СМИ о Джерарде Батлере (интервью в печати, видео, статьи в прессе, информация с сайтов) (продолжение)
marina: Эта темка для обсуждения того, что говорят о Джере различные средства массовой информации.
Magia: Алек Болдуин всё в женихих ходит.Такую женщину красивую упустил Ким Бесинджер. наш так впрочем и не жениться.
marina: Кроме всего прочего, Джерьку провозгласили лучшим британским актером в Голливуде. Такой опрос был устроен некой системой проката DVD и игр Lovefilm (если я правильно поняла, что это именно система проката, а не что-то другое). Голосование проводилось среди более чем тысячи человек и Джер опередил Кристиана Бейла и дважды оскароносца Дэниела Дэй-Льюиса(кто это такой???? ). http://news.scotsman.com/scotland/Butler-voted-best--Brit.5842595.jp Сейчас год подходит к концу и всяких дурацких рейтингов и голосований будет видимо невидимо! MadMariner Кстати, инфа про игрушку будет в декабрьском оригинальном Космополитене. Надеюсь, что в нашем российском варианте они тоже это напечатают? Или снова с опозданием на месяц?
MadMariner: marina пишет: дважды оскароносца Дэниела Дэй-Льюиса Дей-Льюис играл главного гада в "Бандах Нью-Йорка" Скорцезе и главную роль в "Нефти", за что Оскары и получил - классный дядька и суперский актер.
Magia: Tanya Один комментарий к этим изделиям,однозначно нам всё это надо и побольше. И кружечку и маечки и подущечки ,всё нужно
marina: Tanya Ты правильно подозреваешь, что не в ту тему. Давай в Шепот переноси.
Lana: Эту статью с фоткой еще не выкладывали? People - Nov. 30, 2009 Красотень!
MadMariner: A life less Spartan Russell Leadbetter Published on 23 Nov 2009 Actor Gerard Butler feared he wasn't good enough for a Hollywood career, but hard work has changed that. In 1998, a young Scottish actor, finding himself in America, talked his way into a film audition. Despite his acting experience back home, the American accent proved too much for him, and he walked away, disconsolate. "I had no idea what I was doing," says Gerard Butler. "It was probably the worst audition I'd ever given, and in those moments you think, oh well, that's it – obviously I'm never going to be able to do this, I'm never going to be able to act with an accent... "You have two choices – to resign yourself to that, or to say I'm really going to give it a try. I hated that feeling of knowing I walked out of there and thinking I wasn't good enough or couldn't get it together. But there was a possibility that that could happen – to imagine the feeling of going into an audition and thinking that you have really impressed the pants off people, in another accent, and you could walk into a role and be able to pull that off." Eleven years later, his Scottish capacity for self-doubt long overcome, the Paisley-born actor is thriving. We meet when he returns briefly to Glasgow for the premiere of his latest film, Law Abiding Citizen, and if he looks slightly fatigued – he woke up this morning with what seems to be some grit in his eye ("must be stress") – it is because the last few days have been hectic. He celebrated his 40th birthday, partied with family and friends, made his debut on Jonathan Ross's chat-show, and today, at One Devonshire Gardens, is glad-handing the press for the new film. In Hollywood, Butler has done action-adventure and rom-coms: the CGI-laden Sparta epic 300, which grossed an estimated $457 million; Gamer, alongside Michael C Hall; The Ugly Truth opposite Katherine Heigl; P.S. I Love You with Hilary Swank and he has just voiced a part for a DreamWorks animated extravaganza, How to Train Your Dragon. In his personal life he has, almost by default, been associated with a procession of high-profile actresses. His large duplex apartment in New York, resplendent in dark wood and chandeliers, has a first floor that "feels like a room in a castle", according to the New Yorker magazine. But, like many actors before him, Butler is intent on taking on more challenging roles. At 40, now is the time. In Law Abiding Citizen, which he also co-produced, he plays a man provoked to Jacobean revenge against the killers of his wife and daughter, and against the legal system which he believes let him down. Jamie Foxx, an Oscar winner for Ray, is the quietly tenacious prosecutor who comes up against him. Audiences have been known to flinch during one scene, in which Butler's character, Clyde Shelton, tortures one of the killers to death. "At times this movie can be brutal and, definitely, it's slightly challenging on the nerves," he says. "The torture scene was something that a lot of thought went into: 'how much you can get away with before the ratings board shut you down?', which they did on a couple of occasions. There were certain things we had to pull back on. There's something about that scene which is so cathartic for me as a character but also for the audience, because they're very invested in him by that point. Despite the fact that you're horrified by what you're seeing, you're loving it as well." It's a sign of how much Butler has come on as an actor that he is capable, in such a role, of