Watch: Capitol Crumbles Bit by Bit in 'White House Down' Featurette

Sat, 25 May 2013 05:00:17 EDT

Hot on the heels of a new poster for this summer's explosive action thriller White House Down, which features Channing Tatum in white tanktop like a certain action hero played by Bruce Willis, a cool new featurette goes behind the scenes with director Roland Emmerich. This time around, the filmmaker says it's the first time he doesn't just completely destroy Washington D.C. in one fell swoop, but rather tears it down bit by bit. So I guess that's a little bit better. There's some interview bits with the cast, including one of our favorites, Jason Clarke, and tons of the crew members. Plus, there's some new footage too. Watch! Here's the featurette for Roland Emmerich's White House Down from Yahoo: White House Down is directed by action mastermind Roland Emmerich (Independence Day, Godzilla, The Patriot, The Day After Tomorrow, 2012, Anonymous) from a screenplay written by James Vanderbilt (The Amazing Spider-Man, The Losers, Zodiac).

Early Edition: Javier Bardem Enters 'Dark Tower'; Sly Stallone Wants Walter Hill; Hugh Jac

Sat, 25 May 2013 03:21:41 EDT

Filed under: Movie News, CinematicalJavier Bardem is on his way to being a gunslinger again. He's in talks to star in Ron Howard's ambitious adaptation of Stephen King's 'The Dark Tower,' which will come to life as a movie trilogy and TV series. According to TheWrap, Bardem will play Roland Deschain, the last member of a knightly order of gunslingers who goes on a quest to find the Dark Tower, which connects all universes. King is working on the eighth book in the series, which has sold more than 30 million copies. Akiva Goldsman ('A Beautiful Mind,' 'The Da Vinci Code') adapted the script. Remember Walter Hill, who made a splash with 'The Warriors,' 'The Long Riders,' '48 Hrs.' and 'Streets of Fire' but who has been missing from the directing scene for almost a decade (he's been directing TV and producing)? Well, according to Deadline, Sylvester Stallone is eager to work with Hill on 'Headshot,' an action flick about a cop and a hitman who form an alliance in order to bring down a common enemy. Production on the film is slated to begin this summer. Continue Reading

New Featurette for WHITE HOUSE DOWN Goes Behind the Scenes of Roland Emmerich’s Actioner

Sat, 25 May 2013 03:21:40 EDT

Sony Pictures has released a new featurette for director Roland Emmerich’s upcoming actioner White House Down. The story follows a rejected Secret Service applicant (Channing Tatum) who must save the President (Jamie Foxx) when a heavily-armed paramilitary group takes over the White House. We saw in the most recent trailer that the pic has an almost buddy cop feel to it, and this featurette shows off a few new bits of footage that continue to be promising. We also get a fascinating look behind the scenes at the massive sets that Emmerich built in order to re-create the White House, as he shot almost exclusively on soundstages for the film. Hit the jump to watch the featurette, and if you missed any of Steve’s set visit coverage be sure to check out 35 things to know and his interviews with Tatum, Emmerich, producers Brad Fischer and Reid Carolin, producer Harold Kloser, and production designer Kirk M. Petruecelli. The film also stars Jason Clarke, James Woods, and Maggie Gyllenhaal and opens on June 28th. Via Yahoo Movies. Here’s the synopsis for White House Down: Capitol Policeman John Cale (Channing Tatum) has just been denied his dream job with the Secret Service of protecting President James Sawyer (Jamie Foxx). Not wanting to let down his little girl with the news, he takes her on a tour of the White House, when the complex is overtaken by a heavily armed paramilitary group. Now, with the nation’s government falling into chaos and time running out, it’s up to Cale ...

Sony Pictures Classics Picks Up Jarmusch's Only Lovers Left Alive

Sat, 25 May 2013 03:21:40 EDT

On the night before its Cannes Film Festival premiere, Sony Pictures Classics have announced that they have picked up the North American distribution rights for Only Lovers Left Alive , the new movie from New York City auteur Jim Jarmusch ( Stranger than Paradise , Down by Law , Broken Flowers ), which is a romantic thriller starring Tilda Swinton, Tom Hiddleston, Mia Wasikowska, John Hurt, Anton Yelchin and Jeffrey Wright. SPC has also provided us with a plot summary that doesn't mention the word "vampire" anywhere in it although that doesn't necessarily mean this isn't Jarmusch's "vampire movie": "Only Lovers Left Alive takes place against the romantic desolation of Detroit and Tangier and follows an underground musician, deeply depressed by the...

Baz Luhrmann Passed on Directing 'Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone'

Sat, 25 May 2013 03:21:38 EDT

While promoting his latest interpretation of a classic work, “The Great Gatsby,” director Baz Luhrmann revealed that he once had a chance to adapt an even more lucrative feature: “Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone.” During an interview on Britain's “The Graham Norton Show,” Luhrmann discussed how after he directed Warner Bros.'s “Romeo + Juliet,” the studio approached him with an offer to helm the first “Harry Potter” film. Luhrmann admitted that since he was unfamiliar with Rowling's then fairly new books -- and in the midst of planning his next feature -- he turned down the job. “The first one came along and they rang me, and while I love the pictures and the books now, then I thought, ‘What's that?' And said, ‘Well that sounds interesting, but I'm thinking of doing a reinvention of the modern musical,' and that was ‘Moulin Rouge,'” Luhrmann said. “So I'm an obvious idiot, because I should have taken ‘Harry Potter.'” Indeed, it's fun to imagine what Luhrmann would have brought to the series. While Chris Columbus -- who directed “Sorcerer's Stone” -- took an overly faithful approach to his interpretation that many critics agreed lacked some luster, Luhrmann no doubt would have pumped his film full of adrenaline. Might he have made Harry, Ron, and Hermione sing and dance? Would his trademark frenetic camera work and penchant for flashy flourishes have lent itself well to the Quidditch and spell-casting? Whatever approach Luhrmann might have taken, he's no doubt wishing he had some magic of his own to help him go back in time and rethink his decision. While “Moulin Rouge” helped usher in a new age of Hollywood musicals, it made just over $179 million at the worldwide box office, compared to the $7 billion total of the eight “Potter” films.

Chinese Visual Festival ’13: The Transition Period (2009)

Sat, 25 May 2013 03:21:35 EDT

Part of his series exploring institutions in China, Zhou Hao’s remarkable 2009 documentary “The Transition Period” offers an amazingly frank look at the workings of the Chinese government as it follows a civil servant during his last three months as party secretary of an underdeveloped county. Guo Yongchang is the politician in question, the party secretary of the Committee of the Communist Party of Gushi County in Xinyang Municipality of Henan Province, which has a population of around 1.6 million spread across 32 smaller towns. As with other counties, Gushi is administered by both a county government and a county party committee. In the film, Zhou reveals the many complexities of Guo’s job and the way in which personal relations often take precedence over regulations in Chinese politics, depicting the constant manipulation needed to keep farmers, workers and other factions onside, and the level to which rules are treated as flexible in the face of practicalities and in the name

‘The Act of Killing’ Trailer May Change the Way You Think About Onscreen Death

Sat, 25 May 2013 03:21:34 EDT

At the heart of Joshua Oppenheimer’s new documentary, The Act of Killing, is an interesting experiment. The general conceit is that he’s contacting mass murderers who are living in a culture that celebrates rather than vilifies their crimes against humanity, and he’s challenging them to film reenactments of the murders they’ve carried out in their real lives, but in the dramatic film genre of their choice. As you can see in the new trailer for the doc, some of their short films end up looking like crime films, some experimental art films, and some gaudy Bollywood musicals, but the tie that binds them all together is that they’re really disturbing to watch, and they just may leave you examining how you react to the murder you see so frequently projected up on the big screen, and why it is you react the way you do. Even if you’re not in the mood for introspection and serious subject matter, there appears to be just enough genre-bending absurdity in this movie for it to appeal to film geeks who just like watching movies about movies as well. This may be a little bit heavier than the regular type of project that Drafthouse Films distributes, but it still appears to be weird enough to fit right in with everything else that’s to their tastes. And, heck, the movie is showing off Werner Herzog and Errol Morris’ names in its credits. If nothing else, that’s got to get your attention. The Act of Killing

Simpsons creator Matt Groening has previously chosen not to license Duff Beer, concerned it would encourage kids to drink. But the press release promises, "And yes – there will be Duff Beer, brewed exclusively for Universal Orlando."

'Star Trek 13': What Will Happen Next?

Fri, 24 May 2013 10:20:24 EDT

With "Star Trek Into Darkness" at the top of the box office right now, die-hard Trekkies have only one thing on their minds: What's next?! J.J. Abrams's revamped take on the space-exploring franchise has introduced Kirk, Spock, and Bones to a whole new generation of viewers -- but with the director's plan to take on a new episode of "Star Wars," where does it leave the brainchild of Gene Roddenberry? Obviously, we haven't seen the last of "Star Trek," but what form will its next adventure take? Which characters will make their presence felt? And when will we get to see it? As we boldly step into uncharted new territory, Moviefone asked a panel of leading "Star Trek" experts for their insights into the future of the series. With a little bit of detective work, their theories shed the first light on what will happen next on-screen and off. Anthony Pascale, TrekMovie I expect that Paramount will target the 50th anniversary and get the next movie out for the summer of 2016. The core team of Abrams, Burk, Orci, Kurtzman, and Lindelof will all be back as producers or executive producers, but there may be new creative as well, certainly a new director –- likely someone in Abrams's circle of trust who will continue with the same feel of the first two films. I hope they continue what they did with "Into Darkness" and tell an allegorical story that makes people think about our current society, although that doesn't have to be done on Earth. I think there will be a debate on if they should do something entirely new, such as a new adversary race, or develop their own spin on something already established from the canon (like The Borg, The Dominion, The Gorn, etc). My view is that "Star Trek" is different than superhero movies where they expect you to use the characters from the comic books. "Star Trek" is about exploring today's human condition through the lens of exploring strange new worlds, emphasis on "new." So I think the fans would welcome Abrams' team fully embracing their new universe and telling us a story entirely of their making. Just make sure to drop enough fun Trek tidbits along the way. And, more importantly, I think we should see these characters continue their arcs towards becoming the heroes that we knew from the original show, but not limited to that because they are different and are allowed to stretch them in new and interesting ways. (All that and a really cool space battle. You need one of those!) Brian Wilkins, Editor, TrekNews.net The franchise has an important anniversary rapidly approaching. In just two years, "Star Trek" will turn 50. According to my sources, Paramount is targeting the summer of 2016 for the release of the next film to coincide with the golden anniversary. Where the story goes from here is really anyone's guess. I'm sure Abrams, along with screenwriters Damon Lindelof, Roberto Orci, and Alex Kurtzman, have a basic outline for the Enterprise crew's next on-screen outing. However, those plans aren't set in stone and direction could change at any time. Moviegoers may have picked up on a few hints of what the future may hold. Following Starfleet's off-the-record manhunt that took Kirk, Spock, and Uhura past the neutral zone and onto the Klingon home world of Kronos, Admiral Marcus ominously told Kirk that "War is coming." With an already turbulent relationship with Starfleet and the "warrior race" making relatively small appearances in both the 2009 and 2013 films, a logical way to end the trilogy would be an all out battle between them and arguably Star Trek's best known villain: the Klingon Empire. I'd say it's safe to assume that we'll see some aesthetic updates made to the NCC-1701 during her next big screen appearance. Regardless of the adventure or the release date, the next film will ultimately determine the direction the franchise for years to come. Chris Wales, TrekCore “There are very few people who know really what the long-term plans are with Star Trek.” So said Brian Miller, Senior VP at Paramount in an interview with TrekCore last month, before quickly adding his own name to the list of people in the know. Putting J.J. Abrams into the director's chair for the latest films could hardly be a clearer statement of intent: while Hollywood's rapidly-rising director has turned his hand to the A-class of summer blockbusters, he's actually far more at home on the small screen, taking novel concepts and turning them into genre favorites like "Lost" and "Alias." Which is why Star Trek's future will be back on the television. Recent reports have suggested that the unfathomable decision to split the TV rights to the show from the film rights have placed holders CBS and Paramount at loggerheads, at least when it comes to rolling out Abrams's vision for the future of the franchise. It would certainly explain his seemingly bizarre decision to sign up for "Star Wars." So where next? The original plan had to take Abrams's shiny new universe and launch at least one related TV series, probably around the time of the third film. Given the already impressive résumés of the cast, we clearly can't expect to see the Enterprise and its new crew appear in a new series (save for the odd cameo, anyway). This brings us to the question of Star Trek's soul (its katra, you might say). The two new movies to date have been full of both sound and fury but both felt somewhat absent when it came to "Star Trek's" most unique quality: its moral core. Creator Gene Roddenberry himself used to explain that episodes were “like short Bible stories”: most often an exploration of some of the most fundamental questions about humanity and our existence, coated in a sweet sci-fi frosting. Abrams has enough good writers around him who appreciate the show to ensure that the final chapter of his trilogy is much closer to the sort of story-telling" Star Trek" is known for. "Star Trek" will be back on TV, a spin-off from the main films that will have a tie-in to some facet of the next film; the movie cast and the ship will appear in at least the pilot. This will all happen around 2015, 2016 at the latest. And whilst it will look completely different to anything you've seen before, it will at least feel like a family member among the others, rather than an impostor bearing the name. As Brian Miller said at the outset: there are very few people who know what the long-term plans are. But there are most definitely plans. Bonnie Malmat, TrekToday I would like to see the third "Star Trek" movie delve into the ramifications of the loss of the Vulcan and Romulan homeworlds. The militarization of Starfleet as a result of Nero's actions in "Star Trek" (2009) was addressed in "Star Trek Into Darkness," but how is the Federation affected by the loss of one of its founding planets? How do the Vulcan address the loss of their homeworld and the need to quickly build up their population to avoid the loss of their race? What about mixed couples? Would Vulcans be encouraged to breed with other Vulcans at the expense of those relationships? Could the destruction of both Romulus and Vulcan mean a reunification of the Romulans and Vulcans due to the need for both races to build population and avoid extinction? Would this be possible, politically and, if so, how would that affect the Federation? Would the Vulcans on New Vulcan turn inwards and become less interested in Starfleet and the galaxy at large? Or would they not want to lose their influence in Starfleet? Another topic would be how the destruction of a major enemy (Romulus) would affect Starfleet. Would the Klingons expand into their former areas, or would other antagonist races take the opportunity to fill the vacuum left by the destruction of Romulus? Gustavo Leao, TrekWeb Abrams will only produce because of his duties as director of "Star Wars: Episode VII," so the quality of "Star Trek XIII" is in the hands of the new director who hopefully understands "Trek" -- Bryan Singer? Chris Nolan? Nick Meyer? Bill Shatner LOL ? Sound off in the comments: What will happen next with the "Star Trek" franchise?

