Don’t Say No Until I Finish Talking: The Story of Richard D. Zanuck
2 May 2013 12:36 PM, PDT | Variety - TV News | See recent Variety - TV News news »
The best part about “Don’t Say No Until I Finish Talking: The Story of Richard D. Zanuck” comes at the very end, when viewers are informed the producer/executive got to see the finished film three days before his death last July. It certainly would have been a shame if Zanuck had missed Laurent Bouzereau’s tribute, which hails him as the “consummate movie guy.” Produced by Steven Spielberg — whose career took off after making “Jaws” with Zanuck — the Turner Classic Movies production is warm and heartfelt, although to fully do Zanuck’s career justice, you’re going to need a bigger doc.
Zanuck — who died at the age of 77 — is interviewed discussing at length his complicated relationship with his famous father, studio chief Darryl F. Zanuck, who told him he would have to “overcome the circumstances of your birth” in terms of perceptions of nepotism. Their interaction took »

CinemaCon: Fox Launches 'Walter Mitty' Oscar Campaign, Bullock & McCarthy's 'The Heat'
29 April 2013 4:40 PM, PDT | Thompson on Hollywood | See recent Thompson on Hollywood news »
Last year Twentieth Century Fox used its CinemaCon presentation to wow exhibitors with glorious footage from Ang Lee's "Life of Pi," and instantly established the 3-D epic as a major Oscar contender. This year, solo chairman Jim Gianopulos, no longer paired with now-departed Tom Rothman, introduced his upcoming slate with impressive footage from Ben Stiller's ambitious cinematic retelling of the classic James Thurber New Yorker short story, "The Secret Life of Walter Mitty." What's great about this updated story of a daydreamer (played by Stiller) is that the movie allows full rein (like "Slumdog Millionaire") to cut anywhere, anytime, into full-blown fantasies. Where this one seems to depart from the original (and the 1947 Danny Kaye movie) is that it allows our hero to act out his dreams and become a man. At least, that's what I got from the footage! The movie co-stars the always-welcome Kristen Wiig, as plodding »

‘Daredevil’ Movie Rights Revert Back to Marvel
23 April 2013 7:32 PM, PDT | ScreenRant.com | See recent Screen Rant news »
It’s strange to think how close Twentieth Century Fox came to rebooting Daredevil, only for it all to come to nothing. The plans were around for so long and saw so much effort put into them that the studio’s second attempt at a Daredevil movie began to feel like an inevitability. Frank Miller and Jason Statham took an interest in getting involved as director and lead actor, respectively, and Fox executive Tom Rothman said that the prospect of a reboot was “something we are thinking very seriously about.”
Fox thought so seriously about the Daredevil reboot that they hired first one screenwriter, then another, then another to write and polish up a script. David Slade was brought on to direct the project and remained attached for over a year ...

Wave Of The Future! Fox Changes Name To 21st Century Fox
17 April 2013 1:27 AM, PDT | cinemablend.com | See recent Cinema Blend news »
What.s in a name, right? That.s probably the billionth time someone has asked that question, and the answer is .everything,. simply enough. It might just be a coincidence that we never had a president named Pisspot, but it probably isn.t. Films change their names all the time, for better or worse. It.s always weird when a sports team does it, and especially when a an actual athlete does it. But what of an entire corporation? When former 20th Century Fox CEO Tom Rothman announced he was stepping down last year, it was announced that Fox.s parent company News Corp. would be going through some name changes, and even though the name wasn.t what was predicted, Rupert Murdoch has officially changed the tentatively titled Fox Group to 21st Century Fox, according to Deadline. The imagination those guys have! Now to be clear, this is the »

Hugh Jackman to Lead Harlan Coben's 'Six Years' Novel Adaptation
19 March 2013 10:41 AM, PDT | firstshowing.net | See recent FirstShowing.net news »
After some new photos from The Wolverine surfaced yesterday, with the promise of the first trailer finally arriving on March 27th, THR says Hugh Jackman is going to take a break from action with a new dramatic adaptation of Harlan Coben's novel Six Years, which just hit shelves today. With no writer or director attached at this point, this kind of announcement seems timed to simply sell more books, but if Jackman sticks with the project being produced by former Fox head Tom Rothman, he would play a man named Jake Fisher whose heart was broken as he watched the love of his life, Natalie, marry another man. Six years later, still heartbroken, Jake comes across this other man's obituary. Hoping to see Natalie, he attends the funeral, but has another surprise waiting for him. From the official synopsis for the book: Whoever the mourning widow is, she’s »

10 Movies Ruined By Studio Interference
12 February 2013 7:04 AM, PST | Obsessed with Film | See recent Obsessed with Film news »
Producers and the heads of movie studios love to think that they know better than everyone else, and while their shady interference tactics frequently do result in ridiculous profits, this is often at the creative expense of the end product.
Moreover, it’s a short-sighted way of conducting business, because if you screw us over once, you’re not going to get our repeat business for the sequels.
Nevertheless, studios are all about the bottom line, and to an extent, given that they’re a business, this is fairly understandable. It’s just that so often they don’t seem to have art in mind at all, and as a result, these 10 promising movies were dragged through the mud, ripped to pieces and then put back together, the end result being widely derided by audiences and critics.
Thankfully in a few instances, the directors were able to regain their agency »

Don McAlpine: X-Men Origins Wolverine was a political minefield
11 February 2013 11:15 PM, PST | IF.com.au | See recent IF.com.au news »
Cinematographer Don McAlpine says production on X-Men Origins: Wolverine became a .political minefield. between director Gavin Hood and 20th Century Fox.
Wolverine was plagued by rumours of problems, centred on disagreements between Hood and studio boss Tom Rothman, during its Sydney-based shoot in 2008. An unfinished print of the Hugh Jackman-vehicle was also leaked although the official Wolverine theatrical release went on to gross a respectable $US370 million worldwide.
McAlpine, who recently finished his second feature with Hood, sci-fi drama Ender.s Game, said he first formed a tight friendship with the South African director on the set of Wolverine.
.And I think basically one of my main functions on that film was to help Gavin through the political minefield that he.d found himself in the midst of,. he told AC Magazine (Issue #56 December 2012). .You know, a first-time director at any of the major studios is just considered .game »

Eight Big Takeaways From the 2013 Sundance Film Festival
29 January 2013 12:00 PM, PST | Vulture | See recent Vulture news »
It's awfully considerate of the Sundance Film Festival to come so early in the year, because from its January berth, it can often predict exactly what we'll be talking about for the next eleven months. Sometimes those conversations are about the Sundance movies that will go on to Oscar glory — whether it's Little Miss Sunshine or Beasts of the Southern Wild. But even more often, it's about the trends that first emerge in Park City or the names that are destined for greater fame. So what did we learn at this year's fest that will have us buzzing throughout 2013? Here are eight story lines that got their start at this year's Sundance. The 2013 Oscar race has already begun. While announcing that Fruitvale had won the Grand Jury Prize, former 20th Century Fox co-chairman Tom Rothman got choked up, claiming this award was "for anyone out there who »