holding on to the audience's sympathy for a surprisingly long time. "What we played with a lot was ... bringing back his humanity," he says. "That can be done just with little shots, to show that he's not a monster, not just evil, that he's coming from a place of pain and loss." There is, he concedes, a moment when the film "goes into entertainment, becomes more popcorn, when this guy brings the city to its knees and it's no longer quite believable." The film, which was shot in Philadelphia, was co-produced by Evil Twins, which Butler formed with his longtime manager, Alan Siegel. "It's a double-edged sword," he says of the dual burden this placed on him. "Definitely, I felt like I had more power in the process. People had to listen to you because now you're producer and actor. When you're the lead actor or a co-star in a movie, you have a lot of say and you realise you don't have to throw your weight about as much, that people want to keep you happy. They know you didn't get there for no reason, that you have some taste, a relative amount of intelligence, an understanding. "But when you're coming in as a producer, especially at my part, which was more from the creative side, then I had a lot of say there as well. But then there's the added pressure. You're trying to focus on the role but you're also working on any production problems or script issues. This was not the most problem-free of productions, a lot of which were for good reasons. Sometimes, if you're trying to pull off a movie with a major conceit or that is trying to walk a fine line, you're in between making it a great movie or a piece of s***. We were always fighting to make it a great movie." Since then, Butler has completed his role in The Bounty, in which he plays a bounty hunter who discovers his wife (Jennifer Aniston) is his next target and for which he spent weeks honing a New York accent. Evil Twins, meantime, is developing, in conjunction with James Cameron's production company, the New Mexico-set Hanging Tale. A second project, Slide, sees a former Major League baseball player returning home to his estranged wife and son and becoming coach to a kids' baseball team. "It's like a cross between Dear Frankie and Shampoo," Butler laughs. He only smiles wanly, however, when the on-off Robert Burns project (scripted by Rob Roy's Alan Sharp) is mentioned. "There have always been issues with getting it just right. It's not an easy thing to pull off. If it had been, it would have been made a long time ago. We've never been in a situation where we've had 100% financial backing. It feels like it needs to be jazzed up a little. It was getting a little too bogged down in the heaviness and darkness of his life." Speaking of British films, does he have any view on the state of the domestic industry, and on Robert Carlyle's call for cinema chains to have dedicated British screens? "There is generally a problem in the film industry all over the world. There's not exactly a huge amount of movies being made in America either. But when I come back here and speak to people, it seems that the situation is particularly dire. I don't have any specific answers for that, to be honest." He says that, like mastering accents, acting itself becomes easier, the more he does it. "The process becomes easier, because it makes sense. I remember when I would start in a restaurant when I was a law student. The first couple of days were a nightmare, everything took so much effort and thought, and you hadn't learnt things yet. But two weeks into the job, you think, why was I ever worried? It's a piece of cake. "It's the same with acting. The first time I went in front of a camera, I had no idea what I was doing. It took a lot of energy to do the minimum of things, whereas now it becomes easier and easier – although the roles you take on become more challenging, and that's what I keep trying to do; to challenge myself more, the more confident I feel in the business." Before heading back into his red carpet lifestyle, Butler just has time to recall The Match, Mick Davis's Scots-set football film of 10 years ago. "I really wanted to do it but Max Beesley got it. I was heartbroken, gutted. But then I tried to look at it another way and it really helped. "I thought, you know what? Good for him, because there's a guy who's English and managed to land a role in a Scottish accent, which is not easy at all. "It was a lesson to me: if I want to be landing these roles and pulling them off, I have to make these leaps and go for it. And maybe one day I'll be that guy. There'll be somebody else who could have played the role, but I'd put in the work." He has told Beesley as much, a gesture his friend appreciates. "There's so much envy and jealousy in this business, and I know it just eats you up. You do a lot better when you just support people." Новая статья из "Геральд-Скотланд"
GalA: MadMariner Навскидку перевод интересный. Так что уж порадуйте нас хорошим переводом Особенно меня заинтересовало, когда он "бледно улыбнулся", когда его спросили про Бернса)) Девоньки, ждем-с!
