New Photos of 'Blood Ties'; Guillaume Canet Reveals Mark Wahlberg Was Supposed To Be One Of The Main Brothers
22 hours ago | The Playlist | See recent The Playlist news »
Granted, "Blood Ties" is a bit of mess (and you can read why in our review from Cannes), but there is much to like about it too. Particularly the performances, with Clive Owen giving the best turn he's delivered in a quite a while, matched by Billy Crudup as his emotionally wounded brother and James Caan as their father who comes between the pair, eager to keep the family together. A sprawling two-and-a-half-hour saga set in the mid-1970s, the story chronicles ex-con Chris, recently out of another stint in the joint, who spirals back into a life of crime, while is brother Frank is torn between the affection he has for his brother and his duty to bring him to justice. It's a lot to tackle -- with an extended cast that features Mila Kunis, Matthias Schoenaerts, Zoe Saldana, Marion Cotillard, Noah Emmerich and Lili Taylor too -- and »

Mila Kunis, Clive Owen, Zoe Saldana in 'Blood Ties' trailer
22 May 2013 9:00 AM, PDT | Digital Spy | See recent Digital Spy - Movie News news »
The first trailer for Blood Ties has been released.
Guillaume Canet's Brooklyn-set crime drama stars Clive Owen as a man who has been released after several years in jail for his part in a gangland murder.
His return sparks conflict with several members of his extended family, including his straight-laced younger brother (Billy Crudup), his ex-wife (Marion Cotillard) and his father (James Caan).
Zoe Saldana, Mila Kunis and Matthias Schoenaerts round out the film's ensemble cast, with Cotillard and Schoenaerts reuniting following last year's Rust and Bone.
Canet, whose last film was 2010's Little White Lies, co-wrote the script with James Gray (Two Lovers, We Own the Night). This will be his English-language debut.
Blood Ties will be released later this year, and plays out of competition at this year's Cannes Film Festival.

Cannes: The Weinstein Company Circles U.S. Rights to ‘Spivet’ (Exclusive)
21 May 2013 11:41 AM, PDT | Variety - Film News | See recent Variety - Film News news »
The Weinstein Company is in advanced negotiations to acquire all U.S. rights to Jean-Pierre Jeunet’s 3D adventure pic “The Young and Prodigious Spivet,” in what will be one of the highest-profile deals inked at Cannes.
Adapted from Reif Larsen’s novel by Jeunet and his scribe partner Guillaume Laurant (“Amelie”), the English-language “Spivet” centers on a 12-year-old boy (Kyle Catlett) with extraordinary skills who leaves his family in Montana and takes off on a cross-country adventure to the Smithsonian Museum in Washington, D.C. to receive a prize.
Helena Bonham Carter and Kathy Bates star in the film, Jeunet’s first English-language pic since 1997′s “Alien: The Resurrection.”
It’s also the director’s first 3D pic and he said that he studied movies including Tim Burton’s “Alice in Wonderland” and Martin Scorsese’s “Hugo” to prepare “Spivet.”
Pic will be digitally remastered by Imax and will be released in France Oct. »

Cannes 2013 Review: Overlong Crime Drama ‘Blood Ties’ Benefits From Strong Performances
21 May 2013 9:30 AM, PDT | FilmSchoolRejects.com | See recent FilmSchoolRejects news »
Guillaume Canet earned the goodwill of many with his immensely potent 2006 thriller Tell No One, before the misjudged – and like this film, much too long – Little White Lies came along and eroded plenty of that promise. However, Canet returns with his latest feature, and the busload-full of skilled actors he has brought with him damn near ensures a compelling sit, even if the film’s ponderous pacing and resulting length do detract somewhat from its finer qualities. A remake of 2008′s French film Rivals – which starred Canet himself – Blood Ties begins in 1974 New York as Chris (Clive Owen) is released from prison after a 12-year-stint for murder. While welcomed warmly by his father (James Caan), Chris is received less so by his brother, Frank (Billy Crudup), a respected policeman who is nevertheless called upon by his family to take him in. Adding to the drama is the litany of anguished lovers sitting on the periphery; Chris shacks »

