Toronto Film Festival Announces 2009 Galas and Special Presentations

14 July 2009 10:37 PM, PDT | From FilmJunk | See recent FilmJunk news

The first wave of major titles for this year's Toronto International Film Festival [1] were announced yesterday, and there were certainly more than enough high profile picks to get people talking. Ricky Gervais's The Invention of Lying, Neil Jordan's Ondine and Nicolas Winding Refn's Valhalla Rising were among the world premieres unveiled for September, along with North American premieres of such films as Steven Soderbergh's The Informant!, Bong Joon-ho's Mother and Johnnie To's Vengeance. There was some controversy over the choice of Jon Amiel's Darwin biopic Creation as the festival opener -- not because of the subject matter, but rather because of the fact that this is the first time the fest will kick off with a non-Canadian film. It does seem like a bit of a strange choice, but how can you say no to Paul Bettany and Jennifer Connelly? Sundance hit Precious, Based

The 'Creation' of a New Tiff?

14 July 2009 | From ioncinema | See recent ioncinema news

- An indication that Atom Egoyan's Chloe will most definitely find a competition slot in Venice, Tiff has uncharacteristically went with a foreign English language title as the film festival's opening night selection. The spot usually reserved for a Canadian film went to Jon Amiel's unsold Creation which will have its world premiere on the 10th of September. Today's announcement of 23 titles confirms the a.) red carpet presence and early seat sale interest with names/faces like Matt Damon, Ricky Gervais, Clive Owen and Michael Douglas, b.) the latest from Bruno Dumont, Niki Caro, Neil Jordan and Tim Blake Nelson will not be receiving comp slots in Venice but will be part of the Special Presentations at Tiff instead, and c.) a sampling of adult fair titles (Solitary Man, Valhalla Rising, The Boys Are Back, Mao’s Last Dancer, Moloch Tropical, Cracks) that were perhaps not ready or

It's Pottermania! Harry Potter Stars Attend London Premier

8 July 2009 6:09 AM, PDT | From TheImproper.com | See recent TheImproper.com news

Daniel Radcliffe braved torrential rain and hail at the world premiere of “Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince” in London's Leicester Square last night (July 8). But co-star Rupert Grint had an even bigger problem; he thought he was going to die from swine flu! Yes, those crazy Potter kids are back and "Pottermania" is in full swing. The film's other stars Robbie Coltrane, Maggie Smith, Helena Bonham Carter, Michael Gambon, Bonnie Wright, Helen McCrory, Tom Felton, Jessie Cave, Evanna Lynch and Matthew Lewis attended the premiere as well. And, Clive Owen, Jamie Oliver, Graham Norton, Gordon Ramsay and Pixie Geldof also walked the red carpet.

Premiere Report: Potter Makes Passes...

8 July 2009 1:44 AM, PDT | From EmpireOnline | See recent EmpireOnline news

We can only assume it was the work of He Who Shall Not Be Named, or at least Death Eaters, but the heavens opened and the thunder thundered last night as the Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince premiere began in Leicester Square.Braving a sodden red carpet were all the stars of the film, including central threesome Daniel Radcliffe, Emma Watson, Rupert Grint and Bonnie "Ginny Weasley" Wright. They were joined by author Jk Rowling, and a host of stars including Clive Owen, Mark Strong, Damien Lewis, Gordon Ramsey, Jamie Oliver and Jamelia.Leicester Square was dressed up like a Quidditch pitch, with Hogwarts House colours wrapped around the trees and a host of youngsters in Quidditch gear, whose painted faces sadly ran in the rain. But what did the cast have to say about their latest film? Well, relatively little, since they kept getting distracted by other topics.

'Harry Potter' Returns to London for 'Half-Blood Prince' World Premiere

7 July 2009 8:54 PM, PDT | From Aceshowbiz | See recent Aceshowbiz news

Ending a two-year wait for its July release, "Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince" finally held its world premiere on Tuesday, July 7, in the United Kingdom. The red carpet event took place at Odeon Leicester Square, London, and despite the heavy downpours and hailstorms, it was flocked with thousands of "Harry Potter" fans.

Also undeterred by the bad weather were the film's cast which among whom included the trio of Daniel Radcliffe, Emma Watson and Rupert Grint. Coming to the special screening, Daniel wore stylish gray suit with pink shirt underneath, Emma was dressed in a vintage dress from '60s designer Ossie Clark, while the recovering from swine-flu Rupert was captured in a traditional black and white suit with a touch of pink in his belt.

