Cannes 2013 roundup | Tom Lamont
1 hour ago | The Guardian - Film News | See recent The Guardian - Film News news »
The critics rained on Baz Luhrmann's parade but a star was born in Young and Beautiful, and Sofia Coppola hit a nerve with a film about a teen gang robbing the homes of Hollywood stars
Nicole Kidman is here in Cannes, so is Ang Lee, and Audrey Tautou, and a second-generation Jagger, and Justin Timberlake, and Cindy Crawford, and Cheryl Cole, and Pelé, and all of them have been rained on, stubbornly, for days. Rain at Cannes used to be rare, regulars say. Russell Crowe has an anecdote about sitting in a screening wearing sodden zip-ups back in 1991, and Bruce Willis got splashed by a freak wave in 2006 – but for a couple of decades straight, at least, this festival was a dry deal, screenings and parties staged outdoors, everyone "cooked to a turn" (as F Scott Fitzgerald described the local way of sunbathing). Then last year the roof of the Soixantième theatre blew off. »

Second Opinion - The Great Gatsby (2013)
2 hours ago | Flickeringmyth | See recent Flickeringmyth news »
The Great Gatsby, 2013.
Directed by Baz Luhrmann.
Starring Leonardo DiCaprio, Tobey Maguire, Carey Mulligan, Joel Edgerton, Elizabeth Debicki, Isla Fisher and Jason Clarke.
Synopsis:
A young writers life is forever changed when he meets the mysterious and elusive Jay Gatsby.
When Baz Luhrmann was handed the reigns to F. Scott Fitzgerald's classic piece of literature, many wondered if he could handle it with the substance and nuance that is required. The results are mixed as The Great Gatsby is a cross between peaks of brilliance and troughs of shallow, fancy visuals.
The film opens with Nick Carraway (Tobey Maguire) beginning to recount the events of his Summer in 1920's New York, as he leaves his creative writing endeavours and the American Midwest behind in favour of seeking fortune in the booming stock market which occurred after the first World War. Moving in to a small house on West Egg, »

Django Unchained: Exclusive Interview With Samuel L Jackson
7 hours ago | The Hollywood News | See recent The Hollywood News news »
We have an exclusive interview with actor Samuel L. Jackson, who plays the surprisingly sadistic servant Stephen to Leonardo DiCaprio’s devilish plantation owner Calvin Candie in Quentin Tarantino’s revisionist western, Django Unchained. A few questions were put to actor about his controversial role in what is his fourth time in working with the Oscar-winner director.
Q. Do you think this film could serve as the younger generation’s “Roots” and does it have a social message?
A. I’m sure there is but not in, like, a “Roots” way. It deals with slavery in a way that we haven’t seen slavery dealt with cinematically in a very long time. I guess, at the deep end of it, you understand that slavery wasn’t just this hard time in the lives of black people. They weren’t just out in fields picking cotton and singing songs and trying to make it. »

After a tiring but nonetheless thrilling day spent attending press call, giving bytes and interviews to media gathered from all over the world, Amitabh Bachchan joined his cast and crew for the red carpet of the Cannes Film Festival’s opening show ‘The Great Gatsby’, in which he plays a cameo. As he and co-star Leonardo DiCaprio stepped onto stage to declare the festival officially open, Amitabh Bachchan had a sweet surprise in store as he went on to address the audience in Hindi.
After thanking the Cannes film festival, Amitabh Bachchan spoke a few quick lines in Hindi dedicating it to his countrymen. ‘Indian Cinema has completed 100 years and on this occasion, I would like to express to Cannes Film festival my gratitude and thank them for inviting me here today and for honoring us in such a huge function’
The gesture was well appreciated by the organizers too, »

This week's new DVD & Blu-ray
12 hours ago | The Guardian - Film News | See recent The Guardian - Film News news »
Django Unchained | Broadchurch | Royal Flash | Motel Hell | Gone In 60 Seconds
The thing that must annoy Tarantino's detractors more than anything else is that he's usually right. Here, he makes an overlong, bloody, talky movie in a genre no one touches these days (the western). Then he goes and scores the biggest hit of his career with it.
Set in the antebellum American south, Jamie Foxx's slave Django is freed by Christoph Waltz's cheerful and charming bounty-hunting ex-dentist Dr King Schultz. They team up to find Django's wife and rescue her from plantation owner Calvin Candie (Leonardo DiCaprio, clearly enjoying a rare villainous role) and his devious house slave Stephen (an utterly terrifying Samuel L Jackson). Tarantino is far too much of a chatterbox to let so much as a few seconds go by without dialogue (westerns usually have a lot of space). No matter, he »