‘Blood Ties’ Trailer is Full of Hunky Guys, Hot Chicks and the 70s
20 May 2013 5:00 PM, PDT | FilmSchoolRejects.com | See recent FilmSchoolRejects news »
If the Cannes Film Festival is good for anything, it’s letting a select few people see great movies that the rest of us are going to have to wait months to get our eyeballs on. In one respect it’s a tantalizing glimpse at our film future, and in the other it’s a torturous tease that only gives us whispers about unattainable pleasures. Every once in a while a film debuting at Cannes will at least release a trailer around the same time though, so those of us not at the festival can get a taste of what we’re missing, and this seems to be the case with Guillaume Canet’s first English-language film as a director, Blood Ties. You should be warned that there’s some naughty language in the clip that lies below, but if that isn’t the sort of thing that offends you, then »

The first English language offering from acclaimed French director Guillaume Canet, Blood Ties stars Clive Owen, Mila Kunis, Billy Crudup, Marion Cotillard, Zoe Saldana, James Caan and Matthias Schoenaerts in a crime drama very much calling back the style of the 1970s.

Accents galore in the trailer for 1970's set crime pic Blood Ties with Clive Owen, Billy Crudup, Mila Kunis, and Marion Cotillard

So, this one kind of came out of left field. A 1970's set crime drama with a bang-up cast, co-written by James Gray, and directed by the French boyfriend in Danny Boyle's The Beach. Wicked. Blood Ties is a very compelling looking film, which may be trying too hard to be so, but I have to admire the effort. Starring Clive Owen, Billy Crudup, Mila Kunis, Marion Cotillard, Zoe Saldana, Noah Emmerich, Griffin Dunne, James Caan, and Matthias Schoenaerts, the pic centers on two »

Trailer For ‘Blood Ties’ – a call back to gritty ’70s Crime movies
20 May 2013 12:47 PM, PDT | SoundOnSight | See recent SoundOnSight news »
A trailer has been released for Blood Ties Blood, the upcoming thriller by French director Guillaume Canet and co-written by James Gray. The film is a remake of 2008 French thriller Les liens du sang by Jacques Maillot, itself adapted from the French novel of the same name by Bruno and Michel Papet. Canet has assembled a hugely impressive cast for his English-language debut, including Clive Owen, Marion Cotillard, Billy Crudup, Zoe Saldana, Matthias Schoenaerts, Mila Kunis, Noah Emmerich and Sound On Sight favourite James Caan. Set in New York, 1974, the story largely follows two brothers; Frank (Billy Crudup) a police officer and Chris (Clive Owen) his ex-con brother who’s just been let out of jail and desperately tries to find work that won’t lead him back behind bars. Surprisingly the film is being shown out of competition at the Cannes Film festival, and despite some lukewarm reviews, both »

First Trailer and Poster for Blood Ties Starring Clive Owen, Marion Cotillard, Mila Kunis, and Zoe Saldana
20 May 2013 11:10 AM, PDT | Collider.com | See recent Collider.com news »
Last week, we saw the first images from Guillaume Canet's Blood Ties, and now the trailer and poster have been released. The story takes place in New York in 1974, and centers on two brothers. One has recently been released from prison, and the other is a cop who is trying to help his brother out only to discover that old habits die hard. It's weird to see Marion Cotillard trying on a New York accent, but the crime-drama aspect looks good, and there's definitely a lot of potential here. As for the poster, I really like the 70s-style they've used. Hit the jump to check out the trailer and poster. The film also stars Clive Owen, Matthias Schoenaerts, Mila Kunis, Billy Crudup, James Caan, and Zoe Saldana. Via The Playlist. Here’s the synopsis: New York, 1974. Fifty year-old Chris has just been released on good behavior after several years »

Cannes 2013: 'Blood Ties' is an authentic '70s-set crime movie that gives Clive Owen his best role in years
20 May 2013 9:30 AM, PDT | EW - Inside Movies | See recent EW.com - Inside Movies news »
When film directors stage a scene from the mid-1970s, we all know how it’s done: They’ll clear everything out of a shot — commercial signage, etc. — that violates the period, and then they’ll plunk down a bunch of 1970s parked cars. Yet what they end up with still doesn’t usually look like the period — it looks prefab — and watching Blood Ties, a rivetingly scuzzy and authentic New York cops-and-crime drama (it’s set in 1974), starring Clive Owen as a hard case who has just gotten out of prison and Billy Crudup as his straight-arrow policeman brother, »

First Teaser Trailer and Poster for Blood Ties with Clive Owen, Billy Crudup & Mila Kunis