MadMariner: На офсайте появился читабельный Men's Fitness
GalA: Девочки-труженицы, это вам еще для перевода)) Ну, пожалуйста! Challenge the lure for Gerard Butler Category: Interviews Article Date: November 25, 2009 | Publication: Metro.co.uk | Author: LARUSHKA IVAN-ZADEH Source: Metro.co.uk Posted by: admin ShareThis Gerard Butler plays a family man whose wife and daughter are murdered in Law Abiding Citizen Thanks to a leather thong, what can only be called a 12-pack and a bellow of 'This – is – SPARTA!', Gerard Butler thrust his way into global parody – sorry, collective consciousness – in 2006, as the muscle-bound lead in the box office record-breaking CGI sword and sandals epic 300. It won Butler, among other plaudits, the illustrious prize of Biggest Ass Kicker at the 2007 Spike TV Guys' Choice Awards, and was the role he was best known for until his recent on-off one as the-man-who-might-be-shagging-Jennifer Aniston. I'm not meant to ask him about that, though, because before interviewing him about his latest film Law Abiding Citizen, I had to sign a piece of paper saying I won't. 'I didn't even know you had to sign that!' he laughs good-naturedly, his Glasgow-educated accent making him sounding like Billy Connolly's younger brother (a part he actually played in his debut movie, Mrs Brown). 'It's just because in every interview it's like: "So, are you with Jennifer Aniston? What about Lindsay Lohan?".' (Allegedly he and LiLo were 'spotted' snogging at a party in Morocco recently.) 'And every time I say "not true", because it's NOT true! And it just gets really boring.' Butler has a jovial, straight-in-the-eye charm that makes you (want to) believe him. A useful skill for an actor and for a lawyer, the profession he originally trained for until he "other interests", none of which were healthy. 'Let's just say I had 32 days off in two years – and 25 of them were Mondays,' he says. Now wrestled free of such 'interests', Butler's clearly a man who relishes a fight, building a reputation for tenaciously pursuing movie parts. His heroic build ('in Scotland I'm just like a lot of other guys but in America I'm seen as a very strong, masculine guy') has had Hollywood instantly casting 6ft 2in Butler in endless 'hunk' roles, most recently with multiplex romcoms such as The Ugly Truth and P.S. I Love You. But the 40-year-old denies ever taking the soft route or that by taking everything from kiddie movies (Nim's Island) to The Phantom Of The Opera (the film version of the stage musical), he's hedging his career bets. 'The big success of 300 did not lead people to say, "Oh, we want to put you in a romantic comedy." Quite the opposite. It was a real challenge.' 'When it came to the auditions, we couldn't say "oh, here's Gerry being funny in a romantic comedy with Jennifer Aniston", so we would literally play tapes of me from talk shows. It was, "Look, here's Gerry spinning a funny story on Jay Leno" or "Here's Gerry goofing around with Conan O'Brien". That's literally how I got a couple of those parts.' Law Abiding Citizen certainly assaults that newly won romcom image. He plays Clyde, a loving, mild-mannered family man whose his wife and little daughter are brutally murdered. When a legal loophole saves their assailants from the chair, Clyde takes the law into his own hands, exacting torture porn, Saw-style justice. 'My manager and agents were like: "I don't know if you want to do this because things are going great – audiences might not want to see you in a romcom if they remember you as this guy who cuts people to pieces."' Yet Butler finds it's the only way he can stay interested. 'I can't stick the same role in the same situation for too long,' he decides. Which explains why he's also having a stab at Shakespeare with Ralph Fiennes' movie of Coriolanus, which begins shooting next year. Before Coriolanus, however, is The Bounty, aka That Jennifer Aniston Movie. There is, however, a new lady in his life the perma-bachelor will talk about: his tiny pug, Lolita – so dinky when he bought her that she fitted into his palm. Awww! A bit of a girly choice, I hazard? 'Hey, she's a tenacious little f***er, my dog! She really is. When she was younger, I couldn't believe her insane fearlessness. She'd risk her life from moment to moment for no gain whatsoever. 'That's very much my character trait as well. I'm definitely insane and I've got quite a bit of courage.' Who knew that inside every Hollywood hero, there's an ickle handbag dog just yapping to get out?
