Demme Helms New Shawn/Gregory Project
28 February 2012 7:30 PM, PST | Dark Horizons | See recent Dark Horizons news »
Nearly two decades after they shook up the art house cinema world with cult classics "My Dinner With André" and "Vanya on 42nd Street", creators Wallace Shawn and André Gregory are re-teaming for a new project which Jonathan Demme ("The Silence of the Lambs," "Rachel Getting Married") will direct reports The New York Times.
The sub-$1 million film is being described as an adaptation of Ibsen’s “Master Builder", the story of an architect (Shawn) increasingly caught up in his own fantasies. Julie Hagerty will star as his wife, Lisa Joyce as his young admirer and Gregory as an aging employee of the architect.
Both Shawn or Gregory had issues with the original translation and went back to the original Norwegian text. With the help of an Ibsen scholar, Shawn carefully translated the play himself and made "cuts and changes of emphasis and interpretation".

Wallace Shawn and Andre Gregory Reunite to ‘Shoot Ibsen’ With Jonathan Demme
28 February 2012 4:05 PM, PST | The Film Stage | See recent The Film Stage news »
Is it even possible that a more interesting group will coalesce during this week? I’m going to go ahead and say “no.”
Per a report in The New York Times, we can tell you that Wallace Shawn and Andre Gregory — best known for their Louis Malle-directed My Dinner with André and Vanya on 42nd Street — will reunite for a third (and possibly final) time on Wally and André Shoot Ibsen, their experimental adaptation of Henrik Ibsen‘s play, The Master Builder. Directing it all? Mr. Jonathan Demme.
The project found a genesis when, as Shawn claims, he and Gregory set out about 14 years ago to put their own spin on this story. All this time was necessary, seeing as the former took the time to translate the original Norwegian text into English, make some “adapting” choices where he saw fit, and then stage it with his frequent partner for personal friends. »

Jonathan Demme To Direct 'My Dinner With Andre' Reunion 'Wally And André Stage Ibsen'
28 February 2012 10:03 AM, PST | The Playlist | See recent The Playlist news »
Even his detractors must admit that there's a glorious unpredictability in watching the career of Jonathan Demme. In the last decade alone, he's directed two remakes of 1960s classics, documentaries on Neil Young, Haitian activist Jean Dominique and former President Jimmy Carter, indie drama "Rachel Getting Married," episodes of TV series "A Gifted Man" and "Enlightened," and, on the way, an animated adaptation of Dave Eggers' "Zeitoun" and Stephen King time-travel thriller "11/22/63." But his next film? It's something even more unexpected.
The New York Times reports that Demme is teaming up with theater legends Wallace Shawn and André Gregory, who each starred in Louis Malle's "My Dinner With André" and "Vanya On 42nd Street" (the latter of which Gregory co-directed), on a new film entitled "Wally And André Shoot Ibsen," which will shoot in New York in the spring.

Mia Farrow Must-See Photo Tweet: Rick Santorum Bores Kids
4 February 2012 7:48 PM, PST | Alt Film Guide | See recent Alt Film Guide news »
Rick Santorum puts kids to sleep Mia Farrow is a frequent Twitter tweeter. Earlier today, for instance, Farrow expressed her disgust at the Chinese and Russian governments' decision to veto United Nations sanctions against Syria, where the Bashar al-Assad regime reportedly massacred hundreds of people in the city of Homs. On the homefront, Farrow posted a picture she called "a gem" (via the website Think Progress). Regarding the picture (see above), Farrow's tweet reads: "See children's choir literally passing out from boredom during [Republican presidential candidate Rick] Santorum [Florida] speech." Despite a movie career that includes almost fifty films during the course of nearly five decades, Mia Farrow not only has never won an Oscar, she has never been even nominated for one. that's quite surprising, considering her movie credits. Among those are Roman Polanski's Rosemary's Baby (1968), with John Cassavetes; Peter Yates' John and Mary (1969), with Dustin Hoffman; Jack Clayton's The Great Gatsby »
