Eddie Redmayne to Play Stephen Hawking in Theory Of Everything
13 June 2013 1:45 PM, PDT | GeekTyrant | See recent GeekTyrant news »
It looks like Les Miserables co-star Eddie Redmayne is going to play physicist Stephen Hawking in a film called Theory of Everything.
According to Deadline, the film will focus "on the relationship between Hawking and his wife." The film is set up at Working Title, and it's being directed by James Marsh, who worked on the Oscar winning documentary Man of Wire.
Redmayne is also up for a lead role in a film called Far From the Madding Crowd, in which he would star alongside Carey Mulligan. It sounds like he can only choose one or the other, but according to the report, the actor is more interested in playing Hawking. Why wouldn't he be? This would be a great role for any actor, and Redmayne is a talented one. I think this kind of role will take his career to a whole new level.
The report suggests that this »

Alert the Academy: Stephen Hawking is getting the biopic treatment, with "Les Miserables" hunk Eddie Redmayne attached to the starring role.
Deadline.com reports that "Theory of Everything," the first feature film to center on the British physicist's life, is coming together. Oscar-winning documentarian James Marsh ("Man On Wire," "Project Nim") is slated to direct the effort, which is expected to zero in on the relationship between Hawking and his wife (although Deadline.com does not specify which of Hawking's two ex-wives that will be). No word has emerged yet on which actress could nab that role.
Regardless of how this movie shapes up over the next few months, it's almost certain that it will be an Oscar contender. The role attracts two aspects Best Actor voters adore: playing a real person (recent examples include Daniel Day-Lewis, Sean Penn, Phillip Seymour Hoffman) and playing a character with physical or mental disabilities (Colin Firth, »

Michael Giacchino Will Compose the Score for Dawn Of The Planet Of The Apes
14 May 2013 4:13 PM, PDT | Collider.com | See recent Collider.com news »
While it looks like composer Michael Giacchino won’t be able to play around in the world of Star Wars, he’s nevertheless set to tackle another exciting and beloved film franchise. J.J. Abrams’ longtime collaborator shared an image on Twitter of a monkey dressed up as a composer, saying it was the outfit he would wear while recording the score for the sequel Dawn of the Planet of the Apes. Matt Reeves—another longtime friend and collaborator of Abrams'—is helming the Apes pic, and Giacchino previously worked with Reeves on the director’s past two films, Let Me In and Cloverfield. Giacchino is an incredibly gifted composer, and I can’t wait to hear what he puts together for the new Apes pic. His past work is incredibly varied—from Star Trek to Up to Lost—so one assumes it’ll be something wholly different yet unsurprisingly fantastic. »

Cloud Atlas - Warner Bros. - Blu-ray and DVD Director: Andy Wachowski, Lana Wachowski, Tom Tykwer Cast: Tom Hanks, Halle Berry, Jim Broadbent, Hugo Weaving,Jim Sturgess. Full cast + crew People often complain about the Academy robbing their favorite films of wins or nominations. Most of the time this is just a way of showing off that they really did love a movie so much more than everybody else, including the supposed authorities on what is and isn't award worthy. Having said that... there are many, many more people who love Cloud Atlas with a greater passion than I, and yet even I have to admit that this beautiful film was robbed at the Oscars. Nothing for score or makeup or wardrobe -- and that's okay, those tend to be fluffy awards...

Cloud Atlas Blu-ray Review
13 May 2013 11:53 AM, PDT | TheHDRoom | See recent TheHDRoom news »
I'm sitting here in front of my laptop trying to distill my opinion on Cloud Atlas into around 500 or so words, and that may well be an impossible task.
Cloud Atlas is not a film that fits neatly into a "good" or "bad" category. It doesn't fit into a particular genre, and it doesn't conform to anything that can be considered a recognizable formula. I don't know how to judge it on its artistic merits; I don't know how to judge it on the levels on which it succeeds or fails.
I find myself only able to judge it based upon the scope of its ambition and the emotions and feelings it intended me to feel, and on that level it is a movie that stands entirely alone.
Good or bad, Cloud Atlas is the most ambitious movie of the 21st century - it may not merit either praise or disdain, »

Who is the Puff Ball on the Set of the Wachowskis' 'Jupiter Ascending'?

I was just sent this behind the scenes picture from the set of Lana and Andy Wachowski's now-filming Jupiter Ascending and while the picture on the right is clearly Channing Tatum, who is the puff ball on the right? Guesses based on who else is in the cast would include Sean Bean, Eddie Redmayne, Douglas Booth, James D'Arcy or Tim Pigott-Smith. Then again, I guess it could also be Tatum, but it doesn't look like it to me. Jupiter Jones (Mila Kunis) was born under a night sky, with signs predicting that she was destined for great things.

Bae Doona has joined the cast of Jupiter Ascending.
The South Korean actress, who appeared in the Wachowskis' Cloud Atlas earlier this year, will play a smaller role in the directing duo's next film.

Mila Kunis, Channing Tatum, Eddie Redmayne and Sean Bean will star in the sci-fi drama, which follows Jupiter Jones (Kunis), a seemingly unremarkable young woman stuck in a dead-end job.
But after a genetically engineered ex-soldier (Tatum) arrives on Earth to hunt her down, Jupiter discovers that her particular genetic signature has marked her out for an extraordinary fate.
Principal photography began this week at Warner Bros Studios Leavesden, with Lana and Andy Wachowski working from their own script.

The Wachowski's Jupiter Ascending Begins Filming; First Synopsis Revealed
15 April 2013 11:51 AM, PDT | Cinelinx | See recent Cinelinx news »
The next film from The Wachowski Siblings (The Matrix trilogy, Cloud Atlas), the Science Fiction film Jupiter Ascending, has officially began production and Warner Bros has released the first synopsis of the film, giving us our first look at the story.
I've always been a fan of the Wachowski's films. I think they're amazing storytellers and I'm so disappointed that Cloud Atlas didn't do as well as it should have in the theaters. Alas, this is the way the film industry goes, especially when it comes to such esoteric fare as Cloud Atlas. Regardless, their next film, Jupiter Ascending, should have some more mass appeal to movie-goers as it's a full on science fiction film. Warner Bros. has issued a press release this morning announcing that cameras have started rolling on the film, and we've got our first synopsis for the movie (it's been underlined):
