Chazz Palminteri: The Hollywood Interivew

Chazz Palminteri Goes to Bed Hungry
By Alex Simon
Chazz Palminteri’s life is one of those classic show biz stories that, dare we say it, is the stuff from which movies are made. Born and raised in the Bronx, Palminteri toiled for years as a struggling stage, film and television actor before finally being plucked from obscurity by Robert De Niro, who saw his off-Broadway autobiographical play A Bronx Tale, a one-man show in which Palminteri played a host of colorful characters he grew up and around in his Bronx neighborhood during the 1950s and ‘60s, where his life was shaped by two mentors: his straight-laced working class father and a local mobster named Sonny.
The movie version of A Bronx Tale was a hit with audiences and critics alike upon its premiere in 1993 and Palminteri hasn’t stopped working since. His latest turn, in Debbie Goodstein’s autobiographical film Mighty Fine, »

Free Men Review
25 May 2012 6:30 AM, PDT | HeyUGuys.co.uk | See recent HeyUGuys news »
World War Two is one of the most cinematically adapted periods of modern history, with countless films released offering an insight into the horrific war. Yet Ismaël Ferroukhi’s Free Men takes somewhat of a different stance, delving into the harsh subject matter from a Muslim perspective, offering an intriguingly original take on tales we’ve been told several times.
Set in German-occupied Paris in 1943, we follow the life of Algerian immigrant and grafter Younes (Tahar Rahim), surviving on his own by selling goods to fellow refugees. However, following an arrest, he is blackmailed into becoming a spy for the law enforcement – as the police want him to inform them of wrongdoings taking place at the local Mosque, where they suspect the Muslims are providing fake identities for Jews hiding in Paris. The rector, Si Kaddour Ben Ghabrit (Michael Lonsdale), uses an intense degree of charm and intelligence to keep the law at bay, »

Life Of Pi changes release dates
24 May 2012 12:49 AM, PDT | Upcoming-Movies.com | See recent Upcoming-Movies.com news »
The release date of Dec. 21st has moved to Nov. 21st for Ang Lee's Life of Pi, starring Suraj Sharma Twentieth Century Fox has moved the well-received film out of the holiday slot to Thanksgiving weekend, reports Variety. The release date change is due to the film sharing space with three wide openers in Baz Luhrmann's The Great Gatsby starring Leonardo DiCaprio, Tobey Maguire, Carrie Mulligan and Joel Edgerton, Quentin Tarantino's Django Unchained also with DiCaprio, Jamie Foxx, Christoph Waltz, Kurt Russell and more, as well as Sony's untitled Bin Laden movie. Thanksgiving's still a busy time, and I wouldn't expect the film to top the charts over DreamWorks and Paramount's Rise of the Guardians, nor FilmDistrict's Red Dawn reboot. Another opener during that time is Weinstein Co's The Silver Linings Playbook, starring Jennifer Lawrence, Robert De Niro, Bradley Cooper and Taylor Schilling. »

Mia Wasikowska Leading John Curran’s ‘Tracks’ for ‘Shame’ & ‘The King’s Speech’ Producers
23 May 2012 3:51 PM, PDT | The Film Stage | See recent The Film Stage news »

Sherman and Canning gushed about the young starlet commenting, “having produced films with incredibly powerful central performances, from Colin Firth and Geoffrey Rush to Michael Fassbender and Carey Mulligan, we are so excited that Mia has come on board to play this extraordinary role in Tracks.

