Series newcomer Jai Courtney tackles the role of Bruce Willis’ son in the fifth film of the Die Hard franchise, A Good Day to Die Hard. And in this video courtesy of 20th Century Fox, Courtney talks about being a part of this blockbuster franchise, the action, and working with Bruce Willis.
The Plot:
Iconoclastic, take-no-prisoners cop John McClane, for the first time, finds himself on foreign soil after traveling to Moscow to help his wayward son Jack–unaware that Jack is really a highly-trained CIA operative out to stop a nuclear weapons heist. With the Russian underworld in pursuit, and battling a countdown to war, the two McClanes discover that their opposing methods make them unstoppable heroes.

Keira Knightley teamed up with Dave Matthews to take on Jimmy Fallon and Michael Buble in a battle that found the group picking out random songs and picking up random instruments. Buble attempted the accordion while Knightley showed she has no idea how to play a violin, and no one could guess “Row, Row, Row Your Boat” or “New York, New York.”
Update: Unfortunately, the videos are no longer available online. Instead, check out Knightley performing “Raindrops Keep Fallin’ on My Head” and “Despacito” on her teeth.

Yes, it’s true. There is a documentary series based on the lives of porn stars in the works. The series, Amateur America, is backed by executive producer Matt Musolino and the Grand Schema production company and will focus on adult film stars James Deen, Jayden Cole, and Jayden James.
According to the official announcement, the series will follow Deen, Cole, and James as they “start up a new content company and search out a new talent roster.”
“I’m excited to have this show come to fruition after a lot of hard work put in by everyone involved. It’s going to be fun and entertaining, while showing a completely different side of an industry that has been taboo for a long time,” stated Musolino.
Executive producer Christopher J. Scott of Grand Schema said, “This show will give a behind-the-scenes look at an otherwise shunned industry, and bring out the true stories of the people that make it one of the most profitable businesses in the world.”
“I am stoked to start this project. I hope people will enjoy the sneak peek into the adult world as well as seeing what our real personalities are,” said Deen.
Jayden Cole added, “I’m excited to showcase the positive aspect of an industry that is consistently portrayed in a negative light in mainstream media. We’ve got a great team and I’m looking forward to documenting our adventures!”
