Things are going very well for Wes Anderson these days. The director not only unveiled his latest movie, "Moonrise Kingdom," at the Cannes Film Festival, it opened this weekend in limited release to staggering, record-breaking numbers, boasting the highest per-screen averages in history. Not bad at all. And good news for fans is that he's already cooking up his next project. During press rounds in Cannes, the director revealed that he had the screenplay complete for what would be "a Euro movie," and that the picture will find him reuniting with frequent collaborator and friend Owen Wilson. And Anderson continues to parcel out info, now spilling a little bit about the movie's premise.
"In my next film, the main character, who's a bit crazy, has a personal medium [mind reader] whose assistant is a teenager. I'll give the roles to more well known actors than the kids [in 'Moonrise Kingdom']. I'm still attached to my »

The BBC (via Rope of Silicon ) has aired this behind-the-scenes featurette on director Ron Howard's Rush , written by Peter Morgan and starring Chris Hemsworth ( The Avengers , Thor ), Daniel Bruhl, Olivia Wilde and Alexandra Maria Lara. Set against the sexy, glamorous and spectacular golden age of Formula 1 racing, the film portrays the exhilarating true story of two of the greatest rivals the world has ever witnessed - handsome English playboy James Hunt (Hemsworth) and his methodical, brilliant opponent, Niki Lauda (Bruhl). Following their personal lives on and off the track, Rush follows the two drivers as they push themselves to the breaking point of physical and psychological endurance, where there is no shortcut to victory and no margin for error.

Formula One racing season is in full swing, and so is production on Ron Howard's F1 drama Rush starring Chris Hemsworth, Daniel Brühl, and Olivia Wilde. The film chronicles the 1970s rivalry between Austrian F1 driver Niki Lauda (Brühl) and British driver James Hunt (Hemsworth). I'm not into racing here in the states since I'm more interested in the sport of paint-drying than watching cars go around a track 500 times. But in Europe, F1 is far more exhilarating since the cars travel around twists and turns rather than going left for 18 hours. Last year's documentary Senna made me more interested in the sport, and a new behind-the-scenes featurette for Rush has me hoping that Howard has captured that same sense of excitement. Hit the jump to check out the featurette. There's currently no release date for Rush, but I wouldn't count on seeing it until 2013. Via The Playlist. »

Not much has been said about Ron Howard's Rush to this point. Howard has been tweeting a few images from the set (right now he's tweeting images from the 70th Monaco Grand Prix), but otherwise the film remains a bit of an undiscovered up-and-comer, particularly with most news surrounding Howard having to do with The Dark Tower and/or "Arrested Development". It also doesn't help the film is still without a release date and runs the risk of being confused with Sony's bike messenger thriller Premium Rush starring Joseph Gordon-Levitt. However, today we get our first look at the film in this behind-the-scenes peek courtesy of the BBC in which you'd be hard pressed not to want to make instant comparisons to Asif Kapadia's much-talked-about 2011 documentary Senna. The way the video pieces together looks at the production and Chris Hemsworth (The Avengers) as Formula-1 race star James Hunt »

Over the weekend, the most glamorous F1 race of the season hit our TV screens as the Monaco Grand Prix was in full flow. During qualifying on Saturday, the BBC aired a brand new featurette for Ron Howard’s new movie, ‘Rush’ which gave us the first on-set footage and interviews from the movie.
Rush focuses on the rivalry between F1 legend’s German driver Niki Lauda and British driver James Hunt. Both had a very different ethos in how to live their lives and how to race their cars out on track and this new movie looks to investigate this further by bringing the story to the big screen. Chris Hemsworth portrays Hunt while Daniel Brühl takes on the role as Lauder. During the 4 minute featurette, we get to hear from both of them as well as Director Ron Howard about making the movie which is currently being shot right here in the UK. »

Wes Anderson and Noah Baumbach are producing a new quirky indie comedy that will star Owen Wilson, Olivia Wilde, and Brie Larson who most recently had a role in 21 Jump Street. The movie is called Squirrels to the Nuts, and it's being directed by Peter Bogdanovich. Jason Schwartzman is also in talks to join the project, but as of right now he's not officially attached.
The script for the film was written by Bogdanovich, and it follows a "hooker-turned-Broadway-thesp (Larson) and the recurring intersection of those two facets of her life. Wilson will play a Broadway director who pays for the young protag's services despite being married to the star of the play. He later gives Larson's character money to quit escorting and follow her dreams. Wilde will play a therapist whose own mother is in rehab for alcoholism."
There's a great and talented team behind the development of this movie, »

It only took legendary filmmaker Peter Bogdanovich over three decades to write another film about the ins and outs and ups and downs of the theater – and who can blame him after the massive bomb that was At Long Last Love - but Squirrels to the Nuts sounds just zippy enough to really make it. Bogdanovich has written the script for the new film and will also direct (a double duty he hasn’t pulled off since 1990′s Texasville), but it’s the film’s producers, Wes Anderson and Noah Baumbach, who should really set the tone for the film. Variety reports that the “quirky indie comedy” centers on a “hooker-turned-Broadway-thesp and the recurring intersection between those two facets of her life.” There’s nothing like prostitution to really keep you on your toes. Rising star Brie Larson will play the hooker with a heart of gold tap shoes, which sounds like yet another role that will »

