12 May 2013 7:17 AM, PDT | We Got This Covered | See recent We Got This Covered news »
That chunk o’hunk, Ryan Reynolds proves he’s not afraid to cry. Or wear a hat. At least in this first image from the upcoming thriller, Queen Of The Night he isn’t. The latest from director Atom Egoyan tells the story of a grieving father struggling to come to terms with the fate of his missing daughter. Reynolds is joined by Scott Speedman, Rosario Dawson, Mireille Enos and Kevin Durand.

In Atom Egoyan’s new thriller, Queen Of The Night, Ryan Reynolds plays Matthew, the father of an abducted child, Cass. Eight years after his daughter’s abduction, a series of disturbing clues surface, convincing Matthew that Cass, now 17, is still alive. In a terrifying race against time, »

First Look At Ryan Reynolds In Atom Egoyan's 'Queen Of The Night' & Daniel Radcliffe And Zoe Kazan In 'The F Word'
11 May 2013 10:55 AM, PDT | The Playlist | See recent The Playlist news »
It's been four years since Atom Egoyan's last feature, the sleazy erotic thriller "Chloe," but he's making up for that absence by being very, very busy. He's got two movies on the way -- the already shot and in post-production West Memphis Three drama "The Devil's Knot," which he quickly followed up with "Queen Of The Night," lensed earlier this year. And now, the first image from the film has arrived. Ryan Reynolds, Scott Speedman, Mireille Enos and Rosario Dawson star in the film about the father of an abducted child who still thinks she's alive. E1 has the distribution rights for Canada, but this will be repped in the market at Cannes, where it's likely to get some attention. No release dates, but perhaps we'll see it at Tiff?

Colin Firth to Lead Matthew Vaughn’s The Secret Service
29 April 2013 8:51 AM, PDT | Collider.com | See recent Collider.com news »
Last month, we reported that director Matthew Vaughn (X-Men: First Class) was set to adapt Mark Millar and Dave Gibbons' comic The Secret Service. The story is about a veteran secret agent who takes his ruffian nephew from the streets of London and into a British spy school that molds its students into suave 007-types. According to Heat Vision, Colin Firth is being courted for the role of the uncle. Vaughn was looking to reteam with his Kick-Ass star Aaron Taylor-Johnson for the role of the nephew, but the actor was unavailable due to a scheduling conflict. Hit the jump for more. Firth will next be seen in Atom Egoyan's West Memphis Three drama, Devil's Knot. The Secret Service is set for release on November 14, 2014. Heat Vision reports that the comic book was made with a Hollywood adaptation in mind, and Vaughn was involved in crafting the story. »

Colin Firth To Lead Matthew Vaughn's Spy Blockbuster 'The Secret Service'
29 April 2013 4:16 AM, PDT | The Playlist | See recent The Playlist news »
As an actor, Colin Firth has proved remarkably resilient over his thirty-year career. After breaking through in 1984's "Another Country," a series of strong performances followed that never quite saw him become a huge star. But suddenly, 1995's TV version of "Pride & Prejudice" made him a heartthrob, and led to roles in Oscar-winners "The English Patient" and "Shakespeare In Love." Just as the roles started to dry up again, he played another seminal romantic lead in "Bridget Jones' Diary." And then, as his career seemed to creep into self-parody with the likes of "Mamma Mia" and "St. Trinian's," he got back-to-back Oscar nominations for "A Single Man" and "The King's Speech," winning for the latter. And it looks like another reinvention for Mr. Firth might be on the way. Aside from "Tinker Tailor Soldier Spy," his immediate post-Oscar roles, in "Gambit" and "Arthur Newman," have been disappointing, but he's »

