Worldview Nears $70 Million in New Coin (Exclusive)

16 May 2013 7:24 AM, PDT | Variety - Film News | See recent Variety - Film News news »

Worldview Entertainment is closing in on a four-year, $30 million credit facility with Comerica Bank, and has received a new $40 million equity infusion from its existing investors.

Deal nearly doubles the company’s existing capital base, and gives the “Devil’s Knot” production shingle more financing muscle to compete in an increasingly crowded indie sector.

Comerica, an active lender in the single-picture space, will provide coin that can be used for gap financing and to back up foreign presales and tax credits.

As more sales and production outfits have entered the independent film world in the past two years, it’s become increasingly important for producers to leverage their own capital sources to access the best talent and projects. Worldview’s chief executive officer Christopher Woodrow and chief operating officer Molly Conners typically select projects with budgets up to $50 million.

Worldview is producing Cannes title “Blood Ties,” screening out of competition, »

Al Pacino Confimed For David Gordon Green's 'Manglehorn,' Mandy Patinkin & Josh Gad Join Zach Braff Film

15 May 2013 3:34 PM, PDT | The Playlist | See recent The Playlist news »

It's been rumored for a while, but it looks like it's actually happening, per Deadline: Al Pacino and David Gordon Green are teaming up. As reported a while back, the unlikely duo are pairing up on "Manglehorn," which will see Pacino as "an eccentric man who tries to come to terms with a past crime that cost him the love of his life." While Pacino's been doing some solid work on HBO, it's a full decade since his last great big screen performance (in Christopher Nolan's "Insomnia"), so the team up with Gordon Green couldn't have come soon enough, especially as we're hearing good buzz on "Joe," his next film, with Nicolas Cage. Photography will get underway in October Meanwhile, Zach Braff doesn't just have his Kickstarter funding, he now has $10 million in other financing for his "Garden State" follow-up "Wish I Was Here," and is coasting towards production. »

Al Pacino to play title role in David Gordon Green's Mangelhorn

15 May 2013 3:47 AM, PDT | The Guardian - Film News | See recent The Guardian - Film News news »

Tale of quirky character troubled by a guilty past due to start shooting in Los Angeles this autumn

Al Pacino has signed up to play the title role in the drama Mangelhorn for Us film-maker David Gordon Green, according to the Hollywood Reporter.

Pacino will play Aj Mangelhorn, described as an eccentric man coming to terms with a past crime. The previously unheralded screenwriter Paul Logan has adapted the script from an idea he originally conceived with Green. The film, which is currently being touted to potential buyers at the Cannes film festival, is due to shoot in Los Angeles this autumn.

Since the turn of the century, Green has graduated (some might say regressed) from thoughtful small-town dramas such as George Washington and All the Real Girls to stoner comedies such as Pineapple Express and Your Highness, confusing many critics in the process. His latest film, Prince Avalanche, is »

Casting Couch: Al Pacino is David Gordon Green’s ‘Mangelhorn,’ Michael Peña is Re-Teaming With David Ayer, and More

14 May 2013 4:00 PM, PDT | FilmSchoolRejects.com | See recent FilmSchoolRejects news »

What is Casting Couch? It’s one stop shopping when it comes to casting news. It’s even better than shopping though, because it’s free. Today you can pay no money to find out what Olivia Wilde and Mark Duplass are teaming up on, as well as what Bill Hader’s first post-SNL gig might be. It looks like David Gordon Green’s turn back toward directing more dramatic movies again is starting to stick. THR is reporting that his next project is going to be a drama called Mangelhorn that’s about an eccentric man who’s trying to come to terms with the fact that a past crime has cost him the love of his life. More than that though, Mangelhorn is a drama that’s going to be employing one of the most celebrated dramatic actors of all time, because the trade’s report also says that Al Pacino has been attached »

