Buck – review
7 hours ago | The Guardian - Film News | See recent The Guardian - Film News news »
You'll wonder how you swallowed Robert Redford's ersatz Americana after watching this Sundance-praised horse-whisperer doc
Saddle up for a one-way ticket to inspirationville: this Sundance-wowing documentary gives an insight into the real-life horse whisperer, child abuse backstory and all. Buck Brannaman is the sort of copper-bottomed authentic that makes you wonder how you ever swallowed Robert Redford's blow-dried impression. Half nag, all guru, he burrs wise words about wrangling men and beasts, one's primal nature and one's animal altruism. Yet he's also acid enough to balance out the slight tang of treacle in Meehl's treatment. There's a whole heap of Americana to wallow in here, but it's testimony to the director and subject that Buck still trots along at such a lick. Catherine Shoard

New Look at Carey and Leo in 'The Great Gatsby'
25 May 2012 11:57 AM, PDT | Rope of Silicon | See recent Rope Of Silicon news »
I didn't watch the trailer for Baz Luhrmann's The Great Gatsby, but I did skim through it, just trying to see what it might have to offer. Personally, I think this is a film my expectations will be largely muted until I finally see it in theaters, because all I saw was a lot of Jack Clayton's disappointing 1974 effort starring Robert Redford and Mia Farrow through Luhrmann's wonderful visual prism. Luhrmann's ability to make an attractive feature is unquestionable, but Australia and Romeo + Juliet are not at all interesting as far as I'm concerned. Then I wondered about the 3-D. Why? And with 3-D does that simply mean we're going to get a whole bunch of CG environments? What I really hope is that there is something about the way Luhrmann tells the story that clicks. This material, far more than Australia, opens the door for what he explored in both Moulin Rouge! »

'The Great Gatsby' trailer features great typo
24 May 2012 10:56 PM, PDT | Pop2it | See recent Pop2it news »
The trailer for "The Great Gatsby" was released earlier this week to tremendous interest. But all the excitement about the Baz Luhrmann film featuring Leonardo DiCaprio is being tempered slightly by a major spelling error.
In a shot of a busy Times Square, a prominent billboard reads "Zeigfeld Follies." The only problem is that the famed Broadway production, which ran from 1907-31, is actually spelled "Ziegfeld Follies." The folks got the "i" and the "e" in the wrong spot.
Outside of that, the trailer looks pretty great. DiCaprio as Gatsby and Tobey Maguire as Nick Carraway seem like excellent casting decisions. And visually it looks to be much more interesting than the 1974 version starring Robert Redford and Mia Farrow.
Warner Bros, the studio behind the film, has yet to comment on the error.
"The Great Gatsby," likely with a corrected typo, is set for a Dec. 2012 release.

Will Smith Tells High Schoolers The Secret To His Career
24 May 2012 8:06 PM, PDT | Huffington Post | See recent Huffington Post news »
New York -- The Hayden Planetarium at Manhattan's Natural History Museum has been home to many famous voices over the last decade.
Tom Hanks, Liam Neeson, Harrison Ford and Robert Redford have all hosted space-related video presentations within the planetarium's dome. They don't usually show up in person; you might have a hard time getting anyone to pay attention to the space lesson directly above their heads if they did.
But on Thursday, with 300 public high school kids crammed into the planetarium for an event set up in support of the "Youth Inspired Challenge" program, history museum sponsors tried to combine a science lesson and the presence of a Hollywood megastar.
The kids had just returned from a special screening of "Men in Black 3" -- a movie about science! -- and were only told the screening would be followed with a "special presentation" about the film. When Will Smith came out, »

First Look at Baz Luhrman’s The Great Gatsby
23 May 2012 1:33 PM, PDT | Comicmix.com | See recent Comicmix news »
Baz Luhrman. F. Scott Fitzgerald. 3-D. Not a combination you would normally think of but the visual stylist is bringing the literary classic The Great Gatsby to the big screen. And in 3-D no less. Rather than the shock value found in too many ill-designed 3-D films, it should be interesting to see what he does with this.
The first trailer for the December Warner Bros. release just went live and based on this, I think we the audience will be in good hands.
Click here to view the embedded video.
This version stars star Leonardo DiCaprio as Jay Gatsby, Carey Mulligan as Daisy Buchanan, and Tobey Maguire as Nick Carraway. Newcomers making their debut include Amitabh Bachchan as Meyer Wolfsheim and Brendan Maclean as Klipspringer. The last attempt at adapting the film was the turgid Robert Redford vehicle nearly 40 years ago.

