Jude Law Backs Teen Effort to Fund Film

Celebrities usually get a hard time here at Wondertrash. Occasionally though a celebrity does something genuinely praiseworthy. Jude Law has taken time to support two young independent film makers. He's using his influence to help them get their project funded. It makes a refreshing change from celebrities who glom onto an already established cause in order to boost their own image. Who knows - perhaps Jude is backing this because he really believes that it's worth while.



Speaking of celebrities who glom onto causes, Johnny Depp is one of many celebrities supporting the West Memphis 3.

James Bond is in a cruel business

Pierce Brosnon has had a funny relationship with the James Bond franchise. They wanted him back during his Remington Steele days but NBC wouldn't let him out of his contract. Once Timothy Dalton (father of Oksana Sugartits Greigoriva's first child) was cast, NBC canceled Steele. Dalton's second run as Bond wasn't so good, and finally Brosnan got his chance. Though he was popular in the role, as Brosnan reveals in the following interview, he was unceremoniously dropped from the role. As Pierce says, it's always been a cruel business.



So Hollywood executives have done what Soviet spies & SMERSH never could - get rid of 007! It's probably no consolation to PB, but arguably the best Bond film ever was Her Majesty's Secret Service with George Lazenby. That was to be Lazenby's one and only run in the role.