Colin Firth is joining the Secret Service
29 April 2013 3:38 AM, PDT | Upcoming-Movies.com | See recent Upcoming-Movies.com news »
Matthew Vaughn's Secret Service adaptation of the Mark Millar and Dave Gibbons comic book may star Colin Firth. Sources say that the Oscar-winning actor of The King's Speech, is in talks to star in the film scripted by Vaughn, alongside Jane Goldman. Vaughn also produces and finances by his Marv films, as he did with the excellent Kick-Ass, a film who's sequel opens on August 16th. Distributed by 20th Century Dox with a release date of November 14th, 2014, Secret Service follows a ruffian from a bad neighborhood in London who's drafted into a British spy school; the kind that develops suave, 007-type spies. Firth would play the uncle. Firth's currently in Cinedigm's Arthur Newman comedy alongside Emily Blunt, Anne Heche and Sterlin Beaumon. The Dante Areola film opened in limited areas with little response from viewers. Prior to that, he was in the less-than-well-received Gambit with Cameron Diaz, Stanley Tucci and Alan Rickman. »
Rosario Dawson Up For Rock Comedy
24 April 2013 11:26 PM, PDT | EmpireOnline | See recent EmpireOnline news »
Rosario Dawson - you know her: beautiful lady, was in Trance and Sin City, was once on Sesame Street - will soon be showing off another side of her formidable arsenal. According to Deadline, she'll be appearing in Chris Rock's so-far untitled romantic-comedy, a lead role that will see her playing opposite Rock himself.The film is penned by Rock, his first screenplay since 2007’s I Think I Love My Wife (not including a thus-far unmade redo of David Mamet’s take on Kurosawa’s High And Low). It’s billed as an edgy romantic-comedy set in New York’s showbiz world. Rock lined up a deal with uber-producer Scott Rudin when he signed up for potty-mouthed Broadway show The Motherfucker With The Hat, and Rudin will oversee things with his long-time production partner Eli Bush when the shoot kicks off in the Big Apple this June.

Tarsem & Ryan Reynolds Are 'Selfless'
24 April 2013 7:33 PM, PDT | The Playlist | See recent The Playlist news »
Tarsem, the man behind movies "The Cell," "The Fall" and "Immortals," has always had bold visuals to with his ambitious films, but the ends results always seem to fall just a little short. He's a master stylist to be certain, and even something like the somewhat absurd-sounding "Selfless" opens the door to plenty of opportunities for creativity. The director is teaming with Ryan Reynolds for picture, penned by Alex and David Pastor ("Carriers"). And strap in, because this premise is a little loopy. The thriller would find an older wealthy man, transplanting his mind into the body of younger person. The twist? Turns out the younger body was murdered, and now he has to go on the run from the killers who offed him in the first place, while trying to sort it all out. Umm....yeah....it will at least look good, right? For Reynolds, it's another move to work with an auteur, »

Tribeca Film Review: ‘Bluebird’
24 April 2013 7:15 PM, PDT | Variety - Film News | See recent Variety - Film News news »
In “Bluebird,” the audience is the sole witness to the unexpected avian visitor that distracts a bus driver from discovering the student left sleeping among her empty benches. Separated from its flock, the poor bird should have flown south long ago; the boy, meanwhile, goes overlooked until morning, when he is rushed to the hospital with severe hypothermia. Examining all those “responsible” for the child’s well-being, Lance Edmands’ fragile, arthouse-bound debut stands in direct contrast with its weary, working-class characters and the subzero Maine winter against which their story unfolds — a mournful throwback to more poetically inclined times.
Had “Bluebird” been accepted into Sundance, the attention might have given this modest, minutely observed salt-of-the-earth portrait a shot in a theatrical scene relatively unforgiving toward regional mood pieces (“Ballast,” “Shotgun Stories”). Premiering instead at Tribeca, it’s a diamond in the rough, and will rely on the attention of critics »

Tribeca 2013 Review: Beautiful ‘Bluebird’ Heralds Arrival of An Impressive New Indie Voice
21 April 2013 8:00 AM, PDT | FilmSchoolRejects.com | See recent FilmSchoolRejects news »
Comparisons to Atom Egoyan’s The Sweet Hereafter will likely plague Lance Edmands’ Bluebird, thanks to the films’ similar subject matter – both are set in snowy small towns, both center on a tragedy that occurs on a school bus, both find their drama in the aftermath – but Edmands’ new feature quickly finds its own footing and announces the arrival of a talented new independent filmmaker. Bluebird approaches its seemingly familiar plotline with a tighter focus than Egoyan’s, as Edmands spends the majority of his film with school bus driver Lesley (Amy Morton), a kind and well-intentioned woman whose life is destroyed by a minor moment of distraction. During an end-of-shift bus check, a trilling bluebird draws Lesley’s attention away from the task at hand, with the hautning consequences of her bird-watching not revealed until late the next morning. Lesley is, however, not the only person at fault in Bluebird (the accident at the center of »
