Antonio Banderas Starring In Chilean Miners’ Tale ‘The 33′
2 hours ago | Variety - Film News | See recent Variety - Film News news »
Antonio Banderas will star in “The 33,” based on the true story of the 33 Chilean miners who were rescued after being trapped for 69 days in 2010.
Producer Mike Medavoy made the announcement Sunday at Cannes, where Good Universe is handling international sales. Production is scheduled to begin in the fall in Chile with Ed McGurn also producing.
Martin Sheen and Rodrigo Santoro are on board as part of the ensemble. Patricia Riggen (“La Misma Luna”) was attached to direct last fall.

Cine Latino covers, well, all things relating to Latino culture and the movies, every Wednesday. Banderas Mines the Story The remarkable rescue of 33 Chilean miners that occurred three years ago captivated the world’s attention; of course, it didn’t take long before Hollywood began planning to take the heart-wrenching, death-defying story to the big screen.

Film Review: Visceral ‘On the Road’ Honors a Great American Novel
23 March 2013 5:06 AM, PDT | HollywoodChicago.com | See recent HollywoodChicago.com news »
Chicago – The 1957 novel “On the Road” by Jack Kerouac, was a missile across the bow of American social conventions, and a precursor to the radical 1960s. For over fifty years, it has eluded a film adaptation, until director Walter Salles (“The Motorcycle Diaries”) found the way to capture it.
Rating: 4.0/5.0
It is a reverential depiction, with all the familiar characters from the novel springing to life. And that is the key word here…life. This adaptation is life itself, which is what the novel embraces. Somehow, by just indulging in the characters and their lifeblood, Walter Salles – in partnership with his screenwriter Jose Rivera – was able to understand what makes this story tick. It is about youth, discovery and the consequences regarding all of that. It is about the relationship between two kindred souls, not part of a lost generation, but part of everything that is discovered when challenging the society they are born into. »

Interview: Director Walter Salles Takes Us ‘On the Road’
20 March 2013 8:44 AM, PDT | HollywoodChicago.com | See recent HollywoodChicago.com news »
Chicago – One of most important counterculture novels in American literature history is “On the Road,” by Jack Kerouac. First published in 1957, the film rights were purchased at the time, but it took over fifty more years to get it onto the screen. Director Walter Salles (“The Motorcycle Diaries”) took on the adaptation.
The history of adapting the book to film is as much of a journey as the characters take in the story. After late 1950s Hollywood couldn’t interpret the radical morality in the book (Marlon Brando was attached to play the lead role at one point), and the rights were reacquired by Francis Ford Coppola in the late 1970s. Problems with several screenplay versions occurred, and it wasn’t until the mid-2000s that the team that produced “The Motorcycle Diaries” – screenwriter Jose Rivera and director Walter Salles – took their own journey with the classic novel, and the »

DVD Review: 'On the Road'
26 February 2013 7:40 AM, PST | CineVue | See recent CineVue news »
★★☆☆☆ Following the success of Walter Salles and Jose Rivera's last collaboration, 2004 Guevara biopic The Motorcycle Diaries, the duo set about tackling Jack Kerouac's apparently 'unfilmable', revered Beat Generation bible On the Road. Starring Sam Riley, Garrett Hedlund and Kristen Stewart, as well as a plethora of recognisable supporting cameos, Salles' elegantly-shot adaptation captures the beauty of the open road, yet fails to traverse its source material's rambling and incredibly conceited methodology. Riley plays Kerouac's fictional cipher Sal Paradise, a young writer living in post-war America, struggling to find inspiration.

Blu-ray Review: On The Road
19 February 2013 2:01 AM, PST | Blogomatic3000 | See recent Blogomatic3000 news »
Stars: Sam Riley, Garrett Hedlund, Kristen Stewart, Kirsten Dunst, Tom Sturridge, Viggo Mortensen | Written by Jose Rivera | Directed by Walter Salles
Another piece of great literature comes to the big screen, in the form of Jack Kerouac’s road-novel On The Road, telling the story of two friends as they travel all over post-World War Two USA. Kerouac’s work is possibly one of the most famous pieces of travel writing, but also of what is known as the ‘Beat Generation’, so it’ll be interesting to see how the film adaptation is received. I personally have not read the whole thing, so came to it with the limited knowledge of only have started it a while back.
Soon after the death of his father, Sal Paradise (Sam Riley) meets Dean Moriarty (Garrett Hedlund) through a friend. They soon become good friends, and embark on a journey across the United States, »

A Beat Renaissance Sexes Up Sundance
18 January 2013 11:52 AM, PST | Indiewire | See recent Indiewire news »
In 2010, a feature about Allen Ginsberg’s epic poem “Howl” written and directed by Rob Epstein and Jeffrey Friedman premiered in competition on opening night of the Sundance Film Festival. This year, two adaptations of Beat novels will screen at the festival: “Kill Your Darlings,” based on an early William Burroughs/Jack Kerouac collaboration, will compete for the dramatic grand jury prize once it premieres Friday afternoon, and a version of Kerouac’s late-career novel “Big Sur” will show as part of the Premieres line-up Wednesday, Jan. 23. These, of course, come on the heels of Walter Salles’ and Jose Rivera’s elliptical adaptation of the book that elevated the Beats to national recognition in 1957, Kerouac’s “On the Road,” which opened in theaters at the end of 2012.
