Will teen pop sensation,Justin Bieber's new 3D film, Justin Bieber: Never Say Never, take the number one spot over films starring Jennifer Aniston, Adam Sandler, Channing Tatum, Emily Blunt and James McAvoy for the weekend of February 11th?
If tons of screaming teenagers have their say -- yes. Just Go For It (Sandler, Aniston), The Eagle (Channing Tatum), and the 3D animated gnomes in Gnomeo and Juliet (James McAvoy, Emily Blunt) will compete in this weekend's race to top the box office. Previous teen idols Miley Cyrus and Jonas Brothers' trek into 3D movies opened to the number one spots both times so given Bieber Fever taking over the world, this might be the case.
Channing Tatum (GI Joe, The Dilemma) stars in his first period action film THE EAGLE but the stunts were not the most challenging for the Southern California actor.
Channing tells CineMovie the remote shooting location on the coast of Scotland and the cold weather made for a difficult shoot that included jumping into an ice cold river. Channing reveals how he used it to enhance his performance.
Channing Tatum is Marcus in THE EAGLE, a Roman Soldier in 140 AD during the Roman Empire's rule in Great Britain. To regain his family's honor, he enters unconquered territory beyond the wall to find the Eagle that was lost when his father disappeared with his army.
In a clip from THE EAGLE, Channing Tatum's Marcus brings along a slave (Jamie Bell) as a guide but master and slave go hand to hand combat with each other. THE EAGLE is in theaters February 11, 2011.
Director Iciar Bollain's political drama También La Lluvia is up for fourteen Goya Awards, Spain's equivalent of the Academy Awards, and now American audiences will be able to see the must-see Spanish import.
Spanish director Bollain tells CineMovie, Alejandro Gonzales Iñarritu was attached to the project before he left to direct and write the Oscar nominated Biutiful and how she came to the project as well as casting Mexican actor Gael Garcia Bernal in her first big budget film.
Watch our video interview with the Spanish director.
También La Lluvia's Goya nominations include Best Picture and Best Director for Bollain, and Best Actor for the film's Luis Tosar who will compete with Javier Bardem's performance in Biutiful. Bolivian and first-time actor Karra Elejalde also received a nomination for Best New Actor for his performance as the Indian actor who heads the indigenous uprising in Cochabamba. The Spanish Film Academy will award the Goya winners at Los Premios Goya February 23.
About TAMBIEN LA LLUVIA: Gael Garcia Bernal is Sebastian, a filmmaker shooting a film in Bolivia about Christopher Columbus landing in South America. Costa (Luis Tobar) is his producer who only cares about coming in on budget and on time. Shooting in Bolivia in the town of Cochabamba with a small budget, they hire local natives as extras and a very vocal Indian named Daniel who is cast in the pivotal role of Hatuey, the historical figure and first Indian leader to be burned on the cross for opposing Christianity.
Trouble brews when the locals rise up against plans to privatize the city's water supply to sell to an American multinational consortium. Daniel leads the fight against the government, organizing rallies and protests which gets him thrown in jail bloodied and bruised. The shoot is compromised if their lead actor is either dead or in jail.
While they can sympathize with the locals, Costa and Sebastian are determined to finish the film despite the growing tension in the city. The conflict becomes more violent and the infamous Bolivian Water War breaks out, which actually occurred in April 2000.
The producer and director are forced to chose between finishing the film or helping out the locals with their fight.

Not long after they arrive, Blu and Jewel are kidnapped by a group of bungling animal smugglers. With the help of street smart Jewel, and a group of wise-cracking and smooth-talking city birds, Blu escapes.

The FROM PRADA TO NADA stars tell CineMovie how making the movie made them connect with their own heritage.

The FROM PRADA TO NADA star created and executive produces the animated Disney TV show Handy Mandy with bilingual characters. The half-Columbian and half-Venezuela actor also lived in Venezuela as a child.

A whimsical spin on Austen's original, From Prada to Nada follows two spoiled sisters when they are left penniless after the sudden death of their father.
