Alfred Hitchcock led a life of intrigue and alleged perversion, with his penchant for working his leading ladies into the ground should they dismiss his advances explored in the excellent The Girl starring Toby Jones. Hitchcock instead focuses on the making of the director’s shocker Psycho (1960) taking particular care in dissecting the relationship with his wife Alma (Mirren), and star Vivien Leigh (Johansson). Sadly the unnecessary tangents the story takes result in a picture as misshapen as Anthony Hopkins prosthetic gut.

If Season 1 of Starz's stylish 1950s mob drama "Magic City" was about establishing the dynamic between suave Miami Beach hotelier Ike Evans (Jeffrey Dean Morgan) and his silent but brutal business partner, mobster Ben "The Butcher" Diamond (Danny Huston), Season 2 will be about blowing it up.
As the season opens on Friday (June 14), Ike is sitting in a jail cell after having been framed for a murder. He concludes he can no longer function with this association in his life, and he hatches a plan to rid himself of his glowering nemesis once and for all. It involves Ike's pride and joy, the Miramar Playa, along with Fidel Castro, the hotels and casinos in Havana, and a Chicago mob boss by the name of Sy Berman (Oscar nominee James Caan, "The Godfather"), who happens to be Ben's boss.
Once cleared of the charges, Ike puts his plan in motion.

Magic City Season 2 premiere date: Friday, June 17 at 9pm Et/Pt Back for its sophomore season, the sexy 1950s mob drama – Magic City – finds Miami’s Miramar Playa owner Ike Evans (Jeffrey Dean Morgan) in jail for murder and his family scrambling to make bail.

"Magic City" Season 2 premieres Friday, June 14 (9 p.m. Et on Starz), and Jeffrey Dean Morgan promises that the new year brings a story that's "darker, crazier and more vicious" than anything we saw last season (which featured blackmail, murder and voyeuristic sex acts on a weekly basis). Plus, Season 2 boasts Oscar nominee James Caan returning to his "Godfather" roots as a Chicago mobster whom Morgan simply describes as "a scary dude."
So what lengths will Ike Evans (Morgan) go to in order to rid his Miramar Playa Hotel of the mob and Ben “The Butcher” Diamond (Danny Huston)? And will his long-shot gamble tear the Evans family apart? Find out what Morgan told HuffPost TV to expect from "Magic City" Season 2 below.
Last time we saw Ike, he was in jail for murder, with State Attorney Jack Klein (Matt Ross) determined to throw away the key. Where does the beginning of Season 2 find him? »

Miami -- Miami Beach's resort hotels showed guests a tropical paradise when they were built in the 1950s, but just beyond the sunny facade was a shady, more dangerous world. Funded by the mob and crooked union bosses, the resorts attracted the rich, the famous and the powerful just as South Florida was undergoing rapid political and social change.
The upcoming sophomore season of the Starz network's period drama "Magic City" will again follow the denizens of one such resort, the fictional Miramar Playa Hotel.
Resort owner Ike Evans, played by Jeffrey Dean Morgan, had a seemingly perfect life that verged on collapse at the end of the first season, thanks to an ambitious state attorney, a sadistic mob boss and the fallout from the Cuban Revolution nearby. Now the show's writer and creator, Mitch Glazer, promises the new eight-episode season, which starts Friday, will pick up in early 1959 right »

Transplanted Brit writer-director Bernard Rose and Hollywood scion Danny Huston have enjoyed a long and fruitful relationship. Casting Huston in "Ivansxtc," a little-seen 2002 success d'estime that in many ways presaged the indie digital age, jump-started the would-be director's career as an actor. Huston keeps coming back for more, because with Rose he winds up doing his best acting. (Trailer below.) So far the two men have collaborated on four unfettered, unsupervised collaborations of micro-budget Leo Tolstoy adaptations, updated to modern La. "Ivansxtc" was the first ("The Death of Ivan Ilitch"), followed by relationship drama "The Kreutzer Sonata," about a wealthy man who falls for a concert pianist, and the upcoming "Boxing Day" ("Master and Man"), produced by Luc Roeg’s Independent and the BFI, which world premiered in Venice last year in advance of a UK late December opening. The well-reviewed film, which seeks U.S. distribution, will make its North American debut on. »

