First Django Unchained Trailer Attached To Prometheus
3 hours ago | Obsessed with Film | See recent Obsessed with Film news »
As if you really needed another reason to see Ridley Scott’s “Prometheus”.
Variety reports that the first trailer for Quentin Tarantino’s epic new western “Django Unchained” will play in front of “Prometheus” prints, released June 8th in the United States. It is unknown yet if the trailer will play in front of UK screenings as “Prometheus” opens in this country a week earlier on June 1st, though knowing how these things usually work there’s probably only a 25% chance it will. I will try and gain confirmation from the studio on Monday regarding this.
The Weinsteins debuted the very first press screening of footage from the film (which Anne Thompson reports still has two months left of shooting) this past week at Cannes and although I had to miss it myself (there was no bus back to my hotel after the hourlong presentation which didn’t finish till »

First Trailer for Tarantino's 'Django Unchained' Playing 'Prometheus'
3 hours ago | firstshowing.net | See recent FirstShowing.net news »
Briefly: Word from a Variety editor named Stuart Oldham (via twitter) is that the first official teaser trailer for Quentin Tarantino's spaghetti western Django Unchained will be arriving very soon. In fact, he reports a scoop that "the first Django Unchained teaser will play in front of Prometheus." Even more good reason to go see Ridley Scott's return to sci-fi, arriving in theaters on June 8th. The Weinstein Company teased 7 minutes of the very first footage from Django to press in Cannes (myself included - video blog here) which means they're getting ready to unleash this, and I cant wait to see what the first teaser looks like. We'll definitely keep you updated and will let you know if this is officially confirmed in the next few weeks. Django Unchained is written and directed by Quentin Tarantino, who last brought us Inglourious Basterds. In the film, the Django »

Django Unchained Trailer to Debut with Prometheus
14 hours ago | MovieWeb | See recent MovieWeb news »
Quentin Tarantino was in Cannes this past week to show off a sizzle reel from his upcoming Western Django Unchained. Those lucky enough to have seen it have done nothing but praise it. Most of us, though, still have to wait a while before getting a glimpse of this action yarn starring Jamie Foxx as a former slave trying to retrieve his wife from a ruthless plantation owner.
Apparently, if we are to believe rumors, the wait to see footage from Django Unchained isn't going to be as long as we initially thought. Word around the internet this late Friday afternoon, heading into Memorial Day Weekend is, we will be getting the first trailer on June 8th.
According to various inside sources, the trailer will be debuting in front of 20th Century Fox's Prometheus. There is no connection between the two films, other than that Prometheus is rated R, and »

Life Of Pi Movie Release Date
24 May 2012 11:37 AM, PDT | Alt Film Guide | See recent Alt Film Guide news »
Ang Lee’s Life of Pi movie, with Suraj Sharma Ang Lee’s 3D movie Life of Pi has been moved from Dec. 21 to Nov. 21, 20th Century Fox has announced. Life of Pi, which generated enthusiastic buzz following its screening at ComicCon a few weeks ago, is already considered a top contender next awards season. (Note: Life of Pi was originally scheduled to open on Dec. 14.) By moving Life of Pi to the Thanksgiving holiday weekend, Fox is avoiding going neck and neck with the following Dec. 21 openings: Kathryn Bigelow’s Osama bin Laden thriller Zero Dark Thirty, with Chris Pratt, Jessica Chastain, and Joel Edgerton; Christopher McQuarrie’s crime drama One Shot, with Tom Cruise and Rosamund Pike; and another Judd Apatow comedy, This is 40, with Paul Rudd, Leslie Mann, Jason Segel, Melissa McCarthy. In addition to the Dec. 14 debuts of Peter Jackson’s The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey, »

