Londra, Monaco, Parigi.. sono andata ovunque meno che in Italia....

Grazie per le immagini...


Bene bene!!!! Stavo andando già in paranoia all'idea di non poterlo vedere al cinema.... Non vedo l'ora!!!!


E' quello che pensavo oggi!!! Stavo guardando la clip di un'intervista fatta a Jd ed alla Akerman (si scrive così?) in una trasmissione francese (già io non capisco tantissimo l'inglese, se poi fanno la traduzione simultanea in francese non capisco una cippa ed il mio cervello va in pappa più di quanto già ci va al solo vedere JD) e mi sono detta "cavolo! Va dappertutto! Perchè in Italia no???? PERCHE'??????" .

Cinque scene da Watchmen..

Ma quanto figo è in questa intervista du TvGuide??

http://www.tvguide.com/Asks/Burning-Questi...ns-1003371.aspx

Concordo. Molto molto figo! Grazie per le clip.

Oggi mentre i miei guardavano "Quelli che il calcio", durante la pubblicità hanno trasmesso il trailer (che sinceramente tra tutti quelli pubblicati non avevo mai visto) di watchmen.
Vi lascio immaginare il mio stato d'animo quando il viso di JD versione Comedian è comparso a tutto schermo mentre dice "Che Dio ci salvi"....
Non ho potuto lasciarmi andare a sbavamenti vari perchè c'erano anche i miei genitori...
Cmq a proposito del programma della Ventura, oggi nel suo programma ha ospitato Eva Mendez che promuoveva "Live!".
A parte il nervoso per il fatto che la Ventura ha detto il finale del film in diretta (se è davvero quello il finale) ma ve lo immaginate se al posto della Mendez ci fosse stato JD?????

Cosa ha detto sul finale la Ventura?

Non so se sia il vero finale o abbia scherzato! So solo che la faccia della Mendez quando l'ha detto era impagabile....

Guardate che belli questi due video, degli speciali della HBO su Watchmen.





Buona visione!

Scusate l'intrusione con l'ennesimo video ma non potevo non postarlo.
Si tratta di un intervista fatta a JD insieme a Jackie Earle Haley.
Più o meno al minuto 1.49 il nostro JD arriccia il suo bel nasino mentre ride... Dopodichè ride di gusto per un altro paio di volte ma senza arricciare il nasino.... Goduria per gli occhi.



Ok. Ora torno a sbavare su qualche altro bel video.
Se lo ritenete necessario potete chiamare la neuro.... O qualche dottore a caso...

Dimenticavo: oggi alle 17.30 su coming soon hanno trasmesso un programma (Focus On) con uno speciale riguardante Watchmen dove il ns Jd fa come sempre la sua bella figura.
Se volete vederlo ci sono le repliche venerdì 6 alle 20.30 e domenica 8 alle 17.30.

E oramai lo sappiamo che questo blockbuster in realtà è una ciofeca... però in tal modo il nostro beniamino emerge ancor più nettamente.
La presenza fisica e la sensibilità di Jeff, il carisma e la complessità del Comedian fanno scomparire tutti gli altri dallo schermo e dal cuore degli spettatori.
Uscendo dal cinema le uniche scene che rimangono scolpite nella memoria sono quelle con il Comedian...

Nel complesso, su 2 ore e mezza di film (Urgh!) , il Comedian appare poco ma sempre in scene chiave e soprattutto senza mai annoiare lo spettatore.

E JD si conferma un interprete sensibile e onesto... non sarà Al Pacino, ma sa dosarsi. E gli occhi da Babbo funzionano anche in questo caso.
Bravo Jeff.
Spero che Blake ti porti fama&fortuna.

Lo, guarda cosa ci SIAMO perse in Leicester Square!!! OMG

e QUI ecco JD con Cudrup e Wilson da RAchel RAy ieri... indovinate chi è il più alto, il più bello ed il più casinista dei tre??

Facciamo un nome a caso????

Di tutto di più!


Con tutta la ferraglia....

Jeffrey Dean Morgan has been
“floating around this business for about twenty years” but it was a guest role on TV drama “Grey’s Anatomy” that would see his then-immobile star soar.

