Robert Pattinson Cannes Photo

15 hours ago | Alt Film Guide | See recent Alt Film Guide news »

CosmopolisRobert Pattinson, David Cronenberg, Sarah Gadon, Paul Giamatti, and Emily Hampshire posed for photographers at the Cannes Film Festival 2012, where Cosmopolis is in the running for the Palme d’Or. The above Robert Pattinson photo was posted at Just Jared, which has several other images from the Cosmopolis photo call. Cronenberg’s chaotic comedy-drama was screened today at Cannes. Reviews were mixed for Cosmopolis, which some found too talky, but they were highly positive for Robert Pattinson, 26, best known until now for his lovestruck vampire Edward Cullen in the Twilight movies. [Check out: Cosmopolis Mixed Reviews; Robert Pattinson 'Flawless'.] According to Just Jared, when Pattinson was asked a Twilight-related question, Cronenberg interfered, telling the journalist that Robert Pattinson is a “real person with a history and a past. The history and the past is not Twilight. It is Cosmopolis.” In addition to Robert Pattinson as the young multibillionaire New Yorker Eric Packer, the Cosmopolis cast includes the aforementioned Sarah Gadon, »

'Pan Am' Might Land At Amazon Studios

23 hours ago | The Playlist | See recent The Playlist news »

When "Pan Am" first aired it looked like ABC might have a hit on their hands. The premiere (which cost $10m) was watched by 11 million viewers, the promos all looked (aesthetically at least) very appealing, while the reviews were cautiously positive and also expressed optimism for what the show had the potential to become. It also didn’t hurt that it arrived at the same time as NBC’s “The Playboy Club” – to which it bore a stylistic similarity – and seemed fantastic by comparison. But by the time the penultimate episode of the season aired the viewership had dropped to just over 2.5 million with a 0.7 demo rating, and by that point the writing was on the wall.

However, there may be hope yet for the show, with Deadline reporting that Sony are negotiating with Amazon to bring back the show just a fortnight after it was officially cancelled. Apparently the »

Robert Pattinson/David Cronenberg Maps To The Stars?

24 May 2012 5:41 PM, PDT | Alt Film Guide | See recent Alt Film Guide news »

Maps to the Stars for Robert Pattinson / David Cronenberg? Above, Pattinson in Cronenberg’s Cosmopolis (Paul Giamatti in background) Robert Pattinson hates Twilight, according to those who have taken seriously his (jokingly) dismissive take on the movie series that has made him world famous. Anyhow, whatever his feelings in regard to The Twilight Saga, Pattinson surely doesn’t hate David Cronenberg. Hence, the Cosmopolis star and director are to work together on another movie project. That appears to be Maps to the Stars. During an interview for Metro, Robert Pattinson said that last week his agent asked if he’d like to appear in Cronenberg’s next film project. "I said yes without thinking!" Pattinson laughingly remarked. Later on, Pattinson explained that he doesn’t know "when exactly we’re going to shoot. But it’ll be David’s first movie shot on American soil. In Los Angeles, to be exact. »

Amazon Reportedly Interested In Saving ABC’s ‘Pan Am’

23 May 2012 8:49 PM, PDT | ScreenRant.com | See recent Screen Rant news »

This is getting to be the new routine. Knowing that original content is king, networks and non-networks everywhere are lining up to either create their own programs or, like Netflix and now, online retailer Amazon, resurrect failed shows like ABC’s period drama Pan Am.

According to recent reports, the online retailer is looking for ways to broaden its streaming content, and since it already carries the first season of Pan Am, has been in contact with Sony Pictures Television about potentially serving as the program’s new home, now that ABC has sent the flight attendants packing.

Pan Am came into being as the second Mad Men wannabe, but unlike poorly received entry The Playboy Club on NBC, Pan Am, boasting a cast featuring Christina Ricci, Mike Vogel (Cloverfield) and Kelli Garner (The ...

'Pan Am' Flying To Amazon?

23 May 2012 1:08 PM, PDT | Huffington Post | See recent Huffington Post news »

"Pan Am" could fly once again -- online with Amazon. According to Deadline.com, Amazon Studios and Sony Pictures TV are in talks to continue the canceled ABC drama as part of Amazon's streaming service.

ABC pulled the plug on the 1960s-set drama after one season. The show took off strong in September 2011 -- the premiere had an audience of more than 11 million viewers and a 3.1 rating in the 18-49 demographic -- but quickly plummeted in ratings. The ABC finale in February 2012 had an audience of 3.8 million viewers and a 1.2 rating.

Sony has a history of fighting to keep its shows alive. When FX canceled the critically-acclaimed "Damages," Sony took the series to DirecTV. NBC's fan-favorite, yet low-rated comedy "Community" is also backed by Sony.

