In case you haven't had a chance to watch this fantastic Damon Lindelof interview yet, take some time off today and give it a shot. From The Verge, Lindelof discusses lots, including almost 30 minutes on the Lost finale. Definitely a must watch for fans of the writer and his shows/movies.

Finally, Roman Polanski shot a short film for Prada called A Therapy, starring Helena Bonham Carter and Ben Kingsley.

Roman Polanski Makes Prada Film With Bonham Carter And Kingsley
23 May 2012 3:06 PM, PDT | WENN | See recent WENN news »
Moviemaker Roman Polanski has shot a new short film for fashion house Prada.
A Therapy features Brits Sir Ben Kingsley and Helena Bonham Carter playing psychiatrist and client.
The Dark Shadows star is dressed head-to-toe in Prada finery in the arty film.
Polanski, Kingsley and Bonham Carter aren't the only revered movie names taking part in the Prada-sponsored film - Oscar winners Ronald Harwood and Alexandre Desplat provide the script and music, respectively.
Polanski tells Britain's Telegraph, "I had the opportunity to reunite my favourite group of people on set and just have fun... It's very refreshing to know that there are still places open to irony and wit and, for sure, Prada is one of them." »

Watch: Roman Polanski's Prada-Funded Short Film 'A Therapy' With Ben Kingsley & Helena Bonham Carter
23 May 2012 5:00 AM, PDT | The Playlist | See recent The Playlist news »
Last year's "Carnage" might have been something of a disappointment, but it hasn't fazed Roman Polanski: the director's already gearing up for his next film "D," about the famous Dreyfus Affair in France in the 19th century, which will see the director reteam with his "The Ghost Writer" scribe Robert Harris. The plan is for the film to shoot at the end of the year, but Polanski's not been idle in the meantime: he's been in Cannes this week with a threefold purpose: the screening of the documentary "Roman Polanski: A Film Memoir" (read our review here), another screening, of his 1979 picture "Tess," and the unveiling of a new short film that he's directed.
The film, essentially a commercial for Prada, who funded it, is entitled "A Therapy," and is seemingly shot on a left-over set from "Carnage," with Polanski's "Death And The Maiden" and "Oliver Twist" star Ben Kingsley »

Roman Polanski/Prada Ad A Therapy
22 May 2012 4:55 PM, PDT | Alt Film Guide | See recent Alt Film Guide news »
Ben Kingsley: Roman Polanski Prada commercial A Therapy Roman Polanski is everywhere at the Cannes Film Festival. Polanski is the subject (and interviewee) of Laurent Bouzereau’s documentary Roman Polanski: A Film Memoir. He unveiled a restored print of his 1979/1980 Best Picture César and Oscar nominee Tess, starring Nastassja Kinski. And he is the director of the short film / Prada commercial A Therapy. Starring Helena Bonham Carter as a poor little Prada-clad rich woman and Ben Kingsley as her therapist and Prada aficionado, A Therapy was shown prior to the Tess screening. (Please scroll down.) Co-written by Polanski and The Ghost Writer‘s Ronald Harwood, A Therapy boasts music by The Queen‘s Alexandre Desplat, gorgeous cinematography by Girl with the Pearl Earring‘s Eduardo Serra, production design by The Godfather‘s Dean Tavoularis, and editing by The Pianist‘s Hervé de Luze.

Johnny Depp Joins Comanche Nation Indian Tribe
22 May 2012 10:01 AM, PDT | Moviefone | See recent Moviefone news »
From his boozy romp in "The Rum Diary" to his gothic tribute in "Dark Shadows," Johnny Depp is no slouch when it comes to character research. But his upcoming role as Tonto in Gore Verbinski's "Lone Ranger" might take the cake. According to the Hollywood Reporter, Depp has been initiated into the Comanche Indian tribe, a New Mexico-based group of Indians. The actor was invited to join after they learned about his involvement in the role. “I reached out, and Johnny was very receptive to the idea," Ladonna Harris, president of Americans for Indian Opportunity, told the website Indian Country. "He seemed proud to receive the invitation, and we were honored that he so enthusiastically agreed... He's a very thoughtful human being, and throughout his life and career, he has exhibited traits that are aligned with the values and worldview that Indigenous peoples share.” From the looks of the first photo, »

Dark Shadows' Fading Grace: A Movie Review
22 May 2012 4:00 AM, PDT | 28 Days Later Analysis | See recent 28 Days Later Analysis news »
Director: Tim Burton. Writers: Seth Grahame-Smith and John August (story). Cast: Johnny Depp, Michelle Pfeiffer, Helena Bonham Carter, Jackie Earle Haley, Chloë Grace Moretz, Alice Cooper, Christopher Lee and Eva Green. Sometimes injecting new blood into an old favourite, namely Dark Shadows, is not required. The original 60's show ages very well on its own; the 90's version looks like it was introduced to a market not quite ready for vampire fever, and the 2012 product? Twilight is over, and so should the vampire rest. Tim Burton's directorial attempt at reviving Dark Shadows for a new generation is more like reinvigorating interest than to try something new. Not everyone will want to go delving into exploring the series mythos with the originals. Instead, what this film does is to combine almost everything supernatural plot-wise that defined the television show into nearly two hours. Not all of them are properly introduced. »

Roman Polanski directs Ben Kingsley and Helena Bonham-Carter in Prada 'anti-commercial'

The French-Polish filmmaker surprised Cannes with a short film for the Italian fashion house
Roman Polanski introduced the premiere screening of his collaboration with Italian fashion giants Prada on Monday (22 May) by telling the audience the three-minute film was an "anti-commercial".
In his speech, delivered in French, the director added that he wanted to prove he "can make short films as well as long films." The film, titled A Therapy, was announced as a complete surprise before the screening of his 1979 film Tess, which was showing as part of the Cannes Classics section.
At odds with the majority of fashion shorts, Polanski's film is heavy in dialogue.
A suave, melodramatic Helena Bonham Carter, draped in a fabulous purple fur coat, swans into the office of Ben Kingsley, who plays her silent psychoanalyst.

