[BlackTree TV - New York] Now I know for many of you this cast represents some type of assortment of eye candy, for many others it represents a cast full of young African American actors that we hope to see rise to the top of their game as their careers grow. But for me, I was most at awe by the real tuskegee airmen whom we met in New York while doing a Press Day for Red Tails. As big a producer as George Lucas is, as big a star as Terrence Howard and Cuba Gooding, Jr. are, none of them compared to the career of Dr. Roscoe Brown, Squandron Leader for airforce regiment known to us as the Tuskegee Airmen, and the first fighter pilot period to shoot down a German Jet Plane over Berlin. I was honored to meet the gentleman and to feel his tight grip as he shook my hands. Now up in his years, his brain hasn t lost a step and he came off to me as the star that he most certainly is. Well check out the interview, no reason for me to sit here and tell you about it all they when you can just watch.... for more log onto http://www.blacktree.tv and follow us on twitter @blacktreetv Blacktree is at all the hottest events on the planet (award shows, movie premieres and press junkets, fashion shows, etc.) and now BLACKTREE ON TV brings stars to YOU on Soul of the South!

MARK WAHLBERG (The Fighter, The Other Guys) and KATE BECKINSALE (Underworld series, The Aviator) lead the cast of Contraband, a fast-paced thriller about a man trying to stay out of a world he worked hard to leave behind, and the family he ll do anything to protect.

But after his brother-in-law, Andy (CALEB LANDRY JONES of X-Men: First Class, No Country for Old Men), botches a drug deal for his ruthless boss, Tim Briggs (GIOVANNI RIBISI of Avatar, Public Enemies), Chris is forced back into doing what he does better than anyone—running contraband—to settle Andy s debt. With the help of his best friend, Sebastian Abney (BEN FOSTER of 30 Days of Night, 3:10 toYuma), Chris quickly assembles a crew that includes their childhood friend Danny Raymer (LUKAS HAAS of Inception, Brick) to head to Panama and return with millions in counterfeit bills.

In The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo, Academy Award®-nominated director David Fincher (The Social Network) uncoils the world of Stieg Larsson s global blockbuster thriller on the screen. Within the story s labyrinth lie murder, corruption, family secrets and the inner demons of the two unexpected partners chasing the truth of a 40-year-old mystery. Mikael Blomkvist (Daniel Craig) is a financial reporter determined to restore his honor after being convicted of libel. Engaged by one of Sweden s wealthiest industrialists, Henrik Vanger (Academy Award® nominee Christopher Plummer), to get to the bottom of the long-ago disappearance of his beloved niece, Harriet -- murdered, Vanger believes, by a member of his large family -- the journalist heads to a remote island on the frozen Swedish coast, unaware of what awaits him. At the same time, Lisbeth Salander (Rooney Mara), an unusual but ingenious investigator with Milton Security, is hired to do a background check on Blomkvist, a job that ultimately leads to her joining Mikael in his investigation of who killed Harriet Vanger. Though Lisbeth shields herself from a world that has repeatedly betrayed her, her hacking skills and single-minded focus become invaluable. While Mikael goes face-to-face with the tight-lipped Vangers, Lisbeth plies the wired shadows. They begin to trace a chain of homicides from the past into the present, forging a fragile strand of trust even as they are pulled into the most savage currents of modern crime. ROONEY MARA (Lisbeth Salander) began her career several years ago, shortly after enrolling as a student at New York University. Since then, Mara landed roles in several independent films, including Dare and The Winning Season, both of which debuted at the 2009 Sundance Film Festival. Mara co-starred alongside Jackie Earle Haley and Thomas Dekker in the latest installment of Nightmare on Elm Street as well as with Michael Cera in Youth in Revolt. Mara also appeared as the lead character, Francesca, in the 2009 Toronto Film ...
