Williams eyes action role
- 08 Nov 2009
Tennis ace Serena Williams is eyeing a move into acting when her sporting career ends. The Wimbledon winner made a brief cameo in medical drama E.R. in 2005 but her character died in the show - and now she's looking for a more action-packed role. Williams says, "I really enjoy acting. I like being in front of the camera. I think I should be an action star. I always wanted to die in acting and then I died (in E.R.) and I was miserable! I was like, 'I don't wanna die anymore', so my dying in... Read more

Morgan was set to make his directorial debut in The Special Relationship - based on... Read more
Tennis tale a smash hit
- 29 Sep 2004
Romantic comedy Wimbledon has powered its way to the number one spot at the UK box-office. Tipped as a tennis turkey, British director Richard Loncraine's (The Gathering Storm, Band Of Brothers) movie about a has-been tennis player rekindling past glories, has defied the odds by knocking Tom Cruise thriller 'Collateral' from the top spot. Starring the endearingly goofy Paul Bettany as Peter, and sassy Kirsten Dunst as Lizzy, the Brit-flick was torn to shreds by critics who slammed its weak gags Read more
New balls please
- 21 Sep 2004
British actor Paul Bettany and Spider-Man star Kirsten Dunst were among the celebrities at the UK premiere of Wimbledon last night. The glitzy event in Leicester Square comes ahead of the romantic comedy's general release later this week. Dunst stars as the golden girl of American tennis, distracted from her goal of winning Wimbledon by her fling with British outsider, Paul Bettany. Bettany, who appeared alongside Russell Crowe in Master and Commander and Heath Ledger in A Knight's Tale,... Read more
Made for Export?
- 28 Sep 2010
Made in Dagenham. It doesn’t sound like the kind of title you would frame with an eye on the American market. I doubt one in one hundred Americans would have a clue where to find Dagenham on a map of Britain, and the name would have zero associations for them, good, bad or indifferent. Nevertheless, it’s a better name than the two alternatives that the Internet Movie Database claims were working titles: “Dagenham Girls” and “We Want Sex”. The former rhymes a Read more