'Pineapple Express 2': James Franco Wants Stoner Sequel to Happen

14 May 2013 1:05 PM, PDT | Moviefone | See recent Moviefone news »

James Franco and Seth Rogen were just yanking our chains when they released a fake trailer for “Pineapple Express 2” on April Fools' Day (see above). While the clip ended up being another promo for their upcoming apocalypse comedy “This Is the End,” it turns out that that spoof wasn't just wishful thinking. Franco revealed in a recent interview that he and Rogen very much want to make a follow-up to “Pineapple,” the beloved 2008 comedy, which starred the pair as stoners whose love of weed takes a dark turn after they witness a murder. A reporter for GQ asked Franco why there weren't any current plans for a sequel, and the actor had this to say: “As far as why ‘Pineapple Express 2' has not been made for real, I don't know what the holdup is. I would do it, Danny [McBride] would do it, Seth [Rogen] would do it. I think Seth »

Which Movie 'Sucks,' According To James Franco?

14 May 2013 12:58 PM, PDT | Huffington Post | See recent Huffington Post news »

No one will ever accuse James Franco of sugarcoating things after he admitted that at least one of his movies "sucks."

The 35-year-old graces the cover of GQ's June 2013 issue, and he got quite candid with the magazine about his image and career.

"My public persona is something that is only partially constructed by me, so if people want to mock that, it's fine. I mock it," he told GQ.

And his persona is not the only thing he's open to mocking. The Oscar-nominated actor is well aware that not every project he's worked on has been a good one. "'Your Highness'? That movie sucks," he admitted. "You can't get around that."

Franco's comments likely won't sit well with the film's director, David Gordon Green, who referred to the film as his "baby" and seemed pretty proud of his work when he spoke to HuffPost Entertainment in April: »

Al Pacino To Star In David Gordon Green's Drama Mangelhorn

14 May 2013 12:55 PM, PDT | cinemablend.com | See recent Cinema Blend news »

After flops like Your Highness and The Sitter, director David Gordon Green desperately needed to turn things around. He's doing just that by returning to his roots, creating smaller, smarter movies like Prince Avalanche, which won praise at Sundance, and the upcoming Joe, which appears to show a side to Nic Cage we've never seen before. While the former preps for its theatrical debut, and the latter waits for a release date announcement, Green is barreling onto a third venture, this one starring Al Pacino. THR reports Pacino has signed on to star in Mangelhorn, a drama based on a short story by David Gordon Green and screenwriter Paul Logan. Fittingly, the Academy Award winning star who has made a career out of playing anti-heroes and charismatic criminals will portray the title character A.J. Mangelhorn, an eccentric old crook struggling to come to terms with a crime he committed »

Al Pacino signs on for David Gordon Green's 'Manglehorn'

14 May 2013 12:26 PM, PDT | Hitfix | See recent Hitfix news »

When that fake list of Cannes titles went up a few weeks back, just a day or two before the official line-up was unveiled, I was hoping one particular title was true: David Gordon Green's "Joe." Alas, it wasn't. The film stars Nicolas Cage and Tye Sheridan (hot of an amazing performance in "Mud," directed by Green's former North Carolina school mate Jeff Nichols) and it's part of what I feel is a new period for Green as an artist, taking what he's learned (and the relationships he's built up) to date and finding more fertile creative territory.

Watch: 2 Espn Ads Directed By David Gordon Green & Roman Coppola's Windows Phone Commercial

13 May 2013 1:53 PM, PDT | The Playlist | See recent The Playlist news »

Commercials can allow filmmakers to keep their muscles toned and play with a decent budget, and they can make some pretty decent money for themselves in the process. It's an attractive offer for those who might be waiting for their next feature to line up, or just looking to keep the skills honed between gigs. The ad circuit has been attracting high-caliber talent for a long time; the likes of Joe Wright for Chanel, Wes Anderson for Hyundai and Nicolas Winding Refn for Yves Saint Laurent. Now a couple more filmmakers familiar with the promo world have some new material to show off. First up, David Gordon Green -- who has "Prince Avalanche" on the way to theaters -- has dropped two quick spots for Espn. Not much to say about them, except that he delivers what viewers want from those kind of things. Remember a few weeks about when »