Everything We Know About 'The Great Gatsby' So Far
23 May 2012 9:00 AM, PDT | NextMovie | See recent NextMovie news »
Just about every high schooler is practically forced at gunpoint to read F. Scott Fitzgerald's 1925 novel "The Great Gatsby," perhaps because no other work both celebrates and condemns the promise of the American Dream with such insight. Now "Moulin Rouge!" director Baz Luhrmann is going to sprinkle his particular brand of pizzazz all over it.
Reuniting with "William Shakespeare's Romeo + Juliet" poster boy Leonardo DiCaprio, Luhrmann is staying true to the story of self-made man Gatsby and his doomed love affair with Daisy Buchanan, while adding contemporary style and music for what's sure to be an intoxicating cocktail of the Prohibition era. Consider this your invite to Gatsby's West Egg soiree.
Release Date: Dec. 25
Movie Math: "Funny People" + literacy - the funny ÷ jazz hands = "The Great Gatsby"

'Great Gatsby' Trailer: Baz Luhrmann + Kanye West Equals A Fan Girl's Dream Come True
23 May 2012 8:07 AM, PDT | MTV Movies Blog | See recent MTV Movies Blog news »
O! M! G! “The Great Gatsby” trailer is out and the full film can’t come soon enough.
It had me hooked from the moment I heard the pulsing beat of Kanye West and Jay-z’s “No Church In The Wild.” From there, director Baz Luhrmann transferred “Gatsby” fans to a glitzy, yet gritty take on F. Scott Fitzgerald’s Jazz Age masterpiece, which was always the author’s intent.
Decadent party scenes only mask the “hysteria” of the Roaring '20s, fueled by bathtub gin and a sense of liberation that influenced the fashions (shorter hemlines!) and loosey goosey morals (sexy, sexy times all over the place!) of the time.
For the December release, Luhrmann recalls the vibe of his equally modern take on “Romeo & Juliet,” which also starred his muse-like leading man, Leonardo DiCaprio. This time, DiCaprio is another ill-fated anti-hero. He’s the main man, Jay Gatsby, »

The Great Gatsby Trailer: Kanye and Fitzgerald, Together at Last
22 May 2012 7:39 PM, PDT | Vulture | See recent Vulture news »
In the seventies, high-school kids determined not to read were happy to have the Robert Redford–Mia Farrow adaptation of The Great Gatsby, but today's audiences are more sophisticated. We demand to see the green light in glorious 3-D! Judging from the trailer released today, the Baz Luhrmann version delivers. Twenties New York looks thrilling and vibrant, and there are plenty of opportunities to have bits of the the Great American Novel fly off the screen, from lavish confetti-strewn parties to Gatsby tossing around his beautiful shirts. Best of all, we don't have to imagine what it was like when Luhrmann blasted Jay-z on set because the trailer kicks off with Kanye West and Jay-z's "No Church in the Wild." »

'The Great Gatsby' trailer: Baz Lurhmann's take on the classic novel looks as gonzo as you expected
22 May 2012 7:00 PM, PDT | EW - Inside Movies | See recent EW.com - Inside Movies news »
One thing you can count on with Baz Luhrmann: The man sure knows how to spin cultural anachronisms to his favor. The trailer for his latest — an adaptation of F. Scott Fitzgerald’s seminal novel of roaring wealth and excess in 1922 New York City — opens with a cut from Kanye West and Jay-z’s Watch the Throne, and follows up with an extended cut of Jack White covering U2′s “Love is Blindness.” And yet somehow, it works.
We also get a good sense of the gonzo parties thrown by the enigmatic Jay Gatsby (Leonardo DiCaprio), as well as »

The Great Gatsby Trailer Arrives Online
22 May 2012 4:48 PM, PDT | cinemablend.com | See recent Cinema Blend news »
Many filmmakers have attempted to bring F. Scott Fitzgerald's novel The Great Gatsby - arguably the greatest book ever written - to the big screen, but thus far nobody has been successful. The most notable attempt came in 1974 when director Jack Clayton tried his hand at it. Despite bringing together a terrific cast that included Robert Redford, Mia Farrow, Bruce Dern and Karen Black,, the movie still couldn't match the power and brilliance of the original story. That, of course, puts a lot of pressure on Baz Luhrmann, whose own adaptation is set to come out at the end of this year. Will it succeed? Well, check out the trailer below and at least you can get an idea of it. The trailer launched on Apple, where you can see it in HD, but the preview is also available below. <! »
James McAvoy Joining Jessica Chastain In The Disappearance Of Eleanor Rigby
22 May 2012 6:24 AM, PDT | cinemablend.com | See recent Cinema Blend news »
Though he made a straight-up excellent Charles Xavier in last year's X-Men: First Class, James McAvoy tends to get forgotten when you think back to that movie-- it's hard to outshine Michael Fassbender's Magneto and the outlandish dullness of January Jones's Emma Frost, after all. But that's always been one of McAvoy's skills, slipping into a role so seamlessly that he makes it perfect without drawing attention to himself-- see his turn as the doomed Robbie in Atonement, or the shocked observer to Idi Amin in The Last King of Scotland. That quiet turn in First Class means it feels like it's been forever since McAvoy was onscreen--well, that and his starring role in Robert Redford's The Conspirator, which absolutely nobody saw. So it's good to hear that not only does he have the British indies Filth and Welcome to the Punch coming later this year, but »
Shia Labeouf Gets Booked For 'Triple Nine'
21 May 2012 6:13 PM, PDT | NextMovie | See recent NextMovie news »
Shia Labeouf: From "Lawless" to Lawman.
The "Transformers" star is picking up his badge and gun for the new police thriller, "Triple Nine," according to The Playlist.
"Triple Nine," which will reunite Labeouf with his "Lawless" director, John Hillcoat, centers on a group of crooked L.A. police officers who realize they must shoot one of their own in order to get away with planning a major heist. The project first started brewing a few years ago with Chris Pine and Jeff Bridges set to star but that version fell apart; it's now been confirmed as Hillcoat's next project.
No other casting has been announced for "Triple Nine," though Hillcoat hopes to possibly recruit some of his "Lawless" cohorts like Tom Hardy and Guy Pearce (who is a Hillcoat regular, having also appeared in "The Proposition" and "The Road"). Hillcoat's frequent music collaborator and screenwriter, Nick Cave, will probably be providing the film's score. »

