2 May 2013 10:37 AM, PDT | Indiewire Television | See recent Indiewire Television news »
Well, once again, HBO proves that they are the masters at attracting top talent to come to their network. Just this year, their roster includes filmmakers such as David Mamet and Steven Soderbergh, the latter finally being able to make "Behind the Candelabra," his long-gestating Liberace film with Michael Douglas and Matt Damon (coming out later this month). They also have the Duplass Brothers, Cary Fukunaga, and Guillermo del Toro, to name a few, with projects on the horizion. And now you can add Lisa Cholodenko to the mix.Her project is “Olive Kitteridge,” based on the Pulitzer Prize-winning book by Elizabeth Strout. Playwright Jane Anderson has adapted the collection of short stories into a four-hour mini-series and Lisa Cholodenko is attached to direct with Frances McDormand and Richard Jenkins starring. “Olive Kitteridge” tells the story of “a seemingly placid New England town wrought with illicit affairs, crime and tragedy, »

Matthew McConaughey Confirms Role in 'Interstellar' and New French Poster for 'Mud'
3 April 2013 9:29 AM, PDT | Rope of Silicon | See recent Rope Of Silicon news »
We'll tackle that headline in order beginning with the Interstellar news. While in New Orleans, filming the upcoming HBO crime series "True Detective" with Woody Harrelson for Sin Nombre director Cary Fukunaga, Matthew McConaughey was asked about being offered a role in Christopher Nolan's Interstellar. Without so much as a clue to his character he said, "I'm confirming," and left it at that. All we know about the character is his name is Cooper and all we know about Interstellar is that it involves time travel and alternate dimensions in a story that sees a group of explorers travel through a wormhole. The script was written by Nolan's brother, Jonathan Nolan, and is based on scientific theories developed by a Kip Thorne, a theoretical physicist, a gravitational physicist and astrophysicist at Caltech. Like Nolan's Inception, the story is said to be "complex and multi-layered". I'm not sure a filming date has been announced, »

Matthew McConaughey Confirms He's Taken Role In Christopher Nolan's 'Interstellar'
3 April 2013 5:24 AM, PDT | The Playlist | See recent The Playlist news »
Nope, this isn't any April Fools. Last week, Christopher Nolan fans and those keeping an eager eye on the recent choices of Matthew McConaughey got a nice surprise when it was revealed that the actor was offered the lead in the director's upcoming sci-fi flick "Interstellar." Now, it looks like he's taken the part. The StarTribune recently chatted with McConaughey who's currently shooting "True Detective," Cary Fukunaga's crime series for HBO (and another project we're eagerly awaiting), and when asked about "Interstellar" he told the paper "I'm confirming" that he had accepted the part in Nolan's movie -- and that's it. As always, no details on the character or anything else, and considering how locked up Nolan keeps intel regarding his movies, we'll just have to wait until the next morsel drops. But, McConaughey plus Nolan? All right, all right, all right... It'll be a return to the genre »

Jane Eyre: Multimedia Heroine. The Movie and the Novel
2 February 2013 3:30 AM, PST | HeyUGuys.co.uk | See recent HeyUGuys news »
I know many a person for whom Charlotte Brontë’s Jane Eyre is their favourite novel. But what about the recent film adaptation? Cary Fukunaga’s 2011 movie, starring Michael Fassbender and Mia Wasikowska grossed $11,242,660, but despite its low gross, the movie was nominated for 15 awards, including the BAFTA and Oscar costume design awards.
What I am interested in, though, is how true to the novel this adaptation is. I first read Jane Eyre not long ago, in 2010, so it was relatively fresh in my mind when I first watched the movie.
The first and most obvious difference between the novel and the movie is the structure. The novel is structured in a linear, chronological way, where the movie mixes this up. In Fukunaga’s adaptation, we first see Jane as an adult, with flash-backs to her childhood, schooling, and her time at Thornfield. This very much changes our perception of Jane as the heroine. »

Sundance Review: 'Who Is Dayani Cristal?' strands Gael Garcia Bernal in the desert
17 January 2013 11:53 PM, PST | Hitfix | See recent Hitfix news »
From Rory Kennedy's documentary short "The Fence" to Cary Fukunaga's bracing-yet-lyrical "Sin Nombre," the border experience and America's immigration failures have been reliable Sundance staples in recent years, so it was fitting to have Marc Silver and Gael Garcia Bernal's "Who Is Dayani Cristal?" kicking off the 2013 Festival on Thursday (January 17) night. "Who Is Dayani Cristal?" takes the familiar backdrop and attempts to present it in a complicated way, creating a well-intentioned documentary that makes admirable intellectual sense on paper, but becomes an occasional semiotic nightmare in execution. On one hand, had this been yet another straight-ahead »

Michelle Monaghan Makes A Date With Matthew McConaughey, Woody Harrelson & HBO
15 January 2013 12:04 PM, PST | Boomtron | See recent Boomtron news »
Michelle Monaghan, star of Machine Gun Preacher and Source Code, has a date with Matthew McConaughey and Woody Harrelson. Don’t worry, the HBO network will chaperone. These three high profile stars factor into a similarly high profile new pilot called True Detective. That’s right, this is a pilot for HBO, not a feature film.
HBO has already requested eight episodes of True Detective, which means the idea has gone practically straight to series. That doesn’t happen every day in this tricky TV climate. Deadline reported that Monaghan would be joining the boys on the project which also has a “high concept”.
At it’s core, the crime drama spotlights a 17-year long hunt for a dangerous serial killer in the state of Louisiana. To tell that story, we’ll see events unfold as seen from different perspectives. I don’t know if we’ll see a different »

You had us at Matthew McConaughey and Woody Harrelson. But toss "Sin Nombre" and "Jane Eyre" helmer Cary Fukunaga in the mix, and a crime series for them to play with? Just tell us when, and we'll be there. Brewing for the past year and picked up by HBO almost a year ago, it looks like "True Detective" is heading toward cameras. Michelle Monaghan is the latest to join for what sounds like a potentially great series on the cable network, who have already gone ahead and ordered up an eight-episode first season. In the style of "The Killing" (albeit, with the promise that it will actually have a resolution), the story will jump back and forth between 1995 and 2012 to follow the story of detectives Rust Cohle (McConaughey) and Martin Hart (Harrelson) who are on the hunt for a serial killer in Louisiana. Monaghan will play Harrelson's wife who "makes »
