Shall we gather at the river?
11 hours ago | blogs.suntimes.com/ebert | See recent Roger Ebert's Blog news »
The first time I saw him, he was striding toward me out of the burning Georgia sun, as helicopters landed behind him. His face was tanned a deep brown. He was wearing a combat helmet, an ammo belt, carrying a rifle, had a canteen on his hip, stood six feet four inches. He stuck out his hand and said, "John Wayne." That was not necessary.
Wayne died on June 11, 1979. Stomach cancer. "The Big C," he called it. He had lived for quite a while on one lung, and then the Big C came back. He was near death and he knew it when he walked out on stage at the 1979 Academy Awards to present Best Picture to "The Deer Hunter," a film he wouldn't have made. He looked frail, but he planted himself there and sounded like John Wayne.
John Wayne. When I was a kid, we said it as one word: Johnwayne. »

Lionsgate Acquire UK Rights to Blood Ties with Clive Owen, Marion Cotillard & Mila Kunis
17 May 2012 10:00 AM, PDT | HeyUGuys.co.uk | See recent HeyUGuys news »
Guillame Canet (Tell No One) returns behind the camera with Blood Ties, starring Clive Owen, Billy Crudup, Marion Cotillard, and Mila Kunis.
The 1970s-set film is in production at the moment, and has been picked up on the market at Cannes by Lionsgate, who will distribute the film here in the UK.
Also starring Zoe Saldana, James Caan, and Noah Emmerich, the film is an adaptation of the original French novel, Les liens du sang, written by Bruno and Michel Papet – which was itself adapted back in 2008 for the French film of the same name (known as Rivals in the UK), in which Canet, also an actor, starred in the co-leading role that Crudup will now play.

Clive Owen & Mila Kunis Go Retro In Set Photos For Guillaume Canet's 'Blood Ties'
14 May 2012 8:02 AM, PDT | The Playlist | See recent The Playlist news »
Some sort of '70s themed fashion photoshoot featuring Clive Owen and Mila Kunis? Not quite. The duo are actually spotted here complete with sideburns and bell-bottoms shooting Guillaume Canet's highly anticipated period crime pic/family drama "Blood Ties."
A remake of 2008 French thriller "Les Liens Du Sang" which Canet starred in, the James Gray co-scripted story is set off as the younger of two brothers (Crudup) is asked by his older brother (Owen) to return to the underworld in order to help the family out. Kunis plays the older brother's partner while Cotillard couples up with Crudup.
As promising as the leading quartet and helmer are, the rest of the cast Canet has assembled is equally impressive with Zoe Saldana, James Caan, Noah Emmerich, Matthias Schoenaerts, Lili Taylor and Domenick Lombardozzi making up the director's English-language debut. It doesn't end there either with Jamie Hector ("The Wire"), Angelica »

At Least It’s Not A Reboot: Godfather Prequel Set Loose Upon Bookshelves Amid Legal Tussle
14 May 2012 5:49 AM, PDT | Boomtron | See recent Boomtron news »
It’s called The Family Corleone, and it’s been out since May 8th, a fact which makes the following legal squabble a little redundant as, really, who cares? The book is out, read it if you want; wait for the inevitable movie, if you can’t be bothered.
Written by Ed Falco, based on a “screenplay” by original Godfather author Mario Puzo (if the cover copy is to be believed), The Family Corleone is a prequel to the bestselling book and all-time classic movie. Set in the 1930s, it appears to centre around the relationship between Vito Corleone and his young children, especially hot-headed Sonny Corleone (played by James Caan in the movie), about whom Vito is quite concerned.
So where was the beef?
On Paramount’s plate.
According to the film studio, the book “tarnished the legacy” of the films (insert your own cruel Godfather III joke here) and sued Puzo’s estate. »

Horror's Top 10 Most Frightening Women
11 May 2012 1:57 AM, PDT | DreadCentral.com | See recent Dread Central news »
With the upcoming release of the creepy Hammer film The Woman in Black on DVD May 22nd, we thought it would be a good time to look back at some of our favorite frightening women from horror films of the past. Believe me; these aren't your average scream queens. These women bite back...hard!
To prime the proverbial pump, we have some honorable mentions for those who just missed the list. Who wasn't creeped out by Cécile De France in Haute Tension (High Tension) or Isabelle Fuhrman in Orphan. I remember looking through my fingers at the woman-thing at the end of [Rec], and Rebecca De Mornay was simply cold-blooded in The Hand that Rocks the Cradle. Rie Ino'o gave us an iconic image in Ring, which Daveigh Chase duplicated in the American remake. And Lina Leandersson was eerie as Ellie in Lat den ratte komma in (Let the Right One In). Hell, »

