Chapman brothers to film adaptation of The Marriage of Reason and Squalor
20 May 2013 9:10 AM, PDT | The Guardian - Film News | See recent The Guardian - Film News news »
Funding for screen version of Jake Chapman's 2008 novel, written and directed by the artist brothers, to be secured from the art world
The Chapman brothers, Jake and Dinos, are to become the latest British artists to transfer their work to the world of film with a planned feature-length adaptation of Jake's debut novel, The Marriage of Reason and Squalor.
Published in 2008, Chapman's book is a typically jagged satire of the paperback romance novel. The story centres on bride-to-be Chlamydia Love and her dalliance with the "devilishly unattractive" writer Helmut Mandragorass. The Chapmans plan to co-direct the film adaptation, for which they are currently writing a screenplay.
The Marriage of Reason and Squalor opens with Love gifted a desert island by her fiancee. Matters soon turn awry when the young woman develops a fascination with Mandragorass, the property's rightful owner. A battle begins over the island and, ultimately, Chlamydia's love. »

1 May 2013 11:43 AM, PDT | Popsugar.com | See recent Popsugar news »
Kate Moss was the life of the party in London last night! Along with her husband, Jamie Hince, mom Linda Moss, and friends like Stella McCartney and Rhys Ifans, Kate put on her finest '80s gear to mark the 50th birthday of their pal Fran Cutler at the Groucho Club. Fran, a PR executive, has been friends with Kate for years, and their many mutual friends helped pull off the surprise bash, which included many unique moments, from a This-Is-Your-Life-style presentation from Rhys and a set from Rita Ora. Rita was there with her Bff Cara Delevingne. 20-year-old Cara and 22-year-old Rita's social circles have overlapped with Kate's now that Rita is romantically linked to Kate's good friend Dave Gardner, who's also close with David Beckham. Rita and Cara both dressed up for the period theme, though Kate topped them all by pulling out a second ensemble for the afterparty at The Box. »

22 April 2013 10:41 AM, PDT | ScreenRant.com | See recent Screen Rant news »
Today marks day 53 of filming on The Amazing Spider-Man 2, and if you were a fan of the first film then you should definitely be following Marc Webb’s Twitter account. The director, returning to the rebooted franchise after the critical and commerical success of last year’s Amazing Spider-Man, and has been tweeting a new photo for every day of the shoot, which is taking place in Long Beach, NY and other New York locations. Many of Webb’s sneak peeks can be parsed to garner hints about what might be coming – though others appear to be false herrings.
Though it’s still possible that we’ll see the return of Rhys Ifans as Dr. Curt Connors some time in the future, Webb has a whole host of villains – both potential and confirmed – ...

Young British hero Andrew Garfield plays the legendary webslinger and his alter-ego Peter Parker as director Marc Webb offers a new spin on Stan Lee's comic-book creation.

Focusing on Peter's struggle to control his new abilities while dealing with life in high school, this lively reboot pitches for a slightly more romantic audience than Sam Raimi's dark and geeky trilogy. »

Movie Review - The Amazing Spider-Man (2012)
26 March 2013 4:37 AM, PDT | Flickeringmyth | See recent Flickeringmyth news »
The Amazing Spider-Man, 2012.
Directed by Marc Webb.
Starring Andrew Garfield, Emma Stone, Rhys Ifans, Denis Leary, Martin Sheen and Sally Field.
Synopsis:
Peter Parker is bitten by a genetically altered spider, which gives him a few of its attributes.
So... how's this one different from the last three? It's more "amazing". You can tell that already by the title. Like how the Hulk is "incredible" and the X-Men "uncanny."
You've got to be pretty ballsy throwing adjectives in titles like that - or a freak show promoter - because most of the time it falls short. Bearded ladies wear false face wigs more often than not. The Amazing Spider-Man simply opts for one made of CGI.
But besides from the title's "amazing", what has changed? Most effectively, Andrew Garfield plays Peter Parker. Nobody does scatty quite like him, and he has a broken, mumbled way of delivering lines that will »

Anna Friel is thinking of having her eggs frozen - to prolong her fertility. The 36-year-old actress already has daughter Gracie, seven, with ex-boyfriend David Thewlis but is keen to have more children when her current beau, 'Notting Hill' star Rhys Ifans, is ready to take on fatherhood. She revealed: 'I do want another child, but it's not something I want to rush into at his point in my life with Rhys. 'I think he would like his own child, but I'm not sure we're ready yet. I'm 36.

40 Potential 2014 Oscar Contenders: Part Four - 'Prisoners' to 'The Wolf of Wall Street'
7 March 2013 9:00 AM, PST | Rope of Silicon | See recent Rope Of Silicon news »
We have reached the final ten films in my 2014 Oscar Preview, which has been made up of 40 potential 2014 Oscar contenders and, as we all know, I'm sure to have missed more than a handful. However, I think today's batch has more than a few gems to keep an eye on, many of which made my list of most anticipated films of 2013. This list also includes the one movie of the entire 40 that has the best chance of being pushed to next year, but it would be foolish to leave it off until we know for sure. You probably know what film I'm talking about, but if you don't I'm sure the next paragraph will give it away. This final list of ten films begins with Prisoners from Incendies helmer Denis Villeneuve and starring Hugh Jackman and Jake Gyllenhaal alongside Melissa Leo and Viola Davis, next is Brad Furman's Runner, »
