Red Dawn's Josh Peck Up For Al Pacino Dramedy Imagine
10 June 2013 3:43 PM, PDT | cinemablend.com | See recent Cinema Blend news »
As a writer, Dan Fogelman has contributed to the creation of movies like Disney's Tangled, the romantic dramedy Crazy, Stupid, Love, and the upcoming over-the-hill comedy Last Vegas. But with Imagine, he's looking to make the leap from screenwriter to writer-director. The dramedy will mark his directorial debut, and already Fogelman has lined up an impressive cast that includes Al Pacino, Bobby Cannavale, Annette Bening, Michael Caine, and Jennifer Garner. And with the production's start date drawing near fast, the casting of smaller roles are currently being negotiated. The Wrap reports Josh Peck, who last year co-starred opposite Chris Hemsworth and Josh Hutcherson in the forgettable remake Red Dawn, is currently in talks for a role that would give him some sweet screentime with national treasure and lovable ham Pacino. Inspired by real events, Imagine centers on Pacino's character, an aging musician who is prompted by an old letter from »

10 Ugly Results of Co-Star Reuniting
6 June 2013 7:00 AM, PDT | NextMovie | See recent NextMovie news »
For all their talent and good looks, Vince Vaughn and Owen Wilson are no Paul Newman and Robert Redford. While those two struck gold twice in a row with "Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid" (1969) and "The Sting" (1973), Vaughn and Wilson have followed up "Wedding Crashers" with "The Internship," the kind of film that should serve as grounds for divorce.
But Vaughn & Wilson aren't the only dynamic duo to strike out their second (or third) time at bat. Here are ten winning combinations that couldn't leave well enough alone.
10. Jack Lemmon and Shirley MacLaine
First: "The Apartment" (1960)
Then: "Irma La Douce" (1963)
Under the guidance of director Billy Wilder, Jack Lemmon and Shirley MacLaine starred in "The Apartment," one of the best films to ever win the Oscar for Best Picture. So when that same trio reunited three years later for "Irma La Douce," you'd expect the same kind of magic, »

The Grifters: Be Careful What You Wear
5 June 2013 10:46 PM, PDT | Clothes on Film | See recent Clothes on Film news »
Neo-noir is an unusual genre from a costume perspective because although rooted in reality it is generally not specific to one era or setting. This means a variety of influences fill the screen incorporating past, present and future suggesting a particular story could be told anywhere at any time. Yet with noir’s literary and cinematic heyday belonging to 1940s, certain period details are necessary in order to satisfy that vital element of the genre and its all subsidiaries: atmosphere.
The Grifters (1990, directed by Stephen Frears) is about as bleak as noir gets. Its central characters are shysters; they live on the wrong side of the law, fleece the innocent and, like addicts, remain locked in a cycle of risk and repeat, trapped by the thrill of the grift. The film is set in contemporary Los Angeles with familiar genre nods to the past, anywhere from the thirties to eighties, »

Belated Birthday Flowers: Carey, Annette, Helena

Belated Birthday May Flowers ~ Andrew here.
It’s the end of May and with the end of the month comes the end of May Flowers (*tear*). This past week saw three significant birthdays pass by for The Film Experience – Helena Bonham Carter (May 26), Carey Mulligan (May 28) and Annette Bening (May 29). Although we didn’t carve out proper time at Tfe to fête each of them – a combined celebration of May Flowers will surely suffice. True, they’re all at different stages in their career but if there’s one thing that we at The Film Experience know it’s that actresses are the flowers in the garden of cinema and we just couldn’t survive if they stopped prospering. So, on with the celebration.
First up, Carey Mulligan...

Kristen Wiig stars as Imogene, a failed New York playwright awkwardly navigating the transition from Next Big Thing to Last Year's News.

Adding further insult to injury, there's a strange man sleeping in her old bedroom (Darren Criss) and an even stranger man sleeping in her mother's bed (Matt Dillon). Through it all, Imogene eventually realizes that as part of her rebuilding process she must finally come to love and accept both her family and her Jersey roots if she's ever going to be stable enough to get the hell away from them.

Kristen Wiig is no stranger to playing characters that are a bit of a mess.

Imogene finds herself in the custody of her wacky estranged mother (Annette Bening) and back to living at her mom’s house — which now has a few extra people in it, including Matt Dillon as the mom’s boyfriend as well as a cute »

29 May 2013 1:18 PM, PDT | Variety - Film News | See recent Variety - Film News news »
Brett Ratner — the producer-director who famously had to resign as Oscar host after making an anti-gay slur — apparently isn’t holding any grudges as he has donated $1 million to the Academy Museum of Motion Pictures.
“Brett has a sincere love of movies and film history, and we are excited to welcome him to our group of supporters,” said Bill Kramer, the museum’s managing director of development.
AMPAS has already raised more than half of the $300 million it needs to raise for the museum with a fundraising campaign chaired by Bob Iger and co-chaired by Annette Bening and Tom Hanks.
“I feel blessed to be part of such a magnificent museum. I was blown away by the recent Kubrick exhibit at Lacma, which the Academy co-sponsored. I couldn’t be more excited that our Academy will finally have its own museum that will preserve and exhibit cinema’s greatest work, »

IFC Goes On Cannes Buying Spree
16 May 2013 10:14 AM, PDT | Thompson on Hollywood | See recent Thompson on Hollywood news »
IFC Films is on a buying tear. While the company is usually scouring Cannes for new foreign titles, they're announcing various deals to acquire American independents on the Croisette as they prepare for the international debut of David Lowery's Sundance hit "Ain't Them Bodies Saints" in Critics Week on May 18. IFC obviously had been talking about acquiring U.S. rights from to Ari Posin's "The Face of Love" since its well-received SXSW debut (under the title "The Look of Love," the same title as the IFC Sundance pickup directed by Michael Winterbottom). The romantic mystery stars Annette Bening as a widow who falls hard for an art teacher (Ed Harris) who doesn't know that he happens to be a dead ringer for her late husband. Robin Williams, Jess Weixler and Amy Brenneman also star in the film produced by Bonnie Curtis and Julie Lynn at Mockingbird Pictures. IFC is planning a September 2013 release. »

IFC Films Has the Look... and Face... of Love
16 May 2013 | Comingsoon.net | See recent Comingsoon.net news »
It's not too uncommon for multiple movies to be floating around with the same name before someone blinks or decides to be nice to those setting up their queues on Netflix. It probably gets more attention in the world of the studio movies then it does in that of indies, but every once in a while, two movies crop up at the same time with the same name and start playing the Name Game. (For instance, who would have thought that there might be two movies called "Chef"?) Arie Posin finally got around to making his follow-up to The Chumscrubber last year with a movie called Look of Love , which stars Annette Bening, Robin Williams and Ed Harris,but nothing much seemed to be happening with it. Then back in January, the latest reunion of Michael Winterbottom and Steve Coogan »
