Scottis actor, Gerard Butler says that his role in P.S. I Love You, as a cancer victim has made him quit smoking:

The 300 star took the role as a huge hint he had to take better care of himself. He says, “I was smoking a huge amount and having real bad premonitions (of death), and then I get this role where the guy dies of cancer.”

“The film made me contemplate death and made me realize I was playing Russian roulette with my health. I’ve since stopped smoking. “And I think this is it… it’s been seven or eight months since I smoked.”

Way to go, Gerard! Keep up the good work!

One movie I have been dying to see is Hilary Swank’s P.S. I Love You, but not because of the subject matter. One of the first posts I wrote for this site was about the film, when the actress suffered injuries during a scene where co-star Gerard Butler does a strip-tease. A suspender flew through the air, smacked her in the forehead, and gave her stitches. That’s comedy gold that just can’t be re-created. Excuse me, ma’am — how did you get your scar? A suspender…

Finally, almost a year later, we’ve got a trailer to check out. To recap — the film is about a woman who is haunted by the ghost of her dead husband. Instead of exiting her life in a sudden clap, he has left her a series of messages to help her move on with her life. From the look of the trailer, the messages come in all shapes and sizes, and give her a list of tasks to complete, sort of like a treasure hunt out of mourning. Between the music and the tear-jerking aspects, I’m sure this will be a big romantic hit and rampant date movie — one just in time for the holiday season, since it comes out right before Christmas.

Beyond Swank and Butler, there’s a pretty solid cast to back the duo up — Prey for Rock ‘n’ Roll’s Gina Gershon, Buffy’s second tortured soul James Marsters, Friendly Lisa Kudrow, Grey’s Anatomy’s doomed Denny, Jeffrey Dean Morgan, Bug’s Harry Connick Jr. and the wonderful Kathy Bates. Sadly though, Marsters didn’t even get a mention in the trailer, although he’s one of the top billed. Hopefully this will give the actor some cinematic cred. Anyhow, there’s only a few months left to wait, and try not to get blind-sided by some flying suspenders in the meantime.

here ya go. Some of those pics show his bulging bits.

Butler, star of the breakout smash 300, is at the center of a plan to remake Escape From New York; he’d star as Snake Plissken, the one-eyed antihero charged with breaking into the maximum-security prison formerly known as Manhattan in order to rescue the trapped President. (The 1981 original starred Kurt Russell.) Following 300‘s $70 million debut over the weekend, studios are said to be battling over the project, which has a producer (Neil Moritz) and a writer (Ken Nolan, Black Hawk Down) already attached. A deal is expected to be finalized by this week.
