Sympathy for Mr. Vengeance Remake Moves Forward with Producer Lorenzo Di Bonaventura
20 May 2013 1:33 PM, PDT | MovieWeb | See recent MovieWeb news »
A remake of director Chan-wook Park's 2005 thriller Sympathy for Mr. Vengeance is moving forward at Silver Reel, Lotus Entertainment, producer Lorenzo di Bonaventura's Di Bonaventura Pictures, and Cj Entertainment.
We reported back in 2010 that Warner Bros. had acquired a screenplay for the remake, written by Brian Tucker (Broken City). The writer is still on board the project, but it is not known if Warner Bros. is still involved or not.
The original Sympathy for Mr. Vengeance followed a deaf-mute who gets robbed when trying to come up with money for his sister's operation. This new English-language version centers on two grief-stricken men, both of whom have suffered recent losses in their life, who are hell-bent on getting revenge.
Lorenzo di Bonaventura and Mark Vahradian are producing, with Claudia Bluemhuber, Bill Johnson, Jim Seibel, Jacob Pechenik and Gero Bauknecht executive producing. No production schedule was given.

Blu-ray Review: Ambitious ‘Cloud Atlas’ Falls Just Short of Heights to Which it Reaches
16 May 2013 7:36 PM, PDT | HollywoodChicago.com | See recent HollywoodChicago.com news »
Chicago – There’s a large part of me that wants to wholeheartedly recommend and embrace “Cloud Atlas” for two reasons. One, it’s based on arguably the best book of the millennium so far, David Mitchell’s stunning masterpiece. And if more people see the movie, more are likely to read a book that everyone should experience. Two, I do agree with those who love the film that Hollywood doesn’t take risks like this often enough, and if we don’t encourage risks, we won’t get rewards. However, “Cloud Atlas” still frustrates me more than it thrills me. Maybe the book was simply un-adaptable as so many have theorized. But I think mistakes were made on top of the inherent difficulty in Mitchell’s novel.
Rating: 3.0/5.0
I stand by what I said in my theatrical review, “It comes down to this — “Cloud Atlas” is a book that possibly »

Terry Gilliam Will Be In Jupiter Ascending
16 May 2013 12:12 PM, PDT | EmpireOnline | See recent EmpireOnline news »
He may be best known as the anarchic animator, writer and director responsible for such movies as Monty Python And The Holy Grail, The Fisher King, Brazil and Twelve Monkeys, but Terry Gilliam is not above gracing the screen with his acting presence when the moment (and, more usually, friends) call for it. He’s hit Facebook to announce that he’ll be part of the Wachowskis’ Jupiter Ascending.Gilliam offered no details on what he might be doing in the film, beyond remarking that he’ll be in a “small but vital part”.Jupiter Ascending finds the Wachowskis back in big-scale sci-fi territory, set in a universe where humans are near the bottom of the evolutionary ladder. But destitute young woman Jupiter Jones (Mila Kunis) is destined for something greater – and that brings an assassin hired by the Queen of the Universe, none too happy that her reign is under threat. »

Cloud Atlas Blu-ray Review
13 May 2013 11:53 AM, PDT | TheHDRoom | See recent TheHDRoom news »
I'm sitting here in front of my laptop trying to distill my opinion on Cloud Atlas into around 500 or so words, and that may well be an impossible task.
Cloud Atlas is not a film that fits neatly into a "good" or "bad" category. It doesn't fit into a particular genre, and it doesn't conform to anything that can be considered a recognizable formula. I don't know how to judge it on its artistic merits; I don't know how to judge it on the levels on which it succeeds or fails.
I find myself only able to judge it based upon the scope of its ambition and the emotions and feelings it intended me to feel, and on that level it is a movie that stands entirely alone.
Good or bad, Cloud Atlas is the most ambitious movie of the 21st century - it may not merit either praise or disdain, »

Who is the Puff Ball on the Set of the Wachowskis' 'Jupiter Ascending'?
24 April 2013 2:15 PM, PDT | Rope of Silicon | See recent Rope Of Silicon news »
I was just sent this behind the scenes picture from the set of Lana and Andy Wachowski's now-filming Jupiter Ascending and while the picture on the right is clearly Channing Tatum, who is the puff ball on the right? Guesses based on who else is in the cast would include Sean Bean, Eddie Redmayne, Douglas Booth, James D'Arcy or Tim Pigott-Smith. Then again, I guess it could also be Tatum, but it doesn't look like it to me. Jupiter Jones (Mila Kunis) was born under a night sky, with signs predicting that she was destined for great things. Now grown, Jupiter dreams of the stars but wakes up to the cold reality of a job cleaning toilets and an endless run of bad breaks.

Doona Bae Reteams With The Wachowski Siblings For Jupiter Ascending
19 April 2013 1:45 PM, PDT | cinemablend.com | See recent Cinema Blend news »
South Korean actress Doona Bae has been steadily stepping into the international spotlight. An earlier collaborator with writer-director Bong Joon-ho, she starred in his first feature film Barking Dogs Never Bite back in 2000. Later, the pair reteamed for his breakout monster movie The Host, and in between, she snagged a memorable role in Park Chan-wook's Vengeance Trilogy as the anarchist girlfriend in Sympathy for Mr. Vengeance. These appearances earned Bae stardom in her native land as well as the notice of foreign cinephiles who had latched onto South Korea's emerging cinema. But last year brought her biggest international role to date, when Bae appeared alongside such major Hollywood stars as Tom Hanks and Halle Berry in Andy and Lana Wachowski's sprawling science-fiction epic Cloud Atlas. Like much of the film's cast, Bae played a handful of roles, but most notably, she portrayed reluctant revolutionary Sonmi-451, impressively holding her own »

Jupiter Jones (Mila Kunis) was born under a night sky, with signs predicting that she was destined for great things.

Only when Caine (Channing Tatum), a genetically engineered ex-military hunter, arrives on Earth to track her down does Jupiter begin to glimpse the fate that has been waiting for her all along—her genetic signature marks her as next in line for an extraordinary inheritance that could alter the balance of the cosmos.
Sounds like it will be yet another awesome Wachowski movie! They always manage to make visually stunning movies, and I'm excited to see what this one ends up looking like. »

The Wachowski's Jupiter Ascending Begins Filming; First Synopsis Revealed
15 April 2013 11:51 AM, PDT | Cinelinx | See recent Cinelinx news »
The next film from The Wachowski Siblings (The Matrix trilogy, Cloud Atlas), the Science Fiction film Jupiter Ascending, has officially began production and Warner Bros has released the first synopsis of the film, giving us our first look at the story.
I've always been a fan of the Wachowski's films. I think they're amazing storytellers and I'm so disappointed that Cloud Atlas didn't do as well as it should have in the theaters. Alas, this is the way the film industry goes, especially when it comes to such esoteric fare as Cloud Atlas. Regardless, their next film, Jupiter Ascending, should have some more mass appeal to movie-goers as it's a full on science fiction film. Warner Bros. has issued a press release this morning announcing that cameras have started rolling on the film, and we've got our first synopsis for the movie (it's been underlined):
