Jock Smut Taylor Kitsch: True Detective, Bad Company? Taylor Kitsch was in Brazil for the World Cup. On Friday it was widely reported that he and Colin Farrell are being considered for the second season of True Detective. It’d be a great career move for both – particularly Kitsch who did well on HBO’s The Normal Heart By Lainey • Jul 14, 2014 11:16 am
Maple Leaf Taylor Kitsch in the hockey box Taylor Kitsch was in Dallas last night to watch the Stars even up their playoff series against the Anaheim Ducks who were playing without Ryan Getzlaf. Kitsch is Canadian. He’s obviously a hockey fan. Why Dallas? My presumption: Friday Night Lights. Filmed in Austin. And he has a home By Lainey • Apr 24, 2014 04:36 pm
Movie Reviews and Previews Channing Tatum wants to be the dumbest superhero I have, somewhat reluctantly, conceded to liking Channing Tatum. I didn’t want to, because I remain unconvinced that he isn’t some kind of real-life Encino Man, but he’s just so nice and uncomplicated and he’s been so smart with his career over the years that I By Sarah • Apr 16, 2014 03:36 pm
Friday Night Lights FNL Holidays There were a lot of you who mainlined Friday Night Lights over the holidays, especially now that it’s available on Netflix, even in Canada! That was practically the first topic of discussion I had yesterday with Ben Mulroney who just started it before the New Year and, obviously, loves By Lainey • Jan 07, 2014 01:31 pm
Maple Leaf Riggins and his hockey stick Taylor Kitsch was photographed in New York yesterday with a hockey stick which is normally what Canadians are associated with, and not crack and prostitutes. I feel like Riggs is letting us down. It’s seems like it’s been a quiet year for Kitsch even though he’s been By Lainey • Nov 07, 2013 11:26 am
Maple Leaf Tim Riggins at TIFF Sorry I forgot to write about this yesterday. How could I forget to write about Tim Riggins?!? The TIFF flu, that’s how. Here are some photos of Taylor Kitsch at the festival over the last few days. Sunday night were at the after-party for The Grand Seduction. Brendan Gleeson By Lainey • Sep 10, 2013 12:02 pm
Maple Leaf Taylor Kitsch: a year later It’s been a year since, well, since Taylor Kitsch’s attempt to become a big blockbuster movie star went bust. Texas Forever and Riggins for life, but there’s no other way to say it. So what do you do? Hockey analogy seems to apply here -- we take By Lainey • Jun 12, 2013 10:39 am
Taylor Kitsch Charlie Hunnam > Taylor Kitsch? This is not fair, I know, but we’ll come to that in a minute... Are you tired of all the new trailers? A new trailer is dropping every day. It’s holiday bombardment and some of you have written to complain about the inundation. Me? I have no trailer By Lainey • Dec 14, 2012 12:59 pm
Movie Reviews and Previews Where’s Aaron? Aaron Taylor-Johnson (that’s the first time I’ve called him that and it feels so good) has been missing from the Savages red carpets. He was a no-show in LA and he wasn’t around for the one in NY last night either. The easy answer is because of By Lainey • Jun 28, 2012 10:17 am
Quiveration Can we PLEASE get a trailer for this? Over the last 3 weeks or so, most of the expected Oscar contending features have been rolling out their first trailers...but for Anna Karenina. Joe Wright, can you PLEASE get on this??? This is another film Duana and I will be seeing together, holding hands. Right after Les Miserables. By Lainey • Jun 13, 2012 12:03 pm
Maple Leaf Is this your Finnick? E! News reported the other day that Taylor Kitsch, Garrett Hedlund, and Armie Hammer were on the short list to play Finnick in Catching Fire, the sequel to The Hunger Games. Multiple sources tell me that Armie Hammer is far and away the first choice of director Francis Lawrence. That By Lainey • Jun 01, 2012 12:56 pm
Maple Leaf Battleship vs The Avengers Week 3 Taylor Kitsch was in New York this week for a last push to promote Battleship. After this he pretty much goes right into press for Savages. Battleship opens on Friday. Can it challenge The Avengers? The Avengers made over $100 million on its SECOND weekend. That’s crazy. I’m By Lainey • May 17, 2012 04:44 pm
Maple Leaf Taylor Kitsch buzzed You like it? I don’t like it. Especially since his hair looked so good two weeks ago at CinemaCon - click here for a refresher. Here’s Taylor Kitsch, freshly buzzed, at the LA premiere of Battleship last night. Also attached - Alexander Skarsgard, Liam Neeson, and Brooklyn Decker By Lainey • May 11, 2012 11:12 am

Maple Leaf Battleship: Big, dumb, loud…successful? It’s crept up on me slowly, but for the last six weeks or so, I’ve thought that Battleship, the movie based on a boardgame, would surprise people. Sure, it looks big and dumb and loud and it reminds me of Transformers in less-than-flattering ways, but it kind of By Sarah • Apr 13, 2012 10:27 am
Salma Hayek Taylor will be OK. Blake might be better As mentioned several times already, after screening Oliver Stone’s Savages a couple of months ago, Universal was so jacked by its potential that it moved its release date up from September to July, right in the middle of box office season. My sources told me during Oscar week that By Lainey • Apr 05, 2012 02:38 pm
