Americans vote fictional politics on screen a hit – but reality is a turn-off
1 hour ago | The Guardian - TV News | See recent The Guardian - TV News news »
TV and cinema are turning again to life in the White House and on the campaign trail for drama while the approval ratings for real politicians are at rock bottom
She is a former first lady turned top diplomat. She had a president for a husband who was notorious for infidelity. But, with her scrappy guile and sheer determination, she remains a heroine to many ordinary Americans who desperately want her to run for the Oval Office.
But this is not secretary of state Hillary Clinton. This is Elaine Barrish Hammond, a fictional politician played by Sigourney Weaver who is about to hit television screens in a new six-part drama called Political Animals.
American politics has rarely looked this good. In a trailer for the show briefly put online, Weaver's Hammond cuts a sexy figure, with red hair to match her figure-hugging red clothing. In one scene Hammond compares herself to great women from history. »

Is Catwoman wearing Batman's trousers?
25 May 2012 8:47 AM, PDT | The Guardian - Film News | See recent The Guardian - Film News news »
Amid excited talk about the Caped Crusader's sexuality, we're offered a glimpse of his next filmic exploits – and on-screen kiss
It's been an intriguing week for fans of Batman. First up, the ever-attentive Mail Online raised the unlikely prospect that the caped crusader is about to be outed as gay by DC comics. Then we got two new TV spots for Christopher Nolan's forthcoming The Dark Knight Rises and finally the first gander at the forthcoming animated take on Frank Miller's The Dark Knight Returns, the debut part of which is due out in the autumn.
Guardian books blogger David Barnett has covered the Mail's spurious contention in detail here. I suppose the one thing that can be said for shifting Batman's sexuality from a filmic point of view is that it might cast an entirely new light on the Joel Schumacher years.

Will Smith admits his son wanted him to do a 'Bad Boys' sequel before 'Men in Black 3'
25 May 2012 12:30 AM, PDT | Hitfix | See recent Hitfix news »
There are only a few actors who can charm any room they walk into. Having worked in the industry for years, I've seen it first hand. You may dislike their movie, performance or find their personal life distasteful, but somehow they have a natural charisma that has helped turn them survive the ups and downs of superstardom. Currently, that list includes names such as, yes, John Travolta, George Clooney, Sandra Bullock, Robert Downey, Jr., Reese Witherspoon, Tom Hanks, Julia Roberts and Will Smith. Among those eight actors only one has found themselves on the cinematic sidelines for the past three years. »

Anna Kendrick: 'It's all about that fatal flaw'
24 May 2012 4:07 PM, PDT | The Guardian - Film News | See recent The Guardian - Film News news »
From ruthless debate-team captain to corporate axe-wielder, Anna Kendrick tells how strident character choices allow her to live out a personal fantasy of assertiveness
It's a shock to find Anna Kendrick curled up in a bathrobe when I enter her hotel suite. On closer inspection, though, the 26-year-old turns out to be beneath the robe, rather than inside it. "I do have clothes on under here," she squeaks. "It's just so cold." She is perky, with subtly Manga-esque features – wide-open eyes and a tiny, expressive mouth – but she hasn't had the most relaxing morning. Whisked to Salford at bleary o'clock to appear on breakfast TV, she got stuck in traffic on the way back to London and hasn't eaten all day, hence the pizza that she begins nibbling on while we talk.
Not that Kendrick would bemoan her lot. "I'm the person who wouldn't send back my food even if »

Gabriel Garko: Rudolph Valentino
24 May 2012 12:34 PM, PDT | Alt Film Guide | See recent Alt Film Guide news »
Gabriel Garko (photo) will play Rudolph Valentino (aka Rodolfo Valentino in places like Italy and Brazil) in a two-part Italian TV movie. To be directed by Alessio Inturri for Mediaset, the Valentino project is reportedly to be filmed this year in both Italy and the United States. Gabriel Garko, who’ll turn 38 next July 12, has worked steadily on Italian television. His feature-film appearances, however, have been sporadic. Most notable among those were supporting roles in Ferzan Ozpetek’s gay/bisexual drama Le fate ignoranti / The Ignorant Fairies (2001) and Franco Zeffirelli’s Callas Forever (2002). In terms of movie fandom, the Italian-born Rudolph Valentino was the George Clooney / Robert Pattinson / Johnny Depp / Zac Efron of the early-to-mid-’20s. One of Hollywood’s earliest superstars, Valentino’s movie career skyrocketed in 1921, after he was featured in Rex Ingram’s blockbuster The Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse and in George Melford’s The Sheik. »

