On principle, Clive Owen doesn't bring his children to movie premieres or pose with his family for InStyle spreads. He recently told The Washington Post that this avoids a double standard -- if he doesn't want the paparazzi in his family's life at a bad moment, then he does not parade his family's life around when it suits his publicity needs. This means not sharing sonograms with People." - Thanks, Steph Week of 12/26/05 to 12/30/05 Comingsoon.net: Films of 2006 -- 8. Children of Men - I know almost nothing about this movie, but the fact that it's the latest from director Alfonso Cuarón (Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban, Y Tu Mama Tambien) is all that matters to me. On further inspection, it looks like a cool sci-fi future shock premise, starring Clive Owen, Julianne Moore, Michael Caine and more, so it should be great!" Thanks, Steph Big Flicks of 2006: March continues the action with 'V for Vendetta' (March 17), in which 'Star Wars' princess NATALIE PORTMAN is rescued from a life-and-death situation by a masked vigilante known only as "V," set against the futuristic landscape of totalitarian Britain. The same day, DENZEL WASHINGTON, CLIVE OWEN and JODIE FOSTER engage in a deadly game of cat and mouse during a volatile bank robbery in 'Inside Man.' - Thanks, Steph From Steph: Filming information: Shoot

In one corner stands Daniel Craig, making his 007 debut in Casino Royale. In the other we have that hotly tipped also-ran Clive Owen, who stars in Children of Men, Alfonso Cuarón's take on the PD James tale about a futuristic dystopia where a mystery virus has rendered the population infertile. Putting us in the festive spirit, we also have the first big Christmas movie of 2006. The bad news is that it turns out to be The Santa Clause 3." - Thanks, Steph, Dawn Reuters UK: Calling card shorts now mostly a long shot -- "...For example, looking for a directing gig at New Line, Michael Davis submitted several minutes of animatic action sequences of his own script, "Shoot 'Em Up." The studio liked what it saw, and the project is moving forward with Clive Owen attached." - Thanks, Steph The Oscar Igloo picks best films for 2006 (already!) Children of Men and The Inside Man make the "others to consider" list. Clive is listed as acting for both films.. From mgill:"Sin City has been listed on many critics top ten of the year lists.

In the perpetually crooked Sin City, the characters beat each other bloody in the name of love, revenge, and sadism. (One of its Amazon.com keywords is "cannibalism.") With Jessica Alba, Benicio del Toro, Brittany Murphy, Mickey Rourke, Bruce Willis, and Clive Owen, there are enough stars to fulfill anyone's Hollywood idolatry. Special features include fresh commentary by Frank Miller, special guest director Quentin Tarantino, and Robert Rodriguez. There's also film school and cooking school with Rodriguez, an interactive game, a blooper reel, mini-docs on everything from costuming to cars, the complete Sin City graphic novel "The Hard Goodbye," and 20 minutes of additional footage. And that's the short list. Lui has created some Clive holiday E Cards - Scroll to last three Variety: Eye on the Oscars - Visual Effects: Pic

Thanks, Steph Exclusive Sites for the new Sin City DVD release: Yahoo! and AOL Nice review for the Inside Man trailer at Can Magazine Comingsoon.net: Article on the New Sin City DVD - Sin City gets recut and extended -- "Rodriguez was especially excited about "The Long Take," a 14-minute segment featuring Tarantino, Benicio Del Toro and Clive Owen. Rodriguez let the camera run for an hour and from that selected 14 minutes of uninterrupted footage to show the audience what it's like on a movie set. The segment shows Tarantino talking to Owen, then Del Toro and Owen collaborating on a scene. It's amazing how much goes into getting just a few seconds of usable footage." Week of 12/05/05 to 12/11/05 Sin City has been nominated in the best ensemble acting category by The Broadcast Film Critics Association and The Washington D.C. area Film Critics Association.

