A Much Closer Look: A-List Actors and Box Office Performance

After the box office success of 300, Warner Bros. has realized how much money they can save on their big-budget tentpoles by not paying A-listers (or anyone close to an A-lister), and they’ve consequently chosen to exercise that option with Watchmen.

Gerard Butler Sounds Off About Nim’s Island… and a Possible 300 Sequel!

For the past year, Gerard Butler has become somewhat of a household name. And let’s face it, he deserves it. We can all agree that he kicked all kinds of ass in 300, but there’s a deeper side to this guy than just running around yelling, “This is Sparta!”