The Godfather helmer is preparing to direct an as yet untitled film described as both a coming-of-age tale and a multi-decade family saga, [...]

Roman Polanski's Rarely Seen Formula 1 Racing Doc 'Weekend of a Champion' Is Restored

Fri, 24 May 2013 10:20:19 EDT

In May 1971, Roman Polanski went to Monaco with documentarian Frank Simon to shadow the world's greatest Formula 1 racer, Jackie Stewart. The result, a personable chronicle in which Polanski appears on camera casually chatting with Simon and hearing about his craft, never received a proper U.S. release. Rarely screened around the world, "Weekend of a Champion" was praised by racing enthusiasts but otherwise remained a near-mythological sidenote to the more significant credits Polanski accrued during that major period of his career. Four years ago, Polanski learned that the negative of the film was going to be destroyed in the U.K. and decided to salvage it by heading up a restoration. Now, an updated version of "Weekend of a Champion," including some 15 minutes of modern day footage added tacked onto the end -- has premiered at the Cannes Film Festival. Sales company Submarine Entertainment is currently shopping around theatrical rights, but Brett Ratner's production company plans to...

The Hangover Part III (2013) Movie Review

Fri, 24 May 2013 10:20:19 EDT

Sandwiched between blockbuster superhero movies and epic science fiction adventures, this summer at the movies also delivers the close of the so-called “Wolf Pack” trilogy. “The Hangover Part III” closes out the lucrative franchise with the most tedious, supremely unfunny installment yet. Walking out of the theater we can all be glad that this is finally over. The best you can say is that at least it wasn’t a simple rehash, like the sequel. You can forgive almost anything in a comedy if, you know, it makes you laugh. And though “The Hangover Part III” elicits a few minor chuckles—and we’re talking minor—that’s all it has going for it. The film even manages to make Melissa McCarthy and John Goodman, two of the funniest people currently alive, totally drab and uninteresting. For a moment you think they’re going to throw caution to the wind and unleash the kind of raucous, hard R rated comedy that made the first movie so

Review: ‘Furious 6′ Redefines Ridiculous In Its Escalating War On Logic and the Laws of

Fri, 24 May 2013 10:20:18 EDT

It seems every summer is ruled by comic book movies these days, and 2013 is set to be no different. Iron Man 3 fired the first shot, and titles like Man of Steel and The Wolverine are waiting in the wings. One big film curiously missing from the conversation though is Furious Six, but just because its characters aren’t splayed across the covers of Marvel or DC comics doesn’t mean they’re not indestructible superheroes here to save the day. O’Connor (Paul Walker) and Dom (Vin Diesel) are living it up in Spain alongside their honeys (Jordana Brewster and Elsa Pataky respectively) thanks to the massive score from their adventure in Rio. Their hulking nemesis Hobbs (Dwayne Johnson) appears on their doorstep one morning with a simple deal. If they help him catch a criminal scourge who’s been stealing top secret military hardware and breaking traffic laws then Hobbs will grant them all full pardons back in the USA. The icing on the muscle car-shaped cake is a recent photo he shows them of Dom’s ex, the long thought dead Letty (Michelle Rodriguez), who’s now running with the bad guy. Fans of Fast Five will be thrilled to know that the ridiculously over the top antics here make that film look like a pledge-week episode of NPR’s Car Talk. And yeah, I know that’s a radio show. It’s bigger, dumber and more fun than its predecessor, and it knows exactly what its audience wants. That last bit can’t salvage the film’s

Gael Garcia Bernal to Lead Jon Stewart's Directorial Debut 'Rosewater'

Earlier this year, we learned that Jon Stewart would take a break this summer from hosting "The Daily Show" on Comedy Central to get behind the camera for his feature directorial debut. Stewart is getting ready to shoot Rosewater, an adaptation of the Maziar Bahari's book Then They Came For Me: A Family’s Story Of Love, Captivity And Survival, which he also wrote himself. The film chronicles the harrowing journey the BBC journalist had to endure when he left London to cover Iran's presidential elections in 2009, and now The Wrap reports Mexican actor Gael Garcia Bernal has landed the lead role in the drama.

OZ THE GREAT AND POWERFUL Producer Picks up Rights for THE SCHOOL OF GOOD AND EVIL

Thu, 23 May 2013 17:30:28 EDT

Producer Joe Roth does enjoy his fairy-tale reimaginings. His recent films including Alice in Wonderland, Snow White and the Huntsman, Oz the Great and Powerful, and the upcoming Maleficent, which is the tale of Sleeping Beauty told from the villain's perspective. Since Alice and Oz were both monster hits, it's not surprise that Roth is now planning another fairy-tale* movie. According to Deadline, Roth has picked up the rights for Soman Chainani's new young adult novel, The School for Good and Evil. The story takes place in a school where students are chosen and trained to become heroes or villains. The beautiful Sophie expects to be a princess in the School for Good while her homely best friend Agatha readies herself to be a witch in the School for Evil. But when they arrive, their roles are reversed. It sounds like a fun premise that's reminiscent of the opening of Wicked. The book is the first in a planned trilogy, so Universal Pictures' seven-figure deal makes even more sense when a potential franchise is at stake. Deadline reports that Chainani will co-write the script with her former screenwriting professor Malia Scotch Marmo (Hook). Hit the jump for the official synopsis of The School for Good and Evil. Here's the official synopsis for Soman Chainani's The School for Good and Evil: At the School for Good and Evil, failing your fairy tale is not an option.

Quicksilver in 'X-Men: Days of Future Past': Evan Peters Cast as Magneto's Son

Thu, 23 May 2013 17:30:22 EDT

Looks like Joss Whedon will be following Bryan Singer's lead after all: Singer just announced that Quicksilver will appear in “X-Men: Days of Future Past.” Whedon first teased the possibility of using twins Quicksilver and Scarlet Witch in his follow-up to “The Avengers” back in April, confirming the news earlier this month. At the time, there was some speculation that the duo could theoretically also pop up in “Days of Future Past,” since both Fox and Disney own the rights to the villains-turned-heroes. Now, Singer's announcement on Twitter Thursday that Evan Peters (“Kick Ass”) has been cast to play the superfast Quicksilver has turned that probability into a certainty. Before he was an #Avenger, he was just a REALLY fast kid. Thrilled to say #EvanPeters is joining #XMen #DaysOfFuturePast as #Quicksilver.— Bryan Singer (@BryanSinger) May 23, 2013 Quicksilver and Scarlet Witch are the children of “X-Men” villain Magneto, and first appear in the Marvel universe as antagonists before joining forces with the Avengers. Judging by their presence in “Days of Future Past,” Singer's looking to focus on their early, evil days. Not only will Singer be first in getting his version of the twins into multiplexes -- “Days” debuts July 14, 2014, while “The Avengers 2” isn't due until May 1, 2015 -- but he's also beaten Whedon to the punch in casting. While Peters is a lock for “Days,” there's been no confirmation on who will play either of the twins in “Avengers 2,” aside from some recent reports that Whedon has based his characterization of Scarlet Witch on Irish actress Saoirse Ronan. For her part, Ronan would be happy to join the “Avengers” team, telling The Mary Sue she would take the part if offered. “I love Joss and I love those films, and I love his handle on them and how he portrayed these kinds of superheroes,” she said. “I think it's very different from what anyone else has done. So yeah, I'd love to be in it.” [via Twitter and ScreenCrush]

Fast and Furious 6 (2013) Movie Review

Thu, 23 May 2013 17:30:19 EDT

If you were still clinging to the wacky notion that the “Fast and Furious” franchise is somehow connected to the real world, you should have that silly idea slapped free when the first character in the movie flies through the air. Yes, I said the first character in the movie flies through the air. Like Superman, only more invincible. “Fast and Furious 6″, the latest entry in the car racing turned caper film franchise, is just as daft as the previous installment, which as you’ll recall ended with Dom and Brian dragging a giant vault between their two vehicles as they set about destroying half of Downtown Rio de Janeiro. For “Fast and Furious 6″, director Justin Lin has doubled the insanity and collateral damage and even tossed in a tank for good measure. “Fast and Furious 6″ finds Dom (Vin Diesel) and Brian (Paul Walker) pulled out of retirement in an extradition-free country by global hopping lawman Hobbs (Dwayne

James Franco Continues His Film Critic Aspirations By Telling VICE Readers He Loves 'Leviathan&

A week after defending "The Great Gatsby" in a written review, James Franco has continued his aspirations to add film critic to his seemingly endless list of hyphenates, this time offering up his take on Lucien Castaing-Taylor and Verena Paravel's "Leviathan" (which actually has been in theaters since early March, but I guess Franco has the power to pretty much review whatever he wants, whenever he wants). Once again writing for VICE Magazine, Franco makes clear from the get-go that he's in love with the documentary -- which focuses on the commercial fishing industry of the North Atlantic -- titling the review "'Leviathan,' I Love You: A Few Impressions." After a few paragraphs detailing the context of the evening he saw the film (including, somewhat needlessly, the fact that he's currently listening to Daft Punk and reading "Extra Lives: Why Video Games Matter"), Franco officially begins his love letter to Castaing-Taylor and Paravel's film (and to "Moby Dick"): I'm the biggest...

Take a Ride with Composer Lucas Vidal and the Vroom-acris Music of ‘Fast & Furious 6&prime

Thu, 23 May 2013 17:30:17 EDT

What is a car race without music? A bunch of gears shifting and tires screeching, and while NASCAR may prove that can certainly be entertaining, when you are watching a race on the big screen, you need the additional adrenaline only driving music can provide. Just like you naturally hit the gas a little harder when a good song comes on the radio, the action on screen is elevated when you pair it with music that makes you want to jump in your own car and hit that NOS button. The Fast and Furious franchise is known for its rap and rock tracks (and having its race crew populated with some of the artists behind these songs – shout out to you, Luda), but the score in these films is almost an unsung hero, keeping up the pulse in every scene whether our favorite characters are in, or out, of their cars. The latest entry in the franchise, Fast & Furious 6 , brings a new composer into the mix, Spanish-born Lucas Vidal, who has created a score that is just as engaging and pulse-pounding as the songs provided by the more well-known artists. Vidal is a young composer on the rise, and he takes the reins from Fast composer Brian Tyler here, but does so by paying homage to the music and themes Tyler created while still bringing his own style to the music. I spoke with Vidal about how he got involved with the franchise, his process of combining the past with the present, and what it was

Universal Still Plans to Remake Jean-Claude Van Damme's 'Timecop'

Thu, 23 May 2013 04:41:37 EDT

With what might be a sign of studios finally running out of 80s films to throw into the reboot machine, Universal is bringing back a 1994 film to the big screen with a fresh take. THR has word the studio is still developing a remake of Timecop, the sci-fi action thriller starring Jean-Claude Van Damme as an officer of a police force that regulates time travel. In the original film, a crooked politician is using time travel to further his political career, and Van Damme is tasked with stopping him. The film was actually based on a Dark Horse comic book serial (two-issue series), so this adaptation could be something more like the comic. Here's the trailer for the original 1994 version of Timecop from director Peter Hyams: For my money, time travel films are always interesting when you start digging into the approach to the sci-fi element.

In Defense of Keanu Reeves

Thu, 23 May 2013 00:43:00 EDT

Filed under: Cinematical In reviewing Keanu Reeves' latest film, 'Henry's Crime,' critic Rex Reed snipes, "the only surprise in it is finding Keanu Reeves in a role that requires some acting. The movie is not great, but the star is not bad. This, in some quarters, is high praise indeed." Reed's certainly not alone: A large chunk of the moviegoing public would agree, that Keanu guy just can't act. Maybe it's because he's so darn good looking that he fails to get any respect. Or because it's so easy to peg him as that "excellent" dude from 'Bill and Ted's Adventure.' (A third film is in the works, by the way.) Continue Reading

Universal to Reboot TIMECOP; Jean Claude Van Damme Not Involved

Thu, 23 May 2013 00:41:52 EDT

Universal is taking a jump back in time to reboot director Peter Hyams' 1994 sci-fi film Timecop, starring Jean Claude Van Damme. In the original film, time travel existed in 2004 (must have missed that development) and Timecops were employed to prevent criminals from messing with the time-stream for ill-gotten gain. Van Damme's character, Walker, happened to run afoul of a crooked politician (Ron Silver) doing just that. The studio is looking to do an original reboot with a reworked concept; the project is currently out to writers. Van Damme is not involved with the project, but whoever they get to star best be able to do the splits. Hit the jump to watch the trailer for the 1994 original.

Prepare to get annihilated -- and maybe a little hungover, too. The team behind “Shaun of the Dead” and “Hot Fuzz” is bringing us their latest horror-comedy flick, “The World's End.” Five childhood friends reunite after 20 years to finish an epic pub crawl in their hometown. But soon, they realize, “It's not us that changed. It's the town!” -- which has been taken over by killer robots. Can the friends finish their bar crawl and save the world at the same time? As a new American trailer shows, Edgar Wright and star Simon Pegg once again make very funny and very entertaining magic together. The dialogue is as sharp and witty as their previous collaborations. “A) we're all drunk, b) we've got blood on our hands,” Pegg says of the friends escaping back to London. “It's more like ink,” amends Eddie Marsan. “We've got ink on our hands!” “The World's End” also stars Paddy Considine, Martin Freeman, Nick Frost, and Rosamund Pike, and takes over theaters August 23.

Music documentaries are seemingly a dime-a-dozen, with nearly every artist, genre, or subculture worth discussing having some sort of coverage. It can make it difficult to determine what is actually worth watching and what's not, but thankfully Pitchfork rose to the occasion and compiled a handy list of 20 music docs that both merit their existence and are currently streaming online. Some, such as 1996's examination of the grunge movement Hype!, are considered to be classics of the form, whereas others explore musical curiosities such as Jandek and G.G.

