Cannes 2012: Press Preview Report – The Grandmasters, Only God Forgives and Spring Breakers

4 hours ago | HeyUGuys.co.uk | See recent HeyUGuys news »

Despite being mysteriously listed in the Cannes schedule as simply ‘séance spéciale’, word quickly spread online and at Cannes that the festival had organised a special preview of exclusive footage to be shown to the press attending.

Described on the night by master of ceremonies Thierry Fremaux as an experiment (this was gleamed from the small amounts of French that I was able to understand) the event was a one off screening of trailers, teasers, clips and footage of upcoming films. These included a number of trailers that I won’t go into detail about here as they were all trailers already available online, such as Frankenweenie, Chimpanzee and The Brave but there were also a few exclusives too.

All the clips that played in the presentation had played in the preceding week in the market, in screenings that the press were denied access too. In fact, I had made »

‘Spring Breakers’ Reviews: Critics Love Selena Gomez’s New Movie

26 May 2012 3:12 PM, PDT | HollywoodLife | See recent HollywoodLife news »

The film debuted a brief clip at the Cannes Film Festival to rave reviews -- Justin Bieber must be so happy for her! Selena Gomez has been working so hard on her film career, and it seems to be paying off -- early reviews of her upcoming movie Spring Breakers are stellar! Selena, 19, stars in the racy flick, and fans were treated to an early peek of a preview at the Cannes Film Festival. The consensus? It will be amazing! "The best thing I've seen so far in Cannes: the outdoor movie Harmony Korine, Spring Breakers, alongside Tarantino movie. Harm is back!" wrote Twitter user Tom Charity. "We saw a few minutes. Struck me see Selena Gomez and Vanessa Hudgens in such extreme scenes for the film from Korine." wrote Twitter user Diego Batlle. "The craziest movie of 2013? To be a Harmony Korine movie with theft, lesbian scenes, and punk. »

Directors Larry Clark and Paolo Sorrentino find new projects

22 May 2012 4:28 PM, PDT | GordonandtheWhale | See recent GordonandtheWhale news »

While there are a handful of shock-jock filmmakers (Harmony Korine, for example), few are as brutally honest and uncompromising as Kids and Ken Park director Larry Clark. Best known for pushing content boundaries for what can and can’t be shown on the big screen, it’s been a minute since we saw Clark in the theaters. However, that’s now going to change.

At this point, we're pretty sure there's nothing that James Franco can't do. He's an Academy Award-nominated actor. He's the author of a collection of short stories called "Palo Alto." He directs, produces and writes his own films. He's cast in project after project, including Harmony Korine's "Spring Breakers" and the new Nick at Nite series "Hollywood Heights." He's even directing a documentary based on the world of pornography, all the while attending school in some fashion, as either a student or a teacher. We can hardly keep up!

One of the most anticipated projects on his plate is the Disney film "Oz: The Great and Powerful," in which Franco plays the title role alongside Mila Kunis, »

'Kids' Director Larry Clark Returns With 'The Smell Of Us' And 'Marfa Girl'

22 May 2012 7:00 AM, PDT | The Playlist | See recent The Playlist news »

Looks like American enfant terrible Larry Clark is finally stepping up to the plate after a long absence. Independent French cinema group mk2 recently sat down with documentary producers Gérard Lacroix and Pierre-Paul Puljiz, and the two revealed they would be involved in the new project from the often-controversial filmmaker behind "Kids," entitled "The Smell Of Us." Puljiz, who centered doc "Larry Clark, Great American Rebel" on the director, met with Lacroix after he expressed desire in adapting Clark's novel "Tulsa."

There's not much to go on in terms of plot, but the idea stems from poet Mathieu Landais whom he met during an exhibition in Paris. Mostly the producers speak of their trouble getting the script to a point where it wouldn't have to be censored; an obvious hurdle for those at all familiar with the director's work ("Ken Park" starts with a public suicide and ends with a »

Beasts of the Southern Wild | Review - Cannes 2012

18 May 2012 7:30 PM, PDT | SmellsLikeScreenSpirit | See recent SmellsLikeScreenSpirit news »

Director: Benh Zeitlin Writers: Benh Zeitlin, Lucy Alibar Starring: Quvenzhané Wallis, Dwight Henry, Jonshel Alexander, Marilyn Barbarin, Kaliana Brower, Henry D. Coleman, Joseph Brown, Nicholas Clark The light in Benh Zeitlin's Beast of the Southern Wild is similar to the light that Terrence Malick captures in his films. In Zeitlin's film, the light is imprisoned within the frames of a portrait that depicts a world suffering from a peculiar catastrophe. It haunts my mind and disturbs my soul, but I like it. From the very first scene in which she appears, I am a bit fascinated with Zeitlin’s lead protagonist and her ill father who appears a few minutes later. They inhabit two old and devastated, wooden cottages in the forest near the river. Hushpuppy (Quvenzhané Wallis) is named after an animal. She is like a little beast of this southern wild. She is sweet and dreadfully intelligent. »

This year the Grégoire Melin’s Kinology can do no wrong – they nabbed the best real-estate on the Croisette and reminded us that Harmony Korine’s Spring Breakers will surely be much talked about upon release and they’re sprinkled out a little bit everywhere else on the Croisette from the Main Comp with Cosmopolis, the Directors’ Fortnight with opening film from Gondry (The We and the I) and a Special Screening status in the Critics’ Week for Alice Winocour’s debut, Augustine (see pic of actress Soko above).

