Francis Ford Coppola To Direct Another Italian-American Saga
22 May 2013 2:26 PM, PDT | We Got This Covered | See recent We Got This Covered news »
This one won’t have gangsters. Probably won’t have gangsters. Actually, there’s a higher probability of gangsters than anything else. Anyways, if you’ve forgotten who Francis Ford Coppola is (other than the father of Sofia Coppola), he’s that guy that directed a few small movies under the banner of The Godfather? Yeah? Ok, so we’re all on the same page. Well, he’s planning on directing another saga about an Italian-American family that will not involve Al Pacino killing people in Italian restaurants.
Coppola is reportedly working on a screenplay that will play as a coming-of-age story about a boy and girl in their late teens. Paramount is providing office space, but little else, with no current plans to bankroll or distribute the movie once it gets made. If it gets made.
Forgive me for being skeptical. Coppola has had a bit of tough time »

10 Great Acting Careers Accidentally Ruined By Legendary Directors
21 May 2013 6:51 AM, PDT | Obsessed with Film | See recent Obsessed with Film news »
Oh, what could have been. My first official “assignment” from WhatCulture is here. Today I’ll be picking out which actors’/actresses’ careers were “ruined” (i.e. unceremoniously stalled and/or tainted, either temporarily or permanently) by 10 legendary/infamous directors, the films that contributed to their demise, and (if I can find out) where they are now.
Bear in mind that when I say “ruined,” I don’t mean that they stopped working. But I do mean that their careers took directions that, for one reason or another, could have gone or did go a completely different direction than what they originally intended or hoped for. Bear in mind also that this list is in no particular order, and I will undoubtedly have left some of your personal favorites out, and you may not agree with some of my choices. But feel more than free to include them in the comments section below. »

Perfect Father’s Day Gift: Ultimate Gangster Collection — Contemporary
21 May 2013 6:00 AM, PDT | The Scorecard Review | See recent Scorecard Review news »
Ultimate Gangster Collection — Contemporary
Due Out: May 21, 2013
The “Ultimate Gangster Collection: Classics“ and “Ultimate Gangster Collection: Contemporary” are available on Blu-ray 5/21
Who’S It For?
My wife hasn’t seen Mean Streets, The Untouchables, Goodfellas or Heat. So while I would normally say this is the perfect gift for guys on Father’s Day, it’s really perfect for my wife. These are movies that must be seen by every adult. Not only to they showcase how the ugly side of society has evolved, but it’s also the evolution of gangster crime. Every one of these films is brilliant, and yes, I’m including The Departed. Jack Nicholson’s performance has someone gotten a bad rap. I’m convinced if it wasn’t for Martin Scorsese zooming in on the rat at the very end, everyone would still worship this film. »

Francis Ford Coppola's Twixt Does Not Pass Go; Heads Directly to Home Video
17 May 2013 1:48 PM, PDT | DreadCentral.com | See recent Dread Central news »
The next film from legendary director Francis Ford Coppola, Twixt, is on its way to home video. Look for it from 20th Century Fox on Blu-ray and DVD July 30th. Or... don't. From what we hear it's kinda crappy. Time will tell.
Inspired by the Gothic horror of Edgar Allan Poe, Francis Ford Coppola's latest tells the tale of a burnt-out mystery writer (Val Kilmer) who gets mixed up in murder and evil in a California town. Bruce Dern, Elle Fanning, David Paymer, and Ben Chaplin also star.
Synopsis
A writer with a declining career arrives in a small town as part of his book tour and gets caught up in a murder mystery involving a young girl. That night, in a dream, he is approached by a mysterious young ghost named V. He's unsure of her connection to the murder in the town but is grateful for the story being handed to him. »