Denzel Washington is a New York City detective; he runs a hostage-negotiation team. He has to match wits with the mastermind behind the bank robbery, who is played by Clive Owen. For UK fans: PR Newswire -- Clive will be among the celebrities guests at the World Premiere of the Chronicle of Narnia on the 7th December at the Royal Albert Hall - Thanks, Steph Clive is a choice in this month's Most Attractive Man at Hello Magazine. Don't forget to vote The Age au: Bochco's blind cop blues -- "There is also the British series Second Sight, with Clive Owen going blind from a rare virus. Even Dick Tracy lost his sight for a spell, back in 1938-39. And there's comic hero Daredevil, of course, though he has the advantage of actual superpowers, having lost his sight in a rain of radioactive gunk. - Thanks, Steph" Mr Owen is SO quiet these days!! Week of 11/21/05 to 11/27/05 The Chicago Sun Times: Drunkenness, nakedness make cyber shopping easier -- The customer experience firm Conchango surmises that BLOTO might have something to do with a couple of key statistics: 7 percent of the population say they know someone who has shopped online for something unnecessary while intoxicated, and 6 percent say they know someone who has shopped online in a state of undress......Let's pause for that visual. (I'm using Clive Owen for mine.) The Villager: Ed Koch on film - Derailed From moviesonline: "Buena Vista just emailed us to give us the complete low down on the All-New Collector’s Special Edition DVD Available December 13 – Just In Time For The Holidays! Also we have some new menu shots. If you are not as excited as me for this movie your a fool. A Fool I say! Featuring Extended, Unrated Version of the Film With Never-Before-Seen Footage, Plus Hours of Bonus Materials Overseen By Director Robert Rodriguez Bursting off the pages of the famed comic book, Frank Miller’s Sin City became one of this year’s most stylish, hip and creative films." - Thanks, Steph (Ed note: We have also been e-mailed and will be offering a contest or two later in December) Film Stew: Giving Thanks -- "Croupier trumps Casino: To Clive Owen, thank you for turning down the opportunity to be the next 007. It's not that you wouldn't have made a perfectly splendid license holder, probably on par with the ruggedness of a Connery. It's just that we've been there and done that, and the prospect of the scrawnier, less conventional and edgier Daniel Craig trying to carve a new identity for the super spy is most welcome at this critical, 21st mile juncture of a movie marathon. It's the point in the race where if you're not careful, you hit the wall. Besides, this also means that Owen can stick to interesting and unusual choices, like the still highly underrated Director's Cut of King Arthur." - Thanks, Steph Week of 11/14/05 to 11/20/05 comingsoon.net: Fourth place belonged to The Weinstein Co.'s Derailed, which added $6.5 million. The $22 million Clive Owen and Jennifer Aniston thriller is at $21.8 million after two weeks. - Thanks, Steph Overheard by a fan at a movie theater: "I'm in the theater waiting for the new Harry Potter movie to start. In front and to the right of me are two ladies, I'd say 60s or so (but I'm a TERRIBLE age guesser!) I wasn't really paying much attention until I heard one of the say "OMG, can you imagine Clive Owen as Tarzan?" The other replied "I'd buy a ticket for that. I'd pitch a tent in front of the movie theater!"