Obama, Dems Fight To Keep Edge
23 May 2012 12:16 PM, PDT | Huffington Post | See recent Huffington Post news »
Colorado Springs, Colo. -- His cash advantage threatened, President Barack Obama and his party are redoubling their fundraising efforts after robust hauls by Republican rival Mitt Romney and a slew of Gop-leaning super PACs that are raking in cash from the party faithful highly motivated to topple the Democrat.
Obama still has a significant edge, but it's shrinking rapidly.
That explains why the president, fresh off of back-to-back international summits, was plunging back into his re-election race Wednesday with a series of fundraising events in Denver and California's Silicon Valley as he looks to stockpile cash to pay for his coast-to-coast organization, advertising to spread his message and get-out-the-vote operations in key states.
It's the start of an extensive money push by Obama in the coming weeks that will feature a series of high-end fundraisers, including New York events with former President Bill Clinton and actress Sarah Jessica Parker and »

Ben Affleck, Matt Damon & More Rake In Big Bucks For Liz Warren
22 May 2012 2:20 PM, PDT | Huffington Post | See recent Huffington Post news »
Ben Affleck joins the ranks of George Clooney, Ryan Murphy and other Hollywood figures who are throwing their celebrity behind the Democrats this election season. The actor hosted a massive fundraiser for Elizabeth Warren, who is running to take Ted Kennedy's Massachusetts senate seat back for the Democrats from the incumbent, Scott Brown.
The guest list for the event reads like a red carpet tip sheet at an awards show, with "The Office's" John Krasinski, Matt Damon, Jennifer Garner (Affleck's wife), Reese Witherspoon, Zach Braff, Tobey Maguire and other celebrities in attendance. Unsurprisingly, Harvey Weinstein, Jeffrey Katzenberg, Steven Spielberg and a host of other Hollywood bigwigs sent checks.
Sources tell THR that well over $250,000 was raised for Warren's campaign at the event, which took place at J.J. Abrams' studio in Santa Monica. Though it's a far cry from the $15 million Clooney and company raked in for the president, »

Is Crowd Funding the Future of Film? #2 - How Does Crowd Funding Work?
21 May 2012 11:35 PM, PDT | Flickeringmyth | See recent Flickeringmyth news »
D.J. Haza continues his series of articles on crowd funding...
Throughout this series of articles I plan to look at the growing popularity of crowd funding amongst indie filmmakers and explore what it is, if its works and what the pros are of getting thousands of small donations from regular people instead of one large cheque from an investor or studio when acquiring funding for your films.
2. How Does Crowd Funding Work?
Crowd funding isn’t necessarily something new, but seems to be becoming increasingly popular with indie filmmakers, who have traditionally had the most difficulty securing finance for their films. Indie filmmakers are generally either first time feature makers, making niche genre films or like to work outside of the system. That means they either haven’t made anything and don’t have a recognisable name, make films with small audiences or have burnt bridges with everyone else they have worked with. »

Rachel McAdams Joining Philip Seymour Hoffman In A Most Wanted Man
21 May 2012 6:12 PM, PDT | cinemablend.com | See recent Cinema Blend news »
Rachel McAdams seemed to have been hitting a lull in her career in the last few years, sputtering out with the actually delightful workplace comedy Morning Glory, not to mention a string of flops before that-- The Time Traveler's Wife and State of Play, plus the virtually unseen indies The Lucky Ones and Married LIfe. But last spring's Midnight in Paris was the start of a new winning streak that culminated with this year's The Vow, a romantic drama that has actually outgrossed her monster hit The Notebook from 2004. Sure, she hasn't turned The Vow into a mega-year quite the way her co-star Channing Tatum has, but she's doing pretty well, and she looks to be continuing her hot streak with A Most Wanted Man, the John le Carre novel adaptation that already has Philip Seymour Hoffman set to star.

Tom Cruise To Star In Remake Of 'The Magnificent Seven' For MGM
21 May 2012 4:21 PM, PDT | The Playlist | See recent The Playlist news »
"The Seven Samurai" is, as we recounted not long ago, a film that has been ripped-off and remade many times before. But the most famous of them is "The Magnificent Seven," the 1960 John Sturges Western that took Akira Kurosawa's classic and moved it to the Old West, for the story of a Mexican village who hire seven gunfighters to defend them from bandits. As a remake itself, it would seem to be fair game for a new version, but while new takes on, say, "The Wild Bunch" have been discussed, there's surprisingly been little word on a potential re-do of Sturges' film, despite the high-drama premise and potential star-power it could draw (although the Weinsteins were trying to get a "Seven Samurai" remake going).
Until now, that is. Variety report that remake-friendly MGM (who have "Red Dawn," "WarGames" and "Death Wish" in the works already) are delving into the archives to plan a remake, »
