Review: ‘Collateral Beauty’ Starring Will Smith, Kate Winslet, Helen Mirren, Edward Norton and Michael Peña
There’s sadness and plenty of humor and but the movie tries so hard to be uplifting and deep, that it just gets in the way of itself.

When the interviewer points out the praise for Sing Street, Carney responds, “Well, it’s fantastic. I’m very surprised; it’s a small personal movie with no Keira Knightley’s in it. It’s really rewarding.”
Keira Knightley on her Broadway debut, Therese Raquin: “I don’t know how to do it and there are so many problems with putting it on. But I was sort of up for the challenge”
On the first night of previews on Thursday, October 1, an unknown male audience member in the mezzanine went to the railing and shouted out to Knightley.
Director John Carney (Once) narrates a scene from his new film, Begin Again. Starring Keira Knightley and Mark Ruffalo, the scene shows the first time the two characters meet. I haven’t seen it yet but I’ve heard it’s great.
Mark Ruffalo might be on everyone’s radar for his role as the Hulk in Marvel’s Avengers franchise, but he’s in theaters right now with a smaller film. Begin Again is an indie film with the 46-year-old actor playing a recently-fired record executive who comes across a broken-hearted musician played by
There’s always risk involved when adapting a famous novel for the screen—especially when it’s been done before. But Keira Knightley insists the new version of Leo Tolstoy’s Anna Karenina brings something new to the table, mainly the actress’ own take on the role.
Keira Knightley, star of the new adaptation of Tolstoy’s Anna Karenina, knew she wanted to be an actress from an early age.
It might surprise you that Keira Knightley, who just won the role of the female lead in Paramount’s new Jack Ryan film (opposite Chris Pine), used to suffer from anxiety while filming.
Keira Knightley earned Academy Award and Golden Globe Award nominations for her portrayal of Elizabeth Bennet in Joe Wright’s version of Pride & Prejudice, based on Jane Austen’s novel, also for Focus Features. Two years later, she was a Golden Globe and BAFTA Award nominee for her performance as Cecilia Tallis in Atonement, again directed by Joe Wright and for Focus Features, based on the novel by Ian McEwan.
Gillian Jacobs had to forget her inhibitions for her cameo in the new indie Seeking a Friend at the End of the World. The actress, who also plays Britta on NBC’s Community, plays a waitress who becomes involved in a end-of-the-world kissing fest… ok, orgy.
Looks like Steve Carell is steering away from light comedy. The former Office star is starring in the dark comedy Seeking A Friend for the End of the World.
An unlikely star is said to have brightened up the set of Steve Carell’s new comedy movie Seeking A Friend for the End of the World. His name is Aleister, a five-year-old terrier mix who was rescued from a shelter four years ago in California.
In Seeking a Friend for the End of the World, Keira Knightley’s character Penny joins the ranks of cinema’s Manic Pixie Dream Girls. Not familiar with the term? Coined by film critic Nathan Rabin to describe the type of free-spirited, indie-music loving, quirky young girls who seem to only exist in movies to open up emotionally hollow men (like Natalie Portman’s character in Garden State and Zooey Deschannel’s in 500 Days of Summer), Knightley’s version of the MPDG serves as inspiration to Steve Carrell’s character in the film, who is trying to come to terms with the failures in his life as the world is coming to an end.
When asked if there was a difference for her when it comes to playing a fictitious character, or that of a real person, Knightley shared that she uses the same approach when acting.
It’s a risky undertaking to portray such a celebrated figure as psychologist Carl Jung, but as A Dangerous Method’s Michael Fassbender explains, it was all about channeling the influential doctor’s humor and ego.
“I wanted it to be shocking, because what was going on internally (for Sabina) was shocking.
“Doing it solidly for two years at that time was definitely enough. And I mostly just wanted to do something else.”
That process of sitting down and breaking down a character and finding out the reason why someone does what they do.
