Derek Cianfrance's directorial debut Blue Valentine will premiere at the 2010 Sundance Film Festival as one of 16 films selected from 1,058 submissions for the dramatic competition. Written by Derek Cianfrance, Cami Delavigne and Joey Curtis, the screenplay won the 2006 Chrysler Film Project contest, which came with $1 million of funding.

21 December 2009 9:50 PM, PST | Beyond Hollywood | See recent Beyond Hollywood news »
Martin Scorsese’s period crime/mystery/suspense film gets a final poster via Chud. I guess the studio couldn’t be bothered to spend money on, you know, an actual new poster. Eh. Set in 1954, U.S. Marshal Teddy Daniels is investigating the disappearance of a murderess who escaped from a hospital for the criminally insane and is presumed to be hiding on the remote Shutter Island. Starring Leonardo DiCaprio, Mark Ruffalo, Ben Kingsley, Emily Mortimer, Michelle Williams, Max von Sydow, Jackie Earle Haley, Patricia Clarkson, Elias Koteas, and Ted Levine. »

Michelle Williams takes Matilda out on sea kayak
21 December 2009 8:15 PM, PST | Monsters and Critics | See recent Monsters and Critics news »
Michelle Williams and daughter Matilda Rose took a delightful break on the blue waters of Hawaii by way of a nifty sea kayak. The mother-and-daughter pair was out on the water, with actress Williams appearing something of a pro when it comes to the tricky paddle. Matilda Rose, 4, was decked out in a life jacket with her fair hair flowing. The New Year will mark two years since Matilda's father and Williams's famous partner Heath Ledger was found dead in a Manhattan apartment. Williams is said to be still deciding whether or not to play the part of Marilyn Monroe in a movie due to start filming in London in June. She was reportedly offered »

Review: Shutter Island
21 December 2009 9:02 AM, PST | Cinematical | See recent Cinematical news »
We've come to expect Martin Scorsese to swing for the fences every single time he's at bat, so when a movie comes along like Shutter Island, a pulpy, by-the-numbers thriller, it's easy to feel a slight twinge of disappointment. Here, we're dealing with a lesser work by a modern master, which is to say that Shutter Island is still a crackerjack mystery, executed with great artistic care, but it's also Scorsese working about as close as he ever has to popcorn-munching cineplex fare. It's a hard-boiled and unpretentious outing, but the individual parts of Shutter Island are greater than the whole -- particularly the cinematography by Robert Richardson and outstanding work from a dream team ensemble cast.
Leading that dream team is Leonardo DiCaprio as U.S. Marshal Teddy Daniels, called in to a state-run mental institution on a storm-battered, rocky island on the East Coast, along with his new »

Michelle Slips On a Bikini and Takes Matilda to Hawaii
21 December 2009 9:00 AM, PST | Popsugar.com | See recent Popsugar news »
Michelle Williams and Matilda escaped the big snowstorm in NYC this weekend and instead were spotted in Hawaii enjoying a much more tropical climate. The girls' perfectly timed getaway meant bathing suits and sunshine instead of snow boots and warm coats. Michelle tried out stand up paddle surfing in her cute bikini. This upcoming award season will be a quiet one for Michelle since Shutter Island was pushed to next year, but she is supposedly mulling a possible turn playing Marilyn Monroe, which could mean another busy red carpet schedule. For now, however, it's all about relaxation with her number one girl, Matilda. View 2 Photos › »

Beyoncé's mother and costume designer, Tina Knowles, has reportedly filed divorce papers against the singer's dad and longtime manager, Mathew Knowles. According to TMZ, Tina Knowles filed the papers last month in Texas, seeking an end to the couple's 29-year marriage. A spokesperson for Knowles could not be reached for comment on the claims at press time.
Both parents have played a pivotal role in Beyoncé's career, with Mathew quitting his job at Ibm nearly 20 years ago to begin managing the singer's early group, Girl's Tyme, which eventually morphed into Destiny's Child. He has had producer credits on many of Beyoncé's projects, including the 2009 film "Obsessed," and he is the founder of Music World Entertainment, a label that, through Columbia Records, »

Review: Martin Scorsese's Shutter Island
17 December 2009 7:23 AM, PST | Twitch | See recent Twitch news »
Martin Scorsese's Shutter Island, which is based on Dennis Lehane's novel, is a nightmarish, puzzle-box thriller. Although the film isn't set to premiere until the Berlin Film Festival in February 2010, an "unfinished" version recently screened at Butt-numb-a-Thon in Austin, Texas. Those anticipating the muscular noir of Cape Fear, which is what the marketing has suggested, should readjust their expectations as Shutter Island is a far creepier and subtler work that uses the collective experience of a generation of Americans to grapple with themes of delusion, loss and guilt.
Teddy Daniels (Leonardo DiCaprio) is a United States Marshall who, along with a new partner Chuck Aules (Mark Ruffalo), is sent to investigate the disappearance of a patient named Rachel Solando (Emily Mortimer) from a federal prison for the mentally ill on Boston's Shutter Island. Daniels, whose wife (Michelle Williams) was killed in an apartment fire, isn't the steadiest of »
Review: Mammoth

Here I am. Where are you? I love you. I miss you.
Lukas Moodysson woefully neglected (at least in North America) new film starring Michelle Williams, Gael Garcia Bernal and Marife Necesito (a wonderful Filipino actress who is the real heart and soul of the film) steps back from flirtations with pornographic explicitness (A Hole in My Heart) or the baffling bauble of Container and takes on the large task of trying to understand family bonds in the 21st century. A film as timely as Up In The Air or the 2006 film it is inevitably compared to: Alejandro González Iñárritu's Babel (if only because of the world-hopping story and Gael Garcia Bernal who is, more or less, in the Brad Pitt role), it may be even better than either of those two because of its quiet (distant) empathic confusion. While it eventually comes to a boil, for the most part, »

Grizzly Bear to Score Blue Valentine and a Clip From the Upcoming White Stripes Documentary
14 December 2009 3:01 PM, PST | Collider.com | See recent Collider.com news »
Over the weekend, The Playlist found out that the band Grizzly Bear would be providing some music for the upcoming Sundance film, Blue Valentine, which stars Ryan Gosling and Michelle Williams. Now the folks over at TwentyFourBit have done some more digging and have found out that it’s safe to presume that the band will be scoring the film since their agents list the band as the film’s composers. As a fan of the band, I’m now extremely curious to hear what they can do with a film score.
In other music related news, MySpace has released a clip/live performance of The White Stripes playing “Let’s Shake Hands” from their upcoming documentary, Under Great White Northern Lights, that chronicles the band in some pretty gorgeous looking black and white photography as they toured Canada in 2007. You can watch the clip along with a teaser trailer »
