Cinema release inspirations including Brüno
10 July 2009 3:22 AM, PDT | From Boxwish.com | See recent BoxWish news
Vassup Boxwishers! Today marks the cinematic return of Sacha Baron Cohen, who has hung up Borat’s mankini and gone all fashionista with Austrian gay reporter Brüno. Like his Kazakhstani predecessor, Brüno is proving controversial with the lawsuits already stacking up, so if you’re in the mood for some outrageous antics including swapping a baby for an iPod catch Brüno new in theatres from today. But if men in see-through suits and bright yellow lederhosen aren’t your thing, there’s mature emotional drama in The Private Lives of Pippa Lee and high school comedy in Fired Up. Click over for more…
If you see… Flamboyant gay style maven Brüno (Baron Cohen) swap his home country of Austria for the Us of A in the comedy mockumentary Brüno.
Why Not Catch up with some of Baron Cohen’s previous big screen alter-egos with Ali G Indahouse: The Movie and

Keanu Reeves Becoming a Chef? + Werner Herzog's Food Show
8 July 2009 9:45 AM, PDT | From Cinematical.com | See recent Cinematical news
We already learned that Keanu Reeves is ready to tap into his foodie side for David Fincher's Chef, but could this culinary fan take it a step further? Contact Music reports that Reeves has become enamored with Herve This and his book Molecular Gastronomy: Exploring the Science of Flavour. The actor said: "I'm dabbling in it and looking at becoming a chef. He is fantastic. I didn't really cook before but this book may be changing my life." Jesus... Talk about jumping right in. For those unfamiliar, molecular gastronomy is cooking by means of science -- not exactly the ease of a fried egg.
I can't help but wonder if this is all just part of his prep for Chef, and if it is, that makes me a bit more interested in the whole production. The thought of Reeves taking on a food-loving comedy was hurting my foodie heart,

Reeves Seeks To Dismiss Paternity Case
7 July 2009 6:31 PM, PDT | From wenn.com | See recent WENN news
Keanu Reeves is seeking a court dismissal of a Canadian woman's allegations he is the father of her four grown children.
Karen Sala, who is seeking millions in spousal and child support from the Speed star, came face to face with Reeves' attorney Lorne Wolfson for a brief appearance in a family court in Toronto, Canada on Monday.
Wolfson denied his client had a relationship with the 46 year old, and later told reporters outside the court he is urging authorities to quickly dismiss the case.
He said, "His (Reeves') position is that he's not the father of these children, never had a relationship with them, never lived with Ms Sala and that the application has absolutely no merits. It's totally frivolous.
"This case should be dismissed at the earliest opportunity."
Meanwhile, Sala maintained she was telling the truth, telling journalists the Hollywood actor has been in contact with her over the last three decades.
She explained, "He (Reeves) doesn't stay away, he constantly comes and checks up and everything. It'll come out. The truth is a strange thing and sometimes no one's prepared for it... It will come out. You have to have faith."
Sala filed suit against Reeves in May, seeking a DNA test to prove the star fathered her children. She is seeking $3 million (£2 million)-a-month in spousal support, dating back to November 2006, and another $150,000 (£100,000) in child support, extending to June 1988.
Mark Duplass Braves "Humpday"
7 July 2009 11:23 AM, PDT | From ifc.com | See recent IFC news
When writer/director Lynn Shelton first asked Mark Duplass to star in a movie about two straight buddies who drunkenly challenge one another to make an amateur porno together (then in the sober light of day refuse to back down), he was unconvinced: "When I heard that pitch, I was like, 'I don't think this movie is going to work." Shelton eventually won him over, and Duplass came to believe his uncertainty about the premise enhanced the finished film. "And we encourage that in our audience members," he adds. "If you're skeptical about how this can work, come see the movie. We were really skeptical and kept the reality of human interaction under the microscope the whole time."
Duplass is best known for his work with his brother Jay, as half of the writing/directing/producing team behind the low-budget (some might say mumblecore) indies "The Puffy Chair" and "Baghead.