Cannes Review: Wes Anderson's 'Moonrise Kingdom' Is A Tender Triumph Of Design, Decor & Rich Emotion

16 May 2012 6:45 AM, PDT | The Playlist | See recent The Playlist news »

Wes Anderson's "Moonrise Kingdom" seems like an odd choice to open the 65th Cannes Film Festival, with its deadpan Americanism, retro-set timeline and movie-star cast; at the same time, Anderson is clearly influenced by the New Wave, both cinematically and personally, he's a distinctive authorial voice as a director (which is the essence of auteur theory) and while his films are defined by near-silent moments of comedy and human frailty, there's also something mournful and wounded about them. "Moonrise Kingdom," like all of Anderson's films, is a very beautiful and funny movie about grief and sorrow, and the never-was 1965 the film takes place in is both a meticulously-crafted triumph of design and decor and an emotionally rich setting, full of objects you could almost reach out and touch, with feelings and yearnings that reach out to you.

Inside Cannes 2012 T Minus one: Korine’s “Spring Breakers” and Tarantino’s “Django” Among Croisette Eye Candy

15 May 2012 9:10 AM, PDT | ioncinema | See recent ioncinema news »

This year’s pre film festival stroll beginning from the Palais portion of the Croisette and heading towards the posh hotels out east begins with an uncolored spread for Wong Kar-wai’s not yet ready and not worth publishing here  The Grandmasters that the Wild Bunch folks are selling and less than a block away we begin with the bikini clad ensemble and unrecognizable James Franco in Harmony Korine’s Spring Breakers which the folks at Kinology should have no trouble selling at all. Is this a missed op for Emma Roberts?  

Quentin Tarantino’s Django Unchained will be coming out of the gates a little later than we had hoped for, so we’ll settle on this artwork for the next two weeks.

We care more about the image in the left hand portion of this pic as this is its Brian Depalma’s return to the silver screen. »

Selena Gomez No Longer Merely a Disney Darling? "Hungry for Indie Material," Says James Franco

13 May 2012 3:34 PM, PDT | E! Online | See recent E! Online news »

We cannot wait to see Selena Gomez and Vanessa Hudgens in their upcoming indie flick, Spring Breakers. Both have already told us just how wild they get in the Harmony Korine-directed film, which centers around three college students (Gomez, Hudgens and Pretty Little Liars' Ashley Benson) who rob a restaurant in order to pay for their spring break vacation. James Franco, who plays a drug dealer who bails them out, says the movie will go far to help Gomez, 19, break free from the rigid confines of being a Disney darling... "I thought Harmony was so smart to cast her, Vanessa and Ashley because it seemed like they were so hungry for some deeper kind of material, hungry for indie material," Franco, »

First Banner + Synopsis for Spring Breakers with James Franco, Selena Gomez & Vanessa Hudgens

11 May 2012 1:30 AM, PDT | HeyUGuys.co.uk | See recent HeyUGuys news »

Writer-director Harmony Korine (Mister Lonely) is expected to bring us one of the most unique films of the year in the form of Spring Breakers.

Its uniqueness is expected in large part because it has such a diverse cast, led in the female roles by Vanessa Hudgens, Selena Gomez, Ashley Benson, and Rachel Korine (Harmony’s wife), and in the male role by James Franco.

The colourful first banner for the film has surfaced online, via KinoPoisk, featuring a gun-toting Franco opposite the bikini-clad Benson, Gomez, Hudgens, and Korine. And to add to that, IMDb also have an updated synopsis written by one of the production companies, Muse Productions, revealing a few extra details:

“Brit, Candy, Cotty, and Faith have been best friends since grade school. They live together in a boring college dorm and are hungry for adventure. All they have to do is save enough money for spring »

Spring Breakers - First Look at James Franco, Selena Gomez, and Vanessa Hudgens

10 May 2012 3:00 PM, PDT | GeekTyrant | See recent GeekTyrant news »

Here's our first look at a new film called Spring Breakers, which stars James FrancoSelena Gomez, Ashley Benson, Rachel Korine, and Vanessa Hudgens. Like Hudgens, it looks like Gomez is trying to shed those Disney clothes that she's become associated with. Here's what she had to say in the interview that came along with the pictures:

I was getting kind of repetitive in terms of the roles I was picking, and I really wanted to do something that was completely different. It was a mark thing for me—like, ‘This is what I want to be doing.' I want to be taking myself seriously as an actress, and this was definitely a stretch. I mean, I'd never smoked a cigarette before in my entire life. It was really funny—they had to show me how to do it.

'Spring Breakers' Images: Selena Gomez, Vanessa Hudgens, Bikinis, Middle Fingers, and James Franco with Guns

10 May 2012 10:52 AM, PDT | Movies.com | See recent Movies.com news »

One of the more intriguing projects hitting the Cannes Film Festival market next week will be Harmony Korine's Spring Breakers. It's intriguing because the experimental Korine is not the sort of filmmaker you expect behind a project involving Vanessa Hudgens, Selena Gomez, Ashley Benson, Heather Morris and spring break debauchery, especially when one of his more recent films was about elderly people who hump trash. Then again, humping trash and spring break may have more in common than one might think, so maybe this film makes complete sense -- who knows? Written and directed by Korine, Spring Breakers follows four college girls who rob a restaurant in order to fund their spring break trip, only to land in jail upon their arrival. When a drug and arms dealer (James...