Brad Pitt, the effortless mega movie star
24 May 2012 8:52 AM, PDT | Cineplex | See recent Cineplex news »
Brad Pitt is making the movie star thing look darn easy.
Since he last collaborated with Andrew Dominik, he's starred in the Coen brothers' Burn After Reading, David Fincher's The Curious Case of Benjamin Button, Quentin Tarantino's Inglourious Basterds, Terrence Malick's The Tree of Life, and Bennett Miller's Moneyball.
It's been arguably the best stretch of his career, one vacillating between comedy and drama and defined not by summer blockbusters but by provocative director-oriented fare.
The bookends to the period are Dominik's The Assassination of Jesse James by the Coward Robert Ford and Killing Them Softly, which made its world premiere at the Cannes Film Festival this week.
Things are going great even as Pitt insists that movie-making is not his top priority.
"Right now, I'm just attracted to being a dad," said Pitt in an interview in a hotel penthouse in Cannes. "Film-wise, we get »

The Ultimate Wes Anderson Playlist
24 May 2012 7:00 AM, PDT | NextMovie | See recent NextMovie news »
Directors who plug their favorite songs into films is nothing new, but Wes Anderson is one of the few -- along with Martin Scorsese, Quentin Tarantino, Paul Thomas Anderson and Cameron Crowe -- who have turned the movie soundtrack into an art form.
From the underappreciated Rolling Stones song "2000 Man" in Anderson's debut feature "Bottle Rocket" to a Brazilian acoustic guitarist playing David Bowie tunes in the oceanography adventure movie "The Life Aquatic with Steve Zissou," Anderson's musical choices for his films are as patiently awaited by his fans as the films themselves.
Though the tweed-stylin' director has stated that his new movie, "Moonrise Kingdom" (which opens May 25), "has a big musical element, but there are not really songs in it," his previous films are a master class in how to use songs in movies. Here are 11 of our favorites.

Brad Pitt Reveals Why He's Acting Less

Cannes, France -- Brad Pitt is making the movie star thing look darn easy.
Since he last collaborated with Andrew Dominik, he's starred in the Coen brothers' "Burn After Reading," David Fincher's "The Curious Case of Benjamin Button," Quentin Tarantino's "Inglourious Basterds," Terrence Malick's "The Tree of Life," and Bennett Miller's "Moneyball."

Hanging Out At Cannes, Brad Pitt Talks 'The Counselor' & Chris Pine Chats Up Brewing Jack Ryan Reboot
24 May 2012 6:18 AM, PDT | The Playlist | See recent The Playlist news »
“The Counselor,” the first original screenplay by Cormac McCarthy, is set to begin shooting in just a few short weeks with Ridley Scott at the helm. The film follows the titular character (Michael Fassbender) who ventures into the world of drug dealing with deadly consequences, and it features a stellar cast including Javier Bardem, Cameron Diaz and Brad Pitt. In a conversation with Empire at Cannes, Pitt dished on his excitement about the project, saying, “I’ve read every word [McCarthy’s] published and most of them more than once. So this was a chance to do something of his and also work with Ridley again.”
Pitt plays the role of Westray, who helps Fassbender get ahold of a $20 million stash of cocaine. While Pitt cautions that his turn in the film will only amount to “doing a few days,” he’s more than capable of stealing the show. You don’t »

Hollywood Unhinged – Creating the ultimate movie gang
24 May 2012 5:00 AM, PDT | HeyUGuys.co.uk | See recent HeyUGuys news »
Dangerous tenement blocks, Eastern martial artistry and the Tarantino gang.
Apparently it takes a Welshman in Indonesia to remind the western world how breathtaking action cinema can really be. Gareth Evans is the man behind The Raid, a new feature that traps a Swat team in a rundown city tenement block. Here they’re at the mercy of a gang of criminals whose sense of community spirit involves automatic weapons and rusty machetes.
Evans was inspired by everything from Bruce Willis’ skyscraper-bound adventures in Die Hard through to Bruce Lee and pretty much his entire back catalogue. As a result, The Raid is a stunningly confident exercise in tension, brutal, yet balletic, hand-to-hand combat and how to get out of a tight spot using a fridge and a canister of compressed gas.
So here’s the big difference between East and West. The heroes of the East spend years training »

