Box office: 'Iron Man 3' crosses $1 billion mark worldwide
11 hours ago | Hitfix | See recent Hitfix news »
Tony Star may have already been a billionaire, but now "Iron Man 3" has joined the club. The Marvel threequel, starring Robert Downey Jr. in the title role, has officially earned over $1 billion at the worldwide box office in just 22 days. Additionally, "Iron Man 3" crossed the $300 million mark at the domestic box office on Wednesday. The Shane Black-directed film currently stands at No. 16 on the list of all-time grossing films, blasting past "Pirates of the Caribbean: At World’s End" ($963 million), "Jurassic Park" ($967 million) and "Harry Potter and the Sorcerer’s Stone" ($975 million).

Iron Man 3 Crosses The $1 Billion Mark In 23 Days
15 hours ago | cinemablend.com | See recent Cinema Blend news »
After the massive success of The Avengers, Marvel's next venture Iron Man 3 was expected to open huge. And it did, earning $63.8 million on its first day of release in the United States. Having opened abroad even earlier, the latest Tony Stark actioner has been churning towards the billion dollar mark for weeks. And Variety reports it officially bypassed that landmark point yesterday, just 23 days after its opening day in countries like Australia, Sweden, Taiwan, and Italy. In the Us, Iron Man 3 opened just two weeks ago, but already has earned more than $300 million domestically. In China, it's made $104.2 million to date, justifying to some the inclusion of region-specific scenes. And with its global box office total crossing $1 billion, the action-packed blockbuster becomes the second Marvel/Disney collaboration to pass that point. The Avengers managed to make that mark in 19 days, a world record the superhero epic shared with »
5 Movie Mistakes Caused By CGI
19 hours ago | Obsessed with Film | See recent Obsessed with Film news »
Computer Effects have always been a staple of cinema. In the 60s, several independent films gave a shot at producing realistic monsters and effects. When Star Wars came about in the 70s people were spellbound by the Lasers and Lightsabers and all the other goodies George Lucas and Industrial Light and Magic brought us. Since then CGI has taken cinema to new worlds and shown us new events that we could only dream of.
Perhaps the greatest advancement in the world of film in recent years has been the improvements made to Computer Generated Images. Michael Bay has stood atop the box office with a money net almost entirely on the basis that he can bring an extravaganza of special effects to his films. James Cameron gave grace and nightmarish detail to the sinking of the Titanic and lush and spellbinding beauty to the world of Pandora in Avatar. George Lucas »

Top 50 Richest Celebrities, Which Actress is Richer Than Oprah?
21 hours ago | WorstPreviews.com | See recent Worst Previews news »
Which American actress is richer than Oprah? According to a new list, "Seinfeld" star Julia Louis-Dreyfus is worth a whopping $3 billion, beating Oprah by $300 million and becoming the fourth richest celebrity (singers, rappers, actors, models). Louis-Dreyfus didn't earn all that money from her work on "Seinfeld." In fact, most of it comes from her family. But that's not to say that "Seinfeld" didn't make her richer. Both Jerry Seinfeld and Larry David made the list, each being worth $800 million. What's interesting is that Keanu Reeves is worth $350 million, which is more than Will Smith ($200 million) and Bruce Springsteen ($200 million). But that's nothing comparing to the person who took first place, George Lucas, who's worth $7.3 billion, mostly thanks to the sale of "Star Wars" to Disney. Check out the top 50 list below: 1. George Lucas: $7.3 Billion 2. Dina Merrill: $5 Billion 3. Steven Spielberg: $3 Billion 4. Julia Louis-Dreyfus: $3 Billion 5. Oprah Winfrey: »
Leonardo DiCaprio: 'The Great Gatsby' star's 5 best movie roles
17 May 2013 1:00 AM, PDT | Digital Spy | See recent Digital Spy - Movie News news »
While the critical response to Baz Luhrmann's lavish take on The Great Gatsby has been lukewarm, reviews have by and large praised Leonardo DiCaprio's central turn as the mysterious, tragic Jay Gatsby.
Digital Spy looks back on five of DiCaprio's most iconic performances.
What's Eating Gilbert Grape (1993)
At the tender age of 19, DiCaprio earned his first Oscar nomination for Lasse Hallström's touching family drama. Playing the mentally retarded younger brother of Johnny Depp's put-upon Gilbert Grape, DiCaprio was deservedly singled out for praise by almost every critic despite being a virtual unknown. It's an intensely likeable and physically specific performance that elevates an otherwise predictable story.
The Basketball Diaries (1995)
Adapted from Jim Carroll's autobiographical novel, Scott Kalvert's drama tracked a high school basketball star's descent into drug addiction. The film debuted to decidedly mixed reviews, but again DiCaprio came out largely unscathed, with Rolling »
Zoe Saldana talks about all the ways 'the boys' made her laugh on 'Star Trek Into Darkness'
15 May 2013 11:05 PM, PDT | Hitfix | See recent Hitfix news »
I am mesmerized by Zoe Saldana's "hot schoolmarm" thing that's going on in this interview. I'm not sure what she's wearing or what she's doing with her hair, but I definitely hear a Van Halen song when I look at her. Saldana is currently Hollywood's busiest alien. She's about to start work on "Guardians Of The Galaxy," introducing her into the Marvel Universe, and James Cameron is supposedly still hard at work on the scripts for "Avatar 2" and "Avatar 3," which he hopes to shoot back to back starting sometime next year. I'd love to know if she's already training »

