Beatty 'doesn't want deposition filmed'
17 July 2009 2:06 PM, PDT | From Digitalspy | See recent digitalspy news
Warren Beatty has filed court documents forbidding cameras be allowed to document his Dick Tracy lawsuit. On Thursday, he entered an emergency motion in a Delaware court to ask that his July 23 deposition not be filmed. Beatty argued that the filming would be an invasion of his privacy, The AP reports. The actor, 72, is suing Tribune Media Services for $$30 million (£18.4 million) over (more)

Beatty Bids To Ban Cameras From Court
17 July 2009 5:16 AM, PDT | From wenn.com | See recent WENN news
Veteran star Warren Beatty filed papers on Thursday in a bid to ban cameras from his upcoming Dick Tracy court case.
Beatty is due in a Delaware, U.S. court on 23 July in an ongoing case with Tribune Media Services - a unit of bankrupt newspaper publisher Tribune - in relation to the ownership rights of the police detective character.
The company alleges Beatty "wrongly claims" to have exclusive motion picture and television rights to Dick Tracy - even though he bought the broadcast rights in 1985 and went on to act and direct the 1990 film of the same name, which also starred Madonna and Al Pacino.
Tribune Co. claims Beatty "made no productive use" of the rights for more than a decade and therefore they should revert back to Tribune as the franchise is potentially worth millions.
Beatty is set to appear in court later this month to fight the case - but he wants to make sure cameras are not allowed access.
His attorneys filed an emergency motion on Thursday asking the judge to prohibit the videotaping of the actor's deposition, arguing that videotaping is unnecessary and could result in a violation of his privacy.
Tribune has offered to negotiate a protective order restricting dissemination of any tape, but Beatty insists the order would be inadequate to prevent Internet distribution.
Dick Tracy style watch phone to launch next month
9 July 2009 4:18 AM, PDT | From Boxwish.com | See recent BoxWish news
The future of gadgets – ah, there’s a conversation we could happily have all day (and by ourselves if we had to). We rounded up ten top contenders for the best futuristic ones from the imaginative world of movies here and were intrigued by a poll which named the remote control from Click the public’s pick of the best fictional gadget. But it seems that one such gadget, previously thought only to exist in the fairytale realm of cinema, is soon to be part of our real world existence thanks to electronics giant LG. Introducing the world’s first touchscreen watch phone, just like that used by crime fighter Dick Tracy (played by Warren Beatty) in the 1990 comic book adaptation. “Calling Dick Tracy, calling Dick Tracy, do you read me Tracy?” We sure do!
The watch phone was first unveiled to the public at the CES convention in January

Beatty Likens Manson Murders To 'Nuclear Device'
3 July 2009 5:21 AM, PDT | From wenn.com | See recent WENN news
Warren Beatty was terrified when the notorious Charles Manson murders swept California in the 1960s - he compares the killing spree to a nuclear bomb attack.
Beatty was one of the A-listers who stumped up cash in a bid to try and hunt down the killers of his pal Roman Polanski's pregnant wife Sharon Tate, who was slaughtered at her Los Angeles home by members of the Manson clan in 1969.
The cult-like group, led by Manson, was also responsible for killing six other L.A. high-flyers, and Manson was later jailed for life.
And Beatty recalls how Hollywood went into meltdown as the murders mounted - comparing the killing spree to a "nuclear device" going off.
Speaking just weeks ahead of the grisly event's 40th anniversary next month, he tells Los Angeles magazine, "This hit the movie community very deeply. On the 10-point scale, it disturbed me at around a 27.
"They were friends of mine. It was something that happened, and no one knew why. Everybody was trying to come up with a reason.
"The collective response to these killings was what you might expect if a small nuclear device had gone off."
And Beatty believes some media handled the story badly by putting the blame on Polanski's controversial movies.
He adds, "In their rush to assess what had happened, some of the mainstream press brought the nature of Roman Polanski's movies into the nature of the crime and held the movies responsible.
"Roman was a total innocent. Neither his life nor his movies had anything to do with this. But because he'd made Repulsion and Rosemary's Baby, he was made to seem responsible."
Beatty Relives Manson Agony

Next month marks the 40th anniversary of the notorious Charles Manson murder spree that terrified Los Angeles -- and Warren Beatty remembers the savagery like it was yesterday.
"This hit the movie community very deeply. On the 10-point scale, it disturbed me at around a 27," the Oscar-winning actor-director, who's wed to Annette Bening, recalls in this month's Los Angeles magazine.
Beatty was one of those who helped fund a $25,000 reward for the arrest and conviction of the killers of Roman Polanski's pregnant wife, Sharon Tate, hairdresser Jay Sebring,

