'The Marriage Plot' To Be Adapted For Film

From World & Film
Hollywood seems to be getting serious in its on-again, off-again romance with the nineteenth-century novel. Things started heating up late last year when director Joe Wright (“Atonement”) fast-tracked his high-gloss production of “Anna Karenina.” Then came “Submarine” director Richard Ayoade’s very promising cinematic rendering of Dostoyevsky’s "The Double," starring Mia Wasikowska, who’s suddenly become the redux romantic heroine of choice with her finely calibrated performance in last year’s gothic iteration of “Jane Eyre” and her upcoming title role in the upcoming adaptation of Flaubert’s "Madame Bovary", which added Ezra Miller, the creepy kid from “We Need to Talk About Kevin,” to its talented cast earlier this week.
Now it seems that romantic novels may have upgraded to “trending” status — a distinction that places the last century’s literary giants in dubious company alongside the likes of “The Avengers” and John Travolta’s »
On The Rise 2012: 10 Directors Who Look To Be Bright Sparks Of The Future
15 May 2012 11:33 AM, PDT | The Playlist | See recent The Playlist news »
Like it or not, filmmaking is undeniably a director's medium. It wasn't always like that, of course: it was only the coming of the auteur theory in the 1950s and 1960s that popularized the idea of the director as the person responsible for all that was great and terrible about a picture. And while anyone who's worked in film knows that it's a collaborative medium, there's still no better way of seeing where the form might be going in the next few years than by looking at the directors who've been making splashes of late.
So, hot on the heels of our On The Rise pieces focusing on actors, actresses and screenwriters, we've picked out ten directors who've arrived in a big way in the last year or so, and look set for even greater things in the near future. Any tips of your own? Let us know in the comments section below. »

Ezra Miller To Star Opposite Mia Wasikowska In 'Madame Bovary,' Richard Ayoade's 'The Double' Rounds Out Cast
14 May 2012 9:17 AM, PDT | The Playlist | See recent The Playlist news »
After breaking out with his acting debut in "After School," Ezra Miller reaffirmed his talent to the film world last year with Lynne Ramsey's "We Need To Talk About Kevin" where he went toe-to-toe with Tilda Swinton. While he was briefly linked to the failed blockbuster "Akira" project, Miller continues to make interesting choices, now lining up a starring role in an adaptation of Gustave Flaubert's "Madame Bovary" opposite Mia Wasikowska, with Paul Giamatti also confirmed.
Helmed by "Cold Souls" director Sophie Barthes from a script by Rose Barreneche, the film centers on a doctor's wife, Emma Bovary, who has adulterous affairs and lives beyond her means in order to escape the banalities and emptiness of provincial life. Miller will play a lover of Wasikowska's Bovary with Giamatti's role unknown. Previous reports revealed that Barthes' take will be a "fresh retelling emphasizing the more youthful and contemporary themes" which »

Michelle Monaghan Boards Brosnan and Wilson’s ‘Coup’; Ezra Miller Joins ‘Madame Bovary’ With Mia Wasikowska
11 May 2012 1:33 PM, PDT | The Film Stage | See recent The Film Stage news »
I let out a chuckle or two when Owen Wilson went Behind Enemy Lines (sorry) by singing for The Coup, but I’ll admit: the subsequent additions have me changing the old tune piece by piece. About a week after Pierce Brosnan got in on the fun, Deadline reports that Michelle Monaghan is now locked to play the wife of Wilson‘s character, himself the patriarch of an American family trying to escape a political (you guessed it) coup led by violent rebels in a foreign land.
Helmed by John Erick Dowdle and Drew Dowdle (Devil, Quarantine), The Coup is said to be a Taken-like story with, if I’m not mistaken, a little more international politics and intrigue to top it off. Brosnan‘s character might be the only one of relative interest, however — despite the slight similarity to a prior role — being “a mysterious and ultimately heroic government operative. »

It's Official: Francis Lawrence Will Direct 'The Hunger Games' Sequel 'Catching Fire'
3 May 2012 10:37 AM, PDT | The Playlist | See recent The Playlist news »
Well, it's officially official. Two weeks after he got the offer, and everyone assumed he was going to do it anyway, Lionsgate has formally announced that Francis Lawrence will be directing "The Hunger Games" sequel, "Catching Fire."
The director takes over for Gary Ross who departed the franchise nearly a month ago, leading to a short but intensive search for a helmer to grab the reins that included names like David Cronenberg, Alfonso Cuarón, Alejandro González Iñárritu, Tomas Alfredson, Joe Cornish, Duncan Jones, Cary Fukunaga and Juan Antonio Bayona all being tossed around. But in Lawrence, the studio has landed someone who is at ease with big effects and scale, having helmed films like "Constantine" and "I Am Legend," and he can do character stuff too as evidence by "Water For Elephants." The big question is whether or not the sequel will feature any major aethestic changes (many fans complained »

Don't Make A Sad Face, Ewan
2 May 2012 8:27 AM, PDT | FilmExperience | See recent FilmExperience news »
Ja from Mnpp here. Have y'all heard the lousy news that HBO has passed on The Corrections? An adaptation of Jonathan Franzen's well-loved 2001 bestseller, the HBO series was going to be produced by the terrifically talented Noah Baumbach and had lined up a truly amazing cast with Chris Cooper and Dianne Wiest as the parents and Ewan McGregor and Maggie Gyllenhaal and Greta Gerwig as their adult children. Ahh! That cast leaves me a little breathless.
They filmed a pilot, which all of us should immediately call our state representatives about enacting legislation which would force the immediate dissemination thereof. There's like a Freedom of Information Act or something right? Bring that up. We can do it!
Anyway HBO passed on it. The plan had been fairly massive - they wanted to make four ten-episode long seasons - so it always seemed a little too good to be true. »

