Movie Reviews and Previews Lenny in The Butler and Minka & Chris’s staggered exit They’re pushing The Butler as an award contender possibility, opening strategically at the same time of year as The Help and hoping for a solid box office to carry it through fall and the long season. My colleague Traci Melchor was just at the junket last weekend. She loved By Lainey • Aug 06, 2013 03:01 pm
Movie Reviews and Previews Chris Evans is going to direct I know right? That was my reaction, too. Having a slash is important these days—being just an actor isn’t enough anymore—and Chris Evans has decided to tack “slash-director” onto his resume with a movie called 1:30 Train. It’s about a couple that meets in New By Sarah • Aug 02, 2013 10:19 am
Movie Reviews and Previews Snowpiercer is not what you expect When I wrote about the first Snowpiercer trailer (there is now a second one that is only slightly more illuminating), I mentioned that The Weinstein Company bought it, and that if it caught Harvey Weinstein’s eye, it had to be more than just the action movie the trailer was By Sarah • Jul 30, 2013 12:44 pm
Thinnification The thinnification of Chris Evans When I first started writing for LaineyGossip back in 2010 (oh my God—it’s been three years?!) I had a big Freebie Five crush on Chris Evans and Lainey gave me sh*t all the time. But then he got super jacked for Captain America and I wasn’t By Sarah • Jul 03, 2013 11:15 am
Movie Reviews and Previews Captain America gets it From the Black Widow no less. Captain America: The Winter Soldier is filming in Cleveland and they’re getting busted kind of a lot. It’s a good early predictor for how big a movie will be—what level is the set stalking at? There’s been a steady diet By Sarah • Jun 13, 2013 01:00 pm
Movie Reviews and Previews Black Widow, Falcon, and oh yeah, Captain America Chris Evans is not on my Five List. So while he may have the title of the movie, he doesn’t get the title of my post. Not when Scarlett Johansson and Anthony Mackie are around. Here they are shooting Captain America: The Winter Soldier in Washington, DC yesterday. Why By Lainey • May 15, 2013 01:09 pm
Movie Reviews and Previews Crushing on Chris again Lainey used to give me sh*t all the time for liking Chris Evans, but over the last few years, he wore down my affection a bit. After taking a break, though, I’m coming back around to him. It helps that he’s not talking about rainbows and rivers By Sarah • May 09, 2013 10:22 am
Movie Reviews and Previews Captain America is blonde again Sarah from Cinesnark went to some nerd convention this weekend and in response to my post yesterday -- click here for a refresher -- about Chris Evans's dark hair, told me that the hair colour was indeed an issue for some of the comic dorks. Apparently two of By Lainey • Apr 30, 2013 11:38 am
Minka Kelly Minka Kelly and Chris Evans hold hands identically Minka Kelly and Chris Evans were photographed hand in hand leaving Bootsy Bellows in LA on Saturday night. They were photographed leaving Bootsy Bellows in exactly the same way back in January -- click here for a refresher. The difference this time? Minka is blonde now. And Chris is clearly By Lainey • Apr 29, 2013 11:22 am
As IF Oscar As IF: Chris Evans Chris Evans took his ma to the Oscars. To remind himself that it’s a big deal: "She's so excited. It's nice to remember how exciting and fun this stuff can be. Being with her brings all that back." (Source) I’m sorry? So By Lainey • Feb 25, 2013 05:10 pm
Hook Ups Minka & Chris are official They've been official for a few months now, of course, but holding hands while *knowingly* papped is a new stage in a celebrity relationship. This means that they know that we know that they're together and that they're no longer interested in hiding it, By Lainey • Jan 15, 2013 11:51 am
Movie Reviews and Previews Casting Cap’s Lady There are three roles being cast by Marvel right now that are attracting a lot of attention. Two of them, Ant Man and the as yet unnamed “American Pilot” in Guardians of the Galaxy, we’re still a year or two away from hearing about. But the role of Captain By Sarah • Oct 03, 2012 10:06 am
Media Manipulation Deep Thoughts on Chris Evans I have always liked Chris Evans. In my early days writing for LaineyGossip, I took a lot of sh*t from Lainey for liking him, but I think maybe she’s starting to come around. He’s a low-key guy, good looking but not obnoxious about it, and thanks to By Sarah • Sep 13, 2012 03:55 pm
Media Manipulation Jake Gyllenhaal could take a cue from Chris Evans That is a truly bizarre sentence to write. The last time Jake G had a movie in theaters was nearly eighteen months ago, last spring’s Source Code. Since then, he’s kept a relatively low profile as he recalibrates after his Movie Star dreams died a slow, inexorable death By Sarah • Aug 16, 2012 01:23 pm
Chris Evans Captain America is on Twitter Chris Evans isn’t papped very often. Enjoy these then while I work on a longer post that will cover this in a few minutes. They were taken yesterday Studio City. Apparently he was running into a dermatology clinic. But did you know he’s on Twitter? I just learned By Lainey • Jul 24, 2012 10:13 am
Movie Reviews and Previews Captain America 2 might be funny? I worried for Captain America, a lot. Of all of Marvel’s pre-Avengers movies, that’s the one I had the most concern about. The challenge with Cap is that Steve Rogers is the boringest superhero ever. It’s like Lainey says about Game of Thrones all the time—there’ By Sarah • Jun 07, 2012 01:57 pm
