Kevin Durand recently spoke to The Source about his role as The Blob in X-Men Origins: Wolverine.

“I wasn’t a comic book kid because I was busy playing hockey here in Thunder Bay. That’s all I wanted to do and all I dreamed of really. But when I saw the first (X-Men film), I was just in awe and the second one (X2:X-Men United) just blew me away,” he said.

When he heard the news a new installment was in the works, he was hoping the producers would consider him for a part and luckily for Durand, they already knew his name and called for him to take a look at the part.

And to get the larger than life Blob ready for the cameras, it took six months of costume and special effects preparation.

“I have a feeling people are going to like him,” Durand said.

I think people will like him because The Blob is big, fat and stupid. I pray we get some of this goodness in the movie.

Daniel Radcliffe spoke to Empire magazine about the sixth movie, Harry Potter And The Half-Blood Prince. He told them about a swarm of undead creatures who guard an item that Harry needs to defeat Voldermort, which will turn up in the third act of the movie.

“They’re horrible,” Says the boy wizard Daniel Radcliffe of the beings who look like humans made of only skin and bone and want to get their hands on Harry. “They made me think of bodies from concentration camps. It’s that terrible look of a body that’s wasted away, but not a skeleton. There will be child inferi too. They’re probably the most frightening things of any of the movies so far”.

Director David Yates also spoke about the opening scene.

“We’re opening with a big attack,” director David Yates told Empire when we visited the set. “It’s talked about in the book, but we’re going to show it. We’ll bring a major London landmark crashing down. It should be quite spectacular”.

I haven’t read the book but i’m guessing it is either Big Ben or the London Eye that gets attacked. Which one is it Potter fans?

The image in this post is new, and the full version can be seen by clicking here, where you will also see a bloody Harry front cover for the August edition of Empire magazine. When I say a ‘bloody Harry front cover’ I don’t mean it in an angry tone. He does actually have blood on his face.

Two days ago it was revealed that Helena Bonham Carter will have a small but pivotal role in Terminator Salvation: The Future Begins. When I read this it got me interested because the role must be important, otherwise they wouldn’t have got an actress like Helena on-board. They could have just hired any random actress for such a small role. It reminded me of Emma Thompson’s part at the beginning of I Am Legend. She is a great actress and rather well known, yet was only on-screen for a minute or so and her role was important in explaining the whole ‘cure for cancer’ thing and was pivotal to the plot.

Joblo got some more info on Helena’s part in Terminator:

Just got word earlier this morning that it’s a done deal and Helena Bonham Carter will be filming are very substantial (in importance not necessarily in size) part in TERMINATOR SALVATION. The character is not Sarah Connor, as speculated below, but someone named “Serena.” Hmmm…..

Devin from CHUD also posted on his forum that the character will be a lead villain, but is only in two scenes.

I think the two scenes ‘Serena’ is in could set up for the next movie, where Helena Bonham Carters role will be considerably larger. But that just me speculating, I guess we won’t find out until next May.
