera (color, 35mm-to-HD), Jean Poisson editors, Yves Deschamps, Anne-Sophie Bion music, Philippe Rombi production designer, Francois Emmanuelli costume designer, Jean-Daniel Vuillermoz appear (Dolby Digital/DTS), Daniel Sobrino, Edouard Morin, Olivier Walczak assistant director, Laure Monrreal.

Why the Creative Arts Emmys Matter (Analysis)

Within the most sensational snubs of the season, Showtime's The Borgias was overlooked for that drama series Emmy. This may be because -- since it's Oscar-nominated director Neil Jordan told The Hollywood Reporter last spring -- the splashiest, goriest tales from the Renaissance pope's scandalous reign were being saved for that show's second season. Borgias' greatest rival, Cinemax's Bet on Thrones, sensibly did the alternative and stepped into its still-more difficult story, frontloading the gore. It stole Borgias' costume-epic thunder and gained 13 Emmy noms, including best drama series.our editor recommendsChuck Lorre, Matthew Weiner to provide at Creative Arts Emmys (Exclusive)ReelzChannel to Air Creative Arts EmmysEmmys 2011: '30 Rock' Director Recalls Live Episode Challenges and 'SNL' Parallels (Q&A)Emmys 2011: Julia Stiles' First Nom 'Icing on Cake' After 'Dexter' Guest Star GigWhy 'The Office' Showrunner Is Ready for additional Cast People to Exit Show (Q&A)Emmys 2011: 'Justified's' Margo Martindale on 'Cloud Nine' About Nom (Q&A) But because of the Creative Arts ceremony, this season's Emmy game isn't over for Borgias. VIDEOS: Emmy Roundtable: TV Professionals The show received six crafts nominations: costumes, cinematography, direction, art direction, visual effects and title theme. And like nine of Thrones' 13 noms, five of Borgias' six potential Emmys is going to be passed out in the Creative Arts Honours on Sept. 10 and telecast on ReelzChannel on Sept. 17, each day prior to the primary Primetime Emmy Honours telecast on Fox -- reinforcing that Emmy's redheaded stepchild is probably not as sexy, but she's just like important. PHOTOS: Emmy Nominations 2011: Snubs and Shockers Talking about redheads, it had been Emmy reality champion and former Creative Arts host Kathy Griffin who notoriously nicknamed them "the Schmemmys." However the black-tie event carries a lot more weight for challengers than most imagine. It essentially is available to shorten the primary Emmy telecast to some workable length by giving less-glamorous, perhaps more-gifted talents on another evening (having a soupcon of stars tossed in therefore it's not only a nongorgeous gaggle of drab prodigies with sensible footwear, such as the Company directors Guild Honours). VIDEOS: Emmy Roundtable: Comedy Stars Centered on tech groups but additionally including guest stars and reality hosts, Creative Arts is how a huge most of Emmys are granted. For instance, from the 104 noms this season that permit Cinemax to stay Emmy's greatest hog, 75 have been in groups that'll be granted throughout the Creative Arts telecast only 29 take presctiption Fox's more-viewed Primetime Emmy telecast. Remove her Creative Arts Emmys, and Cinemax leader of documentary programming Sheila Nevins wouldn't be the planet's greatest Emmy champion (22 and counting, based on the academy). VIDEOS: Emmy Roundtable: Drama Stars "The primetime honours hand out 26 honours in three hrs," states Spike Johnson Junior., producer from the Creative Arts ceremony for 17 years. "We hand out 76 honours in three hrs and fifteen minutes. Which year, we now have large-title nominees." That's without a doubt: Rhianna (variety special on her Cinemax concert "Monster Ball"), Justin Timberlake (guest star for Saturday Evening Live) and Gwyneth Paltrow (guest actress for Glee) are simply three. Additionally to his nomination for pointing the pilot of Cinemax's Boardwalk Empire, Martin Scorsese is perfect for up for any Creative Arts Emmy for nonfiction pointing (PBS' Instructions to Elia/Reflecting on Kazan). If nominated, can they come? "When they're willing, we'll send a bus!" states Johnson. Related Subjects Emmy Honours Award Shows The Borgias 1 2 3 4 next last

Charlie Sheen Joins Charlie Swan

Joins Roman Coppola's next filmThe insurers have presumably signed off on it, and Charlie Sheen is headed back to Hollywood proper after signing on to star in Roman Coppola's A Glimpse Inside The Mind Of Charlie Swan III. Jason Schwartzman will also be appearing, although his role has not yet been announced. The story focuses on a successful graphic designer whose life takes a nosedive when his girlfriend leaves him. Apparently he has fame, money and charm , the first of which seems unlikely for most graphic designers, but we'll let it slide. In any case, Sheen should be able to empathise with parts of the script, and we can only applaud any effort he makes to get back on track. He's also apparently headed back to TV with a planned show based on Anger Management, so he may not be absent from our screens for that long in the end, despite that whole messy business earlier this year. Must be the tiger blood.

Happy 69th Birthday, Werner Herzog! What's His Finest Screen Accomplishment?

Labor Day isn’t the only reason to roll out the grill and invite your friends over: The one and only Werner Herzog was born on this day in 1942. The intervening decades would establish him as a leader of the New German Cinema, a dramatic visionary, a relentlessly curious documentarian, the paragon of ecstatic truth, and one of modern movies’ most enduringly intriguing filmmakers. Let’s wish Herzog a happy 69th birthday with a run through some of his greatest achievements. While I love Herzog’s nonfiction, his narrative films of the ’70s and ’80s tend to stick with me longer after viewing. The turbulent Klaus Kinksi collaborations — most notably Aguirre: The Wrath of God and Fitzcarraldo — are watchable and rewatchable almost without exception, yielding new perspectives and revelations with each viewing. He made equally strong work with the tragic, troubled Bruno S., resulting in the tandem of The Enigma of Kaspar Hauser (1974) and their wild American sojourn Stroszek (1977). But pound for pound, nothing beats Heart of Glass (1976), a sublime bit of insanity about a Bavarian village thrown into uncertainty after the local glassworks proprietor dies, taking the secret of his lucrative “Ruby Glass” with him to the grave. Interesting enough, but then Herzog went and hypnotized the entire cast. A sort of psychic languor ensues, beautifully reflecting the trancelike effects of crisis on individuals and community. It’s not without its dark humor, either — hypnosis does funny things to people — but Herzog’s narrative anchors the experiment against shipwrecking in the shallow waters of exploitation. Nevetheless, the best thing in Heart of Glass is the one scene Herzog acknowledged was too dangerous for hypnosis: The glassblowing montage. Here the filmmaker’s documentary gifts harmonize with his dramatic instincts in a way his work has emulated in the decades since with varying degrees of success. Mind-blowing commences right around the 2:00 mark. Weigh in with your own suggestions below… and happiest of birthdays to Herzog.
