Matt Damon Goes Glam in First Image From Terry Gilliam’s ‘Zero Theorem’

4 hours ago | Variety - Film News | See recent Variety - Film News news »

Matt Damon is certainly earning his stripes in the first photo from Terry Gilliam’s latest film, “The Zero Theorem.”

Damon sports an all-white crew-cut hairdo and zebra print suit in the shot, which debuted Monday afternoon on Bleeding Cool News.

The Zero Theorem,” co-starring Christoph Waltz and David Thewlis, follows Waltz’s character who is trying to deduce the meaning of life using a specific theorem. Damon plays an ominous character who is simply called “The Management.”

Damon is no stranger playing with his look on camera. In Steven Soderbergh’s “The Informant,” the actor gained 30 pounds and added a mustache to play the not-so-honest whistleblower, and in his upcoming sci-fi pic “Elysium,” he ditches the hair altogether.

Distributed by Voltage Pictures, “The Zero Theorem” hits theaters Dec. 19. »

Check Out Matt Damon In Terry Gilliam’s The Zero Theorem

6 hours ago | We Got This Covered | See recent We Got This Covered news »

Add Matt Damon’s name to the list of actors that are having a bang-up year. First was Behind The Candelabra, which garnered pretty positive reviews and made yet another argument for TV beginning to outstrip movies. Next up is Elysium, which I think mostly everyone is excited about. Now, we have the first image of Damon from Terry Gilliam’s The Zero Theorem.

The Zero Theorem features Christoph Waltz as Qohen Leth, a genius living in a dystopian world run by a strange Big Brother type called Management – that’s Damon, by the way. Qohen’s work exists around the Zero Theorem, a formula to determine whether life has any meaning. Qohen just wants to get his work done, but he’s constantly being interrupted by external forces, including a sexy woman and Bob, the son of management.

The Zero Theorem has quite a cast, including David Thewlis, Ben Whishaw and Tilda Swinton. »

‘Kingdom of Heaven: The Director’s Cut’ epic filmmaking at its finest

Kingdom of Heaven: The Director’s Cut

Directed by Ridley Scott

Written by William Monaghan

UK/Us 2005

Various directors take very differing stances when it comes to the ongoing threat of executive meddling. This, of course, is when the studio moneymen stop what you’re doing and tell you that what you’ve made will simply not cut it at the box office, that key demographics that their marketing department has been stringently working on (usually in the form of charts) will dislike your movie. If you’re Terry Gilliam, you’ll go to war with said studio and prove that you have the significant integrity (read massive cojones) to work yourself into the ground to make sure nobody interferes with your baby. If you’re David Fincher, you’ll probably go home as loudly and publicly as you can manage.

But if you’re Ridley Scott, one of »

Criterion Collection: Life is Sweet | Blu-ray Review

29 May 2013 7:00 AM, PDT | ioncinema | See recent ioncinema news »

1990’s Life is Sweet is generally considered – when it’s considered at all – one of the lesser lights in writer/director Mike Leigh’s constellation of films. The work’s underwhelming reputation was aided and abetted by the fact that for the last 20 years it’s been damn hard to see. With no official North American rental release, a purchase only, on demand DVD burn from Amazon has been the film’s only means of dissemination for much of the world. Fortunately, Criterion has stepped in to right this injustice with a gorgeous new Blu-ray edition, and life is once again sweet for the legions of Leigh.

In fact, Life is Sweet is the prototypical Mike Leigh film, embodying all that is right and good about the early phase of the director’s career. Before he branched into darker themes and period pieces, Leigh made his name with sharply observed »

Red 3 Moves Forward at Summit Entertainment

17 May 2013 4:28 PM, PDT | MovieWeb | See recent MovieWeb news »

Summit Entertainment is moving forward with plans to make Red 3, just two months before Red 2 debuts in theaters on July 19.

Red and Red 2 writers Jon Hoeber and Erich Hoeber have been hired to write the third installment, with Lorenzo di Bonaventura and Mark Vahradian producing through their Di Bonaventura Pictures company. No story details were given, although insiders claim that the sequel is moving forward largely thanks to the high test screening scores that Red 2 received.

There are no deals in place yet for cast members such as Bruce Willis, Mary-Louise Parker, John Malkovich, and Helen Mirren, who starred in both Red and Red 2. However, insiders claim that if the screenplay is approved, production may start as early as January 2014.

Red,which followed a group of retired CIA agents who get back into action, earned $90 million at the domestic box office in 2010, and nearly $200 million worldwide. »

Agent Coulson lives! What other dead characters would you revive for TV shows?

