Olivier Assayas on Something in the Air: 'A rock concert, a party, a riot – these are the rites of passage'
16 May 2013 4:05 PM, PDT | The Guardian - Film News | See recent The Guardian - Film News news »
Olivier Assayas's new film is set amid the fallout of the May 68 uprising and the rebellious antics of its hero recall the director's own youthful protests. He talks about adrenaline rushes and breaking rules
Olivier Assayas, the writer, director and former film critic, is truly cool. He is the maker of some of the most playful, intellectual French cinema of the past two decades. His tastes are eclectic, his skill-set vast: he can move confidently between witty romps (such as his 1996 breakthrough, Irma Vep, one of the cleverest of all films about film-making, or the techno-thriller Demonlover) and lavish, patient period pieces (Les Destinées Sentimentales) or slow-burn emotional studies (Summer Hours). His most formidable achievement is the five-and-a-half-hour Carlos, a painstaking recreation of the rise of Carlos the Jackal made for television in 2010 but mounted with a scope and handsomeness to shame any Hollywood equivalent.

TrustNordisk Grabs ‘Prize’ (Exclusive)
14 May 2013 1:00 PM, PDT | Variety - Film News | See recent Variety - Film News news »
TrustNordisk has nabbed international sales on Hans Petter Moland’s comedy “The Prize Idiot,” starring Stellan Skarsgard and Bruno Ganz.
Penned by Kim Fupz Aakeson (“A Somewhat Gentle Man”) and produced by Paradox Film, the $6.1 million pic stars Skarsgard as an upright citizen who, following his son’s sudden death, embarks on a revenge rampage that gets him embroiled in a drug war between Norwegian and Serbian mobsters.
“I see ‘The Prize Idiot’ as a reinvention of a Western but set in the mountains. It deals with such topics as ethnic prejudice and nationalism in a humorous way,” said Moland (pictured).
Cast also includes Pal Sverre Hagen (“Kon-Tiki”) and Birgitte Hjort Sorensen (“Borgen”).
TrustNordisk is shopping the film at Cannes Film Market, which kicks off Thursday, and has already pre-sold all rights to German distributor Neue Visionen. Nordisk Film is skedded to release it in Norway in February.

Sorry Richard Linklater, Robert Redford Will Direct 'A Walk In The Woods' Himself
10 May 2013 9:44 AM, PDT | The Playlist | See recent The Playlist news »
As excited as we were at the prospect of “Before Sunset” with two old guys in the woods (no really!), it has been confirmed that the director of “A Walk in the Woods” will now be Robert Redford and not Richard Linklater, as we previously reported. There’s no word on exactly why, although Linklater is probably going to be pretty busy with the big promo push for “Before Midnight,” and Redford has already spoken about wanting to get back in front of and behind the camera in a serious way since stepping down from Sundance. Redford will direct himself and Nick Nolte in the story of a veteran ex-pat writer who, in a bid to rediscover the America he left behind as well as his joie de vivre, heads off on the perilous Appalachian Trail with an out-of-shape, ex-alcoholic friend. It’s a project that’s been kicking around »

Redford Directing A Walk In The Woods
9 May 2013 2:08 PM, PDT | EmpireOnline | See recent EmpireOnline news »
Robert Redford has been trying for years to get an adaptation of Bill Bryson’s hilarious comic memoir A Walk In The Woods on screen. Originally planned as a reunion for Redford and his Sundance pal Paul Newman, that idea was thwarted by Newman’s death. And after a long trek through development, he’s finally found a director to do it his way. In short, he’ll do it himself.Nick Nolte is currently on to co-star in the film, which will adapt Bryson’s tome (subtitle: Rediscovering America On The Appalachian Trail), about attempting to conquer at least part of the 2000-mile Trail with his friend "Stephen Katz" (a pseudonym for Matthew Angerer).In the years since he first optioned the book, Redford has been through several directorial possibilities, including Barry Levinson, Richard Linklater and, as they told the Empire Pod-team last year, Little Miss Sunshine duo Valerie Faris and Jonathan Dayton. »

Robert Redford Takes Over as Director on A Walk In The Woods Starring Nick Nolte
8 May 2013 4:09 PM, PDT | Collider.com | See recent Collider.com news »
So much for the notion of Richard Linklater directing the adaptation of Bill Bryson’s A Walk in the Woods. The film has been in development for a number of years with Robert Redford and Nick Nolte attached to star as two childhood friends who meet up later in life to attempt to walk the Appalachian Trail, making observations about the world around them and catching up with their own lives during the journey. It was reported last month that Linklater was in discussions to direct the comedic pic, but now Screen Daily reports that Redford will instead be taking on directing duties himself. The film has a script by Michael Arndt (Toy Story 3) and is on track to start production later this year should everything come together. Redford most recently helmed the political thriller The Company You Keep and is set to appear in Marvel’s sequel Captain America: The Winter Soldier. »

The Company You Keep – The Review
25 April 2013 6:44 PM, PDT | WeAreMovieGeeks.com | See recent WeAreMovieGeeks.com news »
A former member of the revolutionary militant group the Weather Underground goes on the run after a journalist outs him in The Company You Keep, a political thriller directed by Robert Redford and based on Neil Gordon’s novel. It’s a film that touches on the costs of political commitment, specifically the fervent activism of young college kids in the ’60s who, swept up in the revolutionary moment, took actions that they pay for the rest of their lives. Unfortunately, it’s not as thought-provoking, or as political, as it sounds. Since Redford doesn’t have the guts to either condemn or applaud the Weather Underground radicals, The Company You Keep basically boils down to one long, boring chase. There’s a subject here for a good movie, perhaps even a great one, but this isn’t it.

