Daniel Radcliffe's 'Step-By-Step' Process For Steamy Gay Love Scene
19 May 2013 8:10 AM, PDT | Huffington Post | See recent Huffington Post news »
In "Kill your Darlings," slated for release later this year, Daniel Radcliffe plays Allen Ginsberg, who befriends writers William Burroughs and Jack Kerouac while in college. The "Harry Potter" veteran, 23, didn't shy away from exploring his character's bisexual side in the movie, which is based on a true story of a murder that entangles the three writers.
On next week's episode of "The Graham Norton Show," Radcliffe reveals how director John Krokidas gave him "step-by-step instructions," including kissing critiques, before the controversial gay sex scenes were shot.
“I was doing a gay sex scene and the director was giving step-by-step instructions," Radcliffe toward Norton, as quoted by Pink News. "And the favorite note I have ever had was when we were kissing and the director shouted, ‘Not like that. Crazy sex kissing!’"
"The Graham Norton Show" airs stateside on BBC America Thursdays at 10. »

Kate Bosworth loves cooking shows
16 May 2013 8:01 PM, PDT | Monsters and Critics | See recent Monsters and Critics news »
Kate Bosworth loves cooking shows. The 30-year-old actress is obsessed with whipping up dishes and gets her inspiration from 'Top Chef' and 'Chopped'. She told People magazine: 'I love all of the cooking shows like 'Chopped' and 'Top Chef'. I've just started to learn in the last couple of years and I love it. My specialty is a sausage ragu, it takes about six or seven hours to cook. That's almost my mini-vacation, cooking with my fiance Michael [Polish] and his daughter and just having family time.' Kate was previously in relationships with Orlando Bloom and Alexander Skarsgard before she romanced Michael. The pair met on the set of 'Big Sur' - based on the autobiographical novel of Jack Kerouac »
Robert Redford On What Keeps Him Going At 76
15 May 2013 10:27 AM, PDT | Huffington Post | See recent Huffington Post news »
Special From:
“I work because I want to work,” says Redford, now 76. “Work keeps me going.”
By Barbara Lovenheim
When I interviewed Redford in 1984 for his role in "The Natural," he was defensive about his image as a matinee idol and hesitant to talk with reporters because, he told me, “if you talk about an issue, what comes back is a description of what you’re wearing. Reporters only want to know how tall you are and if your teeth are capped.” Now 76, Redford has no reason to apologize for his appearance or his life; he has endured as a major talent for a very long time; he is still actively making films and starring in them, and he has turned Sundance into an important institute for independent filmmakers. He is now defying age and arthritis by working hard, playing tennis, skiing and riding horseback through miles of rugged country. »
DiCaprio and Luhrmann Shine, Emotional Essence Obfuscated in Latest Film Adaptation of Fitzgerald's Novel
10 May 2013 10:24 AM, PDT | Alt Film Guide | See recent Alt Film Guide news »
The Great Gatsby 2013: Leonardo DiCaprio and Baz Luhrmann shine bright, but story’s ‘small, sad truths’ lost in the glitz Baz Luhrmann’s The Great Gatsby is the best version of F. Scott Fitzgerald’s classic 1925 novel ever committed to the screen. But don’t get too excited. The bar is very low. The book has been made into three feature films, including a 1926 silent film regrettably lost, and one TV movie. The last big screen version was in 1974, a Jack Clayton-directed misfire that starred a lifeless Robert Redford in the title role. Here, the doomed personification of the money-solves-everything American thesis is played by a winning Leonardo DiCaprio who shines like an old-fashioned movie star. But shining even brighter than DiCaprio in this $127,000,000 production is, of course, its director. (Photo: Leonardo DiCaprio in The Great Gatsby.) For better or worse, Baz Luhrmann is a brand name, a »

Baz Luhrmann’s “The Great Gatsby” is busy busy busy
6 May 2013 11:58 AM, PDT | Hollywoodnews.com | See recent Hollywoodnews.com news »
For its first two thirds, Baz Luhrmann’s “The Great Gatsby” is busy busy busy with nary a minute to avoid an onslaught of stylized metaphors. People keep asking me Is it like “Moulin Rouge”? Well no, it’s not nearly as unruly because Luhrmann has to stick– more or less- to the F. Scott Fitzgerald text. He has a structure and a story and at some point he has to get with the program. And he does. The last third of his Gatsby is one of the most beautiful, moving films I’ve ever seen. And the first two thirds? They are a joyride through the director’s wild imagination. So we’ve got Leonardo DiCaprio as the mysterious and pained Gatsby, Tobey Maguire as the narrator Nick Carraway, Carey Mulligan and Joel Edgerton as Daisy and Tom Buchanan. And then are the secondary roles: Elizabeth Debicki making quite »

