Production Starts on Erotic Thriller Therese with Elizabeth Olsen and Graphic Novel Adaptation The Scribbler Starring Katie Cassidy
9 May 2012 3:51 PM, PDT | Collider.com | See recent Collider.com news »
Principal photography has started today on a couple of interesting productions. Here they are at a glance: Therese, formerly known as Therese Raquin, is an erotic thriller starring Elizabeth Olsen (Martha Marcy May Marlene), Oscar Isaac (Drive), Tom Felton (Rise of the Planet of the Apes) and Jessica Lange (American Horror Story). Graphic novel adaptation, The Scribbler, also started production with Katie Cassidy (Taken) set to star. Hit the jump for much more on both projects. Based on Emile Zola's sensational novel, "Therese Raquin," Therese is set to film in Belgrade, Serbia and Budapest, Hungary. Olsen stars in the 1860s Paris-set thriller as the titular character, a beautiful but sexually repressed young woman trapped in a loveless marriage with Camille (Felton), her sickly cousin.

Production has begun on Therese, an erotic thriller based on Émile Zola's scandalous novel, Therese Raquin. Filming is taking place in Belgrade, Serbia and Budapest, Hungary.
Set in the lower echelons of 1860s Paris, Thérèse Raquin (Elizabeth Olsen), a sexually repressed and beautiful young woman, is trapped in a loveless marriage to her sickly cousin, Camille (Tom Felton), by her domineering aunt, Madame Raquin (two-time Oscar, SAG, Emmy and Golden Globe winner Jessica Lange).

After she meets her husband's alluring friend, Laurent (Oscar Isaac), she embarks on an illicit affair that leads to tragic consequences.
Rounding out the cast of Therese are Shirley Henderson, John Kavanagh, Mackenzie Crook, and Matt Lucas.
Directed and written by Charlie Stratton, Therese is produced by Mickey Liddell, CEO of Ld Entertainment, »

First Clip from Cheerful Weather For The Wedding with Felicity Jones
30 April 2012 8:00 AM, PDT | HeyUGuys.co.uk | See recent HeyUGuys news »
Felicity Jones is one of the finest young actresses from the UK to rise in recent years, and it’s always good news to hear about her upcoming projects.
Cheerful Weather for the Wedding marks Donald Rice’s feature directorial debut, co-writing the script with Mary Henely-Magill (also making her debut), and sees Jones starring as the young lead in 1930s England:
“England, 1932. Today is the wedding day of Dolly Thatcham, and her family is arriving at the manor house with all the cheerfulness, chaos and grievances that bubble to the surface at such gatherings. Trouble soon appears in the shape of Joseph, Dolly’s lover from the previous summer, who throws her feelings into turmoil. Dolly’s mother will not allow her carefully laid plans for her daughter’s future to be threatened, and as the clock ticks, the bride can’t decide whether to run away with Joseph »

[Tribeca Review] Cheerful Weather for the Wedding
24 April 2012 8:30 AM, PDT | The Film Stage | See recent The Film Stage news »
Many films focus on the proposal, the engagement, the planning or the actual wedding, but few take a look at the anxious hours in anticipation of the holy matrimony. In the UK production Cheerful Weather for the Wedding, this anxiety is weighty, as an unrequited romance is lamented between the bride Dolly (Felicity Jones) and fleeting companion Joseph (Luke Treadaway). Making his feature debut, director Donald Rice has created a pleasant portrait of attachment and its effects, with a main relationship that is a breeze to become invested in.
“A short engagement makes for a long marriage,” remarks Dolly’s mother (Elizabeth McGovern), one of the many family members scurrying about this mansion. Despite a passionate previous summer with Joseph, told in smartly structured warm-colored flashbacks, Dolly is set to marry another man whom she only recently committed to on this March day, captured with a cold palette.

The Playlist's 15 Most Anticipated Films Of The 2012 Tribeca Film Festival
16 April 2012 7:02 AM, PDT | The Playlist | See recent The Playlist news »
This year's Tribeca Film Festival carries one of its strongest line-ups in years. In addition to films from Cannes, Venice, Toronto, Sundance and Berlin circuit, there's also a wealth of U.S. premieres or lesser-known festival movies in the line-up that look just as promising this time around; after a relatively weak SXSW, it looks like the East Coast is getting some of the good stuff.
Below, you'll find 15 films that seem among the most intriguing Tribeca has to offer this year. Of course, we can't speak for their quality as yet, but they certainly look promising at this point at time. And for the record, we haven't included the high-profile opening and closing films -- "The Five-Year Engagement" and "The Avengers" -- partly because they're getting more than enough attention elsewhere, and partly because we've already seen both (although can't review them just yet -- keep your eyes peeled »

Northern Ireland's recent film boom a boost for tourism and the economy - Videos (IrishCentral)
27 January 2012 5:49 AM, PST | IrishCentral | See recent IrishCentral news »
Northern Ireland certainly hasn’t had it easy during the economic crisis of the past few years. However, the country’s financial doom and gloom is steadily being put behind them as they make way for the glittering world of film and television. Supported by Northern Ireland Screen, the government backed agency aims to maximise not only the educational side of the film industry, but also the financial rewards that this multi-million pound industry can bring. The group receives funding from the UK Film Council, Arts Council of Northern Ireland and European Regional Development Fund among others. This money is distributed for script and slate development as well as to get scripts for both films and TV into production. Advice is also on offer to those wanting to bring filming to Northern Ireland about where to film, permissions to film and employing local crews. Northern Ireland's biggest name to date is the hit HBO series, »
Spielberg Double Bill - The Adventures of Tintin: The Secret of the Unicorn (2011)
15 January 2012 2:31 PM, PST | Flickeringmyth | See recent Flickeringmyth news »
The Adventures of Tintin: The Secret of the Unicorn, 2011.
Directed by Steven Spielberg.
Starring Jamie Bell, Daniel Craig, Andy Serkis, Simon Pegg, Nick Frost, Toby Jones, Cary Elwes and Mackenzie Crook.
Synopsis:
Intrepid reporter Tintin and the surly Captain Haddock search for a sunken treasure ship commanded by Haddock’s ancestor, but what shady forces look to get their way?
Tintin is a visual feast; a wondrous exploration of the boundaries of computer animation and performance capture. The titanic creative forces of Spielberg, Peter Jackson, Edgar Wright (writer/director of Shaun of the Dead), Joe Cornish (writer/director of Attack the Block), and Steven Moffatt (executive producer of Dr Who) all converge on the great Herge source material and bring it to life in an almost indescribable way.
Let’s travel back for a second to the wake of Raiders of the Lost Ark in 1981. As Spielberg toured the »