'Insert Me Anywhere': Netflix Offers Up Tobias Fünke's Internet Video Audition Reel
15 May 2013 12:58 PM, PDT | Indiewire Television | See recent Indiewire Television news »
With "Arrested Development" set to make its return via Netflix on May 26th, the streaming platform has been stepping up marketing efforts with some innovative approaches to touting the long-absent show. Netflix has been releasing posters representing each character with a signature object (like an ice cream sandwich or a hook prosthetic) and touring the globe with the Bluth Banana Stand (today's location was Times Square, with prizes given to the first 96 attendees arriving in cutoffs for the "Never Nudes reunion"). But insertmeanywhere.biz is a step beyond -- supposedly the website of David Cross' doctor turned aspiring actor Tobias Fünke, the site is really a would-be meme generator offering up clips and photos of Cross as Tobias in different costumes in front of a green screen.

The viral campaign for the new season of "Arrested Development" is picking up steam, and today Ron Howard tweeted out the sweetest morsel yet. Tobias Fünke has created a series of green screen videos for an internet audition tape.

Be sure to check out his official site, where Tobias also shows off a few different characters like an action hero and a cowboy, so that he can be inserted in a wide variety of places. There's also an ad on the site for a juice company that Tobias did an ad for. ManGo juice is "like having a Mango in your mouth."

DVD Review: 'Side by Side'
14 May 2013 12:28 AM, PDT | CineVue | See recent CineVue news »
★★★★☆ Christopher Kenneally's Side by Side (2012) is a timely and level-headed look at the challenge the digital process presents to century-old photochemical filmmaking. Coming at a crucial turning point for cinema and featuring interviews with some of cinema's most important contemporary directors, Side by Side functions as an essential state-of-the-nation view of filmmaking; taking stock of the past and looking to the future. By neither patronising the audience nor ascribing too much knowledge, Kenneally and interviewer Keanu Reeves strike the perfect tone, creating a film which is both informative and entertaining.
Side by Side charts the development and process of both digital and celluloid production with remarkable vigour and meticulousness, demonstrating that the technological decisions made in filmmaking are just as creative and vital as the artistic ones. By focusing on film history from a technological point of view, Side by Side offers an intriguing alternative narrative for the last »

Gatsby Opening Weekend B.O.: Ahead or Behind Titanic?
13 May 2013 7:02 PM, PDT | Alt Film Guide | See recent Alt Film Guide news »
Leonardo DiCaprio The Great Gatsby movie box office: DiCaprio’s second biggest opening ever — but trailing Titanic in ticket sales The Great Gatsby movie adaptation of F. Scott Fitzgerald’s classic novel earned $50.08m at the North American box office this past weekend, including $3.25 million from late Thursday night showings, according to weekend box-office actuals found at Box Office Mojo. Despite mostly poor reviews — The Great Gatsby has a 32% approval rating and 5.6/10 average among Rotten Tomatoes‘ top critics — the Baz Luhrmann-directed take on the love story between Leonardo DiCaprio’s Jay Gatsby and Carey Mulligan’s Daisy Buchanan far surpassed the expectations of both distributor Warner Bros. and box-office pundits. In fact, The Great Gatsby trailed only Robert Downey Jr’s Iron Man 3, which collected $72.52 million at the domestic box office this past weekend. (Photo: Leonardo DiCaprio in The Great Gatsby.)

