Cannes 2013: 'Seduced and Abandoned' Sneak Peek Clip

17 May 2013 9:00 AM, PDT | Rope of Silicon | See recent Rope Of Silicon news »

One film I've added to my Cannes screening schedule is James Toback's Seduced and Abandoned, a documentary shot during the 65th Anniversary of the Cannes Film Festival described as a cinematic exploration of several interconnected subjects: The Cannes Film Festival and cinema art, money, glamor and death. The film is guided by Toback and Alec Baldwin and features original portraits of Bernardo Bertolucci, Francis Ford Coppola, Roman Polanski, Martin Scorsese, Ryan Gosling, Jessica Chastain, Berenice Bejo, Diane Kruger and James Caan. Seduced and Abandoned was recently acquired by HBO Films and I'm planning on seeing it this Sunday, May 19 and to prepare you for my review, a first look at the film has arrived online and can be viewed below. With HBO picking this one up ahead of its screening it has to mean it's, at the very least, a decent watch. »

To Rome With Love

17 May 2013 1:13 AM, PDT | Sky Movies | See recent Sky Movies news »

Woody Allen steps in front of the camera for the first time since 2006's Scoop to join a typically starry cast in this quattro formaggi platter of love and laughs, made in the Eternal City. Allen is the opera director who is crazily inspired after meeting the gifted father of his daughter's Italian fiance, while visiting architect Alec Baldwin guides student Jesse Eisenberg through a tricky romantic situation. Elsewhere, Penelope Cruz's call girl puts a newlywed in a compromising position and local nobody Roberto Benigni suddenly finds himself a national media star. »

Watch: First Footage From James Toback & Alec Baldwin's Cannes Documentary 'Seduced & Abandoned'

16 May 2013 11:45 AM, PDT | The Playlist | See recent The Playlist news »

While this weekend sees the release of yet another Hollywood blockbuster, the global film industry at large has descended upon the South of France for the Cannes Film Festival. While most of us will never get to experience the festival ourselves, “Seduced and Abandoned,” a new documentary premiering this weekend at the Croisette, will explore the festival from the point of view of filmmakers and we got our first look at the trailer. Produced by Alec Baldwin and director James Toback, the documentary follows the pair at last year’s festival as they tried to raise financing for a new project. Baldwin and Toback were able to score interviews with not only anonymous financiers and distributors but also some big names like Martin Scorsese, Francis Ford Coppola, Bernardo Bertolucci, Roman Polanski, Ryan Gosling, Jessica Chastain (she really is in everything now), Berenice Bejo, Diane Kruger and James Caan.

Benedict Cumberbatch's Star Trek villain speaks with the voice of reason

15 May 2013 2:20 PM, PDT | The Guardian - Film News | See recent The Guardian - Film News news »

As critics swoon over the British star's timbre and tone, it is clear that a great voice is still essential for any great movie actor

This week, Benedict Cumberbatch has been basking in praise for his portrayal of the villain, John Harrison, in Jj Abrams' new film, Star Trek Into Darkness – more particularly, his voice has been drawing raves.

"So sepulchrally resonant that it could have been synthesised from the combined timbres of Ian McKellen, Patrick Stewart and Alan Rickman holding an elocution contest down a well," sighed The Independent's Jonathan Romney. "The deep-voiced Cumberbatch asserts fully self-justified treachery", asserted The Hollywood Reporter's Todd McCarthy. In The New Yorker, Anthony Lane launched a career-overview of Cumberbatch's "honeyed mellifluous voice", concluding: "The timbre remains in Abrams film." The Daily Mirror judged its readers so in need of a top-up of Cumberbatch's Burtonesque baritone, it linked to a video in which »

Watch: James Toback's Cannes Documentary 'Seduced and Abandoned' Talks to Scorsese, Coppola, Bertolucci and Polanski (Video)

15 May 2013 12:00 PM, PDT | Thompson on Hollywood | See recent Thompson on Hollywood news »

Check out this clip from James Toback's Cannes documentary "Seduced and Abandoned," which follows the director and buddy Alec Baldwin as they adventure through the wilds of the Croisette, looking for funding for a new project. In the clip, Toback speaks with big names like Martin Scorsese, Francis Ford Coppola, Bernardo Bertolucci and Roman Polanski on the state of film and the industry.  HBO recently acquired North American rights to the film. As the studios cede ground to HBO, the Cannes Film Festival has embraced the cabler as well. Steven Soderbergh's Liberace biopic "Behind the Candelabra," with juicy roles for stars Michael Douglas and Matt Damon, is entered in the main competition.  "Seduced and Abandoned" makes its world premiere as a Special Screening in the Cannes Official Selection, and also includes portraits of stars Ryan Gosling, Jessica Chastain, Berenice Bejo, Diane Kruger and James Caan.  “The film idea »

'Saturday Night Live' best-host contest: Who deserves a second chance?

15 May 2013 10:26 AM, PDT | EW.com - PopWatch | See recent EW.com - PopWatch news »

After 20 episodes, the 38th season of Saturday Night Live comes to a close this weekend, with Ben Affleck as the finale’s guest host. The Oscar-winner will join the show’s Five-Timer’s Club, and even if the show doesn’t make a big deal out of it, like it recently did for Justin Timberlake, the episode has real promise. Affleck might not yet be on the level of Alec Baldwin or Jon Hamm, but he’s delivered some good yuks over the years, like when he responded to Matt Damon’s criticism and did a totally committed impression of »

Two princes kneel before you: Jake Gyllenhaal, Chris Pine in talks to join 'Into the Woods'

15 May 2013 9:18 AM, PDT | EW - Inside Movies | See recent EW.com - Inside Movies news »

The latest stars to be subjected to “yes, but can they sing?” scrutiny: Heartthrobs Jake Gyllenhaal and Chris Pine, potentially. EW has confirmed that Gyllenhaal is in talks to join Disney’s film adaptation of Into the Woods, the 1987 Stephen Sondheim musical about interwoven fairy tales. Deadline writes that Pine, too, is in talks for the film, though his rep would not confirm the news.

