Francis Ford Coppola Returns to Italian-American Family Dramas With New Film
17 hours ago | FilmSchoolRejects.com | See recent FilmSchoolRejects news »
Hey, it certainly sounds better than Twixt. THR reports that Francis Ford Coppola is readying a new feature that should appeal to more of his traditional fanbase. The film is currently untitled, but the outlet reports that it “will chronicle an Italian-American family and span from the 1930s to the 1960s.” The project is also described as “a coming-of-age story that focuses on a boy and girl in their late teens.” While details are obviously slim as of now, The Wrap’s Jeff Snider also tweeted today that “Dance will be a key element in the new Francis Ford Coppola movie. That’s all, folks.” So that’s…something. Oh, is this going to be a new Dirty Dancing? Is that it? Coppola is currently writing the screenplay himself, and while the project has no firm studio commitments (despite having offices on the Paramount lot), a pair of casting directors have already been brought on (Courtney Bright and »

Blu-ray Review: Ghibli Hits ‘Howl’s Moving Castle,’ ‘My Neighbor Totoro’
22 hours ago | HollywoodChicago.com | See recent HollywoodChicago.com news »
Chicago – I usually avoid this kind of hyperbole but I adore the best of Studio Ghibli and know their entire catalog well and so I feel I can say it — “My Neighbor Totoro” is one of the best family films of all time. Hayao Miyazaki’s gentle variation on “Alice in Wonderland,” has everything that we identify with Ghibli, including a respect for nature, magical sense of fantasy, and importance of family.
Available in HD for the first time, “Totoro” is a must-own. While “Howl’s Moving Castle,” also released this week, doesn’t quite stand with the best of Miyazaki (“Totoro,” “Spirited Away,” “Nausicaa,” and “Princess Mononoke,” for the record), it’s still a fun movie and a great fit for HD. It looks beautiful. Miyazaki is timeless and being able to see films as visually stunning as the Ghibli works on Blu-ray is a gift. I wish they were all available. »

Francis Ford Coppola's Twixt Does Not Pass Go; Heads Directly to Home Video
17 May 2013 1:48 PM, PDT | DreadCentral.com | See recent Dread Central news »
The next film from legendary director Francis Ford Coppola, Twixt, is on its way to home video. Look for it from 20th Century Fox on Blu-ray and DVD July 30th. Or... don't. From what we hear it's kinda crappy. Time will tell.
Inspired by the Gothic horror of Edgar Allan Poe, Francis Ford Coppola's latest tells the tale of a burnt-out mystery writer (Val Kilmer) who gets mixed up in murder and evil in a California town. Bruce Dern, Elle Fanning, David Paymer, and Ben Chaplin also star.
Synopsis
A writer with a declining career arrives in a small town as part of his book tour and gets caught up in a murder mystery involving a young girl. That night, in a dream, he is approached by a mysterious young ghost named V. He's unsure of her connection to the murder in the town but is grateful for the story being handed to him. »

Francis Ford Coppola's 'Twixt' Finally Coming To Blu-Ray & DVD In The U.S.
17 May 2013 9:05 AM, PDT | The Playlist | See recent The Playlist news »
After a long, long absence from filmmaking, legendary "The Godfather" helmer Francis Ford Coppola resurfaced a few years back with some of his most impressive works since the early 1980s. We didn't wholeheartedly adore either "Youth Without Youth" or "Tetro," but there was still much to admire, and furthermore, they felt like Coppola had returned to filmmaking with the vigor and energy of a young man, suggesting much more to come. His next film, "Twixt," continued that approach; an experimental, partly 3D horror film starring Val Kilmer and Elle Fanning, which Coppola planned to take on the road, remixing the film live with an iPad. It was an impressively forward-thinking approach for the veteran filmmaker, even if, according to most of the reviews, including our own, it worked better in theory than in practice. The film never had a real release, though it did pop up on one screen on the West Coast in August, »

The Bling Ring – Cannes first look review

Sofia Coppola's intuitive and atmospheric tale of teen burglars who target Hollywood celebrities is an unexpected pleasure
Sofia Coppola is a director who has perplexed and annoyed many with her indulgent portraits of poor little rich-and-famous girls. Personally, I couldn't sit still for her last film, Somewhere, which featured Elle Fanning as the adored and adorable teen daughter of a famous actor dad. Her movies have been in danger of becoming gritless oysters of non-satire, lenient insider studies, offering celluloid hugs to the cossetted comfortable.
But her new film, the opening gala to the Un Certain Regard section of Cannes, is an interesting surprise. There is something in her unjudging approach that is unexpectedly appropriate – and effective. It lets her get up close and personal to the story and characters, which conventional irony (from a director like Larry Clark or a writer like Bret Easton Ellis) wouldn't get near. »

