- 23 May 2012
The Last Of The Mohicans star Madeleine Stowe is finally bringing her western screenplay to the big screen after turning down £3.1 million to hand the project over to movie bosses at Twentieth Century Fox almost a decade ago.

The Age of Wonder: A brief history of the new digital cinema

- WENN Newsdesk
- 10 Jun 2011
Inglourious Basterds star Eli Roth has come to the defence of Russell Crowe over a Jewish joke that went too far. Gladiator star Crowe appeared to be attacking Jewish parents who circumcise their kids in a recent rant on Twitter.com, branding the practice "barbaric and stupid" and "man's interpretation of what God requires". He asked, "Who are you to correct nature? Is it real that God requires a donation of foreskin? Babies are perfect. (I have) many Jewish friends, I love my Jewish friends,... Read more