SIFF ’13 Review: Frances Ha (2012)

Thu, 23 May 2013 00:41:47 EDT

Watching his films, you might get the impression that director Noah Baumbach is a dyed in the wool pessimist. While movies like “Greenberg,” “The Squid and the Whale,” and my personal favorite, the underrated “Kicking and Screaming,” have sharp bitter edges, his latest, “Frances Ha,” is his most hopeful, least combative work to date. The fact that this is collaboration with star Greta Gerwig might have something to do with that, and the events are largely autobiographical on her side of the equation. If a purportedly true-to-life tale about aimless upper middle class twenty-somethings striving to find direction in their lives makes you want to run screaming for the hills, then by all means, avoid “Frances Ha” like a pox-ridden leper. Because that’s exactly what this movie is, and it embodies the inherent positives and negatives in such a scenario. At the core, the story is about friendship, chiefly between Frances (Gerwig) and her college BFF Sophie (Mickey Sumner), and

Why Television Has Become the Medium Fueling Important Conversations About Sex

Thu, 23 May 2013 00:41:46 EDT

It was a classic moment in pop culture history: Marge Simpson -- sitting up in bed watching television -- turns to Homer and says, "You know, Fox turned into a hardcore sex channel so gradually, I didn't even notice." And while Fox hasn't quite yet moved all their production to the Valley, Marge called it back in 1995: as the number of steamy scenes seems to be on the decline in mainstream film, they're finding more and more of a home on the small screen. These days, it's not just that there's tons of sex on television -- it's how explicit it's getting, particularly on cable. And maybe that's a good thing. As far as we've come in connecting, understanding and relating to our sexuality -- to the point where we're reading "50 Shades of Grey" on the subway and "Sex and the City" now seems tame -- our society still deals with a considerable amount of shame, confusion and discomfort surrounding sexual expression. While "50 Shades" (currently ramping up to a high profile film adaptation...

Zac Efron Is Not to be Trusted in ‘Narc’

Thu, 23 May 2013 00:41:45 EDT

It’s clear what you’re thinking. “How could anyone as perfectly quaffed and frequently shirtless as Zac Efron be anything other than a totally trustworthy person?” It’s a valid question, but one that’s going to be put to the test as Fox asks him to tap into his traitorous side to star in a new project they’re putting together called Narc. To be penned by studio-employed scribe Grant Meyers, Narc is being described as a college-set Donnie Brasco, which essentially means that it’s taking the plot of Donnie Brasco and changing it so that the studio can exclusively cast attractive young people—which isn’t really a bad idea at all. To be more specific, the story will see Efron playing the big man on campus—president of the binge drinkers, captain of the game players, and all that—whose life hits a snag one day when he’s busted on the way to a party carrying a large amount of cocaine. The police then make a deal with the kid that he won’t go down as long as he becomes their informant and starts wearing a wire to his social gatherings, which reportedly leads to the arrests of some big time criminals, but which would in reality just lead to hours and hours of recorded conversations about the latest viral videos, which girls in the sorority house next door are DTF, and how many kegs of Busch Light are going to be needed for the weekend. I mean, do you remember the types of conversations

"Surrender within 24 hours, or watch this world suffer the consequences." Out of nowhere, one more threat from Michael Shannon as villain General Zod has surfaced in a trailer for Man of Steel. With a whole slew of new footage featuring the alien villain threatening Earth and the last son of Krypton, this trailer is even better than the full length trailer that came out about a month ago.

Variety reports that Riggle is in talks to play the lead baddie in the upcoming reboot of '21 Jump Street,' which will star Channing Tatum and Jonah Hill.

Zac Efron to Star in NARC As a College Student Turned Police Informant; Dennis Lehane to Pen Screenp

Wed, 22 May 2013 00:31:35 EDT

Fox has picked up the life rights for true crime project, Narc, with Zac Efron (The Paperboy) set to star. Efron will change it up from his run of rom-coms and play a college kid busted for cocaine who turns rat for the authorities. He manages to continue his life as a student, fraternity president and lacrosse team captain, all while helping cops bust the bad guys on the downlow. Deadline reports that Narc is being described as a college version of Donnie Brasco and that Fox will tap a screenwriter from the studio's writers program. Hit the jump for the latest news on the crime picture, Travis McGee, starring Leonardo DiCaprio. THR reports that Dennis Lehane will write the screenplay for Travis McGee, which is based on John D. MacDonald’s 1964 mystery novel The Deep Blue Good-by. The novel is the first in a 21-book series which features the salvage consultant Travis McGee. The studio is looking to kickstart a possible franchise. Dana Stevens and Kario Salem penned an earlier draft. This marks the fourth pairing for Lehane and DiCaprio, and the first film treatment for Lehane that is not an adaptation of one of his own works. It's been more than three years since last we reported on Travis McGee, when DiCaprio was attempting to interest Oliver Stone in the picture. Here's the book's description (via Amazon): Travis McGee is a self-described beach bum who won his houseboat in a card game. He’s also a knight-errant who’s wary of credit cards, retirement benefits, political parties, mortgages, and television. He only works ...

'Return of the Jedi': 25 Things You Didn't Know About the Original 'Star Wars&#0

Wed, 22 May 2013 00:31:33 EDT

A long time ago, in a galaxy far, far away... well, OK, 30 years ago (on May 25, 1983) in our own galaxy, came the theatrical release of "Star Wars: Episode VI - Return of the Jedi." The installment triumphantly wrapped up the "Star Wars" saga for all time. Or so we thought. Little did we know that the movie's cuddly-but-ferocious Ewoks would soon spawn a cottage industry of spinoffs, or that we'd be getting a trilogy of "Star Wars" prequels in another 16 years, and "Jedi" sequels another 15 years after that ("Episode VII" is due in 2014). Nor did we know, at the time, how close "Jedi" came to being an art-house film (judging by the directors whom "Star Wars" guru George Lucas initially asked to take the helm), or how close we came to losing Han Solo (Harrison Ford), or many of the other secrets of "jedi," which you can read below. 1. David Lynch and David Cronenberg both turned down the job of directing "Jedi." Instead, Lynch would go on to make his own sci-fi epic, 1984's "Dune," while Cronenberg would make the hit horror films "The Dead Zone" (1983) and "The Fly" (1986). 2. Welsh filmmaker Richard Marquand had previously directed the 1981 World War II spy thriller "Eye of the Needle." It was that film that brought him to the attention of George Lucas and ultimately earned him the directing job on "Jedi." 3. Lawrence Kasdan had worked for Lucas as the co-screenwriter of "Star Wars: Episode V – The Empire Strikes Back" and "Raiders of the Lost Ark" before Lucas hired him a third time as his collaborator on the "Jedi" screenplay. Somewhere in there, Kasdan found time to write and direct his first solo feature, the 1981 thriller "Body Heat," the movie that made Kathleen Turner a star. 4. Warwick Davis, then 11, made his debut as Ewok guide Wicket, after his grandmother learned of an open casting call for dwarfs in London. Davis was initially cast as an extra. Wicket was initially a role for Kenny Baker, who already had an established role as R2-D2 (he would inhabit the little droid in all six "Star Wars" features to date), but Baker fell ill, and Lucas gave his part to Davis. Baker ended up playing another Ewok in addition to R2-D2. 5. Lucas was on the set most of the time, often as a second-unit director (that is, shooting scenery, stunt sequences, and other footage not involving the primary cast). Marquand joked, "It is rather like trying to direct "King Lear" – with Shakespeare in the next room!" 6. Unlike the other principal "Star Wars" cast members, Harrison Ford hadn't contracted to do a second sequel, and it wasn't initially clear whether he'd return for "Jedi." 7. Ford suggested that Han Solo be killed off early, through self-sacrifice. Kasdan thought that was a good idea, one that would increase suspense, but Lucas said no. 8. Also, Yoda wasn't supposed to be in the movie, but Marquand insisted on a return to Dagobah so that Yoda could confirm that Darth Vader wasn't just playing mind games with Luke Skywalker in "The Empire Strikes Back" and was really his father. 9. Other rejected script ideas: the climactic battle would have taken place on a planet of Wookiees instead of Ewoks (like Wookiees, but shorter!), and Obi-Wan Kenobi would have returned from his ghostly existence to corporeal form, rather than remaining a ghostly presence within the Force. 10. Actually filmed, but left on the cutting room floor, were a sequence of the heroes getting caught in a sandstorm as they tried to leave Tatooine, a scene among imperial officers on the Death Star during the final battle, and a scene of Darth Vader communicating with Luke via the Force before Luke enters Jabba's palace. These scenes finally saw the light of day on the 2011 Blu-ray release. 11. While shooting on location, "Jedi" used the fake working title "Blue Harvest." That was to keep plot spoilers from leaking, and to prevent local vendors from price-gouging the filmmakers. 12. To shoot the forest chase, Steadicam inventor Garrett Brown walked through the California's Jebediah Smith Redwood State Park, shooting at less than one frame per second. Sped up to the standard 24 frames per second, the resulting footage made it look like speeding through the dense woods at 120 mph. (The speeders were superimposed later.) 13. Other scenes set on the forest moon of Endor were shot practically in Lucas's backyard, in the redwood forest near Skywalker Ranch in Marin County, California. 14. In late 1982, a teaser trailer and posters referred to the film as "Revenge of the Jedi." (The poster also incorrectly depicted Luke with a red-beamed lightsaber and Darth Vader with a blue one, instead of the other way around.) After Lucas decided that "Revenge" was inappropriate, changed the title to "Return," and sold the 6,800 remaindered posters to fans. Today, of course, they're collector's items. 15. "Jedi" ends with a sequence of Ewoks marking their victory over the empire by dancing and singing. The tune they sing is known as "Ewok Celebration." "Star Wars" instrumental composer John Williams wrote the music. The "yub-yub" lyrics were written by his son, Joseph Williams, who was then the lead singer of Toto. A version of the song performed by electronic artist Meco hit No. 60 on the Billboard chart. 16. Lucas's digital re-tinkering with "Return of the Jedi" in subsequent re-releases on home video altered some memorable scenes. There were more alien musicians playing in Jabba's lair, the Sarlaac (the pit monster on Tatooine) acquired a beak, and the fall of the Empire was marked by a montage of various alien worlds celebrating. Most notoriously, the ghost of Anakin Skywalker was changed from the broken old man seen beneath Darth Vader's helmet (played by Sebastian Shaw) to the young Hayden Christensen, who played the pre-Vader Anakin in Episodes II and III. 17. The film was nominated for four Oscars, including Best Art Direction, Best Sound Effects Editing, Best Original Score, and Best Sound. It won a special prize out of competition for its visual effects. 18. As with the first two "Star Wars" films, a radio version eventually aired on NPR. The 1986 radio play featured Anthony Daniels reprising his role as C-3PO, but other characters were played by new actors. Among them were John Lithgow as Yoda, Brock Peters ("To Kill a Mockingbird") as Darth Vader, Ed Begley Jr. as Boba Fett, and Ed Asner as Jabba the Hutt. 19. "Jedi" cost $32.5 million to make, a large budget for a 1983 movie. It grossed $252.6 million domestically in its initial release, and another $57 million on subsequent releases. Its worldwide gross over the years totals $475.1 million. 20. Marquand followed up "Jedi" with the hit courtroom thriller "Jagged Edge" (1985), starring Glenn Close and Jeff Bridges. He made one more movie, 1987 drama "Hearts of Fire," featuring a rare acting performance by Bob Dylan, but he suffered a stroke and heart attack, and died before it was released. He was 49. 21. Four months after "Jedi" came the release of Lawrence Kasdan's second writing/directing effort, "The Big Chill," a movie considered a cinema landmark despite its lack of Ewoks and space battles. He went on to make such celebrated movies as "The Accidental Tourist" and "The Bodyguard" (a script finally shot 20 years after he first tried to sell it). His most recent movie was 2012's "Darling Companion," with Kevin Kline and Diane Keaton. 22. Lucas oversaw two Ewok-themed spinoff projects, both of which debuted as made-for-TV movies. In 1984's "The Ewok Adventure" (a.k.a. "Caravan of Courage: An Ewok Adventure"), the fuzzy folk rescue a family of shipwrecked space travelers. In 1985's "Ewoks: The Battle for Endor" (a.k.a. "Star Wars: Ewok Adventures – The Battle for Endor") the orphaned girl from the previous movie joins the wee warriors in defending their moon against alien invaders. Both take place during the time between Episodes V and VI and are therefore technically "Jedi" prequels. Warwick Davis has said a third Ewok movie was planned but never filmed. 23. The Ewoks also got their own animated TV series, "Star Wars: Ewoks," which aired 35 episodes from 1985 to '86. It also took place during the interval between "Empire" and "Jedi." 24. Lucas and Davis reteamed yet again for the Lucas-produced fantasy film "Willow" (1998), in which Davis had the role of the title hero and acted with his face visible for the first time. Davis would go on to star in the title role in the "Leprechaun" horror series and play cameos in the three "Star Wars" prequel films. Davis would spoof himself and his "Jedi"-derived fame in 2012 as the star of the Ricky Gervais-penned mockumentary series "Life's Too Short." 25. The title of 2005's "Star Wars: Episode III – Revenge of the Sith" was a wink to fans who recalled the original title of "Return of the Jedi."

New on DVD/Blu-ray: Beautiful Creatures (2013)

Wed, 22 May 2013 00:31:31 EDT

Oh ah daclare, them’s thick Southern accents ya’ll got there! Of course, once you past the accents, “Beautiful Creatures” is a surprisingly good teenage romance/supernatural drama, and it’s a crying shame it got lost in the shuffle of similarly themed YA offerings this year. The story of a boy and a girl and witchcraft, the film failed to capture the same teenage fanbase that flocked to similar YA fares such as “Twilight”, “Harry Potter”, and “The Hunger Games”. For those who missed it earlier this year (and considering the film’s dismal domestic box office, that would be an awful lot of you), here’s your second chance because the film is now available on Blu-ray Combo pack, DVD and Digital Download. Told from the point of view of charming and rebellious Ethan Wate (Alden Ehrenreich), “Beautiful Creatures” takes place in a dinky Southern town where bible thumpers are still thumping bibles, books are still being banned, and Leonardo DiCaprio movies are

Cannes Review: Killer Dance Moves and Crime In Simple, Formulaic 'Grigris'

Wed, 22 May 2013 00:31:28 EDT

France-based Chadian director Mahamat-Saleh Haroun's last feature, the Cannes-winning "A Screaming Man," involved father-son tensions against the backdrop of civil war. By comparison, his followup "Grigris" is something of a letdown, though it works well enough on the scale of a basic character study. The movie has a lot less on its mind and makes no drastic attempts to overreach. A straightforward tale of overcoming personal and professional challenges with no fancy dressing, "Grigris" goes down easy but offers nothing remotely fresh. The title refers to the nickname of its slick protagonist, a young man named Souleymane (Souleymane Deme) whose killer dance moves make him a popular club presence in the small town in which he resides. Grigris' flexible physicality is especially impressive because of a bad leg that gives him a distinctive gait. Yet the disability isn't exactly a hindrance for Grigris, a seemingly well-liked presence who works for his ailing father. When their...