"Pan Am" was recently honored with a Rose d'Or award, one of the top honors in media in Europe. The series featured Christina Ricci, Kelli Garner, »

Cosmopolis Review: Robert Pattinson Brave, David Cronenberg Back

19 May 2012 4:58 PM, PDT | Alt Film Guide | See recent Alt Film Guide news »

Cosmopolis movie: Robert Pattinson, Sarah Gadon Mathieu Carratier has written a highly positive Cosmopolis film review for Premiere magazine, praising the movie itself, director-writer David Cronenberg, and star Robert Pattinson. Cosmopolis is in competition for the Palme d’Or at the Cannes Film Festival. It’ll be screened on May 25. Carratier begins his Cosmopolis commentary by remarking that whether or not he appreciates David Cronenberg’s recent work — one assumes he means more accessible fare such as the Viggo Mortensen trilogy: A History of Violence, Eastern Promises, and A Dangerous Method — he was "seriously missing" the Cronenberg of (no-holds-barred) movies such as Crash and Videodrome. But not to worry. "Pop open the champagne," exults Carratier, "because he’s back in every Cosmopolis shot." Cronenberg himself wrote the Cosmopolis screenplay — reportedly in six days, and his first for a feature film since eXistenZ (1999). The plot is based on Don DeLillo’s »

Cosmopolis Review: Robert Pattinson Impeccable/Loses Control

18 May 2012 1:40 PM, PDT | Alt Film Guide | See recent Alt Film Guide news »

Cosmopolis: Robert Pattinson directed by David Cronenberg An early Cosmopolis review has come out via Studio Ciné Live‘s Fabrice Leclerc. Directed by the iconoclastic David Cronenberg, who adapted Don DeLillo’s novel, and starring Robert Pattinson, Cosmopolis is definitely one of the most eagerly anticipated films at the Cannes Film Festival 2012. [Check out the awesome Cosmopolis trailer.] The headline of Leclerc’s brief, three-star (out of five) Cosmopolis review reads: "A Cronenberg as brilliant as he is taut." Leclerc then begins his review by explaining that Cronenberg and DeLillo are "manufacturers of fantastic, unhealthy, and at times somber environments, of the science of language, and of totally chaotic characters. And of controversy as well." Referring to Cosmopolis as a "ghostly and hypnotic" tale, Leclerc adds that Cronenberg had adapted to the letter DeLillo’s "ultrarich prose, filming with incredible inventiveness this stifling and disturbing airtight environment." As for Robert Pattinson, Leclerc says he’s "impeccable" until Cosmopolis‘ last segment, »

Jack Black To Sow 'Wild Oats' With Shirley MacLaine, Alan Arkin And Jacki Weaver

17 May 2012 11:50 AM, PDT | The Playlist | See recent The Playlist news »

Clearly, Jack Black made one too many "Gulliver's Travels" or "A Big Year" -- in the last twelve months or so, the comic star (who just released  a new record under his Tenacious D guise) has veered mostly away from big studio comedies to more interesting sounding indie-type projects, like Richard Linklater's recent, and very charming "Bernie," prospective Michael Winterbottom project "Bailout," and Charlie Kaufman's "Frank or Francis." And now, there's another one on his dance card that sounds pretty promising, all in all.

Screen Daily report that the actor is in talks to join Howard Deutch's "Wild Oats," which would see him reteam with his "Bernie" co-star Shirley MacLaine, as well as the great Alan Arkin and "Animal Kingdom" Oscar-nominee Jacki Weaver. The film stars MacLaine and Weaver as two best friends who leave their small Ohio town for Las Vegas after MacLaine's character accidentally receives »

Robert Pattinson/Cosmopolis Us Release Date?

16 May 2012 4:22 PM, PDT | Alt Film Guide | See recent Alt Film Guide news »

Robert Pattinson haircut, Cosmopolis The Robert Pattinson movie Cosmopolis may have an August release date in the United States, according to online rumors. That would be a curious choice for Canadian-based distributor Entertainment One (eOne), as David Cronenberg films have "fall release" written all over them. That’s certainly how Us distributors have perceived Cronenberg’s last three films, all of which were awards-season contenders: starring Michael Fassbender, Keira Knightley, and Viggo Mortensen, A Dangerous Method opened in the Us in November 2011. (In mid-January 2012 in Canada.) Starring Best Actor Oscar nominee Mortensen and Naomi Watts, Eastern Promises opened in mid-September 2007. And Mortensen / Maria Bello’s A History of Violence came out on Sept. 30, 2005. Cosmopolis, which is in competition for the Palme d’Or at the Cannes Film Festival, will open on May 23 in France, June 8 in Canada, and June 15 in the UK. Additionally, Cosmopolis already has a DVD/Blu-ray release »

John Lithgow is already a legend, but he keeps getting more legendary — racking up a sixth Tony nomination for his titular turn in the Manhattan Theatre Club production of David Auburn’s The Columnist. Throughout a lengthy career in film and television, Lithgow has remained a native to the stage, earning his first Tony Award for Best Featured Actor in a Play in 1973’s The Changing Room and his second for Best Actor in a Musical for 2002’s Sweet Smell of Success.

