'Hemingway & Gellhorn's' Clive Owen: 'He was in my head every day'
just now | Zap2It - From Inside the Box | See recent Zap2It - From Inside the Box news »
Zap2it: Were you already a fan of Ernest Hemingway when you signed up to play him?
Clive Owen: I hadn't read that much. It started with Phil [Kaufman, the director] calling me and sending me the script. I pulled out of the next movie and immersed myself for months and months.
Zap2it: How did you research the writer?
Clive Owen: I traveled to Havana. When he died, his wife donated his house to the Cuban government, and it is locked down. His clothes, his records -- a lot of jazz -- his boots are in the closet.
Zap2it: What was it like in Cuba, where he is such an icon?
Clive Owen: The legacy he left is everywhere in Cuba. They so loved that he lived there.
Zap2it: What really struck you about him?
Clive Owen: His traveling was unbelievable for that time. He was 19 in Italy. »

'Hemingway & Gellhorn's' Nicole Kidman: 'I had no idea who she was'
1 hour ago | Zap2It - From Inside the Box | See recent Zap2It - From Inside the Box news »
The opening shot focuses on an old woman's strong, lined face. It is the unadorned visage of Martha Gellhorn, a trailblazing correspondent who covered the front lines when women didn't. Nicole Kidman portrays her, and Clive Owen is Ernest Hemingway in HBO's "Hemingway & Gellhorn," airing Monday, May 28.
With the sun pouring through the windows behind her, only Kidman's bright blue eyes bear any resemblance to that old woman. Kidman kicks off her Jimmy Choos as she sips cocoa, describing Gellhorn as "this brave, intrepid, passionate woman."
The movie took executive producer James Gandolfini six years to bring to the screen, and director Philip Kaufman, in his first movie for television, explores how the writers met, fell in love, covered the world's main events and fought until they had to split.
Robert Duvall shows up briefly as a fascist flunky who comes within seconds of a deadly duel with Hemingway. Tony Shalhoub and David Strathairn, »

TV Review: HBO’s Disappointing ‘Hemingway & Gellhorn’ with Clive Owen, Nicole Kidman
6 hours ago | HollywoodChicago.com | See recent HollywoodChicago.com news »
Chicago – It pains me to say this — HBO’s “Hemingway & Gellhorn” is a complete mess, a film littered with awful directorial decisions, built on a misguided screenplay, and featuring performances that range from mediocre to downright horrendous. I’m as big a cheerleader for HBO and their line of original films as you’re likely to find but this is one of the worst.
TV Rating: 1.5/5.0
It’s not merely that I so often love what HBO delivers (their current Sunday line-up of “Game of Thrones,” “Girls,” and “Veep” is one of the best two-hour blocks of television in years) but that the cast, crew, and subject matter of this 154-minute epic seems tailor made for me. I would say that Ernest Hemingway’s work is one of the reasons that I became an English major in college and that director Philip Kaufman’s “Invasion of the Body Snatchers” helped make me a film nut. »

Nicole Kidman Dedicates New Film To Marie Colvin
27 May 2012 7:01 AM, PDT | WENN | See recent WENN news »
Nicole Kidman has dedicated her new film about famed war reporter Martha Gellhorn to late journalist Marie Colvin, who was killed in Syria earlier this year.
The Australia star plays the writer in Hemingway & Gellhorn opposite Clive Owen as her husband Ernest Hemingway, and she premiered the movie at the Cannes Film Festival in France this week (ends27May12).
Kidman told reporters at the event that she is dedicating her performance to tragic Colvin, who died while covering the conflict in Syria in February.
She says, "I really see her (Colvin) as someone similar to Martha. These women are still rare and Martha was the first." »
Clive Owen Trapped In Elevator In Cannes
27 May 2012 7:01 AM, PDT | WENN | See recent WENN news »
British actor Clive Owen cancelled a number of appointments at the Cannes Film Festival this week (ends27May12) after he was trapped in an elevator with his daughters.
The Sin City star attended the French movie event to promote his new film Hemingway & Gellhorn with co-star Nicole Kidman, but the trip took a turn for the worse when he got stuck in a packed lift at the Hotel Majestic Barriere.
Owen was with his two young daughters Hannah and Eve and two people had fainted by the time they were freed, according to Britain's The Sun.
The actor then cancelled a number of press interviews so he could comfort his girls, who were upset by the ordeal.
When told of the incident, Owen's co-star Kidman told reporters, "I couldn't have been in there with my kids, how awful." »
PopWatch Planner: War arrives on 'Game of Thrones,' the return of Jon Stewart, and the MTV Movie Awards
27 May 2012 7:00 AM, PDT | EW.com - PopWatch | See recent EW.com - PopWatch news »
All season, HBO has been pointing towards tonight’s Game of Thrones with promos promising, “War is Coming.” Well, the Battle of the Blackwater commences tonight with an episode written by George R.R. Martin himself. I can’t decide whether this specific show’s timing — on Memorial Day weekend — is forgivably unfortunate or somehow appropriate, but it seems at home during a weekend of classic war films that’s then followed by a star-studded trip back to the Spanish Civil War and a reimagining of the Snow White fairy tale that almost looks influenced by Thrones.

