Cinemax Recruits Prometheus Actor To Soldier On In Quarry Pilot
8 hours ago | Boomtron | See recent Boomtron news »
Cinemax just recruited a Marine sniper. Okay, so Prometheus actor Logan Marshall-Green isn’t really a soldier, but he’ll play one on TV. The network chose him to star in their new drama pilot titled Quarry.
The pilot is based upon a Max Allan Collins’ book, which follows a Marine sniper who returns home from Vietnam in 1973 to become disillusioned by the America he finds. It isn’t the one he left behind and it isn’t kind to him. “Combat-hardened and disillusioned, he’s recruited into a network of contract killers and corruption spanning the length of the Mississippi River,” reported THR. I told you it was a drama, and what a drama, but I see exciting thriller elements here as well.
If you are thinking that the title is weird, don’t. A quarry holds rocks and any member of the military can tell you there are »

Something's Happening To James Franco 'On The Inside'
22 May 2013 11:14 AM, PDT | Huffington Post | See recent Huffington Post news »
Cannes, France — James Franco's filmography is starting to look like a book shelf – and a very respectable one, at that.
The 35-year-old American has already played poets Allen Ginsberg ("Howl") and Hart Crane ("The Broken Tower"). He recently finished directing an adaptation of Cormac McCarthy's "Child of God" (having first flirted with doing McCarthy's novel "Blood Meridian"), as well as a biopic of the late poet and novelist Charles Bukowski.
But this week at the Cannes Film Festival, he premiered his version of William Faulkner's "As I Lay Dying," a novel of fractured perspectives and enormous cinematic challenges. Having earlier screened at Cannes a short film he made as a student at New York University ("The Clerk's Tale"), coming to the festival in the Un Certain Regard section – for innovating or daring works by young talent – is something of a graduation for Franco.

Cannes Film Festival 2013: 'As I Lay Dying' review
22 May 2013 7:49 AM, PDT | CineVue | See recent CineVue news »
★★☆☆☆ Following on from Baz Luhrmann's tipsy take on F. Scott Fitzgerald's Jazz Age classic The Great Gatsby, actor/director James Franco offers Cannes the second major literary adaptation from a canonical American author. Adapted faithfully by Franco himself from William Faulkner's novel, As I Lay Dying (2013) tells the tale of the Bundren family. Following the death of their mother, Addie Bundren (Beth Grant) and her kin embark on an epic journey to take the corpse to be buried in her hometown cemetery at Jackson, despite the distance, the rains and the rising river. However, each family member carries with them their own demons.
Jewel (Logan Marshall-Green) is born of an illicit union, Darl (Franco) is half-crazy and the father, Anse (Tim Blake Nelson), has a mouth of rotten stumps that he wants to get repaired. What's more, the relatively normal Cash (Jim Parrack) has his leg horrifically »

Cannes 2013 Review: James Franco’s Feature Directorial Debut, ‘As I Lay Dying,’ Is A Total Bust
21 May 2013 3:30 PM, PDT | FilmSchoolRejects.com | See recent FilmSchoolRejects news »
James Franco has proven himself an ambitious sort in recent years, branching off from merely working as an actor to studying for a master’s degree part-time, and now turning his talents towards directing. Franco certainly set the bar high for himself the first time on the horse, in adapting William Faulkner‘s notoriously challenging 1930′s work As I Lay Dying. Regrettably, Franco captures neither the sardonic wit of the novel nor any particularly compelling snapshots of his own in this rather muddled mess of a film, which is easily one of the weakest showings at this year’s Cannes Film Festival. Addie (Beth Grant) is soon to be dead, and so her children Cash (Jim Parrack), Jewel (Logan Marshall-Green), Dewey Dell (Ahna O’Reilly), Vardaman (Brady Parmenter), and Darl (James Franco) begin to make the relevant preparations alongside their father, Anse (Tim Blake Nelson), for her burial. Set in rural, downtrodden »

Cannes 2013: As I Lay Dying – first look review
20 May 2013 4:00 PM, PDT | The Guardian - Film News | See recent The Guardian - Film News news »
James Franco's adaptation of William Faulkner's novel is perhaps not entirely successful, but it's a brave and interesting attempt to pull off a film with a high degree of difficulty
Critics of James Franco are getting worn down, if not yet fully convinced, by his sheer energy and productivity. The actor, writer, director and artist has now come to Cannes with a bold and high-minded new project: a screen version of William Faulkner's 1930 novel As I Lay Dying, which Franco directs from his own screenplay, and co-stars as Darl Bundren, the glowering son in a dirt-poor family in rural Mississippi. Tim Blake Nelson is the haggard, toothless father Anse, and Beth Grant plays the dying mother Addie Bundren. Jim Parrack and Logan Marshall-Green play Cash and Jewel, the other two grownup brothers; Ahna O'Reilly plays their sister Dewey and Brady Permenter is the smallest child, Vardaman. When Addie dies, »

