First Photos From The F Word Flaunt A Lovesick Daniel Radcliffe

12 May 2013 7:51 AM, PDT | We Got This Covered | See recent We Got This Covered news »

A fair amount of Hollywood’s output stems from The Blacklist. About 200, in fact. The F Word is one which found a place in 2008. The list is made up of the best as-yet unproduced screenplays, which are voted on by film industry development executives. It’s a chance for budding screenwriters to upload their spec scripts and see how Tinseltown responds.

One of those success stories, The F Word, was adapted by Elan Mastai, the writer behind, err, Alone In The Dark and Sam Jackson actioner, The Samaritan. Based on the play Cigars And Toothpaste by T.J. Dawe and Michael Rinaldi, the film captures the confusion between two friends who realise they quite fancy each other. That’s right folks, the F stands for friends. Not that other word you were thinking. Here’s the official synopsis:

The F Word. It’s not what you think. It means “Friends” as in, »

Paddy Considine Talks ‘The World’s End’ Cornetto Trilogy Finale

11 May 2013 2:26 AM, PDT | The Hollywood News | See recent The Hollywood News news »

The vastly talented Paddy Considine has been talking to Digital Spy about his experience the hardcore Edgar Wright, getting back together with Pegg & Frost for The World’S End and more about his character in the upcoming finale to the ‘Three Flavours Cornetto Trilogy’ out in the UK on July 19th and following in the USA on August 23rd.

Considine also took his place in Hot Fuzz as the other half of the two arrogant country cops (the other played by Rafe Spall), and has since cemented himself in the industry with the truly harrowing, yet excellent, Tyrannosaur. However, he actually found The World’S End one of the toughest shoots in recent times, saying this:

“It was hard – we were up against it – weather-wise, schedule-wise… it was tough, but we kept ourselves amused and when one [of us] was dipping, somebody else rallied round and pulled them out. We were a »

Win: 3 blu-ray copies of Life of Pi up for grabs

6 May 2013 7:01 PM, PDT | Shadowlocked | See recent Shadowlocked news »

Keen to continue our recent haul of fantastic competitions, Shadowlocked have teamed up with 20th Century Fox to giveaway three Blu-Ray copies of Ang Lee's Oscar winning epic, Life of Pi.

A film as beautiful as it is enchanting, Life of Pi walked away with Best Director (for Ang Lee) at the major film awards, accompanied closely by Best Cinematography, Original Score and Best Visual Effects. However, most importantly it allowed Ang Lee to finally leave behind the memory of Hulk, his 2003 box-office flop that has followed him as intimately as the destruction the of said green superhero.

With incredible cinematography from Oscar winner Claudio Miranda** (The Curious Case of Benjamin Button, Tron: Legacy) and masterful performances from newcomer Suraj Sharma, Irrfan Khan (The Amazing Spider-Man, Slumdog Millionaire), Rafe Spall (Prometheus, Anonymous) and Gerard Depardieu (Paris, je t’aime, City of Ghosts), the Life of Pi Blu-ray is loaded with additional content, »

DVD Review: 'Life of Pi'

30 April 2013 3:28 PM, PDT | CineVue | See recent CineVue news »

★★★★☆ The American Academy recently awarded genre-hopping director Ang Lee the Best Director prize for Life of Pi (2012), and it was well-deserved; Yann Martel's prize-winning novel, long-thought unfilmable, has been brought to life superbly in a visual masterpiece that won't soon be outdone. The tale begins with an avid writer (Rafe Spall) whom, upon hearing of a story so incredible it will "make him believe in God", travels to Montreal to talk with Piscine Molitor 'Pi' Patel (Irrfan Khan). Beginning with his upbringing in Pondicherry, India, Pi recounts his days grappling with different religions and meeting the girl of his dreams.