Pan Am: (Finally) Cancelled; No Season Two

12 May 2012 11:10 PM, PDT | TVSeriesFinale.com | See recent TVSeriesFinale news »

Like the airline that inspired the TV show, Pan Am has been grounded. ABC has cancelled the drama after one season of 14 episodes.

Taking place in the 1960s, Pan Am tells the tale of a group of men and women who work for the Pan Am airline. The large cast includes Christina Ricci, Mike Vogel, Michael Mosley, Kelli Garner, Margot Robbie, and Karine Vanasse.

The drama debuted last September to a solid 3.1 rating in the 18-49 demographic with 11.06 million total viewers. It was second in its timeslot but there was no shame in being beaten by football on NBC.

  In week two, Pan Am dropped a reasonable 16% but then dropped a whopping 27% in week three. Over the course of the season, the ratings dwindled down further. Pan Am ended up averaging a 1.7 rating in »

Robert Pattinson Eyes: Mission: Blacklist Poster

He’s got Robert Pattinson’s eyes: Mission: Blacklist poster Robert Pattinson was officially cast in Mission: Blacklist, as American military interrogator Eric Maddox, about ten days or so ago. Producing company Embankment Films isn’t wasting any time. The sales poster for Mission: Blacklist, which will be peddled at the Cannes Film Festival, has been making the rounds online for several days. "In a World of Lies Only One Man Could See the Truth." That man was apparently Pattinson’s Maddox, who claimed to have eschewed torture while trying to figure out the whereabouts of fallen Iraqi dictator Saddam Hussein. The brief Mission: Blacklist plot synopsis reads as follows: Unlike other Interrogators fresh out of training, Eric Maddox (Robert Pattinson) has a brilliant and beautiful mind. He has a unique ability to decipher highly complex patterns from seemingly random events. His mission is to trap the world’s most wanted man, »

Holy Smurf! Sony Planning a Third 'Smurfs' Movie for 2015

11 May 2012 12:50 PM, PDT | Fandango | See recent Fandango news »

Talk about getting ahead of yourselves. While the notion of scripting multiple sequels isn't that novel, Sony is banking on the overwhelming success of the first Smurfs movie to jump ahead of next summer's sequel and pen a third film. The Smurfs sequel recently made news when Christina Ricci, Brendan Gleeson and J.B. Smoove agreed to cash a lucrative paycheck. The Smurfs 2 arrives in theaters July 31, 2103. Variety reports that Karey Kirkpatrick and Chris Poche (they penned and directed the animated comedy Over the Hedge) are on board to write and direct The Smurfs 3. The first Smurfs movie grossed a surprising $563 million worldwide. It's clear that Sony isn't ready to put that cash cow out to pasture just yet. The third Smurfs film should arrive in theaters...

'Pan Am': Does the show have a cable future?

11 May 2012 12:23 PM, PDT | Zap2It - From Inside the Box | See recent Zap2It - From Inside the Box news »

Could it be that the crew of "Pan Am" will fly again?

Deadline is reporting that the period drama, which will more than likely not be renewed by ABC, may have a future on cable. The show, which stars Christina Ricci, Margot Robbie and Michael Mosley, is much more popular in Europe than it ever was in the U.S. It is this that may lead Sony TV, the program's producer, to look for alternate venues for the series.

As a sign of further popularity overseas, on Thursday (May 10) "Pan Am" was named "Best Series" at the Rose d'Or TV awards, Europe's equivalent of the Emmys. It beat out British programs "Martina Cole's the Runaway" and "The Jury."

So Zappers, would you be interested in seeing "Pan Am" return? Or should the show stay grounded?

Sony Already Smurfing 'The Smurfs 3'; Script Being Smurfed By 'Over the Hedge' Smurfs

11 May 2012 8:23 AM, PDT | The Playlist | See recent The Playlist news »

Talk about planning ahead. Before our megaplexes can even be graced by the currently in-production sequel to 2011 children’s flick “The Smurfs,” the film’s studio Sony is really eager to turn the epic saga of these little blue individuals into a trilogy.

We heard about “The Smurfs” sequel awhile back as it added talent like Christina Ricci, Brendan Gleeson and J.B. Smoove to the mix, but Variety is reporting that Sony is getting a little ahead of themselves as the studio is already developing a script for "The Smurfs 3" with scribes Karey Kirkpatrick and Chris Poche onboard. Both were responsible for DreamWorks Animation’s “Over the Hedge,” and we’d guess they will probably be joined by many of the principal cast and creatives because this is the sort of films just screams “Payday!” for all involved. We’re sure “The Smurfs” creator Peyo would never have believed that »
