Hi! I am new here and would like to share my lj entry about this brillant actor, Paul Bettany :)
I first saw him in Knight's Tale butt-naked as Geoffrey Chaucer, a writer in medieval times that is a gambler and helped Sir William Thatcher (Heath Ledger) reached his dreams as a Knight.
Second, he is Charles the imaginary friend of John Nash (Russell Crowe) in A Beautiful Mind. His portrayal is so real you would not really know that its only Nash who can see him.
Third, I saw the romantic side of him in Wimbledon as Peter Colt a tennis player who is getting old and trying to revive his career and finds love along the way.
Fourth, in Firewall I saw the other part of him the villain as Bill Cox who made the peaceful life of Jack Stanfield (Harrison Ford) miserable just because he needs an access to robbing a bank electronically.
And then there he goes again as Dustfinger in Inkheart who is both a villain and a hero in the film. A character of a book who comes out of it and live in our present time and doing all his best to get back in his time and be with his family.
Five times I watched him and everytime he amazes me with his portrayal of the character. It seems so natural to him. I even not noticed only last night that I like him, I like him as an actor. He is good! :)
Hope to watch more of him and his brillance :)

JustJared has posted the first pictures of Paul on the set of Creation! Just look at that super-hot haircut. ;) You can see the pictures at JJ or here in the PBnet gallery. He and Toby Jones are apparently rehearsing, since they aren't in full costume.

We're going to be doing a group read of Annie's Box by Randal Keynes (basis of Creation), beginning in October. If you're interested in joining us, please visit this thread on the forum.
(btw, despite what a few sites have reported, Paul and Jennifer ARE still cast in Creation; Joseph Fiennes and Rosamund Pike have been cast in another movie called Mrs. Darwin.)

Okay, I am over-the-moon excited about this. Paul and Jennifer will be playing Charles and Emma Darwin in the movie Creation. The script was written by John Colley, who also wrote the script for Master and
Commander. Click here to read more!

The Secret Life of Bees trailer is online! It looks like SUCH a good movie. Paul is in the trailer briefly, and I've put a couple of screencaps in the gallery.
While you're in the gallery, check out the first publicity still of Paul in the movie as well, if you haven't already. :D

PBnet has been hacked. Doesn't look like anything serious, just a matter of the person adding a string of code to the end of every PHP file. Unfortunately, PBnet has a LOT of PHP files. :-/ So I'll be busy this morning re-downloading scripts, overwriting files, etc. *sigh*

New pictures of Paul are a little on the rare side at the moment, so as soon as a friend sent me these of Paul and the kids out and about, I just had to post them. Paul looks like one badass mofo rocker, and the kids are bundled up good! (Just check out those scarves.)
( NINE MORE BACK HERE! )
edit. Oops, I put all the big pictures behind the cut. Sorry, I didn't realize it was so big!

Celebrity Baby Blog has two cute pictures of Paul, Jennifer, and a very tall and much older-looking Stellan. :D
I'm still working on the Wordpress problem. Rather wish I hadn't upgraded... Anyway, sorry for the downtime.

If anyone's wondering why PBnet is down, it's because I upgraded Wordpress this morning and ran into technical difficulties with the old code. I'll get it sorted out soon, hopefully!

Scholastic will be putting out a series of promotional children's books for the Inkheart movie, including this one: Dustfinger's Magical World with Paul on the cover. It's a new picture of him - and a great one at that. The movie storybook also has a small picture of Dustfinger on the cover. Both of these pictures have been added to the gallery (speaking of the gallery, have you seen the There for Me stills that Serina found?). The Amazon page does not say when the books will be released, but they are available for pre-order. Thanks to Yoyo for the heads-up about this!

I hope it's okay to plug the Connelly/Bettany icon challenge community in here that I launched just recently.
Challenges will run on a bi-weekly basis, and feature either Jennifer or Paul, or - most likely - both of them. We're brandnew, so the first challenge didn't even start yet, but it will very soon. I'd like to invite any Jen-and-Paul-admirer who likes to make icons and compete with other icon makers, or anyone who enjoys to participate in the votings. Please join us:

Irini found this posted on the IMDB message boards: " I live in Finsbury Park, London and we had a flyer to advise us they would be filming this [There for Me] on June 17 on Fonthill Road, N4 (I live quite near and I guess they have to tell people when they're doing this)."
If you live nearby, you might want to hop over there and try to steal a glimpse of Paul, Charlie Condou, and/or Saffron Burrows! Maybe even take a picture and send it to us so that we can all be jealous of you? *winks*
