A Hologram for the King: Tom Hanks, currently starring on Broadway in Nora Ephron's play Lucky Guy, will finish his run on July 3, and then return to the movies.

Hollywood's latest craze: the over-40 female actor
11 June 2013 4:00 PM, PDT | The Guardian - Film News | See recent The Guardian - Film News news »
The film industry usually only has eyes for younger actresses, but a new report indicates that nine out of 10 top earners are over the age of 37
In 1962, a 21-year-old named Nora Ephron interviewed for a job at Newsweek. She said she wanted to be a writer. She was quickly assured that women did not become writers at Newsweek, and was offered a job sorting the mail for $55 a week. How things have changed.
In 1990, Ephron was Oscar-nominated for writing When Harry Met Sally. In it, Meg Ryan's Sally has an existential freak out. "And I'm gonna be Forty!" she wails. "When?" asks Billy Crystal's Harry, baffled. Through her sobs, she manages to articulate: "Some day!" For Sally, 40 is a bleak deadline, the end of all promise. How things have changed.
This week, the Hollywood Reporter magazine has run a cover story trumpeting the "revenge of the over-40 actress »

The Tony Awards featured emotional speeches from the actors who took home Broadway's biggest honor last night.

Tony Awards 2013: Neil Patrick Harris hosts what could be an unpredictable show
9 June 2013 3:00 PM, PDT | Zap2It - From Inside the Box | See recent Zap2It - From Inside the Box news »
The only sure shot going into the 67th Annual Tony Awards on Sunday (June 9) is Neil Patrick Harris hosting for a fourth time.
"He understands Broadway and television, and Broadway and television come together one time a year," says Glenn Weiss, director and co-producer of the Tonys.
Though Harris was suspended upside down when "Spider-Man: Turn Off the Dark" was a contender in 2012, he's not going to pull similar stunts this time.
"I never find it a successful move when an awards show host dons different ridiculous outfits," Harris tells Zap2it. "As a viewer, I never feel it is funny, and I just think it is difficult for the host. It is a lot of work for not a lot of accolades. You end up with silly pictures of yourself in the trades.
"The job of hosting an awards show like the Tonys is to be the ringmaster and barker, »

What To Expect At The Tonys
9 June 2013 11:46 AM, PDT | Huffington Post | See recent Huffington Post news »
New York — Talented children and high-energy musical performances will be on tap Sunday night as the Tony Awards kick off, capping a season that hasn't produced a runaway favorite show and only one starry celebrity nomination in Tom Hanks.
The Tonys will be broadcast live Sunday by CBS from the cavernous Radio City Music Hall, a homecoming of sorts after two years in a much smaller theater on Manhattan's Upper West Side.
Neil Patrick Harris is back for his fourth turn as host and the formula seems locked in: A big, splashy opening number followed by performances by the musical nominees and a crush of big awards at the end. Likely targets for humor this year will be Mike Tyson, the ex-boxer who showed up with a one-man show this season, and Shia Labeouf, who left a revival of "Orphans" before the show opened and then tweeted about it.

It's curtains for the 67th annual Tony Awards, honoring the best of Broadway and a smattering of boldfaced names, from Tom Hanks to Cyndi Lauper to the late Nora Ephron. Hanks, widely predicted to win his first Tony as best lead actor in Ephron's play Lucky Guy, was trounced in the category by the venerable Tracy Letts, who snagged the trophy for the revival of Who’s Afraid of Virginia Woolf? Meanwhile, Lauper's Kinky Boots took home the prize for best musical, with Lauper also winning best score for composing the music & lyrics. Cicely Tyson landed a best-actress Tony for her

"It's kind of an unusual year in that it appears to be an actual race...there's no clear front-runner. Like in the year of 'The Book of Mormon' or the year of 'The Producers,' it was sort of clear that they were the one and only front-runners," said Gordon Cox of Variety. "This year, I think going into the season a lot of people thought 'Matilda' given the strength and critical praise for it would »
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, »

Theatre World Award Winners Celebrate Broadway and Off-Broadway Debuts
4 June 2013 11:15 AM, PDT | backstage.com | See recent Backstage news »
Tom Hanks might have two Oscars and A-list celebrity status, but he had never performed on a Broadway stage until this year. "Can you be an actor in this world and not want to make a Broadway debut?" Hanks asked at the 69th annual Theatre World Awards on Monday night, where he was honored for his performance in Nora Ephron's "Lucky Guy." In a moving acceptance speech, Hanks spoke sincerely about how he and his friends called themselves "crap-hurdlers" in college, and how all he ever hoped as an actor was to be paid $50 a week—or a little bit more. "Boy, I wish someone had leaned over in 1977 and said, 'You're going to be Ok,' " he reflected. Hanks was one of 12 performers celebrated the Music Box Theatre for enjoying their Broadway or Off-Broadway debuts this season. "I was really good at being in the ensemble," said an emotional Ruthie Ann Miles, »

