Don’t roll up that red carpet just yet. Awards season still has one more ceremony to get through: The 2015 MTV Movie Awards hosted by Amy Schumer.
The Best Moments from Amy Schumer's Star-Studded 'Trainwreck'
The network’s annual ceremony typically honors a mix of award-bait films and fan favorites of the past year. And this year is no different with Oscar winners, Birdman and Whiplash, nominated alongside Guardians of the Galaxy and The Fault in Our Stars. The latter two actually garnered seven nominations each. The two films tied with Neighbors for the most potential wins.
Other standouts include Gone Girl, which earned a lot of attention for Rosamund Pike’s turn as a scorned housewife Amy Elliott, and The Hunger Games: Mockingjay – Part 1, which is getting love for Jennifer Lawrence’s much loved musical moment.

While Rosamund Pike has been getting tons of Oscar and Golden Globe buzz as Amy Elliott Dunne in David Fincher's adaptation of Gone Girl, it was actually her role as the hot new Bond girl opposite of Pierce Brosnan in 2002's Die Another Day that first earned her international acclaim.
"It's not like anything else," Rosamund, then 23-years-old, told Et of the Bond flick. "I don't think I'll ever do a film like it again."
Landing the part of Miranda Frost in her first major film role was a moment she would never forget.
"That's never going to leave me, that moment. There's nothing more exhilarating than that first moment of being given that compliment, that vote of confidence, everything. But it's coupled with the kind of moment that comes after which is, 'How am I going to do it? How am I going to pull it off?'"

Need more proof Marvel controls the world? This week the movie studio even made Google (Google! of all companies) do their bidding when Marvel issued a subpoena to investigate the identity of a Google user named “John Gazelle” who may have been responsible for the low-quality leak of Marvel’s trailer for Avengers: Age of Ultron. The subpoena alleges that “John Gazelle” may have uploaded the file to a Google Drive account, and they have now “commanded” Google to “produce at the time, date, and place set forth below the following documents, electronically stored information, or objects, and to permit inspection, copying, testing, or sampling of the material.”
Both Deadline and The Hollywood Reporter have copies of the court document. In it it’s clear that while the first request to produce documents was granted by the courts, Marvel was not granted the right to “permit entry onto the designated premises,...

It’s been one remarkable year for actress Carrie Coon, who first wowed audiences on stage with her Tony-nominated performance as Honey in Who’s Afraid of Virginia Woolf? She followed that performance with the role of Nora Durst, a woman who lost her husband and two kids during the rapture in the hit HBO series The Leftovers. Now she can be seen in her first film as Margo Dunne, twin sister to Ben Affleck‘s character Nick, in the big screen adaptation of Gone Girl (Oct. 3).
While all three of Coon’s first major roles are wildly different they do share the same dark tonal thread. Yet, the actress will have you know she’s not as disturbed as her on screen personas. “I’m not particularly depressive or a heavy person,” Coon tells VH1, “but I always play these really dark, deeply disturbed people.”

Gone Girl, starring Ben Affleck and directed by David Fincher, adapts Gillian Flynn's best-selling novel of the same name for the big screen.
In Gone Girl, Affleck plays Nick Dunne, a charismatic yet devious husband whose wife Amy (Rosamund Pike) mysteriously disappears. Nick becomes the main suspect in Amy's disappearance, as the media and law enforcement closes in on the case. Serving as evidence in the case is the unreliable diary kept by Amy herself, who wrote of a troubled marriage that often made her feel unsafe. Neil Patrick Harris, Tyler Perry and Carrie Coon also star.

Reviews for Gone Girl have been positive across the board. In Fincher's hands and with a script penned by Flynn, the movie is thought to have possibly elevated the book to new heights. As far as Affleck and Pike's performances, critics have lauded both actors, finding...

Rosamund Pike, the star of the highly anticipated film, Gone Girl, is about to get a lot of attention for her standout role as Amy Elliott Dunne, a disillusioned housewife who suddenly disappears on her fifth wedding anniversary. The part is one intense (and showy) role, and will surely stick with audiences well after the end credits stop rolling.
With all the buzz coming her way, it’s a good time to get to know the 35-year-old English actress making a big splash Stateside.
She’s a Bond Girl
While this is definitely her biggest role, it’s hardly her first. The actress’ first big screen part was Miranda Frost, a villainous Bond Girl in Pierce Brosnan’s final James Bond film Die Another Day. She was the 68th actress to be featured as a woman who finds herself entangled with the famed British spy.

Gone Girl, one of the most anticipated films of 2014, is finally making its debut in theaters following what felt like years of hype. And thankfully, the movie about a woman who’s gone missing and the husband left to chase after her ghost lives up to every hyperbolic statement that has been said ahead of its release. David Fincher’s adaptation of Gillian Flynn‘s 2012 novel has ignited a firestorm of media frenzy, and with reason: It’s easily one of the best films of the year. With that said, everyone wants to know: Should I read this book before it comes out? How does it translate on screen? Ben Affleck?? Yes, the answer to all of those questions is yes. We’ll explain by breaking down the film into five handy talking points.

