The first trailer for Taylor’s upcoming movie Battleship has premiered online. You can watch it below. The movie is scheduled for release on May 18, 2012.

Last night marked the return of Tim into the Friday Night Lights and we have two clips from the episode to share with you. In the first, Billy, Eric and Buddy speak at Tim’s parole hearing and the second Tim asks that Billy not speak for him. I will have screencaptures soon.

Actor Taylor Kitsch seems like a sharp young man with a career that really could be huge. After spending years as part of the cast of NBC’s popular show “Friday Night Lights“, he was cast as the popular “X-Men” character Gambit in 2009′s X-Men Origins: Wolverine. Next summer is going to be big for Kitsch as he’s playing the title character in Disney’s John Carter of Mars, directed by Andrew (WALL•E) Stanton, and a key role in Peter Berg’s Battleship, both of which look to be big movies as well as ones we’ve seen almost nothing for so far.

But first, Kitsch can be seen in Steven Silver’s The Bang Bang Club, a portrait of the group of photographers who captured the atrocities during the later years of Apartheid in South Africa on film, pictures that caught the world’s attention. Kitsch plays Kevin Carter, the member of the club who took his craft to rock star levels, doing drugs and eventually killing himself after a controversial photo he took seemingly turned the world against him.

Ryan Phillipe plays Greg Marinovich, the newest member of the Bang Bang Club–the film is based on the novel of the same name he wrote along with fellow member João Silva–and Malin Akerman plays the photo editor whose support helps the Bang Bang Club achieve global recognition.

In our video interview, which you can watch below, we talked about how he came onto the project and tried to learn as much about the person he was playing as he could and how this movie relates to recent events in Libya where a number of photojournalists including Oscar-nominated director Tim Hetherington were murdered. We also got in a few questions about Battleship and John Carter of Mars–he was a bit worried he may have told us too much about the latter–as well as asking whether we’d ever see him as Gambit again.

The Bang Bang Club is now playing on Video on Demand, but it will open in New York and L.A. on Friday, April 22. (source)

Gambit ‘Doesn’t Care What You Think’
Taylor Kitsch, best known for his roll on “Friday Night Lights,” shares details about his X-Men character.

‘Gambit’ Solo Movie Should Return To The Thieves Guild

Hugh Jackman headlines “X-Men Origins: Wolverine” when it opens around the U.S. this week, but it’s on the shoulders of Taylor Kitsch to convince Fox to bring Gambit back to the big screen.

The X-Men’s resident thief and sharp-tongued Cajun has long been a fan favorite in comic books, and now Kitsch has high hopes for the character on film. He even has suggestions for where Fox could take the character in a “Gambit” solo film.

“I would love to go darker,” Kitsch told MTV News. “[Gambit] in Vegas was fun, but I want to go into the Thieves Guild part of his story.” Read full article »

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.
