Screenwriter David Koepp Pens Sci-Fi Film The Wind for Warner Bros and Debut Director Nic Mathieu
24 May 2012 8:35 PM, PDT | Collider.com | See recent Collider.com news »
With Men in Black 3 opening in theaters this weekend, screenwriter David Koepp can set his sights on other pursuits. It's being reported that one of those pursuits is the top-secret, sci-fi film The Wind, which Koepp wrote and will produce. The plot details are locked down at the moment, but Wind is known to take place in a space colony. The studio has taken a somewhat uncharacteristic route in tapping commercials helmer, Nic Mathieu, to make his directorial debut on The Wind. Mathieu's track record in the industry boasts a long line of execs that were impressed with his work, notably his reported mastery over CG. Hit the jump to see what else is on Koepp's plate and for some examples of Mathieu's work. Heat Vision reports that Mathieu made a strong impression with the studio during his "impressive and confident" presentation for The Wind. Anonymous Content has a »

Lyne Gets Money For Taking "Back Roads"
21 May 2012 8:09 PM, PDT | Dark Horizons | See recent Dark Horizons news »
Adrian Lyne's long-gestating film adaptation of Tawni O’Dell's novel "Back Roads" has found financing says The Hollywood Reporter.
Set in Pennsylvania’s mining country, the story follows a 20-year-old man who has to care for his three sisters after his mother is convicted of killing his abusive father.
He commences an affair with a married mother of two and becomes the prime suspect in a murder. Andrew Garfield was previously attached to star but that fell apart a while back due to scheduling issues.
Rcr Media Group is backing the steamy thriller which "Fatal Attraction" and "Indecent Proposal" helmer Lyne will direct, marking his first film since 2002's "Unfaithful". Lyne's been attached to numerous projects over the years including "Two Minutes to Midnight," "Prince of Thieves", and last month he was linked to John Grisham's legal thriller "The Associate". »

Kristen Stewart Offered Role In Adrian Lyne’s ‘Back Roads’
20 May 2012 7:00 AM, PDT | The Film Stage | See recent The Film Stage news »
I spent this afternoon visiting Adrian Lyne‘s 9 1/2 Weeks (which I’d never seen before), so I suppose it’s only natural that casting news should now surface on the director’s first project since 2002′s Unfaithful. We’d previously speculated that Lyne would be following up his Richard Gere-Diane Lane romantic stinger by adapting John Grisham‘s The Associate, but this up-to-date Moviehole report suggests a very different novel-to-film undertaking — that of Tawni O’Dell‘s best-selling Back Roads, which he was rumored to take on in February of 2011.
The report speculates furthermore about the potential casting choices on Lynn‘s adaptation. Chloë Moretz — who’s currently on screens worldwide in Tim Burton‘s trivial Dark Shadows — is thought to already be on board with the project, while Kristen Stewart — who will soon appear in On the Road — has merely been offered an unspecified part.

Tjff 2012: ‘Naomi’ is a study of incurious people being unlikeable for unknowable reasons

Naomi
Directed by Eitan Tzur
Written by Edna Mazia
Israel/France, 2010
If prostitution is the world’s oldest profession, then tales of infidelity must be one of the oldest forms of storytelling. From the bible to Nabokov, Adele’s entire discography to Adrian Lyne’s entire filmography, the devastating consequences of adulterous liaisons have provided ample inspiration for impassioned pieces of art.
Eitan Tzur’s extramarital drama piece, Naomi, hopes to break new ground in this impermeable genre, but instead of cultivating inspiration and adding to the library of pivotal staples, Naomi’s uninspired efforts makes it a poorly adapted translation of well-established works.
Married to the 28-year old Naomi (Melanie Peres), Ilan (Yossi Pollak), a middle-aged astrophysics professor, becomes suspicious of his wife when their marital routines start to go astray. When his insecurities become realized, Ilan’s life spirals into a dark tailspin of despair, resulting in unfathomable repercussions. »

The Hunger Games Box Office: First Since Titanic with Key Female Role, Staying Power

Stanley Tucci as Caesar Flickerman, Jennifer Lawrence as Katniss Everdeen, The Hunger Games The Hunger Games has topped the Us/Canada box office for the fourth weekend in a row. Starring Jennifer Lawrence (Winter's Bone), the Gary Ross-directed blockbuster scored $21.5 million according to studio estimates found at Box Office Mojo. The dystopic action-drama was down a relatively modest 35% compared to Easter weekend. Prior to The Hunger Games, the most recent movie to achieve the four-weekend-in-a-row feat was James Cameron / Sam Worthington's Avatar in early 2010. In fact, Avatar remained at the top for seven consecutive weekends. The Hunger Games, however, won't get that far. Next weekend, it'll surely be unseated by Zac Efron / Taylor Schilling's The Lucky One. Among the nearly 30 movies that have managed to be no. 1 for four weekends in a row are Christopher Nolan / Christian Bale / Heath Ledger's The Dark Knight (2008), Peter Jackson / Elijah Wood »