Upcoming Cinderella Has Found Her Prince in the Person of a TV King
8 May 2013 2:51 PM, PDT | Alt Film Guide | See recent Alt Film Guide news »
Richard Madden: Game of Thrones’ King of the North to play Prince Charming in Cinderella Richard Madden, Game of Thrones‘ King of the North Robb Stark, has been cast as Prince Charming in Disney’s live-action retelling of the Cinderella fairy-tale. A few days ago, Lily James (Wrath of the Titans, Downton Abbey) was announced as the actress to try on Cinderella’s tiny glass slippers. The other major Cinderella cast member announced so far is Academy Award winner Cate Blanchett (Katharine Hepburn in The Aviator), who’ll play the evil Lady Tremaine, Cinderella’s wicked stepmother — perhaps with shades of Queen Elizabeth I? Cinderella follows in the (sizable) footsteps of other fairy-tales that have reached the world’s screens in recent years: Tim Burton’s Alice in Wonderland (2010), starring Mia Wasikowska as Alice and Johnny Depp as the Mad Hatter, grossed $1.02 billion worldwide.

Craziest Makeup At The Met Ball — Did Punk Go Too Far?
7 May 2013 9:13 AM, PDT | HollywoodLife | See recent HollywoodLife news »
Although the theme was Punk: Chaos to Couture, many stars took the suggestion a little too literally on the carpet. Were these looks couture or too costume? Vote below.
The Costume Institute Benefit at The Metropolitan Museum on May 6 in New York City brought hundreds of stars to the glorious red carpet. While some stars hit the mark, like Miley Cyrus, others took the theme too far. Who rocked the craziest makeup look of the night, HollywoodLifers?
Met Ball Makeup — Punk Rock Rules
Elle Fanning wore a romantic half up-do but her eye makeup was all wrong! She wore hot pink eyeliner with one inch long wings. On top, she wore royal blue eyeshadow. Color overkill! Even though she’s young and should be talking beauty risks, this was not the right move!
Lily Collins wore blue streaks in her wavy brown hair. Her hair streaks were definitely cool and »

The 5 Worst Dressed at the 2013 Met Gala Completely Failed at Life
7 May 2013 7:00 AM, PDT | TooFab | See recent TooFab news »
Or, "If These Dresses Were Living Beings, Some Mean People Would Probably Bully Them." ... But that's a big, unfunny joke, though, guys, because nothing in life deserves to be bullied, which is exactly why we're going to bully these dresses -- because they aren't living entities. But man, here it is -- the Worst Dressed of the 2013 Met Gala, and wow. Aren't they just the worst? Sarah Jessica Parker Yes, Sarah Jessica Parker, who thinks that there should be another "Sex and the City" movie, which, the possibility is really a moot point right now, is definitely dressing like Carrie Bradshaw would dress at an upscale, eighties-themed prom, complete with the awkwardness and sadness that goes along with a senior prom most times. Lily ColeWas Lily Cole trying to go for "Scariest Doll-Looking Thing of the Night", or was that just a happy coincidence? Because if you've ever watched "Are You Afraid of the Dark? »

Met Gala 2013: Mary-Kate and Ashley Olsen and more sisters rocking the red carpet
6 May 2013 8:45 PM, PDT | Pop2it | See recent Pop2it news »
It's a punk-themed Met Gala 2013 -- complete with some crazy dye jobs and a Morticia-Addams-meets-Billy-Idol look. But how did the sister pairs fare?
Above are twins Mary-Kate (right) and Ashley Olsen (left). Mk seems to be channeling Little Edie in a navy blue dress and yellow coat with fur cuffs and collar, while Ashley is sporting an orange sparkly dress with a sheer overlay.
We aren't sure either one of them screams "punk" -- what do you think?
Below (top) are sisters Rooney (right) and Kate Mara (left). They might win for the least-similar outfits out of the pairs of sisters. Rooney seems to be equating "punk" with "goth," while Kate looks late for the homecoming dance.
Finally, we have Dakota (right) and Elle Fanning (left). Elle's a little too hippie to be punk and Dakota just looks pretty.
Thoughts, readers? Which sisterly pair got it right for the punk night? »

Worst Dressed at the 2013 Met Gala: Elle Fanning, Katy Perry and More
6 May 2013 8:18 PM, PDT | E! Online | See recent E! Online news »
While the 2013 punk-themed Met Gala certainly didn't disappoint with fab fashions, there were certain guests whose looks were more chaotic than couture. Some gals ignored the theme altogether, like Elle Fanning, whose psychedelic tie-dye print Rodarte dress and matching multihued eye makeup had us scratching our heads Katy Perry's bizarre Dolce and Gabbana crown-and-embellished-dress combo also felt more baroque than punk, and we didn't quite buy the explanation she gave Vogue about "channeling the original queen of punk, Joan of Arc." And then there were those who were a little too enthusiastic in embracing the punk-inspired looks, like Madonna, whose over-the-top combination of fishnet, »
