Six novelists on their favourite second artform
27 April 2013 2:37 AM, PDT | The Guardian - TV News | See recent The Guardian - TV News news »
Writers often worry about the dangers of outside influence, but what about the non-literary inspirations they are far more comfortable admitting to? Andrew O'Hagan talks to six novelists about their passion for a second artform
The divine counsels decided, once upon a time, that influence is bad and that too much agency is the enemy of invention. Harold Bloom can't be blamed for that: he certainly pointed to the danse macabre of influence and anxiety, but to him the association was perfectly creative. Elsewhere, writers have always been blamed for being too much like other writers, or too much like themselves, and even now, in the crisis of late postmodernism, we find it hard to believe that writers might live happily in a state of influence and cross-reference. Yet anybody who knows anything about writers knows that they love their sweet influences.
What I've noticed, though, is that the influences »

Julianne Moore, John Cusack & Sarah Gadon Join Robert Pattinson In David Cronenberg's 'Map To The Stars'
18 April 2013 7:40 AM, PDT | The Playlist | See recent The Playlist news »
We have to admit, we were kinda worried. Last month, Rachel Weisz dropped out of David Cronenberg's brewing "Maps To The Stars," the project that would reteam him with his "Cosmopolis" lead Robert Pattinson. The plan was to shoot the movie next month, but with Cronenberg recently taking a role in "I Am Love" helmer Luca Guadagnino's adaptation of Don DeLillo's novel "The Body Artist," lensing this summer, we wondered about the status of 'Maps.' Turns out, we have nothing to worry about. Julianne Moore, John Cusack and Sarah Gadon are all now joining the picture, which seems to be moving full steam ahead. Plot details on the movie, penned by Bruce Wagner, have been scarce, except that it will be a trenchant look at Hollywood and celebrity culture. But Deadline adds that it's also a "ghost story," which certainly raises an intrigued eyebrow. The cast »

Rachel Weisz Drops David Cronenberg's 'Map To The Stars,' Has No Problem Getting Cut From 'To The Wonder'
11 March 2013 2:55 PM, PDT | The Playlist | See recent The Playlist news »
With a big, meaty blockbuster under belt with "Oz The Great And Powerful," 2013 is off a nice start for Rachel Weisz, but it looks like there is a change in plans for the actress. While she signed up last fall to star in David Cronenberg's "Map To The Stars," it looks like she won't be part of the movie going forward. Chatting recently with Collider, when quickly asked at the end of the interview if she'd be doing Cronenberg's film, she said "I'm not," but wasn't able to elaborate further. The developing movie has Robert Pattinson and Viggo Mortensen slated to star in a Bruce Wagner, penned film that takes an acidic look at Hollywood. There was no word on her role, or even why she's bowing out, but we'd reckon scheduling might be an issue. While plans were underway to shoot in May, the director recently took a »

Philip Roth named greatest Us writer
27 February 2013 10:06 PM, PST | RealBollywood.com | See recent RealBollywood news »
London, Feb 28: For those of you who have been trying, day after day, week after week, to pin down who the greatest living American novelist is - the answer is Philip Roth.
A "panel of 30 literati" - the likes of Salman Rushdie, Nell Freudenberger, Gary Shteyngart and James Franco - were asked the question by New York magazine's Vulture site "to assess [Roth's] oeuvre" ahead of his 80th birthday next month.
Yes, Roth is the greatest living American novelist, said 77 percent of the illustrious panel, the Guardian reported.
The other 23 percent - ie the other 6.9 people - thought not, although Don DeLillo was the only. »

12 February 2013 11:29 AM, PST | Filmofilia | See recent Filmofilia news »
We’re already pretty fired up about Luca Guadagnino‘s latest feature Body Art. It’s based on a novel by Don DeLillo, which words were transferred to the big screen in two of 2012s fascinating limousine movies – Cosmopolis and Holy Motors. We already learned that director of Cosmopolis, David Cronenberg will this time step out in front of the camera and join Isabelle Huppert and Denis Lavant, who wowed audiences with his excellent performance in Leos Carax‘s Holy Motors. Now comes word that Sigourney Weaver has joined the cast of Italian filmmaker’s upcoming flick. Her role isn’t clear, but we know the story follows performance artist »

