Rewind TV: Hit & Miss; Hell on Wheels; The Fish Market: Inside Billingsgate – review
15 hours ago | The Guardian - TV News | See recent The Guardian - TV News news »
Chloë Sevigny showed us what she's made of in Sky Atlantic's crime thriller Hit & Miss

The big hurdle you had to get over in Hit & Miss – the first fruits of Sky Atlantic's much-trumpeted investment in original drama – was the notion of Hollywood glamour minx Chloë Sevigny as a transsexual hitman working for an underworld gang boss in Manchester.
Here she was as sexy Mia, silently pumping bullets into someone in a car park (will car-park users never learn?) and afterwards seen knowing how to use an electric screwdriver. Yes, Diy skills. What did that tell us? Well, it was half convincing, in so much as Chloë Sevigny made a terrific woman. She walked like one, punched a punchbag like one, and sat in a bar smoking like one. »

On The Road Movie: Mixed Review/Variety
23 May 2012 1:12 PM, PDT | Alt Film Guide | See recent Alt Film Guide news »
Cannes Film Festival movie review: In Variety, Justin Chang says the following about Walter Salles‘ On the Road, a film adaptation of Jack Kerouac‘s 1957 novel starring Garrett Hedlund (Dean Moriarty / Neal Cassady), Sam Riley (Sal Paradise / Jack Kerouac’s alter ego), and Kristen Stewart (photo, as Marylou / LouAnne Henderson): "Evocatively lensed, skillfully made and duly attentive to the mercurial qualities of its daunting source material, Walter Salles’ picture pulses with youthful energy but feels overly calculated in its bid for spontaneity, attesting to the difficulty and perhaps futility of trying to reproduce Kerouac’s literary lightning onscreen. "… The blur of events and surface impressions onscreen … feels overlong at 139 minutes, yet nowhere near long enough, and even Riley’s appealing, bright-eyed turn can’t keep Sal from seeming a passive, psychologically weak protagonist. "The other actors hit their notes effectively, particularly [Viggo] Mortensen and [Tom] Sturridge as the respective alter egos »

Saoirse Ronan Finds Feminism in 'Testament of Youth'
22 May 2012 7:27 AM, PDT | NextMovie | See recent NextMovie news »
Saoirse Ronan has always been one for mixing things up, whether she's playing ultimate bratty little sister in "Atonement" or snapping necks to a Chemical Brothers beat in "Hanna."
Ronan's latest project is a juicy one and suits the young actress perfectly. She's taking on the starring role of real-life feminist, pacifist and writer Vera Brittain in an adaptation of her memoir "Testament of Youth." "Harry Potter" producer David Heyman is working on the film, which is also being backed by the BBC.
The book details Brittain's experiences in World War I as a nurse and the losses she suffered, including her beloved fiancé Roland. "Testament of Youth" launched the young writer into the public eye; even Virginia Woolf was a fan of the book. Brittain's story was also turned into an award-winning TV mini-series in the '70s.
It's a great role for the grown-up actress, whose career hasn't followed the usual teen trajectory, »

On The Road Clip: Kristen Stewart/Marylou Wants Normal Life
21 May 2012 1:23 PM, PDT | Alt Film Guide | See recent Alt Film Guide news »
On the Road: Kristen Stewart as Marylou, Sam Riley‘s / Sal Paradise’s ear "I just had a great idea, you guys are gonna love it!" exclaims Garrett Hedlund‘s Dean Moriarty at the end of this French-subtitled On the Road clip. (Please scroll down to check out Sur la route.) Also seen in the clip are Kristen Stewart‘s Marylou and Sam Riley‘s Sal Paradise. Walter Salles directed this year’s Cannes Film Festival’s Palme d’Or contender. Kristen Stewart is the focus of this particular On the Road clip, as Marylou is apparently telling Sal that she’s going to dump Dean. She sounds a bit like a fatalist: better dump Dean before he dumps her. In any case, she’s already got a fiance at home, a sailor. Marylou also sounds like a traditionalist here: she wants a house and a baby, "something normal. »

