Fran Kranz, One Of The Stars Of "The Cabin In The Woods"

There are horror movie cliches — "honored conventions," if you like — that every horror fan knows and embraces.

"All hell is breaking loose, people are dying and for some reason, a girl has to take her shirt off," says Fran Kranz, one of the stars of "The Cabin in the Woods." "Love that. One of my all-time favorite cliches."

"My favorite is how people want to split up," says Kristen Connolly, Kranz's "Cabin" co-star. "Why? Are you kidding me? All these terrible things are happening, and somebody says, 'OK, let's split up.' It happens in every single movie. You yell at the screen, 'No, nooo.' But it doesn't help. They don't hear you."

Make that "We don't hear you." Connolly and Kranz are the very people you'll be yelling at in "The Cabin in the Woods," opening Friday (the 13th). It's a horror comedy that toys with those conventions. Writer Joss Whedon (TV's "Dollhouse" and "Buffy the Vampire Slayer") and director Drew Goddard (he wrote "Cloverfield") wanted to send up horror movies and "change the direction" of horror, away from the "torture porn" so popular in recent years, Whedon has said.

So they rounded up five college kids — a collection of stock horror movie "types" — and packed them off to a cousin's cabin. In the woods. And once they're on their way, we see just who is engineering their trip and making sure the characters make exactly the mistakes we expect them to.

Kranz plays Marty, "the stoner." And with his mop top and sometimes cracking voice, you can be forgiven for having childhood TV cartoon flashbacks.

"I didn't think about Marty as a new Shaggy. Not when I got the part, not when we were shooting it. But now? How could I miss it? It hit me, and I was like, 'Why, why, why didn't I pay more attention to Shaggy when I was a kid, watching 'Scooby-Doo?'"

That makes Connolly — as Dana, the innocent "smart" girl — a new Velma? Maybe.

"There's always some smart girl who weighs 90 pounds who says, 'I will go down into that dark cellar by myself. Me and me alone!'" Connolly says. "Girl, don't do it. Bad decision-making is the rule in these movies. But Dana (her character) doesn't make many."

There's also a jock, a hot blonde and, for good measure, a hunky, sensitive guy.

"I based Marty on the stoners I've known in my life — especially an ex-girlfriend," Kranz says, laughing. "A lot of inspiration from her. And on James Franco in 'Pineapple Express,' Brad Pitt in 'True Romance.' And remember Corey Feldman in 'The 'Burbs?' He's got all these conspiracy theories," and Marty is the guy who starts wondering, in his pot paranoia, just who is pulling the strings in this cabin."

The earliest notices for "Cabin" have been breathless raves, like Variety's — "Not since 'Scream' has a horror movie subverted the expectations that accompany the genre to such wicked effect."

But the movie's been sitting on a shelf, largely due to its original studio's financial difficulties. Cast and crew have had three years to wonder when this thing would come out.

"It's very frustrating," Connolly says. One of the stars, Chris Hemsworth, broke through as "Thor" in the years "The Cabin in the Woods" sat in limbo. The rest are waiting for their big break to break big.

"You want your family to see this thing you put so much blood, sweat and tears into," Connolly says. "I mean literal blood. Sweat. And tears."

Kranz is just as frustrated, but he's tried to keep it all in perspective. "'Cabin in the Woods' could be the last movie I make and I'd be happy. I'm that proud of it."

Not that it will be his final film. Kranz has a major role in Whedon's version of "Much Ado About Nothing." And Connolly is a lead in Barry Levinson's new viral outbreak thriller "The Bay," due out this summer.

And now that "Cabin in the Woods" finally is reaching theaters, the phone might be ringing even more.

Will Kate Winslet's Comments Upset Celine Dion?

Kate Winslet feels "like throwing up" when she hears 'My Heart will Go On'.The love theme from Kate's most successful film, 'Titanic' - sung by Celine Dion - was a huge hit around the world, but the actress admits she has to hide her real feelings every time she hears it.She told MTV News: "I feel like throwing up when I hear it. No, I shouldn't say that. No, actually, I do feel like throwing up."

"I wish I could say, 'Oh listen, everybody! It's the Celine Dion song!' But I don't. I just have to sit there, you know, kind of straight-faced with a massive internal eye roll."Kate's comments are sure to upset Celine, who has previously said she is very close to the song.She said: "My Heart Will Go On is for me a classic. And to be part of a classic is something I feel very proud of."