Adrian Lyne Up For The Associate
15 April 2012 10:51 AM, PDT | EmpireOnline | See recent EmpireOnline news »
This year marks a decade since Adrian Lyne last released a movie (that would be Diane Lane / Richard Gere / Olivier Martinez bonk triangle Unfaithful), but it hasn’t been for want of tying. He’s developed projects here and there through the years, but nothing has seemed to come of them until recently. And now he’s circling a likely prospect with John Grisham adaptation The Associate for Paramount.The legal drama, which finds a Yale graduate coerced into taking a job with a big law firm after he learns crucial information about a big case, has had its own stumbles on the road to the screen. Back in 2008, Shia Labeouf was attached to star as the main character, with Tony Scott showing interest in 2010, attracted by a script from William Monahan. But the deals never quite worked out.Enter Lyne, for whom “briefs” in a film usually means underwear and the shedding thereof. »

Meet the 2012 Tribeca Filmmakers #23: 'Rubberneck' Director Alex Karpovsky
13 April 2012 9:26 AM, PDT | Indiewire | See recent Indiewire news »
After the making three films, all comedies, director Alex Karpovsky is heading to Tribeca with "Rubberneck," his first foray into the thriller genre. With his influences for the film ranging from Michael Haneke to Adrian Lyne, he's modeling himself after good company. Along with his directorial and co-writing duties on the film, Karpovksy also dabbles in acting and is a primary cast member of "Rubberneck." What's it about?: "Rubberneck is a slow-burning, character-driven psychosexual thriller revolving around a scientific laboratory on the outskirts of Boston." Your background?: "I grew up in the suburbs of Boston. Following grad school (where I studied visual ethnography), I devoted an unhealthy amount of time trying to become the next Andy Kaufman. I did a lot of forgettable performance art and misguided theater and ‘alternative comedy’ in my early twenties and the ephemerality of it all began to »

The John Grisham Renaissance Continues: Adrian Lyne To Direct 'The Associate'
13 April 2012 6:25 AM, PDT | The Playlist | See recent The Playlist news »
It seems that Hollywood is ready to get back into the John Grisham business. Earlier this week, Mark Wahlberg became attached to produce and star in New Regency's adaptation of "The Partner," and now director Adrian Lyne ("Flashdance," "Fatal Attraction") may come out of hybernation to helm Paramount's adaptation of Grisham's 2009 novel "The Associate."
It's been ten years since Lyne has worked on a studio film, last directing the 2002 thriller "Unfaithful," but Variety says that Lyne is now in talks to direct "The Associate," which has been laying dormant for some time. William Monahan ("The Departed") wrote the initial draft of the script, but Paramount had a difficult time setting the budget, which made Shia Labeouf and possible director Tony Scott walk away from the project (they were looking at it back in 2010). The report doesn't say what the budget might have been, but says that Paramount has settled on a $25-30 pricetag, »

Adrian Lyne May Direct the Adaptation of John Grisham’s The Associate
12 April 2012 9:49 PM, PDT | Collider.com | See recent Collider.com news »
As the last movie he directed is one of my personal favorites (mostly because I'm in love with Diane Lane), I welcome the possibility of Adrian Lyne returning to the director's chair. His last go round was in 2002's Unfaithful, for which Lane received an Academy Award for Best Actress nomination. Lyne is reportedly now in negotiations to direct the adaptation of John Grisham's The Associate for Paramount. The twisting and turning plot follows a young lawyer who is blackmailed by a number of organizations who each have their own nefarious interests in mind. The picture previously had Tony Scott attached to direct with Shia Labeouf starring and Lorenzo di Bonaventura producing. Only di Bonaventura remains attached. Hit the jump for more. Variety reports that Lyne is in talks to direct The Associate from a script originally drafted by William Monahan. Scott and Labeouf had dropped out of the »

Adrian Lyne In Talks For "Associate"
12 April 2012 8:49 PM, PDT | Dark Horizons | See recent Dark Horizons news »
Adrian Lyne ("Fatal Attraction," "Unfaithful") is in talks to direct the adaptation of John Grisham's legal thriller "The Associate" at Paramount Pictures reports Variety.
The story follows a student who's about to graduate from Yale Law School when he's manipulated into accepting a job at a prestige law firm and given privileged information about a multibillion-dollar lawsuit.
William Monahan penned the original draft adaptation back when Shia Labeouf and director Tony Scott were attached. That version fell through due to monetary issues.
The new version has set a $25-30 million budget and the studio is now looking for its star and are keen to land new Spider-Man Andrew Garfield. Lorenzo di Bonaventura will produce. »

