April 22, 2009 at 12:05 am We're giving you a look at a just-released photo of the wolf pack in 'New Moon'! USA Today first posted the photo on their web site, along with an article that went into detail on the casting of the wolf pack.

Vanessa Hudgens' 'Beastly' Costar Revealed? April 21, 2009 at 6:20 pm ET confirms that a British actor may be joining Vanessa Hudgens as her male lead in the new film 'Beastly.' Nineteen-year-old actor and former child model Alex Pettyfer is in talks to join the cast. Set in Manhattan, the movie tells the story of a handsome rich kid with a mean streak. When he ditches a date, a curse is placed upon him, turning him into everything he hates. The grotesque transformation leaves him with the seemingly impossible task of finding true love to break the ugly spell. Ron Howard: 'Angels & Demons' Not Anti-Catholic April 21, 2009 at 2:47 pm Oscar-winning director Ron Howard responds to criticism that his highly anticipated film 'Angels & Demons' unfairly portrays the Roman Catholic Church.   In an article for The Huffington Post, Howard writes that William Donohue of the Catholic League is on a mission "to paint me and the movie I directed, 'Angels & Demons,' as anti-Catholic." Howard says Donohue is selling a booklet, in which he asserts that the director and others involved in the movie "do not hide their animus against all things Catholic." "Let me be clear: neither I nor 'Angels & Demons' are anti-Catholic. And let me be a little controversial: I believe Catholics, including most in the hierarchy of  the Church, will enjoy the movie for what it is: an exciting mystery, set in the awe-inspiring beauty of Rome."