'Titanic' has just been re-released in 3-D, and Kate appeared at the film's premiere at London's Royal Albert Hall earlier this week, but admits she would not be staying to see the film's intimate scene between her and Leonardo DiCaprio's character.Asked how she would feel seeing herself nude on the big screen, she responded: "Terrible, wouldn't you? I'm not going to look, I'll be in the bar by that point."

"No, I shouldn't say that," Winslet added, thinking through her response before coming to this conclusion: "No, actually, I do feel like throwing up."

Since its release in 1997, the film has stuck with Winslet wherever she goes. It was the movie that helped her sky-rocket to the A-list, after all, and no one is likely to forget Dion's iconic song from "Titanic," set to be re-released in 3-D on April 4. Kate Winslet considers her role in “Titanic” a bit of a shipwreck.

As the 1997 Oscar-winning Best Picture embarks on a 3D voyage to theaters, Winslet remains critical of her performance in the epic romance that set sail her career in Hollywood.

“My American accent could’ve been much better. My acting could’ve been a lot better,” she said to MTV News.

"I wish I could say, 'Oh listen, everybody! It's the Celine Dion song!' But I don't," Winslet admitted. "I just have to sit there, you know, kind of straight-faced with a massive internal eye roll."

Winslet went on to explain that every time she walks into a bar or a restaurant with a pianist, they never miss an opportunity to start playing the notes. "It's thrilling for people to surprise me with the Celine Dion song," she laughed.

But they not only play the tune for her, they also encourage the Oscar winner to sing it herself. "I did a talk show recently in Italy and they actually had a live pianist who started gently playing the theme song. I was not even gently, rather severely, urged to go and sing it as though I had in fact sung it myself in the first place. It was like, 'No! I'm not going to do that.' They're like, 'Oh no, come on it will be funny.' No, it won't be funny. At all. And I'm not going to."

Unfortunately for the actress, it's not just the theme song that haunts her. Whenever she boards a boat, she's the butt of jokes.

"Honestly, I actually now get onto boats and say, 'No jokes, OK? No jokes. Can we just move on from that? And if you have any jokes, let's just get them out of the way right now. Thank you. Anyone? Jokes, jokes? OK, moving on.' And then they still tell jokes," Winslet said. The most common joke is asking her to head to the front of the boat with them to reenact the iconic scene between hers and Leonardo DiCaprio's characters on the rail. To that she replies, "Oh, yeah! Oh, that one! Oh, don't worry, it's my party piece. Sure, come on up, bring your granny."

But Winslet is actually an amazing sport about the jokes. She understands how deeply the film touched its audience. And now that it will be on the big screen again, it can reach a whole new generation — including her children who will see it for the very first time.

"What's negative about it? Really, nothing at all," she said of the 3-D treatment. "It's very different and much more present. It's bigger — if you can believe that — but it is and you really do feel like you're in it."

Audiences will be able to relive the tragic love story — or experience for the first time — when "Titanic" it hits theaters in 3-D on April 4.

Nevertheless, Winslet, who co-starred with Leonardo DiCaprio, was nominated for an Oscar for her performance as Rose.And the film grossed more than $600 million, making it America’s second highest-grossing box-office hit.

The 36-year-old actress has received countless award nominations since her 15-year voyage through Hollywood after the epic romance’s debut on the big screen. She was the youngest person to earn six Academy Award nominations and she won the Academy Award for Best Actress for the 2008 film “The Reader.”

Now the story of a ship’s tragic disaster and the famous on-board love story will return to the big screen on April 4. The debut coincides with the 100th anniversary of the Titanic’s maiden trip from England in April 1912.“It looks very different. I mean, it’s still as wonderful and as epic as it always was. But it does feel bigger, you know, bigger somehow even than it did then, so it’s very exciting,” she said.The actress, who was 21 during filming, claims she is content with the way she looks now.

“I think I look nicer now,” she said. “I prefer myself as a 36-year-old. It's really weird ’cause when you’re 21, you think, ‘Oh God, when I’m 36, oh God, that’s nearly 40 and I'll look really old and wrinkly by then.’ And actually I quite like the way I look. I feel okay about myself these days.”