“Without a doubt I would not be here [talking to you in Australia about my new movie] without Grey’s”, says the amiable 42-year-old actor, who set hearts-a-racing when he played bed-ridden charmer ‘Denny’ on the hit series. “No doubt about it”.

There’s more to Morgan, who also had recurring roles on TVs “Weeds” and “Supernatural” before playing Seattle Grace’s favourite patient, than cute one-liners and a killer smile – and he’s prepared to prove it. In his latest film, a film adaptation of the DC comic’s series “Watchmen”, the Washington-born actor plays a disreputable and chauvinistic ex-superhero.

“Kudos to Zack [Snyder, the film’s director] for seeing past the role [in “Grey’s”] and believing I could play this role”, Morgan says of ‘The Comedian’, one of several screwed-up supermen that feature in the film. “I love playing Denny, and these romantic types that I’ve played in a couple of movies since, and I know I’ve made a couple of fans unlike the way, but as an actor I want to show audiences what else I’ve got. I might lose some fans after they see me in this – but I might gain some too”.

“Watchmen”, based on comics by Alan Moore and Dave Gibbons, tells of a masked vigilante named Rorschach (Jackie Earle Haley) who begins an investigation into the murder of a former colleague (Morgan), which begins to lead to a much more terrifying conclusion.

“I wasn’t really familiar with the comic books”, says the actor. “Not until I was contacted about the role. What happened was, my agent called and said ‘Zack Snyder, that did 300, called and he’s interested in you for this movie Watchmen’. I asked him to send across the script, but instead of that, they sent over a Xeroxed copy of the graphic novel. I got to page 3 of it, of course, called my agent ‘I just got thrown out of the window!? What the hell am I reading this for!?’ – he told me to keep reading. I read it and loved it.

“So I went and had a meeting with Zack – I don’t think I got a word in during the meeting – and he showed me the conceptual drawings, and some storyboards, as well as what the costume would look like that I’d be wearing”.

The Comedian’s costume consists is essentially top-to-toe leather.

“I thought it was the coolest-looking costume – but man, it was the most uncomfortable thing I’ve ever worn. I remember I was sitting in a chair at one stage, reading the paper before my next scene, and when I had to get up I couldn’t … I couldn’t get out of the chair!”

It took a couple of fights with the wardrobe department before the costume started to feel a little more comfortable.

“I was popping buckles and stuff – so something had to give”, says the actor. “We stretched it out a bit more. But I’m not lying when I say it wasn’t easy to wear”.

And the suit didn’t need to be stretched because Morgan was a bit corpulent – it was quite the opposite actually, he’d just done two months of fight choreography, was undertaken a rigorous daily fitness routine, and on a very strict diet.

“I worked out when I was young – I was an athlete – but I’m 40 years old now, so it’d been quite a while. I hated it. I literally started working out the day after that meeting with Zack. I was working out with these ex-marine guys who treated you like crap and really made you break a sweat. I don’t know that there wasn’t a day on that movie that I wasn’t physically hurting. I was incredibly sore.

“I did enjoy the fight training though. And I got to go to a shooting range and try out different guns – and a flame thrower, which was pretty cool!’’

Most of the actors were forced to stay away from Pizza and Beer for the duration of the shoot.

“With the exception of Billy [Crudup, who plays Dr. Manhattan] and Patrick [Wilson, who plays Night Owl II], most of us had to stick to a very strict diet. Patrick had a lot of fight training but he got to eat like Pizza’s for dinner! While we were eating Lettuce, he’d be ordering big bowls of Pasta!

“He’d rub it in, the asshole!” laughs Morgan. “Considering I was a guy who was used to acting from a bed, it was pretty heavy-going the whole diet and training thing. Once I’d finished the majority of my fight scenes I finally started eating carbs again”.

Twentieth Century Fox were originally planning to a ‘’Watchmen’’ movie a few years back. The difference between the version Warner Bros ended up making, and that earlier discarded incarnation, is that Fox wanted to use A-list stars in the film – for instance, Keanu Reeves and Tom Cruise were briefly mentioned for main parts.

