At SXSW, Matthew McConaughey Says It's OK To Laugh At 'Killer Joe'
'It's a bit of a hyperreality ... very violent, at the same time, it's very funny,' star tells MTV News at South by Southwest film festival.

Despite the fact Matthew McConaughey is a homegrown Texan, this is the first year he's attending Austin's annual South by Southwest film festival in support of a film of his that was selected. And McConaughey isn't just in town for one premiere — he's here for two: "Killer Joe" and "Bernie."
In "Joe," the "Lincoln Lawyer" star plays a contract killer hired by a young man (Emile Hirsch) who's trying to get rid of his mom for stealing his drugs. Sound outrageous? It is. So much so that the castmembers revealed that while watching some of the scenes, they didn't know if they should laugh or be offended.
"It's a comedy, but everyone played it straight," McConaughey told MTV News at the SXSW premiere Saturday night. "It wasn't a comedy where you played the joke. The situations are absurd. It's a bit of a hyperreality like in some good Tarantino films — very violent, at the same time, it's very funny."
Co-star Gina Gershon added, "The wonderful thing about it is that you could be watching a scene and ... one person watching is totally horrified and the other is laughing their head off. Sometimes, it's like, 'This is kind of sexy.' 'No, it's horrible!' 'No, it's funny.' It really screws with your emotions a lot."
Hirsch admitted that the fact that his character hires a hitman to kill his mom is extreme, but she asked for it when she stole his drugs.
"It's kind of crazy. I think the MTV crowd — whoever those Music Television-loving people are out there — could like it," he said. "I don't know. I'm not going to tell them they will."
The "Into the Wild" star said he liked the insanity of the story — and that he got to act with a limp. "It was good. [Director William] Friedkin kept coming up to me and was like, 'Don't forget the pain. Let me see that limp, let me see that leg.' "
McConaughey said he expects a lot of delayed laughter from audiences because people can't decide whether they should find the situations funny: "It's the kind of late laugh that you go, 'I'm not supposed to be laughing, but I just found myself laughing, and is it OK for me to laugh at that 'cause I just did?' I like it."

Notorious B.I.G.'s Life Celebrated On 15th Anniversary Of His Death
Hip-hop icon was fatally gunned down 15 years ago today at age 24.
By Rob Markman

March 9, 1997: There was absolutely nothing that could have prepared hip-hop fans for the tragic event that took place on that grim day. Then again, there was not much warning when the Notorious B.I.G. entered the hip-hop world either. Sure, there were key cameos on records with Mary J. Blige and reggae star Super Cat, but when all was said and done and B.I.G. was gunned down 15 years ago today, it became clear that rap had lost one of the great ones — perhaps the greatest one of all time.
In the beginning, Biggie Smalls wasn't even the most prominent star on his label. That position was occupied by rapper Craig Mack, whose 1994 hit single "Flava in Ya Ear" initially set the mark of Sean "Diddy" Combs' newly minted Bad Boy Records. B.I.G. was a respected lyricist, a raw rapper who at first seemed unlikely to make a mark on radio. In fact, one of his earliest singles, "Just Playing (Dreams)," poked fun at some of music's biggest hitmakers like Mariah Carey and Patti LaBelle. Then, on September 13, 1994, things done changed.
On his debut album, Ready to Die, Biggie would find an exceptional balance between the unapologetic street rhymes for which he was heralded and a newfound sense of the type of pop sensibility that radio programmers love. On "Gimme the Loot," he threatened to rob a pregnant woman for her jewelry and then managed to sweet-talk the ladies on "Big Poppa." On his "One More Chance" remix, Big described himself as "black and ugly as ever," and though he didn't possess the physique of an LL Cool J, Biggie's charm made him an unlikely sex symbol.
Ready to Die would go on to be certified platinum four times over by the RIAA, but between the bootleg copies and albums sold in largely unaccounted for mom-and-pop shops, its impact was much greater. Rappers like Jay-Z, Nas and Eminem readily admit the influence that Big's opus had on their own art.
Before dropping his second album, Biggie would branch out and start his own label with partner Lance "Un" Rivera and release an album from his group Junior M.A.F.I.A. in 1995. His sexy protégé Lil' Kim would go on to be a star in her own right.
B.I.G. had graduated. Once a street poet, the Notorious One transformed himself into a rap don. He "went from ashy to classy," he would later rap. But as B.I.G.'s celebrity grew, so did the resentment of his rival rappers. Biggie would become entangled in a lyrical tit-for-tat with onetime friend Tupac Shakur and his Cali crew over at Death Row Records. It was dubbed an East Coast/ West Coast beef. Rumors would then surface that it was the Biggie and 'Pac beef that led to the shooting and eventual death of Shakur in September 1996. Although those rumors continue to persist in certain circles, there is no evidence that Tupac's feud with Biggie led to his death.
With the hip-hop community picking up the pieces after 'Pac's death, B.I.G. continued to prepare his sophomore LP, Life After Death. On the double-disc CD (24 tracks in total), the Brooklyn don would exhibit even more musical growth. The underground spitter who at first never seemed to have a chance at radio was easily making hits with the best of them. L.A.D.'s first single, "Hypnotize," hit #1 on the Billboard Hot 100 chart and Big's sophomore album would go on to be certified diamond by the RIAA, selling more than 10 million copies.
Sadly, the Notorious B.I.G. didn't get to see how the world truly embraced his final album. On March 9, 1997, Christopher Wallace, the Notorious B.I.G., was gunned down at age 24 in a drive-by shooting in Los Angeles after leaving a Soul Train Awards afterparty at the Petersen Automotive Museum. Life After Death was released in stores 16 days later, on March 25, 1997. His murder remains unsolved.
Join MTV News as we celebrate the Notorious B.I.G's life on the 15th anniversary of his death. From March 9 through March 25, we will be rolling out exclusive and commemorative content from Biggie's closest friends, collaborators and his biggest fans.