Despite spotted drenched in the rain, all three still made time to pose for the press and greeted the awaiting fans. Talking to reporters on the red carpet,

The Cinematic Frank Lloyd Wright

7 July 2009 6:00 AM, PDT | From TribecaFilm.com | See recent Tribeca Film news

Architect Frank Lloyd Wright was an indisputable American master of his craft: Taliesin, the Robie House, Oak Park, Fallingwater - the list goes on. In New York, Wright's crowning glory is the spirally iconic Solomon R. Guggenheim Museum, found at 5th Avenue and 88th Street on Museum Mile. Wright's masterpiece has served as a backdrop in several films, most notably Woody Allen's Manhattan, Barry Sonnenfeld's Men in Black, and Sydney Pollack's Three Days of the Condor. Earlier this year, director Tom Tykwer used the museum to explosive advantage in the Clive Owen/Naomi Watts thriller The International. Since there was a climactic (and massive) shoot-out scene that took place in the museum's swirling atrium, the entire museum had to be rebuilt as a gigantic set. (Check out this behind-the-scenes video about the meticulous, six-week recreation process.) In anticipation of the Guggenheim's 50th birthday - being celebrated this

Hello there Boxwishers and welcome to another jam-packed week of movie-inspirations fun. Today we’re turning the tables on Johnny Depp’s bank robber John Dillinger and stealing His style with our look at the 1930s fashions from Public Enemies, and later in the week we’re soaking up the sun with Jennifer Aniston’s beach-ready style in Marley & Me. However, before we get to that, we’re rounding up today’s usual suspects and checking out what’s new on DVD. Along with the aforementioned doggie drama, there are jet-setting thrills in The International, religious recriminations in Doubt and Brit actor Tom Hardy’s transformation into the infamous prison inmate Charles Bronson in Bronson.

Sin City 2: Prequel, Midquel And Sequel???

3 July 2009 10:37 AM, PDT | From ScreenRant.com | See recent Screen Rant news

Alexis Bledel, that blue-eyed badgirl from Sin City recently talked to MTV News about the long, long, awaited sequel to Robert Rodriguez’s cinematic recreation of Frank Miller’s gritty, noir graphic novel series. Bledel didn’t know much, but had heard a rumor that a script for Sin City 2 was floating around and that her character, Becky, was in it.

But wait, Becky got capped at the very end of Sin City…

And so the plot thickens.

 

That was my best “noir lead-in,” like it?

Seriously though, Bledel didn’t spill much more than the fact that the script she’d heard about would require her to essentially come back from the dead -  unless of course the new batch of yarns being spun in Sin City 2 take place Before the ones in Sin City 1.

But unless you’re a big fan of the Sin City graphic novels (or paid really,

'Sin City 2' Could Be a Prequel

2 July 2009 11:56 PM, PDT | From Aceshowbiz | See recent Aceshowbiz news

"Sin City" actress Alexis Bledel has acknowledged the script for "Sin City 2" is completed and claimed that the movie is going to be a prequel. Talking to MTV News, the 27-year-old believes that the second movie could be a prequel after she found out that her character will make a return in the sequel.

"I don't know what their source was, but they said they read the second script," Bledel first addressed on the saying that the script for the sequel has been finished. The actress who plays a young prostitute named Becky then added, "Apparently, [I'm] back because it's a prequel. Because [I'm] supposed to die in the first one. But you don't see it, so maybe she doesn't."

The prequel scenes may likely come from Frank Miller's "A Dame to Kill For", which has been long rumored to be adapted into big screen. The novel itself tells an

Blu-Ray Review: Don’t Be Fooled By Action Promise of ‘The International’

17 June 2009 6:00 AM, PDT | From HollywoodChicago.com | See recent HollywoodChicago.com news

Chicago – The cover for the Blu-Ray release of Tom Tykwer’s “The International,” starring Clive Owen and Naomi Watts, sells the film as an action-packed thriller for a new era. There’s Clive with a deadly snarl, a gash on his face, and a firing gun. Don’t buy it. “The International” features some lovely settings, but it’s ultimately too dull to deliver.

Blu-Ray Rating: 2.5/5.0 Action always does extremely well on the home market. It’s always one of the most highly rented and bought genres of the year. Audiences are likely to be drawn to a movie like “The International”. My expectations were certainly high being a huge fan of Watts and Owen and liking a lot of director Tykwer’s previous work.

The International was released on Blu-Ray on June 9th, 2009.

Project Redlight: The Prisoner

11 June 2009 | From ioncinema | See recent ioncinema news

- Stalled film projects are not only frustrating for those directly involved but can leave fans with a sour taste in their mouths. Usually these projects are decomposing on agents/producers’ shelves and they may have gone through so many hands (countless rewrites/ambitious filmmaker visions/producers balking at production costs) that they lose a little shine. The antonym of “to greenlight a project”, Ioncinema.com’s "Project Redlight" attempts to dust off the cobwebs and add a verbal pulse to projects that have been flat-lined for a while. This month we look at: The Prisoner Based on the cult 17-episode, British television series created by Patrick McGoohan that went on air October 1st 1967 and lasted until the 4th of February the following year, there have been talks of seeing a feature length film version for the past four decades now, and previous mentions of the project in the last decade have sounded promising.