The Great Gatsby, Beware Of Mr Baker, Fast And Furious 6: this week's new films

The Great Gatsby | Beware Of Mr Baker | Fast And Furious 6 | The Stoker | The Liability | Rangeelay
The Great Gatsby (12A)
(Baz Luhrmann, 2013, Us) Leonardo DiCaprio, Tobey Maguire, Carey Mulligan, Joel Edgerton, Elizabeth Debicki. 143 mins
No one's disputing that Luhrmann can put on a show, but can he tell a story? In a way, F Scott Fitzgerald's 1920s parable is a perfect fit: a study of surfaces and seduction and the hollowness of the wealthy. The hedonism and vulgarity are ravishing to behold and the hand-tinted-photo aesthetic is gorgeous. When the fireworks die down, however, that artificiality works against the romantic tragedy, and the characters are too flat to really stir any great emotions. Maybe that's the point.
Beware Of Mr Baker (15)
(Jay Bulger, 2012, Us) 92 mins
When it comes to great rock bio-doc material, Ginger Baker doesn't disappoint on any front: prodigious talent, eventful career (Cream, Blind Faith and Fela Kuti »

New JFK Conspiracy Film with DiCaprio, De Niro and David O. Russell
17 hours ago | GeekTyrant | See recent GeekTyrant news »
Another movie based on a conspiracy behind the assassination President John F. Kennedy is going into development. The movie will be called Legacy of Secrecy, and it will be written and directed by David O. Russell (Silver Linings Playbook).
The movie is being set up at Leonardo DiCaprio's Appian Way production company by his dad George DiCaprio. Apparently, the movie will "blow the lid off of what really happened in Dallas in November 1963." It's looking like DiCaprio and Robert De Niro could star in the film as well. The movie is based on a book of the same name written by Lamar Waldron and Thom Hartmann.
The news comes from showbiz411, who says it follows "the saga of FBI informant Jack Laningham. DeNiro would play Mafia kingpin Carlos Marcello, who confided to Langingham that he ordered the hit on Kennedy. Marcello died in 1993. But back during the days following the assassination, »

Online gallery to showcase works by Bill Gold and others for movies including Pulp Fiction and The Exorcist
A gallery that should comfort any struggling young graphic artist is revealed for the first time today: the ones that got away, rejected original versions of posters for some of the most famous films of recent decades, including Batman, Pulp Fiction, A Clockwork Orange, The Exorcist and Cool Hand Luke.
The last three were the work of the remarkable Bill Gold, who over a 70-year career created the images that sold more than 1,000 movies.
As a 21-year-old in the art department of Warner Bros, he was asked to come up with a poster for a vehicle for one of its stars, Humphrey Bogart. His poster for Casablanca became as classic as the film itself: black and white, the other characters in a misty background, Ingrid Bergman looking yearningly towards Bogey, and Bogey in the foreground, »

Brief panic as blanks fired during Cannes
19 hours ago | EW - Inside Movies | See recent EW.com - Inside Movies news »
A live outdoor television broadcast from the Cannes Film Festival was briefly interrupted Friday when what sounded like gunshots sent crew and spectators scurrying for cover.
Actors Christoph Waltz and Daniel Auteuil were among guests being interviewed on the Canal Plus program Le Grand Journal when what sounded like gunfire rang out.
Television footage showed Auteuil and Academy Award winner Waltz – a member of the Cannes festival jury – scrambling from the seaside stage with dozens of others as a voice said “there’s someone shooting.”
When transmission resumed minutes later, host Michel Denisot said the noise had been caused by blanks. »

Leo and Tobey: Best Friends Forever
21 hours ago | Popsugar.com | See recent Popsugar news »
Leonardo DiCaprio and Tobey Maguire share the big screen as pals Jay Gatsby and Nick Carraway in The Great Gatsby, which hit theaters last week and premiered at the Cannes Film Festival on Wednesday, but their real-life relationship started long ago. Leo and Tobey have been friends for 25 years, after meeting at an audition in the late '80s. Getty Leo Recalls Their First Meeting Fondly "After I met Tobey at an audition, I felt like I wanted this guy to be my friend. I remember driving back from school and he was doing Hot Rod Brown Class Clown with Whoopi Goldberg outside Hollywood High. It was a high school. And I jumped out of my car in the middle of the scene, as they were shooting, practically." Leo added, "I was like, 'Tobey! Tobey! Tobey! Give me your number.' He was like, 'Yeah, who are you again?'" For quotes - and video! »