Tribeca: 'Big Joy' Filmmakers Celebrate the Life of Artist James Broughton (Q&A)
28 April 2013 12:23 PM, PDT | The Hollywood Reporter | See recent The Hollywood Reporter news »
New York -- James Broughton's mantra was "follow your own weird." Years before Jack Kerouac, Allen Ginsberg, or William S. Burroughs were starting the Beat Movement, artists like Broughton were already pushing the boundaries of art and literature during the postwar San Francisco Renaissance. In Big Joy: The Adventures of James Broughton, co-directors Stephen Silha, Eric Slade, and Dawn Logsdon take a celebratory approach towards the exploration of Broughton's life and work, which include such influential films as The Pleasure Garden (1953) and The Bed (1968). Through rare, archival footage and interviews with Broughton's friends and family members, including his last partner Joel Singer, his ex-wife Suzanna

Film Review: Visceral ‘On the Road’ Honors a Great American Novel
23 March 2013 5:06 AM, PDT | HollywoodChicago.com | See recent HollywoodChicago.com news »
Chicago – The 1957 novel “On the Road” by Jack Kerouac, was a missile across the bow of American social conventions, and a precursor to the radical 1960s. For over fifty years, it has eluded a film adaptation, until director Walter Salles (“The Motorcycle Diaries”) found the way to capture it.
Rating: 4.0/5.0
It is a reverential depiction, with all the familiar characters from the novel springing to life. And that is the key word here…life. This adaptation is life itself, which is what the novel embraces. Somehow, by just indulging in the characters and their lifeblood, Walter Salles – in partnership with his screenwriter Jose Rivera – was able to understand what makes this story tick. It is about youth, discovery and the consequences regarding all of that. It is about the relationship between two kindred souls, not part of a lost generation, but part of everything that is discovered when challenging the society they are born into. »

Garrett Hedlund has found it difficult to leave 'On the Road' behind.
22 March 2013 10:01 AM, PDT | Monsters and Critics | See recent Monsters and Critics news »
Garrett Hedlund finds it difficult to leave 'On the Road' behind. The actor and model 'immersed' himself in the works of Jack Kerouac, William Burroughs and Allen Ginsberg for five years before filming the adaption of Kerouac's cult novel - set in the 40s and featuring all three writers - and it has left a lasting impression on him. He said: 'It's not easy to leave 'On the Road' behind because I'm such a fan of the generation, such a fan of the material. 'After five years of reading the material and immersing yourself in the jazz, it's not like you want to deplete or delete that experience.' Garrett also met his girlfriend, Kirsten Dunst, on the set »
On The Road – The Review
21 March 2013 7:32 PM, PDT | WeAreMovieGeeks.com | See recent WeAreMovieGeeks.com news »
On The Road is an adaptation of Jack Kerouac’s autobiographical novel which is considered one of the greats but those who love the book will be unsatisfied with this film adaption and those who have not read it may wonder what all the fuss is about. In On The Road we first meet Sal (based on Kerouac and played by Sam Riley) in the 1940’s suffering from writer’s block and hanging out with his friend Carlo (based on Alan Ginsberg and played by Tom Sturridge) in various beatnik dives. Things turn around when he meets Dean Moriarty (based on Neil Cassady and played by Garrett Hedlund), a free spirit with a penchant for weed and three-way sex. They leave the city, along with Dean’s 16-year old squeeze Marylou (Kristen Stewart) to seek freedom, life, and love on the open road.

Interview: Director Walter Salles Takes Us ‘On the Road’
20 March 2013 8:44 AM, PDT | HollywoodChicago.com | See recent HollywoodChicago.com news »
Chicago – One of most important counterculture novels in American literature history is “On the Road,” by Jack Kerouac. First published in 1957, the film rights were purchased at the time, but it took over fifty more years to get it onto the screen. Director Walter Salles (“The Motorcycle Diaries”) took on the adaptation.
The history of adapting the book to film is as much of a journey as the characters take in the story. After late 1950s Hollywood couldn’t interpret the radical morality in the book (Marlon Brando was attached to play the lead role at one point), and the rights were reacquired by Francis Ford Coppola in the late 1970s. Problems with several screenplay versions occurred, and it wasn’t until the mid-2000s that the team that produced “The Motorcycle Diaries” – screenwriter Jose Rivera and director Walter Salles – took their own journey with the classic novel, and the »