Will we see a Jin-Roh Live-Action Adaptation soon?
7 July 2009 9:57 AM, PDT | From Affenheimtheater | See recent Affenheimtheater news
During this years Anime Expo, Production I.G vice-president Maki Terashima-Furuta acknowledged/confirmed that the live-action rights for Jin-Roh – The Wolf Brigade have been sold to “somebody” and that this “somebody” is planning to produce a live-action film based on Hiroyuki Okiura’s anime. However, she wouldn’t spill out any more details on the name of the buyer or when production will start.
I hope it’s a Japanese studio/record company so every role will be played by some young J-Pop star that will storm the charts with their cheesy title song that will also ruin every trailer.
Or maybe an Us studio that will dumb down the original to get a PG-13 rating and will just let “some Asian looking guy” (probably Keanu Reeves) take the lead. Can’t wait to see it…
The Jin-Roh universe has already been transferred into the real-world, Mamoru Oshii directed two films,

Screen Media Makes Rebecca Miller's 'Private Lives' Public
6 July 2009 | From ioncinema | See recent ioncinema news
- I sort of lost track of Rebecca Miller's The Private Lives Of Pippa Lee, a semi-biographical, ensemble film featuring Robin Wright Penn in the lead role/Miller's former shoes. I thought it would end up showing at Sundance, but it ended up going to Berlin the month after and the reviews from two of the three major trades were less kindly than they were for Miller's previous pair of The Ballad of Jack and Rose and Personal Velocity. Variety said it had "cardboard characters and severe problems of tone" and The Hollywood Reporter mentioned it's "the kind of film that most critics desperately want to like." We'll be able to test both theories as Screen Daily reports that Screen Media has picked up the rights to the pic and plans are to unveil it in October. Below you can find the off-putting trailer. There are the ensemble pics that work,

Reeves Dreams Of Life In Kitchen
3 July 2009 5:21 AM, PDT | From wenn.com | See recent WENN news
Hollywood actor Keanu Reeves is eyeing a new career - he wants to train to be a chef.
The Speed star was so impressed with a cookbook by famed French chef Herve This - who uses science to perfect his culinary skills - that he credits it as "changing" his life.
Since reading the tome, Reeves has spent his spare time experimenting with recipes and reading Molecular Gastronomy: Exploring the Science of Flavour.
He says, "I'm dabbling in it and looking at becoming a chef. He is fantastic. I didn't really cook before but this book may be changing my life."
Reeves Loves His Critics
3 July 2009 1:06 AM, PDT | From wenn.com | See recent WENN news
Keanu Reeves can't wait to see what the critics make of his new movie - because he loves finding out how his performances are rated.
The Speed actor stars in new drama The Private Lives of Pippa Lee - about a middle-aged woman suffering a nervous breakdown - in which Reeves plays the title character's younger lover.
And he's awaiting the press reviews with bated breath - to see if he has done a good job.
Reeves says, "I want to see what they (the critics) write, for sure. You know it's going to be whatever it's going to be and you have to take a review as it is.
"I mean, whatever they write is whatever they write, and I'm not going to be able to change it. The review is part of why you want to entertain. You want to know what your audience thinks about the film and the performance.
"I'm interested in what people think, even if it's just one person."
The Game is B.A. in ‘The A-Team’?
2 July 2009 9:45 AM, PDT | From The Flickcast | See recent The Flickcast news
Coming off of news about a month ago that Bradley Cooper was joining the ‘Team’ as Templeton “Faceman” Peck, and then word that Liam Neeson was joining as Col. John “Hannibal” Smith, it looks like rapper The Game is in “serious consideration” to take on the role of B.A. Baracus, joining Joe Carnahan’s cast in what is shaping up to be an interesting film.
According to Blackfilm.com, who has the exclusive, they say that The Game (real name Jayceon Taylor) is being seriously considered for the role, and will be going head-to-head with other potentials like Common, Ice Cube, and mixed martial artist Quinton “Rampage” Jackson. It looks like the role once portrayed by Mr. T is shaping up to be quite a battle of rappers, which can only help the film’s publicity.
As of today, The Game has only a handful of on-screen credits, ranging