14 May 2013 1:13 PM, PDT | EW.com - PopWatch | See recent EW.com - PopWatch news »

ABC has officially ordered the Avengers spinoff Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. for its fall schedule. The show won’t actually feature too many characters from Avengers — with one rather notable exception. As Marvel godfather Joss Whedon announced many months ago, the show will feature the return of Clark Gregg’s Agent Phil Coulson. Of course, as we all know, Coulson appeared to die in The Avengers. And by “appeared to die” I mean “Yes, of course, they could have faked his death, but we saw blood running out of his mouth, and his death formed the emotional core of the film’s third act. »

The Best Never Rest In ‘Red 2′ Poster

13 May 2013 11:33 AM, PDT | The Hollywood News | See recent The Hollywood News news »

We’ve seen plenty of character posters for the upcoming sequel Red 2, but now we have a poster which gets the whole cast together for a classic walk-off. Original cast members Bruce Willis, Helen Mirren, John Malkovich, and Mary-Louise Parker are joined by new recruits Anthony Hopkins, Catherine Zeta-Jones, and Byung Hun Lee. Red 2 will hopefully be as surprisingly enjoyable as the first installment, which saw your slightly older movie stars proving they’ve still got it with both action and humour.

Red 2 is scheduled for release 2nd August 2013. It stars Bruce Willis, Helen Mirren, John Malkovich, Mary-Louise Parker, David Thewlis, Lee Byung Hyun, Catherine Zeta-Jones, Anthony Hopkins, and Neal McDonough.

Charlie Kaufman To Adapt Charlie Kaufman’s Play Anomalisa, Directed By Charlie Kaufman

13 May 2013 7:09 AM, PDT | We Got This Covered | See recent We Got This Covered news »

Living in the world of Charlie Kaufman, as we all do, everything is ultimately Charlie Kaufman – as if to prove this, Charlie Kaufman is to adapt the Charlie Kaufman play Anomalisa, written and directed by Charlie Kaufman. The play concerns Michael, a motivational speaker who experiences great success in motivating others while leading a completely worthless and pointless life himself.

Of the original cast, David Thewlis, Tom Noonan and Jennifer Jason Leigh will appear in the 50 minute film, scripted and co-directed by Charlie Kaufman alongside Duke Johnson. The film is notable for being financed entirely through crowdfunding platform Kickstarter, raising double the required budget of $200,000 (making $400,000, maths whizz) and ensuring great times for all. HanWay will be taking the film to Cannes, and Duke Johnson has promised to “bring a new style of animation to an audience for whom animated films are not usually made – adultineers,” whatever that means.

Charlie Kaufman To Co-Direct Animated 'Anomalisa,' Jennifer Jason Leigh & David Thewlis Among Voice Cast

13 May 2013 6:01 AM, PDT | The Playlist | See recent The Playlist news »

It's funny how the complaints subside if a Kickstarter project is taken on by someone you like. For example: last summer screenwriter/director Charlie Kaufman and former "Community" writer/producer Dan Harmon (two pretty successful guys in their own right) hit the crowdfunding site looking for backers to help get the stop-motion animated "Anomalisa" off the ground. And they certainly didn't face Zach Braff-ian levels of discontent and went on to quietly double their $200,000 goal. And with some cash already in hand, they're headed to Cannes hoping that the movie industry will now front the rest. Kaufman, who co-wrote the script based on his own play, will also co-direct the project (with Duke Johnson), which has since lined up Jennifer Jason Leigh, Tom Noonan and David Thewlis for voice roles, with Carter Burwell (the longtime Coen Brothers  collaborator who is also composing the music for the upcoming "August: Osage County") providing the score. »

New ‘Red 2′ Banner & Mary-Louise Parker Character Poster

28 April 2013 10:29 AM, PDT | The Hollywood News | See recent The Hollywood News news »

Action-comedy caper Red 2 will see most of the crew from Robert Schwentke’s adaptation of the cult graphic novel by Warren Eliis and Cully Hamner, return for more explosive mayhem. The sequel, directed by Dean Parisot, is once again led by Bruce Willis, whose former CIA operative Frank Moses is hoping for a quiet life alongside ditzy beauty Sarah Ross (Mary-Louise Parker). Unfortunately, a hit is put on his head leading him to band with his former colleagues including Helen Mirren, John Malkovich and newcomers Catherine Zeta-Jones, Byung-hun Lee and Anthony Hopkins to reap some payback.

Late last week we brought you a bunch of character posters, as well as the enjoyable new trailer. Now we have a brand new banner showcasing all the major players not forgetting Parker’s own character artwork.

Red 2 is slated for a Us release from the 19th July and the UK 2nd August. »
