The Washington Post: Question
Celebrity: "...Be consistent. 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

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,

The
Guardian UK on 2006 films: "November - Ringside seats,
please, for a heavyweight contest between the Bond that is and the
Bond that might have been. 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,

From Cinematical: Sin
City: Recut, Extended, Unrated - Robert Rodriguez's cutthroat
adaptation of the ink-noir Frank Miller comic book/graphic novel.
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.

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."

Sin City has been nominated in the best

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." -

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

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

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
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."

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

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

interview with Clive and Aniston in the Chicago Tribune. "...It's

that level of stress, because otherwise it can get very boring. I

problem is in the casting of its two dependable leads who both bring
very specific qualities to the table -- a fundamental decency with

never achieves that pulpy, darkly driven passionate intensity required
to command an equally pounding punishment." -- Thanks, John

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

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

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

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,

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.

Monsters
and Critics: NEW YORK, NY, United States (UPI) -- British actor
Clive Owen says he is not upset that Daniel Craig will replace Pierce
Brosnan as James Bond instead of him. '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. 'I think Robert Rodriguez is a genius. It was
one of the most exciting, ground-breaking movies I`ve ever been a
part of.' - Thanks, Steph

Caine says the one who reminds him of himself is Clive
Owen. "It's his attitude on-screen," he says. "He's a serious

for stardom."

has unfolded like a Hollywood drama, but this fall we'll finally
see Jennifer Aniston act – as Clive Owen's lover in
the November thriller Derailed. Although filming finished
before her official split from husband Brad Pitt, Aniston, 36, was
an "all-around positive" presence on set, says studio chief Harvey
Weinstein. As for her offscreen chemistry with Owen, "They definitely
like each other," says Weinstein. "You can feel that in the movie." -

at Miller’s new material, Sin City 2 will also use a previously
published tale of Sin City: “We’ll lace in a couple of
stories he kept talking about with A Dame To Kill For, which is a
really cool book. 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. It’s really something worth going and doing; it
kind of completes the first movie that we did.” - Thanks, Steph

From Dominic, an old friend, re Clive's roles: "You have missed
a Binley Park production "Joseph and the Technicolor Dreamcoat" in
which Clive played Joseph (but as Elvis Presley). You can get a photo
from the Coventry Evening Telegraph from when Clive was 16. (Can
anyone find this and scan for us? Thanks) Also did you know Clive
was part of a creative network in Coventry back then hanging out
with Stan
Campbell (lead singer of the Specials aka) and I believe he shared
a house for a while with Paul
King from the band King and Presenter of MTV. Clive has been

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

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

may provide some assistance for fans of P.D. James' futuristic novel,

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

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.' Thanks

fatale named Ava. As for Sin City 3, there aren't many

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

Lies -- "...you can go anywhere in the world, at a moment's
notice - In last year's Beyond Borders,
Angelina Jolie travels to third world countries rife with disease
and civil war to visit soulmate Clive Owen. Let's ignore the fact
that she wears white and have a look at her travel precautions
- zilch! In the midst of plagues and war, she doesn't wear a mask,
gloves, or even wash her hands, and doesn't bother with any special
clearance for danger zones. Fortunately, Angelina is spared a lingering
death from a fatal disease or a machine gun - she gets blown up
by a landmine instead. Believe me, you'll thank me for spoiling
the movie."

MTV.com:
Sin City 2? (Scroll) -- "...The second film, currently
being written by Rodriguez and Miller, will largely focus on
another popular installment of the series. " 'A Dame to Kill
For' will probably be the basis of the second one," Rodriguez
stated. "Marv [Mickey Rourke] comes back, because this is before
he died; Dwight [Clive Owen] is in that one, Gail
[Rosario Dawson] is in that one, both Goldie and Wendy [Jaime
King, twice] together, she's still alive. 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. "He'd want to come do it. He had fun. "
Really nice words for this site from
Brit music star Saber: "Premier
Clive Owen site - This is one of Saber's favourite websites and
he is not ashamed to admit it. Saber has been a massive fan of Clive
Owen since 'Chancer' and regards accidentally stumbling upon this
site as a revelation! Just as Clive (as well as Saber) is a massive
Bowie fan, here's hoping that maybe one day, the newly crowned A-Lister
will also become a Saber fan!" - Thanks, Mackin at the