Tmp's Summer 2012 Movie Guide: June
1 May 2012 8:51 PM, PDT | The Movie Pool | See recent The Movie Pool news »
Honestly, if I was forced to judge Summer 2012 at first glance, I would say it was pretty weak. Compared to 2011 and 2010, there's just not as many movies to look forward to. While it seems easy to write off this Summer as a dud, I have three reasons why it might actually be awesome; The Dark Knight Rises, The Avengers, and Prometheus. Honestly, that's all Summer 2012 needs in order to be one for the history books. Even then, there's still more than enough films to warrant your attention this summer. To help you sort through them all, we've once again compiled all the most interesting films of the season into four easy to read, informative guides. For the next four days, we'll take you on a journey through the best cinema has to offer in Summer 2012. Welcome to our Summer 2012 Movie Guide! Today, we will focus on June 2012, one of the biggest months of the year. »

‘Harry Potter’ Screenwriter Steve Kloves Swings To Live-Action ‘Jungle Book’ For WB
27 April 2012 12:29 PM, PDT | The Film Stage | See recent The Film Stage news »
We’re going back to the bare necessities, as a new live-action adaptation of Rudyard Kipling’s classic is in the works at Warner Bros. Variety is now reporting the man who will oversee the script and the actual production and it’s one of the studio’s favorite people.
After bringing in billions of dollars for the Harry Potter saga, Steve Kloves has been set to write and direct this new version about the young boy Mowgli and his adventures with the wild animals of the jungle. Kloves has recently worked on the now-shelved Akira as well as Sony’s upcoming The Amazing Spider-Man, but my personal favorite of his is still Wonder Boys. He hasn’t directed a film in nearly two decades, since the drama Flesh and Bone, which starring Dennis Quaid, James Caan and Gwyneth Paltrow.

Lego Movie coming February 2014
24 April 2012 10:30 AM, PDT | GeekTyrant | See recent GeekTyrant news »
Phil Lord and Chris Miller began their film career in 2009 with the animated children's book adapation, Cloudy with a Chance of Meatballs. The film, featuring the voices of Bill Hader, Anna Faris, Bruce Campbell, James Caan, Andy Samberg, Mr. T and Neil Patrick Harris, was a huge hit with $243 million at the box office. This year, they made their live-action directorial debut with 21 Jump Street, based on the television show, and it starred Channing Tatum and Jonah Hill. Unlike Cloudy, it was more for teens and adults. The film was also a hit with $166 million. Now, Lord and Miller are returning to children's entertainment with none other than Lego.
Yes, a film about LEGOs is being made from the directors of 21 Jump Street and Cloudy with a Chance of Meatballs. To me, this is a good thing. At least they're funny and they don't pull punches with their humor when »

'That's My Boy' A 'Throwback' To Early Adam Sandler

'Adam Sandler has always been one of my comedy idols, so to get to work with him was really fun,' Will Forte tells MTV News.

No matter what you thought about Adam Sandler's last few zany comedies, there are more than a few reasons to be excited about his next release, "That's My Boy."
First, it's Sandler's first-ever R-rated comedy. Second, it features a cast of former and current "SNL" players like Andy Samberg and Will Forte, as well as James Caan and Vanilla Ice. And third, the outrageous plot revolves around a deadbeat father (Sandler) who attempts to reconnect with his long-lost son (Samberg) on the week of his wedding.
MTV News recently caught up with funnyman Forte to find out all about the on-set antics, Sandler's genius abilities in the art of swearing, »
The top 50 sci-fi movie protagonists
19 April 2012 8:55 AM, PDT | Den of Geek | See recent Den of Geek news »
Whether they’re male or female, old or young, they’ve illuminated some classic movies. Here’s our top 50 list of sci-fi heroes and heroines…
On the face of it, compiling a list of truly great sci-fi protagonists should be easy. Pick a load of familiar names from a hat, write some breathlessly adoring drivel beneath them, and head off to the pub to reward a job well done.
Except it was never going to be as simple as that – and compiling lists seldom is. For every character making an appearance in the list below, there were at least two other possible candidates who didn't quite make the cut. Some sci-fi heroes were removed, then quickly reinstated. The order was jiggled around, then reordered again.
At one point, your humble writer realised there were more than 50 entries, and then had the unenviable task of hunting back through to decide which poor soul to eliminate. »