As one door closes, so another opens... and Kelly Brook walks through it.
On the same day that Cheryl Cole jetted out of Cannes, having made her presence felt in a gown that merged effortlessly into the red carpet, Kelly Brook turned up to delight the photographers on La Croisette.
Kelly was at the screening for Vous N'Avez Encore Rien Vu (You Ain't Seen Nothing Yet) at the 65th Festival, where she joined other stars, including controversial director Roman Polanski.
Kelly does Cannes
The British model was dressed in a striking one-sleeved metallic silver dress, with a sneaky thigh-high split, and an accompanying clutch bag.
Kelly was in town to help promote Keith Lemon: The Movie, in which she ends up in bed with the British comedian - due to a dry spell, she joked.
But the Daily Mail reported that she'd received another off-screen offer while she was »

First Word On 'Lawless': Shia Labeouf Grows Up
19 May 2012 8:16 AM, PDT | Huffington Post | See recent Huffington Post news »
Cannes, France -- If Shia Labeouf has his way, this year's Cannes Film Festival is just a beginning.
After previous trips to the festival with blockbusters "Transformers" and "Wall Street: Money Never Sleeps," Labeouf is here with his first film in competition, the Prohibition-era "Lawless," as well as a short he directed, "Howard Cantour.com."
"Smaller hotel room, but a lot more pride," he said in an interview shortly before "Lawless" was to make its premiere Saturday.
In "Lawless," directed by John Hillcoat, Labeouf stars as the younger, less violent brother of a trio of Appalachia bootlegging brothers (Tom Hardy, Jason Clarke) protecting their backwoods freedom from a savage lawman from Chicago (Guy Pearce).
The film, to be released by the Weinstein Co. this fall, is a clear departure for Labeouf, whose young career has been more dominated by franchise action films than character-driven genre work like "Lawless."

Susan Sarandon Will Have ‘Ping-Pong Summer’
18 May 2012 6:30 AM, PDT | The Film Stage | See recent The Film Stage news »
Susan Sarandon is keeping busy with various projects, as Deadline reports she’s adding the coming-of-age tale Ping-Pong Summer to her filmography. Relatively unknown director Michael Tully will helm the project from a script he also wrote.
Set in the summer of 1985, the film revolves around a teenage boy obsessed with ping-pong and hip hop, who has a family vacation that changes everything. We haven’t gotten word on Sarandon‘s specific role, but I can only assume she will star as the boy’s mother, who is also unidentified at this time.
It would seem that Sarandon feels somewhat attached to the game of ping-pong, seeing as the Oscar-winner has also started a ping-pong program for New York City students. Dubbed “SPiN”, the program brings the game to schools across the five boroughs. With little news to go on, I guess it doesn’t hurt that the actress is »

First Official Look at Shia Labeouf In Robert Redford’s ‘The Company You Keep’
16 May 2012 12:19 PM, PDT | The Film Stage | See recent The Film Stage news »
Shot last year, we’ve been heavily anticipating the next directorial effort from Robert Redford. Despite crafting one majorly dull film with The Conspirator, there’s a few factors that have our eyes on The Company You Keep. With a script from Lem Dobbs (The Limey, Haywire) and a score by Cliff Martinez (Drive, Contagion), the film has an excellent cast, toplined by Shia Labeouf. The young actor is finally breaking out of his Michael Bay grasp and heading to much more enticing projects, including Lawless, bowing at Cannes this week.
Adapted from Neil Gordon‘s novel, the film centers on “a former Weather Underground militant Jim Grant (Redford) wanted by the FBI for 30 years for a Bank of Michigan robbery, who must go on the run when his true identity is exposed by a young, ambitious reporter (Labeouf) hell-bent on making a name for himself.” Julie Christie, Sam Elliott, »