‘Byzantium’ Trailer Introduces the Idea of Vampires With Coke Nails

Wed, 22 May 2013 00:31:27 EDT

If you’re anywhere near being a vampire fanatic, then chances are pretty good you know who Neil Jordan is, because he’s the guy who directed Tom Cruise and Brad Pitt in the adaptation of Anne Rice’s famous vampire story Interview with the Vampire. Well, it turns out Jordan must have developed a taste for those who have a taste for human blood, because his latest film, Byzantium, is also about undead bloodsuckers. Perhaps even more important than what it’s about though is the fact that Byzantium is a gorgeously shot epic that stars Saoirse Ronan and Gemma Arterton. This is important because Ronan is clearly one of the strongest young actors working, and Arterton could possibly be as well, although I’ve only seen her in mostly terrible movies, but she sure is pretty though, and, oh—just go watch the trailer. It’s got vampires that kill people with coke nails. There you go—evocative imagery, repressed passions, monsters who drink blood—on paper Byzantium has everything. And now that it’s toured the festival circuit and dipped its toes into some European markets, it’s ready to open in the States. Folk here can check it out starting on June 28.

Cannes 2013: Sci-Fi 'Last Days on Mars' Retreads Familiar Territory

Tue, 21 May 2013 04:21:32 EDT

One of the very few full-on science fiction films premiering at the Cannes Film Festival this year is a thriller called The Last Days on Mars, directed by Irish filmmaker Ruairi Robinson making his feature debut after a number of shorts including Blinky™ and Fifty Percent Grey. Set on Mars at the end of a six month manned mission to the planet to search for signs of life, it starts out as an intriguing indie sci-fi with some promise. But alas devolves into something that I hate to say is derivative and brings absolutely nothing new to the sci-fi game, which is a bit unfortunate because it otherwise looks great—the VFX were done by Weta. Note: some minor spoilers follow but I fully expect these story beats to be shown/hinted at in the trailer. The film is part of the Cannes sidebar Directors' Fortnight, not the main festival selection, but this was still its world premiere. The Last Days on Mars stars ...

Early Edition: Ben Stiller Ready for 'Walter Mitty'; Joe Eszterhas Returns to H'wood;

Tue, 21 May 2013 03:42:01 EDT

Filed under: Movie News, Cinematical The daydream is over. Fox has finally got their script together for the long-in-the-works remake of the 1947 Danny Kaye film 'The Secret Life of Walter Mitty' and may have nabbed their star: Ben Stiller. According to Deadline, the film has been in development for ages and had attracted such names as Jim Carrey, Mike Myers, Owen Wilson, Will Ferrell and Sacha Baron Cohen and directors Steven Spielberg, Ron Howard and Gore Verbinski. But the script was never right and only recently did the studio put Steve Conrad (The Pursuit of Happyness') on the case. His version attracted Stiller and the talks are on. Now they need a director for the late fall start. Remember Joe Eszterhas? You may be too young to recall the bad boy screenwriter, but you'll surely know his films: 'Basic Instinct,' Flashdance,' 'Jagged Edge' and 'Showgirls.' Well, Eszterhas has returned to Hollywood with a new sexual thriller, 'Lust' -- described as a cross between 'Basic Instinct' and 'Fatal Attraction' -- about the sexual hijinks of a 30-year old married beauty who is in love with an older Miami-based fashion magazine publisher but gets seduced by a younger charming playboy on a business trip to Los Angeles. The playboy's Russian assistant -- who is in love with him -- secretly videotapes the new lovers having sex to show it to her husband. And then things really get out of hand. Eszterhas left Hollywood after a series of flops, moving to Cleveland to write books and live the family life. But he's back now, and has teamed with producer Scott Steindorff on this new film, which the pair will try to sell at Cannes in May. The duo are aiming for a late summer start.

Exclusive: Director Todd Phillips on The Hangover Part III's Grand Franchise Finale

Tue, 21 May 2013 03:41:48 EDT

When Todd Phillips' The Hangover hit theaters in 2009, no one was anticipating that a modestly-budgeted, R-rated comedy would wind up with a worldwide gross of more than $467 million. Two years later, The Hangover Part II did even better, grossing $586 million with Phillips promising, even before the sequel was released , that the franchise would be wrapped up with a third and final Wolf Pack adventure. This week, it all ends as The Hangover Part III reunites Phillips with leading men Bradley Cooper, Ed Helms and Zach Galifianakis (along with quite a few other returning cast members from both previous films). ComingSoon.net sat down with Phillips in the place where it all began -- Caesars Palace Las Vegas Hotel & Casino -- to discuss the end of the series, what has...

Rumored Plot Details for GHOSTBUSTERS 3 and POLTERGEIST Remake; Sam Neill Thinks JURASSIC PARK 4 Is

Tue, 21 May 2013 03:41:47 EDT

With regard to the sequels to and remakes of your favorite properties from 1982-1993: Dan Aykroyd continues to promise Ghostbusters 3, revealing that the sequel plot centers on troubling research by Columbia University particle physicists. Director Gil Kenan (City of Ember) has begun to cast his remake of Poltergeist for a September shoot in Toronto. Plot details have surfaced. Sam Neill says it is unlikely he will be a part of Jurassic Park 4, in part because he believes it is a reboot. More on each project after the jump. Feel free to ignore any news on Ghostbusters 3 until it gets in front of cameras, but if you are still curious, Aykroyd spoke about Ghostbusters 3 on Larry King Now [via Coming Soon]: "It's based on new research that's being done in particle physics by the young men and women at Columbia University. ... There's research being done that I can say that the world or the dimension that we live in, our four planes of existence---length, height, width and time---become threatened by some of the research that's being done. Ghostbusters, new Ghostbusters, have to come and solve the problem." Bloody Disgusting shared these details for the Poltergeist remake: The new version follows Eric Bowen and his family who, after he loses his job, relocate to a new town to start anew. His daughter, Madison, is abducted, making him truly understand what’s important in life: family. In the new version, Eric’s wife, Amy, can communicate with the dead.

The sequel to his acclaimed observational documentary “Cop Shop” (2009), “Cop Shop II” (2011) sees influential Mainland Chinese director Zhou Hao returning after a year to again capture the daily operations of the police station at Guangzhou Railway Station, one of the most chaotic public transport hubs in China. This time the film moves out of the station itself, taking place during the incredibly busy period before Chinese New Year, and following officers as they attempt to keep the square outside the railway station clear to facilitate the flow of hundreds of thousands of passengers returning to their hometowns and families. As well as helping with a constant stream of people looking for advice, food and shelter, this involves the police having to arrest illegal pedlars selling a dizzying variety of goods, move on homeless migrants, and deal with thieves and a man trying to swindle money from travellers.

‘Blood Ties’ Trailer is Full of Hunky Guys, Hot Chicks and the 70s

Tue, 21 May 2013 03:41:39 EDT

If the Cannes Film Festival is good for anything, it’s letting a select few people see great movies that the rest of us are going to have to wait months to get our eyeballs on. In one respect it’s a tantalizing glimpse at our film future, and in the other it’s a torturous tease that only gives us whispers about unattainable pleasures. Every once in a while a film debuting at Cannes will at least release a trailer around the same time though, so those of us not at the festival can get a taste of what we’re missing, and this seems to be the case with Guillaume Canet’s first English-language film as a director, Blood Ties. You should be warned that there’s some naughty language in the clip that lies below, but if that isn’t the sort of thing that offends you, then you’re going to want to click through and watch, because Blood Ties is a 70s-set crime drama that stars Clive Owen, Mila Kunis, Billy Crudup, Marion Cotillard, Zoe Saldana, Matthias Schoenaerts, and James Caan, and if you’re not willing to admit that you have a crush on at least a handful of those people, then you’re just a liar. A stinking liar. In addition to being a fairly affecting-looking take on fathers, sons, brothers, and the ties that bind, Blood Ties also appears to be a really stylish take on 70s crime films that’s full of grainy cinematography, awesome mustaches, boxy cars, and spectacular music of

'Your Highness' Review: A Half-Baked Tale of Might, Magic and Mary Jane

Mon, 20 May 2013 10:51:53 EDT

Filed under: Reviews, Cinematical If you're the kind of role-playing gamer who attempts to have sexual intercourse with every random NPC you come across, then 'Your Highness' was made specifically for you. This is the multi-million-dollar physical representation of a late night Dungeons and Dragons game with friends, one that's gone way past the point of anyone taking it seriously and sinking into that kind of "Who cares?" anarchy that happens when you're up way past your bedtime. You'll have to bring your own 20-sided die, but director / Dungeon Master David Gordon Green provides the rest. There's a very specific kind of vibe that Green is attempting here -- it's loose, ribald, silly, and no one really seems to care how it all turns out in the end, but the film also wants to show respect to the sword-and-sorcery genre. The balance is such that the action sequences are meticulously staged to hold their own with any sword-clanging B-picture, while the comedy is so off-the-cuff that it's almost immediately forgettable. It doesn't help that there's basically only one kind of joke in 'Your Highness,' and the novelty of hearing co-writer and star Danny McBride utter anachronistic F-bombs is only slightly amusing the first time. By the 20th time, it's downright grating. Continue Reading

Chinese Visual Festival ’13: Emergency Room China (2013)

Mon, 20 May 2013 10:51:38 EDT

“Emergency Room China” is the latest film from award winning Mainland Chinese director Zhou Hao, one of the most acclaimed and influential figures of the Modern Chinese Independent Documentary Movement. Following on from his recent “Cop Shop” films, which depict the trials and tribulations of officers at a chaotically busy train station during New Year, the film sees Zhou continuing his series of documentaries focusing on public spaces and institutions in China. In shooting the film, Zhou and his crew spent 10 long months in a hospital emergency room and following ambulances day and night in Guangzhou, the largest city in southern China. Capturing a stream of accidents and incidents the film tells stories that range from the bizarre and absurd to the shocking and tragic, showing both the ways in which people sometimes fail to respect their own lives, and the necessity of having a more effective health care system. The camera focuses not only on patients, but on

Movie Lovers We Love: Chitra Neogy Teaches "Film as a Transformative Process"

Most students walk away from a typical film courses with a better knowledge of the medium’s history and an impressive vocabulary. However such a standard, superficial approach to cinema can leave the viewer unsatisfied, missing out on the rich, powerful qualities of the art form. Professor and filmmaker Chitra Neogy asks more of her students in her class "Film as a Transformative Process" at New York University. Challenging them with difficult foreign films such as Andrei Tarkovsky's "The Sacrifice" or Theodoros Angelopoulos's "Landscape in the Mist," Neogy creates an environment in the classroom that takes students into, what she calls, a deeper language of themselves. "It’s really transformative in the sense that the kinds of films I choose to show are reflective of another language," Neogy told Indiewire.

If The Internet Had Existed When ‘Wrath of Khan’ Hit Theaters

Mon, 20 May 2013 10:51:36 EDT

Author’s Note: While on a survey mission, Al Gore is sucked into a giant hole in the ozone that deposits him in the past. Stranded, he uses his knowledge of the future to invent the internet decades sooner than he did in his original timeline. By the 1980s, the internet has evolved to what it became by the early 21st century, dragging fan culture with it. This is one such review that I obtained from our alternate past. Reviewed: Star Trek II: The Wrath of Khan Is a Slap in the Face to Fans! By: GeneGeneTheRodenberryMachine Spock dies! I’m sorry. I took some heat for posting that as the headline in my earlier screening report, but the fact is that it’s impossible to discuss this movie without discussing that salient point. Let’s also get to what’s really important – Nick Meyer, Harve Bennett AND Leonard Nimoy all lied throughout production when they refused to confirm the rumors of Spock’s death. It was ridiculous, as this had to be the worst kept secret in Hollywood. Everyone knew about this beforehand, so I don’t know why some of my critical brethren are kissing Paramount’s ass by pretending we all didn’t know the ending. And let’s face it, Paramount doesn’t deserve any consideration after what they’ve inflicted on us with this film. This is a cash grab – a dying gasp from a franchise that deserved a lot better. Last time we got the acclaimed director of The Sound of Music, The Andromeda Strain, and The Day the Earth Stood Still. This time? We get a director who’s notable credits

Indie Trailer Sunday: Badass Punk Rock Doc 'A Band Called Death'

Mon, 20 May 2013 04:11:25 EDT

"We are fighting to maintain our identity!" While the Cannes Film Festival rages on, today's trailer is for an indie rock doc called A Band Called Death, which premiered at the SXSW Film Festival this year and was picked up by Drafthouse Films in February. This trailer has been out for a bit, but we haven't featured it yet and I thought it a worthy film to highlight today. Similar to the Oscar winning doc Searching for Sugar Man, this tells the story of a three-member African-American punk rock band called Death from Detroit that never hit it big until 30 years later when tapes were found in an attic. This looks badass. The Ultimate Trip.

Hardy ('Inception') stars as the younger brother who joined the Marines, and Edgerton ('Animal Kingdom') plays the older one who became a teacher and had a family he now can't support. Nick Nolte is already drawing Oscar buzz as the father of this fractious clan, a former alcoholic who's now training Hardy.

Pre-Order the Limited Edition STAR TREK INTO DARKNESS 3D Blu-ray Combo Pack and Get a Starfleet Phas

Sun, 19 May 2013 18:01:51 EDT

With the shortening window between theatrical and home video shrinking every year, it doesn't surprise me Amazon has just started taking pre-orders on a limited edition Star Trek Into Darkness 3D combo pack that comes with a cool looking Starfleet Phaser. If you're not aware, the combo pack includes the 3D Blu-ray, the regular Blu-ray, the DVD, and a digital copy. While Amazon doesn't have a release date, I'm willing to bet it's between the end of September and early November. In addition, while Amazon is currently selling the set for $79.99 (20% off the $99.99 retail price) they have a great pre-order guarantee which says if the price ever drops "between your order time and the end of the day of the release date, you'll receive the lowest price." So if they ever offer it for 40% off, you'll get it for that price. Hit the jump for images of the phaser, or click here to pre-order on Amazon.

Watsuki Nobuhiro’s “Rurouni Kenshin” has long been one of the most loved manga in Japan, telling the story of the wandering pacifist samurai of the title and his many adventures. Known as “Samurai X” in the West, the manga has already been adapted across multiple formats, including a hugely popular anime series, several OVAs and audio books. Finally, it arrives on the big screen courtesy of writer Fujii Kiyomi (“L Change the World”) and director Otomo Keishi (“Taiga drama Ryomaden”) as a big budget live action film, with young television actor Sato Takeru (“Rookies”) as Kenshin. Also bringing the well-known roles from the comic to life are Takei Emi (“For Love’s Sake”), Aoi Yu (“Patisserie Coin de rue”) and Kagawa Teruyuki (“Kaiji 2”), with action choreography by Tanigaki Kenji, who previously worked with the one and only Donnie Yen on the likes of “SPL”, “Flashpoint” and “Wu Xia”.

