Jim Sturgess Digs 'Eliza Graves' With Kate Beckinsale For Director Brad Anderson
2 April 2013 2:43 PM, PDT | The Playlist | See recent The Playlist news »
With two epic sci-fi sagas -- "Cloud Atlas" and "Upside Down" -- in recent memory, along with a straight-to-video Brit crime flick ("Ashes"), a movie with Giuseppe Tornatore ("The Best Offer" -- our review) and a Somali pirate movie in the works, Jim Sturgess has been a bit all over the place of late, and that's not about to change. Sturgess has come on board "Eliza Graves" alongside Kate Beckinsale, in the latest effort from Brad Anderson whose fading goodwill from "The Machinist" was pretty much dashed with last month's "The Call." Anyway. Penned by Joe Gangemi (the forgotten 2007 Emily Blunt thriller "Wind Chill"), the plot is loosely based on an 1845 short story by Edgar Allan Poe, following the titular character (Beckinsale) who happens to be a mental patient in a hospital where the residents have overthrown the staff and are posing as doctors. Sturgess will play a Harved med »

Just two months ago famed composer Ennio Morricone presented Django Unchained director Quentin Tarantino with a lifetime achievement award in Rome. But last week, American outlets picked up on a small story in the Italian press where Morricone had allegedly told a group of students at Rome’s Luiss University that he did not care to work with Tarantino again, and that he was unhappy with how he used his song “Ancora Qui” in Django Unchained.

Berlin Review: Giuseppe Tornatore's 'The Best Offer' Is A Campy, Overcooked Mess
14 February 2013 8:04 AM, PST | The Playlist | See recent The Playlist news »
If director Giuseppe Tornatore has had an up-and-down time of it since his breakthrough, 1988's almost universally adored, Oscar-winning "Cinema Paradiso," it has to be said that his most recent film, "The Best Offer," marks a definite low point, even as one of the downs. But that's probably what's going to happen when you take a cast, including Geoffrey Rush, Jim Sturgess and Donald Sutherland, that mostly seems as though they don't belong on the same planet, let alone in the same film, stick them in a pointlessly convoluted plot that's ludicrously unbelievable from start to finish, and drench the whole lot in a hysterically screechy score from Ennio Morricone. The resulting film is such a campy mess that for a while it's possible to see it having some sort of life as a kitsch cultish artifact, like an overplotted TV movie from the eighties. But then it goes on for an interminable 124 minutes, »

The Best Offer – first look review
13 February 2013 5:50 AM, PST | The Guardian - Film News | See recent The Guardian - Film News news »
A tenuous art-scam/romance/thriller storyline is fatally undermined by rusty dialogue in Giuseppe Tornatore's latest, screened at the Berlin film festival
Bloodied but unbowed by the reception to his last film Baarìa – at least in these quarters – Giuseppe Tornatore is back, once again seeking to trap some ever-more elusive lightning in a bottle, as he did all those years ago with Cinema Paradiso. This time he's come up with a convoluted English-language art-scam/romance/thriller that sad to say, doesn't really work: the whole thing is as stiff and rigid as Geoffrey Rush's marcelled 'do.
Rush plays a lonely high-end auction-house proprietor called Virgil Oldman who leads one of those sinuously classy lifestyles you only see in the movies: fine wines, spotless tablecloths, servile waiters, and where shop assistants say "Excellent choice, sir!" without a trace of sarcasm. While Oldman is an accepted authority as an authenticator of all forms of antiquity, »

Geoffrey Rush and Emily Watson to star in The Book Thief
6 February 2013 12:00 PM, PST | Flickeringmyth | See recent Flickeringmyth news »
Geoffrey Rush (The King's Speech) and Emily Watson (War Horse) will star in an adaptation of The Book Thief at Fox 2000. The best-selling novel, written by Markus Zusak, is set in Germany during World War II.
French-Canadian actress Sophie Nelisse (Monsieur Lahzar) will make her English-language debut as the central character, Liesel Meminger, who witnesses the horrors of Nazi Germany while living with her foster parents, the Hubermanns (Rush and Watson). She arrives with a stolen book and begins collecting others, learning to read while the Hubermanns harbor a Jewish refugee called Max in their cellar.
The drama, which is being directed by Brian Percival (Downton Abbey), also stars Ben Schnetzer (Happy Town) and Nico Liersch. Karen Rosenfelt and Ken Blancato are producing, and the film is set to begin shooting later this month in Berlin.
Rush recently starred in the European drama The Best Offer, directed by Giuseppe Tornatore »

Today we have the trailer for "The Best Offer," starring Geoffrey Rush, Jim Sturgess, Donald Sutherland and Sylvia Hoeks. Check it out below. Plot: A simple story of a solitary, cultured man, no longer young, whose reluctance to engage with others is equal only to the obsessiveness with which he practices his profession of art expert and auctioneer. Requested to handle the discharge of the artistic wealth of an old building, the antiques dealer finds himself in the middle of a passion that will change his existence forever. The new movie is directed by Italian helmer Giuseppe Tornatore (Cinema Paradiso) and was already released in Italy earlier this month. Sony Classics has now acquired it for Us distribution and will appear at the Berlin Film Festival next month. Trailer: »
Watch: The Best Offer Trailer
21 January 2013 3:37 AM, PST | Filmofilia | See recent Filmofilia news »
Thanks to Rome-based production company Paco Cinematografica it’s now foreign films’ turn: we have our first look at The Best Offer (La Migliore Offerta) trailer in English.
Brought to the screen by the acclaimed Italian director Giuseppe Tornatore (Cinema Paradiso), an English-language affair stars Geoffrey Rush, with Jim Sturgess, Donald Sutherland and Sylvia Hoeks as the supporting cast.
Shot all over northern Italy, Vienna and Prague this dead-serious fairy tale is worth watching for Rush’s ‘sensitive, never pandering performance as an effete master auctioneer who gradually discovers he has a heart’ and becomes obsessed with an extremely reclusive heiress who collects fine art (Hoeks).
The film was released in theaters on January 1st in Italy and talks for U.S. distribution with Sony Classics are in the advanced stages. The Best Offer will have a special gala screening at the 63rd Berlin International Film Festival next month.

New International Clip from The Best Offer with Geoffrey Rush & Jim Sturgess
2 January 2013 7:00 AM, PST | HeyUGuys.co.uk | See recent HeyUGuys news »
Renowned Italian filmmaker, Giuseppe Tornatore (Cinema Paradiso), returns behind the camera this year to bring us The Best Offer, his first English language film in more than a decade.
The very promising first international trailer surfaced late last year, and Warner Bros. have recently released a new clip – in the dubbed Italian language – for us to enjoy. And even though I can’t understand what’s being said, I still really want to see this film.
“Virgil Oldman (Geoffrey Rush) is an eccentric genius, art expert, known and appreciated all over the world. His life runs away from feelings, until a mysterious woman (Sylvia Hoeks) invites him to his villa to make an assessment. It will be the beginning of a relationship that will change for his life forever.”
Geoffrey Rush, Jim Sturgess, Sylvia Hoeks, and Donald Sutherland lead an excellent cast, with Tornatore directing from his own script.
