Woman's Wear Daily: "INTERNATIONAL MAN: Clive Owen may have breezed in and out of Milan to sit front and center at Giorgio Armani's shows, but this time he's back in town for work -? the British actor is filming "The International" with Naomi Watts. Director Tom Tyker selected many of Milan's landmarks for the action thriller, including the Pirelli Building ? or, as the Italians say, Pirellone. The Gio Ponti-designed palazzo is the tallest building in Milan and the closest thing the city has to a skyscraper. Today, filming will move on to the city's Fascist-era train station. More than 1,700 extras are expected to descend on Milano Centrale. In the film, Owen plays an Interpol agent investigating a powerful banking institution and its connection to arms dealers. Watts plays a Manhattan district attorney who becomes the agent's unlikely ally in taking the bank down. The crime thriller is set to be released on Aug. 15 in the U.S. and on Oct. 17 in Italy." - Thanks, Steph

Always a gentleman, even to press, Garlock helped Leslee Dart steer the top movie PR firm 42 West after they left PMK/HBH. Sadly, he died in September of non-Hodgkins lymphoma at just 41."

The Guardian Arts: Historian Alison Weir on Elizabeth: The Golden Age -- "Owen's Raleigh is a romantic hero for the MTV generation, sailing fire-ships into the Spanish fleet and swinging about on ropes. But the truth is that he shouldn't have been there. Raleigh didn't sail against the armada; he was probably manning coastal defences in Devon. The real Raleigh was very bombastic and full of himself; Elizabeth did like him, but she was never in love with him. She liked to flirt, but there is no evidence of anything emotional between them." - Thanks, Steph

The Independent: Jumpin' jets, Digby, who is this lantern-jawed hero? None other than the dashing Dan Dare, "Pilot of the Future", the Fifties icon last seen lost in space without a comic strip or television series to save him. But now the most British of all cosmic chaps has been rescued from the void by his own knight in a shining spacesuit, the entrepreneur and would-be astronaut Sir Richard Branson...The feature film rights are already being negotiated by the Creative Artists Agency, with Johnny Depp and Clive Owen among the leading actors already being talked about for the title role. - Thanks, Steph

Flickr: Film Costume - Worn by: Clive Owen as Walter Raleigh - Costume Designer: Alexandra Byrne Film: Elizabeth: The Golden Age An Elizabethan man of average means - and Raleigh is as commoner - would, in all probability, possess a single suit of clothes, so production did not have the luxury of outfitting him as they would their courtiers. Byrne explains, "There are lots of contemporary engravings of Raleigh, but the reality is that a gentleman of that time maybe had one suit of clothing - he would have gone to sea in those clothes, where they would have gotten wet, then dried, they would have gotten torn, they would have been repaired. So we worked with the idea that his clothes had gone to sea with him and they had evolved of the the journey... and remember, it was four months there and four monthes back." The designer worked with Clive Owen on the evolution of the design, assuring him that "the britches would be fine! He was a little alarmed by them. But by the end of production, I think he was quite keen on them, the way they have become a part of him. They give you a certain way of walking and a certain scale. He wears them like no one else!" - Thanks, Steph

The Telegraph UK: Review of GA -- "...The result is that the actors are left stranded: Owen is torn between playing a Jack Sparrow-like pirate and a passionate suitor; Blanchett amuses herself by hamming up like a regal Miss Jean Brodie; Cornish, who excels in those scenes in which she appears, fizzles out of proceedings. Other parts, including that of Rhys Ifans as a Papist fanatic, have either been underwritten or severely cut at a late stage. A lack of continuity or character depth might have been excused if the film worked as swashbuckling drama. But the Armada battle, one in which neither Lord Charles Howard nor Sir Francis Drake seem to have played a part, is marred by shoddy computer effects. At one point, Elizabeth claims: "I pretend there is a pane of glass between me and them and they can see me but cannot touch me." The pity of this botched follow-up is that it never once touches us."

IONCinena Blog: Roberts and Owen reteam in 'Duplicity' - Clive Owen is definitely one of my favorite actors currently working in film. I'm been a fan of his since Croupier. He was terrific in Closer, and Children of Men was easily my favorite film of 2006.

PR Inside: Early reminder that the Ricky Gervais Extras Christmas Special/Series Finale with Clive will be on HBO starting on 12/16

Variety: Europe goes over to dark side - "In the U.K., historical drama “Elizabeth: The Golden Age,” Shekhar Kapur’s follow-up to 1998’s “Elizabeth,” makes its Euro debut. It is the biggest opener in Blighty this weekend, going out on a very bullish 452 prints. The Universal release, which toplines Cate Blanchett, has received a lukewarm response from the Brit crix. Lead review headlines include “Elizabeth the second best is a royal wreck” (Daily Mail), “Faerie Queene falls to Earth” (Independent) and “Queen Elizabeth loses her luster” (Daily Telegraph). But Blanchett has been given the thumbs up for her turn as Queen Elizabeth I. Bookers are relatively upbeat about pic’s commercial prospects, predicting an opening between $3.5 million and $4 million. Optimistic projections are partly based on appeal of the cast, which includes Brits Clive Owen, Rhys Ifans and Samantha Morton." - Thanks, Steph

The Times UK: Rome condemns Queen Elizabeth again - this time over film of her reign -- A Vatican-backed historian has attacked the film Elizabeth: The Golden Age as a “distorted anti-papal travesty” that risks dividing the West just when it should be rediscovering its “common Christian roots” in the face of Islam. Writing in Avvenire, the official organ of the Italian Bishops’ Conference, Franco Cardini said that the film formed part of a “concerted attack on Catholicism” by atheists and “apocalyptic Christians”. Professor Cardini, who holds the chair of medieval history at Florence University and formerly taught at the Lateran University in Rome, a Vatican body, said that its aim was to “secularise and de-Christianise” Europe. - Thanks, Steph