It’s Ladies’ Night at the Complex.
We’ve covered a pretty broad spectrum of shady characters over the past few months around here, but with Mother’s Day coming up in a few weeks, we felt it entirely appropriate to tip our collective hats to all the wonderful women that keep us under a thin layer of sweat. Presenting the ten meanest, craziest, and most scandalous chicks to ever set the screen on fire.
Alert: Spoilers abound.
10. Joan Crawford (Faye Dunaway, Mommie Dearest, 1981)
Mean broads aren’t all fictional. Believe it or not, there are real live firebreathing witches that walk the very terra firma upon which you stand. So tread lightly, my friend.
Joan Crawford’s reputation as a mean old bag was no secret in 1981 when Mommie Dearest hit the screen. However, it took Faye Dunaway channeling her maniacal soul to really get the message across to the movie-going public. »

‘The Wire’ Actor Domenick Lombardozzi and Lili Taylor Join ‘Blood Ties’; ‘Bullhead’ Star Matthias Schoenaerts Confirmed
16 April 2012 11:18 AM, PDT | The Film Stage | See recent The Film Stage news »
As Variety reports that Worldview Entertainment will come in and finance Guillaume Canet‘s Blood Ties, we’ve also learned that a few new names have been added to this terrific lineup. While Matthias Schoenaerts (Bullhead) has been confirmed — following some rumors that the Belgian was up for consideration — it’s said that Lili Taylor and Domenick Lombardozzi (The Wire) will jump right into the fray.
Canet co-wrote the ’70s-set Blood Ties with James Gray — the both of them having, at the same time, adapted a French novel, Les Liens Du Sang — which centers on “a younger brother (Billy Crudup) who has to ask his convict older brother (Clive Owen) to go back into the underworld to help out the family.” Mila Kunis, James Caan, Marion Cotillard, Zoe Saldana, and Noah Emmerich fill out the cast as lovers, fathers, and shady figures. (None are all three, fortunately.)

Lili Taylor & 'The Wire' Star Domenick Lombardozzi Join 'Blood Ties'; 'Bullhead' & 'Rust & Bone' Star Matthias Schoenaerts Confirmed
16 April 2012 7:41 AM, PDT | The Playlist | See recent The Playlist news »
Despite a fairly illustrious acting and directorial career back home, Gallic actor-writer-director Guillaume Canet is probably better known stateside simply as the partner of Marion Cotillard, even after the international success of his taut-thriller "Tell No One." That is all likely to change very soon, however, with Canet set to tackle his English-language debut, "Blood Ties."
The project is set to begin lensing at the end of this month with indie-scene regular Lili Taylor and "The Wire" star Domenick Lombardozzi now rounding out the films cast while Belgian actor Matthias Schoenaerts (star of Oscar nominated "Bullhead" and Jacques Audiard's upcoming "Rust & Bone" opposite Cotillard) is confirmed as well.
Co-scripted by Canet and James Gray, the '70's New York-set story follows two brothers, on either side of the law, who face off over organized crime in Brooklyn and is loosely based on Jacques Maillot's 2008 film "Rivals," which itself starred Canet. »

Poster for 'That's My Boy' with Adam Sandler and Andy Samberg
9 April 2012 8:52 PM, PDT | Rope of Silicon | See recent Rope Of Silicon news »
Is it at all possible That's My Boy will offer up an Adam Sandler movie we can all appreciate? I don't like to use MPAA ratings to search for what may or may not be quality material, but the R-rating for "crude sexual content throughout, nudity, pervasive language and some drug use" tells me one thing... this isn't Jack and Jill or Grown-Ups. At the very least there's no holding back. However, I still have one major concern and it's evident right there on the front of the film's poster... Sandler is playing some drunken fool who shows up on the eve of his son's, Donny (Andy Samberg), wedding hoping to make up for lost time. I'm sure he'll be an embarassment, be yelled at by Donny in some form of "I hate you speech", come to grips with who he is, reconnect with his son and they'll live happily ever after, »

5 Things You May Not Know About The 'The Godfather Part II'
9 April 2012 10:00 AM, PDT | The Playlist | See recent The Playlist news »
A sprawling three-hour-and-twenty-minute American epic crime film, what can you say about Francis Ford Coppola’s “The Godfather Part II” that hasn’t already been said? Nominated for eleven Academy Awards and winning six, including Best Picture, Best Director and Best Actor in a Supporting Role for Robert De Niro, “The Godfather Part II” was met with tremendous critical acclaim with many proclaiming it had outdone its predecessor. Award-wise, it had. The original had also bagged eleven nominations, but won only three.
This weekend, as we just mentioned in our piece about Coppola’s “The Conversation,” marked the 73rd birthday of the famed director, and yesterday on April 8th, the anniversary of “The Godfather Part II” winning the Academy Award for Best Picture. Curiously enough, while many consider 'Part II' superior, box-office-wise the 3 hour 20 minute running time was audience prohibitive, and the film only grossed $47 million domestically, as opposed to »