The actors are up for the roles of Cinderella’s Prince and Rapunzel’s Prince. There’s no word yet on which would be playing which. (Cinderella’s Prince is the bigger part, though.)

Juan Carlos Fresnadillo and Shia Labeouf Team Up for Mysterious ‘Villain’

15 May 2013 8:30 AM, PDT | FilmSchoolRejects.com | See recent FilmSchoolRejects news »

In “hey, I’ll give these guys a shot at this” news, Deadline reports that 28 Weeks Later and Intruders director Juan Carlos Fresnadillo, newbie screenwriter Joshua Zetumer (he just penned the new Robocop remake), and Even Stevens and Holes star Shia Labeouf are set to team up on Zetumer’s Villain. Fresnadillo will direct (uh, of course) the psychological thriller that “follows two brothers who mysteriously re-connect in an unforgiving wilderness.” Labeouf will play one of the brothers (the villain?), with the other brother role reportedly set to be cast soon. For now, that’s all we know about the project, but that tantalizing bit of plot information is certainly rich with possibility. Obviously, there’s still a lot that could go wrong with this one, and much of the film’s success will depend on who they get to star opposite Labeouf (perhaps his Orphans replacement Ben Foster?), an actor who seems to be screaming out »

4 Must-See Summer Movies For Post50 Audiences

15 May 2013 4:55 AM, PDT | Huffington Post | See recent Huffington Post news »

I recently sat through "Iron Man 3" with my three children. I admit that at least some of it was fun to watch. In fact, many of Robert Downey Jr.'s lines had me laughing out loud. But, for the most part, the needless addition of 3D and the endless string of loud explosions had my head spinning by the end. It got me wondering: Will there be anything for mature audiences to enjoy this summer? The good news is that -- from all accounts -- there will be. Indeed, here are four (hopefully) must-see movies that appear to be targeting post50s this summer.

1. If you loved "The Wedding Crashers" then you are probably going to at least like "The Internship" starring the same dynamic duo -- Vince Vaughn and Owen Wilson. This time the two play down-and-out salesmen whose careers have been upended by the digital age. The »

Cannes: First Look at Star-Studded Teaser for 'Seduced and Abandoned' (Exclusive Video)

15 May 2013 4:00 AM, PDT | The Hollywood Reporter | See recent The Hollywood Reporter news »

The Hollywood Reporter here provides an exclusive first look at James Toback's new documentary Seduced and Abandoned, which will have its world premiere at the Cannes Film Festival on Monday evening. The film, which HBO acquired this week and plans to air on television later this year, was shot during last year's Cannes Film Festival. It follows Toback, the Oscar-nominated screenwriter of Bugsy (1991) and director of numerous indie films, and his friend Alec Baldwin, the Oscar-nominated actor, as they traverse the Croisette, trying to raise financing for a new project and assessing the current state of the

Jeff Ross -- Lindsay Lohan Refuses To Be Roasted

We should have known by Lindsay Lohan's SNL performance that she has no sense of humor ... but this really takes the cake -- celebrity roastmaster Jeff Ross says Lindsay Refuses to participate in this year's Comedy Central Roast.It would've been a great idea to let comics poke fun at her fresh out of rehab ... because if there's anything we can learn from Alec Baldwin, it's that comedy can defuse almost any kind of negative publicity. »

Shia Labeouf Set To Be A 'Villain,' Michael Pena Joins Him In 'Fury'

14 May 2013 11:31 AM, PDT | The Playlist | See recent The Playlist news »

Shia Labeouf might be making more headlines for his, uh, eccentric foray into theater and emailing Alec Baldwin than for his movie work of late, but it doesn't change the fact that he's got a compelling, engaging screen presence, and he's been making some bold and interesting choices since breaking free of the "Transformers" franchise. The actor, who was last glimpsed at Sundance with "The Necessary Death of Charlie Countryman," has Lars Von Trier's "Nymphomaniac" in the can, and the actor just added another project to his slate, with Deadline reporting that the actor will star in the indie "Villain." A Black Listed script by Josh Zetumer (who wrote next year's "RoboCop" reboot, and was one of our Screenwriters On The Rise in 2012), it's a two-hander about a man confronted and tortured in the mountains by his brother, who blames him for having his kids taken away by social services. »

Cannes and Hollywood: a feisty marriage

14 May 2013 2:30 AM, PDT | The Guardian - Film News | See recent The Guardian - Film News news »

Hollywood and the world's most prestigious film festival, Cannes, have conducted an on-off romance down the years – and now they're closer than ever. But have they got too cosy? As the Croisette opens for business, Xan Brooks investigates

In among the ligging and rigging of last year's Cannes film festival, visitors may have spotted James Toback and Alec Baldwin trudging wearily back and forth along the Croisette. The director and star, it now transpires, were in town to shoot a very meta documentary – a film about their efforts to actually make a film. For a 10-day spell they interviewed everyone from Ryan Gosling to Martin Scorsese, Nicole Kidman to Roman Polanski. Along the way they took the temperature of a festival perched at the intersection between art and commerce. The documentary's title, Seduced and Abandoned, alludes to Baldwin's description of the film industry as "the world's worst girlfriend". But it »
