Andrew Dominik Shares Intentions on Marilyn Monroe Film ‘Blonde’; Wants to Shoot Next Year
25 May 2012 11:11 AM, PDT | The Film Stage | See recent The Film Stage news »
It’s been just over two years since we got that minor teaser image from Blonde — in that time since, Andrew Dominik found other interests, called up Brad Pitt, and made Cogan’s Trade (read our review of the film and interview with him). Now, with another effort in the can, it might be high time he and Naomi Watts make the Marilyn Monroe biopic.
That’s the indication to be found in his interview with ThePlaylist, wherein the acclaimed Australian said he “really want[s] to do” Blonde, but cautioned that, due to a few unknown factors — which they speculate would be rights or financing — it’s “not something I can talk about.” (He does, nevertheless, hope it’s both his next film and in production by 2013. Since he can be a slow worker, I wouldn’t hold my breath.)
The wherewithal might not be there, but the reasoning has »

Cannes: Andrew Dominik Says He's Aiming To Make "Emotional Nightmare Fairy-Tale" Marilyn Monroe Biopic 'Blonde' Next
25 May 2012 9:05 AM, PDT | The Playlist | See recent The Playlist news »
After a few years in the wilderness after the masterpiece "The Assassination Of Jesse James By The Coward Robert Ford" underperformed at the box office, Andrew Dominik's third film -- initially titled "Cogan's Trade" after the George V. Higgins book on which it's based, and later retitled "Killing Them Softly" -- came together quite quickly. The first hints emerged in September 2010, and within a few months it had a star and producer in Brad Pitt, a distributor courtesy of The Weinstein Company, and rolled in front of cameras in early 2011.
But with the film having premiered at Cannes this week (read our review here), we began to wonder what happened to "Blonde," Dominik's Naomi Watts-starring adaptation of Joyce Carol Oates' novel about Marilyn Monroe. That film was long-mooted to be his next project after 'Jesse James,' and was originally set to get underway in January »

A Roof Collapses Amid Rough Weather At Cannes
21 May 2012 1:46 PM, PDT | Huffington Post | See recent Huffington Post news »
So much for beautiful entertainment luminaries luxuriating around on yachts. Cannes has turned into a dreary mess of a place, with rain and wind collapsing a temporary theater's roof.
The compromised structure is part of the Soixantieme Theatre, which is found behind the Palais that hosts screenings and tributes. THR reports that two screenings were canceled, as Gonzalo Tobal's "Villegas" and Christian Mungiu's "Beyond the Hills" were rescheduled.
The forecast doesn't look much better, with rain predicted for much of the week and temperatures limping back to the low 70s during the day. In Cannes during the Spring, this counts as bad weather.
One "industry executive" told THR that that he or she had "never seen it that bad."
The wacky weather will give festival-goers a distraction from the spectre of Cannes' sexism. The competition features exactly zero female directors, and many are up in arms about the secretive »

Watch Out, Ridley: Werner Herzog's Gertrude Bell Film Starring Naomi Watts Hoping To Shoot In The Fall
20 May 2012 7:45 AM, PDT | The Playlist | See recent The Playlist news »
Ridley Scott, eat your heart out. Or, maybe a shoe is more appropriate here? Werner Herzog is set to beat out Scott with his own biopic of famed British explorer Gertrude Bell set to begin production this fall.
The whole rat race began last February when Herzog teamed with with Naomi Watts for "Queen Of The Desert," a "Lawrence Of Arabia"-esque epic based on the life of Bell -- a traveler, writer, archaeologist, explorer, cartographer, and political attaché for the British Empire at the dawn of the 20th century. Soon after, though, it was noted that Scott was developing his own biopic of Bell, which had Angelina Jolie eyeing the lead role.
Little else had been heard from Herzog's project since then, but it now seems be moving forward quicker than ever with producer Cassian Elwes (Cannes duo "The Paperboy" and "Lawless") unveiling plans for a fall shoot with Watts still on board. »

While most of the royals from around the world were day-drinking at Windsor Castle today (seriously, most of them), one of Monaco's royal darlings was at a different party, hanging out south of London at a wee little film festival called Cannes.
The celebs were out in full force today in the south of France, taking time out from their packed roster of indie film screenings to catch a little light-hearted flick around noon: DreamWorks' "Madagascar 3: Europe's Most Wanted."
Some celebs, however, went to see a more erudite flick: a re-release of the Sergio Leone’s 1984 film "Once Upon A Time In America," sponsored by the Gucci Film Foundation. Gucci girls Gemma Arterton and Natasha Poly were in attendance, as well as Jane Fonda, Naomi Watts and Salma Hayek, who looked lovely in a sparkly -- you guessed it -- Gucci dress..

Michelle Monaghan & Susan Sarandon Enter ‘Still of Night,’ Naveen Andrews Joins Naomi Watts In ‘Diana,’ Julianne Hough Finds ‘Safe Haven’
18 May 2012 2:45 PM, PDT | The Playlist | See recent The Playlist news »
Since her breakout role in 2005’s “Kiss Kiss, Bang Bang,” Michelle Monaghan has been steadily turning in solid supporting performances in everything from big-budget thrillers (“Mission Impossible III”) to more character-based dramas (“North Country”), but Hollywood still hasn’t seen her as a leading lady. That’s all set to change though, as Monaghan has signed on to appear in her biggest role yet alongside Susan Sarandon.
Jonathan Mostow (“Terminator 3,” “U-571”) will direct Monaghan and Sarandon in the thriller “Still of Night,” from a script which he also penned. The film follows Monaghan as a young career woman who is forced to care for her missing sister’s daughter, and in the process of looking for her whereabouts, must outwit a criminal (Sarandon) in order to save her and her family’s lives. Sarandon playing a more devious character could be compelling, but otherwise this material seems to let down the talents of Monaghan, »

Cosmopolis Review: Robert Pattinson Impeccable/Loses Control
18 May 2012 1:40 PM, PDT | Alt Film Guide | See recent Alt Film Guide news »
Cosmopolis: Robert Pattinson directed by David Cronenberg An early Cosmopolis review has come out via Studio Ciné Live‘s Fabrice Leclerc. Directed by the iconoclastic David Cronenberg, who adapted Don DeLillo’s novel, and starring Robert Pattinson, Cosmopolis is definitely one of the most eagerly anticipated films at the Cannes Film Festival 2012. [Check out the awesome Cosmopolis trailer.] The headline of Leclerc’s brief, three-star (out of five) Cosmopolis review reads: "A Cronenberg as brilliant as he is taut." Leclerc then begins his review by explaining that Cronenberg and DeLillo are "manufacturers of fantastic, unhealthy, and at times somber environments, of the science of language, and of totally chaotic characters. And of controversy as well." Referring to Cosmopolis as a "ghostly and hypnotic" tale, Leclerc adds that Cronenberg had adapted to the letter DeLillo’s "ultrarich prose, filming with incredible inventiveness this stifling and disturbing airtight environment." As for Robert Pattinson, Leclerc says he’s "impeccable" until Cosmopolis‘ last segment, »
