'Smash' Cast Sounds Off On Shake-Up
23 May 2012 9:08 AM, PDT | Aol TV. | See recent Aol TV. news »
"Smash" Season 2 will look very different (that's pretty much a good thing) and several cast members have taken to Twitter to react to the shake-up.
Raza Jaffrey (Dev), Jaime Cepero (Ellis), Brian d'Arcy James (Frank) and Will Chase (Michael Swift) are exiting stage left for Season 2. The departures come as former "Gossip Girl" executive producer Josh Safran takes control of the series from outgoing creator/showrunner Theresa Rebeck.
Some of the cast took to Twitter to respond to the big changes.
Karen will always love Dev...or at least this Kat will always love @RazaJaffrey ! I will miss you! Can't wait to see you back in NY!
— Katharine McPhee(@katharinemcphee) May 23, 2012

'Smash' Cast Shake-Up For Season 2
22 May 2012 3:06 PM, PDT | Huffington Post | See recent Huffington Post news »
The cast of "Smash" Season 2 will look a bit different. According to EW, Ellis (Jaime Cepero) and Dev (Raza Jaffrey) will be written out of the show as part of the creative overhaul.
A source close to the series confirmed to The Huffington Post that both characters could appear in Season 2 to wrap-up their storylines.
Update: According to The Hollywood Reporter, Brian d'Arcy James and Will Chase are also leaving the series. Chase played Michael Swift, the leading man of the show's fictional musical and one-time lover to Debra Messing's Julia. James played Frank, Julia's husband.
Season 1 of "Smash" ended with Eileen (Anjelica Huston) firing Ellis before Karen Cartwright (Katharine McPhee) took the stage as Marilyn Monroe in the Boston previews of the fictional musical "Bombshell."
Meanwhile, Karen learned of Dev's affair with Ivy (Megan Hilty) ... just episode after he proposed to Karen. While Karen was belting out »

Smash: The Broadway Musical World Comes to Network Television
22 May 2012 2:47 PM, PDT | www.culturecatch.com | See recent CultureCatch news »
I probably speak for most theater fans in saying I was excited when I read about Smash before its premiere on NBC in February. The idea of a weekly network series depicting the development of a new Broadway musical was irresistible. The fact that so many theater people -- both on and off camera -- were involved in the show added to the anticipation. Executive producers included Craig Zadan and Neil Meron who, among other things, have produced film versions of Broadway hits Chicago and Hairspray, along with television movie adaptations of The Music Man, Annie, and Gypsy. Original songs were written by the team of Marc Shaiman and Scott Wittman, who won the Tony award for their Hairspray score, and also wrote the fine score for last year's Catch Me If You Can. Michael Mayer (Spring Awakening and American Idiot) directed the pilot. And, while not a theater name, »

Monologue: Annette Bening. Still on the Grift.
21 May 2012 7:41 PM, PDT | FilmExperience | See recent FilmExperience news »
1990 was the year in which I saw the least amount of movies in theaters. I was overseas and when I returned I devoured everything. I don't recommend missing an entire year of cinema but I also can't deny that it's fun to catch up in massive marathons. My favorite shiny new plaything that year turned out to be Annette Bening. She had appeared in two movies before her breakthrough (The Great Outdoors and Valmont, the latter of which was barely released) but I wasn't familiar with her. In 1990 she ascended. She swiped a scene wholesale from Meryl Streep in Postcards from the Edge (in a way we didn't see again for another 18 years when Viola Davis rationalized away her son in Doubt) and sparkled and teased as Myra Langtry in The Grifters. She deservedly won her first Oscar nomination but the bid was doomed. "You in danger, girl" Ghost was »

Stockard Channing Would Love to Be on Smash
21 May 2012 9:00 AM, PDT | Vulture | See recent Vulture news »
Smash's second season is still but a glimmer in NBC's eye: The show won't be back until spring, and when it returns, it'll be under the stewardship of a new showrunner Josh Safran. And maybe with a new guest star or two? Vulture staked out Smash's future at the Drama League Awards gala last night and caught up with some of the show's current — and maybe future — players.Michael Cristofer, who plays Anjelica Huston's estranged husband Jerry on the show, told Vulture he's pulling for a Stockard Channing guest arc. "We're all at a certain age now where we end up being someone's mother or father, but maybe she could be this mammoth lesbian producer person, or an agent, or a manager," he suggested. And Channing? She says she's down. "I would love to do [Smash]," Channing told us. "It's a great bunch of people." When Bernadette Peters »

Smash: That "Bombshell" Finale
17 May 2012 7:00 AM, PDT | FilmExperience | See recent FilmExperience news »
True story. When I pressed play on the DVR to write up this last Smash post of the season, the TV "resumed play" in the middle of the episode somehow though I'd already watched the whole thing through. The mute button was on. Chorus girl Ivy (Megan Hilty) was pulling a ring box from her purse. The ring wasn't hers but fellow chorus girl Karen's (Katharine McPhee) whose fiance had left the ring in Ivy's hotel room after a drunken one night stand. At the exact moment that Ivy opened the ring box, the unmistakably familiar siren song of the ice cream truck sounded outside my apartment.
I'm not sure where I'm going with this so let it suffice to say that this final episode of Smash's first season was nothing at all like a refreshing creamy treat. The only similarity was that I felt sick to my stomach after devouring it. »

