Inside The Search For Missing Marines
25 May 2012 10:50 AM, PDT | Huffington Post | See recent Huffington Post news »
Award-winning filmmaker Steven C. Barber ("Return To Tarawa") has a new documentary making its debut this Memorial Day. "Until They Are Home" focuses on the search for the remains of U.S. Marines who were killed in the World War II Battle of Tarawa, and it features a major co-sign: Kelsey Grammer narrates.
The film is a sequel to "Return to Tarawa: The Leon Cooper Story," which was narrated by Ed Harris. That documentary centered on Cooper, who at 93 is one of the last remaining survivors of the battle. Tarawa was a fortified Japanese compound in the Pacific (currently part of the Republic of Kiribati). During "Return," Cooper and the film crew discovered that the island is still littered with live ammunition.
"Until They Are Home," naturally, focuses on what comes next. In 2010, the Joint Pow/Mia Accounting Command (Jpac) team went back to Tarawa to recover the remains of Marines and bring them home. »

Dustin Lance Black Talks Re-Editing & Taking A Second Stab At His Directorial Debut 'Virginia'
18 May 2012 1:40 PM, PDT | The Playlist | See recent The Playlist news »
Dustin Lance Black had a rude awakening with his directorial debut "What's Wrong with Virginia?" when it first premiered at the Toronto Film Festival in 2010 -- critics hated it, including The Playlist. Even though he'd won an Academy Award for his screenplay of "Milk," Black discovered that the goodwill from his Oscar acceptance speech only went so far. But if it had been up to him, he wouldn't have shown the film before he was confident with what he had shot. "We were out of money, and out of time, in a big way," he told The Playlist. "I was being told, 'You're finished,' and so it was a bit of a cross-your-fingers situation, which is never a good way to show your film."
People were not kind -- and the headlines mirrored the film's title. Even though Black expected the criticism, "it didn't make it hurt any less. »

Dustin Lance Black Talks "Virginia," Pushing the President and More!
18 May 2012 12:21 PM, PDT | AfterElton.com | See recent AfterElton.com news »
Dustin Lance Black not only wrote but also directed the new film Virginia.
While he’s best known for writing landmark biographical motion pictures like Milk and J. Edgar and dramatic television like HBO’s Big Love, Dustin Lance Black’s latest film is much more personal to him. In Virginia, which opens this weekend in New York and Los Angeles, actress Jennifer Connelly plays the title character, a mother who is raising her young son (Harrison Gilbertson), and having an affair with the town Sheriff (Ed Harris) who happens to be Mormon and also happens to have a form of schizophrenia.
While the film is not exactly autobiographical, Black talked to AfterElton earlier this week about how he pulled from his own life for the script, which he also directs, how the initial negative reactions he received for the film only made him work harder, and what he’ll say to President Obama, »

Dustin Lance Black Funnelled His Cash Into Virginia
17 May 2012 6:41 PM, PDT | WENN | See recent WENN news »
Scriptwriter Dustin Lance Black funnelled his own cash into Virginia to pay for re-editing after the Jennifer Connelly movie bombed at its debut.
The Milk writer makes his directorial debut with the drama, which stars Connelly as Virginia, a mentally troubled woman who has an affair with a married sheriff, played by Ed Harris.
The film, originally titled What's Wrong With Virginia, premiered to largely negative reviews at the 2010 Toronto International Film Festival, prompting Black to head back into the editing room.
Now he admits he was forced to cough up his own money to complete the passion project to his liking.
He tells New York Magazine, "We never felt we had enough time in the editing room... We didn't even have time to watch it with an audience. We showed it to friends and family - which I'm now thinking is a terrible idea, because they're always going to say they love it and that's not very helpful. And although the audiences in Toronto were very supportive, just watching the film through their eyes, I felt like I was watching a film that didn't know if it was a drama or a comedy, until maybe about an hour in. For me, that was too late in the film.
"And for the critics, that was definitely too late in the film. And I got beaten up by critics, in some ways deservedly so. So I went to my producer... and I said, 'We have to cut this thing.' It was tough, because we had distribution offers, and people said, 'If you don't take them now, these will go away.' So it was a bit of a fight. I had to pony up some of the money for the re-edit."
But Black reveals he did have some help from celebrated filmmaker Gus Van Sant: "He told me a story about re-cutting a film (Even Cowgirls Get the Blues) that didn't go well, and gave me some advice about what to watch out for." »
Lawsuit Against SAG-aftra Dropped
16 May 2012 10:31 PM, PDT | backstage.com | See recent Backstage news »
SAG-aftra can move forward as a joint organization after holdout opponents of the merger voluntarily dropped their lawsuit aimed at divorcing the two. A group of SAG members, which included actors Martin Sheen, Ed Asner, and Ed Harris, filed suit earlier this year to stop the vote on the merger. When that suit was rejected by a judge in March, the group continued its legal battle until Wednesday, May 17. David Casselman, an attorney for the group, announced the decision in a letter to SAG counsel Robert Bush. He cited the vote that took place approving the merger as a reason to drop the suit. "After careful consideration, largely reflecting on the results of the recent merger election, my clients have reached the conclusion that continued prosecution of the pending litigation would not assist the cause they initially sought to champion,” he wrote.Sheen's group had initially sought to prevent the. »

