'Hatfields & McCoys': 5 things to expect from History's miniseries
3 hours ago | EW.com - PopWatch | See recent EW.com - PopWatch news »
Tonight, the miniseries Hatfields & McCoys, starring Kevin Costner and Bill Paxton as the patriarchs at the center of the great American family feud, premieres on History (9 p.m. Et). Here’s what awaits you:
1. A bullet-riddled history lesson. Most people have heard of “the Hatfields and the McCoys,” but if you don’t know their story, this three-night event will fix that. The basics: The Hatfields are from West Virginia and the McCoys are from Kentucky, separated by the Tug Fork River. At least according to the miniseries, Devil Anse Hatfield (Costner) and Randall McCoy (Paxton) fought side-by-side in the »

Emily Browning Up For Catherine Hardwicke's Plush
25 May 2012 1:06 PM, PDT | cinemablend.com | See recent Cinema Blend news »
Child actor turned gorgeous ingénue Emily Browning was poised to have a major breakthrough in 2011 with two envelope-pushing vehicles primed to throw her in the way for more mature roles. However critics sneered at both the Cannes-selected drama Sleeping Beauty and Zack Snyder's stylish but stupid action-adventure Sucker Punch. Since the big budget fantasy thriller tanked at the box office, its cast has been attempting to sneak out of the flick's shadow by taking on meatier roles in more grounded dramas. Jena Malone has signed on to front the Carson McCullers' biopic The Heart is a Lonely Hunter, while Oscar Isaac scored the title role in the Coen Bros upcoming period piece Inside Llewyn Davis. As Babydoll, the face of the failed action flick, Browning has had a tougher time shaking off the stink of Sucker Punch, but may now be out of the worst of it as »
Emily Browning Joins Plush
25 May 2012 8:19 AM, PDT | Upcoming-Movies.com | See recent Upcoming-Movies.com news »
Emily Browning proved to be one of the more eclectic actresses around with diverse roles from Zack Snyder's action fantasy Sucker Punch as an 18-year-old girl named Baby Doll (Browning) fighting her way out of a mental institution with the help of fellow inmates (Abbie Cornish, Jena Malone) to Australian director Julia Leigh's smart, adult drama Sleeping Beauty, about a young woman (Browning) who takes a job at a unique brothel. According to Variety, the 23-year-old Australian maintained her artful focus by joining Catherine Hardwicke’s Plush, about a psychic psychologist who reads patient memories in order to unleash past demons. Browning looked to join the film as a teenage patient with powers equal to her psychic doctor. Hardwicke co-wrote the drama with Artie Nelson with I.M.

Hatfields & McCoys TV Review – History
23 May 2012 11:00 AM, PDT | AreYouScreening.com | See recent AreYouScreening news »
Few stories in American history have such a strange dynamic of awareness and ignorance, and that fact alone gives Hatfields & McCoys the potential to set records for a mini-series that focuses on historic fact (as best they’re known). While virtually everyone knows about the dueling families, not many are truly familiar with all the details, or the seriousness of the feud’s escalation.
Beginning May 28th, History brings you a three-part event that takes you through the entire feud, from a time when the two patriarchs were friends, all the way to the U.S. Supreme Court’s intervention in the hostilities which had brought West Virginia and Kentucky to the brink of their own war.
As you might imagine (or at least, hope), being that the show is airing on History, the strength of the series comes from its commitment to accuracy. It’s hard to find fault »

Biopics With No Oscar Heat?
18 May 2012 7:01 PM, PDT | FilmExperience | See recent FilmExperience news »
Here at the Film Experience we probably complain too often about Oscar's absolute obsession with the biopic genre. One reason we hate this that we don't talk about much is that the films don't tend to age well. If you don't believe me try watching all the Oscar nominees from any particular year in a single lead acting or Picture category. Guarantee that 9 times out of 10 the bio in the mix is the one most likely to cure your insomnia.
Because of annual biographical awards love it's easy to forget early in each new film year that Oscar history is littered with bios that didn't catch on. I was just thinking about this because today is the Centennial of the Ty Cobb related Detroit strike. Cobb (1994), which you can watch on YouTube, was Tommy Lee Jones' chaser to his Oscar winning turn in The Fugitive. Come to think of »

Logan Marshall-Green Tapped To Play Tennessee Williams In Lonely Hunter
10 May 2012 12:19 PM, PDT | cinemablend.com | See recent Cinema Blend news »
Mississippi-born American playwright Tennessee Williams won acclaim for crafting such heartbreaking dramas as A Streetcar Named Desire, The Glass Menagerie and Cat on a Hot Tin Roof. His tales of lust, family conflict and Southern discomfort reflected his own life experiences, and now some of these will get the movie adaptation treatment in Lonely Hunter, a biopic about Williams' best friend, author Carson McCullers. Sucker Punch's Jena Malone will lead the production, playing the Southern author behind The Heart Is a Lonely Hunter. And Variety reports Prometheus's Logan Marshall-Green has signed on to portray her confidante and long-time friend, Tennessee Williams. The indie drama represents a grand opportunity for each.

'Prometheus' Star Logan Marshall-Green To Play Tennessee Williams In Carson McCullers Biopic 'Lonely Hunter'
10 May 2012 7:43 AM, PDT | The Playlist | See recent The Playlist news »
Actor Logan Marshall-Green is hardly a household name, but after paying his bills working in theater and various TV shows — most recently in TNT's canceled "Dark Blue" — he transitioned to movies. After a supporting role in "Brooklyn's Finest" and being one of the few bright spots in 2010's predictably banal "Devil," it's Marshall-Green's upcoming role in Ridley Scott's "Prometheus" that quickly earned him a spot on our list of 10 actors we're tipping for stardom. The actor's next turn will see him skip on genre fare and rely more on his theatrical acumen, as he is set to portray playwright Tennessee Williams in a new biopic.
Full Moon Flims have announced that Marshall-Green will play Williams in "Lonely Hunter," a biopic about Southern novelist Carson McCullers, who wrote "The Heart is A Lonely Hunter" at the ripe age of 23 and eventually lived for a few years in Paris where she »

Carson McCullers Biopic, ‘Lonely Hunter,’ Finds Its Tennessee Williams
9 May 2012 3:00 PM, PDT | FilmSchoolRejects.com | See recent FilmSchoolRejects news »
There’s been little chatter about Deborah Kampmeier‘s (Hounddog) biopic of classic American writer Carson McCullers, Lonely Hunter, since the filmmaker picked Jena Malone for the lead role last October, but a fresh press release now reports that a rising star has been selected to play Tennessee Williams in the film. Logan Marshall Green will play the writer, one of America’s most celebrated (if not the most celebrated) playwrights, in Lonely Hunter.

Green was last seen in Brooklyn’s Finest and Devil, but he’s already poised to break out this year – he’s got a co-starring role in Ridley Scott’s Prometheus. Kampmeier herself said, “Logan is amazing for Tennessee Williams. People think of him as a leading man but I think he’s also a character actor in »