Trailers: Duplass Brothers' The Do-Deca-Pentathlon Comedy and Oscar-Nominated A Cat in Paris
16 May 2012 3:24 AM, PDT | WorstPreviews.com | See recent Worst Previews news »
Back when we interviewed the Duplass Brothers for "Cyrus," they said that they can make a movie for the amount it costs to pay for their hotel rooms. Apparently they have now made that movie and it's called "The Do-Deca-Pentathlon." In addition to the trailer for the comedy, we also have a trailer for the English version of "A Cat in Paris," the animated film that was nominated for an Oscar, despite the fact that Steven Spielberg's "Tintin" was not. The Do-Deca-Pentathlon: The story of two grown brothers who secretly compete in a homemade Olympics during a family reunion. When their fierce and disruptive competition is uncovered, the brothers must pick between their passion for beating the hell out of each other and the greater good of the family. Set to hit theaters on July 6th. A Cat in Paris: A thrilling mystery that unfurls in the alleys and »
The Criterion Collection Announce August 2012 Blu-ray Slate Including The Royal Tenenbaums
15 May 2012 8:54 PM, PDT | TheHDRoom | See recent TheHDRoom news »
During the summer months, theaters are often full of blockbusters and "popcorn" films; movies meant to make one turn off their brain and forget the world around them and its troubles. Much like they do all year long, the folks at The Criterion Collection have a multitude of summer Blu-ray offerings during the months of July and August that demand one's brain be "on" and fully aware and ready for thoughts, ideas, and discussion.
In July, Criterion is releasing four Blu-ray titles, three of which are upgrades of previously released DVDs in the collection. Leading off these upgrades is Jim Jarmusch's sophomore directorial effort Down By Law, a 1986 noir-ish comedy starring Tom Waits. The other two upgrades come from director Whit Stillman; 1990's Metropolitan and 1998's The Last Days of Disco. Both films look take a look at various aspects of Manhattan life with a dry humor and wit that Stillman made his own. »
'Ever After' to get musical treatment in 2013 -- can Broadway handle three Cinderellas?

Is Cinderella the new Snow White? With Into the Woods taking Central Park this summer, Douglas Carter Beane’s rejiggered Cinderella tentatively scheduled for next season, and a third Cinderella story now entering the mix, glass slippers are in fashion on Broadway. Producers of Ever After, a new musical based on the 1998 film starring Drew Barrymore and Anjelica Huston, announced plans on Tuesday for a Broadway opening during the 2013-2014 season, with a pre-Broadway engagement planned (but not announced).

A Trailer for the Oscar-Nominated Animated Feature 'A Cat in Paris'
15 May 2012 12:10 PM, PDT | firstshowing.net | See recent FirstShowing.net news »
When the Academy Award nominations were announced earlier this year, there was plenty of head scratching. Aside from the snubs which we're talked about on various occasions before, in the animated feature film category, one nomination came out of left field with A Cat in Paris. Barely anybody had heard of the film, and it was disappointing that The Adventures of Tintin didn't get a nod instead. However, for all we know the film is an animated treasure, and audiences can find out soon enough as the first trailer for the English-dubbed version, featuring Anjelica Huston and Marcia Gay Harden has arrived. Watch below! Here's the trailer for Jean-Loup Felicioli and Alain Gagnol's A Cat in Paris via The Playlist: A Cat in Paris is directed by Jean-Loup Felicioli and Alain Gagnol and was originally released in France back in 2010 before being nominated for Best Animated Feature at the »

Features Voices Of Angelica Huston, Marcia Gay Harden, Matthew Modine & More
Independent animation distributor Gkids has announced that an English language version of the Academy Award-nominated "A Cat in Paris," will be released on American shores (in New York, Los Angeles, San Francisco and San Diego) on June 1st. Among the vocal cast assembled for this new version are Angelica Huston, Marcia Gay Harden, Matthew Modine and Steve Blum. This is being seen as the beginning of a wider platform release.
"A Cat in Paris," directed by Jean-Loup Felicioli and Alain Gagnol, was originally released in France back in 2010 and concerns a young girl whose cat helps her solve a mystery over the course of one atmosphere-heavy night. Last year it was nominated for Best Animated Feature, one of two foreign language animated films in a category usually dominated by Pixar and DreamWorks Animation.

15 May 2012 6:30 AM, PDT | The Film Stage | See recent The Film Stage news »
Nominated for the Best Animated Academy Award this year there was the eventual winner Rango, Puss In Boots, Kung Fu Panda 2 and than those two “other movies” that the audience never heard of. Well, it’s looking like those outliers may just be vastly superior the majority of the batch, as these things normally work out. Fernando Trueba, the director of one of the films, Chico and Rita, is already planning his follow-up, a film titled Tenorio, which follows the Brazilian pianist.
Then we have A Cat In Paris, which is getting a Us release next month, complete with an English-dub and a new theatrical trailer. Coming from Jean-Loup Felicioli and Alain Gagnol, the film takes on the wonderful method of hand-drawn animation, with looks to incorporate some stunning set designs with an German expression style.

