Central Europe Jumps Onto Incentives Bandwagon
14 May 2013 7:00 AM, PDT | Variety - TV News | See recent Variety - TV News news »
In the 10 years since Hungary introduced its production incentives, it has emerged as the leading country in Central and Eastern Europe in the race to pursue Hollywood blockbusters and upscale TV series.
Boosted by the 20% tax rebate, the local biz has been further strengthened by the opening of production facilities, such as Korda Studios, Stern Film Studio and Media Center, and Raleigh Studios.
For Hollywood producer Andy Vajna, who is also the Hungarian film commissioner, it is not just a question of price. “There’s always a cheaper place, no matter what you do,” he says. “So what we have to strive for is to be competitive on price, but unmatchable in quality.” Productions in Hungary this year include Brett Ratner’s feature “Hercules” for MGM-Paramount, and two TV series — NBCU’s “Dracula” and the pilot of HBO’s Cold War thriller “The Missionary,” in which Hungary doubles for East Berlin in the 1960s. »

‘I Believe You Have My Stapler’ – Top Five Reluctant Heroes
7 April 2013 7:40 AM, PDT | The Hollywood News | See recent The Hollywood News news »
To complement tomorrow’s release of The Hobbit on Blu-ray and DVD, we thought we would wander through the vast film archives here at Thn Manor, in search of some cautious souls who, kindred to the beloved hobbit, Bilbo Baggins (Martin Freeman), have been thrust into the face of adversity. It is often these struggling characters who we relate to more than the archetypal flawless hero, so join us as we settle in under our metaphorical duvet of warm nostalgia.

Anchorman: The Legend Continues casting update
4 April 2013 11:37 AM, PDT | Den of Geek | See recent Den of Geek news »
News Glen Chapman 5 Apr 2013 - 06:53
A new addition and a couple of returning cast members appear to have been confirmed for the long awaited Anchorman sequel.
Production is well underway on the long awaited sequel to Anchorman, which is set for release this coming December. The film will see the return of Will Ferrell, Steve Carell, Paul Rudd, Christina Applegate and David Koechner, with Greg Kinnear, Hrrison Ford, Kristen Wiig, Josh Lawson and Meagan Good also confirmed to play roles.
One aspect of the first film that worked so well was the use of quality cameos, particularly with the showdown between rival news teams which featured a who's who of comedic talent. What's more, Jack Black also appeared in a memorable scene towards the end of the film.
It looks as though cameos will once again be a part of the film this time around, as The Hollywood Reporter »

Nicole Kidman Will Cameo In Anchorman: The Legend Continues
4 April 2013 10:16 AM, PDT | cinemablend.com | See recent Cinema Blend news »
The cast of Anchorman 2 is already crammed with familiar faces, from the core quartet of Will Ferrell/Paul Rudd/Steve Carell/David Koechner to total newcomers like Harrison Ford and Kristen Wiig. Is there room for yet another giant star to add to the mix, though? Of course there is! And the latest star to venture to the Atlanta set is probably not who you'd expect. The Hollywood Reporter says that Nicole Kidman will have a "secret," uncredited role in the film-- though the fact that the news is out there probably means it's no longer a secret. She, Vince Vaughn and Luke Wilson all reportedly filmed brief appearances, which leads me to hope that Kidman will be involved in a sequel to the famous rumble from the first film, in which Wilson lost an arm at the hands of Tim Robbins and Brick Tamland somehow stabbed a guy »

Here’s a first look at anticipated documentary film, Gore Vidal: The United States Of Amnesia, featuring final interviews with Gore Vidal.
Directed by Nicholas Wrathall (Abandoned: The Betrayal of America’s Immigrants), the film features the final on-camear interviews with the iconic American writer, essayist, and singular intellectual. Featuring interviews with Gore Vidal, Burr Steers, Christopher Hitchens, Jodie Evans, Tim Robbins, Mikhail Gorbachev, Sting, David Mamet, Bob Scheer, William F. Buckley, Jay Parini, Norman Mailer, Nina Straight and Dick Cavett.
No twentieth-century figure has had a more profound effect on the worlds of literature, film, politics, historical debate, and the culture wars than Gore Vidal. Anchored by intimate one-on-one interviews with the man himself, Nicholas Wrathall’s new documentary is a fascinating and wholly entertaining portrait of the last lion of the age of American liberalism.