'As I Lay Dying' (2013) Movie Review - Cannes Film Festival
20 May 2013 3:03 PM, PDT | Rope of Silicon | See recent Rope Of Silicon news »
James Franco's As I Lay Dying is a film to be respected more for its filmmaking vision rather than its resulting narrative. In adapting William Faulkner's 1930 novel Franco has managed to capture the nuts and bolts of the story, utilizing split-screen to add more information to almost every scene. But as the film rolls along, and the curiosity in function goes away and the story is doing very little to entertain or engage, you can't help but ask yourself, "Why am I watching this?" The story follows the Bundren family in the aftermath of the death of Addie (Beth Grant), the family matriarch. Her wish is to be laid to rest in Jefferson, Mississippi and her family obliges in their own selfish and misunderstood ways, but the path to Jefferson with Addie stowed in a coffin on the back of a horse-drawn wagon proves treacherous to say the least. »

Cannes Review: James Franco's Ambitious Directorial Effort 'As I Lay Dying' is Dragged Down by Franco's Own Performance
20 May 2013 12:39 PM, PDT | Indiewire | See recent Indiewire news »
It's become a running gag stretched out over the annual festival calendar: Here's another project (or two, or three...) with and/or by actor-writer-director-artist-celebrity James Franco. Does the man ever sleep? How many James Francos are there? His latest directorial feature, the Faulkner adaptation "As I Lay Dying," was presented today as part of the Official Selection of the Cannes Film Festival. With this particular premiere, it seems that the multi-hyphenate has finally found the highest form of validation for his non-acting endeavors (though he does also star in the film). But does the Un Certain Regard title, which co-stars Tim Blake Nelson, Logan Marshall-Green and Ahna O'Reilly, deserve this honor, or is the Cannes selection, on the contrary, part of the problem, as it allows Franco to move quickly from project to project with celebrity-hungry festivals ready to give him a pass for work that's just passable?

Cannes Film Review: ‘As I Lay Dying’
20 May 2013 12:35 PM, PDT | Variety - Film News | See recent Variety - Film News news »
Barring a little noodling with split-screen compositions and to-camera monologues, James Franco plays it surprisingly straight with his latest directorial outing, a respectful, somewhat somnambulant adaptation of William Faulkner’s “As I Lay Dying.” Eschewing the gay characters and experimental tics that have marked his previous efforts, to say nothing of his abundant output elsewhere as a literary writer and pop performance artist, Franco offers up a competently acted, technically adequate Cliff Notes take on Faulkner’s narratively refracted tale of dirt-poor Mississippi folk in mourning. Pic’s theatrical shelf life will be limited, but ithas solid library potential, and a guaranteed audience base among English-lit majors behind on their term papers.
Published in 1930, “As I Lay Dying” holds a solid canonical position as one of Faulkner’s best, most frequently republished works, along with “The Sound and the Fury,” “Light in August” and “Absalom, Absalom!,” all of them set »

Cannes 2013: As I Lie Dying Trailer
14 May 2013 12:41 PM, PDT | EmpireOnline | See recent EmpireOnline news »
James Franco likes to wear a lot of creative hats; in fact, he seems to get itchy and nervous when he’s not working on several projects at once. Now the trailer for one of his most recent endeavours, As I Lay Dying, is online via Yahoo. To give the man some credit, not every young filmmaker would attempt to adapt a William Faulkner novel. But Franco’s always seemed just that little bit fearless, even if not everything he tries works out.On this one, he’s directing, writing and starring, playing Darl Bundren, who along with some of his family, is trying to honour the final wishes of his mother, Addie. She wants to be buried in the nearby town of Jefferson, which presents a logistical challenge for Darl, brother Cash (Jim Parrack) and their father Anse (Tim Blake Nelson).With the likes of Logan Marshall-Green, Danny McBride »
'As I Lay Dying' trailer: James Franco stars in his directorial debut
14 May 2013 12:05 PM, PDT | Pop2it | See recent Pop2it news »
The first trailer for James Franco's directorial debut, "As I Lay Dying," has hit the web in anticipation of the film's premiere at the Cannes Film Festival. Based on the William Faulkner novel of the same name, the movie tells the tale of a family bringing their dead mother to the place she asked to be buried. As the trailer shows, it's not a journey filled with happiness.
In addition to Franco, "As I Lay Dying" stars Richard Jenkins, Danny McBride, Logan Marshall-Green, Ahna O'Reilly and Jesse Heiman. That's a pretty solid cast for Franco's first feature film, and it will be interesting to see Franco and McBride, who previously starred opposite one another in "Your Highness," tackle such dramatic material.
"As I Lay Dying" does not yet have a theatrical release date. Franco also wrote the movie's screenplay. You can check out the poster for the movie below. »

Trailer for James Franco's As I Lay Dying
14 May 2013 7:00 AM, PDT | GeekTyrant | See recent GeekTyrant news »
Here's the first trailer for James Franco's new film As I Lay Dying, which he not only stars in, but also wrote and directed. The film is based on William Faulkner's classic novel, and I imagine this wasn't an easy book to adapt. The story is told in a "stream of consciousness writing style by 15 different narrators in 59 chapters. It is the story of the death of Addie Bundren and her family's quest and motivations—noble or selfish—to honor her wish to be buried in the town of Jefferson."
Franco is a multitalented guy. He has dabbled in all things entertainment, such as big blockbuster films, low budget art house films, art projects, teaching, writing novels, and more. I'm sure he welcomed the challenge of adapting this novel, and it looks like it could prove to be a great film.
Set in 1930s Mississippi, the movie also stars Danny McBride, »