Disney’s ‘Cars’ Spin-off ‘Planes’ Soars In Sweeping New Promo
17 May 2013 9:09 AM, PDT | The Hollywood News | See recent The Hollywood News news »
The Disney-Pixar Cars franchise many see as the weakest of the stunning joint studio output (myself included by a long, long way) but Lightening McQueen and company sure sell millions of toys. Disney have branched out on their own with spin-off Planes, which follows Dusty, a crop dusting plane who dreams of competing in a famous daredevil aerial race. However, Dusty is hopelessly afraid of heights and looks for help from his mentor, Skipper, to conquer his fear.
Planes fly into UK cinemas from 16th August and the Us a week earlier on the 9th August. On voice duties is Dane Cook, Val Kilmer, Terri Hatcher, John Cleese, Anthony Edwards, Julia Louis-Dreyfuss and Brad Garrett

Francis Ford Coppola's 'Twixt' Finally Coming To Blu-Ray & DVD In The U.S.
17 May 2013 9:05 AM, PDT | The Playlist | See recent The Playlist news »
After a long, long absence from filmmaking, legendary "The Godfather" helmer Francis Ford Coppola resurfaced a few years back with some of his most impressive works since the early 1980s. We didn't wholeheartedly adore either "Youth Without Youth" or "Tetro," but there was still much to admire, and furthermore, they felt like Coppola had returned to filmmaking with the vigor and energy of a young man, suggesting much more to come. His next film, "Twixt," continued that approach; an experimental, partly 3D horror film starring Val Kilmer and Elle Fanning, which Coppola planned to take on the road, remixing the film live with an iPad. It was an impressively forward-thinking approach for the veteran filmmaker, even if, according to most of the reviews, including our own, it worked better in theory than in practice. The film never had a real release, though it did pop up on one screen on the West Coast in August, »

New Promo for Disney’s Planes Highlights the Film’s Impressive Animation
16 May 2013 11:26 AM, PDT | Collider.com | See recent Collider.com news »
Disney has released a new promo video for its upcoming animated film Planes. While not a trailer per se, the promo shows off a bunch of footage from the film but none of the dialogue. Instead, we’re greeted with a sampling of composer Mark Mancina’s music from the film. Originally slated for a direct-to-video release, Disney only recently made the decision to release Planes theatrically. While it appears to take place in the same universe as Cars, Pixar is not involved with the pic creatively. The most recent trailer was pretty painful and the notion of Dane Cook leading the voice cast isn’t exactly promising, but the visuals sure do look great in this new promo. Hit the jump to watch the video. The film also features the voices of Val Kilmer,Anthony Edwards, Stacy Keach, Cedric the Entertainer, Teri Hatcher, Brad Garrett, Roger Craig Smith, Gabriel Iglesias, »

First Look Image: Terrence Malick’s Knight of Cups with Christian Bale & Natalie Portman
16 May 2013 1:30 AM, PDT | HeyUGuys.co.uk | See recent HeyUGuys news »
The past few years have seen Terrence Malick become something of a prolific director, having previously spent years between his films. Malick’s upcoming work remains elusive as per his reputation, but with Cannes getting underway this week, the first official image from Knight of Cups, one of the two films he’s most recently been working on, has debuted online.
FilmNation will be showing the first footage of the film to foreign distributors over in Cannes, and THR have given us this rather brilliant first image of Natalie Portman and Christian Bale, to help those of us who aren’t foreign distributors get an early peek.
The plot is being kept largely under wraps, but it’s thought that the film is about celebrities and excess.
Bale and Portman starred on set alongside one of the most substantial ensemble casts of all time, joined by Cate Blanchett, Wes Bentley, »

Did You Catch This?
15 May 2013 10:38 AM, PDT | Huffington Post | See recent Huffington Post news »
On Tuesday, Conan O'Brien introduced "Comedy For DVRs," a segment that is basically a little Easter egg for all of us who do nothing for his Nielson ratings (yet).
The only way to enjoy the joke, you see, is to pause... and pause... and pause.
This inaugural gag was called "Rejected Game Of Thrones" characters and, like SNL's "Fox & Friends" corrections, it's a long list that flies by way too fast to read. Fortunately, we had nothing better to do than painstakingly transcribe the full list, and we're here to tell you, it was worth it.
Watch the clip above, then check out the rejected names below and let us know which are your favorites. Personally, we're holding out hope that one day "Lady Sideboob Of Huffington" and "K.D. Langister" turn up on GoT.