Over a year and a half ago we heard about a new project from The Last Picture Show director Peter Bogdanovich with filmmakers Wes Anderson and Noah Baumbach producing. The indie comedy was said to merely be about "about an escort, a theatre director and a private detective," but that's all we knew at the time. Now Variety has some solid updates on the project, titled Squirrel to the Nuts, as frequent Anderson collaborator Owen Wilson is attached to star along with Olivia Wilde and 21 Jump Street and Scott Pilgrim vs. the World star Brie Larson. Apparently Jason Schwartzman might also join. Read on! More specifically the film follows a hooker turned Broadway actress (Larson) and the recurring intersection of those two facets of her life. Meanwhile, Wilson will play a Broadway director who pays the woman of the night for her sexual services, even though he's married to the »

It is well-known that Wes Anderson and Noah Baumbach create distinctive, willfully quirky films infused with an independent sensibility. We also know Owen Wilson is an Anderson mainstay, having appeared in five of the helmer’s films. Ok, so let’s start from the beginning here. The writer-directors duo coming together to produce Peter Bogdonovich‘s long gestating [...]

Peter Bogdanovich is probably best known for directing Paper Moon (1971) and The Cat’S Meow (2001) but he did also star in TV smash The Sopranos as Dr. Elliot Kupferberg. Today, Thn have news that he’s gathering a very impressive ensemble cast for Squirrels To The Nuts. So far, Owen Wilson, Olivia Wilde, Jason Schwartzman and Brie Larson (21 Jump Street) are all attached to the indie comedy.
We’ve got a sneaky feeling that this may be a quirky outing as Noah Baumbach and Moonrise Kingdom’S Wes Anderson are also on board to produce. Squirrels To The Nuts will focus on a hooker who has become a Broadway actor played by Brie Larson and supposedly her character will suffer “recurring intersection between these two facets of her life.” Schwarztman is being rumoured to play a writer who falls in love with Larson and, I quote again: “despite the fact »

Wes Anderson and Noah Baumbach share a great history. The writer-directors still make interesting movies without each other, say The Royal Tenenbaums and Greenberg, but there's something special when they work together. Case in point: Fantastic Mr. Fox. The pair haven't really extended themselves much beyond their own work, each with one producer credit not including the films they themselves directed. Actually, Baumbach has only the one (Joe Swanberg's Alexander the Last) while Anderson's extra credit came from the former's Academy Award nominated The Squid and the Whale. The duo have been trying to add another to their names for some time, coming together to produce Peter Bogdonovich's long gestating Squirrels to the Nuts and with the cast finally starting to come together the film is finally a step closer to getting made. Variety reports Owen Wilson, Olivia Wilde and Brie Larson have already joined the cast with »

Peter Bogdanovich has never truly gone away — you always see those glasses and that neck bandana in a documentary or at some public event — but it’s been quite a while since he actually released a film in theaters. Back in January, there was a rumor that he would reteam with The Last Picture Show‘s Cybill Shepherd on One Lucky Moon, a Westworld-inspired feature with Burt Reynolds, Willie Nelson, and Tom Petty. But, for better or for worse, that one story was the last we heard of it.
This looks to be his true return. Variety reports that Brie Larson (21 Jump Street, Scott Pilgrim), Owen Wilson, and Olivia Wilde have signed to Bogdanovich‘s next film: a comedy titled Squirrels to the Nuts, which Jason Schwartzman is “courted” for at the moment. (I initially thought, “We’ve got a potential Wes Anderson reunion on our hands!”– and then I »

• Mads Mikkelsen (Casino Royale) is in talks to torment the citizens of Asgard in Thor 2, as an unspecified villain who joins Tom Hiddleston’s Loki. Alan Taylor (Game of Thrones) will direct the film. [THR]
• Speaking of Thor 2, that sequel may stand in the way of Anthony Hopkins joining another sequel, Red 2. Hopkins would play a baddie in the latter film — which will star Bruce Willis, Helen Mirren, John Malkovich, Mary-Louise Parker, and Catherine Zeta-Jones — but his involvement hinges on his ability to schedule around playing Odin in Thor 2. [Deadline]
• Elsewhere in the Marvel-verse, two actors have signed onto Iron Man 3, which just started filming this week. One is quite familiar: Jon Favreau will return to play Tony Stark bodyguard Happy Hogan, notable since Favreau passed the directing reins for the franchise to Shane Black (Kiss Kiss Bang Bang). »

Nothing ever truly dies in Hollywood, and even though intel about "Squirrel To The Nuts" dropped way back in the fall of 2010 without much heard of it since, it seems lots has been happening behind the scenes, with the pic now making some giant strides, with three of our favorite filmmakers helping it happen.
Wes Anderson and Noah Baumbach are teaming to produce Peter Bogdanovich's first feature film in over a decade, "Squirrel To The Nuts." A pretty solid cast has been rounded up thus far with Owen Wilson, Olivia Wilde and Brie Larson set to star, and Jason Schwartzman circling, the Bogdanovich-penned tale is about a Broadway director (Wilson), who falls for a hooker-turned-actress (Larson) and uses her services despite being married to the star of the production. He later gives the hooker some money to pursue her dream of an acting career. As for Wilde, she'll play »