Saoirse Ronan To Star In WW1 Nursing Memoir 'Testament Of Youth,' From 'Harry Potter' Producer David Heyman
21 May 2012 12:50 PM, PDT | The Playlist | See recent The Playlist news »
After mightily impressing in the likes of “Atonement,” “The Lovely Bones” and more recently “Hanna,” Saoirse Ronan (a name almost impossible to type correctly on a first attempt) looks to have a very exciting career ahead of her. She’ll star in Neil Jordan’s “Byzantium” later this year and has “The Host” and Darren Aronofsky’s “Noah” among the more notable releases on her upcoming slate. And we can now add another film to that list, in the form of a David Heyman-produced adaptation of a Vera Brittain memoir.
We’re assuming that said memoir will be “Testament of Youth,” which was published in 1993 and recounted Brittain’s experiences during World War I and the beginning of her journey towards pacifism. Brittain was famed for her writing on pacifism and feminism, so expect those to be strong themes in the film. Although it’s not explicitly stated in THR’s story, »

News: Kristen Stewart/Garrett Hedlund/Sam Riley On The Road Interview
21 May 2012 11:31 AM, PDT | Alt Film Guide | See recent Alt Film Guide news »
On the Road interview: Garrett Hedlund, Kristen Stewart, Sam Riley "It’s interesting to play characters that have existed," says Kristen Stewart in an On the Road video interview posted at Screenslam. (Please scroll down.) "Especially when you have grown to love those people. When I played Joan Jett, I couldn’t improvise. I felt so weird putting words in her mouth. I always referred to her. And in this case, we wouldn’t be doing On the Road right, unless it was found, unless so much of it was, like, learned and then forgotten, so we could actually just discover it ourselves." Screenslam will be posting several interviews with various On the Road talent in the next few days. On the Road, in competition for the Palme d’Or at the Cannes Film Festival, opens in France on May 23. Directed by Walter Salles — of previous road movies Central Station »

'The Borgias' Will Be Back for a Third Season on Showtime
4 May 2012 3:53 PM, PDT | Indiewire | See recent Indiewire news »
Currently airing on a Sunday night overcrowded with "Mad Men," "Game of Thrones," "Girls," now "Sherlock" and more, "The Borgias" sometimes feels like the most pedigreed show no one's talking about -- created by Neil Jordan ("The Crying Game," "The End of the Affair"), the series stars Jeremy Irons as Pope Alexander VI, reigning over the devious, power-hungry Borgia family. Now it looks like "The Borgias" will have more time to grab the public's eye: Showtime announced today that they're renewing the series for a third 10-episode season that will begin shooting this summer in Budapest and will air in 2013. The most recent episode of "The Borgias" snagged an audience of 579,000 but, like HBO, Showtime re-airs the episodes throughout the week and makes them available on demand, making the cumulative viewship significantly higher. »

4 May 2012 12:59 PM, PDT | Zap2It - From Inside the Box | See recent Zap2It - From Inside the Box news »
Midway through its second season, Renaissance drama "The Borgias" has gotten an early green light for Season 3 from Showtime. Jeremy Irons and the rest of the cast will return to Budapest, Hungary this summer to begin production on 10 new episodes of the series, set to premiere on Showtime in 2013.
According to Showtime's press release, "As the series continues to unfold, the greatest existential threat to Alexander's Papacy may not come from foreign adversaries or ambitious political operatives, but may linger within his most trusted inner circle - his family.
"The cunning Cesare engages his dark side; the profligate Juan turns murderous and ostracized by his family; and the increasingly independent Lucrezia refuses to be a pawn in her family's continued quest for power."
Academy Award-winner and Emmy nominee Neil Jordan will stay on as creator, executive producer, and occasional writer and director. »

3 May 2012 11:00 AM, PDT | FEARnet | See recent FEARnet news »
Jonny Lee Miller doesn't play a vampire in Dark Shadows (due out on May 11th), but his character Roger Collins is apparently quite a bloodsucker. And so is Miller's next screen role, in Neil Jordan's return to vamp cinema, Byzantium. Watch a new video interview with Miller, in which he discusses both roles, after the jump. Jonny Lee Miller tells The Hollywood Reporter that "there isn't much in common between that occult project and his next one -- Neil Jordan's vampire-themed Byzantium. 'They're wildly different,' Miller tells THR. 'I hadn't even made the connection, if you can believe that. They're so different.'" "In Dark Shadows, Tim Burton's »