Russian Billionaire Reveals 'Avatar'-Inspired Project to Let People Live Forever

Freddy Mercury and Queen once asked “who wants to live forever?” on the album A Kind of Magic (which is the unofficial soundtrack to Highlander) – and Russian billionaire Dmitry Itskov has apparently answered with "me." In something that feels like it came straight out of a sci-fi movie – which is fitting, since it was inspired by James Cameron’s Avatar – Itskov has revealed an ambitious plan to transplant human minds into holographic and nanotech bodies by the year 2045. And you thought the Tupac hologram performance was amazing… Billed as “The 2045 Initiative” and "The Avatar Project," Itskov’s movement hopes to bring about human immortality while creating a kind of utopia on Earth that changes...

FilmNation: Art, Commerce and Staying Alive
13 May 2013 8:00 AM, PDT | Variety - Film News | See recent Variety - Film News news »
Five years ago, Glen Basner and Steven Samuels took a leap of faith and started sales company FilmNation as the world’s economy went into a nosedive.
“It was a terrible time to start,” Samuels admits. “Everyone was in a preserve-and- protect mode and wanted to get out of their obligations. The silver lining is that we wound up revisiting all aspects of our (business) plans.”
Basner agrees, emphasizing that FilmNation needed to be flexible to get past the past — mainly by backing a few less-than-obvious projects rather than the panic approach of going for volume.
We started to operate in different ways that made better sense for the new world order,” he says. “We were focused on having a diversified slate of films — a mixture of commercial wide-release films like ‘Sanctum’ and specialty films such as ‘The King’s Speech.’”
In the five years since FilmNation debuted, the movie business has undergone deep changes, »

Cannes Honcho Thierry Fremaux Is Hollywood’s Inside Man
13 May 2013 7:57 AM, PDT | Variety - Film News | See recent Variety - Film News news »
When Baz Luhrmann’s “The Great Gatsby” raises the curtain on the 2013 Cannes Film Festival, it will serve, among other things, as an indication that the love affair between the festival and Hollywood is alive and well — much more than the last time Luhrmann opened Cannes, 12 years ago, with “Moulin Rouge.” Back then, relations between Cannes and Tinseltown had hit something of a low, with few studio films of the late ’90s making the trek to the Croisette (“Beyond Rangoon,” anyone?). When he joined Cannes in 2001, festival director Thierry Fremaux was immediately tasked by fest president Gilles Jacob with a peacemaking mission to the West Coast, and the decade since has been one of the richest for le cinema Americain on the Riviera — even if the biggest Cannes-launched Oscar winner of recent years was a French production: “The Artist.”

'Gatsby' Director Responds To Criticism
13 May 2013 6:28 AM, PDT | Huffington Post | See recent Huffington Post news »
Baz Luhrmann was ready to take the blame if "The Great Gatsby" flopped.
Now that it's a hit, he has every right to take the credit.
Luhrmann and his wife, Catherine Martin, spent three years "living and breathing" F. Scott Fitzgerald's life and works in preparation for this film. "We are total and utter research nuts," Luhrmann told The Huffington Post on Friday. "We could research forever and never make the movie."
Case in point: Luhrmann read that Fitzgerald and his wife, Zelda, had glimpsed the Statue of Liberty one morning from an ocean liner arriving in New York Harbor. "So we went to England and we came on an ocean liner to New York," he said.
Luhrmann's monumental research effort informed every aspect of the film -- and it helps explain why a collection of prominent Fitzgerald scholars and insiders have embraced the adaptation, even as some critics cry, »