Sun, 19 May 2013 18:01:45 EDT

Greeted with a lot of big laughs and extended applause at its first Cannes press screening last night, Joel and Ethan Coen's latest love letter to music "Inside Llewyn Davis" did not disappoint. (Our own Eric Kohn went so far as to say "it isn't the minor Coen Bros. movie it looks like.") "Inside Llewyn Davis" substitutes the bluegrass music found in "O. Brother Where Art Thou" for folk music to tell a similar "Odyssey"-like tale of a musician struggling to get by through life as an artist. Taking place over the course of several days, Oscar Isaac (in a breakthrough performance sure to garner him awards-buzz once the film lands stateside) stars as the titular singer-songwriter, while Carey Mulligan, Justin Timberlake and a scene-stealing John Goodman round out the colorful supporting cast of folks Llewyn meets on his dispiriting journey.

Cannes 2013 Review: ‘Jimmy P.’ is a Solidly Acted Psychological Drama That Misses a Prim

Sun, 19 May 2013 18:01:44 EDT

The clunkily titled Jimmy P: Psychotherapy of a Plains Indian (aka Jimmy P.) is Arnaud Desplechin‘s first film in a whole five years, though disappointingly proves a shakily uneven return for the director, entrenched in the more laborious, bone-dry methodology of its famous case study rather than probing the complex emotional state of the titular character. Resolutely a work of special interest and little else, of all the In Competition entries to screen so far, this is the one that can most easily be ruled out of the running for the Palme d’Or. The true story on which this film is based revolves around Jimmy Picard (Benicio Del Toro), a Blackfoot Indian who returns from service in World War II and begins suffering from headaches, sight loss and countless other ailments. While American doctors are quick to diagnose him as mentally ill, it is the arrival of anthropologist-turned-psychiatrist Georges Devereau (Mathieu Amalric) that changes everything, as he manages to unlock past traumas in Jimmy’s life to arrive at the root of the problem. In adapting Devereau’s famous book “Reality and Dream,” Desplechin is evidently keen to dig into the more nascent stages of psychology, ahead of it becoming the respected scientific discipline we recognise it as today. However, like other recent attempts to do this (David Cronenberg’s A Dangerous Method first comes to mind here) the result is unexpectedly sexless and really quite dull. Getting through the film in one piece will likely require audiences to have at least a passing

Assault on Wall Street (2013) Movie Review

Sun, 19 May 2013 00:41:45 EDT

It’s not every day that I encounter an Uwe Boll movie that is intentionally entertaining. While the man has crafted some truly memorable motion pictures over the years, only a few can be classified as good. Every once in a while the prolific filmmaker pulls a cinematic rabbit out of his hat that somehow manages to genuinely impress his audience. Boll’s 2013 effort “Assault on Wall Street” is such a film. Believe it or not, it could be the best movie the guy has ever crafted. Although the movie tends to wear its agenda blatantly on its sleeve, this doesn’t take away from the message Boll and company are trying to sell. Wall Street is an evil world, and good people get screwed by uncaring vultures in sharp suits on a daily basis. However, the director and his team do an admirable job of wrapping all of this commentary around a story that is surprisingly thoughtful and unexpectedly heartbreaking. It

9 Ways ‘Star Trek Into Darkness’ Is Too Much Like a ‘Star Wars’ Movie

Sun, 19 May 2013 00:41:43 EDT

It’s hard to watch Star Trek Into Darkness and not think about Star Wars. Yes, J.J. Abrams is directing Episode VII and so we have that knowledge on the brain going into this. Maybe we’re even on the lookout for clues hinting at what we should expect from his take on that galaxy. This isn’t the first time the Trek franchise has had to try and prove itself in the shadow of George Lucas’s own series. Even though it originated with a TV show in the 1960s, Trek‘s cinematic resurrection a decade later was in part allowed by and somewhat influenced by the success and quality of the first Star Wars. But even regardless of the fact that Abrams is following the latest Trek with the next Wars, I often otherwise felt like I was watching one of the latter while sitting through Into Darkness. Before getting into the evidence that Abrams is a clear fan of Lucasfilm works (and not just Star Wars) and likes to sample from them, let’s take a moment to think about what all his call back references and allusions to both Wars and Trek might mean for Episode VII. Will there be too much winking and fan-service, unhidden Easter eggs and inside jokes and maybe even outright recycling the way Into Darkness is with certain prior Trek installments? Could Episode VII have a number of allusions to Trek the way Into Darkness pays obvious homage to Wars? Rather than creating new worlds of his

Cannes: Why 'Inside Llewyn Davis' Isn't the Minor Coen Bros. Movie It Looks Like

Sun, 19 May 2013 00:41:43 EDT

"That's a folk song," says Llewyn Davis (Oscar Isaac) in the opening scene of Joel and Ethan Coen's aptly titled "Inside Llewyn Davis," after playing a tender melody for the cozy room at New York's Gaslight Café circa 1961. One could usually make a similar pronouncement about the Coen brothers' usually eccentric works -- yep, that's a Coen movie, folks -- but this one's a different story. Light on plot, heavy on melody and feeling, "Inside Llewyn Davis" takes some inspiration from the career of folk singer Dave Van Ronk, but avoids focusing the trappings of a biopic or making broad pronouncements about the era. Instead, the nomadic Llewyn's fleeting misadventures, which find him drifting from one couch to the next while struggling to justify his career, lead to a delicate, restrained portrait that results in a different kind of movie than anything else the sibling have produced. Littered with catchy tunes composed by T. Bone Burnett, "Llewyn Davis" is the musical opposite of their...

During the enactment of the Battle of Zama, Maximus rides his horse around a bend with his sword in his left hand. When we cut to close up, it's back in his right. Looking at the left-handed shot in freeze-frame, you can see the frame has been flipped, left-to-right (check the armor). This was probably for continuity reasons. Similarly, Maximus jumps on the horse and his shoulder protector is clearly on his injured left shoulder. However, a few frames later, the protector is on his right shoulder, then it moves yet again back the correct spot, the left shoulder. See more mistakes from Gladiator

Andy Garcia & Rob Riggle Join LET’S BE COPS, Marton Csokas Boards THE EQUALIZER & Mich

Sat, 18 May 2013 05:11:35 EDT

Check out today's casting news: Andy Garcia (The Untouchables) and Rob Riggle (21 Jump Street) have joined Luke Greenfield's action-comedy Let's Be Cops. Marton Csokas (The Bourne Supremacy) will star opposite Denzel Washington in Antoine Fuqua's The Equalizer, also starring Chloe Grace Moretz. Jonny Weston (Chasing Mavericks) and Sofia Black-D'Elia (Skins) are in negotiations to join Michael Bay's found-footage film, Almanac. Hit the jump for more on each casting announcement. First up from THR and The Wrap comes casting news for Let's Be Cops. Damon Wayans Jr and Jake Johnson, who both starred in the New Girl pilot, lead the comedy as "two friends who impersonate police officers using rented uniforms, giving their lives a boost and some fun. However, they run into trouble when they cross a dangerous Russian mobster." Garcia will play a veteran detective who lands the unenviable distinction of becoming boss of the two wannabes. Riggle, who's played characters on both sides of the law, will play "a blue-collar cop who becomes a fan of the fake officers and offers to help them secure some high-tech surveillance equipment." The picture also stars Nina Dobrev, James D'Arcy and Keegan Michael Key. Cops is eyeing a summer shoot in Atlanta. Heat Vision reports that Csokas will star as the antagonist in The Equalizer. The feature adaptation of the 80s TV series stars Washington as "Robert McCall, a retired intelligence officer who helps the powerless; he is living a quiet life while working at a Home Depot, when one act of kindness toward a prostitute (Moretz) gets him embroiled with the Russian ...

Beyonce Pregnant Again? Sources Confirm 'Epic' Star Is Carrying Baby No. 2

Turns out those Beyonce pregnancy reports are more than just speculation. Multiple sources have confirmed to E! News that the "Epic" star and her rapper husband, Jay-Z, are expecting baby number two. While the couple have yet to comment or confirm, fellow hip-hop mogul Russell Simmons tweeted his congratulations to the couple. Hmm, interesting. Very interesting. Speculation about whether Blue Ivy's mom was again with child began after photos of Bey looking a little bit bigger in the tummy region while on tour popped up on the Internet. The NY Post then reported that sources had confirmed to them that the singer was, in fact, pregnant. As you may recall, Beyonce announced her first pregnancy without saying a word -- she just showed up at the MTV Video Music Awards sporting an unmistakable baby bump and rubbed her belly.

Come Out and Play (2012) Movie Review

Sat, 18 May 2013 05:11:32 EDT

Mononymous writer-director Makinov’s 2012 thriller “Come Out and Play” only works if you could never in your wildest dreams consider killing a kid if your life was in serious danger. Call me cold and callous, but I’d chuck a child into the nearest river if the nasty little brat was attempting to murder me. Although I’m sure the act would likely cause serious emotional damage, but when it comes to survival, even a five-year-old boy isn’t above getting crushed when push comes to shove. If you found any part of this opening passage to be offensive, then chances are “Come Out and Play” is going to give you nightmares for decades. Makinov’s movie is a retelling of director Narciso Ibanez Serrador’s 1976 shocker “Who Can Kill a Child?” Unfortunately, the filmmaker doesn’t do anything remarkably different with the material. It’s just the same old thing with brand new faces. Fans of Serrador’s flick won’t find anything new to ponder with

‘The Hangover Part III’ Red Band Trailer Is the Franchise’s Last Plea to Get Your

Sat, 18 May 2013 05:11:29 EDT

With The Hangover Part III’s May 24th release date rapidly approaching, it’s now officially crunch time for its marketing people. They’ve got a few short days left to convince anyone who might be on the fence about coming back for a third helping of Hangover-style decadence that this is a movie that can’t be missed. So, in order to round up every last box office dollar they can possibly find, they’re pulling out the big guns—a red band trailer. If there are two things in this world that everyone, no matter what their age, class, or background, responds well to, they’re nostalgia and dirty jokes, so this new trailer makes liberal use of both. After you click through the link and give it a watch, prepare to be pled with to remember how fun that first movie was, and prepare to plug the ears of any kids who might be in the room. Well, there you have it. It’s probably what one would expect: a quick rundown of the greatest hits moments from the first two films followed by Ken Jeong screeching a lot and a bunch of jokes about dudes being gay. Is the promise that this is going to be the franchise capper enough to get you into the theater in order to give The Hangover a sendoff? Or was the second one so derivative of the first that you’re going to do your best to pretend like this was a one and done comedy that didn’t spawn

While last year saw their auteur-driven heavy hitters "Django," "Silver" and "The Master" debut pre-trailer footage that set the industry abuzz, this year's big reveal landed with more of a "meh."

Filed under: Movie News, CinematicalBlake Lively might not be taking her planned trip down the Yellow Brick Road. Lively, who won critical acclaim for her role in Ben Affleck's 'The Town,' is now first in line for the female lead in Oliver Stone's 'Savages,' a story about two Laguna Beach marijuana kingpins who are forced to work for a Mexican drug cartel after the free-spirited girlfriend they share is kidnapped, according to Variety. Aaron Johnson and Taylor Kitsch have been in talks to play the two male leads, with Benicio del Toro negotiating to be one of the cartel enforcers. If Lively is in fact offered the part, she may have to give up the role of Glinda the Good Witch of the East, which she was considering, in Sam Raimi's 'Oz: The Great and Powerful' for Disney. 'Savages,' which Stone will write and direct for Universal, is being eyed for a June start date. 'Wolverine' may be coming off hold soon. According to TheWrap, Fox has shown an interest in having Duncan Jones direct the film and Jones, in turn, is interested. As you'll recall, Darren Aronofsky was originally going to direct, but he pulled out in March because of scheduling issues. And since the film was to shoot in Japan -- the story line has Wolverine, played by Hugh Jackman, traveling to Japan to learn from a Samurai master -- the production was further delayed by the earthquake and tsunami that shattered that country.

A seemingly wholesome and benevolent family, the Parkers have always kept to themselves, and for good reason. Behind closed doors, patriarch Frank (Sage) rules his family with a rigorous ferver, determined to keep his ancestral customs intact at any cost.

Rumor: Christopher Nolan Approached to Direct JAMES BOND 24

Fri, 17 May 2013 12:21:50 EDT

In the past, Christopher Nolan has expressed interest in directing a James Bond film. Last summer, Nolan, a long-time fan of the series, said he was serious about the prospect, but added "It would have to be the right situation and the right time in their cycle of things." Although it is absolutely not the right time in their cycle of things, Daily Mail reports that there have been informal talks about directing James Bond 24 between Nolan and Bond producers Barbara Broccoli and Michael G .Wilson. As you may recall, Broccoli and Wilson tried to get Skyfall director Sam Mendes to return, but he passed on the gig. In March, we learned that MGM wanted a new Bond movie within 3 years, so the clock is ticking to get someone in the director's chair. The assumption that Nolan would direct Bond 24 is preposterous because Nolan is at work on Interstellar. Pre-production is underway, roles have been cast, and a November 7, 2014 release date has been set. Unless Nolan wants to piss off everyone at Paramount and Warner Bros (the studios behind Interstellar), he's not doing Bond 24. If there have been any informal talks, I believe they would be for James Bond 25. That would be the smart, pro-active move, but right now the focus should be (and will be) on who's doing the 24th film.

With Sam Mendes taking a step away from the James Bond franchise to concentrate on exploding legitimate theaters, talk has turned to who will direct the follow-up to Skyfall, and withstand the preemptive criticism for not being Christopher Nolan that’s become standard ever since Nolan expressed his enthusiasm for the franchise. So naturally, producers Barbara Broccoli and Michael G. Wilson have reportedly approached Christopher Nolan—whom many believe to be the only man who is Christopher Nolan—to see if he’s interested in being Christopher Nolan while directing the 24th James Bond film. It’s a logical move ...

