Central Europe Jumps Onto Incentives Bandwagon
14 May 2013 7:00 AM, PDT | Variety - Film News | See recent Variety - Film News news »
In the 10 years since Hungary introduced its production incentives, it has emerged as the leading country in Central and Eastern Europe in the race to pursue Hollywood blockbusters and upscale TV series.
Boosted by the 20% tax rebate, the local biz has been further strengthened by the opening of production facilities, such as Korda Studios, Stern Film Studio and Media Center, and Raleigh Studios.
For Hollywood producer Andy Vajna, who is also the Hungarian film commissioner, it is not just a question of price. “There’s always a cheaper place, no matter what you do,” he says. “So what we have to strive for is to be competitive on price, but unmatchable in quality.” Productions in Hungary this year include Brett Ratner’s feature “Hercules” for MGM-Paramount, and two TV series — NBCU’s “Dracula” and the pilot of HBO’s Cold War thriller “The Missionary,” in which Hungary doubles for East Berlin in the 1960s. »

Good afternoon!
Happy birthday to Lena Dunham and Samantha Morton!
The New York Times wrote a great article about the brilliance of Grey’s Anatomy creator Shonda Rhimes. The piece, "Network TV Is Broken. So How Does Shonda Rhimes Keep Making Hits?", starts out with this stellar quote from Rhimes (to the Scandal writing staff), “I love that the gay White House chief of staff is threatening to pretend the first lady is a closeted lesbian, it is so wrong. In the best way.”

Noomi Rapace Will Be Alive, Alone
13 May 2013 12:42 PM, PDT | EmpireOnline | See recent EmpireOnline news »
After fending off rampaging Engineers and dealing with chestburster issues in Prometheus, then blackmailing Colin Farrell in Dead Man Down, you’d think Noomi Rapace would enjoy a film where she gets to watch horses running in a field or have a lovely cup of hot tea. Nope: she’s on for another dramatic thriller, signing on with Rust And Bone’s Matthias Schoenaerts for Alive Alone.Khurram Longi will make his directing debut with the film, which finds a woman on the run from a crime boss. She starts an unexpected relationship with a man who spent time as a “guest” at Guantanamo Bay. We don’t expect the relationship to be a particularly easy one.Longi wrote the script, which landed on both the Black List of praised scripts in Hollywood and the UK’s own Brit List. Filming is set to kick off next January in New »

Matthias Schoenarts & Noomi Rapace Are 'Alive Alone'
13 May 2013 11:10 AM, PDT | The Playlist | See recent The Playlist news »
It seems that Noomi Rapace is really into bro-ing out with buff, Euro actors and frankly, who can blame her? She's currently in the midst of doing back-to-back films with Tom Hardy -- "Animal Rescue" which went in front of cameras this past spring and the upcoming thriller "Child 44" -- and now she's gearing up for another movie with one of her 'Rescue' co-stars. Rapace will be teaming with rising star Matthias Schoenarts ("Bullhead," "Rust And Bone") for "Alive Alone," and it sounds pretty promising. Penned by Khurram Longi (who will also make his directorial debut on the picture), the 2007 Brit List approved script will chronicle "the relationship between an ex-detainee of Guantanamo Bay, and a woman who is on the run from a crime boss." It does have a very faint whiff of "Dead Man Down"-esque flavor to it, which we hope goes away, but any opportunity »

Bullhead star Matthias Schoenarts and Noomi Rapace are attached to play the leads in a thriller that focuses on the relationship between an ex-detainee of Guantanamo Bay, and a woman who is on the run from a crime boss.

Protagonist Pictures will sell territories in Cannes while CAA reps domestic rights.

Ben Affleck Makes Live By Night Official

Now that Ben Affleck has his second Oscar nom under his belt with Argo, the man certainly has options to choose from. A few months ago he was circling an adaptation of Dennis Lehane’s Live By Night and though it was always more or less a sure thing that he would be involved, now he’s made it official, agreeing to star in, write and direct the film. In fact, pre-production began today.
The film’s story is set during the Prohibition in Boston and focuses on Joe Coughlin, “the son of a cop who finds himself slipping into a life of organized crime. As he climbs the ladder of organized crime, he journeys from Tampa to Cuba, encounters various dames, lowlifes and more in tale of revenge and redemption.”