When Pi's (acclaimed and assured débutante Suraj Sharma, in the protagonist's youth) father decides to move the family to Canada to sell their zoo animals, a fierce storm sinks their Japanese freighter, killing his family. Managing to escape on a lifeboat with a few animals - including a formidable »

Play about maths genius equals Matilda's record, as Helen Mirren has first win and Top Hat is named best musical

The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night-Time dominated the UK's most prestigious theatre awards on Sunday night, equalling the record by picking up seven Oliviers, including best actor for its star, Luke Treadaway. The 28-year-old, who gives an astonishing performance as 15-year-old maths genius Christopher Boone, beat off heavyweight competition in the shape of Rupert Everett, James McAvoy, Mark Rylance and Rafe Spall to pick up the prize at the Royal Opera House ceremony.

The awards, now in their 37th year, also saw Helen Mirren win her first Olivier, for her performance as the Queen in The Audience. The musical honours were shared by Top Hat and Sweeney Todd, which won three apiece.

Mark Kermode's DVD round-up

Life of Pi; Bait; The Oranges

Even as Ang Lee's Life of Pi (2012, Fox, PG) picked up Oscars for direction, cinematography, music and, crucially, visual effects, there was disgruntlement among the VFX effects team that their work on the movie had not been sufficiently recognised. Certainly, the digital wizardry is extraordinary, making the audience believe that they have been cast adrift on an endless ocean with a man-eating tiger, putting us right there in the lifeboat with the story's titular hero. All the more tragic, then, that Rhythm & Hues, which provided so much of the film's computer graphic magic, had filed for bankruptcy just before the Oscars, the latest victim of a downward spiral that had seen VFX artists become the most important but least valued craftspeople in Hollywood.

The irony, of course, is that visual effects are often at their best when unnoticed, and the real triumph of Life of Pi »

The husband-and-wife duo will appear together in Harold Pinter's Betrayal, a play about an adulterous couple

Real-life husband and wife Daniel Craig and Rachel Weisz are to play an adulterous stage couple in a Broadway production of Harold Pinter's Betrayal.

Her character, Emma, is married to Craig's Robert, but is having an affair with Jerry, played by rising star Rafe Spall.

James Bond star Craig last appeared on Broadway in 2009 in A Steady Rain, where he received positive notices opposite Hugh Jackman even though the play itself did not.

The 15 Dumbest Horror Movie Characters

4 April 2013 11:00 AM, PDT | NextMovie | See recent NextMovie news »

People in horror movies do the darndest things, don't they? We've all had a "Don't go in there, you idiot!" moment or twelve while watching fright flicks. Horror sure does bring out the stupids.

This counter-intuitive behavior makes it seem like these folks are handing over their lives on a silver platter, so in honor of this weekend's "Evil Dead" let's celebrate the good, the bad and the dumber-than-a-bag-of-hammers of the genre. Appropriately enough, our first entry comes from that franchise.

15. Ash, 'Army of Darkness' (1992)

Body Donor: Bruce Campbell

Iq Fail: Even in the semi-serious first "Evil Dead" Campbell's Ash was a few french fries short of a Happy Meal, but by this third entry he had devolved into hubris incarnate. His buffoonery lands him in the Middle Ages, where he's forced to do battle with skeletons raised after he misspoke three lousy words he was supposed »

'Borat' Co-Writer Dan Mazer's 'I Give it a Year' Acquired by Magnolia Pictures

2 April 2013 9:00 AM, PDT | Thompson on Hollywood | See recent Thompson on Hollywood news »

Frequent Sacha Baron Cohen collaborator Dan Mazer has found a home at Magnolia Pictures for his feature film directorial debut, "I Give it a Year." The co-writer of "Bruno" and "Borat," Mazer premiered his film at this year's SXSW Film Festival. Unlike Cohen's controversial mockumentaries, "I Give it a Year" is a narrative film about the ups and downs of marriage a la Judd Apatow's "This is 40." The comedy-drama stars Rose Byrne (TV's "Damages") and Rafe Spall, who had a small part in 2012's Oscar-winning "Life of Pi," as a married couple in turmoil after their wedding. Magnolia Pictures will be distributing the comedy in theaters and VOD platforms later this year. Read Indiewire's review from SXSW here, and watch the trailer below. »