Clive Owen looks like he stepped right out of an East End dagger fight onto the film studio, bringing a fresh stack of authentic steely attitude to the screen. We are hip to the coolest British export since the Jaguar." The East Valley Tribune: Phone interview with Clive - Thanks, Pam The Sydney Morning Herald - Aniston derailed by Clive Owen - Thanks, Sabry The NY Times Derailed review by Manohla Dargis (Not good for the film, good for Clive!): Excerpt: "...As is often the case, Mr. Owen possesses every scene he plays, and his intensity helps anchor even the most implausible action. This remains true even when Charles repeatedly gets put through the wringer by Mr. Cassel's baddie, a creep whose flamboyant villainy, French accent and goatee all offer obvious clues as to his future. As he proved in "Ocean's Twelve," Mr. Cassel possesses some spectacular physical moves, but Mr. Owen looks as if he could wipe the floor and probably his nose with him, just as he did with Jude Law in "Closer." Some actors pass through movies as lightly as dust motes, and others slide off the screen, while still others, like Mr. Owen, seem as present and weighty as the person in the next seat. He holds us even as everything around him melts into..." (Free registraion required to read the whole review - recommended)- Thanks, Steph EW: Their cheatin' hearts - Thanks, Pam Sports Illustrated interviews Liverpool fan Clive interesting...- Thanks, Steph The Baltimore Sun: Clive talking with Liz Smith via phone: This part is interesting! " As much as the actor looks forward to the success of Derailed, he is thrilled with his coming Elizabeth:The Golden Age movie with Cate Blanchett. Directed by Shekhar Kapur, this is a sequel to Kapur's brilliant 1998 Elizabeth, in which Blanchett showed the evolution of England's first Queen Elizabeth, from sexy, high-spirited princess to powerful icon-in-her-own time ruler, the untouchable Virgin Queen. Owen, who will play Sir Walter Raleigh, says, "I took one look at this script and I said yes! It's fresh and exciting. And most of the creative team from Elizabeth is back on this one." - Thanks, Steph Instead of posting more reviews for Derailed, we can check them all out at Rotten Tomatoes (only a 27% positive rating as of 11/10!) (I will post the major papers tomorrow when the film opens) The Boston Herald - Shaken but not stirred... Thanks, Kyle The Sun-Times: Roger Ebert on Derailed - "...More than that I will not reveal. Let me say that I was intrigued by the performances. Clive Owen was my candidate for James Bond, and can play hard and heartless rotters (see "Closer"), but here he is quiet and sad, with a sort of passivity. He lets his face relax into acceptance of his own bad fortune." - Thanks, Steph The Detroit Free Press: PREVIEW: Terry Lawson interview with Jennifer Aniston (and Clive Owen) - Thanks, steph Cinema Confidential has an interview with Clive - Thanks mgill The SF Weekly: Derailed Review -- Clive Owen gets pushed to his limits, right along with the audience -- "...For Owen, Derailed doesn't put as much meat on the plate as he got with Closer or even Sin City, but he's always interesting to watch, especially when his nose is broken and he's carrying a briefcase stuffed with a hundred thousand bucks." - Thanks, Steph The transcript for the Larry King show is on line. Thanks, Steph Heads up! Clive will be on Good Morning America (ABC USA) today, November 9 The Village Voice on Derailed: "...That said, as the harried adman whose hormone-spurred bad judgment leads down a nightmare rabbit hole, Clive Owen proves he can just about save anything. His hangdog virility in Closer provided the heft and hurt that made the otherwise mannered roundelay seem credible. Here, he smolderingly complicates the moldy Fatal Attraction morality tale we've seen so many times before." Coming Soon!: Interview with Vincent Cassel - Thanks, Steph From Steph: At Moviefone, they have a very interesting Q&A video clip with interviews of Clive, Jennifer and Vince. Heads up from Katie! "I see that Clive is scheduled to appear on "The Early Show" on CBS Thursday morning, Nov 10th." Box Office Prophets: "Comment: - 13) Derailed Clive Owen made no secret of the fact that he wanted to be James Bond, but only if he was to be paid appropriately for his work. When there was confirmation that there was to be no such deal struck, Owen took his name off the short list. His daring presumption was that his career was in a place where the Broccoli Family needed him more than vice versa. Key in this decision is his role in Derailed, a project Owen feels will solidify his status as the thinking man's action hero. Of course, the last time Owen attempted this, the result was King Arthur, so there is significant risk involved in the bold decision. What Owen has in his favor is one of the most intriguing movie premises of 2005. An allegedly ordinary couple of people who happen to look like James Bond and Rachel from Friends meet on a train, fall in love and significantly enhance hotel commerce in their city. The problem is that both of them are married with children...and not to each other. Also, a Euro-trash no-good-nik shows up and starts with the blackmail threats, forcing the cheaters to try to hide their illicit shenanigans from those they love. All the while, they are threatened, cajoled and chased by a