Romeo And Juliet for Twilight Crowd

19 May 2012 11:11 PM, PDT | Alt Film Guide | See recent Alt Film Guide news »

Romeo and Juliet: Hailee Steinfeld, Douglas Booth Starring Lol‘s Douglas Booth and True Grit‘s Hailee Steinfeld, a new version of Romeo and Juliet is currently being shopped around at the Cannes Film Festival. Partly financed by Austrian design house Swarovski, this latest adaptation of Shakespeare’s love story was written by Academy Award winner Julian Fellowes (Gosford Park) and directed by Carlo Carlei. A Best New Director David di Donatello nominee for The Flight of the Innocent (1993), Carlei’s previous English-language foray, the Matthew Modine vehicle Fluke, was a major box-office flop in 1995. In recent years, Carlei has worked on Italian television; his most recent TV movie was a remake of Roberto Rossellini’s Il General della Rovere (2011), starring Pierfrancesco Favino in the old Vittorio De Sica role. According to the Los Angeles Times blog 24 Frames, producer Ileen Maisel wants “every teenager in the world to come see” Romeo and Juliet. »

Cannes Film Festival 50 Years Ago: Photo Flashback

16 May 2012 4:00 AM, PDT | PEOPLE.com | See recent PEOPLE.com news »

These days, Hollywood's most familiar faces - from Leonardo DiCaprio to Kirsten Dunst to Angelina Jolie - bring their star power to the French Riviera for the Cannes Film Festival. But before them, glitz and glamour was defined by big-screen veterans such as Warren Beatty and Natalie Wood (pictured here in black-and-white nearly 20 years before she mysteriously drowned). In honor of the 65th annual Cannes Film Festival, which begins Wednesday with a screening of Wes Anderson's star-studded Moonrise Kingdom (its ensemble cast includes Bruce Willis, Edward Norton, Bill Murray and Tilda Swinton), Life.com is paying homage to old »

Video Vault: The Searchers

10 May 2012 5:00 AM, PDT | HeyUGuys.co.uk | See recent HeyUGuys news »

There are few more tragic losses in the history of Hollywood film than the disappearance of the western. Once one of the most popular genres in cinema, the myth of the west has been replaced with box-office focused action movies which dedicate more time to explosions than to character development or setting the scene. The true magnitude of this loss cannot be appreciated without seeing the John Ford 1956 classic The Searchers.

The Searchers is the story of Ethan Edwards (John Wayne), who, along with his adopted nephew Martin Pawley (Jeffrey Hunter), goes on an arduous, years-long quest to find his kidnapped niece Debbie (played first by Lana Wood, then elder sister Natalie). Whilst this may sound like the standard cowboys and Indians fare (and much of the film is), there’s also a significant amount going on under the surface, not least in the sense that Ethan’s highly questionable »

DVD Playhouse--May 2012

DVD Playhouse – May 2012

By Allen Gardner

Shame (20th Century Fox) Director Steve McQueen’s harrowing portrait of a Manhattan sex addict (Michael Fassbender, in the year’s most riveting performance) whose psyche goes into overload when his equally-troubled sister (Carey Mulligan) visits unexpectedly. Exquisitely-made on every level, save for the screenplay, which makes its point after about thirty minutes. While it tries hard to be a modern-day Last Tango in Paris, this fatal flaw makes it fall somewhat short. The much- ballyhooed sex scenes and frontal nudity are the least-interesting things about the film, incidentally, which is still a must-see for discriminating adults who seek out challenging material. Also available on Blu-ray disc. Bonuses: Featurettes. Widescreen. Dolby and DTS-hd 5.1 surround.

Being John Malkovich (Criterion) Spike Jonze’s madcap film of Charlie Kaufman’s script, regarding a socially-disenfranchised puppeteer (John Cusack) who finds a portal into the mind of actor »

Natalie Wood's Sister Fears For Troubled Niece

3 May 2012 12:16 PM, PDT | WENN | See recent WENN news »

Natalie Wood's sister fears for the life of her troubled niece Courtney, insisting the 38 year old has "spiralled out of control".