Christopher Nolan for James Bond Movie? Director Allegedly Courted to Direct

Fri, 17 May 2013 12:21:48 EDT

If there's one thing that is very, very, very clear, it's that “Dark Knight” director Christopher Nolan loves James Bond. Ever since he decided to do massive movies, he has included sequences that could have been lifted directly from one of the dashing adventures of Britain's most suave superspy. Nolan knows how to mimic James Bond set pieces in tone and intensity. There's the Hong Kong sequence from “The Dark Knight,” the whole third act of “Inception” (with the snow fort, which seems to have been a hodgepodge lift of various Bond tropes), and the opening sequence of “The Dark Knight Rises,” which had more jaw-dropping spectacle than all of “Quantum of Solace” combined. Now, Nolan may get his chance to do a 007 entry himself. According to the UK paper the Daily Mail (so please, find the biggest grain of salt you can and take it), “informal talks have begun” between Nolan and the Bond powers that be -- namely producers Barbara Broccoli and Michael Wilson -- for him to helm the next chapter in the franchise. After the worldwide critical and commercial success of “Skyfall,” it was assumed Sam Mendes would be game to direct another Bond outing, but commitments to theatrical productions, as well as the exhausting amount of effort that it takes to get a Bond movie off the ground, sidelined those plans. It would be fascinating if the series entered an “auteur” phase, with big name directors, known for their singular artistic visions, took on a series known for its workmanlike dexterity more than its creative adventurousness. Right now Nolan is in the middle of prepping “Interstellar,” his big-budget space exploration film that will star Jessica Chastain, Anne Hathaway, Matthew McConaughey, and (of course) Michael Caine. That film will be out on November 7th, 2014. It's unclear whether Nolan would have the time (or the energy) to jump from one gigantic project to the next, but we're crossing our fingers that this isn't simply tabloid chatter. [via Daily Mail]

New on DVD/Blu-ray: Cloud Atlas (2012)

Fri, 17 May 2013 12:21:47 EDT

Talk about ambitious. The Wachowskis (that would be Lana and Andy) and Tom Tykwer have combined their immense talents to tackle David Mitchell’s “unfilmable” book “Cloud Atlas” and made it, well, filmable. Many years in the making, the sprawling epic is definitely one of those movies where a Blu-ray player (or DVD player for those of you still clinging to such things) is preferable over a theatrical viewing, because let’s face it, you’re going to have to see this movie at least twice, if just to catch all the actors in all their different roles. Try that while the film is still in theaters and you might end up having to hawk an arm just to pay for the privilege. (In case you haven’t noticed, going to the movies is insanely expensive these days.) In fact, while watching the Blu-ray, I realized it was much easier to watch the film with the movie’s IMDB.com page opened, allowing me to consult

Review: ‘The English Teacher’ Starts Well, But Fizzles Fast

Fri, 17 May 2013 12:21:45 EDT

Editor’s Note: This review originally ran as part of our Tribeca coverage, and as of today, the film is in limited release. In The English Teacher, star Julianne Moore plays an English teacher; I point that out, redundantly, because the character type is almost redundant. Everything that you would expect from a stereotypical high school purveyor of Charles Dickens and Nathaniel Hawthorne is true about Moore’s Ms. Linda Sinclair. She’s introduced as the obvious loner, a shy woman in love with the classics. She goes on blind dates with terrible men, who she imaginatively grades in her head like a student’s paper. The script even goes so far as to make sure she’s buffeted by voiceover narration, in an inevitably British accent. Yet Moore, and to an extent director Craig Zisk, do an excellent job at keeping Ms. Sinclair away from the frustrating blandness of the stock character, at least for the first act of the film. There isn’t necessarily more to her than meets the eye, but the people around her allow her to grow into something more interesting. The English Teacher has quite the admirable start, winning the audience over in spite of all of our preconceived notions about this sort of self-consciously charming indie movie. That’s how it begins, anyway. Ms. Sinclair is a bored English teacher in a small Pennsylvania town, somewhere in the vicinity of Scranton. She bumps into a former student at the bank. Jason Sherwood (Michael Angarano) is a playwright, or at least he went

Telephilia: Has Television Become a More Relevant American Medium Than Art Film?

Fri, 17 May 2013 12:21:45 EDT

"Television is a formidable thinking tool. You are like an analyst to whom society's subconscious would be offered wide open…" --Serge Daney Every medium stimulates and meets the sensibility of an audience as well as, impacting its orientation, political and otherwise. Television has been historically associated with distracted cultural consumption, a medium more suited to influence viewers rather than make them think. While the written word allowed for deeper reflections and articulated, complex thoughts, TV had to rely on the superficiality of spectacular images to attract viewers' attention. Cinema somehow bridges these two realms by constituting an art form that is both entertaining and enlightening. As the 21st century started rolling, both cinema and the press started experiencing a paradigm-shifting, economic and existential crisis fuelled by the availability of free content on the internet. In the bid to preserve their traction, both cinema and editorial products lowered...

Ed Helms, Bradley Cooper and Zach Galifianakis are more desperate than ever as they find themselves forced to track down Mr. Chow (Ken Jeong) for a ruthless criminal mastermind (John Goodman).

Sidney Lumet's Best Films

Thu, 16 May 2013 19:22:06 EDT

Filed under: Cinematical, Best and WorstDirector Sidney Lumet, who passed away April 9 at the age of 86, may not have been a "name" director like Steven Spielberg or Alfred Hitchcock (at least not to the general public), but you certainly know the names of his films. From 1957's '12 Angry Men,' to 'Dog Day Afternoon,' 'Serpico' and 'Network' in the '70s and 'The Verdict' in 1982, Lumet's movies were searing documents that questioned the social issues of their day. Far from being dated, his movies from each era remain as fresh and as relevant as ever. (Just go on Youtube to see how many fan mash-ups there are of 'Network's cautionary message about over-reliance on spoon-fed media.) His movies featured towering performances from Al Pacino, Henry Fonda and Paul Newman, ones that are still considered among their finest work. Read on to see our list of Lumet's best films.

'Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon II': The Oscar-Winning Movie is Getting a Sequel

Thu, 16 May 2013 19:21:48 EDT

Thirteen years after its release, “Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon” is getting a sequel. The Weinstein Company announced Thursday that the movie, which won an Academy Award for Best Foreign Language Film, is set to be followed up by “Crouching Tiger Hidden Dragon II – The Green Destiny.” It will follow the story of “Iron Knight, Silver Vase,” the fifth book in author Wang Du Lu's Crane-Iron Pentalogy, the same series on which the first “Crouching Tiger” film was based. “Crouching Tiger” became a surprise international hit in 2000, grossing over $200 million worldwide and $128 million in the United States to become the nation's highest-earning foreign language film of all time. The story, set in western China, centered around two warriors' quest for a missing sword and the assassin who follows their every move. “I loved Ang Lee's film,” said TWC Co-Chairman Harvey Weinstein. “I thought it was a master class in directing, but I know we are in fantastic hands with Yuen Wo Ping directing the second installment of ‘Crouching Tiger.' … [Yuen] is a first-class director and choreographer, and I am thrilled to be teaming up with him once more. With John Fusco's incredible script and the dream team of [original stars] Donnie Yen and Michelle Yeoh we are in great shape.” Weinstein, Yuen, and Yen will further discuss the project at the Cannes International Film Festival this weekend.

Skyfall is the most successful James Bond film by far, but Casino Royale remains the most impressive of Daniel Craig’s turns as the secret agent, turning a flagging franchise around and defying pre-production naysayers about whether Craig fit the role. The black-and-white opening sequence alone sets the tone for a much different approach to the character from the Pierce Brosnan years. Now there’s a shot-by-shot Lego recreation of the opening showdown in Prague, mixing the tense conversation with Bond’s first and second kills in the field to earn 00 status.

Star Trek Into Darkness (2013) Movie Review

Thu, 16 May 2013 19:21:46 EDT

It’s probably safe to assume at this point that J.J. Abrams’ two “Star Trek” movies are less his version of “Star Trek” and more his version of what he really wants to do — which is a “Star Wars” movie. Fans of any iteration of the “Trek” franchise could probably have told you that, though it didn’t really come to me until Abrams was recently given the “Star Wars” franchise and the writer/director let it be known that he had always been meh about “Trek”, but really, really loved “Wars”. No surprise, then, that watching the Abrams “Trek” movies is like watching an action movie in space. Any space action movie, really. These two just happens to have the “Trek” name in them, and its two main leads just happened to be named Kirk and Spock. The boys are back for the second time ’round, with “Star Trek Into Darkness” opening on an alien planet where the crew of the

Casting Couch: Anna Kendrick is Ready For Her Closeup Mr. Braff, Reese Witherspoon and Joaquin Phoen

Thu, 16 May 2013 19:21:44 EDT

What is Casting Couch? It’s the news column that’s got its ear to the ground, listening for any juicy tidbits coming out of Cannes. Today people like Uma Thurman, Seann William Scott, Amanda Seyfried, and Bruce Willis all got new jobs. Zach Braff hasn’t yet had much of a career as a film director, but if there’s one thing he’s got more experience shooting than most people, it’s tiny girls wearing giant headphones. So chances are Pitch Perfect star Anna Kendrick will be a perfect fit for the cast of his new movie, Wish I Was Here. The Wrap is reporting that she’s just joined the film in the role of Janine, a chick who’s into cosplay and who the Josh Gad character becomes enamored with. However you feel about the controversy surrounding Braff’s Kickstarter funding of this film, you have to admit, added Anna Kendrick just made going to see it sound a whole lot more enticing. People seem to have fond memories of Reese Witherspoon and Joaquin Phoenix working together on that Johnny Cash biopic, Walk the Line, so there should be much rejoicing at the news that the duo could be getting ready to act together again, and on a PT Anderson movie, no less. Deadline is reporting that Witherspoon is the latest name to join the cast of Inherent Vice, which, in addition to Phoenix, also already has Owen Wilson and Benicio Del Toro on board. Geez, looking at all of those names together, it would

Must Watch: Bloody Red Band 'V/H/S 2' Trailer is Insanely Terrifying

"Did you hear that?" Holy sh*t get ready to scream! Magnet Releasing has debuted an crazy intense and insanely terrifying full red band trailer for V/H/S 2, the sequel to the found footage indie horror anthology hit V/H/S from just last year. We saw this at the Sundance Film Festival midnight premiere in January and went totally nuts for it, since it's leaner but much scarier and bloodier than the first one in every way. This trailer definitely uses that red band tag the fullest and does show a few of the bigger reveals (that I think are based saved for the in-movie experience). But it is a hell of trailer for one of my favorite new horror series.

Kirsten Dunst Faces the End of the World in 'Melancholia' Trailer

Thu, 16 May 2013 00:02:09 EDT

Filed under: Trailers and Clips, Movie News, CinematicalDanish filmmaker Lars von Trier goes mainstream -- well, as much as the determinedly indie director ever would -- in the trailer for his new all-star film. "A beautiful film about the end of the world," is the tag line for 'Melancholia,' which stars Kirsten Dunst, Kiefer Sutherland, John Hurt and Charlotte Gainsbourg. The setting is the marriage Justine (Dunst) to Michael ('True Blood's Alexander Skarsgard), but while small domestic dramas are playing themselves out, a mysterious planet is also making its ominous way towards earth. 'Armageddon,' this is not. The mood seems, well, melancholic, with swings toward soap-opera-ish high drama. Last year, von Trier described the film only as being "about two sisters and a planet."

Thu, 16 May 2013 00:01:53 EDT

Here's your latest casting news out of the 2013 Cannes Film Festival: Joel Edgerton (Warrior) will join Johnny Depp in the Barry Levinson crime thriller Black Mass about Boston kingpin Whitey Bulger. Chris Pine (Star Trek), Amanda Seyfried (Les Miserables) and Chiwetel Ejiofor (Children of Men) have joined the Tobey Maguire production Z for Zacharia, directed by Craig Zobel (Compliance). Hit the jump for more on each casting announcement. Deadline reports that Edgerton has joined the cast of Black Mass as FBI agent and childhood pal of Bulger, John Connolly. Connolly was tasked with taking down the Italian mob and cooperated with Bulger, who acted as an FBI informant with the dual intention of getting the Feds to eliminate his own underworld competition. Connolly himself was eventually convicted of racketeering and obstruction of justice for aiding Bulger, along with second-degree murder charges stemming from leaked information to the mobsters. Deadline also reports that Pine, Seyfried and Ejiofor will join Z for Zacharia. Here's the press release: Material Pictures and Zik Zak Filmworks are pleased to announce Chris Pine, Amanda Seyfried, and Chewitel Ejiofor have joined the cast of Z FOR ZACHARIAH.

Film: Newswire: Disney quietly kills its gussied up version of Merida, the Brave princess

Thu, 16 May 2013 00:01:53 EDT

Last week, in anticipation of her inauguration into Disney’s pretty, pretty princess court, Merida, the heroine of the Disney/Pixar’s Brave, got a pretty, pretty makeover. Gone was her quiver of arrows and charmingly ruddy complexion. The new Merida had boobs! And makeup! And was thinner! Unsurprisingly, this didn’t really fly with Brave fans and assorted feminists. A web-based public outcry ensued, with people claiming that the gussied up Merida was a subtle message to girls that looking like (sort of) a real person was inferior. Quiet as a mouse, Disney has pulled the girly version of ...

'Riddick' Trailer: Vin Diesel Is Back and Playing for Blood

Thu, 16 May 2013 00:01:50 EDT

It's been 10 years, but Vin Diesel's Riddick is still the biggest badass around. After nearly a decade since “The Chronicles of Riddick,” the Furyan fighting machine is back and as a new full-length trailer shows, he hasn't lost his lethal touch. In “Riddick,” the titular warrior has been stranded on a sun-scorched planet. “I don't know how many times I've been crossed off the list and left for dead. So this … this ain't nothing new,” he says. Soon, a ship full of bounty hunters -- among them Karl Urban, Katee Sackhoff, and Matt Nable -- comes looking for him. “Yet again, we play for blood,” Riddick growls. And they're not even his biggest threat. As a storm breaks out over the planet, deadly alien predators threaten to tear everyone to pieces. “Riddick” hits theaters September 6.

The Chrysalis (2013) Movie Review

Thu, 16 May 2013 00:01:48 EDT

Though limited by notoriously tough censorship, the horror genre is slowly but surely finding its feet in Chinese cinema, with directors coming up with new and occasionally creative ways to work around the restrictions. “The Chrysalis”, marking the directorial debut of ad director Qiu Chu Ji, is a great example of this, a film which though clearly of the horror genre, also works in enough grounded psycho drama to keep things from straying too far into taboo supernatural territory. While this approach in itself is common in Chinese chillers, Qiu here seems to have been making more of an effort to combine the film’s horror and dramatic elements rather than simply using one to justify the other. Taiwanese-French actress Sandrine Pinna (“Miao Miao”) stars as Wenxin, the film opening with her having been kidnapped by love rival Annie (Christa Yan) on valentine’s day. The film flashes forward three months, with Wenxin showing up by the side of the road in

Movie News After Dark: Hating the J.J. Abrams ‘Star Trek’ Movies

Tonight on Movie News After Dark, we explore some of the unfriendly feelings that are had toward J.J. Abrams and his Star Trek films, we look at the real life Tony Stark (maybe), see a bit about Natalie Portman’s latest and as always, try to wedge in some Doctor Who. Why We Love, Hate and Love to Hate J.J. Abrams’ Star Trek – Over at Movies.com, Evan Saathoff writes an excellent piece about the mixed emotions the geekosphere seems to have around J.J. and his pair of Trek films. It’s tonight’s must-read. Hannibal and the consequences of violence – In an interview with Buzzfeed, Hannibal showrunner Bryan Fuller talks about violence and death on TV. The man’s handle on such things is the core reason why Hannibal is such a striking show. That and Mads Mikkleson. Jane doesn’t have traction – The eternally troubled production, Jane Got a Gun, starring Natalie Portman, is not winning over any buyers at Cannes, where its rights are being sold. As it turns out, director Lynne Ramsay left over disagreements on “final cut.” More on that later, I’m sure. 15 failed American remakes of UK shows – First, I didn’t even know that there was an American version of Spaced. Second, that Joel McHale-led version of The IT Crowd was awful. The Return of the Coming of Age Film – According to this well-written piece by Calum Marsh, the coming-of-age film is back.

