Rosario Dawson loved comedy in Zookeeper

Rosario Dawson has revealed that she particularly enjoyed the physical comedy aspect in Zookeeper.


The Sin City star stated that she found her latest film to be a nice change of pace after taking on a variety of serious roles.


"The physical comedy stuff was actually the best stuff for me," Dawson said in an interview with Hollywood News. "I'm a pretty goofy person who can be very demonstrative, so that was great for me to not have to sell every emotion with just a look, being super subtle and burying the context in one line."


Dawson continued: "It was about whole scenes, having that much fun where you can really disappear into a moment and have a great time. It was just fantastic to have that many moments in one film."

Rebecca Gibney lands dream role in Mental



Rebecca Gibney has revealed her excitement at landing a "dream" movie role.

The Australian actress, who is best known for playing Julie in family television drama Packed to the Rafters, has been cast alongside Toni Collette in PJ Hogan's new gritty film Mental.

Gibney told The Daily Telegraph: "I'm 46 and it's my first big film. It's dreamy... it's a dream come true. I've had a few small roles but just little bits and pieces and this is a larger role and to work alongside Toni Collette... it's great. I'm really excited."

She also revealed that it has been "fun" having to put on 12kg to play an exhausted mother-of-five in the movie, saying: "It was great. It's like being pregnant. You can eat whatever you want. In the beginning it was like, `Wow, ice cream, peanut butter, everything', you know."

However, Gibney added that she is "not going to worry about" losing the weight straight away afterwards, as "Julie Rafter is an "older mum" and she doesn't "think there will be anything wrong with carrying a bit of extra weight".

The star has previously admitted that she sometimes suffers from body image issues, saying: "When I despair about my stomach, my husband reminds me that it carried our incredibly beautiful son. I still look in the mirror and wonder where that extra roll, the cellulite and wrinkles came from."

Filming on Mental is scheduled to start in two weeks' time and will hopefully wrap three weeks before Gibney resumes filming Packed to the Rafters in October.

Gibney was nominated for two Logie Awards earlier this year. Although she missed out on the prestigious Gold Logie award, she was named 'Most Popular Actress' for her Packed to the Rafters role.

Watson plotting Potter cast reunion

Emma Watson has said she is already "scheming" to find a way to work with Harry Potter co-stars Daniel Radcliffe and Rupert Grint again.

The stars of the hit film series have grown up together, working on the films over the last 10 years, but at the final world premiere in London's Trafalgar Square an emotional Emma revealed they are already looking to the future.

She said: "They are like my brothers. I really hope we'll find a way to work together again. We're already scheming so..."

JK Rowling who wrote the best-selling books which created the magical world, previously said this was the end of the series.

But after being moved by the thousands of fans who had travelled from all over the world for the premiere, she joked she might write another instalment.

Rowling teased: "Well if Dan phones me and begs in ten years I'll bang out a script for him! But I'm not thinking that's going to happen..."

One of the film's new stars, Arthur Bowen, who plays Harry Potter's son at the end of the film, held out some hope a new generation might keep the stories going.

He said: "We'll have to ask JK Rowling to write another book. She's going to be here tonight isn't she? We can ask her."

Tears as Potter curtain comes down

Daniel Radcliffe has told Harry Potter fans the films would be with them "for the rest of their lives".

Thousands of people flooded into central London to say an emotional goodbye to the hugely popular series at the world premiere of Harry Potter And The Deathly Hallows Part Two.

Stars including Emma Watson and Rupert Grint spent hours on the red carpet, which stretched from Trafalgar Square to Leicester Square, signing autographs for fans. The night ended with author JK Rowling joining the cast and crew on a stage in the square where they addressed fans.

Emma, who wiped away tears, thanked her co-star Rupert for making her laugh while he admitted making the films had been "the best part of my life".

Rowling was also tearful thanking the actors for "the amazing things they did for my favourite characters". Turning to the fans, she said: "Thank you for queuing up for the books for all those years, for camping out in a wet Trafalgar Square."

She then pleaded with the fans, who were chanting 'Thank You' back to her, to stop, saying "No, no, I'm already crying."

Daniel Radcliffe got one of the night's biggest cheers when he told fans: "Each and every person, not just here in this square but around the world who have watched these films for the last 10 years, they will always carry the films with them for the rest of their lives".

Fans had been arriving in London all week for the premiere with many of them camping in the square for days, often dressed as characters from the hit films.

Other cast members who walked up the red carpet included Robbie Coltrane, who plays Rubeus Hagrid, Tom Felton who plays Draco Malfoy and Julie Walters who plays Molly Weasley.
