‘The Cove’ Producer Fisher Stevens to Direct ‘American Pastoral’
17 May 2012 11:59 AM, PDT | The Film Stage | See recent The Film Stage news »
As he’s currently shooting the Al Pacino, Alan Arkin, and Christopher Walken buddy comedy Stand Up Guys, a press release announces that Fisher Stevens — who, just a few years back, won an Oscar for producing the acclaimed documentary The Cove — will next helm an adaptation of the Pulitzer Prize-winning novel American Pastoral, which Lakeshore and Sidney Kimmel Entertainment are producing.
Originally written by Philip Roth — and adapted by John Romano (The Lincoln Lawyer) — the ’60s-set story follows Seymour “the Swede” Levov, an idealistic American do-gooder whose family is torn apart when his daughter, a rebellious girl, is arrested for illegal acts in protest of the Vietnam War. The moral quandaries created here sound right in line with Stevens‘ documentary, Crazy Love, or first narrative, Just a Kiss — and it’s in a period I’m wholly fascinated with, to boot. Let’s hope this one comes together with the right team. »

Director Randall Miller will pass the time until he can begin shooting his Aaron Eckhart-starring Dennis Wilson biopic with another story of rock 'n' roll and cult followings: Miller is currently prepping Cbgb, a biopic about the famous T-shirt, music festival, and all-purpose brand name that spent its formative years as a venue where bands played sometimes. The film will revolve around Alan Rickman as the late Hilly Kristal, the club's founder who maintained order during punk's heyday by being dryly imperious and vaguely threatening, and speaking with a slow, deliberate sarcasm that suggested he might at any »

Sometimes, schedules being shifted creates annoying delays for films we’ve been eagerly anticipating. But sometimes, it can also mean that filmmakers find time to slot in other interesting projects.

But with that movie’s production schedule now shifting to the autumn, the director is putting the Kristal project before cameras first.Rickman, who worked with the director on Bottle Shock, is set to play Kristal, the man who launched Cbgb in New York in the late 1970s, intending it as a venue for country, bluegrass and blues music.

What Family Drama Are ‘Rabbit Hole’ Team Nicole Kidman and David Lindsay-Abaire Taking On Next?
8 May 2012 4:00 PM, PDT | FilmSchoolRejects.com | See recent FilmSchoolRejects news »
Playwright-turned-screenwriter David Lindsay-Abaire quite memorably adapted his own Pulitzer prize-winning work for the Nicole Kidman and Aaron Eckhart-starring Rabbit Hole, an intense family drama directed by John Cameron Mitchell that centered on a couple attempting to recover from the sudden loss of their young son. The 2010 drama was one of the year’s best, thanks in no small part to Lindsay-Abaire’s script and Kidman’s powerful Oscar-nominated performance, so it’s certainly good news that the two are pairing up again for another film about a different sort of family and their own set of troubles. Deadline Douglaston reports that Lindsay-Abaire will adapt Kevin Wilson’s novel “The Family Fang” for the screen, with Kidman starring in and producing the project. The New York Times bestseller hit shelves last year, and it garnered a ton of critical praise – including find a place on end of the year top ten lists complied by “Time Magazine,” “Esquire »

Nicole Kidman and David Lindsay-Abaire Go Down ‘Rabbit Hole’ Again For ‘The Family Fang’
8 May 2012 12:07 PM, PDT | The Film Stage | See recent The Film Stage news »
One of the most overlooked dramas of the last few years is John Cameron Mitchell’s reserved, expertly acted Rabbit Hole. Starring Nicole Kidman and Aaron Eckhart, it’s no surprise the film didn’t exactly ignite the box office, with its dark subject matter. But now some of the talent involved with the film will get a second stab with a new project.
Deadline reports that Kidman will team once again with Rabbit writer David Lindsay-Abaire on an adaptation of Kevin Wilson‘s novel The Family Fang. Also producing, Kidman will star as a artist mother who puts her children through bizarre escapades only to have them return to home and blame starts getting thrown around.
After taking part in the atrocious Trespass last year, Kidman seems to be turning things around with roles in Lee Daniels’ The Paperboy, Park Chan-wook’s Stoker and more. This project sounds like »