Clip joint: Shopping malls

Help us sort through the racks for the best examples of shopping malls featured in film
This week's Clip joint is by Martyn Conterio. Think you can do better? If you've got an idea for a future Clip joint, send a message to adam.boult@guardian.co.uk
The shopping mall on screen: where bland commercialism meets high drama. Over the past 40 years, cinema has used this environment for all sorts of strange and unusual scenarios, ranging from Woody Allen comedies to zombie sagas. A major lure for film-makers and producers is the salient matter of dispensing with constructing an expensive set – there's already one there.
That Anywheresville quality to shopping-mall interiors lends various films a universal feel. Don't all malls look basically the same on the inside, dominated by bright lighting, displays, food courts, neat rows of shops, fountains and sculptures? Almost naturally, American movie-makers have utilised the mall for many, »

Robert De Niro is Teaming up with Luc Besson for Malavita

Robert De Niro and Luc Besson Team for Gangster Thriller 'Malavita'
22 May 2012 6:35 AM, PDT | firstshowing.net | See recent FirstShowing.net news »
French director Luc Besson is perhaps best known for directing Leon: The Professional and The Fifth Element, but he's also a prolific writer and producer who is responsible for a ton of great work in the action genre. Still, I was a bit surprised when Variety reported that Besson has cast Robert De Niro in a gangster thriller called Malavita, based on Tonino Benacquista's novel Badfellas. Besson has dealt with gangsters on screen before, but never with a heavy hitter like De Niro involved. The story follows De Niro as a former mafia boss in Witness Protection living with his family in Normandy, but his cover doesn't last very long. Besson will direct from his own script, which is somewhat of a rarity in these later days of his career (the last movie he wrote by himself and directed was 2005's Angel-a). He was all set to write and »

Petra Nemcová and Karolina Kurková Join Hot Guys Adrien and Ewan For Cannes Bash
22 May 2012 1:19 AM, PDT | Popsugar.com | See recent Popsugar news »
The stars came out to celebrate during the Cannes Film Festival in France yesterday. Gerard Butler, Adrien Brody, and Karolina Kurková were just a few of the guests at Iwc and Finch's Quarterly Review filmmakers dinner, which was held at the Hotel Du Cap. Model Karolina - who tweeted of the event, "What a night!" - and Petra Nemcová got together for a playful photo, while Gerard met up with pals Robert De Niro, Ewan McGregor, and Adrien. Petra's boyfriend, Sean Penn, wasn't by her side for this bash, though they were together for the Haiti: Carnival in Cannes event. There's been so much excitement at Cannes so far, but there's even more to come, as both Brad Pitt and Kristen Stewart are still expected to hit the red carpet this week. View Slideshow › »

Badfellas

Robert De Niro will be stepping back into familiar shoes with his role in French director Luc Besson's Malavita, playing a gangster. Well, a former one. Based on the book, Badfellas, by Tonino Benacquista, the film follows a former gangster now living in Normandy with his family under Witness Protection, but we can guess things don't go according to plan. »
Robert De Niro On For Malavita
21 May 2012 5:12 PM, PDT | EmpireOnline | See recent EmpireOnline news »
Luc Besson seems committed to cranking out the thrillers, and has lined up a big name for his latest project: he’ll send Robert De Niro to Normandy for what is currently titled Malavita.Besson has adapted the script from Tonino Benacquista’s book Badfellas (he probably wishes he could use the original title, but given who is starring, that’s probably a meta gag too far). The story finds De Niro as a retired American mafia type living in France with his family as part of the witness protection program. Telling the locals he’s there to write a history of the Allied landings in World War II, he settles into life in the pleasant town. But this is not the first time he’s tried to make a living somewhere – and his past is always ready to catch up with him…The cameras should be cranking in August. »
Director Update: De Niro Eyes 'Badfellas' for Besson, Weir Travels to 'The Keep', and More
21 May 2012 4:00 PM, PDT | Movies.com | See recent Movies.com news »
Another Monday is upon us and the summer movie season is revving up, but rather than talk about Battleship’s dismal box office performance, let’s find something positive to discuss today – something like directors signing on for exciting new projects. Luc Besson supposedly “retired” back in 2007, but apparently the movie-making bug is harder to shake than he thought. As proof, he now has two new projects in development – one that he intends to direct personally. The two films are Malavita and Three Days to Kill. Besson will direct the former, which is based on a book entitled Badfellas, and Robert De Niro is set to star. De Niro will play a former gangster now living in Normandy as part of the Witness Protection Program who winds up back in the...