IFC Films Acquires US Rights to Justin Long's Social Media Rom-Com 'A Case of You'

Thu, 16 May 2013 00:01:46 EDT

IFC Films has acquired U.S. rights to Kat Coiro's romantic comedy "A Case of You," which made its world premiere at the 2013 Tribeca Film Festival. Co-written by Justin Long, Christian Long and Keir O'Donnell, "A Case of You" stars Long, Evan Rachel Rood, Sam Rockwell, Peter Dinklage, Sienna Miller, and Busy Philipps. The film follows Sam (Long) who begins to crush on Birdie (Wood), a local barista, and decides to win her affection via the internet. Sam sculpts himself into Birdie's dream guy -- thanks to a little Facebook stalking -- on his social media profile, but soon learns that he must also keep up his alter ego in person as well. Jonathan Sehring, President of Sundance Selects/IFC Films, said of the film, "'A Case of You' is a heartfelt romantic comedy for the generation who has taken to finding love online. Kat Coiro is an incredibly talented filmmaker who expertly crafts the hilarious ensemble cast to bring Justin’s irreverent screenplay to life." Coiro added, "I'm...

Quartet

Thu, 16 May 2013 00:01:45 EDT

The respective ages of Quartet’s leads (72, 69, 75, 77…) reads like a game of geriatric bingo.But then their director is no spring chicken either, septuagenarian Dustin Hoffman having just as much right to a free bus pass in the country where his first feature is set.Quite why it has taken Benjamin Braddock so long to step behind the camera is anyone’s guess.Yet he proves an efficient enough ringmaster in this gentle portrait of nursing home oldsters, set in a facility for retired opera stars whose declining capacities don’t stop them acting like divas.It’s not just Dame Maggie Smith’s presence that recalls The Best Exotic Marigold Hotel here, Hoffman’s mellow adaptation of Ronald Harwood’s 1999 play being just as brazenly targeted at the lucrative grey pound.Yet Quartet has the edge on John Madden’s 2011 outing, its poignancy feeling honestly and legitimately generated as opposed to cynically engineered and laid on with a trowel.Pauline Collins is especially effective as a kindly biddy gradually losing what is left of her marbles, while Tom Courtenay embraces the chance to play a romantic hero in his role as a tetchy tenor whose hopes of a “dignified senility” are shattered by the arrival of old flame Maggie.Billy Connolly, meanwhile, hardly breaks a sweat as a randy git with priapic hots for Sheridan Smith’s long-suffering resident doctor.Yes, Michael Gambon is preposterously hammy as kaftan-sporting despot Cedric, while a scene in which Courtenay likens opera to rap for the benefit of some teenage visitors feels like a pathetic sop to a fantasy demographic (Hoodie-wearing Verdi fans? Mozart lovers with ASBOs?).It’s hard, too, to care that much whether the titular foursome resolve their differences in time for a climactic charity concert.Still, picking holes in Quartet is like playing a practical prank on your nan. Sure, it’s fun while you do it, but you’re bound to feel bad about it afterwards.Quartet News and Features

'Hanna' Director Joe Wright on First-Time Action and the Genius of the Chemical Brothers

Wed, 15 May 2013 03:22:10 EDT

Filed under: Celebrity Interviews, Hot Topic, New Releases, Cinematical Before 'Hanna,' Joe Wright was probably best known for his period dramas, and could easily have carved out a comfortable niche buttoning up beautiful actresses like Keira Knightley in too-tight clothing and putting them through the paces of anachronistic romances. But his new film reunites him with his other 'Atonement' star, Saoirse Ronan. This time, though, instead of ruining lives, she simply ends them, playing a pre-teen hitwoman who leaves a trail of bodies in her wake as she races to reunite with her retired-agent father (played by Eric Bana). Cinematical sat down with Wright as the director discussed creating fairy-tale imagery, chatted about his collaboration with electronic music luminaries the Chemical Brothers and offered some insights into the unspoken and unrevealed stories beneath the film's stylish surface.

'Iron Man 3' Writer Drew Pearce Will Accept 'Mission: Impossible 5'

Wed, 15 May 2013 03:22:09 EDT

After co-writing what has been the biggest movie of the year so far with Marvel's Iron Man 3, screenwriter Drew Pearce is staying in the business of blockbuster sequels at Paramount Pictures. THR has word that Pearce has been hired to script Mission: Impossible 5, which just confirmed Tom Cruise to return in the lead role as agent Ethan Hunt, reteaming with his Jack Reacher director Christopher McQuarrie for the next sequel. J.J. Abrams is producing once again through his Bad Robot banner along with David Ellison's Skydance Productions, who co-financed and executive produced the 2011 sequel Ghost Protocol. Plot details are being kept under wraps, but if there's one writer who can keep this series fresh after the last two impressive sequels, it's Pearce. His work on Iron Man 3 was clearly a home run, and there's not much to complain about with Marvel's sequel. It stayed true to the character of Tony Stark, continued to progress with a story ...

Here's today's latest casting news: Chris Pine (Star Trek) and Jake Gyllenhaal (Donnie Darko) are in discussions to join Into the Woods, the Rob Marshall-adaptation of the Broadway musical that stars Johnny Depp and Meryl Streep. Christoph Waltz (Django Unchained) has joined Stephen Gaghan's The Candy Store, which stars Robert De Niro, Jason Clake and Omar Sy. RZA (The Man with the Iron Fists) and Catalina Denis (Sleepless Night) will join Paul Walker in Brick Mansions, the Camille Delamarre-directed remake of Luc Besson's District B13. Hit the jump for more on each casting announcement. First up with news of Pine and Gyllenhaal circling the musical Into the Woods, Heat Vision reports that no offers have been made yet but each actor has met with and sang for Marshall. If deals are made, both Pine and Gyllenhaal would book their first on-screen singing roles. This darkly comic mash-up of classic fairy tales revolves around a childless baker and his wife, who journey into the woods to confront the witch that put the spell on them in order to lift a family curse, while encountering a group of characters including Rapunzel, Cinderella and Little Red Riding Hood, along the way. Streep will play the juicy role of the vain and silver-tongued Witch and Depp will play a sexed-up version of a hungry fairy tale wolf. Gyllenhaal and Pine are expected to play two princes - Cinderella’s and Rapunzel’s - brothers who are pompous and self-absorbed.

'Wild Bunch' Remake: Will Smith Eyes Modern-Day Reboot

Wed, 15 May 2013 03:21:48 EDT

He's busy working on remaking the musical classic “Annie,” but Will Smith already has yet another reboot in his sights: “The Wild Bunch.” Smith is currently in negotiations to star in and produce a revamped version of the 1969 classic western about a gang of aging outlaws set to pull off one final heist on the Mexican-American border in 1913. The reboot would be set in modern times, and focus on a disgraced DEA agent who pulls together a team to hunt down a Mexican drug lord -- and his money. Warner Bros. and Smith's producing partner, Jerry Weintraub, have been trying to wrangle together a “Wild Bunch” remake for some time, most recently with director Tony Scott on board and a screenplay half-finished. But that plan was put on hold after Scott's death last year, and now the filmmakers are looking for a new writer to pen the project. The Wrap notes that Smith has never made a “proper western,” which is true. He infamously rebooted the 1960s television show “Wild Wild West” in 1999, and the film disappointed with critics and audiences alike, barely recouping its production costs at the box office. Considering “The Wild Bunch”'s iconic legacy -- the film starred many Hollywood heavyweights, including William Holden and Ernest Borgnine -- it may be difficult for Smith's take to do it justice. If he can resist the urge to record a single to soundtrack the new film, that's already a step in the right direction. [via The Wrap]

Love in Time (2012) Movie Review

Wed, 15 May 2013 03:21:46 EDT

“Love in Time” is an old fashioned Hong Kong romantic comedy directed by Leefire, a multi-talented type also known as a playwright, radio host and song writer, following up on his not entirely successful 2007 “Give Love”, which he co-helmed with Joe Ma. Now making his solo debut, he offers up another slightly leftfield take on the genre, with popular TVB actor Bosco Wong (“Together”) and actress Stephy Tang (“East Meets West”) headlining as a couple of (hopefully!) distant cousins falling in love, with support from Sammy Leung (“Love Undercover”), Danny So (“The Way we Were”) and Zhao Ke (“Chase our Love”). Bosco Wong plays Cho, an amiable slacker type, who scrapes out a living by selling ice cream from his truck with his amusingly named friend and roommate, the womanising Beer (Sammy Leung), living together in a small flat owned by his uncle. Things change when Cho is forced to take in his cousin Tina (Stephy Tang), not least

‘Berberian Sound Studio’ Trailer is Like Movie Tech Geek Catnip

Wed, 15 May 2013 03:21:44 EDT

It might sound kind of weird to try to set a thriller in a sound design studio, what with their being the domain of nodes, dials, tech geeks, and whatnot, but that’s exactly what writer/director Peter Strickland has done with his new thriller Berberian Sound Studio, and various FSR reviewers seem to be in agreement that the results of this experiment are gorgeous and intriguing, if not a little bit befuddling and empty. The consensus seems to be that it’s a solid B-. If you want to catch a glimpse of what everyone is so interested in and confused by, as well as a taste of Toby Jones being innocuously creepy like only he can, and some insight into how they make all those gross wet noises for slasher movies, then follow the link and watch the film’s new trailer below. Right? All it takes is an Italian lady screaming, Toby Jones staring off into the distance, and a bunch of intense noises made by fruits and vegetables to get you squirming in your seat. Berberian Sound Studio looks to be the rare sort of movie that can be both educational and disgusting—at least from these two minutes of footage. There are those troubling parts of the provided reviews that intimate that things aren’t actually as skin crawling in the full film as they appear to be here though. Now is probably the time to consume all of this conflicting information and decide what your strategy for watching Berberian Sound

We've done it for NBC and we've done it for Fox, so now let's take a look at ABC's trailers for its new series. The network announced its 2013-2014 primetime schedule earlier today, and we're ready to rank the offerings. ABC has unleashed more promos for more new shows than either of the big networks that came before, and what's notable, watching them, is how male-centric both NBC and Fox's programming looks in comparison. ABC actually has some female-led series in its batch, though none of them come off as all that strong, at least in trailer form. The cream of ABC's crop, unsurprisingly, is Joss Whedon's "Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D." The production is slick and expensive looking, but so are plenty of other new shows -- what stands out here are the snippets of snappy dialog ("There are two ways we can do this." "Oh, is one of them the easy way?" No."). Whedon gives good geek -- he knows how to build out and respect a fantastical universe -- and while the characters do look like variations...

American Mary

Wed, 15 May 2013 03:21:43 EDT

Rape-revenge is the most morally dubious of genres, often made by those more interested in filming the former than dealing with its fallout.Some theorists even compound the crime by calling the likes of 1978’s leery I Spit On Your Grave “feminist” because they show a woman fighting back.Nice try.Though it loosely follows the formula, American Mary is one of the first such films that can legitimately lay claim to that label.Made by writer/director sisters Jen and Sylvia Soska – aka “The Twisted Twins” – and starring the formidable Katharine Isabelle (Ginger Snaps, Freddy Vs Jason), it’s a film that’s not about humiliation, but empowerment.Mary Mason (Isabelle) is a promising surgery student who stitches turkeys back together in her spare time.Auditioning as a stripper to make ends meet, she’s called upon by club owner Billy (Antonio Cupo) to fix up a torture victim, and soon becomes a kind of black-market saw-bones for mobsters, misfits and body-modification addicts such as Beatress (Tristan Risk), who wants to turn herself into a kind of living doll.Then things get really twisted. With her sheer black hair, bright red lipstick and ice-cool demeanour, Mary is a kickass heroine, and when her path leads her into sexual violence, we never abandon her POV for a moment.This is a character who refuses to be turned into a victim – or worse, an object – and the film follows her lead, opening up all sorts of debates on how women might flip the tables on men, reclaiming themselves, and their bodies, from becoming prisoners of patriarchy.True, amateurish supporting performances, a too-loose last act and other low-budget complaints threaten to turn the film from five-star classic to three-star contender.But it’s still a hell of a mission statement from the Soskas: sensitive, shocking and funny as hell.Besides, stitching two disparate halves together seems wholly appropriate under the circumstances.American Mary News and Features

Arnold Schwarzenegger in Talks for Role in 'Toxic Avenger' Remake

Tue, 14 May 2013 01:52:08 EDT

Over two years ago, we learned that Hot Tub Time Machine director Steve Pink was attached to direct a remake of the cult classic The Toxic Avenger. Since then, the only news we've heard on the project came late last summer when John Travolta was rumored for some sort of role in the film, but not the titular hero. Now another big name is in talks for a lead role, but again it's not to play Toxie himself. Variety has word that Arnold Schwarzenegger, who returned to leading movies this past January in The Last Stand is currently negotiating to take an unknown lead role in the reimagining of the 80s property. More below! The original film focused on a mop-wielding simpleton named Melvin, whose trusting ways made him easy prey for thugs who tossed him into a vat of toxic waste, thus turning him into The Toxic Avenger. A transformation after an encounter with some toxic waste gave him rippling ...

2 new MAN OF STEEL posters feature Superman in more flight

Tue, 14 May 2013 01:52:01 EDT

Zack Snyder's Man of Steel starring Henry Cavill, Amy Adams, Michael Shannon, Kevin Costner, Diane Lane and Russell Crowe has two new posters up to prep you for the upcoming Warner Bros. Pictures release on June 14th. It's hard to imagine that the film produced by Charles Roben, Christopher Nolan, Emma Thomas and Deborah Snyder is finally here. David S. Goyer wrote the script, from the story he wrote alongside Batman, The Dark Knight and The Dark Knight Rises helmer Christopher Nolan. In Man of Steel, a young boy learns that he has extraordinary powers and is not of this Earth. As a young man, he journeys to discover where he came from and what he was sent here to do. But the hero in him must emerge if he is to save the world from annihilation and become the symbol of hope for all mankind.

