Sydney tribute film faces legal action from owner of Paris Je T’aime
24 May 2012 9:56 PM, PDT | Encore Magazine | See recent Encore Magazine news »
Tropfest founder John Polson and collaborator Gary Hamilton have been accused of copyright infringement in their project to create a film about Sydney through a series of vignettes.
Emmanuel Benbihy, the creator of the similarly structured Paris Je T’aime, has been to court in France, claiming copyright and trademark infringement over Sydney Unplugged. He has won an order of seizure which orders the release of documents relating to the project.
Polson and Hamilton, who is MD of Sydney-based production company Arclight Films, were this week believed to be in Cannes attempting to sell rights to the film.
In 2006 Benbihy produced Paris Je T’aime, his first in a series of feature films based on vignettes compiled by different directors and set in a particular city. It was followed by New York, I Love You.
When the Sydney project was first revealed last June, Polson told Encore magazine it was called Sydney, »

Madeleine Stowe To Direct Her $5 Million Screenplay
23 May 2012 1:06 AM, PDT | WENN | See recent WENN news »
The Last Of The Mohicans star Madeleine Stowe is finally bringing her western screenplay to the big screen after turning down $5 million (£3.1 million) to hand the project over to movie bosses at Twentieth Century Fox almost a decade ago.
The studio executives wanted the movie rights to Unbound Captives, but they didn't want her.
Instead, they wanted Gladiator star Russell Crowe to take the lead and Sir Ridley Scott to direct the film about a white woman whose children are taken by Comanche Indians in the 1860s.
Stowe says, "Without a moment’s thought, I turned it down."
Now, nine years later, Stowe is stepping behind the camera to direct Hugh Jackman and Rachel Weisz in the film, admitting she opted not to star in the project when she turned 50 in 2009.
She tells More magazine, "It seemed like the right thing to do. I’m on fire with this idea of what I want this film to be and bringing together these incredibly gifted people and having a dynamic conversation." »

As 'Battleship' Flops: Ten Other Memorable Box-Office Bombs
21 May 2012 10:43 AM, PDT | The Playlist | See recent The Playlist news »
To have one giant money-losing tentpole is unfortunate. To have two starts to look careless, and that's what's happened to Taylor Kitsch. The actor, who broke out on TV's "Friday Night Lights," was seen as Hollywood's next great hope, picked out to star in two great big blockbusters with a combined cost of half-a-billion dollars. But when "John Carter" arrived in March, the film wildly underperformed, with Disney taking a hit of at least $100 million on the project. And after this weekend, it looks that his other film, "Battleship," is going to lose similar amounts.
The film, Universal & Hasbro's adaptation of the board game, directed by "Hancock" helmer Peter Berg, had taken the unusual step of opening everywhere else in the world six weeks ahead of the U.S, in the hope of bagging lucrative foreign coin and building buzz for the U.S. release. But while the film did ok abroad, »

Jaume Collet-Serra in Talks to Direct Liam Neeson in Non-Stop
10 May 2012 7:57 AM, PDT | Beyond Hollywood | See recent Beyond Hollywood news »
Jaume Collet-Serra previously directed Liam Neeson in the “Taken” meets “Bourne Identity” movie “Unknown” (a film that was decent, if overly familiar), and now seems poised to direct Neeson once again in “Non-Stop”, the “contained” action movie that would find Neeson playing an air marshal on a plane who must save the day. He should definitely get an extra bag of peanuts for that. Collet-Serra has been pretty busy post-”Unknown”, and at one time was even attached to direct the “Akira” live-action movie for Warner Bros. before that movie went down the drain due to budget reasons, though I suspect it was more the fact that the studio gave up on making it happen. And he was also rumored to be directing Russell Crowe in the “Dracula” re-imagining “Harker”, but that’s just a rumor, so who knows. “Non-stop” looks and sounds like Hollywood is getting back into the »