'Smash' finale drops a real 'Bombshell' - several of them actually
14 May 2012 9:00 PM, PDT | Zap2It - From Inside the Box | See recent Zap2It - From Inside the Box news »
The "Smash" Season 1 finale answers the question that's been plaguing viewers since Rebecca Duvall (Uma Thurman) exited the "Bombshell" stage -- who is playing Marilyn Monroe? And it's the answer lots of folks have been hoping for since Karen and Ivy were both called back for the lead role in the workshop.
Derek (Jack Davenport) selects Katharine McPhee's Karen Cartwright to take the stage as Marilyn when "Bombshell" debuts with a brand-new, less-depressing ending.
"I see her -- in my head," Derek says to Ivy (Megan Hilty). "She just has something that you don't."
A look at the other bombshells dropped in the Season 1 finale:
Ellis (Jaime Cepero) admits to poisoning Rebecca with peanuts and gets fired. In one of the more expected plot developments, Ellis comes clean as the culprit that sent Rebecca to the hospital -- a move he thinks deserves him a producer credit for the musical. »

'Smash' Finale Postmortem: A Marilyn is Crowned Once and for Good
14 May 2012 8:00 PM, PDT | The Hollywood Reporter | See recent The Hollywood Reporter news »
[Warning: This story contains spoilers from the season finale of Smash.] NBC's Smash wrapped its freshman run Monday by crowning a Marilyn Monroe once and for all as Bombshell was forced to make a final decision between Ivy, who played the part during the workshop, and newcomer Karen, the show's most recent understudy. Ultimately, Derek's (Jack Davenport) visions of Karen (Katharine McPhee) as Marilyn gave her the edge over Ivy (Megan Hilty), despite his romantic connection with the latter. His decision, meanwhile, doesn't go over well with Tom (Christian Borle), Julia (Debra Messing), Eileen (Anjelica Huston) and Ellis (Jamie

'Smash's' Anjelica Huston on John Steinbeck playing Santa Claus and Marlon Brando's influence
14 May 2012 1:00 PM, PDT | Zap2It - From Inside the Box | See recent Zap2It - From Inside the Box news »
Zap2it: You grew up around so many legends, who stands out for you?
Anjelica Huston: I grew up with a lot of interesting people like Carson McCullers and Arthur Miller and a lot of very interesting people who weren't necessarily Hollywood. There was a Japanese samurai who came over to Ireland (where her father lived in a castle in Ireland), and who, according to my father, was only allowed to cry three times in his life. It was extremely diverse. I met John Steinbeck. He was so kind and funny and sweet and affable and dear. I was 7 or 8 when he played Santa Claus for us. He used to write lovely letters. John Steinbeck used to sign his letters with a pigasus -- a pig with wings.
Zap2it: Who influenced you?
Anjelica Huston: Marlon Brando. I was maybe 10 or 11 or 9. My father was about to make "Reflections in a Golden Eye. »

One of the few surprises of last season's Academy Awards nominations announcement was the fact that the animated feature category made room for not one but two of the fringe indie titles doing battle with big guns like Disney and DreamWorks. Both films -- "A Cat in Paris" and "Chico & Rita" -- were distributed by little engine that could Gkids. The studio has just announced the voice cast for the English language version of the film, which will release in New York, Los Angeles, San Francisco and San Diego on June 1.

'Smash': Are you hate-watching it? Or do you still have hope for an improved Season 2?
14 May 2012 10:28 AM, PDT | EW.com - PopWatch | See recent EW.com - PopWatch news »
If there’s one thing critics enjoy more than rhapsodizing about something they love, it’s gleefully picking apart something they despise. And this season, the hottest punching bag on TV is Smash — a backstage drama that went from NBC’s Great White Hope to a total mess in about four episodes flat.
The same writers who once praised Smash’s pilot are still watching the show — but instead of extolling its virtues, they’re writing with relish about how fascinatingly awful it’s become. And even though I haven’t been as hard on the series as some of my ink-soaked colleagues, »

Maureen Ryan: 'Smash' & The Rise Of The Group Hate-Watch
14 May 2012 4:44 AM, PDT | Aol TV. | See recent Aol TV. news »
For the past couple months, "Smash" (Mondays at 10 p.m. Et on NBC) has been the source of something pretty enjoyable.
I don't mean to imply that the show itself has been good. Actually, the fact that, after a quartet of good or pretty good episodes, it quickly became brain-meltingly awful has led to the birth of a brand-new form of entertainment: The group hate-watch.
When it comes to group hate-watching, "Smash" is the gift that keeps on giving. You couldn't really ask for better cannon fodder, because in order to get a quality snark going, you have to have cared at some point (my initial "Smash" review was glowing), but you've also got to be tremendously disappointed or annoyed by whatever a show is doing (and what possessor of eyeballs isn't, at this point?).
But the group hate-watch allows former fans to glean at least a little something from the wreckage. »