'Bill And Ted 3' Will Explore 'Rock' History, Alex Winter Says
'We're happy with what we wrote,' Winter tells MTV News, confirming that he and Keanu Reeves reprised their characters while developing script.

God gave rock and roll to you, and if you're lucky, he'll give you a brand new "Bill and Ted" adventure as well! That's the plan, at least, according to one half of the dimwitted duo: Alex Winter, who starred as Bill Preston Esq. in both "Excellent Adventure" and "Bogus Journey," isn't just hoping for a "Bill and Ted" reunion, he's getting close to making it actually happen.
"I think the reality is that there probably will be another one," Winter told MTV News during a recent interview about his new Napster documentary, "Downloaded." Indeed, Winter and co-star Keanu Reeves both recently confirmed that a third "Bill and Ted" script is finished (and totally excellent). Of course, given how long it's taken to get the third movie off the ground — "Bogus Journey," their last appearance, hit theaters in 1991 — arriving at a universally agreed-upon idea wasn't an exact science.
"We just kicked ideas around [over the years] and eventually, we kicked one idea around that clicked," Winter said. "It felt timely. Funnily enough, it felt better because so much time had gone by. What would it be like to revisit those guys now? From a comedy standpoint, it felt kind of cool to revisit two galvanized comic characters a chunk of time later, [exploring] what you can do with that from a comedy perspective."
Though much time has passed between the last "Bill and Ted" and now, Winter admitted that it's "very possible" that Bill and Ted themselves, despite their age, haven't grown up with the times — though he would neither confirm nor deny their current maturity level. What he would say, however, is that the next "Bill and Ted" adventure would focus heavily on the rock and roll spirit that's always been present in the franchise.
"What's happened to rock and roll in the last 20 years? The movie's going to get in and play with some of that stuff," he said. "Where is rock? Where are we? What's happened to the whole idea of saving the world — or what hasn't happened? There's a lot to play with there."
There's so much to play with, in fact, that Winter and Reeves both slipped into character on more than one occasion while developing the new "Bill and Ted" script.
"Yes, we did. It's really sad how easy it was [to get back into character]," he laughed. "You go away and do all this other stuff and go, 'I'm not Bill, that's absurd!' ... And then me and Reeves got together, and suddenly we're the characters again. We didn't even mean to. We just started riffing on it. When we were doing notes and me and Reeves started riffing on the dialogue, it's just, oh my god. Yeah, it's in there. God knows."
"Bill and Ted 3," which has a title that Winter won't reveal just yet ("But it'll say it all," he promised), still has obstacles in the way. No, there are no Evil Us's to consider, but the script does not yet have a green-light. According to Winter, though, he's more than happy with the project as it stands, even if it never makes it to the big screen.
"It's something we think is a very fun thing. We had a lot of fun developing it, and the guys are amazing writers," Winter said of working with longtime "Bill and Ted" writers Chris Matheson and Ed Solomon. "We had a lot of fun with the script. We're happy with where it's at now. If it goes forward, great. If it doesn't, we're happy with what they wrote and what we came up with."

