Jackie Chan’s Skiptrace Adds Bingbing Fan, Paranorman Director Sam Fell
6 May 2013 11:47 AM, PDT | Beyond Hollywood | See recent Beyond Hollywood news »
It looks like it’s full speed ahead for Jackie Chan’s latest American/Chinese co-production, the previously reported on action-comedy “Skiptrace”, with Exclusive Media announcing today that they’ve come onboard to produce and co-finance the film with Talent International. “Skiptrace” will be directed by Sam Fell (director of last year’s “Paranorman”), with Chinese actress Bingbing Fan (or Fan Bingbing, depending on who you ask), also coming onboard as, we assume, the female lead, though there’s no word on her character. Fan (pictured, left) was last seen in a gratuitous role in the Chinese cut of “Iron Man 3″. Up next, the casting of a “mouthy American” to star alongside Chan. Saw that coming, dincha? The plot for “Skiptrace” is your standard Jackie Chan Goes to Hollywood movie (aka the “Rush Hour” and “Shanghai Noon” films), and depending on how you feel about that, it’s either »

22 February 2013 1:29 PM, PST | WeAreMovieGeeks.com | See recent WeAreMovieGeeks.com news »
On Thursday evening at the Samuel Goldwyn Theatre in Beverly Hills, the Academy invited movie fans to join in the celebration of the work of this year’s Oscar nominees in the Animated Feature Film category.

The nominees discussed how their films were developed, talked about their creative processes, and presented clips illustrating their techniques. All were adamant in saying that animated films are not cartoons and that there is place for both stop-motion and CGI in the genre.
The Animated Feature Film nominees are:
Mark Andrews and Brenda Chapman
This is the second nomination for Mark Andrews and the first in this category. He made his feature directorial debut with Brave.

The Most Competitive Race On Oscar Night?
22 February 2013 5:01 AM, PST | Huffington Post | See recent Huffington Post news »
Beverly Hills, Calif. -- In the animated feature film category at this year's Oscars, there's a film set in medieval Scotland, another that features old-school video game characters, one that relies heavily on dry British humor, while the other two take inspiration from the supernatural.
It's not exactly kid stuff – and that's how the directors like it.
"I think this year with these films – and so many more – the envelope for animation is being pushed," said "Brave" director Mark Andrews at an Academy Awards event Thursday night honoring the animated feature film nominees. "We keep seeing more risky, deep films that we wouldn't have seen 10 years ago coming out. I wanna be one of those guys pushing it more and more and more because it's not only an awesome medium, but there's so many more stories that we can tell."
