Clive Owen: Preview HBO's hot Emmy contender 'Hemingway & Gellhorn' By Marcus Dixon Apr 23 2012 | 01:45 am (GOLD DERBY)

The Emmy derby is about to get a massive A-list shake-up when HBO's original film "Hemingway and Gellhorn" makes its long-awaited debut Monday, May 28. The film screens out of competition at the Cannes filmfest the week before.

Golden Globe winner Clive Owen ("Closer," 2004) and Academy Award winner Nicole Kidman ("The Hours," 2002) lead an all-star cast that includes Oscar champ Robert Duvall ("Tender Mercies," 1983), Emmy victor David Strathairn ("Temple Grandin," 2010), SAG Drama Ensemble nominee Molly Parker ("Deadwood," 2007) and three-time Emmy winner Tony Shalhoub ("Monk," 2003, 2005, 2006). The star appeal of its cast should give "Hemingway & Gellhorn" some major Emmy attention when nominations are announced July 19. However, when HBO recently confirmed with Gold Derby all of their acting submissions for the year, Duvall was a notable omission.

Alan Rickman: Wait, What? ‘Galaxy Quest’ Was Initially R-Rated (GEEKS OF DOOM)

Speaking with Lindsey Collins—producer of the massive Disney blockbuster that hit theaters this weekend, John Carter—recently, Collider’s Steve Weintraub was informed of some long-lost buried treasure of sorts.

Apparently Galaxy Quest, the fantastic 1999 sci-fi comedy starring Tim Allen, Alan Rickman, Sigourney Weaver, Sam Rockwell, Tony Shalhoub, and Daryl Mitchell (as well as a slew of other familiar faces) as the stars of an old sci-fi TV series (a la Star Trek) who inadvertently find themselves beamed out to space to help very real aliens put an end to the ongoing threats of an evil being named Sarris and his crew, was initially an R-rated comedy before being cut down to the PG version fans know and love.

Collins explained how she came to find out this information while dining with Weaver: “We had lunch with Sigourney, who was telling us that there actually used to be an R-rated version of that movie which was awesome. It was the director’s cut and it was R-rated and everybody was swearing and there were sex scenes, and the whole thing. They didn’t know what to do with it, so they had to re-edit the whole thing and made it what it is today. We were like, ‘How do we get our hands on the R-rated version of Galaxy Quest?’ She said ‘I don’t know!’ and we were like, ‘Come on, Sigourney!’”