Dead Man Down – review

Reading on mobile? See the trailer here
The Danish director Niels Arden Oplev made the inspiriting We Shall Overcome, and crossed into Sweden to direct The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo. He has however been less successful in his American debut than his compatriot Nicolas Winding Refn was with the first-class thriller Drive. Dead Man Down is confident enough and begins intriguingly with Colin Farrell as a laconic loner in New York, winning the confidence of his boss, gangster Terrence Howard, who has been receiving menacing messages from an unseen ludic avenger. He's also spotted by a female neighbour (Noomi Rapace) going about his trade as a hit man and blackmailed into undertaking a contract on the drunk who scarred her in a motoring accident. Farrell is not what he seems, but what he turns out to be isn't particularly interesting.
Dead Man Down is a self-consciously dark movie that's »

Film review: Dead Man Down. Stop right there, lads – we’ve more than enough Scandinavian gloom, thanks

The original Swedish film of The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo was no masterpiece, but it turned Noomi Rapace into an international star, and it gave its director, Niels Arden Oplev, the pick of every screenplay in Hollywood for his English-language debut. He’s said that the script of Dead Man Down was by far the best of the 250 he read – so one can only imagine how dreary the other 249 were. »

I'm So Excited (15)
(Pedro Almodóvar, 2012, Spa) Javier Cámara, Raúl Arévalo, Carlos Areces. 90 mins
Almodóvar responds to his country's economic woes with camp hysteria and Carry On humour. In many ways this airborne disaster farce – anarchic, absurdist, garishly stylish and gleefully debauched – is a return to the Spanish auteur's subversive roots. But there's a serious subtext to the silliness, and the metaphors are brought back down to earth for a satisfying landing.
The Eye Of The Storm (15)
(Fred Schepisi, 2011, Aus) Charlotte Rampling, Geoffrey Rush, Judy Davis. 119 mins
The imminent death of Rampling's matriarch throws an aristocratic family's dysfunction into relief in this Aussie drama, whose overstuffed story is redeemed by three watchable leads.
Gimme The Loot (15)

Dead Man Down Review
3 May 2013 4:15 PM, PDT | www.themoviebit.com | See recent TheMovieBit news »
The first film from Niels Arden Oplev since the original The Girl With The Dragon Tattoo brought him to the notice of mainstream audiences in 2009, revenge thriller Dead Man Down marks his English language debut, as well a reunion with Noomi Rapace, the original Lisbeth Salander. The movie follows Victor (Colin Farrell), the right hand man to New York mobster Alphonse (Terrence Howard). While Alphonse deals with threat to him and his organisation, Victor has his own hands full with his neighbour, the disfigured Beatrice (Rapace), who has a video of him killing a man in his apartment. Beatrice threatens to give the video to the police unless Victor kills the man responsible for her scars. Even with an impressive cast, which also includes Dominic Cooper, and a scene stealing cameo form Armand Assante, Dead Man Down is a bit of a mess. An enjoyable mess, but still a mess. »

'Dead Man Down' review: Colin Farrell leads a ludicrous thriller
3 May 2013 9:34 AM, PDT | Digital Spy | See recent Digital Spy - Movie News news »
Director: Niels Arden Oplev; Screenwriter Jh Wyman; Starring: Colin Farrell, Noomi Rapace, Dominic Cooper, Terrence Howard; Running time: 117 mins; Certificate: 15
Just when you were thinking the north of Europe could do no wrong in the crime drama stakes, along comes Dead Man Down. Niels Arden Oplev's first film since The Girl With the Dragon Tattoo (2009) doesn't undo the good work of The Killing, Borgen, The Bridge et al, but it's without question a disappointment given that it's also Oplev's reunion with breakout Tattoo star Noomi Rapace. Despite its pedigree, this is a slapdash and intermittently ludicrous thriller.
Following last year's Total Recall, Colin Farrell takes another punt at recovering his lapsed action hero image in the role of Victor, a strong-but-silent henchman type with a tortured past. He's the right-hand man to a nasty New York crime lord Alphonse Hoyt (Terence Howard), whose ranks he has infiltrated with the »

Colin Farrell puts his best face forward in a pointless revenge thriller from the Dragon Tattoo director
Steven Spielberg is said to have watched the young George Clooney on television and said: "If that young man can stop moving his head around, he'll be a star." Someone, somewhere, appears to have told Colin Farrell: "If you can just keep your head, and indeed your entire dishy face, absolutely still, staring at some point to the left or right of the camera, lips slightly apart, you'll have a medium-sized career as a boring action lead from now until the end of time." It is hard to remember the funny and smart Colin Farrell – from, say, In Bruges – while watching this intensely pointless and silly action thriller. Farrell is required to reprise his smoulderingly, facially immobile routine as Victor, a New York gangster who's part of a crew run by alpha-male tough guy, »

Dead Man Down Review
3 May 2013 2:00 AM, PDT | HeyUGuys.co.uk | See recent HeyUGuys news »
With the success of the original The Girl With The Dragon Tattoo under his belt, plus the chance to work with leading lady Noomi Rapace once more, it was never going to be long before Danish director Niels Arden Oplev tried his hand at Hollywood revenge to further demonstrate his film-making skill.
More exciting is how Oplev could potentially channel some of that eerie, austere atmosphere of the 2009 hit film into this one, Dead Man Down, helped by one of cinema’s ever-brooding bad boys Colin Farrell who mirrors his turn in London Boulevard as self-reflective, man of few words, ex-con Mitchel, trying not to fall for the girl.
This time Farrell plays Hungarian Victor, a hired gun with an axe to grind much closer to home than his crime boss (played less than convincingly by Terrence Howard) would like or suspect. His chosen profession is sussed out by his disfigured but pretty neighbour, »