Life Of Pi changes release dates
24 May 2012 12:49 AM, PDT | Upcoming-Movies.com | See recent Upcoming-Movies.com news »
The release date of Dec. 21st has moved to Nov. 21st for Ang Lee's Life of Pi, starring Suraj Sharma Twentieth Century Fox has moved the well-received film out of the holiday slot to Thanksgiving weekend, reports Variety. The release date change is due to the film sharing space with three wide openers in Baz Luhrmann's The Great Gatsby starring Leonardo DiCaprio, Tobey Maguire, Carrie Mulligan and Joel Edgerton, Quentin Tarantino's Django Unchained also with DiCaprio, Jamie Foxx, Christoph Waltz, Kurt Russell and more, as well as Sony's untitled Bin Laden movie. Thanksgiving's still a busy time, and I wouldn't expect the film to top the charts over DreamWorks and Paramount's Rise of the Guardians, nor FilmDistrict's Red Dawn reboot. Another opener during that time is Weinstein Co's The Silver Linings Playbook, starring Jennifer Lawrence, Robert De Niro, Bradley Cooper and Taylor Schilling. »
'Scott Pilgrim' Star Mary Elizabeth Winstead Working On An Album With Dan The Automator, Plus Hear Michael Shannon's Band
23 May 2012 12:50 PM, PDT | The Playlist | See recent The Playlist news »
The history of movie stars becoming rock stars is just as unfortunate as the history of rock stars becoming movie stars, as anyone who's heard Bruce Willis' blues-rock or Steven Seagal's country record can attest to. But just as Justin Timberlake has become one of the rare figures to bridge the divide from the recording world, stars Scarlett Johansson and Zooey Deschanel have found some success collaborating with established artists like Dave Sitek and M. Ward in recent years. And it looks like one more actress is hoping to follow in their footsteps, in the shape of "Scott Pilgrim vs. the World" star Mary Elizabeth Winstead.
Winstead's already been having a pretty good few months; she's soon to star in "Abraham Lincoln: Vampire Hunter," and she won enormous acclaim for her leading role in Sundance indie "Smashed," which Sony Pictures Classics will release in the hopes of an »

Clip joint: Shopping malls

Help us sort through the racks for the best examples of shopping malls featured in film
This week's Clip joint is by Martyn Conterio. Think you can do better? If you've got an idea for a future Clip joint, send a message to adam.boult@guardian.co.uk
The shopping mall on screen: where bland commercialism meets high drama. Over the past 40 years, cinema has used this environment for all sorts of strange and unusual scenarios, ranging from Woody Allen comedies to zombie sagas. A major lure for film-makers and producers is the salient matter of dispensing with constructing an expensive set – there's already one there.
That Anywheresville quality to shopping-mall interiors lends various films a universal feel. Don't all malls look basically the same on the inside, dominated by bright lighting, displays, food courts, neat rows of shops, fountains and sculptures? Almost naturally, American movie-makers have utilised the mall for many, »

How Louisiana Actors and Crew Benefit from Boom in Local Productions
23 May 2012 12:00 AM, PDT | backstage.com | See recent Backstage news »
Louisiana may be the greatest actor among the 50 United States. In countless films and television shows, the state has portrayed Texas, New Mexico, and Colorado, the jungles of South America, London, and even Los Angeles.Current and upcoming feature films shooting in the state include Quentin Tarantino's "Django Unchained," the sci-fi adaptation "Ender's Game," and Dito Montiel's "Empire State," a heist flick set in New York City."Historically, Louisiana has had a film industry," said Chris Stelly, executive director of Louisiana Entertainment, a division of the office of economic development. But he estimated that the business attracted only two or three projects a year prior to 2002, generating about $10 million in revenue for the state.Since becoming a pioneer a decade ago by establishing tax credits for film and television productions, though, business has been booming in Louisiana. Seventy-nine applications were submitted for the tax incentive program in 2007, according to. »

Leonardo DiCaprio: "Rent My Malibu Pad ... for $75K!"