Adrian Lyne May Return With John Grisham Adaptation ‘The Associate’; Andrew Garfield Wanted for Lead
12 April 2012 7:29 PM, PDT | The Film Stage | See recent The Film Stage news »
Coming right after Mark Wahlberg‘s multi-hyphenated interest in The Partner, Variety has me thinking John Grisham‘s suddenly back in style. According to them, Adrian Lyne (Jacob’s Ladder, Fatal Attraction) may end his nearly ten-year retirement by adapting his novel, The Associate, with a script by William Monahan there to guide him along.
I could make a joke about the story centering on a lawyer, but we’re not going to poke fun at Michael Bay for making expensive action films, either. (Actually…) As it were, The Associate tells the story of “a recent Yale grad coerced into taking a job with a prestige firm after he’s given information about a multi-billion-dollar case.” When we first reported on the film, back in August of 2010, Shia Labeouf and Tony Scott were the prospective star and director, respectively, and the story was said to follow “a young lawyer thrust »

Adrian Lyne last sat in the director’s chair for the 2002 Fox infidelity drama Unfaithful starring Richard Gere, Diane Lane and Olivier Martinez. Lyne looked to bring the ten-year, directing dry spell to an end with a deal to direct Paramount’s John Grisham adaptation The Associate. Variety reported that Lyne continued talks with producer Lorenzo di Bonaventura and looked likely to helm the project. William Monahan wrote the adaptation about Kyle McAvoy, a Yale law graduate and associate at the world’s largest law firm caught between a dark secret and a darker scheme that may get him killed. »

Stanley Kubrick: Master of Contradictions
9 April 2012 11:53 AM, PDT | The Moving Arts Journal | See recent The Moving Arts Journal news »
Who are the great American film directors? More to the point, who do we think are the great American film directors? Well, there’s Ford, of course, the Zeus of the American pantheon, by turns comic, epic, maudlin and humane. Then there’s Welles, the ill-fated genius, abused by producers but beloved of critics. Spielberg, even in his seventh decade, is still the boy wonder; Scorsese the mad scientist. Griffith is the wise forefather, deeply flawed but idolized nonetheless, while Hawks is ageless, just as sly and self-assured as he was at the time of “The Big Sleep” (1946).
Kubrick, however, beats them all.
Is there anyone more respected or, with the possible exception of Hitchcock, recognizable? Turn on any Stanley Kubrick movie and you should know instantly, whether you’ve seen it before or not, who the film’s director is. The peerless, pristine images; the long, empty corridors; the upturned, »

Woody Harrelson’s 9 Best Movie Roles
21 March 2012 9:00 AM, PDT | NextMovie | See recent NextMovie news »
For over 25 years, Woody Harrelson has entertained us with a wide array of characters ranging from psychopaths to lovable losers. This year alone we've seen him in two very different parts: a wickedly corrupt L.A. cop in "Rampart" and a Republican party strategist in "Game Change." His latest role -- sure to be one of his more colorful -- is Haymitch Abernathy, the drunken mentor of Katniss in "The Hunger Games."
To celebrate his versatility, we look back at Harrelson’s nine best performances in what has become an impressive career.
9. 'A Scanner Darkly' (2006)
"The Hunger Games" isn’t the first time Harrelson has worked with existing material. In Richard Linklater’s adaptation of the classic Philip K. Dick sci-fi thriller, Harrelson plays Ernie Luckman, the mellow yet extremely paranoid member of a group of drug addicts that have an undercover cop in their midst. Starring opposite Robert Downey Jr., »

The Horror! The Horror! Must-See War Films

You can't show war as it really is on the screen, with all the blood and gore. Perhaps it would be better if you could fire real shots over the audience's head every night, you know, and have actual casualties in the theater. -- Sam Fuller, film director and author
War is a grisly business, a horror of epic proportions. In terms of human carnage alone, war's devastation is staggering. For example, it is estimated that approximately 231 million people died worldwide during the wars of the 20th century. However, this figure does not take into account the walking wounded -- both physically and psychologically -- who "survive" war. Eventually, war will be our undoing. As Pulitzer Prize-winning war correspondent and author Chris Hedges observes: War is like a poison. And just as a cancer patient must at times ingest a poison to fight off a disease, so there are times »