Willow at the ‘Reel Late at the Tivoli’ Midnight Series this Weekend
12 May 2013 8:06 PM, PDT | WeAreMovieGeeks.com | See recent WeAreMovieGeeks.com news »
Though Willow (1988) was one of director Ron Howard’s few box-office disappointments, it definitely deserves a second look and you’ll have the opportunity to do so this weekend (May 17th and 18th) when it plays at midnight Friday and Saturday at the Tivoli as part of the Reel Late at the Tivoli Midnight series.
At once an epic celebration and a gentle spoof of the sword-and-sorcery genre, Willow was a collaborative effort between Howard and George Lucas and the pair threw an eclectic bunch of elements is thrown into the stewing pot – much like what Lucas did with Star Wars. Val Kilmer as the hero looks like Conan the Barbarian but acts like a clumsy Han Solo; the chief Villainess looks like a real-life version of the evil queen in Disney’s Snow White; the chief baddy looks like Darth Vader. Willow is well, a Hobbit.
There are even some fairies like Tinkerbell. »

Friday (neo)Noir: ‘Kiss Kiss Bang Bang’ features hilarity, wit and Black’s command of noir

Written by Shane Black
Directed by Shane Black
U.S.A., 2005
It was only a few weeks ago that the Howard Hawks classic The Big Sleep, starring Humphrey Bogart and Lauren Bacall, was reviewed for the purpose of this column. Certainly an amusing film, the highlight of which is the pitch perfect acting from each and every cast member. That said, what held the film back to a degree was its insistence on adhering to the spirit of the original source material insofar as it was so complex and filled to the brim with revelations and twists that the screenwriters themselves had trouble sorting it all out. Fast forward some 60 years and writer-director Shane Black, a big fan of detective and noir-inspired stories, made his debut as a director with Kiss Kiss Bang Bang, a story which owes a lot to the noir of yesteryear while »

Michael Mann's Heat: how research created a classic thriller
7 May 2013 9:32 AM, PDT | Den of Geek | See recent Den of Geek news »
Feature Ryan Lambie 8 May 2013 - 06:50
Eighteen years on, Heat is still an important, influential film. We look at how Michael Mann's research made for a powerful crime drama...
"This is based on observations. This is based on people I have met, people I've known, people I've sat with and talked to. Thieves, cops, killers. It's not derived from other cinema, it's based on research." Michael Mann
Cool, measured, melancholy and stylish, Michael Mann's Heat was a box office hit in 1995, and 18 years on, its impact can still be felt. A story about two weary men on either side of the law - one a cop married to his profession, the other a career criminal with no intention of going straight - Heat is also a movie about Los Angeles, in all its sparkly opulence and grimy malaise. Other directors have attempted to bottle some of Heat's »

'Life's Too Short' series finale special premieres July 5 on HBO
6 May 2013 3:15 PM, PDT | Zap2It - From Inside the Box | See recent Zap2It - From Inside the Box news »
"Life's Too Short" will end its short run July 5 on HBO.
The comedy series stars Warwick Davis (who played Professor Flitwick in the "Harry Potter" films) as a mockumentary version of himself and was created by "The Office" masterminds Ricky Gervais and Stephen Merchant.
It's a co-production between HBO and the BBC, but failed to achieve the acclaim or popularity of other Gervais/Merchant collaborations including "Extras" and animated podcast "The Ricky Gervais Show."
After the first season of seven episodes, Gervais initially indicated the show would move forward with Season 2. But HBO announced in January that "Life's Too Short" would end with a single finale special to provide storyline closure.
The hour-long special -- featuring a guest appearance by Davis' "Willow" co-star Val Kilmer -- already aired in the U.K. on March 30. »
