Ben Foster plants a kiss on co-star Woody Harrelson’s cheek at the premiere of The Messenger in New York City on Sunday (November 8).

The film, opening November 13, is about two soldiers whose job it is to notify families of soldiers who lose their lives in Iraq. Ben, 29, plays a soldier who falls for a widow, played by Samantha Morton.

Speaking to the LA Times, Ben had nothing but nice things to say about Woody: “When you go through something and you’re taking an emotional leap with someone else, you’re either going to connect or not,” he said.

“It just so happens that he’s a remarkable human being. I’ve never cried or laughed in someone’s arms so much as Woody Harrelson’s.”

JJ: Who are some of your favorite designers?

ZK: Alexander Wang, he’s amazing. Chanel, I love Chanel. I don’t know. I’m kind of a vintage-y girl. I kind of just like what I like. I shop at flea markets.

JJ: Who are you style icons?

ZK: Carrie Bradshaw. Sex and the City. Jimi Hendrix.

UPDATE :: Congratulations, Rikki!  Your DVD will be sent out soon!  For everyone else who may be interested in watching/renting, know that the movie is more than effective at invoking discomfort and horror–not just because of its setup and story, but also because you wonder how the very young boys who portray the main character were got through their scenes without some damage. It depicts horrific events with semi music video-esque visuals and if you can get past the child-rape and crack-smoking, you might actually enjoy The Heart is Deceitful Above All Things.

Hugh Jackman, who reprises his role as Logan/Wolverine in the upcoming sequel X-Men: The Last Stand, has said that a second draft of the proposed Wolverine prequel movie has already been completed. Jackman would star in and co-produce the film, which would likely receive a quick green light from 20th Century Fox if The Last Stand proves successful.  "It’s probably going to be a prequel to the movies that exist, and I’ve just seen—not just, but about three months ago I saw—the second draft that David Benioff [Troy] has done. You probably know David. He’s a huge fan of the franchise and probably one of the hottest writers in town, and so the lucky thing that I have is him as a partner on this and, for me playing Wolverine, that [they're the] A lists of the A lists, and there are a number of them that are passionate and want to work on it.  So I think and they think that there is enough in this character to substantiate not just an appendage to the movie that exists, but an entity on its own. I don’t want to make Wolverine be a kind of disguise for X-Men 4. I want to make it stylistically and character-wise as different as we can and show some new stuff. I play him, and I would [be expected to] say this, but I think that he is one of the most interesting characters in terms of action heroes and comic-book heroes around." 

X-Men: The Last Stand opens in theaters next week, May 26. Wolverine movie production would likely begin sometime next year.  More pictures in the gallery!