series of thugs, including a bad-ass with a glass eye. Derailed has been hailed as one of the most brilliantly convoluted scripts since Frantic, the 1988 Harrison Ford classic. That's plenty good enough for us." - Thanks, Steph Derailed review from Screen Daily. Thanks, Steph Week of 10/31/05 to 11/06/05 Variety Review for Derailed - not good: "...Owen has always been at his best playing smooth British badasses in films like "Croupier" and "Gosford Park," and it's simply no fun seeing him as a dumb schmuck. Despite a lingering hint of an English accent that lends the role a somewhat rarefied, cosmopolitan air, thesp can't help but tamp down his own natural charisma." Thanks Mgill Newsweek Newsmakers - Jennifer A Speaks: "My new movie, "Derailed." It's a really sexy psychological thriller with Clive Owen. I had never done a thriller before. It was hard to kiss Clive, but you know what? Somebody had to do it, and that's what they pay me for." Can you tell me if you receive unwanted pop up ads when you open up this page? Please put Clive Owen Page in the subject line! I have had trouble on some of my other pages and want to be sure this one is ad free. They should not be there, and are coming from one of the outside links I have posted. (Outside links are now HERE) Excellent interview with Clive and Aniston in the Chicago Tribune. "...It's very reactive," said the fashionably unshaven Owen, 41, who is married to actress Sarah-Jane Fenton. "You're not driving the story. It's coming at you, really. It's about finding different ways of demonstrating that level of stress, because otherwise it can get very boring. I just relished the challenge of putting people into the nightmare." - Thanks, Steph Part of the full page ad in the NY Times today (11/6) for Derailed The SF Gate: Back on track -- "If this interview were an episode of "Friends," it might be called "The One With Clive Owen." - Thanks, Dawn The Hollywood Reporter review of Derailed - "...Part of the problem is in the casting of its two dependable leads who both bring very specific qualities to the table -- a fundamental decency with Aniston and a soulful melancholy with Owen -- and those attributes simply don't serve this type of story effectively. Their relationship never achieves that pulpy, darkly driven passionate intensity required to command an equally pounding punishment." -- Thanks, John Movie.com has the Derailed trailer and clips - Thanks, Steph Clive in this wek's EW:
It's official: Larry King Live -- The show will now be on Nov.
8th The Star - Canada: Jennifer --- Owen was similarly complimentary. "I was thrilled when Mikael said he was going after Jenny for the part," he says. "I am always a huge fan of the ones that make it look easy. I think Jennifer is as good as it gets and it's not easy and she makes it look easy and she's so brilliant." - Thanks, Steph Joint interview in EW: ..."Clive, between Closer, Sin City, and now this, it's been a dark period for you. And yet you're a big fan of Adaptation. Would you be interested in doing a lighter film? -- OWEN Of course, it's just that I've never [been offered] a light, frothy film that I saw the point in doing. It's hard to write really good comedy. I read a lot of scripts that I just don't find very funny." - Thanks, Steph A fan reports that Clive and Jennifer on Larry King are rescheduled for November 8 - In an interview with Jennifer at aol.com -- "...As for her relationship with Vince Vaughn, Aniston deflected questions during a taping of Larry King Live, which is set to air Nov. 8. More Jennifer!!! But at last a good quote from Clive - at Reuters - Thanks, Steph The New Statesman: Will Hollywood blokes please stand up - "Currently, the spotlight is shared between Britain's Clive Owen and Colin Farrell, who between them are attached to a dozen upcoming Hollywood films. Poised to join them on the hunk A-list is Daniel Craig, who stars in Steven Spielberg's forthcoming terrorism drama Munich, and who has just been anointed as the new James Bond. Unsurprisingly, Owen and Farrell were both also considered to play the role whose original incumbent, Sean Connery, still tops the charts when male moviegoers are asked who they would most like to be." - Thanks, Steph The Shelbyville Times-Gazette: Lee criticizes 'gangsta' culture (Spike Lee) - Thanks, Steph Twin Cities.com: 'Derailed' - Here's hoping the intriguing trailer for "Derailed," along with recent ones for "Stay" and "Saw II," signal a movement away from Trailers That Tell Too Much. It has lots of plot (it's at www.weinsteinco.com/derailed), but it's still not clear exactly what it's all about. Sometimes, that's a sign the movie simply has too much going on. And, with its echoes of "Unfaithful" and "Fatal Attraction," that could be the case with "Derailed, which opens Nov. 11. But it also could be... Thanks, Steph USA Today: In an interview with Aniston & Owen -- As for her Derailed co-star and co-interviewee - Clive Owen, he'd bring his "wife and two children," actress Sarah-Jane Fenton and daughters Hannah, 9, and Eve, 7. The response elicits an "aww" and a grin from Aniston.... Looking slightly bashful, Owen, 41, offers to leave so his assets can be mulled over outside his presence. He's dapper in a crisp white shirt under a black suit. He is quiet and reserved, clearly not comfortable being the center of attention.

