Moviemaker Katie Aselton almost killed leading lady Lake Bell on the set of new thriller Black Rock because the freezing temperatures the It'S Complicated star had to endure for a chilly lake scene set off her asthma.

Aselton, who also co-stars with Bell and Kate Bosworth in the film, admits she planned the shoot for June, so the cast could benefit from the summer sun - but most days were overcast, misty and very cold.

And the actress suffered more than most as she tried to brave the low temperatures.

Aselton tells WENN, "It was supposed to be sunny and it would rain, the fog was so inte...

Meryl Streep feared her career was over when she turned 40 because she was convinced directors had no use for women past "childbearing age."

The icon won critical acclaim early in her career with starring roles in "Out of Africa," "Sophie's Choice," and "A Cry in the Dark" but Streep confesses she entered the 1990s concerned that film projects would be few and far between.

She tells the new issue of Vogue magazine, "I remember turning to my husband and saying, 'Well, what should we do? Because it's over.'"

Streep's fears were momentarily realized when she received three consecutive scrip...

Movie bosses behind the upcoming Scream sequel are scrambling to find a last-minute replacement for Lake Bell after the actress dropped out just days before filming was due to begin.

The It's Complicated star was due to play a police officer in the upcoming fourth installment of Wes Craven's horror series, which sees Neve Campbell, David Arquette and Courteney Cox reprise their roles, alongside new talent including Emma Roberts and Hayden Panettiere. Bell has now been forced to quit her role due to scheduling conflicts and producers are desperately searching for a new actress to take over...

Filmmaker Nancy Meyers has directed, written, and produced some of Hollywood’s biggest blockbusters. Not only has Meyers been able to be successful in a male-dominated industry, but she has simultaneously changed the face of movies by writing films which feature strong female roles.

Her first big-screen success alone challenged film conventions. Meyers co-wrote and co-produced the 1980 comedy Private Benjamin; she recently told the New York Times that “everybody turned that movie down. Everybody. More than once.” It was abnormal to have a film not only starring a strong woman, but also wi...

Alec Baldwin refused to bare his bottom for a nude scene in new movie "It's Complicated" and insisted on hiring a butt double to stand in for him.

The "30 Rock" star plays Meryl Streep's love interest in the comedy and strips off for one scene in which he tries to seduce Streep's character.

But director Nancy Meyers reveals the butt in the film isn't really Baldwin's - because he didn't want to shed his pants.

Meyers tells USA Today, "He said, 'Mine's beautiful. However, I don't want to do that.'"

Directed by Carl Reiner, and released on December 14, 1979 "The Jerk" tells the "rags to riches…to rags" story of Navin R. Johnson, an imbecilic, white boy, raised by a family of poor, black sharecroppers, who decides to take his Candide-like optimism and head to the big city to find his place in the world. The film kicks off with a homeless Navin, who says, "I am not a bum. I'm a jerk. I once had wealth, power, and the love of a beautiful woman. Now, I only have two things: my friends and my thermos." Navin then goes on to recount the particulars of his personal story. He begins with the a...

The producers of Meryl Streep's new movie It's Complicated, which brings Oscars co-hosts Steve Martin and Alec Baldwin together as love rivals, are to appeal an `R' rating classification in America.

Officials at the MPAA's Classification and Rating Administration have ruled film fans under the age of 17 won't be able to see the movie without a consenting adult because of "some drug content and sexuality".

But producers feel the picture has been dealt with too harshly and the R could affect any Oscar hopes - and they're seeking a softer rating by appeal.