Film: Newswire: New movie will take you to Medieval Times, because that's where we're goin

A production consortium composed of Broken Road, Benderspink, and your dad who only sees you on weekends since the divorce have pooled their resources to take you to chainmail chain restaurant Medieval Times, Deadline reports. But you wanted to go to the movies, you whine, to which they reply through gritted teeth that Medieval Times is better than a movie, with its ordinary original ideas. It’s an experience, one that combines the thrill of watching jousting knights with the excitement of eating chicken, all cloaked in the shiny armor of brand recognition.

Garrett Hedlund to Star in Matthew Michael Carnahan’s Directorial Debut VIOLENT TALENT; Margot

Tue, 14 May 2013 01:51:48 EDT

Screenwriter Matthew Michael Carnahan (State of Play) is ready to make his directorial debut with the Chicago crime thriller Violent Talent. Garrett Hedlund (TRON: Legacy) has signed on to star---Margot Robbie (Pan Am), Tony Kebbell (War Horse), and Riz Ahmed (Four Lions) will take supporting roles. Per Deadline, Carnahan's script centers on "Eamon (Hedlund) as he and his two oldest friends Angel and Quan (Kebbell and Ahmed) try to build a criminal empire in a contemporary Chicago where he feels crime might be the most honest job around." Hedlund is from the Midwest (Minnesota), but I find it curious to cast two Brits (Kebbell, Ahmed) and an Aussie (Robbie) around him when the setting is so heavily accented. Better to surround him with good actors than good accents, though, and I like what I've seen of Kebbell, Ahmed, and Robbie. Plus, Robbie's American accent was good enough for me in Pan Am and, more importantly, good enough for Martin Scorsese to cast her as the female lead in The Wolf of Wall Street. Carnahan's work will next be seen (amid rewrites) in World War Z, opening June 26.

Tue, 14 May 2013 01:51:48 EDT

Moviefone's Blu-ray of the Week "Cloud Atlas" What's it about? Cloud Atlas delves into how the consequences of one's actions can travel farther than we know – through time and space, impacting lives even in the distant future. Why we're IN: Aside from its its all-star cast and dynamic action, Cloud Atlas has a plot that will put your brain through the wringer.

Marrying the Mafia 5: Return of the Family (2012) Movie Review

Tue, 14 May 2013 01:51:44 EDT

The “Marrying the Mafia” series has proved one of the most enduring and popular in Korean cinema, now reaching its fifth instalment and marking its tenth anniversary with “Return of the Family”. This fourth sequel to the original 2002 record-smashing blockbuster appropriately enough goes back to the roots of the franchise, and while the middle three entries followed another mob family, as the title suggests the film again focuses on the Jangs. Directed by Jeong Yong Ki and written and produced by Jung Tae Wong, who previously teamed on the second and third in the series, the film manages to bring back the original cast, including Jung Joon Ho (“My Boss, My Hero”), Yoo Dong Geun (“Sunday Punch”), Sung Dong Il (“The Grand Heist”) and Park Keun Hyung (“Lady President”). The film also bolsters its roster with a number of fresh faces, with various pop idols making their debuts including Yoon Doo Jun of BEAST, Hwang Kwang Hee of ZE:A

Somebody Broke One of the Rules: ‘Gremlins’ Are Set to Re-Infest Theaters Soon

Tue, 14 May 2013 01:51:43 EDT

So, there’s no way to ignore the fact that this bit of news is going to make a lot of people unhappy. As much as movie nerds like to pretend that they’re the sort of folks who are always looking for new voices and new ideas, like anyone else, we’re really just the sorts of little greed monsters who want to keep getting more of the stuff we like. That’s why film geeks have been calling for a third film in legendary director Joe Dante’s Gremlins series for years. Unfortunately for those who’ve been beating the Dante drum all this time, today the news broke that a Gremlins 3 isn’t likely going to ever happen. There has been a development for the property that’s either going to play like a consolation prize or a slap in the face though, depending on your perspective. Bloody Disgusting is reporting that Warner Bros. has decided to hit the reboot button on Gremlins, and they’ve hired Seth Grahame-Smith and David Katzenberg to produce the new take on these now classic monsters. If you’ll remember, Grahame-Smith and Katzenberg signed a deal with Warners back in 2011 that would see them forming Katzsmith Productions, a production wing of the company that would give the duo freedom to stretch their imaginations and develop properties for the studio to distribute. At the time, Katzenberg said of the deal, “We pride ourselves on coming up with a lot of our own ideas, about 90% of the projects we’ve generated

Watch The Trailer For Sundance Award Winning, Cannes Bound 'Fruitvale Station'

Tue, 14 May 2013 01:51:42 EDT

A few days ahead of its international debut in Cannes, The Weinstein Company has finally unveiled the trailer for Ryan Coogler's "Fruitvale Station," which took home both the Grand Jury Prize and Audience Award in Sundance's U.S. narrative section this winter (when it was known simply as "Fruitvale"). The film -- which is based on the true story of a young man who was shot to death by a police officer at the Oakland, California Fruitvale rapid transit station -- stars Michael B. Jordan, Octavia Spencer and Melonie Diaz and received rave reviews at Sundance on top of its prizes. After hitting Cannes it will make its way to U.S. theaters on July 16th, where The Weinstein Company surely hopes it will continue to follow in the footsteps of "Beasts of the Southern Wild." That film also won big at Sundance, then followed it up with Cannes and a successful summer release. Six or so months later, it was a best picture nominee. Check out the trailer below:

The Tower (2012) Movie Review

Sat, 11 May 2013 10:01:44 EDT

Like Hollywood, Korean cinema loves a good disaster movie, none more so than director Kim Ji Hoon, known for big budget spectacles such as “May 18” and “Sector 7”. Kim returns for more explosive extravagance with “The Tower”, basically a remake of the 1974 US classic “The Towering Inferno”, as a massive luxury residential building catches fire, leading to the expected scenes of destruction and loss of life. Variously falling out of windows or down elevator shafts are an impressive ensemble cast, including Son Ye Jin (Lover’s Concerto”), Sol Kyung Gu (“Haeundae”), Kim Sang Kyung (“Memories of Murder”), Cha In Pyo (“Hanbando”) and the ever-popular veteran star Ahn Sung Ki (“Unbowed”). The film certainly went down well with Korean audiences, and currently stands as one of the biggest hits of 2013, being the first film this year to reach the 5 million tickets milestone. Taking place on Christmas Eve, the film follows events that befall the luxury residential skyscraper Tower

Casting Couch: Owen Wilson Might Need Vintage Clothing for ‘Inherent Vice,’ William Fich

Sat, 11 May 2013 10:01:43 EDT

What is Casting Couch? Casting news. Today we’ve got updates on new roles for people like Michelle Williams, Laurence Fishburne, and—what the heck—let’s stick in a rumor about who might play the Scarlet Witch in Avengers 2 as well. It looks like Owen Wilson might be taking a trip back to the ’70s. The Wrap reports that he’s the latest name in negotiations to join Paul Thomas Anderson’s next film, his adaptation of Thomas Pynchon’s Inherent Vice. Never ones to let a good PTA rumor go uncommented on, Cigarettes & Red Vines then took this story and ran with it, contacting their own sources and discovering that the role Wilson is in talks for is that of Coy Harlingen, who’s described as being a surf-saxophone player and a heroin addict, and who may be the most Owen Wilson-y role ever written. Michael Bay had heard that Internet nerds have dismissed the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles movie that he’s producing outright, due to his casting of Megan Fox and his rumored changes of the Turtles’ story and whatnot, so he’s shrewdly decided to make a move that’s going to inevitably suck us all back in. Deadline is reporting that William Fichtner has just joined the film. Yes, that William Fichtner. The completely awesome one. Rumor has it he’s not just showing up for a few seconds playing some goon either. The report claims that the character he’s playing has “iconic stature in the Turtles’ mythology.” You win this round, Bay. History

Meet The Feebles (1989) Long ago, before director Peter Jackson became synonymous with visual-effects epics like the Lord Of The Rings trilogy and King Kong, he got his feet wet as a filmmaker in New Zealand on the shock-and-awe circuit, directing such cult splatterfests as Bad Taste and Dead Alive.

Check Out a Brief Look at Alfonso Cuaron’s GRAVITY, Starring Sandra Bullock and George Clooney

Wed, 8 May 2013 01:41:46 EDT

Want a little tease of footage from children of Men-director Alfonso Cuaron’s highly anticipated upcoming sci-fi drama, Gravity? Well, you got it! The visual effects-heavy 3D film stars Sandra Bullock (The Blind Side) as an astronaut stranded alone in space following a catastrophic event onboard a spacecraft. George Clooney (Ocean's Eleven), as glimpsed in this teaser, has a supporting role. Further details are under wraps, but the film is said to have an unbroken 17-minute opening shot and will feature plenty of mind-bending effects. Warner Bros. recently announced that the film will open on October 4th of this year. Hit the jump to check out a brief bit of footage and be sure to return on Thursday when the first trailer hits. Here's a brief little snippet (and a modified Wilhelm scream?) from Cuaron's Gravity: Here’s the synopsis for Gravity: Sandra Bullock plays Dr. Ryan Stone, a brilliant medical engineer on her first shuttle mission, with veteran astronaut Matt Kowalsky (George Clooney) in command of his last flight before retiring. But on a seemingly routine spacewalk, disaster strikes. The shuttle is destroyed, leaving Stone and Kowalsky completely alone–tethered to nothing but each other and spiraling out into the blackness. The deafening silence tells them they have lost any link to Earth…and any chance for rescue. As fear turns to panic, every gulp of air eats away at what little oxygen is left. But the only way home may be to go further out into the terrifying expanse of space.

Wed, 8 May 2013 01:41:42 EDT

The Weinstein Company has dropped the trailer for Lee Daniels' "The Butler," the director's ridiculously star-studded follow-up to "The Paperboy." Covering several decades in the life of White House butler Eugene Allen (Forest Whitaker), the film's supporting cast includes Oprah Winfrey (as Allen's wife in a sizeable role compared to most of the cast), David Oyelowo, Colman Domingo, John Cusack, Alan Rickman, Jane Fonda, Melissa Leo, Liev Schreiber, Jesse Williams, Aml Ameen, Lenny Kravitz and Cuba Gooding Jr. The trailer -- which has no shame showing off the endless cast -- suggests much more conventional fare than "The Paperboy" (which had some fans but was generally trashed by critics), potentially returning Daniels to the Oscar race after "Precious" became the first film directed by an African-American to get a best picture nomination.

It's a Star Wars reunion of sorts in the old west today as Deadline reports that Ewan McGregor will be joining Natalie Portman for Gavin O'Connor's Jane Got a Gun . He's replacing the recently departed Bradley Cooper as the film's chief antagonist. Also starring Joel Edgerton and Rodrigo Santoro, Jane Got a Gun centers on a woman who must ask an ex-lover for help in order to save her outlaw husband from a gang who are out to kill him. Originally set for Lynne Ramsay to direct, Jane Got a Gun is now being helmed by O'Connor and the production has not been without some troubles.

Ewan McGregor to Play JANE GOT A GUN Villain; Benicio del Toro in Talks for INHERENT VICE; Sophia My

Tue, 7 May 2013 01:51:48 EDT

The forced theme of tonight's casting report is One Word In The Title Causes Destruction: Ewan McGregor is in negotiations to play the villain in Jane Got a Gun, directed by Gavin O'Connor (Warrior). Natalie Portman, Joel Edgerton, and Noah Emmerich co-star. Benicio del Toro is in talks to join Joaquin Phoenix in Paul Thomas Anderson's adaptation of the Thomas Pynchon novel Inherent Vice. Michael Bay cast Sophia Myles (Tristan + Isolde) in Transformers 4. Mark Wahlberg, Nicola Peltz, Jack Reynor, and Kelsey Grammer co-star. Hit the jump for more on each project. Jane Got a Gun defines troubled production. Michael Fassbender, Jude Law, Bradley Cooper, and director Lynne Ramsey have all departed the project over the last two months for one reason or another. But it is impressive that the project lured such talent in the first place, and replaced every disappointing loss with another great actor---McGregor continues the streak, should he sign on to play the villain as Deadline reports. Here is the AFM synopsis: Young and pretty with a soul of pure steel, Jane Hammond (Portman) is a good girl married to one of the worst baddies in town. When her husband Bill (Emmerich) turns against his own gang, the vicious Bishop Boys, and returns home barely alive with eight bullets in his back, Jane knows it’s time to ditch the dress for a pair of pants and strap on her own gun. As the relentless leader John Bishop (McGregor) gears up for revenge, Jane’s best hope for her family’s survival rests with ...

Superman: Unbound (2013) Movie Review

Tue, 7 May 2013 01:51:46 EDT

“Superman: Unbound” is the 16th movie from DC now under the DC Animated Universe name, and like all of those that came before it, it is another solid entry into their series of direct to disc films. Based on the Action Comics story arc “Brainiac” by Geoff Johns, the comic aimed to retcon the villain a bit as well as return him to being a true threat to the Man of Steel. The fifth movie to star Superman, this one takes a well known villain and some classic story elements and creates a well written drama filled with action and emotion. Brainiac is a villain that has gone through many incarnations over the decades. When he first appeared he was a green skinned guy in short pants and a purple top with some mental abilities and a force field, which is the look he held all the way til “Superfriends” and the 80’s where he got his robo-skeleton look and

Tom Cruise Will Return for ‘Mission: Impossible 5′ But All We Really Want Is a ‘Ja

Tue, 7 May 2013 01:51:44 EDT

File this announcement under “Duh.” While it’s been rumored since Mission: Impossible – Ghost Protocol banked nearly $700 million worldwide it’s only just become official that Tom Cruise will be returning for a fifth impossible mission. You’d think by this point the IMF would simply accept that the missions being given to Ethan Hunt are actually possible after all, but I’m no secret agent so what do I know. Details as to who will direct, write and co-star are still probably months away (at least), but it’s confirmed that Cruise will produce alongside J.J. Abrams’ Bad Robot shingle. Brad Bird directed the fourth installment to the series’ greatest heights, but the rumor mill has Christopher McQuarrie on tap to helm the latest. He’s a frequent Cruise collaborator, most recently as the writer/director of the wonderfully entertaining ’90s throwback, Jack Reacher. While that film has made enough money globally to make Paramount interested in a sequel its domestic box-office suggests audiences prefer Cruise in larger scale productions. The question is, can McQuarrie handle something as big as a Mission: Impossible movie? And if not McQuarrie, then who else should be handed the reigns? Easy. Give it to Gareth Evans or Joe Cornish and let McQuarrie get to work on a script for Jack Reacher 2.