Were They Killing Horses Or Something? HBO Passes On Noah Baumbach's 'The Corrections'
1 May 2012 1:51 PM, PDT | The Playlist | See recent The Playlist news »
Well, call it karma or something. While we were thrilled that HBO picked up "True Detective," a new crime series that will star Matthew McConaughey and Woody Harrelson, with Cary Fukunaga ("Jane Eyre," "Sin Nombre") directing, it looks like another starry project unfortunately won't be going forward.
The network has passed on Noah Baumbach's "The Corrections," produced by Scott Rudin. Based on the acclaimed novel by Jonathan Franzen, the project lined up an incredile slate of talent with Ewan McGregor, Maggie Gyllenhaal, Chris Cooper, Dianne Wiest, Rhys Ifans and Greta Gerwig on board for the story of a dysfunctional and repressed Midwestern family. Ambitions were very, very high for the project which, if the two-hour pilot had passed the test at HBO, was being planned for four ten-episode seasons, presumably greatly expanding the scope of the book. But for whatever reason, HBO has decided not to move on.

Matthew McConaughey and Woody Harrleson head to HBO with 'True Detective'
1 May 2012 11:20 AM, PDT | Zap2It - From Inside the Box | See recent Zap2It - From Inside the Box news »
HBO has won the rights to "True Detective," a drama series starring Matthew McConaughey and Woody Harrelson.
The cable channel has given the show a straight-to-series order of eight epsiodes, Deadline reports. The show will be McConaughey's first-ever regular role on a series and Harrelson's first since "Cheers" ended in 1993.
The series from writer Nic Pizzolatto ("The Killing") snagged its two stars before being shopped to networks. It follows two detectives who investigate a serial killer in Louisiana, splitting the narrative between 1995, when the case first opens, and the present, when Harrelson and McConaughey's characters are testifying in court. Cary Fukunaga ("Jane Eyre") is set to direct all eight episodes and executive produce with Pizzolatto, Richard Brown and Steve Golin.
"True Detective" is set up as an anthology: Subsequent seasons would use a similar structure but would follow different characters. Harrelson and McConaughey would therefore be committed to only a »

HBO Picks Up Cary Fukunaga-Directed Crime Series 'True Detective,' With Woody Harrelson and Matthew McConaughey
1 May 2012 6:33 AM, PDT | Indiewire Television | See recent Indiewire Television news »
"True Detective," an eight-part crime drama set to be directed by Cary Fukunaga ("Jane Eyre") and to star Woody Harrelson and Matthew McConaughey, has been picked up by HBO for a straight-to-series order, according to Deadline. Written by Nic Pizzolatto (of the novel "Galveston"), "True Detective" will jump time periods and perspectives, going between 1995, when a murder is committed by a Louisiana serial killer, and 2012, when the case is reopened, with Harrelson and McConaughey playing the investigating detectives. This series was put together, with two episodes and a series bible written, before it was shopped around to networks -- it'll mark McConaughey's first regular TV gig, and as Deadline notes, because the pieces are already in place, "True Detective is gearing up to start production right away."

HBO Picks Up 'True Detective' TV Series Starring McConaughey & Woody Harrelson With Cary Fukunaga To Direct
1 May 2012 5:58 AM, PDT | The Playlist | See recent The Playlist news »
Yesterday we got our first look at Aaron Sorkin’s “The Newsroom,” and we also heard that both “Girls” and “Veep” – despite only having aired a total of five episodes between them – had both been renewed for a second season. It must be a busy week in the HBO offices, because hot on the heels of all that they’ve announced that they’ve made an eight-episode, straight-to-series order for a show headlined by Matthew McConaughey and Woody Harrelson.
“True Detective” is described by Deadline as “an eight-part event drama series project” and “an elevated serial narrative with multiple perspectives and timeframes.” The focus is on two detectives, Rust Cohle and Martin Hart (played the two Texans McConaughey and Harrelson, respectively) whose lives become entangled during a 17-year hunt for a serial killer in Louisiana. The show will flit between the detectives’ testimonies in the present and their prior investigations, »

HBO Orders 8 Episodes of True Detective Starring Matthew McConaughey and Woody Harrelson

When we first heard about True Detective, an anthology cop drama whose first season will star Matthew McConaughey and Woody Harrelson, Anonymous Content was still shopping it around. Adam wrote, "I’m selfishly hoping it lands on HBO." I have great news for you Adam, and readers---it did! It did land on HBO! THR reports the premium cable network ordered eight episodes for the first season, scripted by Nic Pizzolatto (The Killing). McConaughey and Harrelson play two detectives who are drawn into the search for a serial killer in Louisana: "The investigation of a bizarre murder in 1995 is framed and interlaced with testimony from the detectives in 2012, when the case has been reopened." Cary Fukunaga (Sin Nombre) will direct all eight episodes of the first season. If True Detective is successful, the plan is to clean the slate in future seasons with a similar structure, but tell a new story with a different cast. »