Blu-ray Review: Star-Studded ‘Gangster Squad’ Bores with Recycled Tropes
25 April 2013 6:56 AM, PDT | HollywoodChicago.com | See recent HollywoodChicago.com news »
Chicago – Ruben Fleischer’s “Gangster Squad” is a steak devoid of juice. It has all the trappings of an effortlessly enjoyable genre exercise, but it doesn’t bring a single fresh idea to the table. It goes through the usual motions of a standard gangster picture while giving each overqualified member of its ensemble exactly one note to play. And they’re all exceedingly familiar notes, conveying a tune so familiar even Sam would refuse to play it again.
Josh Brolin plays a square-jawed officer with a perpetually concerned wife. Ryan Gosling plays a suave ladykiller (god what a stretch) who falls for a femme fatale (Emma Stone, looking like a kid playing dress-up). Nick Nolte wheezes and grunts. Giovanni Ribisi wears nerdy glasses, signaling that his character’s fade-out will arrive long before the final one. Anthony Mackie and Michael Peña supply different shades of skin color and little else. »

Gangster Squad - Blu-ray Review
24 April 2013 8:13 AM, PDT | Monsters and Critics | See recent Monsters and Critics news »
Although it has the glamour of classic Hollywood and the gritty violence of the genre, Gangster Squad feels a tad too formulaic to ever fully stand on its own. The film features solid performances from its incredible ensemble cast, but seems to borrow a tad too much from past gangster films . most notably Brian De Palma's The Untouchables. Loosely based on true events, Gangster Squad was directed by Ruben Fleischer with a screenplay by Will Beall, the film features a top notch cast of Hollywood talent including Sean Penn, Josh Brolin, Ryan Gosling, Sullivan Stapleton, Emma Stone, Nick Nolte, Anthony Mackie, Robert Patrick, Michael Peña, and Giovanni Ribisi. Set in 1949.s Los Angeles, the film opens with »

HBO responds in court to 'Luck' lawsuit
23 April 2013 9:26 AM, PDT | EW - Inside TV | See recent EW.com - Inside TV news »
HBO isn’t ready to back down in the legal case against Luck.
Barbara Casey, the former American Humane Association employee who claims she was fired for speaking out about the HBO show’s treatment of its horses, took legal action in January, claiming wrongful termination against the Aha, but also accusing HBO, along with Stewart Productions, which produced the show, of aiding and abetting an alleged animal abuse cover-up. (The cable network canceled its racetrack drama in March 2012 following a PETA protest and the death of three horses.)
HBO and Stewart Productions replied to that lawsuit with a demurrer »

Gangster Squad Blu-Ray Review
23 April 2013 8:06 AM, PDT | We Got This Covered | See recent We Got This Covered news »
Director Ruben Fleischer follows up two comedy films: Zombieland and 30 Minutes or Less with Gangster Squad, a cliché-ridden crime drama that borrows from every other title in the genre, while adding almost nothing to the mix, aside from the questionable decision to shoot the film digitally. Gangster Squad isn’t dragged down by its performances or its direction, but the script leaves it dead in the water before it’s even given a fighting chance.
Mickey Cohen (Sean Penn) is a ruthless crime lord. He’s thirsty for blood, money and power and his rise to the top is simple; kill everyone in your way. He buys cops when needed, but prefers to just eliminate people out of the equation altogether.
Chief Parker (Nick Nolte) comes up with the idea of rounding up some of his finest men and tasking them with the assignment of bringing Cohen down, outside of the books. »

How he kept his radical edge
20 April 2013 4:14 PM, PDT | The Guardian - Film News | See recent The Guardian - Film News news »
Robert Redford plays an ageing anti-war activist in his latest movie, The Company You Keep – just one more incarnation in an ever-changing image
Robert Redford's new film sees the Hollywood liberal play a craggy radical, hiding away from a criminally subversive past under an assumed name. Once the FBI rumbles him, the agents on his trail spend some time comparing the image of his lined face to that of his much younger, 1970s, moustachioed self.
Cinema audiences across the world have travelled down that same long, ageing trail with Redford too, watching as his luminous youth in the role of Bubber in the 1966 film The Chase was gradually replaced, first by the poised cynicism of The Candidate and then by the stately leading man in Out of Africa or the worn-out sleaze of his Indecent Proposal to Demi Moore. Yet, as a man, Redford's radical zeal remains undimmed.