What would you pay to live like an A-list celeb? If $75,000 per month is your magic number, you're in luck -- you can rent Leonardo DiCaprio's Malibu beach house for exactly that amount!Located inside the celeb-favorite, ritzy gated community known as Malibu Colony, Leo is offering up his freshly remodeled 7 bedroom, 6 bathroom Cape Cod-style abode just in time for summer. Featuring a 4 bedroom, ocean front main house, 2 bedroom detached guest house, and detached loft with a gym, media room, office and yet another bedroom, the space sounds like the perfect party pad for those long summer days. We can't help but wonder why the long-time bachelor wouldn't spend all of his free time here ... though having just filmed "The Great Gatsby" in Australia, and now shooting Quentin Tarantino's new flick "Django Unchained," we're guessing he's just never in town long enough to enjoy his beach home.You »

Django Unchained to Include Surprise Guest Stars
22 May 2012 3:30 PM, PDT | GeekTyrant | See recent GeekTyrant news »
Here's a little tidbit of movie information I thought I'd pass along regarding Quentin Tarantino's Django Unchained. Harvey Weinstein revealed that there could be a couple of “surprise” guest-stars in the movie. We have no idea who these guest stars will be, so I guess we'll just have to wait to see the movie.
Sacha Baron Cohen, Joseph Gordon-Levitt and Kurt Russell were attached to the film at one point but they ended up dropping out of it for one reason or another. Maybe these guest-stars will be replacing those actors. Or maybe they're just a couple of last minute additions to the film.
Tarantino is still in the process of shooting the film, but some of it was screened at the Cannes Film Festival and it's gotten nothing but positive buzz. I can't wait to see this movie!
Here's the official synopsis:

All the latest news from the Croisette, as Brad Pitt's new movie Killing Them Softly makes its debut
10.47am: Good morning and welcome to the latest Cannes liveblog. I'm ripping back the reins from Andrew Pulver as he gets the train down to the south of France, where he'll grab the baton (or, perhaps, just a baguette) from me and I'll fly home.
I'm back in the press room, which is currently humming with slightly inelegant excitement as Brad Pitt is about to walk past, on his journey from the Killing them Softly photocall to the press conference.
10.52am: The film itself is a blood-lust-tastic crime thriller set in 2008 round New Orleans. Directed by Andrew Dominik, with whom Pitt teamed up for The Assassination of Jesse James by Robert Ford the Coward, it's a tale of sweaty crooks and desperate junkies, cracked codes of honour and the primacy of cash. »

‘Django Unchained’ May Have Room For Surprise Cameos; Won’t Be Ready For Fall Festival Circuit
22 May 2012 12:54 PM, PDT | The Film Stage | See recent The Film Stage news »
If there is one studio to own the week thus far, it is without a shadow of doubt, The Weinstein Company. Before this morning’s unveiling of Andrew Dominik‘s Killing Them Softly (our review) at Cannes, the first glorious teaser for Paul Thomas Anderson‘s The Master was released. In between that they had a presentation, showing off more from their Philip Seymour Hoffman/Joaquin Phoenix drama, a look at David O. Russell‘s Silver Linings and then the first footage from Quentin Tarantino‘s Django Unchained. We wrapped it all up, but new information has been revealed about the upcoming spaghetti western.
Kurt Russell and Sacha Baron Cohen both recently left the project due to scheduling and other issues, but there has been no word about replacements or if Tarantino will be cutting any parts. We now have a hint, as head honcho Harvey Weinstein spoke to Deadline, »

The Conversation: What Are People Saying About the 'Django Unchained, 'The Master' and 'The Silver Lining Playbook' Footage?
22 May 2012 10:20 AM, PDT | Movies.com | See recent Movies.com news »
Yesterday a select group of critics at Cannes were treated to a special presentation of footage by The Weinstein Co. Three of their most anticipated titles were previewed, Quentin Tarantino's Django Unchained, Paul Thomas Anderson's The Master and David O. Russell's The Silver Linings Playbook. While reception of the last of those films was spotty, it seems the problem of it being underwhelming was merely the fault of its being placed next to more obviously excitable presentations. As for the PTA film, much of the buzz out of France is less important given that we all got a tiny taste of The Master via teaser trailer earlier in the day. You can find full, spoiler-ish descriptions of the scenes shown by Harvey Weinstein, who introduced the slate as "some of...