“Warner Bros are a great studio – they really trusted Zack from the get-go”, says Morgan, “He wanted reasonably unknown actors – but good actors – for the roles because he knew it would be a physically demanding, and mentally demanding shoot. There wasn’t going to be room for egos. And you don’t wanna be distracted by watching say, Tom Cruise – then it just becomes a Tom Cruise vehicle, and that’s not what Watchmen is. Kudos to the studio for understanding that and going with [Zack’s] vision”.

Morgan personally hopes nobody at the studio wants to do a sequel though. He believes, and believes audience will too, that the film should be a “one-offer”.

“We are all signed for sequels, but, ya know, there’d be no Rorschach, there’d be no Comedian - - it’d be sorta useless”, he says. “It’d have to be a prequel. But I’d say unless Alan Moore says he’s gonna write something, we’ll never see Watchmen 2.

“There may be someone sitting in a room somewhere at Warner Bros waiting to see if this does OK – but I doubt Zack would do another, and without him, I wouldn’t go back, and I can’t imagine any of the other actors would want to either. It’s like the 300 sequel they’re talking about – how do you do that? I guess they can do a prequel – but it makes no sense.

“I’d love to be a fly-on-the-wall in the meeting in which someone brings up a Watchmen sequel – especially if it happens with Zack around, because he won’t want any part of it – because I think this is it; what you see, is what you get. It was always a oner for me”.

Morgan would love to work with his visionary ‘’Watchmen’’ director Zack Snyder on something else though, and hopes to god Warner Bros lets Snyder direct a film adaptation of Frank Miller’s Batman novel, ‘’The Dark Knight Returns’’ down the line.

“I’ve heard Zack mention he’d like to do it in the media a few times recently”, says Morgan of a novel that features an ageing Batman coming out of retirement to battle his old foes.

“I’d love to see myself in that role myself”, he cheekily adds.

Having said that, Morgan doubts Warner will want to do an ‘old Batman’ movie any time soon – not while Christopher Nolan’s Batman series is eating the box-office whole.

“The studio loves Zack though, and if Watchmen does as well as we hope it does, you never know, he might get a crack at this thing”.

Since “Watchmen”, Morgan’s finished up a return stint on “Grey’s Anatomy”, reprising the beloved Denny – now, obviously, a ghost.

“I have a certain allegiance and loyalty to Shonda [Rhimes, the show’s creator] for obvious reasons, and she asked me if I’d come back for a couple of episodes – only telling me it was for an important storyline – and of course I agreed”.

Why is Denny back? Not even the actor playing him knows the answer to that.

“I still don’t know what’s going on”, says Morgan. “I don’t doubt that the only person that knows is Shondra.’’

Denny’s on-screen love interest (in life and death), Izzie, played by Katherine Heigl, is rumoured to be leaving the series at the end of the current season. If she does indeed exit, there’ll be no reason for Denny to make another appearance.

“But that’s OK”, says Morgan, “I’ve enough going on”.

He has indeed – he’s got four films (‘’The Untitled Beatle Boyin Project’’,’’ All Good Things’’, ‘’Woodstock’’ and ‘’Shanghai’’) due for release this year, is about to sign for another big Warner Bros pic (“If I do that, you’ll hear about it real soon”), and in May re-teams with his ‘’P.S, I Love You’’ co-star Hilary Swank for the thriller ‘’The Resident’’.

“I’m like the bad guy in it. It’s a psychosocial thriller. It’s going to be a lot of fun. There’s basically no other actors in it but Hilary and I – it’s essentially just us. It’s a real character driven piece”.

"I might lose some fans after they see me in this"

Watchmen - Jeffrey Dean Morgan interview
Jeffrey Dean Morgan in Watchmen

Interview by Rob Carnevale
JEFFREY Dean Morgan is probably best known for his romantic roles in TV series Grey’s Anatomy and films PS I Love You and The Accidental Husband. In Watchmen, however, he plays a murdering, raping, psychopathic superhero known as The Comedian.

