Directors including Martin Scorsese and Dennis Hopper are to feature in an upcoming documentary about legendary cinematographers Laszlo Kovacs and Vilmos Zsigmond.

Dennis Hopper is joining forces with Quentin Tarantino after signing up to star in motorcycle film "Hell Ride." The 71-year-old, who shot to fame in 1969 as the director and star of motorcycle road movie Easy Rider, will join Michael Madsen, Larry Bishop and Eric Balfour in the film.

Sexy Latina Eva Mendes was in for a real treat on the set of her new movie Ghost Rider when co-star Peter Fonda insisted on talking her through his cult classic Easy Rider. Rather than be offended by the fact the actress had never seen the 1969 movie - for which he won a Best Original Screenplay Oscar - Fonda arranged a private on-set screening for the star.

Nicolas Cage's first choice to play evil Mephistopheles in new comic book movie adaptation Ghost Rider was gravel-voiced crooner Tom Waits. The movie star had his heart set on the Downtown Train singer joining him in the new blockbuster, in which he plays a half-man half-skeleton fireball biker hero, until producers suggested his hero Peter Fonda for the part.
