July 24, 2011

SAN DIEGO, Calif.

Freida Pinto lucked out when it came to filming “Immortals” – the beauty, who plays Greek priestess Phaedra in the upcoming adventure film, says that although she did have to watch what she ate in preparation for the movie, her male co-stars had to adhere to a much harsher regimen.

“I didn’t have to keep it as strict as the boys had to,” Freida told Access Hollywood of her male co-stars’ (Henry Cavill as Theseus, Kellan Lutz as Poseidon and Luke Evans as Zeus) diet restrictions at the 2011 Comic-Con in San Diego, Calif., on Saturday. “I would see them and offer them fruit and they’d say, ‘No, we can’t have fruit.’ And I’m like, ‘Fruit? Fruit’s healthy!’ And they’d say, ‘Yeah… but it’s sugar.”

Danny Boyle made the world root for a Mumbai street urchin in “Slumdog Millionaire,” made James Franco sweat as a climber trapped in a Utah canyon for “127 Hours.” Then for his next trick, he made a monster.

The Academy Award-winning director returns to the British stage after 15 years with “Frankenstein,” a new adaptation of Mary Shelley’s Gothic chiller about a scientist who builds himself a man, with tragic consequences for himself and his creation.

BURBANK, Calif.

Most of the focus Tuesday morning surrounded the big name nominees for this year’s Academy Awards – Portman, Bening, Firth, Bale and more – but amongst this year’s first-time Academy Award nominees were some surprising familiar faces from the music industry.

Trent Reznor, the lead singer of Nine Inch Nails, along with Atticus Ross, were nominated for their Original Score for “The Social Network,” which many consider the duo the front-runners to win. Just last week, Reznor and Ross won a Golden Globe award for their score for the film.

In the Original Song category, popular British singer Dido, along with her brother and frequent producing partner DJ Rollo Armstrong, received a nod for writing the lyrics to “If I Rise” from “127 Hours,” for which A.R. Rahman composed the music.

TORONTO, ONT

Freida Pinto thought dealing with reporters and photographers at big movie premieres would be a breeze after her experience on her first red carpet two years ago at the Toronto International Film Festival.

“I’m gonna tell you, there was not a single soul on the red carpet for ‘Slumdog Millionaire.’ Not a single soul. Just a photographer and one person doing the interview,” said Pinto, who came to the festival an unknown and left a rising star after the movie shot from obscurity to win the festival’s audience award for favorite film on its way to Academy Awards triumph and box-office success.
