Rose McGowan Video Interview CONAN

Seleb-Online - After years in pre-production, including a well respected but unproduced John Milius draft, an aborted Red Sonja redux and a countless hours of fan casting, Conan The Barbarian returns to theaters this Friday with Marcus Nispel directing Game of Thrones’ Jason Momoa, as the titular warrior. Rose McGowan, Rachel Nichols, Ron Perlman and Stephen Lang round out the cast of this 3D bloodbath.

Hemming closer to the fantastical Robert E. Howard books, this new Conan is stripped down and vicious. Recently, I sat down with McGowan to discuss her role as an evil priestess in the film. During our interview we discussed the joy of playing mean, why her Red Sonja film was put on hold, her character’s bizarre, but oddly sensuous appeal, the dangers of STDs in ancient times, and she gave us a tidbit on her upcoming film Fortune, where she might be playing a transvestite. Hit the jump to watch.

Finally, if you missed my interviews with Jason Momoa or Rachel Nichols, just click the links.

• Future project talk. Says she’ll be playing a transvestite in Fortune if the financing comes together

'Twilight: Breaking Dawn Part 1' poster: The gang's all here

Seleb-Online - Thursday (Aug. 18) marks three months to the day until the release of "Twilight: Breaking Dawn Part 1," and in honor of the occasion we have a new poster from the movie to share.

Or new-ish, anyway. The poster above is a variation on the one "Twilight" studio Summit released at Comic-Con last month, although the cast is less packed together than in the earlier shot and the new poster gives everyone a full-body shot.

Unsurprisingly, Robert Pattinson, Kristen Stewart and Taylor Lautner are front and center, with Lautner's Jacob standing apart and looking all scowly and stuff while Edward and Bella snuggle up. The rest of the Cullens are staring out from behind them.

"Breaking Dawn Part 1" opens Nov. 18. What do you think of the new poster ?