Despite a Broadway season that saw a 6-percent dip in attendance, theater fans still have cause for celebration at this Sunday’s Tony Awards. There’s a contest heating up for Best Musical, pitting the “revolting” children of Matilda against the fabulous drag queens of Kinky Boots.
And there’s some real suspense in other major categories: Will two-time Oscar winner Tom Hanks (above) add a Tony to his mantel for his Broadway debut in Lucky Guy? Will former Who’s the Boss star Judith Light win back-to-back Tonys in Best Featured Actress in a Play? EW critics Melissa Rose »

Academy Award-winning Visual Effects artists Alec Gillis and Tom Woodruff, Jr., co-founders of Studio Adi (Amalgamated Dynamics, Inc.) have launched a Kickstarter campaign to bring their science fiction/horror film celebrating animatronics and makeup FX, “Harbinger Down,” to the silver screen. Gillis and Woodruff hope fans are excited to help not only make a new horror classic, but also to uplift an art form. The filmmakers’ goal is to raise $350,000 from fan support via the Kickstarter campaign by June 7, 2013 to get the project off the ground.
Harbinger Down, set to star notable sci-fi and horror film actor Lance Henriksen, depicts a group of grad students who have booked passage on the fishing trawler Harbinger to study the effects of global warming on a pod of Orcas in the Bering Sea. When the ship’s crew dredges up a recently thawed piece of old Soviet space wreckage, things quickly become deadly. »

Chastain, Johansson, Seyfried and Witherspoon chase the role of Hillary 'Rodham'
28 May 2013 12:30 PM, PDT | Hitfix | See recent Hitfix news »
One has to imagine that the role of Hillary Rodham Clinton in the developing biopic "Rodham" is a bit of a coveted one for the industry's top actresses. The project is already fascinating from the outside, stemming from a 2012 Black List script penned by Korean screenwriter Young Il Kim spear-headed by "The Twilight Saga" producers Wyck Godfrey and Marty Bowen with indie filmmaker James Pondsoldt on board to direct. When the casting news finally does hit, it will be just one more level of intrigue. Two years ago at the Kennedy Center Honors, the late Nora Ephron quipped of Meryl »

Be Awesome: Modern Life for Modern Ladies, by Hadley Freeman – review
19 May 2013 5:00 AM, PDT | The Guardian - Film News | See recent The Guardian - Film News news »
Hadley Freeman's memoir masquerading as a survival guide is fresh, witty and packs a serious punch
Anyone who professes to hate the Daily Mail while being addicted to its "sidebar of shame" (the celebrity-packed right-hand feed on its website) will feel very at home with this book. The Nora Ephron opening quote, "Be the heroine of your life not the victim", sums up the style and the theme.
Like Ephron's non-fiction books, it's a series of anecdotes dressed up as a survival guide: "Sex tips for smart ladies; Every dating guide you'll ever need; But do you like him?" It's packed with cultural references: Nancy Mitford, The Devil Wears Prada, Nina Simone, Miss Piggy, The Princess Bride. New York-born Freeman manages to get away with a lot: she can be both scathing and serious about being "awesome" in a way no British writer could.
Obviously this book is aimed firmly at fans of Caitlin Moran, »

Tom Hanks could bring 'Lucky Guy' to the London. The Oscar-winning star is currently discussing transferring the critically-acclaimed Nora Ephron Broadway play from New York City to the West End. But if the 56-year-old actor agrees to the transition and the show gets the go ahead, it won't be up and running until spring 2014 and will only be available for a limited amount of time, according to the Daily Mail newspaper. Hanks plays the lead role of controversial tabloid journalist Mike McAlary and covers the highs and lows of the career of the reporter, who won the Pulitzer Prize in 1998 for his coverage on the police brutalisation of Abner Louima and died from colon cancer later that »
When steroids enhanced Tom Hanks' performance
16 May 2013 12:49 PM, PDT | RealBollywood.com | See recent RealBollywood news »
Los Angeles, May 17: Hollywood actor Tom Hanks says he took steroids to cure cold while working in Nora Ephron's Broadway play "Lucky Guy".
The Oscar-winning actor admits the drug cured his inflamed throat quickly and that he even had the bonus of rejuvenating his performance because he felt so good.
"You take the steroid, and the only repercussion is you will not be in the hall of fame. But you do get back on that horse and you are on stage and you feel great," femalefirst.co.uk quoted Hanks as saying.
"I was on steroids for two performances, never felt better in my life, came off the show was tighter, it was quicker. I just blew through the performance feeling like a million bucks. I felt like I was 23 again,". »