David O. Russell to Direct JFK Assassination Film 'Legacy of Secrecy'?
21 hours ago | firstshowing.net | See recent FirstShowing.net news »
In the fall of 2010, news surfaced that Leonardo DiCaprio was going to star in and produce Legacy of Secrecy, an adaptation of Lamar Waldron and Thom Hartmann's non-fiction book of the same name. The actor's father brought the book to his attention which includes new and recently disclassified information from the FBI and National Archives which hypothesizes a motive behind the assassination of John F. Kennedy. Since then we haven't heard anything about the project, but Showbiz 411 caught up with DiCaprio's father at Cannes, and reportedly David O. Russell is going to write and direct the film now. In the film, DiCaprio would play FBI informant Jack Van Laningham who apparently witnessed the confession of Mafia godfather Carlos Marcello for the assassination of John F. Kennedy. The confession came about after a dangerous and long-secret undercover operation, wherein the FBI positioned Van Laningham to become confidant to Marcello, who »

David O. Russell Bringing Us Another JFK Conspiracy Thriller With DiCaprio & DeNiro
23 hours ago | The Hollywood News | See recent The Hollywood News news »
The phase “Like Buses” is an often overused expression, certainly here in the UK. However, it must definitely apply in this case as The Fighter and Silver Linings Playbook director David O. Russell is the latest filmmaker lining up conspiracy thriller centred on the infamous assassination of John F. Kennedy. I’m a sucker for the fascinating subject, with Oliver Stone’s JFK right up in my own top 5 of all time.
David Mamet has recently cast Oscar-winner Cate Blanchett in modern-set, cloak and dagger thriller Blackbird, in which a woman, following her fathers death, discovers he may have been involved in the cover-up. There is also debut writer/director Peter Landesman’s Parkland, the recently completed all-star thriller (which includes James Badge Dale, Zac Efron, Paul Giamatti and Billy Bob Thornton) that looks at the chaotic aftermath of the tragic event.
Russell’s film will be based on the the non-fiction book, »

In the Works: David O. Russell to Direct Leonardo DiCaprio's JFK Conspiracy Thriller 'Legacy of Secrecy,' Robert De Niro On Board
23 hours ago | Thompson on Hollywood | See recent Thompson on Hollywood news »
Long-gestating JFK assassination conspiracy film "Legacy of Secrecy" is reportedly finally coming to fruition, with director David O. Russell at the helm. First announced in 2010 by Leonardo DiCaprio's Appian Way banner, the film centers on FBI informant Jack Laningham and Mafia kingpin Carlos Marcello (to be played by Robert De Niro) who confided to Laningham that he ordered the hit on Kennedy. No specific word on who would play Laningham, but the Playlist understandably presumes it would be DiCaprio. The film is based on the book by Lamar Waldron and Thom Hartmann, and adapting it has long been a passion project for DiCaprio's father, George. November of this year marks the 50th anniversary of the assassination, and a number of JFK-oriented projects have wheels spinning. "Parkland," starring a sprawling cast including Paul Giamatti, Jacki Weaver and Billy Bob Thornton, and produced by Tom Hanks, went into production in January, »

David O. Russell May Direct JFK Film Legacy Of Secrecy Starring Leonardo DiCaprio and Possibly Robert De Niro
17 May 2013 10:24 AM, PDT | Collider.com | See recent Collider.com news »
Though director David O. Russell is currently busy helming his follow-up to last year’s Silver Linings Playbook, it appears that he’s lining up another high-profile project for the near future. A report has surfaced claiming that Russell is attached to both write and direct the long-in-the-works JFK conspiracy film Legacy of Secrecy. The film is based on the non-fiction book of the same name by Lamar Waldron and Thom Hartmann, which asserts that Mafia godfather Carlos Marcello confessed to FBI informant Jack Van Laningham to having ordered JFK’s assassination. As part of a dangerous and long-secret undercover operation, the FBI positioned Van Laningham to become confidant to Marcello, who ruled organized crime in Louisiana and most of Texas for decades. Leonardo DiCaprio came onboard to produce and star in the pic back in 2010, and is expected to play Van Laningham. Hit the jump for more, including the »