'John Carter': The Reviews Are In!
Critics are not finding much to praise in film based on Edgar Rice Burroughs hero.
By Kevin P. Sullivan
Taylor Kitsch in "John Carter"

Disney's $250 million effort to bring the iconic Edgar Rice Burroughs hero, to the screen is certainly not making critics leap for joy supernaturally high because of differences in gravity. In fact, many have outright damned the film, while others have found a deep and fun love of B-movie and pulp traditions
We've rounded up a sampling of reviews of "John Carter," so you'll know whether to head out to the theater this weekend.
The Story
"Our hero is John Carter, the Confederate Civil War veteran who strikes gold in the Arizona territory but who is whisked to the planet Barsoom on the flimsiest of pretexts. Barsoom is Mars by another name, and the Virginia-born Carter lands in the middle of another civil war, this one between the Heliumites and the Zondangans. Dejah Thoris, the Heliumite princess known also as 'the red girl,' is about to be married off against her will. But love finds a way, and while Taylor Kitsch's hunky John Carter and Lynn Collins' dishy princess smolder as effectively as possible under the circumstances, Kitsch in particular seems lost in ways unrelated to his character's predicament." — Michael Phillips, Chicago Tribune
Taylor Kitsch
"If the movie had a leading actor with the galactic charisma necessary for the task, we might even be talking classic sci-fi. Since it's impossible to put Harrison Ford into the Wayback Machine, though, we're stuck with the unfortunately named Taylor Kitsch (TV's 'Friday Night Lights') as John Carter, the burned-out Civil War veteran who finds himself mysteriously transported to the Red Planet while searching for gold in the caves of Arizona. Kitsch is decent company — manly, muscled, noble, sardonic — but there's nothing unique about him, and we follow him by default." — Ty Burr, Boston Globe
The Backstory
"It starts with a great story — of love and politics, time travel and mystical pathways between planets — badly sucked dry. Based on 'A Princess of Mars,' the post-Civil War/pre-Tarzan brainchild of arguably one of the most entertaining non-Disney imagineers of all times, Edgar Rice Burroughs, the book and the Barsoom (a.k.a. Mars) series that would follow has been picked over for plot points by Hollywood for years." — Betsy Sharkey, Los Angeles Times
The Pixar Connection
"The Pixar touch is evident in the precision of the visual detail and in the wit and energy of Michael Giacchino's score, but the quality control that has been exercised over this project also has a curiously undermining effect. The movie eagerly sells itself as semitrashy, almost-campy fun, but it is so lavish and fussy that you can't help thinking that it wants to be taken seriously, and therefore you laugh at, rather than with, its mock sublimity." — A.O. Scott, New York Times
The Final Word
"The film was directed by Andrew Stanton, whose credits include 'A Bug's Life' (1998), 'Finding Nemo' (2003) and 'WALL-E' (2008). All three have tight, well-structured plots, and that's what 'John Carter' could use more of. The action sequences are generally well-executed, but they're too much of a muchness. Does 'John Carter' get the job done for the weekend action audience? Yes, I suppose it does." — Roger Ebert, Chicago Sun-Times

Ashley Olsen Quits Acting
'I don't like to be the center of attention anymore,' she tells Elle U.K.
By Jocelyn Vena

While her little sister Elizabeth Olsen is currently Hollywood's "It" girl, one half of the Olsen twins, Ashley, has announced that she no longer has plans to act.
"We worked non-stop until we were 18," the fashion mogul said in an interview with Elle U.K. "Then we decided to take a break and go to school — and that was when we decided to question whether we would carry on in entertainment. It was time to step behind the process. I wanted to work on other things. It doesn't mean I'm not interested in Hollywood, I like the way it operates and the people who are involved and the sense of possibility. But if I ever do get back in, it's not going to be as an actress. It just felt right to move away."
It seems her focus will be on her three fashion lines with Mary-Kate, and perhaps a move behind the camera. "I don't have to be a pretty face," she said, reports E! News. "I've done that, but now it's important and liberating to be on the other side of the lens. I don't like to be the center of attention anymore.
"We are perfectionists," she added about her work as a fashion designer. "We've always wanted to be closely involved with everything, totally hands on — that's why it works. If we step away, it stops working. I know it sounds controlling, but that's how it has to be."
At the end of the day, MK and Ash still seem to share a similar work ethic. "We're attracted to different things, but we arrive at the same place," she said. "I think we're probably unaware of how intuitive it might seem from the outside. It's basically one thought process shared between two people."