Hollywood’s Most Beloved ‘Public Enemies’
2 July 2009 9:00 AM, PDT | From MTV Movies Blog | See recent MTV Movies Blog news
When a film like “Public Enemies” comes out, it seems awfully good to be a gangster. Sure, you spend your life dodging the authorities, but you spend it with the fastest cars, the most stylish clothes and the sexiest women.
Face it, ladies… we’re suckers for the bad boy – especially if he’s using some of those ill-gotten gains to buy expensive presents. If you’re looking for a few good gangsters to hang out after you’re done with Johnny Depp’s John Dillinger, look no further than these five.
Henry Hill in “Goodfellas”
“As far back as I can remember, I’ve always wanted to be a gangster.” Any list of top-line movie wiseguys has to begin with that quote. Henry Hill’s (Ray Liotta) rise through and fall from the Lucchese crime family is one of director Martin Scorsese’s crowning achievements. The first half of

Madonna Was Planning Surprise Appearance At Jackson Shows
26 June 2009 1:06 AM, PDT | From wenn.com | See recent WENN news
Madonna was making plans to take to the stage for a one-off performance with Michael Jackson at his 50-date London residency - and hasn't been able to stop crying since his death.
Despite a reportedly frosty relationship, following a planned duet that never materialised, Madonna was desperate to join the late King of Pop onstage at the 02 Arena in London.
The dates were due to start in July and Madonna was all set to be a special guest, according to her manager Guy Oseary.
In a post on his Twitter.com blog, Oseary says, "A month ago Madonna told me she wanted to do a surprise performance at one of Michael Jackson's U.K. shows."
Jackson was pronounced dead at Los Angeles' UCLA Medical Center on Thursday after suffering a fatal heart attack.
And Madonna has spoken out of her own personal grief after hearing of her most famous contemporary's demise - admitting she is devastated by Jackson's sudden death.
She says, "I can't stop crying over the sad news. I have always admired Michael Jackson. The world has lost one of the greats, but his music will live on forever! My heart goes out to his three children and other members of his family. God bless."
The Material Girl, who is the same age as 50-year-old Jackson, became the female equivalent of the Thriller superstar as they were propelled to phenomenal levels of fame in the 1980s.
The pair accompanied each other to the 1991 Oscars, with Madonna dressed in full Marilyn Monroe mode, famously leading a less-confident Jackson down the red carpet.
Rumours even suggested the pop supercouple was an item, but Madonna killed that story by romancing Warren Beatty.

Actress Pell James
Pell James Takes A Hot Rod To The Dark Side In Surveillance
By
Virginia native Pell James hit the ground running following graduation from Nyu’s drama school in 1999, mixing TV and stage work, then landing her first high-profile part in 2005’s The King, co-starring with Gael Garcia Bernal and William Hurt. Since then, James also made impressive turns in Jim Jarmusch’s Broken Flowers and David Fincher’s Zodiac, in one of the film’s most unsettling scenes, as one of the notorious Bay area killer’s victims.
Pell James shines in an entirely new light as Bobbi, a drug-addicted drifter who comes face-to-face with evil incarnate in Jennifer Lynch’s Surveillance, a smashingly original thriller hitting theaters June 26 from Magnet Releasing. She also appears in Shrink, a tableaux-like satire of life in L.A., starring Kevin Spacey, which arrives from Lions Gate on

How to Make Indiana Jones V; Dazed and Confused Update
22 June 2009 10:17 AM, PDT | From Vanity Fair | See recent Vanity Fair news
It’s Alive! Indy Five Frank Marshall, who was probably the most whip-cracking producer on the set of Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull, tells British movie rag Empire that the team is gearing up to make a fifth installment in the cliffhanger series. This bit of news is nicely in keeping with a bloggy hunch that appeared on this site about a year and a half ago. Marshall says no script is in place — but, I ask you, when has that ever stopped a real man from making a motion picture? Now the fans can start moaning. To you and me and Chester down the block, the whole Indiana Jones series is not much more than a pleasant way to spend some time in a dark theater with a monster bucket of popcorn giving you a salty lapdance as you drink in some chases and maybe

