The Ultimate Wes Anderson Playlist
24 May 2012 7:00 AM, PDT | NextMovie | See recent NextMovie news »
Directors who plug their favorite songs into films is nothing new, but Wes Anderson is one of the few -- along with Martin Scorsese, Quentin Tarantino, Paul Thomas Anderson and Cameron Crowe -- who have turned the movie soundtrack into an art form.
From the underappreciated Rolling Stones song "2000 Man" in Anderson's debut feature "Bottle Rocket" to a Brazilian acoustic guitarist playing David Bowie tunes in the oceanography adventure movie "The Life Aquatic with Steve Zissou," Anderson's musical choices for his films are as patiently awaited by his fans as the films themselves.
Though the tweed-stylin' director has stated that his new movie, "Moonrise Kingdom" (which opens May 25), "has a big musical element, but there are not really songs in it," his previous films are a master class in how to use songs in movies. Here are 11 of our favorites.

Hyde Park On Hudson Trailer Hits And Bill Murray Looks Brilliant
22 May 2012 4:13 PM, PDT | AreYouScreening.com | See recent AreYouScreening news »
We won’t be seeing it until December 7th, and it’s unlikely to be the kind of film that will ultimately bombard you with ads, so the trailer release for Hyde Park on Hudson better hope it stirs something deep if it’s going to be remembered. It looks a bit odd frankly, even among films with Presidents and Queens, but it stars many of my favorites, and I can imagine that director Roger Michell can make something interesting out of it.

It’s just my kind of wild actually, and I’m looking forward to it. This may not seem like your cup of tea, but give the trailer a look, and let me know what you think.

More Bill Murray: Trailer For 'Hyde Park On Hudson'
22 May 2012 11:49 AM, PDT | Filmology | See recent Filmology news »
Here's the trailer for the highly anticipated Hyde Park On Hudson, the biopic focused on the famous meeting of Franklin D. Roosevelt and King George The VI (and his wife Queen Elizabeth) at Roosevelt's country estate.
I kind of wish the trailer was a little more stylish but despite this, it looks like a great flick, one you should probably go see with your grandparents. Will Bill Murray be nominated for a Oscar? Probably. Olivia Williams (too attractive for Eleanor Roosevelt)? Yup. Laura Linney? Well, does it look like she has a big part in this movie? I'm not sure about that, but there's a voice-over, so you know it's good.
If you know anything about the various scandals of history (if you don't, talk to Anthony Schneck, he knows a strange amount about that stuff), apparently Laura Linney's character Margaret "Daisy" Suckley had a bit of a romantic trist with Fdr. »

Interesting Trailer For Bill Murray’s ‘Hyde Park On Hudson’ Released
21 May 2012 3:30 AM, PDT | The Hollywood News | See recent The Hollywood News news »
If you were to make a list of actors to play an American President I think Bill Murray would be somewhere near the middle, but not Roger Mitchell. Murray was right at the top as he’s cast him as Franklin Roosevelt alongside Laura Linney (Kinsey) in Hyde Park On Hudson.
Focusing on a 1939 visit of the King and Queen of good old blighty, the film looks like a fantastic platform for Linney, Murray and Olivia Williams (Tyrannosaur, Hot Fuzz) obvious talents and I must say I’m really looking forward to it and to back up my enthusiasm I’ve got a little trailer below for you to have a look at, so let me know what you think:
Hyde Park On Hudson will arrive in UK cinemas later this year.

As a man known for his legendary ability not to be found when filmmakers come calling, Bill Murray is something of a big fish to land.

You can watch the first trailer for the comedy drama below. brightcove.createExperiences();The film is based on the real-life meeting in 1939 between Fdr, his wife Eleanor (Olivia Williams) and King George VI (Samuel West), who became the first British monarch to visit with the Us president. Showing up with wife Elizabeth (Olivia Colman), aka the late Queen Mother, the King arrived for what was a tense meet-and-greet, with the monarch hoping Fdr would offer help as the clouds of war began to gather. »

Bill Murray Plays Fdr in the ‘Hyde Park on Hudson’ Trailer

You can always tell it’s Oscar season when films featuring big-name actors and actresses portraying famous historical figures start rolling into theaters (recent examples include The King’s Speech, My Week with Marilyn, etc.).

