Hailie Jade Mathers Scott is hip-hop royalty thanks to her famous father, Eminem. Now a 21-year-old student at Michigan State University, she’s known the world over as the spark behind some of the rapper’s best known songs—even performing guest vocals on a number of tracks. But while Em has been making headlines for nearly two decades, Hailie’s mother, Kim Scott, has mostly stayed out of the spotlight. In fact, the public perception of Scott has been largely shaped by Eminem’s less-than-complimentary lyrics, but her story is just as dramatic as one of Em’s verses.

Speaking for myself, I can't think of a more 'Hawksian' picture than To Have and Have Not.

Quentin Tarantino is possibly the most prolific writer/director working in film today. His first feature-length film, Reservoir Dogs, came out back in 1993, and yet the man still manages to surprise us with his hard-hitting dialogue, unconventional humor, and radical social and political commentary. This is a man who serves as a prime example of succeeding as a result of respecting one's elders, as he learns from those great filmmakers who came before him, while still managing to thread his own style through his intricately woven, homage-heavy film résumé.

While the rest of the world toned down its violence and opted for bigger box office, PG-13 sure-things, Tarantino stuck to his guns, consistently making movies for adults and constantly pushing the envelope as to what is allowed onscreen and how to go about displaying such graphic material. Tarantino doesn't give a damn what you think, and that's the reason why...

John Travolta was sporting a beard reminiscent of Brad Pitt's disastrous 2010 decorative facial hair as he filmed scenes for his latest movie Life on the Line.

Travolta plays an eccentric powerline technician called Beau whose dangerous high-wire job causes friction within his family life, before he and his fellow linemen are hit by the arrival of a massive storm.

He stars alongside Kate Bosworth and Final Destination star Devin Sawa.

The action drama is being directed by David Hackl and produced by Marro Films and Elite Film Productions, with Marro CEO Marvin Peart explaining: "The last film made in and around the lineman industry was in 1937, Slim the Lineman, and starred Henry Fonda.

"It's an honour and a career highlight to tell this modern-day story about these unsung heroes."

The 60-year-old actor was pictured on set sporting not one but two ponytails, in both his hair and impressively long black beard.

There are plenty of films about a variety of dangerous career paths. Firefighters, police officers, paramedics, that one where Ashton Kutcher is a Coast Guard, all branches of the military, construction crews, vigilante superheroes, lifeguards, pilots and conductors, detectives and inspectors, astronauts — they’ve all had their due. But one sector of selfless, high-impact human service has largely been ignored by the film industry: linemen. It doesn’t matter what kind, be it those who lay railroad tracks or those who install and repair electrical, telephone or telegraph wires. They’ve gotten the short end of the stick. With the last film to commemorate their work premiering in 1937 (Slim the Lineman, which starred Henry Fonda), it’s now up to John Travolta and a merry band of brethren that includes Kate Bosworth and Devon Sawa to right this wrongs with Life On The Line. The indie drama, directed by David Hackl (Grizzly) and written by the team...

The third night was the charm for a new crop of The Voice contestants, who covered Tom Petty, Mary J. Blige, Katy Perry - and even songs by judges Shakira and Blake Shelton Monday night. But there was also heartbreak: Julie Roberts, a gold-record selling country artist who hit fame in 2004 - only to be dropped by her label in 2010 - failed to turn the chairs of any judges in a comeback bid, even as she sang Shelton's "God Gave Me You." "She just kind of fell through the cracks in the business and it's not fair," Shelton said of...

According to reports, producers Roy Lee and Steven Schneider are developing a feature remake of the 1978 Warners feature "The Swarm", adapting the 1975 novel "The Swarm", by author Arthur Herzog.

The new film will be directed by Ash Bolland.

The original film, directed by Irwin Allen, focused on a swarm of 'killer bees' that invade a Texas town, starring Michael Caine, Slim Pickins, Olivia de Havilland, Richard Widmark and Henry Fonda.

Horror Producers Roy Lee and Steven Schneider are planning a remake of The Swarm , reports TheWrap . The original 1978 film was based on a 1975 novel of the same name by Arthur Herzog. Directed by Irwin Allen, the storyline involved a massive swarm of killer bees that invade a Texas town. Though it featured an impressive cast that included Michael Caine, Slim Pickins, Olivia de Havilland and Henry Fonda (among others), the original film was a critical and financial failure that soon found life primarily as a cult horror film. Ash Bolland, whose career so far has focused on commercials, is slated to direct, though no writer is currently attached. TheWrap notes that it is unclear whether the script will focus on the Allen film version or if it will return to the more critically...