Make-Believe Makeover: Keanu Reeves
2 July 2009 | From E! Online | See recent E! Online news
This is how they're letting Keanu Reeves roam the streets of Paris these days. Laissez-faire or just plain lazy? We're baffled. Last time we checked, the actor was, you know, all handsome and oddly compelling—please, don't say you didn't love him in The Lake House because we saw the four weepy stars you gave it on Netflix—but this hairy, boot-wearing style just doesn't do it for us. How about you? Give us your top suggestions for improving his look and we'll collect them, collate them and totally think about them (but it's not like we're going to send them on to his stylist or anything). This is serious, people. Act now!

The Many Wonderful Faces of Chris Klein
1 July 2009 5:02 PM, PDT | From Cinematical.com | See recent Cinematical news
Oh, Chris Klein. In the beginning, he made a decent go of things. He was in that little American Pie flick, and he found the perfect role in Election. While almost every square inch of that film held greatness, I'm not sure it would've been nearly as fun without his innocent yet horny Paul Metzler. But just like Michael Cera has to grow up one of these days, Klein can't play the innocent sensitive teen forever.
So he grabs a gig in Street Figher: The Legend of Chun-Li. It didn't go so well. In fact, when William Goss alerted us to some YouTube goodness about Klein's role, he said: "I can see the [Razzie] for-your-consideration ads now: 'Can only be described as epic in its awfulness' ... 'I can't remember the last time I watched an actor fail to walk into a room convincingly' ... 'So wooden that he makes Keanu Reeves seem like Don Knotts.

The Cold Case: Hugo Weaving Remembers His 1991 Breakthrough Proof
1 July 2009 8:30 AM, PDT | From Movieline | See recent Movieline news
Exhausted the classic canon? Fed up with the current cinema of remakes, reboots and reimaginings? This week The Cold Case exhumes an early, underappreciated work by one of Australia's best-known acting exports.
Long before he voiced the rumbling Megatron in two Transformers outings, put male hair braidists back in business as Elrond in the Lord Of The Rings trilogy and tortured poor Keanu Reeves on behalf of the machines across three Matrix films, Hugo Weaving electrified discerning audiences with his breakout role in 1991's Proof, a little Australian film that was also an early calling card for a slender young chap named Russell Crowe.

10 Most Awesome Movie Explosions Of All Time Ever
25 June 2009 4:40 PM, PDT | From FilmSchoolRejects.com | See recent FilmSchoolRejects news
There are two films hitting theaters this week that celebrate the beauty of a great explosion. The first is obviously Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen, which is the first film that your grandfather can hear without his Beltone in years. But the second is a film that Cole and Neil have already dubbed the best film of the year so far - The Hurt Locker - a film that's more about having bombs not go off (even if we're always secretly hoping for a big, beautiful blast). Thankfully, both films deliver. So, in honor of Transformers and The Hurt Locker's willingness to endanger life, limb, and property with fireballs hundreds of feet high, we're counting down 10 of our favorite cinematic explosions. Ready or not, here comes the Boom. 10. Live Free or Die Hard While this PG-13 bumblefart (heh) didn't exactly hit the pin on the primer, the explosion at the gas plant showed that the franchise

The Latest on Live-Action 'Cowboy Bebop' and 'Robotech' Movies
25 June 2009 4:25 PM, PDT | From Cinematical.com | See recent Cinematical news
It was just last week that anime fans the world over breathed a sigh of relief that Leonardo DiCaprio's live-action Akira was no more. But, that doesn't mean Hollywood has lost its taste for anime, and there are still plenty of other reboots headed our way. So while most of them have stayed in development limbo, two of the more popular titles: Cowboy Bebop and Robotech have started to make new ground, and some of the people involved are starting to talk.
When the live action film of the beloved anime was first announced, fans were not thrilled with the idea. Plus, it probably didn't help that Keanu Reeves was taking the role of Spike. But, maybe we shouldn't count out the film yet, because when it comes to the film's screenwriter, there is good news and some bad news. But, let's start with the good news.