The actor talks about why he’s somehow still a likeable guy and why Zack Snyder’s film, based on the revered Alan Moore graphic novel, isn’t just another superhero movie…

Q. Some of the characters in Watchmen have to wear some pretty dodgy costumes. But you’re all required to do some serious acting as well… So how was getting the chance to add some depth?
Jeffrey Dean Morgan: I think what my initial response, or take, was: “Oh, another superhero movie…” I thought it was going to be ridiculous. But then you read the novel and you realise the complexities and the layers not only of the material, but of the characters. As an actor, this is what we want. It’s what we want to do. In particular, our two characters [The Comedian and Rorschach] walk these really fine lines. We get to explore the fringe… well, not even the fringe! We’re utter psychopaths [laughs]. But that was a real treat because you know you’re doing something special and something that’s not been done before in this genre. So, you just grasp onto that and you go for a ride. It was a fucking blast.

Q. How did you go about making your characters seem heroic when they’re not particularly likeable with regard to a lot of the things they do? You still have to get the audience on-side…
Jeffrey Dean Morgan: I don’t know how on-side you need to be with The Comedian! [Laughs] I get trying to be on Rorschach’s side. What always fascinated me with The Comedian was that you should just hate this guy. The actions that he makes happen, and that he’s responsible for, are atrocities. They’re horrendous. And yet every time I closed the book I liked him… maybe it’s because I was so overjoyed to be playing the character. But there was something almost sympathetic about him. So, again this goes to the kind of complexity of the characters and my job, and what I relished so much in the conversations I had with Zack [Snyder, director] in the beginning, was trying to find this humanity within this man that can shoot the woman that’s pregnant with his child and yet somehow you don’t hate him. So, that was the challenge for me as an actor… finding that humanity.

Q. The film has been so keenly anticipated. Do you feel much pressure on the eve of the film’s release?
Jeffrey Dean Morgan: I’m going to throw up right now! We’re nervous as hell. There’s been so much speculation from fans and press as to whether we’re screwing the pooch doing this film. Is Zack the right guy? Are we the right actors? So, we felt the pressure from day one and now that the world premiere is upon us… I woke up this morning with butterflies.

Q. How did you cope with the pressure?
Jeffrey Dean Morgan: I drank a lot! We’ve taken a beating as a whole before even shooting this film. But having seen the film, I think that Zack took this unfilmable novel and he knocked it out of the park. Having said that, I sure hope people respond that way. But I have a feeling that we did our job and that’s all we can do. Now it’s time to let the world see the fruit of our labours because it was two years of really hard work.

Q. Have any of the fans, or any of the three guys that were involved in the book, seen it?
Jeffrey Dean Morgan: [Illustrator] Dave Gibbons has been a very important part of the process every step of the way. Everybody knows the Alan Moore story, so I doubt we’ll hear anything about him. But Dave was there when we were shooting and he’s been on this tour with us, talking about. He was instrumental in the making of this film and by all indication, from talking to him, he’s incredibly proud of it. It’s like getting approval from your parents. It was awesome seeing his face [when he came to the set for the first time]. You can imagine him drawing this some 20-something odd years ago and then he walks on the set and sees Archie for the first time. I mean, talk about a kid in a candy store!

Q. Is it easier to play a character that’s based upon a graphic novel, rather than just one that’s contained within a written screenplay?
Jeffrey Dean Morgan: Well, yeah, especially this novel, “the Citizen Kane of graphic novels”. Certainly! In a lot of ways, it’s completely different. The script, for instance… they did a great job of adapting this book into script form but the reality is that we used this graphic novel far more than we used the script. There was a copy of Watchmen sitting on the monitor where Zack was the whole time we were filming. We did most of our work based on the graphic novel. A lot of our character study is right there, on the page.

For instance, The Comedian’s scene with Moloch the Mystic, if I just saw that in script form I don’t know how necessarily I would have played it. Would it have been this huge breakdown? But when you see it in the graphic novel, you see not only where he’s sitting on the bed, but also the pain in his face and what he’s going through. And that’s a hell of a thing to be able to use as an actor. It’s a great weapon to put in your arsenal.

Q. Do you have any plans to appear in more films or TV series where your character actually survives until the end? I gather there’s a Facebook page campaigning for you to survive in your roles?
Jeffrey Dean Morgan: [Laughs] That’s awesome! I don’t know about it, but that’s fantastic. I’m not going to complain about my career. I don’t know how it’s worked out that I die in everything, but my career is alive and well. So, it’s been OK for me.