'Walking Dead' Creator Explains Shocking Death
'It would be inaccurate to portray this show as anything other than completely dangerous,' Robert Kirkman tells MTV News.
By Josh Wigler
Jeffrey DeMunn in "The Walking Dead"

Warning: Major spoilers for the latest episode of "The Walking Dead" lurk ahead!
Death is par for the course on "The Walking Dead," but that knowledge wasn't enough to prepare for the shocking death of fan-favorite character Dale. Veteran actor Jeffrey DeMunn made his final appearance on the AMC survival horror series on Sunday night, and as is custom for the show, his exit was a gruesome one: While strolling along the quiet fields of Hershel's farm, Dale was mortally injured by a roaming zombie and, ultimately, euthanized by a bullet to the head from antihero Daryl Dixon (Norman Reedus).
"Dale's death comes at a time where he's very much needed," executive producer Robert Kirkman told MTV News about the shocking decision to kill DeMunn's character. "[Rick and the gang] are trying to make this decision on what to do with Randall. The farm is becoming increasingly dangerous. There is still tension between Rick and Shane, despite the fact that it appears that they've put much of their differences behind them for now. They need that moral compass [in Dale], and it's been taken away."
Losing Dale will have massive repercussions on the rest of the "Walking Dead" cast, Kirkman promised. Chief among those feeling the sting will be Carl (Chandler Riggs), who was partially responsible for Dale's death. Earlier in the episode, Carl wandered into the forest by himself and taunted a seemingly immobile zombie — the very same zombie that ripped Dale's guts out.
"It's interesting to see Carl doing kid stuff: going out on his own, trying to prove he's strong enough to kill a zombie, proving that he's deserving of carrying a gun," Kirkman said. "He instigated this whole situation. We're going to deal with his emotions and what comes from him causing Dale's death to a certain extent. That's definitely one of the big repercussions where Dale's death affects these characters."
Once again, Dale's death proves that the "Walking Dead" TV series is more than willing to deviate from the "Walking Dead" comic books. In Kirkman's comics, Dale survives dozens and dozens of issues before finally succumbing to a fatal zombie bite. Seeing the popular character leave the show so soon is bound to be a shock for longtime fans then — but that wasn't the only kind of shock value Kirkman and company were aiming for.
"One of the things we wanted to do is show how dangerous these zombies actually are," Kirkman said. "We were sitting around the writers' room early on in the planning of season two, and we thought, you know, there aren't a lot of zombies actually succeeding in what they're trying to do. They eat people here and there, but we've never really had a zombie actually take down one of our main characters — at least not for a while, not since the first season. We wanted to remind people how dangerous these creatures are. It also threw a wrench in everyone's plans to take Dale off the table, so those two ideas merged into one until we eventually came to offing this character."
Fans aren't just losing Dale, of course: they're also losing DeMunn, one of the finest actors "The Walking Dead" has to offer. Taking an actor of such high caliber off the playing field is not something the "Dead" team treated lightly, Kirkman said.
"It's a tremendous loss," he admitted. "It's difficult. It's difficult for the cast, because they've become pretty much a family hanging out in rural Georgia. They keep each other company. It's definitely a big deal [losing Jeffrey]; it sucks for everybody. Jeffrey in particular brought a serious sense of gravitas to the role and definitely legitimized this show by gracing us with his presence. We were lucky to get an actor of his caliber. He added a lot to the show, and his presence is definitely going to be missed.
"But," Kirkman added, "this is 'The Walking Dead.' It would be inaccurate to portray this show as anything other than completely dangerous, and in order to do that, you have to lose characters from time to time."

Tyga's 'King And Queens' Shares Name With Nas' New Label

Don't let the popularity of "Rack City" fool you. Tyga's recently released Careless World: Rise of the Last King is packed with 21 joints (23 if you buy the iTunes bonus tracks). Among the most notable are the Lil Wayne-assisted "Faded" and "King and Queens" with Nas and Wale.
This isn't the first time Wale and Tyga have collaborated; the D.C. spitter appears on the official "Rack City" remix, but for Nas to link up with the Young Money newcomer is a big deal. "I feel like it crosses every angle, and the song is consistent. It doesn't fall off," Tyga said of "King and Queens" when he appeared on Wednesday's "RapFix Live." "From my verse to Wale to Nas' verse, it's just a perfect song from beginning to end.
"[Nas] actually has a label called Kings and Queens that he just started, so he was like, it's just cliché that I sent him a song called '[King] and Queens' and he just started a label called Kings and Queens, which is crazy,'" Tyga told Sway.
Originally Tyga intended for Nas to jump on another track seven months ago, but the rap veteran never turned in his verse. "It was real apocalyptic, I was like, 'Man, this would be the perfect song to send him because he could talk that Nas sh-- on it,' " Tyga said of the song that never was.
A few days before the YM standout was scheduled to turn in his album, Nas hit him up again with some encouraging words and an offer to finally record the overdue collaboration. "He was like, 'Man, congrats to your success, young homey. You doing your thing, I'm watching,' " Tyga said of Nas' message.

