YBF chic Zoe Saldana dons some beautiful haute couture gowns in the May 2011 issue of PRESTIGE Magazine’s Hong Kong edition. In the mag, she also talks about her upcoming movie Colombiana.  See the pics and read highlights inside….

 

For the May 2011 cover of PRESTIGE Magazine’s Hong Kong Edition, Zoe Saldana, who is engaged to her longtime beau Keith Britton, wore Elie Saab Haute Couture and spoke to the mag about her latest movie.  Elsewhere in the pictorial, the actress wore looks from Burberry Prorsum, Alberta Ferretti, Miu Miu, Escada, Stephen Webster, Versace and Glynneth Barren. 

The PRESTIGE Magazine photoshoot took place at Montage Beverly Hills and the Avatar actress talked about her upcoming film Colombiana, where she plays an assassin out to avenge the murder of her parents. 

.
On why she decided to take lead role in new movie Colombiana:

 The opportunity to work with [producer/screenwriter] Luc Besson, another filmmaker I completely respect, and who’s known for writing great roles for women. And I was excited about working with an international cast and crew. And even though it’s a typical story of revenge, it’s a story told through the eyes of a woman who was hurt when she was a little girl and who grows up wanting justice for what was done to her. I felt touched by that.

On filming in Paris:

 If I could do a movie in Paris every year, I’d be the happiest camper. It’s such a beautiful city, especially in the summer.

On what she looks for in a movie role:

In the past I’ve played supporting roles, the love interest, the chick in the flick. I’m not degrading that. But it just doesn’t fulfill me as much as when I get to play someone who represents me as entirely as can be.

On taking on directing roles:

I’m working with my sister directing episodes for a pilot with Vin Diesel called The Ropes, about the lives of bouncers. We’re so psyched. I had the most amazing first day of shooting. I was on the set for 12 hours, went to bed at two am, was up again at 7.30, my energy and brain completely alert. I can’t wait to get back on set. After one day on set, I’m feeling the itch. I’m also directing a video short for Glamour magazine. And I’m in talks to possibly direct a film in Montreal, but I don’t want to say too much about that until it actually happens. Anything can change in this business.

‘Our prediction was $129 million, and that’s looking like a real possibility,’ BoxOffice.com editor Phil Contrino says.

For the last few days, Hollywood has been abuzz over the idea that “The Hangover Part II” could pull over $125 million into its boozy box-office wake over the extended five-day Memorial Day holiday. Could an R-rated comedy really do such boffo biz?

It’s looking increasingly like it can. Wednesday’s midnight screenings of “Hangover” pulled in $10.4 million, a record for an R movie. Thursday followed suit, with a final gross of $31.6 million — another R-rated record for biggest opening day ever. Many schools and colleges are now on break, audiences have been giving the flick an A- CinemaScore and not even tepid critical reviews can seem to stop the inevitable.

“We think it will crack $125 million,” BoxOffice.com editor Phil Contrino said. “Our prediction was $129 million, and that’s looking like a real possibility. These movies appeal to anyone who has ever greeted the morning with dry mouth and a splitting headache. But the films also have heart underneath all the raunchiness. They are about all the mixed feelings that people have before getting married. Do I like my spouse’s family? Do I really want to stop having fun?”

Other industry experts are not as convinced. David Poland of Movie City News is taking a wait-and-see approach while noting that anything over $100 million during the extended weekend would be considered a huge success. “The swing, with numbers this big, is $25-plus million in five days,” he said. “There’s no way to know how much of the must-see-or-die audience has been served by this huge Thursday. We can all guess, but we’re just guessing.”

Poland compared the “Hangover” sequel’s opening to the second “Matrix” and “Pirates of the Caribbean” films: The originals were surprise blockbusters and the follow-ups received a “mega-opening in response.” Helping spur audience excitement, he also noted, was a top-notch marketing campaign including exceptional TV spots. “I’ve seen the film and they make me want to see it again,” he said. “They do exactly what a sequel wants to do — click into the characters you love and promise more.”

All of this makes “The Hangover Part III” seem less like just a possibility than an unavoidability. Even last year’s “Due Date,” which director Todd Phillips shot between “Hangover” flicks, grossed $212 million worldwide. The guy can do no wrong for his studio. As Contrino put it, “He will be in a league of his own after this movie. Warner Bros. would let him film an adaptation of the phone book at this point just to keep him happy.”

So while the filmmaker continues to keep his studio bosses and audiences delighted, it doesn’t seem like he’ll start to give a hoot what critics — those who love him as well as those who hate him — think. “He knew that the nasty reviews for this were coming,” Poland said. “He doesn’t get the amount of space from critics that, for instance, Judd Apatow gets. So maybe that will be his secret goal, though I believe him completely when he says that he won’t start making other kinds of movies or adjusting what he thinks is funny just to get the critical love he wants. No ‘Funny People’ coming from Todd.”
