Teaser And Making-Of Video For Juan Jose Campanella's Animated Film Foosball
31 March 2012 1:50 PM, PDT | Twitch | See recent Twitch news »
Argentine director Juan José Campanella of the Academy Award winning crime thriller The Secret in Their Eyes is making his first foray into 3D CG animation with Foosball (aka Metegol), a co-production of several Argentinian (Catmandu) and Spanish (Plural-Jempsa, Film Factory Entertainment) production houses. I supposed a miniature soccer figure that can talk is not too much of a stretch of the imagination when theres been a wooden puppet or pull-string cowboy doll that can talk as well in other animated films. The story is based on Memoirs of a Right Winger by Argentine writer Roberto Fontanarrosa. The film tells the story of Amadeo, a shy but talented boy, and of a foosball team that is trying to get back together after having been dismantled. »

We’ve seen toys come to life and we’ve seen garden gnomes come to life, but what about Foosball figures? A short and very intriguing teaser trailer has hit the web for Academy Award-winning director Juan Jose Campanella’s animated film Foosball. Campanella, who is best known for the Argentine crime thriller The Secret in Their Eyes, makes his animated debut with Foosball, a movie that Follows an underdog who, with the help of foosball figures that come to life, must take on a star soccer pro to save their village.
Foosball teaser by animatieblog
The premise of the story maybe offering a new twist on how to save the protagonists home town, but it’s the animation that makes this trailer very interesting. The foosball players look very authentic, like the ones you would see in college dorms or sport bars.
The film is apparently in Spanish, but »

Teaser for ‘Foosball,’ Juan Jose Campanella’s Animated Folllow-Up to ‘The Secret In Their Eyes’
30 March 2012 3:06 PM, PDT | The Film Stage | See recent The Film Stage news »
If, rhetorically, you were to ask me how Juan José Campanella would follow 2010′s terrific The Secret In Their Eyes, an animated film centering on a foosball table figure… would not have been an early guess. But that’s just what he’s made with Foosball, which follows “an underdog who, with the help of foosball figures that come to life, must take on a star soccer pro to save their village.” Now, Animate (via ThePlaylist) have provided a teaser.
This being, again, a teaser, we only get some ordinary wisecracks from a British “football” player and his victorious goal; all well and good, though this newfound curiosity leaves me wanting a bit more. But, whatever. I’m just glad Campanella‘s got something new in the pipeline.
Watch it below:
Have you known about Foosball, and is it something you find yourself interested in?

Teaser Trailer for Juan Jose Campanella’s Animated Film Foosball
30 March 2012 2:22 PM, PDT | Collider.com | See recent Collider.com news »
A short yet intriguing teaser trailer has hit the web for Academy Award-winning director Juan Jose Campanella’s animated film Foosball. Campanella is best known for the Argentine crime thriller The Secret in Their Eyes, but he’s taken on animation for his latest project. The film apparently “follows an underdog who, with the help of foosball figures that come to life, must take on a star soccer pro to save their village." The story is fun enough, but it’s the animation here that really catches my eye. I like the feel of the foosball players and I’m eager to see more from this curious little pic. The film is apparently in Spanish, but this teaser features an English (specifically British) voiceover. Hit the jump to watch the teaser. No word on when we'll get to see the film stateside, but hopefully sometime this year. Here’s the »

Watch: Teaser Trailer for Juan Jose Campanella's Animated 'Foosball'
30 March 2012 2:07 PM, PDT | firstshowing.net | See recent FirstShowing.net news »
Aside from the fact that The Secret in Their Eyes won Best Foreign Film at the Academy Awards in 2009, the film from director Juan Jose Campanella was worthy of plenty of praise. One particular portion involved a spectacularly directed and extensive scene at a soccer (or football) match, a scene that more than hinted at the passion Campanella shared for the sport. Therefore, it comes as no surprise that the director turned his attention to an animated film called Metegol, or Foosball. The film follows an underdog who, with the help of foosball figures that come to life, must take on a star soccer pro to save their village. Watch! Here's the teaser trailer for Juan Jose Campanella Foosball, originally found via The Playlist: Obviously it's just a teaser, but the animation looks pretty great, and the concept sounds fun for adults and children alike. It's important to note that »