'I wasn`t disappointed at all,' Owen told reporters in New York Sunday. 'There was a lot of media speculation, but there was never an offer,' revealed the star of 'King Arthur' and next month`s psychological thriller, 'Derailed.' 'I sort of took myself out of the frame by taking a number of movies that will run into next year. They are all very different and all with very exciting people.' Although the actor won`t be playing Bond, he may return for a sequel to his recent hit, 'Sin City.' 'They are talking about coming back next year and I was a huge fan of `Sin City I,`' he said.

"That would do well . . . I would bet money on that! Even the hint that CSI might spread is enough to spark interest, given Zuiker's is the ultimate rags to riches Hollywood story....

It kind of ties things together: it shows how Dwight (Clive Owen) got his new face. Marv (Mickey Rourke) is still alive and the sisters, Goldie and Wendy (both played by Jaime King) are in it, so there’s a lot of cool stuff. It will be more epic, in that way.

You can get a photo from the Coventry Evening Telegraph from when Clive was 16. (Can anyone find this and scan for us?

I opened up the envelope and it says "Derailed starring Clive Owen..." We go down to lunch, and we're all talking, and out of the blue, Julia [Roberts] goes, "Has anybody worked with Clive Owen?" She had just finished "Closer". And I told her about the script... And she said, "Well, honey, if you can, you have got to work with him, because he is dreamy." The Scotsman: Tom Conti -- "... Doing good, solid, entertaining work while cultivating a happy home life is central to a career that looks far from slowing down with the upcoming release of Conti's two latest movies: Derailed with Jennifer Aniston and Clive Owen, and Elie Chouraqui's Beyond Friendship with Ian Holm." - Thanks, Steph The Times Union: Spike's World (Spike Lee) - Thanks, Kyle Jennifer Aniston will be interviewed on AMC TV on October 14 at 10:30 PM EDT - Movies 101 with Professor Richard Brown - (Might mention Derailed) West Cape - South Africa - Sin City opens - Thanks, Kyle The Journal Register, Illinois: Derailed”: "Clive Owen rules.

Come back to visit on October 2nd! I'll be here. Cinematical: "Management has been all over me this week because I haven't yet mentioned Clive Owen, so I'm lucky that the trailer for Derailed just showed up online. The film, which stars Owen and Jennifer Aniston as married (to other people) execs having an affair, will be the first theatrical release for the newly-formed Weinstein Company. Since Harvey and Bob seem to have pretty good judgement about these things, I'm hoping that my trailer-based optimism isn't totally misguided. Even crappy movies with Clive Owen are reliably intense, and this one looks to be no exception - he and Aniston's character are caught mid-tryst by a gunman, who seems to trade robbery for blackmail, leaving the pair in a totally unexpected situation. Hmm. So both moral agony and the threat of violent crime? That sounds promising, right? We'll all get to find out on November 11 when the film goes wide (the release was originally scheduled for October but has been pushed back).

people?! (The trailer was a real teaser and Clive looked as gorgeous
as ever.) Can Magazine.com: Derailed - "Besides the new poster, we have also received an updated synopsis for the film that is a touch bit different from the original. Not that we care exactly, as any film featuring Clive Owen could be shit in a can and we'd still at least give it a look." Alert! - From GeorgiaGirl at the Murphsplace Forum: "Entertainment Tonight just showed some teaser shots from Derailed. They kept saying, "Jennifer's movie" and I don't think they even mentioned Clive's name! Tomorrow (September 15) they promised the trailer. Fire up your VCRs.

