Even stars of Hollywood's biggest movies aren't immune to swine flu. Rupert Grint, who plays Ron Weasley in the Harry Potter films, was just recovering from swine flu when he sat down with his co-stars to discuss one of the most anticipated movies of 2009: Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince. "I'm fine now, you're safe," said Grint when asked how he was feeling at the film's press conference. Proving his sense of humor was still intact, Grint added, "Wait a minute, you better run! Run!"

Grint also shows off his comedic skills in this sixth Potter film. "I have to say, I think this is, for Ron, for my money, in terms of the comedy, this is Rupert's finest hour," said Daniel Radcliffe. "He’s absolutely brilliant in this movie. It kind of reveals himself to be a fantastic practitioner of physical comedy. You balance the dramatics off as well, obviously wonderfully, but the scene on the broomstick in Quidditch which is like something out of Buster Keaton or something. It’s absolutely brilliant, and I was belly-laughing, it was wonderful." Read More...

Variety reports there's a third Bridget Jones movie in the works. Working Title is just beginning to set to work on the project and haven't signed up either a writer or director. The production company is tentatively aiming for a late 2010 start to production.

According to Variety, Renee Zellweger will return as the irrepressible Brit with the complicated love life. Back in 2004 when Zellweger was promoting Bridget Jones #2, Bridget Jones: The Edge of Reason, she was asked if Bridget Jones is a character she can relate to. Her response: "It’s what I admire most about her is her ever-present optimism in the face of so much adversity. I love that she’s able to laugh at herself and get back up and keep on trying. Well, I do my best. I keep on trying anyway."

There's no confirmation yet on where the story will take Zellweger/Bridget Jones.

The battle between good and evil almost takes a backseat to the angst of young love in Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince, the sixth film of the Harry Potter series. These are dark times in the wizarding world, but for our young heroes it's also a time for flirting, a little romance, and some harmless snogging. Everyone knows the ultimate showdown between Harry Potter and Voldemort is fast approaching. The face-off between The Chosen One and The Dark Lord is no longer just something whispered about in dark corners or argued about over a butterbeer or two. Read More...

The long-awaited, much-anticipated sixth Harry Potter movie finally hits theaters this week. Online movie ticket sites are reporting brisk sales, with 2,000+ showings already sold out. At 12pm PST - a full 12 hours before the first midnight screenings - Fandango was reporting they were selling 8 Half-Blood Prince tickets per second. So if you notice a few more people than usual out sick from your work tomorrow, blame it on Potter fever. Also hitting theaters this week is a quirky romantic comedy (but don't call it a love story!) that's one of my favorite films of the year:
