Freida Pinto Kicks Up Her Heels For 'Desert Dancer'
17 May 2012 6:38 PM, PDT | NextMovie | See recent NextMovie news »
Who wouldn't want to hoof it with Freida Pinto?
The "Rise of the Planet of the Apes" beauty will soon be showing off her dance moves as she signs on to play the female lead in "Desert Dancer," according to Variety.
Alfred Molina and Reece Ritchie are also on board the film that's based on the life of Afshin Ghaffarian. The story is set in Iran, where most forms of dancing are banned, against the backdrop of the 2009 election protests — where, despite the dangers, Ghaffarian (Ritchie) is willing to risk his life to fight for his dream to become a dancer.
"Desert Dancer" is being written by Jon Croker, who's currently hard at work on the sequel to "The Woman in Black." The film marks the directorial debut of Richard Raymond, who previously produced "Heartless," the strange (and wonderful) Machiavellian tale starring Jim Sturgess and Clemence Poesy.

Birdsong
7 May 2012 9:58 AM, PDT | JustPressPlay.net | See recent JustPressPlay news »
The Pride and Prejudice mini-series starring Colin Firth and Jennifer Ehle established that an audience for 5-hour-long, romantic period pieces exists, but it seems the creators of PBS’s Birdsong missed a crucial piece of that equation: it was based on Jane Austen’s beloved novel. Sebastian Faulks’s novel Birdsong, though critically acclaimed and well-written, doesn’t have that base of millions of people who grew up reading it. Regardless, the PBS two-part mini-series features two talented actors, Eddie Redmayne and Clemence Poesy, competent direction, and some great cinematography. Yet it falls short of expectations. For all the talent that’s assembled here, the chemistry between Redmayne and Poesy never works, and the scenes in between have a number of unconvincing performances to worsen the situation. Birdsong deserves a screen adaptation, but one better than this.

DVD Playhouse—April 2012
By Allen Gardner
Extremely Loud & Incredibly Close (Warner Bros.) An eleven year-old boy (newcomer Thomas Horn, in an incredible debut) discovers a mysterious key amongst the possessions of his late father (Tom Hanks) who perished in 9/11. Determined to find the lock it matches, the boy embarks on a Picaresque odyssey across New York City. Director Stephen Daldry and screenwriter Eric Roth have fashioned a film both grand and intimate, beautifully-adapted from Jonathan Safran Foer’s novel, thought by most who read it to be unfilmable. Fine support from Jeffrey Wright, Sandra Bullock, John Goodman, Viola Davis and the great Max von Sydow. Also available on Blu-ray disc. Bonuses: Featurettes. Widescreen. Dolby and DTS-hd 5.1 surround.
Battle Royale: The Complete Collection (Anchor Bay) Adapted from Koushun Takami’s polarizing novel (compared by champions and detractors alike as a 21st century version of A Clockwork Orange) and set in a futuristic Japan, »

Birdsong Blu-Ray Review

Starring: Eddie Redmayne, Clemence Poesy, Matthew Goode, Richard Madden, Joseph Mawle
Running Time: 164 minutes approx
Certificate: 15
Extras: War Story, Love Story, On Set Featurettes
The BBC have never been a corporation to take risks, and in adapting Sebastian Faulks 1993 novel Birdsong to a two-part mini-series it was appealing to the two million or so that have purchased it. But how would it fair to an audience with no knowledge of the characters and the story?
Birdsong begins with a single shot of Stephen Wraysford (Redmayne) in a World War One trench; cut to Amiens, France 1910 Wraysford is introduced to a family he will be living with whilst on a business trip from London. During part one we meet the lead protagonists Wraysford and Isabelle (Poesy) as they embark on their love affair, whilst jumping to 1916 and the height of World War One when Lieutenant Wraysford is leading his men to the Somme. »

Clémence Poésy - Our new favourite mademoiselle
22 March 2012 5:00 PM, PDT | The Independent | See recent The Independent news »
The BBC's recent adaptation of Birdsong, Sebastian Faulks's much-loved novel of love and tunnelling in First World War France, may have split the critics, but it did concentrate attention once again on the beautiful, expressive features of Clémence Poésy. The 29-year-old Parisian actress played Isabelle, the unhappily married industrialist's wife and the object of Eddie Redmayne's rapt attention (note to Eddie; close your mouth when staring at a lady), and Poésy is fast becoming the go-to French actress for English-language TV dramas and films. »

Poesy Loves British Humour
8 February 2012 11:11 AM, PST | WENN | See recent WENN news »
French actress Clemence Poesy is eager to land more acting jobs in the U.K. after falling for the British sense of humour while filming with Eddie Redmayne.
The Harry Potter star has recently appeared in the acclaimed BBC adaptation of Sebastian Faulks' First World War love story Birdsong alongside the hotly-tipped British actor.
And she was so amused by the U.K. cast and crew's personalities, she's vowed to spend more time in Britain for work.
Poesy tells London's Evening Standard, "My favourite thing about the English is their sense of humour. I knew I had to make an effort if I wanted people to be friends with me. I had to be funny otherwise no one would want to have a drink with me. But it made me want to work over here (U.K.) more." »

The London Evening Standard Announce Winners Of Their British Film Awards 2011
7 February 2012 12:27 AM, PST | The Hollywood News | See recent The Hollywood News news »
Last night saw the announcement of the London Evening Standard British Film Awards. Looking down at the full list of winners, which we received shortly after they were announced last night, they seem to be one of the only award lists that have got pretty much all of the winners bang on. In fact, I believe I agree with all of them.
The Best Film award went to We Need To Talk About Kevin, a superb film that many critics agree is the best film of 2011. Michael Fassbender won for Shame and Jane Eyre; I agree with the first part of that for sure but cannot comment on his performance in Jane Eyre and I personally haven’t seen it, but I still cannot believe that he was largely overlooked at this year’s Oscars. Olivia Colman deservedly won Best Actress for Tyrannosaur and Senna also bagged Best Documentary. Andrew Haigh »

John Hurt, Olivia Colman and Clemence Poesy were among the stars left out in the cold at Monday night's Evening Standard British Film Awards after they were evacuated from the venue following a fire alarm.
Famous faces turned out in their droves to attend the prizegiving at the London Film Museum, where Colman was named Best Actress and Hurt received the Alexander Walker Special Award for his contribution to cinema.
However, the event was delayed after a fire alarm rang out during the champagne reception, according to BBC News.
The website reports all of the guests, including Tom Hiddleston and Downton Abbey's Jessica Brown-Findlay, were evacuated from the venue and remained outside until it was deemed safe to return inside. »

Where would we be without widescreen television? More to the point, where would Eddie Redmayne's mouth be? Presumably jutting out either side of the box. For surely it's only thanks to the miracle of horizontal image compression that all of the actor's lilo-sandwich kisser can be contained in a close-up.
And it came in for forensically close attention in the first part of Birdsong, the two-part adaptation of Sebastian Faulks's novel. Not since David Lean's epic heyday has a camera focused so indulgently on a man's face, when Peter O'Toole »

Diane Kruger and Vanessa Paradis Get Glam For the Annual Sidaction Dinner
27 January 2012 7:11 AM, PST | Popsugar.com | See recent Popsugar news »
Diane Kruger and Vanessa Paradis made the rounds at Paris's annual Sidaction benefit, proceeds of which go toward AIDS charities. The event, now in its tenth year, is one of the social centerpieces of Couture Fashion Week, and Diane and Vanessa have both been busy shuttling between shows and parties over the last few days. Yesterday, they caught up with friends like a Nina-Ricci clad Clémence Poésy, model Anja Rubik, and designer Christian Louboutin. Diane wore a lacy Erdem gown, while Vanessa was decked out in sequined Chanel. The front row duties have been mixed in with interviews for Vanessa. She's simultaneously talking up her new movie Café de Flore, which came out in France earlier this week. While making the press rounds, she addressed the recent rumors about a split with longtime love Johnny Depp. Vanessa called the stories "false," hopefully putting an end to the latest round of speculation about their romance. »

Viewers Complain Over Redmayne's Sexy Birdsong
24 January 2012 4:16 AM, PST | WENN | See recent WENN news »
Eddie Redmayne and Clemence Poesy have courted controversy with their new U.K. TV drama Birdsong - Britain's broadcasting watchdog has received a slew of complaints over their saucy scenes in the show.
The Harry Potter star shed her clothes for a bedroom scene with Redmayne in the first installment of the BBC drama on Sunday, and was also seen simulating a sex act on him.
Britain's broadcasting watchdog Ofcom has received complaints about the show, which was broadcast after the 9pm watershed, and media groups are calling for the BBC to prevent children viewing the drama online.
Vivienne Pattison, from Mediawatch UK, tells Britain's Daily Star, "It is all too easy for them to get hold of it on (online) BBC iPlayer if they want to.
"All they have to do is tick a box to say they're 16 and they're away. We are concerned about children's access to TV programmes on the internet. It's not enough to just put a warning at the start of a programme and make sure it is after the watershed." »
Clémence Poésy: 'I wondered why I was on Gossip Girl'

Clémence Poésy has admitted to having mixed feelings about her role on Gossip Girl The Birdsong actress played Eva Coupeau for four episodes of The CW's teen drama between filming roles in Danny Boyle's 127 Hours and French film The Silence of Joan (Jeanne Captive). "[I thought] 'It's going to be nice to have something light in between'," she told The Daily Telegraph. "But sometimes you take decisions and then you're like, 'What?' I just wondered why I was there. I should have thought it through a bit before." She added of growing up to (more) »

Clémence Poésy used Haribo cherry sweets for 'Birdsong' sex scene
23 January 2012 9:37 AM, PST | digitalspy | See recent digitalspy news »
Eddie Redmayne has said that he and Clémence Poésy used Haribo cherries when filming an intimate moment on Birdsong. The actor told The Daily Telegraph that they used the gummy sweets when filming an oral sex scene in the adaptation of Sebastian Faulks's novel. Redmayne said: "Clémence! Do you think I'm allowed to talk about our clever technique for the sex scene? Have you revealed?" He added: "We found cunning ways that involved Haribo cherries being stuck on to Clémence's thigh... but I don't want that to ruin the moment!" Poésy explained that her non-nudity clause for trailers and publicity shots is a result of being persuaded into filming a topless scene for a film as a teenager. "I just think I could have kept my bra on, and it would have been the same thing," she said of the (more) »

TV review: Birdsong | The Last Explorers
22 January 2012 4:05 PM, PST | The Guardian - TV News | See recent The Guardian - TV News news »
It's taken 20 years to reach the screen, but this glorious tale of love and war has been worth the wait
A man with a tin helmet and a faraway empty look stands amid the madness, the mud, and the misery of the western front, northern France, 1916. Suddenly the screen brightens, comes alive. There are trees, leaves, water, light, elegantly dressed women and chortling pheasants. We're still in northern France, just a few miles from where we were before, but we've gone back in time, to 1910. The same man is there, no helmet, younger and more focused, less tarnished.
That's how it goes in Birdsong (BBC1, Sunday); we yo-yo backwards and forwards between Claude Monet and Siegfried Sassoon. The war scenes are extraordinary – a meticulous portrayal of life in the trenches. Perhaps you don't get as great a sense of the scale of what's going on as you might have done »

Eddie Redmayne: 'Come February, the world will be sick of my face'
21 January 2012 4:07 PM, PST | The Guardian - Film News | See recent The Guardian - Film News news »
The actor has triumphed in the cinema with My Week with Marilyn, commanded the stage as Richard II and is about to explode on to our TV screens in Birdsong
He certainly does not look it, but Eddie Redmayne has just turned 30. The reason I'm aware of this is that I was perusing the actor's fan site before I met him – a couple of weeks prior to the big day, 6 January – and there was anguished discussion among the online community about what to give him as a gift. They settled on a scrapbook containing short messages and possibly photographs – "but please no inappropriate pictures" – that the ringleaders, Ivonne and Kate, would present to him on his birthday when he would be performing on stage at the Donmar Warehouse in London.
I don't want to spoil the surprise, I tell him towards the end of a relentlessly enjoyable two-hour lunch at a pub in Barnsbury, »
