‘Here is a highlight from the night: “Though Jamie Foxx and Samuel L. Jackson were both sporting sunglasses when they showed up to the LG Cinema 3D HDTV Gift Lounge backstage at the Spirit Awards, neither hesitated to trade them out for a pair of extra-dimensional iced-out shades to experience the next generation of 3D TV. ActressKerry Washington fully supported the new frames saying “life is disappointing after seeing 3D TV!”  Rosario Dawson “blinged” her 3D viewing experience with a pair of Swarovski-encrusted LG glasses before satisfying her sweet tooth with some Pure Dark chocolate.”

Discuss Idris, Oscars and The Late Dwayne McDuffie On “Cinema In Noir”

-Unstoppable, Tony Scott and Denzel Washington’s follow-up to their Taking of Pelham 123 remake, was almost stopped when Washington left the project for two weeks back in July over unspecified concerns (most likely having to do with the size of his paycheck). But then the two-time Oscar winner had a change of heart and the project is no speeding along towards a start date, picking up the lovely and talented Rosario Dawson in the process. Loosely based on a true story, the film casts Washington as a locomotive engineer who teams up with a brash young conductor (Star Trek’s Chris Pine) to halt a runaway train carrying highly toxic chemicals. No word on Dawson’s character, but due to the age gap, we’re betting she strikes sparks with Pine rather than Washington.

-File this under “We’ll believe this when we see it.” The website bloody-disgusting.com is reporting that Robert Downey Jr. will be taking over Tom Cruise’s fangs as vampire rock star Lestat in a new film version based on Anne Rice’s popular series of novels. Expect this project to live or die depending on how well Downey’s first outing as Sherlock Holmes performs at the box office this winter.

-Coming off his turn in the critically acclaimed Iraq War movie The Hurt Locker, Anthony Mackie joins the cast of the new thriller The Adjustment Bureau, starring Matt Damon and Emily Blunt. Adapted from a Philip K. Dick short story, the film involves a congressman whose career is threatened when he strikes up a relationship with a ballerina with a shady past.

-Texas-born Desperate Housewives star Eva Longoria Parker is getting in touch with her Mexican roots by agreeing to star in her first Spanish-language film, Day of Grace. Set to be shot on location in Mexico City, the film will tackle one of the country’s major problems—kidnapping.

-Apparently Jon Hamm never saw Watchmen. The Mad Men star has agreed to appear in director Zack Snyder’s new movie Sucker Punch, about a young girl who is locked away in a mental institution and enters a parallel reality where she and the rest of the young inmates turn into gun-toting bad grrrls. Emily Browning, Vanessa Hudgens and Jena Malone round out the cast.

-50 Cent’s former onscreen flame Joy Bryant has joined the cast of NBC’s upcoming series Parenthood, based on Ron Howard’s 1989 comedy of the same name. She’ll play a single mom who returns home to San Francisco so that she can pursue her dreams of being a dancer and introduce her son to his absent father.

-And now for something completely different: the surviving members of the legendary British comedy troupe Monty Python will reunite in October to mark their 40^th anniversary and hype an upcoming IFC Channel documentary Monty Python: Almost the Truth (The Lawyer’s Cut).

From the New York Times “Daily Intel”:

The British brand Topshop opened its first store on American soil this week in Soho, bringing another option for inexpensive, fast-fashion shopping to New Yorkers. At one of three parties thrown in its honor, Rosario Dawson confessed that she’s a huge fan of dressing for less. “Some of my best compliments are on a $15 Ross dress,” she told us. “Ross gets you a weird look, but I’ve rocked two or three good pieces from there over the years.”

Hip-hop stars Jay-Z and Kanye West want to work with the British group Kasabian.

The group can also count Oasis, Brazilian footballer Kaka and Hollywood actress Rosario Dawson as fans. Recently the hip-hop mogul Jay-Z wanted the group to sign on to the music publishing wing of his record label. Kanye West also has shown interest in working with them, thesun.co.uk reports.

A source said: “Kasabian’s publishing deal is coming up soon and Jay-Z has heard their music and loved it. It’s rock ‘n’ roll that appeals to different music fans. The new stuff could fill any dance floor. Kanye loves British music and was bowled over by the last Kasabian album. It could open the door to the US for the band.”

Rosario Dawson learned a lot about sex as a kid. Ironically, that may have been a good thing because the 29-year-old actress didn’t lose her virginity until she was almost legal to drink.

“My mom told me so much about sex at an early age that she scared me: I didn’t have sex until was 20,” the 7 Pounds actress said in a recent interview with the New York Times’ T Magazine.

Dawson went into more detail how her liberal upbringing and almost being aborted by her mom affected her first sexual experience. “I got into trouble at school because one of my friends said, ‘’Lesbians do it with straws.’ And I said, ‘I can tell you how lesbians do it, and there are no straws involved!’ But I think all that talk of sex put me off. The first time I had it, I think it was in a head-to-toe rubber. I was terrified of getting pregnant. My mom was planning to get an abortion when she was pregnant with me. She was at the clinic waiting for her appointment and she felt me move in her stomach. I always tell her it was probably gas. I thank God for gas.”

In the video below, Dawson gets candid and talks more about family, death and sex. She shares how her brother reacted to her nude scene in the movie Alexander and how, as punishment, her mother licked her as a kid.

Eagle Eye is a box-office smash wrought from the cast-iron molds of every sci-fi suspense thriller to precede it. Remember The Matrix Revolutions highway chase scene? Check. Remember all of The Fugitive with Tommy Lee Jones’s good ol’ Southern marshall posturing? Billy Bob Thornton has it covered in Eagle Eye. Remember the strange omnipotent forces controlling future fates in Minority Report? Eagle Eye’s got that too. Throw in some mistaken identity and reluctant heroism from first Matrix flick to make it all even.

But where those movies intrigued us by throwing an unsuspecting erstwhile anti-hero into the mix, daring him to solve the world’s biggest travesty, Eagle Eye fails miserably at finding character strength. Shia Lebeouf has a difficult time making the transition from doe-eyed goof to action lead only because Matt Damon, Jason Statham and Will Smith are his main competition. As Jerry Shaw, the loser’s loser, Lebeouf earns audience sympathy with his quizzical looks and occasional outbursts against the cell phone voice giving him directives. The love interest plot unfolds clumsily with Michelle Monaghan doing her best scared woman running to match Lebeouf’s scared man running.

Eagle Eye does hit some marks with its somewhat preachy theme of government ineptitude and deception dominating the second half of the film. Rather than hammering the point home, Zoe Perez (Rosario Dawson) and Major William Bowman (Anthony Mackie) play sacrificial lambs in the conspiracy chase game. Their loyalty to government employers spells out the naivete of their disposition, while showing the importance of order in a complicated haze of mendacity. Eagle Eye is sure to draw more fans to theaters to see the string of explosions but once the smoke clears…see your local bootlegger for an advance copy.