DVD Review: ‘Young Goethe in Love’ Enchants With Bittersweet Romance
3 May 2012 6:37 AM, PDT | HollywoodChicago.com | See recent HollywoodChicago.com news »
Chicago – “Young Goethe in Love” is not the sort of title guaranteed to send American audiences to the theater in droves. For one thing, the title sounds too much like “Shakespeare in Love,” though its original German title, “Goethe!” sounds like a giddy musical along the lines of “Oliver!” Perhaps Goethe’s name should’ve been cut from the title altogether and relegated to a snappy tagline like, “Love Can Cometh and Goethe in an Instant.”
Thankfully, a poorly titled and under-marketed cinematic gem can find the audience it deserves with the help of good critical buzz, and here’s hoping that will happen to Philipp Stölzl’s irresistible 2010 period romance upon its DVD realease. The future master of Weimer Classicism was a mere 23-year-old when he first penned 1774’s “The Sorrows of Young Werner,” which heavily influenced the subsequent Romantic literary movement, as well as inspire a wave of »

'V/H/S/' Directors In Talks For Found Footage Frankenstein Movie 'The Reawakening'
25 April 2012 4:00 PM, PDT | Movies.com | See recent Movies.com news »
There's already a full slate of Frankenstein films in various stages of development in Hollywood, but apparently that's not stopping new projects from leaping onto the crowded pile. Fox and Universal each have their own versions in the works, but Lionsgate is out to top both of them with the revelation they've got a second Frankenstein film in the works. The first is I, Frankenstein (see a picture of star Aaron Eckhart as the monster here), and it's now joined by The Reawakening. The collective creative quartet known as Radio Silence are in talks to direct the film, written by Luke Dawson (the American remake of Shutter) and being described by Vulture as "equal parts Flatliners and Frankenstein." That's really all they say about the project...

[Media] - "I, Frankenstein" - The First Photo of Aaron Eckhart
25 April 2012 5:07 AM, PDT | www.ohmygore.com/ | See recent OhMyGore news »
The very first photo from the Victoria, Australia set of Stuart Beattie's "I, Frankenstein" is now online, courtesy of photographer Pablo Hassan, who captured Aaron Eckhart in full makeup as the creature, Adam. Also starring Socratis Otto, Yvonne Strahovski and Miranda Otto, the film tells the modern-day tale of Dr. Frankenstein's creature, who nearly centuries after his "birth", has found himself in a gothic city, caught up in a war between two immortal clans. Though based on the comic by Kevin Grevioux, leading man Aaron Eckhart recently explained to ComingSoon.net that Mary Shelley's original novel is where he's focusing his attention to build the character. "I, Frankenstein" hits theaters on February 22, 2013. »
“I, Frankenstein” Image and Footage
19 April 2012 4:36 PM, PDT | FamousMonsters of Filmland | See recent Famous Monsters of Filmland news »
Shock Till You Drop has uncovered an image of Aaron Eckhart as a modern day Frankenstein’s monster in the 2013 vehicle, I, Frankenstein. Eckhart is a stud and the concept of Frankenstein surviving to a dystopian present/future caught in the middle of a war is intriguing enough to warrant watching the news on this one, even with an unproven director at the helm (Stuart Beattie – sreenplays for Australia, 30 Days of Night). Though I have to say, Eckhart doesn’t look too monster-y. Below is footage of the set.

First Look: Aaron Eckhart in I, Frankenstein
19 April 2012 11:30 AM, PDT | Beyond Hollywood | See recent Beyond Hollywood news »
Check out your first look at Aaron Eckhart in full costume on the set of “I, Frankenstein”, an adaptation of the comic book by “Underworld” guy Kevin Grevioux. Stuart Beattie (“Tomorrow, When The War Began”) is directing with the film set for 2013. No real spoilers, so feel free to indulge, indulgers. The film, one of many Frankenstein movies in the works as we speak, looks like it’s well ahead of all the other studio versions, and should get into theaters first. The plot of “I, Frankenstein” finds Victor Frankenstein’s monster the only thing that stands between our doom at the hands of supernatural forces. It co-stars Bill Nighy, Yvonne Strahovski, Jai Courtney, Miranda Otto, Caitlin Stasey, Deniz Akdeniz, Socratis Otto, Chris Pang, and Virginie Le Brun. And here’s a behind-the-scenes shooting of the film »