Roosevelt – who is joined by his Rushmore costar, Olivia Williams, as the First Lady Eleanor Roosevelt, Samuel West (Howard’s End) as King George VI, and Olivia Colman (Tyrannosaur) as Queen Elizabeth. However, similar to My Week with Marilyn, the film unfolds from the perspective of a more obscure name: Daisy (Laura Linney), Fdr’s distant cousin, who also becomes a good friend and confidante to the famous U.S. president – not ...

Bill Murray, President?! Watch Funnyman as Fdr in Hyde Park on Hudson Trailer

Now here's a new deal for Bill Murray. In a role that seems tailor-made for awards season, the Lost in Translation star plays President Franklin Delano Roosevelt in Hyde Park on the Hudson, which appears to be kind of a whimsical take on a meeting between the leader of the free world and the English royals. Abetted by Laura Linney and an amazingly transformed Olivia Williams as Eleanor Roosevelt, Murray brings an impish quality as the 32nd president, the only one to be elected to four terms. As well, the Democratic icon survived a bout with polio, which was believed to have been the cause of paralysis in his lower extremities. The trailer seems to focus on a visit by the royal family and the hijinks that »

Watch: Bill Murray Wants His Oscar

"Hyde Park on Hudson": Bill Murray's Best Actor make-up call?
Murray infamously lost the Oscar trophy to Sean Penn at the 2004 ceremony, but could find himself holding the little gold man this year thanks to "Hyde Park on Hudson," a bit of down-the-middle-looking Oscar bait that recalls "The King's Speech" and "My Week With Marilyn."
Of course, playing it somewhat safe might be by design: "Hudson" focuses on Franklin Delano Roosevelt (Murray) and a romantic relationship he had with his distant cousin, Margaret Stuckley (Laura Linney, providing some on-the-nose narration). Things come to a head during a weekend at Fdr's Hyde Park home, when the King and Queen of England stop by for a visit.
Olivia Colman and Samuel West play Queen Elizabeth and King George VI, while Murray's "Rushmore" co-star Olivia Williams plays Eleanor Roosevelt.
Still, despite the supporting cast, it's Murray's show. He affects a mannered voice as the four-term president, »

When you think of a king of England and a president of the United States your mind rarely travels to outdoor barbeques and jumping in pools, but that's just what goes on in the "Hyde Park on Hudson" trailer—and Bill Murray lights up portraying Franklin D. Roosevelt.
While the film is based around real events, we're not sure how historically accurate the movie will turn out, but watching Murray take on the charm and gentle mannerisms of America's 32nd President is a jolly ol' delight.
Check out the first trailer below, and learn more about "Hyde Park on Hudson" after the jump!

Hyde Park on Hudson: Bill Murray Is Fdr
18 May 2012 12:45 PM, PDT | Vulture | See recent Vulture news »
Did you see The King's Speech and think, What this movie could use is a four-term American president and a bunch of hot-dog jokes? Hollywood read your mind! And here is the result: Hyde Park on Hudson, which, despite its logline as "the Bill Murray as Franklin Delano Roosevelt movie," appears to include just as many royal high jinks as that other pedigreed movie about prewar King George VI. There's even a scene about his stammer! And one about how uptight the Queen Mum was. If your loyalties are to the Americans, then you should enjoy Bill Murray's aristocratic patois and his gentle wheelchair jokes; his Fdr is more charming granddad than WWII fixer — except charming granddads don't cheat on Olivia Williams with Laura Linney, that we know. Anyway, Bill Murray and a weirdo accent! We'll take it. »

Hyde Park on Hudson Trailer Starring Bill Murray
18 May 2012 12:43 PM, PDT | FilmJunk | See recent FilmJunk news »
Well here's something a little bit different for Bill Murray -- and by different I mean a movie that's not directed by Wes Anderson or Jim Jarmusch. Hyde Park on Hudson is a historical drama that explores the relationship between former U.S. president Franklin D. Roosevelt and his distant cousin Margaret Suckley. The story takes place primarily over a weekend in 1939 when Queen Elizabeth and King George VI came to visit Roosevelt's home in upstate New York (which was also the first time a reigning English monarch had ever come to the United States). Clearly there is a bit of a light-hearted tone and Fdr is portrayed as a slightly eccentric character, but based on the trailer I would hesitate to call it a comedy. In fact, the trailer gives off similar vibes to The King's Speech and My Week with Marilyn, and I'm almost wondering if this could »