Tim Burton’s next film Big Eyes has been collecting quite the cast. The latest addition is Krysten Ritter, best known for her roles in Don’t Trust The B__ In Apartment 23 and Breaking Bad.
Ritter joins a cast that already includes Christoph Waltz and Amy Adams as artistic couple Walter and Margaret Keane, the creators of the pop culture ‘big eyes’ paintings of the 1950s and 60s. Krysten Ritter will play DeeAnn, a friend of Margaret Keane who encourages the housewife and true artist behind the paintings to come out of her shell and take credit for her work. Danny Huston also recently joined the cast as a gossip columnist.
Big Eyes is shaping up to be quite the film. Ritter definitely has that Tim Burton look – slim, dark and just this side of weird. She’s already done good work on TV, but has been limited in »

Is it still called typecasting if it's entirely based on the actor's looks? For instance, Krysten Ritter.s dark and pronounced features, combined with some of her past work, deem her fitting for the world of Tim Burton, and it.s surprising (at least to me) that the two haven.t worked together in the past. Then again, it could be because Burton consistently works with the same seven people in every film. His next project, the biographical drama Big Eyes, is breaking out of that mold, and Deadline reports Ritter has joined the film.s cast, which already includes Amy Adams, Christoph Waltz and Danny Huston. Not swayed by the cancellation of her sitcom Don.t Trust the B---- In Apartment 23, she took to Twitter after the news broke: .Over the moon!! It.s been a dream to work with Tim Burton! Dream big kiddies!. The titular Big Eyes »

Ritter, who was most recently seen as the title character in Don’t Trust The B____ In Apt. 23 and in Breaking Bad, will play DeeAnn, Margaret’s free-spirited friend who “tries to coax her to come out of her shy shell.”

Krysten Ritter has signed on to star in Big Eyes for The Weinstein Company and director Tim Burton.
The drama is based on the true story of painter Margaret Keane (Amy Adams) and her husband Walter Keane (Christoph Waltz), whose paintings of large-eyed children were incredibly popular throughout the 1950s and 1960s. While Margaret Keane actually created the paintings, her husband Walter was the marketing genius who also claimed to be responsible for the artwork himself.
Krysten Ritter is playing DeeAnn, a free-spirited friend of Margaret, who tries to convince the introverted artist to stand up for herself and claim the credit she truly deserved. Danny Huston also stars as an alcoholic gossip reporter.
Tim Burton is directing from a screenplay by Scott Alexander and Larry Karaszewski, who previously wrote the critically-acclaimed biopics The People vs. Larry Flynt and Man on the Moon. Production is scheduled to begin this summer. »

The Congress, the highly-anticipated follow up to Ari Folman's Waltz with Bashir, premiered last month at the Cannes Film Festival, and now Drafthouse Films alongside Films We Like plans to bring it stateside. The movie is a fascinating blend of live action and animation that adapts Stanislaw Lem’s classic short story, “The Futurological Congress”, and follows an aging actress desperate for work (Robin Wright) who takes one last job to support her disabled son (Kodi-Smit McPhee). Wright plays herself, and then is scanned into an animated world where the studio now owns her, but she will be forever young. Judging by the trailer, the movie looks like an absolute trip, and one I'm excited to take. Sadly, we'll have to wait until 2014 for the movie's theatrical/VOD release. Hit the jump for the press release and a new image from The Congress. The film also stars Jon Hamm, »

I know that it’s tough to get excited over a Tim Burton film nowadays, but take a look at the cast and crew for his upcoming Big Eyes: Christoph Waltz and Amy Adams! The writers of Ed Wood! And Johnny Depp is nowhere near it (yet)! Add to that another delicious character actor in Danny Huston (Hitchcock) and I think we can be cautiously optimistic on this one.
Danny Huston is reportedly in talks to join the cast of Big Eyes to play a “burnt-out, heavy drinking gossip reporter.” Is there any other type of gossip reporter? He’ll be appearing opposite Waltz and Adams as husband and wife team Walter and Margaret Keane, who made a big splash with ‘big-eye’ portraits in the 1950s and 60s. The relationship began to fall apart, however, when arguments surfaced about who was actually doing the art work, and who was taking all the credit. »
