Cannes Film Review: ‘The Congress’
16 May 2013 6:59 AM, PDT | Variety - Film News | See recent Variety - Film News news »
Robin Wright plays “herself” in “The Congress,” a trippy cautionary tale about where society is headed, assuming movie stars license their essence to studios and audiences abandon cinema in favor of chemical cocktails that allow them to experience life as their celebrity of choice. Conceptually speaking, such a satire could only work as animation, but even then, it doesn’t quite come together — though fans of last year’s “Holy Motors” may appreciate a surreal double bill with this live-toon hybrid, ideal for midnight crowds and psychedelic enthusiasts. Meanwhile, admirers of director Ari Folman’s “Waltz With Bashir” should seriously adjust their expectations.
Ironically, Folman limits his audience by abandoning the Israeli-specific context of his earlier work in favor of a more universal cultural critique, returning (somewhat) to the world of live-action here by opening with what could be an hourlong episode of “The Twilight Zone.” The remainder of the »

15 May 2013 10:49 PM, PDT | LatinoReview | See recent LatinoReview news »
Variety reports that Jocko Sims has joined the cast of Dawn of the Planet of the Apes. He is expected to play a military operative named Werner.
Sims released this tweet shortly after the news broke:
“I’ve had to keep this secret for nearly two months. It’s out! No…I don’t play an ape.”
Synopsis:
A growing nation of genetically evolved apes led by Caesar is threatened by a band of human survivors of the devastating virus unleashed a decade earlier. They reach a fragile peace, but it proves short-lived, as both sides are brought to the brink of a war that will determine who will emerge as Earth’s dominant species.
Andy Serkis, celebrated for his performance in the last film, reprises his role as Caesar. Dawn of the Planet of the Apes also stars Jason Clarke (Zero Dark Thirty, Public Enemies, The Great Gatsby), Gary Oldman (The Dark Knight Rises, »

'Star Trek' composer Michael Giacchino to score 'Apes' sequel
15 May 2013 3:20 AM, PDT | Digital Spy | See recent Digital Spy - Movie News news »
Michael Giacchino will compose the score for Dawn of the Planet of the Apes.
The Star Trek Into Darkness composer confirmed his involvement in Matt Reeves's sequel via Twitter.
In addition to his collaborations with Jj Abrams, Giacchino has composed the score for several Pixar films including Up and Ratatouille.
Rise of the Planet of the Apes director Rupert Wyatt was originally set to return for the sequel but stepped down, reportedly over concerns about the film's tight production schedule, and was replaced by Reeves.
Andy Serkis will return as Caesar, while Jason Clarke, Gary Oldman, Keri Russell, Kodi Smit-McPhee and Judy Greer are among the sequel's new cast.
James Franco is unlikely to reprise his role in the sequel.
Dawn of the Planet of the Apes will be released on May 23, 2014.

First Trailer For The Congress
14 May 2013 11:36 AM, PDT | EmpireOnline | See recent EmpireOnline news »
No, it’s not a film about the Us House Of Representatives / Senate (they already made that, it’s called Idiocracy – heyooo!). It’s actually the new movie from Waltz With Bashir’s Ari Folman, starring Robin Wright, Danny Huston and more. Take a look… Given the director, you might not be surprised by the amount of animation. Yet the tale, which follows an actress named Robin Wright agreeing to get her image scanned by a massive, powerful computer, is about more than just aping the Heavy Metal style of anime.No, from the looks of this, it uses Stanislaw Lem's short story The Futurological Congress as a jumping-off point for a meditation on body image, how we see ourselves, what makes someone unique and the changing face of women in film. It brings to mind one part of Holy Motors and also the sort of territory that S »
Michael Giacchino to Score Dawn of the Planet of the Apes

Watch Robin Wright In Amazing First Trailer For The Congress
14 May 2013 2:33 AM, PDT | We Got This Covered | See recent We Got This Covered news »
This week there’s a wealth of new trailers landing for projects which have been waiting to debut at Cannes. Yesterday, we had the first clip from James Franco’s Faulkner adaptation, As I Lay Dying. Franco’s teaser is nothing compared to this first look at the Stanislaw Lem adap, The Congress.
Robin Wright, who easily stands among cinema’s handful of gifted actresses, stars in this latest flick from Waltz With Bashir director Ari Folman. The source novel on which it is based, The Futurological Congress serves as a foundation for the film. Echoes of A Scanner Darkly stir amidst fresh ideas in this first trailer. It assembles a host of unique elements; image cloning, intertextuality and dystopia to great success. There’s not been a film this exciting released in a good long while. An idea such as this barely resembles Hollywood’s typical sci-fi output. It’s that impressive. »

‘The Congress’, director Ari Folman’s follow-up to ‘Waltz With Bashir’, releases its first trailer
13 May 2013 8:43 PM, PDT | SoundOnSight | See recent SoundOnSight news »
One of the surprises of the 2008 film year for many was the animated feature Waltz with Bashir. Written and directed by Ari Folman, the documentary used animation and soldier recollections to recreate the 1982 Lebanon invasion, and opened many film fans’ eyes to the filmmaker’s talents. Folman, however, has since stepped away from the camera, spending his time writing for a number of tv shows, with the exception of one documentary. Much to the delight of his newfound fans, however, Folman has once again picked up the directorial reins, this time on an adaptation of a Stanislaw Lem novel. Titled The Congress, Folman once again pens the screenplay, working with Robin Wright, Harvey Keitel, Paul Giamatti, Danny Huston, Kodi Smit-McPhee, and Frances Fisher. The first trailer for the film has now been released, and can be seen below.

'Dawn Of The Planet Of The Apes' Photo: Apes On Horses!
13 May 2013 12:00 PM, PDT | MTV Movies Blog | See recent MTV Movies Blog news »
Caesar and his ape followers have evolved quite a bit since the events of "Rise of the Planet of the Apes." As seen in a Twitter photo posted by director Matt Reeves, a "new dawn" is coming in "Dawn of the Planet of the Apes" where apes can ride horses.
The image Reeves posted shows Andy Serkis' Caesar facing having a conversation with Jason Clarke's character. Serkis and another man can be seen wearing motion capture suits, but interestingly their characters are seen on horses. That's a nice nod to the original "Planet of the Apes" movies, where horses were a main means of travel for the apes.
Hopefully this is a sign that the rebooted "Planet of the Apes" films will continue to bring this series closer and closer to the original. The first movie definitely set up the shape of things to come, and it will »

The first international trailer for The Congress, starring Robin Wright, Harvey Keitel, Danny Huston, Paul Giamatti, and Kodi Smit-McPhee has arrived and it's an odd, trippy, and wicked looking affair. Written and directed by Ari Folman, who did the brilliant documentary Waltz With Bashir, which was equally trippy in that it used animation to recount a tale of war. Now, Folman is adapting Solaris author Stanislaw Lem's novel The Futurological Congress to the big screen with a »