Roman Polanski Returns to Cannes - With a Prada Ad
21 May 2012 2:13 PM, PDT | The Wrap | See recent The Wrap news »
Roman Polanski came to Cannes on Monday to show an old film, and also to debut a new one. But the new Polanski film is an oddity in the controversial director's career: It's an ad for Prada, though Polanski described it as "an anti-ad" afterwards. The short, which screened before a restored version of Polanski's 1979 film "Tess," features Helena Bonham Carter as a Prada-wearing patient and Ben Kingsley as a psychiatrist who finds himself distracted by the beauty of the purple fur coat his patient has hung on a rack.

'The Avengers' Torpedoes 'Battleship' At Box Office

'Dictator' and 'Dark Shadows' also make the top five over the weekend.

Of all the foes the Avengers have defeated, Universal Pictures may be the first to cry, "You sunk my battleship!"
With another $55.1 million earned during its third week in domestic theaters, "The Avengers" held strong at #1 over the weekend as Earth's Mightiest Heroes fended off competition from three new contenders, including "Battleship." The big-budget action pic, loosely adapted from the vintage game, which featured the catchphrase "You sunk my battleship!" in its once-ubiquitous TV commercials, was a distant second with an estimated $25.3 million debut.
Universal spent a reported $209 million on "Battleship," which opened earlier overseas (where it has already made $226 million). But the domestic debut for the action flick, which mixes seafaring military adventure with an alien invasion, is still a huge disappointment. »
Brooklyn Decker Box Office: Battleship Tanks, What To Expect Below Expectations
19 May 2012 8:47 PM, PDT | Alt Film Guide | See recent Alt Film Guide news »
Battleship: Brooklyn Decker, Taylor Kitsch Brooklyn Decker has two box-office disappointments opening on the same weekend: Decker is featured in Battleship and What to Expect When You’re Expecting. Both movies opened way below expectations on Friday; in fact, official studio estimates released Saturday morning have them faring even worse than Friday night estimates indicated. Starring Taylor Kitsch, Peter Berg’s Battleship raked in $9m at 3,650 locations on Friday in the Us/Canada according to Box Office Mojo. That’s about $500k less than early estimates. For comparison’s sake: Joss Whedon’s The Avengers, at the start of its third weekend out, took in an estimated $15.3m. Box-office prognosticators were expecting Battleship to gross $40m on its first weekend out in North America. It turns out the alien invasion actioner / sci-fier will be lucky if it earns much more than $25m. A Universal release, Battleship cost a reported $209m. »

Jennifer Lopez/What To Expect, The Dictator: Box Office Duds
19 May 2012 2:57 AM, PDT | Alt Film Guide | See recent Alt Film Guide news »
Jennifer Lopez, What to Expect When You’re Expecting Still going strong, The Avengers is on its third weekend out. Yet, the domestic box office is expected to be down 18% compared to last year because of three weak new entries: Peter Berg / Taylor Kitsch’s megabudgeted Battleship barely managed to stay afloat on Friday, while Sacha Baron Cohen‘s The Dictator (which opened on Wed.) and Kirk Jones’ all-star ensemble (Jennifer Lopez, Cameron Diaz, Chace Crawford, etc.) What to Expect When You’re Expecting performed below expectations. [See Box Office: Battleship bombs.] The Dictator grossed an estimated $5.5m at 3,008 theaters on Friday, for an expected weekend total of $16m, as per Deadline.com. Sacha Baron Cohen’s R-rated comedy will thus reach a cume of $23m after five days. For comparison’s sake, Bruno — which was considered a major box-office disappointment following Borat — opened with $30.61m on its first weekend out in July 2009. Supporting Baron »

Watch: Bill Murray Is Franklin D. Roosevelt In Trailer For Oscar Hopeful 'Hyde Park On Hudson'
18 May 2012 10:55 AM, PDT | The Playlist | See recent The Playlist news »
Accent: check. Impersonation of famous person in biopic: check. Forbidden love: check. Wheelchair: check. It looks like Bill Murray is ready for his Oscar moment. The actor was seen as a favorite for the award in 2004 for his performance in "Lost In Translation," but was beaten at the last by Sean Penn in "Mystic River." He's continued to make quirky, picky choices ever since, but no film seems to have a better chance of giving him another run at awards gold than period drama "Hyde Park on Hudson," a trailer for which has just debuted over at Yahoo.
The film, directed by Roger Michell ("Notting Hill," "Changing Lanes"), sees Murray play the great President Franklin D. Roosevelt, and tells the story of a weekend when Fdr and his wife Eleanor (Olivia Williams) went to a country retreat on the Hudson with King George VI and Queen Elizabeth (Samuel West and Olivia Colman, »