Cannes: Philip Kaufman’s Master Class; Robert Pattinson’s New Movie
26 May 2012 10:29 PM, PDT | backstage.com | See recent Backstage news »
I spent my Friday afternoon at Cannes in a master class with legendary director Philip Kaufman ("The Unbearable Lightness of Being"). During the master class, French film critic Michel Ciment asked provocative questions, guiding Kaufman through his body of work. Clips were shown from a selection of his works including, "Goldstein," "The Great Northfield Minnesota Raid," The Wanderers," "Henry & June," and "Quills." Nicole Kidman and Clive Owen, who star in his new film "Hemingway & Gellhorn," were in attendance.Speaking about casting actors, especially those that are not well known, Kaufaman said you just "perceive something that tells you 'this man is great.'""Now, we were shooting a low budget film (“The Great Northfield Minnesota Raid”) for well under a million dollars up in Oregon during a rainy season, so we had no time for a rehearsal really," Kaufman explains. "[Robert Duvall] had read the script. I liked him. I was »

TV Review: HBO’s Hemingway & Gellhorn Is Silly and Smart
26 May 2012 8:23 AM, PDT | Vulture | See recent Vulture news »
"There's nothing to writing, Gellhorn," Ernest Hemingway tells journalist Martha Gellhorn, his lover and muse, in HBO's Hemingway & Gellhorn. "All you've got to do is sit down at your typewriter and bleed." The line would be easy to dismiss as Hollywood b.s. if it weren't an actual Hemingway quote, rephrased slightly by screenwriters Jerry Stahl and Barbara Turner, and spat out like a plug of chewing tobacco by the film's costar Clive Owen. Within minutes of Hemingway's pronouncement, which is meant to push Gellhorn (Nicole Kidman) past a bout of writer's block while she's covering the Spanish Civil War for Collier's Magazine, bombs fall on the city. Their hotel shudders under the impact. Hemingway gropes Gellhorn while shielding her body from shards of glass, and the two scribes end up naked on a bed, rutting hungrily while explosives flash in a window just beyond Gellhorn's upraised heels.Amazingly, Hemingway »

Maureen Ryan: HBO's Awful 'Hemingway And Gellhorn' Is Worse Than 'Sharktopus'
25 May 2012 12:21 PM, PDT | Aol TV. | See recent Aol TV. news »
Here's what you should do on Memorial Day weekend: Weather permitting, go outside. Party. Have fun with your friends and family.
But if you are stuck inside and in desperate need of "entertainment" that will make you laugh until you throw up, there's "Hemingway and Gellhorn" (9 p.m. Et on Monday, May 28 on HBO), which stars Clive Owen and Nicole Kidman. Now that the first season of "Smash" has ended, this is the best hate-watching fodder we'll probably have for many months.
Why is hate-watching the only realistic option? Because loving or even liking this expensive misfire is simply not possible. Even more than last year's turgid "Mildred Pierce," "Hemingway and Gellhorn" is a gigantic missed opportunity, a jaw-droppingly trying waste of time. Don't let the fancy names in the cast fool you: This is a stupid, stupid movie.
We don't hate-watch Syfy's Saturday movie offerings -- "Sharktopus," "Mansquito" and »

25 May 2012 7:55 AM, PDT | Popsugar.com | See recent Popsugar news »
Nicole Kidman chose a black-and-white checkered dress for her latest Cannes Film Festival look. She stepped out this morning for a photocall with Hemingway & Gellhorn costar Clive Owen after also promoting The Paperboy.