Sigourney Weaver Prepares For Body Art
12 February 2013 12:06 AM, PST | EmpireOnline | See recent EmpireOnline news »
The work of Cosmopolis author Don DeLillo continues to inspire producer Paulo Branco, since he's now steaming ahead with an adaptation of DeLillo's The Body Artist. Pre-production on Body Art was announced back in December, along with a cast including Isabelle Huppert, Denis Lavant, and Cosmopolis director David Cronenberg in one of his rare acting roles. As if they weren't enough, we can now add Sigourney Weaver to the list.The Body Artist - a slim 2001 novella following DeLillo's colossal 1997 Underworld - is often described as a ghost story, but is really not quite that. A meditation on perception, time and grief, the book features long passages in which characters make breakfast or stare at webcam footage of empty roads in Finland. It does, however, involve the enigmatic appearance of a young man in an apartment, who may or may not be real. Said mystery figure arrives in the life of Lauren Hartke, »
Sigourney Weaver Joins Luca Guadagnino’s 'Body Art' With Isabelle Huppert, Denis Lavant & David Cronenberg
11 February 2013 1:37 PM, PST | The Playlist | See recent The Playlist news »
We were already pretty interested in "I Am Love" director Luca Guadagnino's latest feature "Body Art" after it was announced that its production would be marrying key collaborators from two of 2012's fascinating "man-travels-around-a-city-in-a-limousine-during-a-single-day" movies. We're of course referring to "Cosmopolis" and "Holy Motors," as "Body Art" is based on a novel by the former's author Don DeLillo, and will also star the lead actor from the latter, Denis Lavant. Stretching the connections even further, David Cronenberg will also appear on-screen in a rare acting role. Isabelle Huppert will lead the cast, which was basically the cherry on the top, but just when you thought it couldn't get any better the movie goes and casts Sigourney Weaver too. If Guadagnino's sticks closely to DeLillo's novel then it will follow performance artist Lauren Hartke (Huppert), who's grieving after »

Efm 2013: News Wrap-up - The Night Stalkers, Spring, Gallowwalkers, Big Ass Spider!, Body Art
10 February 2013 12:56 PM, PST | DreadCentral.com | See recent Dread Central news »
Time for another European Film Market wrap-up story as several projects are on the move at Berlin's big film dance. Read on for the latest on some current and newly announced projects.
As per Screen Daily...
Canada’s Evokative Films is reorientating its operations towards international sales consultancy. Evokative’s founder Stephanie Trepanier is at the Efm with two new projects: Chelsea Peters’ slasher film The Night Stalkers, produced by Ryan Turek and set to shoot this summer, and supernatural horror-romance Spring from filmmaking duo Aaron Moorhead and Justin Benson (Resolution).
Vmi Worldwide has sold North American rights of the action-sci-fi-horror movie Gallowwalkers, starring Wesley Snipes, to Wrekin Hill Entertainment as well as Japan to Presidio and the Middle East to Phoenicia. As you may recall, this long shelved movie centers on a cursed gunman who incurs the wrath of undead warriors after he kills the gang that murdered his lover. »

Jonathan Romney on Antiviral: It's in the blood... Brandon's creepy celebrity satire is Cronenberg to its core
3 February 2013 | The Independent | See recent The Independent news »
This week, I'm reviewing the new Cronenberg. Brandon Cronenberg, that is – the son of erstwhile "body horror" maestro David. Brandon's debut feature Antiviral is nothing if not Cronenbergian – so strikingly in the maestro's lineage that you'd think young Brandon hadn't sprung from Dad's loins but had rather been grown in a Petri dish from the parental DNA. Cronenberg Sr has now, of course, moved on from the grisly fantasias that made him famous, to more sober undertakings such as the recent Don DeLillo adaptation Cosmopolis. Watching Antiviral, you imagine David presenting his heir with the key to his special-effects room, stacked with prosthetic alien limbs and latex mutant flesh: "Son, all this is yours now – I'm going upmarket." »