Danny Strong has 'Game Change' career move from actor to writer [Video]
16 May 2012 10:06 AM, PDT | Gold Derby | See recent Gold Derby news »
After a lengthy career as a character actor on such shows as "Buffy, the Vampire Slayer," "Gilmore Girls," and "Mad Men," Danny Strong is now enjoying great success as the writer of political dramas. He was nominated for an Emmy in 2008 for the George W. Bush vs. Al Gore "Recount" television movie and has a great shot at winning the writing award this September for "Game Change." That HBO film tells the story of the 2008 presidential campaign for Republican nominee John McCain (Ed Harris), his campaign advisor Steve Schmidt (Woody Harrelson), and the surprising, selection of Alaska Governor Sarah Palin (Julianne Moore) as a running mate. In a video interview with Gold Derby, Strong said, "They're really fascinating stories, and they're really dramatic stories. You've got extremely high stakes. You've got the issues being dealt with being some of the most important issues in this country, and it just make. »
Dustin Lance Black Talks About Recutting 'Virginia' and What He Really Thought of His First Version
16 May 2012 10:03 AM, PDT | Indiewire | See recent Indiewire news »
Nobody knew quite what to expect from "What's Wrong With Virginia," Dustin Lance Black's directing debut, when it premiered at the 2010 Toronto International Film Festival. But few expected the critical backlash that followed. The Southern-set film, based loosely on his childhood experiences, stars Jennifer Connelly as schizophrenic mother engaged in a long-time affair with Mormon sherrif Richard Tipton (Ed Harris), who's struggling to raise her son who also has the hots for Tipton's daughter (Emma Roberts). That's a heady plot for a newbie director, but Black wasn't just any newcomer. Prior to arriving in Toronto, the California native was fresh off of winning an Oscar for penning the screenplay to "Milk." In the process he became a gay icon and had just completed collaborating with Clint Eastwood on their J. Edgar Hoover biopic. Black was experiencing a career high. That ended with the reviews for "What's Wrong With »

Virginia Movie Review
14 May 2012 3:26 PM, PDT | ShockYa | See recent ShockYa news »
Title: Virginia Director: Dustin Lance Black Starring: Jennifer Connelly, Ed Harris and Emma Roberts Creating an emotional main character that is also complex and challenging, and who isn’t afraid to go after what they want while also protecting the ones they love, isn’t the easiest task for a filmmaker. When that character is also coping with a mental illness, the task is even harder. But writer Dustin Lance Black successfully did just that with the lead title character in his directorial debut, the new drama ‘Virginia.’ While Virginia heavily relies on her son to take care of her, she also realizes that she needs to give him a better life, [ Read More ] »

Take Three: Chris Cooper
14 May 2012 8:11 AM, PDT | FilmExperience | See recent FilmExperience news »
Craig here with this week’s Take Three. Today: Chris Cooper
Take One: Adaptation. (2002)
Cooper was up against a quartet of big names in the 2003 Best Supporting Actor Oscar race: Christopher Walken (Catch Me if You Can), Ed Harris (The Hours), John C. Reilly (Chicago) and Paul Newman (Road to Perdition). As the then least weighty name, his nomination didn’t necessarily guarantee success. But, conversely, his fifteen prior award wins and a further 5 nominations for the role spoke volumes. He emerged victorious, yet, inexplicably, Adaptation remains his only nod to date.
Spike Jonze’s very meta, self-referencing Adaptation was unique and playful in equal measure. It mulled over plenty of original ideas with its life-fiction overlap. Cooper, as orchid thief John Laroche, a real-life figure, stole the film away from actors as lively as Nicolas Cage, Meryl Streep and Tilda Swinton. He played the wry humour and the tragedy of Laroche with equal skill. »

Dodgy Teaser For Phantom With Harris And Duchovny
14 May 2012 2:24 AM, PDT | The Hollywood News | See recent The Hollywood News news »
Here is the first teaser trailer for Phantom, the new thriller starring Ed Harris, David Duchovny and William Fichtner.
It’s a Hunt For The Red October (1990) style submarine based jaunt which… seems a bit dodgy. Maybe the film is yet to be finished (often the case with sizzle reels and teasers) and if so, then this could seem out of line. But you may notice that it’s all close ups and precious few effects shots or wide angles. This is often a trick utilised when film makers don’t have much in the way of sets, so we get lots of close ups with actors talking about intense situations, maybe a gunshot or two and a small scuffle. This exact thing happened in Megashark Vs Giant Octopus. Just sayin.’
On the plus side, it has a solid cast. Harris (The Rock, Apollo 13) and Duchovny (Californication, The X Files) are always watchable, »