This way, we can combine learning with gazing at Clive. Good work, casting people!" A different view on The Golden Age from Moviehole: "According to today's Variety, Cate Blanchett has dotted her i's and crossed her t's to reprise her role as Queen Elizabeth I in the "Elizabeth" follow-up, "The Golden Age", but the actress tells a different story in an interview with today's Herald Sun in Australia. Blanchett essentially says she's not interested in repeating herself, and that a sequel to "Elizabeth" isn't really necessary. "No, everyone keeps asking me that. I'm really good friends with Shekhar [Kapur] and he's forever saying he's going to do this movie or that movie and I think there was talk about it", she explains. "There's so much there if it were to happen, but my initial instinct is, why?". The trades stated today that the sequel would co-star Geoffrey Rush and Clive Owen, and start filming in April. Guess we'll wait and see though, right? Sounds like someone's going to have to wave a freshly-printed roll of Ben's in-front of Ms Blanchett." - Thanks, Steph Variety: "Geoffrey Rush and Clive Owen will star opposite Cate Blanchett in Working Title and Universal Pictures' The Golden Age, a sequel to 1998's Elizabeth. Variety says the film will be directed by Shekhar Kapur, who helmed the first movie."

The actor didn't give any specific information on his role except to describe the character as outrageous and to hint at the use of dreadlocks. That may provide some assistance for fans of P.D. James' futuristic novel, set in 2021, 26 years after the last human was born. The project will likely be Cuaron's first feature since "Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban." - Thanks, Steph Moviehole: Sin City II starts filming in January 2006. Apart from Brittany Murphy, Clive Owen and Rosario Dawson signed up and will resume their roles. - Thanks, Doro The Hollywood Reporter/Reuters News UK on the Bond situation: "...Compounding the challenge, several bigger stars have passed on the opportunity to play Bond. When Clive Owen, 41, was approached by Campbell, who directed him in "Beyond Borders," he told Campbell that he wasn't interested in the role, his spokesman said. "He already had so many interesting, varied offers on the table that he wanted to keep his options open," he said. Owen instead signed up for a string of films, including Spike Lee's "Inside Man," Alfonso Cuaron's "The Children of Men" and Michael Davis' "Shoot 'Em Up." In the meantime, Owen will send up Bond by playing Agent 006 in the upcoming remake of "The Pink Panther."

Now with their entire lives thrown terrifyingly off-course, Charles must figure out how to turn the tables and somehow save their families. From Kittie: The attached bit is small, but a little mention of Clive in the September issue of In Style magazine. Good news though is that he will have an article "man of style" in the October issue. mi6.co.uk: Clive Owen has long been a fan-favorite to portray James Bond #6, but according to German press, Bond just isn't "surprising" enough for Owen's taste. Owen had these remarks in an interview on August 9 with German magazine, "Woman" {translated): 'I think that Pierce Brosnan once said that I would be a good James Bond - and since I can`t seem to get rid of this topic, there`s no way I can forgive him for the recommendation. But seriously, I want to surprise myself with each new role just as much as I want to surprise the audience. To be pinned down to a popular series would therefore be deadly.'

Don Murphy, Susan Montford and Rick Benattar are producing. The story begins with a woman having a baby during a shootout.

Giamatti would play the villain who wants the baby dead, and Bellucci would be Owen's love interest. A January start date is being eyed. - Thanks, Steph The Man Room DVD Review of Sin City: "Good performances continually pour in with a raging flood’s veracity. Clive Owen improves his American accent to portray a man caught between doing the right thing and doing the smart thing. Forget his King Arthur portrayal – this is far more intense. Brittany Murphy is both slutty and courageous facing off against her ex-boyfriend and his gang. Benicio Del Toro does what he does best: talk low and creepy. Nick Stahl is near unrecognizable as twisted Yellow Bastard. He’s come a long way from his John Connor days. Jessica Alba fulfills every man’s dreams while hump thrusting and lassoing on stage but sadly her screen time is relatively limited. And even Bruce Willis puts in a solid performance as a conflicted, battered cop on the verge of death." Thanks, Steph Variety: Slump or Bump?

Miho [Devon Aoki] is in that one, and then there are a bunch of new characters. Although none of the original actors have signed on for a sequel, Rodriguez said he isn't worried. "They would come do it; it's only two days of their life. They'd be like, I can do that in a free weekend," he laughed, adding that scene-stealer Rourke's participation was a certainty.