Will Justin Bieber's Big-Screen Dreams Come True?
On his 18th birthday, we take a look at the superstar's upcoming acting gigs.

By this point, it's no secret that Justin Bieber has his sights set on the silver screen. Ever since his meteoric rise to stardom and his success with the concert film "Never Say Never," talk has circulated about his first dramatic film projects.
Now, on his 18th birthday, let's take a closer look at Bieber's big-screen potential!
We got an early look at his acting chops on an episode of "CSI," in which he played troubled teen Jason McCann and was famously blown away in a hail of gunfire. The cameo indicated his purported desire to take on darker roles, along the lines of those played by Mark Wahlberg.
The most concrete movie project on the horizon for Bieber actually involves Wahlberg. The two have been developing a basketball movie, in the vein of "The Color of Money." Wahlberg will play a weathered baller who takes a younger player (Bieber) under his wing.
MTV News spoke with Wahlberg about the project, and he said his interest in working with the pop star comes from his intuition about Bieber's acting ability. "I see the guy and spent time with him, and you see what he does and how he does it," Wahlberg said. "Then you actually have a conversation with him, and it's there."
The basketball project is currently in development at Paramount.
Another Wahlberg-related project with Bieber's name attached is a rumored remake of the 1996 film "Fear." MovieWeb reported back in January that Bieber is supposedly "obsessed" with the movie and hopes to land the psychotic role to mirror Wahlberg's career path. There hasn't been an update on the remake's progress since.
Happy 18th birthday, Justin Bieber! Now that we've counted down the superstar's 18 greatest moments, stick with MTV News as we celebrate the milestone all day.

When it's your 18th birthday, you'll probably get well wishes from mom, dad, and, if you're lucky, your teenage crush. But when you're Justin Bieber, you get shouts from Usher, Lil Wayne and Sean Kingston. Be jealous!
On Thursday (March 1), the Biebs turned 18 years old, and his most famous friends hooked up with MTV News to celebrate Bieber's birthday. "I hope that you are around all of your loved ones and having a good time. This is from big bro, from the heart," Usher said in a video piece compiled by MTV News for the Biebs.
The Confessions singer initially signed Justin along with his manager Scooter Braun, and he has since become a mentor to the pop star. So of course the 33-year-old Usher had to impart some b-day wisdom on his young homey. "Eighteen will give you an opportunity to do a little bit, not all, so we got a few more years before you can go all the way," he said, acknowledging the three years until JB turns 21 and is allowed to legally drink in the U.S. "Maybe I might even be able to sneak you into a club. Anyway dawg, happy birthday. I love you."
Comedian Kevin Hart isn't buying all of Justin's birthday hype, though. "Whatever Justin Bieber is supposed to be doing at 18, he was doing at 15," he joked after sending his well wish.
Platinum hitmakers RedFoo, B.o.B, Sean Kingston and Flo Rida all helped MTV News celebrate the occasion. Even Lil Wayne, who was with Bieber in the studio in February, sent a special message. "Happy Birthday, slime, the big one-eight. You in the club, slime," Weezy said, standing beside Young Money's Lil Chuckee.
As far as birthday presents go, it's anybody's guess what his buddies will actually get Bieber. But Robin Thicke bypassed tradition and instead hit up the "Never Say Never" singer for a loan. "Send me some money, Justin. You got way too much," he said, laughing.
But what do you get the young man who has everything? Sometimes all it takes is a few kind words. "Thank you to all the people that made the video," Bieber told MTV News. "It really brought a smile to my face."

Intel on Tuesday introduced the Crystal Forest chipset, which the company hopes will fill a networking gap as it tries to build an integrated technology stack for data centers.
The chipset has specific hardware and software-driven features that could speed up data processing on a network, said Steve Price, director of marketing for Intel's Communications Infrastructure Division. The chipset could aggregate network data quicker from servers inside data centers without compromising performance or security.