Julia Roberts Drew Inspiration From People She Knew For Wicked Role

Julia Roberts enters the Casa del Mar hotel ballroom in Los Angeles with the confidence that comes from enjoying a solid movie career.

On this particular day, the Pretty Woman star has made herself available to discuss her role as the sinister queen in Mirror Mirror, the re-imagining of the classic Snow White fantasy, directed by Tarsem Singh, which opens March 30.

As the feisty Roberts sits in front of the assembly of reporters, you can almost hear a bell ring to start the promotional event.

After a few glancing jabs, it doesn't take long for the 44-yearold to land the first blow.

Asked by a cautious journalist if she has ever done anything evil in her life, Roberts sees her opening and strikes.

"Lie to the press," she says coyly. "But it was only one time."

As usual, Roberts likes to mix it up with members of the media, whether they deserve it or not.

It's also true that the Oscar-winning actress plays a convincing not-so-pretty woman opposite Lily Collins' Snow White and Armie Hammer's handsome prince.

And while the basics of the classic fairy tale are there, Mirror Mirror is a mostly re-imagined take on the cautionary yarn about the dysfunctional pursuit of perfection, which dates back hundreds of years, before the whimsical Disney cartoon became the defining reference.

To that end, the movie contains some revisions.

The seven dwarfs have been renamed, and their personalities adjusted to suit the kind of fellows who would rob, not whistle, while they work. Post-modern dialogue is sprinkled throughout, as well.

"The line between homage and lawsuit is very thin," notes Singh, who directed last year's gods-andmonsters epic, Immortals.

In keeping with the classic theme, however, Roberts' queen is a self-involved, vindictive ruler who celebrates her vanity with her mirror until Snow White inadvertently reminds the queen she is not the fairest in the land.

It's a plum part, but it took awhile for Roberts to warm to the fantasy, which is in sharp contrast to her recent reality-based parts in last year's Larry Crowne with Tom Hanks, in 2010's Eat Pray Love, and her co-starring role in the ensemble comedy, Valentine's Day.

Although 1990's Pretty Woman (which won her an Oscar nod and turned her into the highly paid movie star she is today) is described as a modern-day fairy tale, Mirror Mirror ranks as her first major attempt in the genre since she played Tinkerbell in 1991's Hook.

"The one-sentence pitch on the phone, 'Hey, they're doing a Snow White adaptation,' didn't grab my attention," admits Roberts. "Then Tarsem lured me in his luring way, and, after looking at the script, I realized there was really something there."

Typically, after agreeing to do the movie, Roberts worked out her schedule to suit her family. Her mini-entourage includes her husband, Daniel Moder, and their children: six-year-old fraternal twins, Hazel and Finn, and Henry, 4.

And then she got down to business during the shoot in Montreal last year.

Helping Roberts emote were the elaborate sets in sound stages. "They were stunning, and such an integral part of it," she said. So were the costumes, which she describes as "completely original, yet authentic."

What she didn't enjoy were the scenes in which she bullies Snow White. "I mean, it is acting," says Roberts. "But we almost tried to take better care of our relationship because of the nasty undertones."

Collins, daughter of pop star Phil Collins, said her "mentor" went beyond the call of duty.

"It was an absolute honour for (Roberts) to even touch my hair," says Collins. "To be in scenes with somebody you grow up admiring was really something. Her character was being so mean, but all I wanted to do was smile and giggle, because I was so happy."

Convincing, though, is the Roberts' onscreen wickedness. "It was fun to play this villain, because there aren't real rules of syntax or reality that apply to her," Robert said. "I could do anything, and just go off the rails in any direction at any time, and it would make sense to me."

When asked how she managed to dredge up such a convincing diabolical being, she replied: "Well, I'm happy to announce she is not inside me. But without naming names, I drew from a couple of people I know better than I wish I did, and found it very fun and helpful."

Roberts is then asked if her queen could defeat Charlize Theron's rendition of the cranky one, which will be featured in another upcoming Snow White redo, Snow White and the Huntsman. "I've never met her," says Roberts of Theron. "So I couldn't even begin to size her up for your entertainment."

"I am happy to see her looking so healthy and to see she put a little extra meat on!"

Meanwhile, TV personality and "Telephone" co-star Jai Rodriguez commented that Gaga is creating a professional challenge for him.
