MTV has debuted a bunch of profile videos of the X-Men Origins: Wolverine characters, including one of Taylor’s Gambit. You can watch it below.

I would like to wish Taylor a very happy birthday! He turns 28 today! Here’s hoping he’ll get some time off from his busy schedule to celebrate!

I also want to say that I would like to encourage everyone to steer clear from the leaked workprint of X-Men Origins: Wolverine. Let’s all support Taylor and the movie by seeing it in the cinema and not on our computer screens. We all want a Gambit movie, don’t we!? So, making this movie successful at the box office is the way to go and maybe we’ll get our wish granted!

Anyways, look for some new Friday Night Lights related screencaps in the gallery coming up later today.

Looks like we’ll be seeing a whole different Taylor in his new movie The Bang Bang Club which is currently shooting in South Africa.

Photographer Kevin Carter, who later committed suicide, is being played by US actor Taylor Kitsch who did not join the rest of the cast as he was having his hair dyed dark brown for the role.

Rautenbach said Kitsch lost nearly 14kg to play the role of Carter, who was being interviewed for winning a Pulitzer Prize at the time Oosterbroek was shot. (source)

Silk Spectre Teams Up With Gambit To Stop Apartheid

The consensus on Watchmen, except for a few extremely vocal naysayers, seems to be that it’s pretty good. One of the many reasons it’s good is Malin Ackerman who, isn’t half bad as a character which I’d always thought of as pretty thankless in the comic. Maybe Malin has something, which means her next movie is worth paying attention to.

Variety says that next movie is The Bang Bang Club. Unfortunately it’s not a film noir set in a strip club, as the title suggests. It’s about South African apartheid and Ackerman plays the photo editor of a group called Bang Bang Club. The group is comprised of four war photographers, with Ryan Phillipe and Taylor Kitsch (soon to be seen playing Gambit in Wolverine) as two of the four.

Based on a memoir by Bang Bang Club members Greg Marinovich and Joao Silva, the indie film tells the story of four photographers whose pictures captured the final, bloody days of white supremacy in South Africa. (source)

And on Taylor Kitsch as Gambit, Jackman said: “I can say it. He’s sexy, right? He’s a little bit like a junior Wolverine in a way. He’s a little bit of a wise guy. He’s an outsider. He’s got some issues himself. He’s mischievous. He’s cheeky. He’s a bit of a badass.

“We have a really great fight sequence. Physically that guy is an animal. He was chucking himself around on the concrete. He has that passion that I remember having when I first did Wolverine. There was no way a stunt double was doing anything for him.”