‘Jacob’s Ladder’ astonishing on the eye and hard on the heart
24 March 2013 3:58 AM, PDT | SoundOnSight | See recent SoundOnSight news »
Long before The Usual Suspects and The Sixth Sense made it a commonplace institution, the twist ending was a tool rarely used by screenwriters, a choice of brevity which stopped the trope from becoming a stale and predictable attempt to garner some sensationalism. A superb slice of existential horror and dread from the start of the nineties, the criminally underrated Jacob’s Ladder, has as its crux a conclusion that ultimately determines the fate of the terrifying and disturbing nightmare that preceded it, defining its success. As you’d expect considering its esteem landing it a place in this column, it is a final gambit that while stark, savage and shocking, is ultimately an emphatic way to end one hell of a rollercoaster seemingly designed by the twisted minds of Hr Giger and Zdzislaw Beksinski.

Chris O'Dowd's Amazing Movie Pitch For Jason Segel
19 March 2013 8:57 AM, PDT | Huffington Post | See recent Huffington Post news »
The night before I interviewed Chris O'Dowd, I observed him dancing -- surrounded by a group of onlookers, of course -- to the A-ha earworm "Take on Me." This isn't a particularly embarrassing or scandalous observation (look, who hasn't danced to "Take on Me"?), but what was noticeable was just how much fun O'Dowd was having.
Premiere parties aren't always what a normal human being would call a good time. They're often overcrowded, with the talent from the film safely secured in some sort of fortified backroom to protect them from the hoards of attendees who were not in the movie. By contrast, at the New York premiere party for "The Sapphires," O'Dowd looked like a guy who wanted to make sure everyone was having fun. He even yelled at Harvey Weinstein in an effort to get Weinstein to sing. (Weinstein did not sing.)
The next morning, I met O'Dowd »

John Cusack

Our pick of some of the actor's most memorable performances. What would you add to the list?
John Cusack, star of The Paperboy (read Peter Bradshaw's review here), is one of the few 80s teen stars to have made a genuinely successful transition to adult cinema. From early supporting roles in Sixteen Candles and Stand By Me, through critically acclaimed turns in The Grifters and The Player, to parodying his 80s-self in Hot Tub Time Machine, he's consistently sought out roles that play to his strengths as an actor.
Here are some highlights from his film career, including recommendations from @guardianfilm Twitter followers @Hollywdbabylon, @owenkeats, @missalison, @workdick, @Daniel_Moores, @mwarrilow and @grantcollinson.

Back to 1942 (2012) Movie Review
8 March 2013 7:31 AM, PST | Beyond Hollywood | See recent Beyond Hollywood news »
Despite its name, “Back to 1942” isn’t in fact a time travel flick, but the latest blockbuster from top Chinese helmer Feng Xiaogang, responsible for recent hits such as “Aftershock” and “The Assembly”. Adapted from the book “Remembering 1942” by its author Liu Zhenyun, the film is a historical disaster epic following the fates of refugees during the drought and famine in Henan Province, which devastated the region and left millions dead. As well as acclaimed Chinese stars such as Zhang Guoli (“Foster Father”), Chen Daoming (“Aftershock”), Xu Fan (“Love in Space”), Zhang Hanyu (“White Vengeance”), Li Xuejian (“Love for Life”), the film is one of the few Asian productions to boast actual Western talent in the form of Academy Awards winners Adrien Brody (“The Piano”) and Tim Robbins (“The Shawshank Redemption”). Unsurprisingly set in 1942, the film takes place during a time of turmoil and conflict in China, with the Japanese »

Clip joint: the best happy endings
6 March 2013 7:02 AM, PST | The Guardian - Film News | See recent The Guardian - Film News news »
The holy grail of customer satisfaction as well as an artistic taboo, the happy ending can be played out in many ways. Which films would you add to this list?
This week Clip joint is from John Carvill, who previously wrote on subjects as varied as taking the train and 'meet cutes'. If you've got an idea for a future clip joint, email adam.boult@guardian.co.uk.
During a key scene in The Player, Robert Altman's shrewdly meta-fictional Hollywood movie about how Hollywood makes movies, studio executive Griffin Mill (Tim Robbins) languidly enumerates to June Gudmundsdottir (Greta Scacchi), the elements a script needs if it is to become one of the dozen or so per year that Griffin's studio can green light for production: "Suspense, laughter, violence … hope, heart … nudity, sex … happy endings." Griffin pauses, then concludes: "Mainly happy endings."