All of the week's hot casting news in one fell swoop ...
• Seth MacFarlane has scored quite the cowgirl! The "Ted" funnyman has rounded up the gorgeous (and quite funny herself) Charlize Theron to star in his new film, "A Million Ways to Die in the West," a self-described "Blazing Saddles"-type comedy about a sheepish farmer who chickens out of a gunfight and sees his girlfriend leave him. [Heat Vision]
• Colin Farrell and Oscar nominee Jessica Chastain are going classical with "Miss Julie," director Liv Ullmann's take on August Strindberg's 19th-century stage play about the sexually-charged battle of wills between a wealthy socialite and one of her head servants, with the servant's fiancee popping up every now and then to make things even more interesting. Samantha Morton is also set to star. [The Hollywood Reporter]

Body Language: Alfama Films Set to Produce Luca Guadagnino’s Body Art
29 January 2013 3:20 PM, PST | ioncinema | See recent ioncinema news »
It seems David Cronenberg hasn’t had enough of Don DeLillo, with Variety reporting that the director is set to go in front of the camera in Luca Guadgnino’s adaptation of DeLillo’s 2001 novella, The Body Artist. Apparently retitled as Body Art, the exciting pairing of Isabelle Huppert and Sigourney Weaver, first announced by the Hollywood Reporter last week, really peaked our interest. Oh, and for some extra special zaniness, Denis Lavant is along for the ride as well. Paolo Branco of Alfama Films, (the company also behind Cosmopolis), will also be the production-distribution company behind this project. And Raf Simons, the artistic director of Dior will be designing costumes for Weaver and Huppert. Guadagnino has a few projects it seems he’s currently working, including the widely reported James Ellroy adaptation The Big Nowhere, but it seems Body Art is set to film this summer, so this may be next in his queue. »

David Cronenberg to Co-Star in Luca Guadagnino’s Adaptation of Don DeLillo’s Body Art
29 January 2013 1:59 PM, PST | Collider.com | See recent Collider.com news »
Director David Cronenberg occasionally steps out in front of the camera, and he has 26 acting credits including roles in Jason X and The Stupids. According to Yahoo! Movies, he'll be working with slightly more elevated material by joining the adaptation of Don DeLillo's Body Art. Directed by Luca Guadagnino (I Am Love), Isabelle Huppert stars as "an actress/performer of sorts grieving over a lost lover who encounters a mysterious stranger living in her house (all of which may or may not be literally happening)." The film also stars Denis Lavant, who wowed audiences with his excellent performance(s) in Holy Motors. This is the second pairing of Cronenberg and DeLillo. Cronenberg's most recent film was an adaptation of DeLillo's 2003 novel, Cosmopolis. It looks like Cronenberg's next directing project will be Maps to the Stars, especially since Eastern Promises 2 and a remake of The Fly are now kaput. »

David Cronenberg and "Cosmopolis" novel-writer Don DeLillo are pairing up with producer Paolo Branco for another film, "Body Art." The film is based on DeLillo's novel "The Body Artist" (synopsis below). "I Am Love"'s Luca Guadagnino adapted the script and will direct. Cronenberg will star with Isabelle Huppert and "Holy Motors" sensation Denis Lavant. Branco's French Alfama Films (who produced Cronenberg's "Cosmopolis") is producing and holds French rights; they'll begin shopping the foreign rights at the European Film Market.

Finishing out their lease of a rented house on the coast, living in a self-imposed exile, Lauren discovers a mysterious man in the bedroom upstairs who is able to repeat -- »