Watch: Teaser For The Animated 'Foosball' From ‘Secret In Their Eyes’ Director Juan Jose Campanella
30 March 2012 11:28 AM, PDT | The Playlist | See recent The Playlist news »
Back in 2010 it was reported that Juan Jose Campanella, director of the breathless, Academy Award-winning whodunit “Secret In Their Eyes,” would next set his sights on an animated project called “Metegol” (aka “Foosball”). Well, today a brief teaser has appeared (via Animatie) and it seems charming enough. The original logline was that the film “follows an underdog who, with the help of foosball figures that come to life, must take on a star soccer pro to save their village." You don’t really get that from the teaser, but then again, it is only a minute long.
The teaser starts off with a braggart football (or, if you’re American, soccer) star talking about what it’s like being on the sidelines, about all the goals he’s scored and… the camera pulls back, revealing that our subject is not a full-sized football player but actually a tiny foosball figure. »

Pablo Trapero's noirish drama centring around car crashes and insurance scams in Argentina is claustrophobic but well realised
There are 8,000 deaths and 120,000 people injured on Argentinian roads every year. The statistics are worse, I'm told, in some other countries and insurance companies are being shaken down all round the world. But apparently in deeply corrupt and unjust Argentina a sizable industry has grown up to exploit these accidents, involving the victims, relatives of the dead and maimed, lawyers, the medical profession and the police. This is the background to the latest movie by Pablo Trapero, one of the leaders in the recent resurgence of Latin American cinema.
The 40-year-old Trapero's movies have ranged socially and geographically across Argentina these past 10 years, finding pain and resilience in every corner of the nation. In the heart-warming road movie Familia rodante, an 84-year-old widow persuades a dozen members of her extended family »

4 January 2012 5:44 PM, PST | Collider.com | See recent Collider.com news »
MGM is making moves. After lingering in financial troubles for quite a while (putting projects like Red Dawn, Cabin in the Woods, and the Bond franchise in jeopardy), the studio is now moving full-speed ahead. Earlier today we reported on the studio’s remake of Carrie, and now comes some news concerning their adaptation of the children’s book Heck: Where the Bad Kids Go. Oscar-winning director Juan Jose Campanella (El Secreto de Sus Ojos) was previously attached to helm the pic, but word now comes that Tony-nominated writer/director Alex Timbers (Bloody Bloody Andrew Jackson) is in final negotiations to man the director’s chair. Hit the jump for more. Vulture reports that Timbers is thisclose to inking a deal to direct the adaptation. The director has been working on Broadway for years, and notably helmed the rock musical Bloody Bloody Andrew Jackson and last year’s The Pee Wee Herman Show. »

Alex Timbers To Jump From Stage to Screen For ‘Heck’
4 January 2012 9:40 AM, PST | The Film Stage | See recent The Film Stage news »
If you’re a director — of any sort — I can’t think of a bigger leap than the one from stage to film. So long as you know how to handle them in the first place, you’re probably great with getting performance from and blocking actors; lighting (and possibly sound) can’t be such a struggle, either. All that notwithstanding, going from a singular audience perspective to multiple shots, edits, etc. — it sounds like a nightmare.
So, no matter how it turns out, hats off to Alex Timbers for possibly giving it a shot. As Vulture reports, the director of the Tony-winning Bloody Bloody Andrew Jackson is being courted by MGM to helm their potential young adult franchise, Heck. The dark children’s story — a sort of spin on Dante‘s Inferno — is based on a book series by Dale E. Basye, in which Milton and his sister, Marlo, »
