Your source for everything on actress Lynn Collins. She is best known for her role as Portia in The Merchant Of Venice (2004). She played Dawn Green in Season 1 of True Blood. She starred in other films such as X-Men Origins: Wolverine (2009) and Uncertainty (2009). She plays Dejah Thoris in her latest film, John Carter out in theatres on March 9 2012.
Looks like The Avengers is helping with box office boost for John Carter:
While most of the world was paying attention to The Avengers over the weekend, fellow Disney pic John Carter was making its own news.
John Carter zoomed up the domestic box office office chart from No. 38 the week before to No. 12 — thanks to being paired with The Avengers at more than 150 drive-ins across the country.
John Carter — which resulted in a $200 million loss for Disney — grossed $1.5 million and was up a staggering 1,223 percent over the previous weekend. The film’s domestic gross is now $70.8 million, while it has grossed $208.2 million overseas. Those are big numbers, but a hefty production budget and marketing spend put Disney into the red.
It’s common practice for drive-ins to offer double features. Usually, however, it doesn’t boost the older film’s bottom line to such a degree. But Avengers did such massive business — the film opened to $207.4 million, the biggest opening of all time –that it made a difference.
The average cost of a drive-in ticket is $8. Studios don’t disclose how they divvy up the ticket sales between two films playing in a double feature.
The blu ray and dvd release date for John Carter is June 5! Here is the information for pre order the dvd and blu ray on Amazon which I posted before.Tweet
Check out this small interview of Steven with Elle Magazine promoting Magic City. He mentions that Lynn loves the show which is not a surprise especially from her tweets regarding the show
When you see the posters for Starz’ new drama series, Magic City (premiering at 10PM on Friday) you probably think something like wait, is this not Boardwalk Empire? Or, is that Denny from Grey’s Anatomy? Or, how many more shows are going to make me wish I lived in another time? We can answer the second one. Yes, that is Jeffrey Dean Morgan. He plays Ike Evans, a smoldering (sometimes smarmy) owner of the fictitious Miramar Playa hotel in pre-Cuban Revolution Miami. The premise is hot, the southern temps balmy, but the show’s two young breakouts—Christian Cooke and Steven Strait, who play impossibly sexy brothers—absolutely smolder…
..Name: Steven Strait
Age: 26
Provenance: New York
Relationship Status: Married. “My wife loves the show,” Strait says of John Carter star Lynn Collins. Despite the racy scenes (“Starz has allowed more nudity and sex in Magic City than in almost anything else,” says The Hollywood Reporter), their union is unaffected by on-screen antics: “She’s an actress,” he tells ELLE, “so she probably understands a bit more than others just how unsexy it is to shoot a sex scene.”
Ladies Man? Not so much. “No!” he says when asked if he is similar playboy character, Stevie. “In terms of personal characteristics, he and I are completely dissimilar.”
Love at first sight? Totally. Defining the romantic theory as when, “You have to be there; you have to be with that person,” Strait confesses, “It is something I believe in.”
Disney’s John Carter starring Taylor Kitsch and Lynn Collins may find a second wind on Blu-ray and DVD if pre-release buzz at Amazon.com is to be believed.
In a matter of hours, the four-disc Blu-ray 3D combo pack version of John Carter went up for pre-order and shot up to the number one spot on Amazon’s Blu-ray bestsellers chart. This type of immediate sales dominance is usually reserved for the Star Wars, Twilight and Indiana Jones films of the world. In this instance, there’s a lot of interest for the well-reviewed but poor box office performer that cost Disney roughly $200 million in write-offs.
The John Carter Blu-ray 3D combo pack will include the 2D Blu-ray version, the DVD version, and a digital copy. A Blu-ray and DVD combo pack version will also be available. I also have it on good authority to expect both Blu-ray releases to include making-of materials, bloopers and deleted scenes, the history of John Carter dating back to Edgar Rice Burroughs’s original story, a second-screen feature, and an audio commentary that may or may not include director Andrew Stanton.
The John Carter Blu-ray release date will not be announced until well in April. Expect John Carter to make its home video debut in either June or July.
Lynn attended Magic City Los Angeles Premiere yesterday with Steven. Steven plays Stevie on the tv show. It premieres a week early next week on March 30. It officially premieres on Starz on April 6. The tv series has already been picked up for a 2nd season.
Love Lynn’s outfit. I will add pics of Lynn up later!Tweet