Making its world premiere out at Cannes this week, Blood Ties sees acclaimed French director Guillaume Canet making his English language debut, bringing together one of the best casts of the year for the upcoming thriller.
Led by Clive Owen and Billy Crudup as two brothers in 1970s New York, the film has screened Out of Competition at Cannes, and now Mars, its French distributor, have debuted the first red-band international teaser trailer and a very cool, retro-looking poster.
New York, 1974. Fifty year-old Chris has just been released on good behavior after several years in prison following a gangland murder. Waiting for him reluctantly outside the prison gates is his younger brother, Frank, a cop with a bright future. Chris and Frank have always been different, and their father, Leon, who’d raised them alone, seems strangely to prefer Chris – this, despite all his troubles.
Yet blood ties are the ones that bind. »

'Blood Ties' International Trailer and Poster
20 May 2013 7:47 AM, PDT | Rope of Silicon | See recent Rope Of Silicon news »
I can't help but feel disappointed Blood Ties didn't live up to expectations. A film directed by Guillaume Canet who co-wrote the film with James Gray with a cast that includes Billy Crudup, Clive Owen, Marion Cotillard, Mila Kunis, Zoe Saldana, James Caan, Noah Emmerich and Matthias Schoenaerts should have been a lot better than it was and actually could have been had it been about 90 minutes longer or about 30 minutes shorter. With how many characters and plot threads the film had it just didn't work. As I wrote in my review from Cannes, "At only two-and-a-half hours he doesn't have enough time to give them room to breathe." It's a shame, really, because had it turned out better it really could have put Canet on a much larger global map, but as it is, Blood Ties is likely to end up in the hands of Magnolia or IFC and »

Stylish Seventies Inspired Poster, Stills & Trailer For All-Star Crime Thriller ‘Blood Ties’

Being a huge fan of the crime classics of the 1970s, any genre pic inspired or set in the period is certainly going to appeal to someone like myself. Clive Owen and Billy Crudup lead French actor-turned-filmmaker Guillaume Canet’s (Tell No One) organised crime thriller Blood Ties, which centres of two siblings living life on opposite sides of the law during seventies-set Brooklyn. The official synopsis is as follows:
New York, 1974. Fifty year-old Chris has just been released on good behavior after several years in prison following a gangland murder. Waiting for him reluctantly outside the prison gates is his younger brother, Frank, a cop with a bright future. Chris and Frank have always been different, and their father, Leon, who’d raised them alone, seems strangely to prefer Chris – this, despite all his troubles.

DVD Review: 'Bullhead'
20 May 2013 5:50 AM, PDT | CineVue | See recent CineVue news »
★★★★☆ When critics talk of works of cinema where "testosterone oozes from the screen", they're usually describing some machismo-laden action flick. That same terminology feels perfectly apt for Michaël R. Roskam's Belgian crime yarn Bullhead (Rundskop, 2011), although it exists as a literal interpretation here, particularly in the case of its superlative lead turn from Matthias Schoenaerts. He plays cattle farmer Jacky Vanmarsenille, a rural mob enforcer who is employed by the local criminal network to ensure farmers around the region are using illegal hormone enhancements to fatten up their livestock which will drive profits.
A burly, mountain of a man (he's been given the titular moniker), Jacky appears more animal in nature than human. He's a simmering ball of suppressed rage which stems from a tragic childhood incident and the fact that he, too, is stock-piling steroids for his own use. The murder of a federal policeman working on the »

Watch: Trailer & Poster For Gritty '70s Crime Epic 'Blood Ties' With Clive Owen, Mila Kunis & Marion Cotillard
20 May 2013 5:30 AM, PDT | The Playlist | See recent The Playlist news »
We'd been a little worried that something was up with "Blood Ties." The promise of a team-up of Guillaume Canet and James Gray was terrific, especially on an epic crime 70s-set crime saga, and Canet had assembled a hugely impressive cast for his English-language debut, including Clive Owen, Marion Cotillard, Billy Crudup, Zoe Saldana, Matthias Schoenaerts, Mila Kunis, James Caan and Noah Emmerich. But despite Gray's status as a Cannes favorite, the film was being shown out of competition at the festival, and disappointingly, it seems that there was a reason for that; reaction to the film, including our own review, have been rather lukewarm. And we think we'd have been even more disappointed if the film had screened tonight or tomorrow, because a trailer for the picture has just arrived over at AlloCine, and it makes the film look kind of terrific. The performances look strong (it's a while »