Courtney Wagner - the daughter of actor Robert Wagner and the late Rebel Without a Cause beauty Wood - was arrested on 22 April on suspicion of cocaine and heroin possession after cops were called to her California home to investigate reports of a domestic disturbance and the sound of gunfire. She was released after posting $10,000 (£6,250) bail.

And now the tragic icon's sister and Diamonds Are Forever actress Lana Wood has opened up about her grave concerns for Courtney, admitting the she turned to drugs once cops reopened the case into her famous mother's drowning last year.

She tells the National Enquirer, "My sister would be devastated if she knew how Courtney has ruined her life. She was Natalie's golden girl - the child she always longed for with R. J. (Wagner)... She was a stunning child and just so young when Natalie died. Both parents doted on her. But R.J.'s love hasn't saved her from a life that's spiralled out of control...

"She was rushed to the hospital some years ago after attempting suicide, but in the past few years the poor girl has become an emotional tragedy. For a time she was receiving psychiatric care... This is a terrible tragedy."

Natalie passed away in November, 1981, when Courtney was just seven years old. The investigation into her drowning death off the coast of California death has since been ruled a cold case. »

West Side Story This is the third Blu-ray incarnation of the classic 1961 musical starring Natalie Wood that puts the story of Romeo and Juliet in a 1950s New York setting.

Courtney Wagner Arrested - Police Find Heroin, Cocaine in Malibu Home of Natalie Wood's Daughter

30 April 2012 6:36 PM, PDT | National Ledger | See recent National Ledger news »

Natalie Wood and Robert Wagner's daughter has been arrested on suspicion of drug possession after an incident at her California house which led to a gunshot. Courtney Wagner, 38, was detained after cops were called to her home in Malibu earlier this month to investigate reports of a domestic disturbance and the sound of gunfire. Police officers detained Wagner on suspicion of felony drug possession after allegedly finding cocaine and heroin at the property, while an unnamed male was arrested on a charge of negligent discharge of a firearm, according to TMZ.com. Nobody was hurt in the incident and Wagner was released on $10,000 (£6,250) bail the following day. Courtney's mother, Natalie Wood, drowned off the coast of Catalina Island in 1981, while on a trip with Robert Wagner and Christopher Walken. But decades since the on-screen siren's death, there are still whisperings of foul play. In November 2011, Los Angeles police uncovered »

Natalie Wood's daughter Courtney Wood arrested for drug possession

30 April 2012 12:32 PM, PDT | Pop2it | See recent Pop2it news »

Courtney Wood, the 38-year-old daughter of Robert Wagner and the late Natalie Wood, was arrested on Sunday (April 29) for possession of cocaine and heroin at her Malibu home.

Cops were called to her house, reports TMZ, after a neighbor reported hearing a gunshot and a woman screaming. When officers arrived, they determined she was in possession of illegal drugs and she was placed under arrest. Another person in the house was also arrested for "negligent discharge of a firearm."

Wood posted $10,000 and is now, we presume, back home. No official statement has been made by either wood or her father.

Wood drowned after falling off of a boat docked on California's Catalina Island in March 1981.  »

Natalie Wood's Daughter Arrested

30 April 2012 6:10 AM, PDT | Huffington Post | See recent Huffington Post news »

Natalie Wood and Robert Wagner's daughter, Courtney Wagner, has been arrested for cocaine and heroin possession, stemming from a violent incident last Sunday, TMZ reports.

Wagner was involved in a heated altercation inside of her Malibu home that ended with a gunshot. A bystander, who heard screaming and the gunshot from the house, called the police. Upon their arrival, authorities found both cocaine and heroin in the 38-year-old's home. The film legends' daughter is reportedly charged with suspicion of felony drug possession and is currently out on bail.

As for the gunshot, no one was wounded but the unidentified male with whom Wagner was arguing was arrested for "negligent discharge of a firearm," according to TMZ.

But like mother, like daughter, when it comes to involvement in eyebrow-raising incidents. Courtney's mother, Natalie Wood, drowned off the coast of Catalina Island in 1981, while on a trip with Robert Wagner and Christopher Walken. »