Rosamund Pike burst on to the scene as Bond girl Miranda Frost in Die Another Day back in 2002, and has since explored roles as diverse as Jane in Pride and Prejudice and Queen Andromeda in Wrath of the Titans.
Her newest role may be her most eye-catching, playing Amy opposite Ben Affleck's Nick in David Fincher's adaptation of Gillian Flynn's Gone Girl. She told Digital Spy that she relishes playing provocative characters, but why she has "to disappear for a while" after this movie.

David Fincher's shockingly good film version of Gone Girl is the date-night movie of the decade for couples who dream of destroying one another. Expect a stampede at the box office. Gone Girl is a movie of its cultural moment, an era when divorce won't cut it if there are options for lethal revenge and aggravated assault. In the toxic marriage of Nick Dunne (Ben Affleck) and Amy Elliott (Rosamund Pike), both partners are equal-opportunity liars and cheats. Or almost equal. Arguments between the sexes are going to be heated.

David Fincher’s Gone Girl is only a few weeks away from its October 3 release, and in pure Amy Elliott Dunne fashion, Twentieth Century Fox is dropping a few clues to boost excitement. One of the neat promotional tools is a Pinterest account assigned to the movie and book’s character Amy Dunne.
The profile picture shows a shot of Rosamund Pike from the movie, and the account currently has 10 boards alluding to various trends and personality traits that pop up throughout the novel. While some of the recipes, travel photos and Diy home decorating are pretty tame and expected for any Pinterest board, Amy also shows us a few of her signature personality quizzes she writes for a living, “photos” from Nick Dunne’s The Bar and glimpses of her life back in New York and in Missouri.

We already know that David Fincher‘s Gone Girl will be slightly different than author Gillian Flynn‘s original novel — at least, different when it comes to some third act tweaks — but that doesn’t mean that the filmmaker and writer have abandoned all the stuff that made the bestelling tale of a missing wife (Rosamund Pike) and her maybe-guilty husband (Ben Affleck) so good. That would be, in simple terms, really stupid. Most of our looks at the film so far — and there have been plenty, thanks to two juicy trailers — have focused on the film’s basic premise, which sounds like an obvious thing to do, but one that doesn’t exactly reflect the twisting and twisted nature of Flynn’s book. Yes, Amy Elliott Dunne (Pike) is missing, but no, this isn’t a film about a husband (Affleck) who offs his wife and tries to get away with it (and, no...

A new "Gone Girl" teaser aired during last night's Emmy Awards, and man, does Ben Affleck look like he dunnit.
The TV spot reused a lot of footage from previous trailers, but it started off with a new scene of Nick Dunne (Affleck) and Amy Elliott (Rosamund Pike) first meeting.
"I'm the guy to save you," he says, super-creepily, "from all this awesomeness."
Maybe that was charming and attractive, in a cocky sort of way, but their marriage soon starts to crumble, as Amy whispers, "Man of my dreams. This man of mine may truly kill me."
So, when she disappears without a trace, who else is a target for the investigators but her dear husband?
"Gone Girl" also stars Tyler Perry, Neil Patrick Harris, Patrick Fugit, and Kim Dickens, and opens in theaters October 3.

The beautiful, brilliant, and “amazing” Amy Elliott Dunne is gone and all accusatory eyes are laser-focused on her too-handsome husband, Nick. It’s a cruel but inevitable outcome when your wife happens to go missing on your fifth wedding anniversary.
In Gone Girl, we’re left to put together the intricate pieces of the mysterious disappearance. Is Amy (Rosamund Pike) dead? Is Nick (Ben Affleck) innocent? Is it that simple? Or is it pointless to speculate since we already know that author Gillian Flynn tossed out her own third act for something completely new?

In 2012, Gillian Flynn struck gold with her third novel Gone Girl, another in a growing line of unique mysteries with Dark Places and Sharp Objects preceding. Why did Gone Girl really spike her name up to the top? The story is full of so many twists and questionable facades that it really acts as a successful revision on genre mystery novels. That, or does the cover look similar enough to Fifty Shades of Grey that people have just kind of mentally connected the two?
While I have to admit the latter is somewhat true, it is the book itself that strongly merits critical favor. Flynn’s sense of perspective is impeccable, shifting back and forth from different narrators with extreme tonal changes. Gone Girl picks up the day of Amy Elliott Dunne’s disappearance from her home in Carthage, Missouri. Her husband Nick is trying to piece together what may have happened,...

Chicago – In Chicago, they are out and about on a daily basis. It is a simple pick-up truck, often bent and rusted with age. Most of the hauling areas in the back cabs of these trucks are outfitted with plywood extensions, increasing their ability to get more stuff in the back. They are the “Scrappers.”
This documentary follows two such men, as they prowl the alleys of Chicago, searching for the elusive metal that they can trade in for cash. Oscar is an undocumented immigrant from Honduras, working 14 hours a day to keep a subsistent level for his wife, child and family back home. Otis is a 73 year old African American man, proud and self-sufficient, who views scrapping as a noble and independent profession.
Co-directors Brian Ashby, Ben Kolak and Courtney Prokopas engage the two men, and use a point-of-view style to understand the often desperate circumstances of the scrap business and its practitoners.
