    Check out the trailer for Paranoia, a new movie starring Harrison Ford, Gary Oldman, and Liam Hemsworth.

    Synopsis:

The two most powerful tech billionaires in the world (Harrison Ford and Gary Oldman) are bitter rivals with a complicated past who will stop at nothing to destroy each other. A young superstar (Liam Hemsworth), seduced by unlimited wealth and power falls between them, and becomes trapped in the middle of the twists and turns of their life-and-death game of corporate espionage. By the time he realizes his life is in danger, he is in far too deep and knows far too much for them to let him walk away.

    Harrison Ford Talks ‘Ender’s Game’ at CinemaCon

    Harrison Ford did a brief Q&A session with reporters at CinemaCon last week and talked a bit about Ender’s Game. See the video below.

    Ford admitted he hadn’t read the book before he got the script, but it sounds as though he may have picked it up since wrapping the production.

    Were you always a big fan of Ender’s Game?

    No, I didn’t know the book before I read the script, so I really came to the project through the script.

    Is it easier to approach a project through a book?

    Sometimes it’s more difficult because books are books and movies are movies and they’re not always the same, the same craftsman is not always involved. I think it’s a very interesting book and the film, I think, is going to be great.

    What was it about the script that you really liked? What about the Ender’s Game script stood out for you?

    I just thought it was something we have not seen. I thought the story was prescient about some of the things we’re seeing in our lives right now and it was written 20 years ago, I guess. I thought it had a interesting moral question behind it, which is articulated in the film and I thought it would really be a good summer movie on top of that.

    How was it working with such a young cast?

    I’ve worked with young people before. I have had children of my own. I’m familiar with shorter people.

    CinemaCon

    CinemaCon is in full swing in Las Vegas and Variety spoke to the various actors receiving special recognition at the convention going on this week in Las Vegas, Nevada. Among those they interviewed are three Ender’s Game cast members.

    Harrison Ford, who is receiving a Lifetime Achievement Award, was quick to point out that Ender’s Game is different from Blade Runner.

    “It’s just a whole different canvas — no replicants — and character and world view.”

    Asa Butterfield, who will be given the Rising Star Award, gave high praise to the script, which he read while studying hard in school.

    “It was the best script I’d read, and I thought how much fun it would be to be in zero gravity with laser guns.”

    And last but not least, Hailee Steinfeld, who will be recognized as the Female Star of Tomorrow, talked about the fun of hanging with a cast of mostly boys her age.

    “At that point I’d wanted to work with kids my age, and was looking forward to it,” she recalls. “The catch is that they were all boys, so it was 3½ months with a bunch of guys, which is not a bad thing.”

    Lionsgate’s product presentation is on Thursday, but still no word on whether anything new from Ender’s Game will be released.

  • Harrison Ford Calls ‘Ender’s Game’ a “Very Ambitious Movie”

    Harrison Ford Calls ‘Ender’s Game’ a “Very Ambitious Movie”

    Harrison Ford sat down recently to talk with ET Online at a press junket for his movie ’42’ (which is out April 12) about his multitude of upcoming projects, calling his brief experience on the set of Anchorman 2 “bi-zarre” and hilariously referring to Christina Applegate as “Applesauce girl”. He talked very briefly about Ender’s Game:

    Ender’s Game is coming up, you’re sort of returning to the sci-fi genre. How was that experience?

    Very interesting. It’s a very ambitious movie and I was very interested in the opportunity to be part of it. The character I play is interesting to me. I haven’t seen anything much. I think it could be great.

    The best part of the video comes when he’s asked about Star Wars VII. Ford pulls a zipper across his mouth and proceeds to finish the interview as though his lips are totally sealed. Last year, Ford filmed ’42’ right after wrapping Ender’s Game.

    Last Sunday, Harrison Ford was in San Jose to attend Cinequest, where the festival awarded him with a Maverick Spirit Award. Ford reportedly surprised some fans in a parking garage by agreeing to give everyone lined up one autograph each.

    Below are a few photos of the event, courtesy of Cinequest’s Facebook page.

    The festival has been added to the Events calendar.

  • Video: Who the Hell is Harrison Ford?

    Video: Who the Hell is Harrison Ford?

    TMZ caught actor Moises Arias (Bonzo) in a parking lot and presumably asked him about what he thought when he found out he’d be acting in a movie with movie legend Harrison Ford and the answer they got wasn’t exactly what they expected.

    “I don’t think I knew Harrison Ford.”

    It’s always possible they asked him if he knew him personally before the film, not if he knew who he was, but the video in general is rather amusing. Despite TMZ’s shock at the fact that kids today don’t know him or don’t seem to care, my guess is that’s totally okay with Harrison Ford, who reportedly despises the diehard Star Wars fans that hound him. And really, who wouldn’t?

    Harrison FordIt’s tough to follow a celebrity such as Harrison Ford that doesn’t have Twitter, but The Telegraph in Macon, GA reports that Ford arrived in town yesterday to begin filming his next movie ’42’, a Jackie Robinson biopic set in the 1940s.

    With many of the young cast members tweeting that they’d wrapped Ender’s Game, it sounds like Graff is all done as well. Jimmy Pinchak (Peter Wiggin) is doing his last day of filming today, as he tweeted that he’ll be leaving New Orleans on Saturday.

    On a side note, gans of Ford living in Macon that are interested in being a paid extra can still sign up for filming happening next week.

    CL Casting will be casting for paid extras for filming scheduled for June 11-12. If interested in applying, e-mail three head and body pictures, plus age, height, weight and contact information to CLCastingMacon@gmail.com.
