James Bond star Daniel Craig enjoys filming love-making scenes because the on-screen romps make shooting whole movies “easier”. The screen super-spy has had a gala time ‘romping’ Bond girls like Eva Green and Gemma Arterton in new movie Quantum Of Solace.

However, the hunk admits it’s a welcome break from the intense action scenes throughout the rest of the superspy films, because he doesn’t need to put too much thought into them. “I’m an actor, so I’ve been an exhibitionist for as long as I can remember,” Contactmusic quoted him, as saying. “Those love scenes make the shoot a bit easier. But I guess if I stopped to think about them it would probably be quite embarrassing,” he added.

Samuel Jackson riding Last Dragon remake

After Samuel L. Jackson is taking on another heavy role. Having most recently played a dirty cop in Lakeview Terrace, Jackson is set to star as a bad guy again in a remake of Motown Records founder Berry Gordy’s 1985 cult classic The Last Dragon.
Jackson will play Sho’Nuff, the Shogun of Harlem, a role played in the original by the late Julius Carry, whose spiel included asking ego-driven questions like “Am I the baddest mofo lowdown around this town?” Each time his gang of thugs answered, “Sho’Nuff!”

Columbia Pictures’ updated plot will be along the same lines of the original, centering on young martial arts student Leroy Green in his quest through the streets of New York to achieve the highest level of martial arts accomplishment, known as the The Last Dragon. The original, which also starred one-namers Taimak and then-Prince protegee Vanity, was released in March 1985 by TriStar Pictures and received lukewarm reviews. Roger Ebert said it was a “great near-miss.” The Last Dragon managed to do well at the box-office, grossing nearly $26 million.

Tom Ford fashions cast for feature foray

Fashion designer Tom Ford is getting the cast in place for his long-awaited move into features. Colin Firth, Julianne Moore and Matthew Goode are set to star in A Single Man, Ford’s adaptation of the Christopher Isherwood novel. Published in 1964, the novel centres on a gay man who, after the sudden death of his partner, is determined to persist in his usual routine, which is seen in the span of a single, ordinary day in southern California.

Firth is the gay man, an Englishman and professor who feels like an outsider in Los Angeles. Goode is the boyfriend who dies in a car accident and appears in flashbacks. Moore plays a friend of the professor.

Ford adapted the screenplay for the independently financed project with David Scearce. A Monday start date is being eyed. Ford rose to the top of the fashion world with a 10-year run at Gucci, a period that turned around the fortunes of the fashion house. He stepped down in 2004, signing on with CAA with the aim to slide into the director’s chair. Firth was last seen in Mamma Mia! and Moore in Blindness. Goode plays Ozymandias in next year’s Watchmen.