Douglas Handed AFI Honour
13 June 2009 7:10 AM, PDT | From wenn.com | See recent WENN news
Michael Douglas has been honoured with a Life Achievement Award from the American Film Institute in a star-studded ceremony in California.
The Fatal Attraction actor was presented with the prize at Sony Studios, in Culver City, California on Thursday night.
Stars including Sharon Stone, Annette Bening, and Warren Beatty were on hand to see Jack Nicholson hand Douglas the 37th annual award.
The ceremony included tributes from his father Kirk Douglas, who received the same award in 1991, and wife Catherine Zeta-Jones, who took to the stage with a troupe of dancers to perform a routine from her hit film Chicago. The night also boasted a surprise musical appearance from folk legend Bob Dylan.
Kirk Douglas subsequently took to his Internet blog to relive the evening's events.
He writes on his MySpace.com blog, "This is the first time that a father and son have both received the Lifetime Achievement Award. I have mixed feelings, am I not too young to have a son receive the Lifetime Achievement Award? Nevertheless, it was a wonderful evening and they showed clips of most of Michael's pictures. I didn't realise Michael's versatility. It was a nice nostalgic evening."

David Carradine
6 June 2009 3:52 PM, PDT | From The Wrap | See recent The Wrap news
In 2002, Quentin Tarantino contacted David Carradine and asked him to be in his new film, “Kill Bill.” The director had been working on the film for a year, and had been wooing Warren Beatty for the title role. But close to the start of filming, the director fell out of love with his star, who he’d encouraged to model after Carradine in his ‘Kung Fu’ movies. Beatty made the mistake of suggesting that Tarantino ask Carradine to do the part. So he did. Carradine wrote an account of his experience on 'Kill Bill,' from which this is excerpted. The actor died in Thailand at age 72 in June 2009.

David Carradine

And apparently by his own hands, too, though earlier details are still somewhat confusing. David Carradine (1936-2009), television star and sometime film actor was found dead in his hotel room in Thailand where he was filming a movie called Stretch (no IMDb page... must have been a fresh or under the radar project).
As a young child I was obsessed with Kung Fu reruns so I logged a lot of hours with Carradine well before I knew enough to be offended by the implications of the odd but then common Hollywood practice of casting white people in ethnic roles. Carradine was recently quite good in Kill Bill Vol. 2 (I wanted him to get an Oscar nomination) The role was originally offered to Warren Beatty but some reports claim it was always written for Carradine. I've never quite believed that given that Tarantino can get any actor to work with him

Weapons of Mass Distraction
25 May 2009 10:28 AM, PDT | From Huffington Post | See recent Huffington Post news
Larry Gelbart, writer of M*A*S*H and Tootsie, wrote an HBO movie called Weapons of Mass Distraction. The title is one of the best things about it. Mass distractions distract everyone from thinking about war, help us stop thinking about Dick Cheney or the share price of At&T. Mass distractions help keep us focused on which guy with sticky hair will win "American Idol" and encourage us to become hypnotized by Britney Spears, a mentally unstable hillbilly. I'm not coming at this from a cultural mountaintop. I'm a veteran of E! Entertainment Television, have produced bio-docs on Arnold Schwarzenegger and Warren Beatty and have been doing pop culture movie segments for ReelzChannel. I'm in this pop culture thing really deep, ok? Lots of my colleagues in cable are doing great things melding pop culture with science. Exciting pop media is on the horizon...

No wonder Hollywood’s elite is obsessed with it. But are these outlandish, self-serving anecdotes about Barbra Streisand, Warren Beatty, Madonna, Michael Jackson, Sumner Redstone, and other aging A-listers true?

$100 Million. No Questions Asked.
26 April 2009 6:47 PM, PDT | From FilmExperience | See recent FilmExperience news
Twitch asked a great question on Friday that has been dancing around in my head naked all day: which auteur would you like to see handed a huge pile of money ($100 mil') and complete freedom to make whatever the hell kind of picture they wanted to make with it? Our pal Ja answered (always worth a read) and I should, too.
My five.
Jonathan Glazer. Birth and Sexy Beast are both so well directed and imagined with limited budgets. They're also the kind of features that scream 'this director will have trouble getting his films financed!' Imagine how pissed the cinephiles of 2050 are going to be if his feature career ends with Birth, only his second, a movie that will undoubtedly be revered by then.
Terry Gilliam. He makes every list like this... and that's out of more than pity. Even when he doesn't have a lot of money,