Nicole will be back in the spotlight later today when Hemingway & Gellhorn screens at the Grand Palais. Matthew will also return to the festival's famous carpet for Mud, which also stars Reese Witherspoon. Reese arrived in the South of France with her husband, Jim Toth, just yesterday and we can't wait to see the glamorous looks she chooses for her many events. Nicole, Reese, Zac, and Matthew may all be friendly at the festival, but they're in direct competition for the top spot in the PopSugar 100. Make sure to play the PopSugar 100 faceoff game »

Cannes 2012: Philip Kaufman Talks Tumultuous Romances and Trying Out TV With 'Hemingway & Gellhorn'
24 May 2012 1:13 PM, PDT | Indiewire Television | See recent Indiewire Television news »
It's been almost five decades since Philip Kaufman first came to Cannes with his 1964 debut "Goldstein," an indie comedy co-directed by Benjamin Manaster. In the time since, his varied work has encompassed wide-ranging themes, from the multiple Academy Award-nominated test pilot saga "The Right Stuff" to the 1978 sci-fi classic "Invasion of the Body Snatchers" to the Nc-17-rated period drama "Henry & June." This year, Kaufman returns to the festival with what's his first feature since 2004 -- "Hemingway & Gellhorn," a sprawling romance tracking the relationship between Ernest Hemingway (Clive Owen), already famous and twice married when the film starts in 1936, and Martha Gellhorn (Nicole Kidman), a tireless war correspondent in an era when being a female in the field was unheard of. The two have a tumultuous, fiery connection that begins when they travel to cover the Spanish Civil War and...

Annette Insdorf: Cannes Celebrates Philip Kaufman With Hemingway & Gellhorn
24 May 2012 10:36 AM, PDT | Aol TV. | See recent Aol TV. news »
It's no surprise that Philip Kaufman -- perhaps the most European of American filmmakers -- was drawn to the passionate story of Ernest Hemingway and war correspondent Martha Gellhorn. Kaufman is a consummate adapter of complex novels including The Unbearable Lightness of Being and The Right Stuff, as well as a portraitist of literary powerhouses like Henry Miller (Henry and June) and the Marquis de Sade (Quills).
Karen Ballard/HBO
Hemingway & Gellhorn is having a world premiere in the Official Selection of the Cannes Film Festival before its HBO broadcast May 28. Starring Clive Owen and Nicole Kidman as the feisty journalist who became Ernest Hemingway's third wife, it's a thematically ambitious, visually rich and superbly acted motion picture. (Kaufman is also being honored in Cannes with the invitation to give the "Master Class." Among those who have previously been accorded this prestigious presentation are Martin Scorsese, Krzysztof Kieslowski, and Stephen Frears. »

New Photos: Nicole Kidman & Clive Owen In 'Hemingway & Gellhorn'
23 May 2012 8:20 AM, PDT | The Playlist | See recent The Playlist news »
It's a shame Park Chan-wook couldn't get his English-language debut "Stoker" ready in time for Cannes but his leading lady, Nicole Kidman, has still managed to have two films appear on the Croisette this year. While everyone's been talking up her role in "The Paperboy," Kidman also stars opposite Clive Owen in HBO's "Hemingway & Gellhorn" which premieres there before airing next week on the cable channel.
The film follows the relationship between journalist Gelhorn and her writer husband Hemingway, from when they first met in a Florida bar in 1936 through to their divorce in 1945. The pair traveled to Spain together during the Spanish Civil War before marrying in 1940, but their relationship became strained. Gellhorn was the only one of his wives to ask Hemingway for a divorce, and later inspired him to write his novel, "For Whom the Bell Tolls."
We've got a pair of images from the film which »

Intruders DVD Review

Director: Juan Carlos Fresnadillo
Cast: Clive Owen, Kerry Fox, Daniel Bruhl, Ella Purnell, Carice Van Houten
Running time: 100 minutes
Certificate: 15
Extras: Deleted scenes, featurettes
Many horror fans may be approaching Intruders with stereotypical expectations in mind – young children tormented by nightmares that come to life. Well, those fans would be correct; except for the fact that the film lacks something at its core – an actual scary threat.
Clive Owen (Closer) plays John Farrow, a devoted father to Mia (Ella Purnell – Never Let Me Go) and husband to Susanna (Carice Van Houten – Game Of Thrones). However, things turn sour when Mia begins seeing the elusive Hollowface, a nightmarish vision who lives in her wardrobe. After installing security software in her room and then getting psychological help for Mia, John finds out that Hollowface may be there to see him instead. As the story unfolds, we find that John has a past with the mysterious figure, »
