Emmy Hopeful: Corey Stoll - 'House of Cards'
16 hours ago | Entertainment Tonight | See recent Entertainment Tonight news »
The excitement of "discovering" Corey Stoll through his particularly powerful performance as Rep. Peter Russo in Netflix's House of Cards quickly evaporated after the requisite IMDb trip accompanying all new actorly obsessions since I'd previously searched him out after equally impressive turns in Woody Allen's Midnight in Paris and NBC's short-lived Law & Order: La.
Aside from underscoring his chameleon-like abilities, this repeated discovery process reinforces the fact Stoll has been delivering attention-grabbing performances for years, simply waiting for the day when one role would break him out. Well, that day arrived this past February when Netflix unleashed 13 episodes of David Fincher & Beau Willimon's masterful House of Cards and Stoll could no longer be ignored; his turn as the self-sabotaging civil servant all-but-eclipsed everyone else in the star-studded production.
The Emmy frontrunner for Best Supporting Actor in a Drama recently rang up ETonline to talk about embarking on such a unique filming experience, why this massive »

There wouldn't be panelists if there weren't panels. Aff will continue its "Conversation With..." series, which joins filmmakers and moviegoers for in-depth, one-on-one discussions about their experiences in the industry.

Kevin Spacey Deals on ‘House of Cards’
14 June 2013 12:00 PM, PDT | Variety - TV News | See recent Variety - TV News news »
Kevin Spacey lives with “House of Cards” through a stack of his own cards, which are peppered with lines and directions. “My cards are my routine,” Spacey explains after another 12 hours on the set of the Netflix series, which shoots in Baltimore.
At a certain point in production, Spacey ditches his script in favor of the more mobile notecards, allowing him to wander restaurants, elevators, stores, anywhere he wants, and absorb Francis Underwood.
“I like to live with the material two weeks ahead. … My cards, they’re my compact little bible.”
As production shifts back into overdrive on the Netflix streaming series, Spacey is, in a way, only now beginning to understand his character — the conniving, power-hungry House majority whip from South Carolina hellbent on rising to America’s highest office.
Living with the likes of Underwood, who — carved with the sharp pen of scribe and showrunner Beau Willimon — is “relentless, »

The Blu-ray/DVD One Where ‘Hansel & Gretel: Witch Hunters’ Battles ‘Oz the Great and Powerful’ for the Title of Most Mediocre
11 June 2013 7:00 AM, PDT | FilmSchoolRejects.com | See recent FilmSchoolRejects news »
Welcome back to This Week In Discs! As always, if you see something you like, click on the image to buy it. House of Cards: The Complete First Season Congressman Francis Underwood (Kevin Spacey) is as ambitious as they come, but his drive to succeed includes more than simply doing the best job for the American people that he can. Instead he uses every opportunity to manipulate those around him towards outcomes favorable to his career. His wife (Robin Wright) shares a similar trait in her dealings. Together and separately the pair use their influence to shape their world, and while many other people are swept into their narrative only one will meet a tragic fate. Netflix officially entered the TV production game with this 13 episode redo of the classic UK series, and the result is a solidly entertaining, wonderfully acted look at our political animals at work. It has far less bite than its UK »

Produced By Conference: ‘Sons Of Anarchy’s’ Kurt Sutter, Other Showrunners Look To “Scary” Digital Future
8 June 2013 2:44 PM, PDT | Deadline TV | See recent Deadline TV news »
“New is always scary to the old and it is always about money and profit margins,” said Kurt Sutter today about the digital distribution and content models of Netflix, Amazon and Hulu. “And the talk right now is how do we make money because we are all selling either soap or subscriptions,” the often blunt Sons of Anarchy producer added. “The upside for everyone at this table is we may not know what it looks like or what the profit margins are but more people want our content,” he also said. Sutter was appearing on this year’s Produced By Conference’s Hit The Ground Showrunning panel along with House of Cards‘ Beau Willimon, Parenthood‘s Jason Katims and The Big C creator Darlene Hunt. “I’m dying to do something for Netflix. They say we’ll throw money at you and leave you alone,” joked Hunt. The producer and »

31 May 2013 4:55 PM, PDT | Variety - Film News | See recent Variety - Film News news »
Like all of Hollywood, the Producers Guild of America is turning up the volume on TV and new media.
In years past, the PGA’s Produced By conference has focused heavily on the world of movies.
The shift will be readily apparent at the producers group’s fifth conference, set for June 8-9 at Fox Studios. Leading voices in the TV world such as Mark Burnett, Gale Anne Hurd, Darlene Hunt, Jason Katims, Kurt Sutter, Marci Wiseman, Sharon Tal Yguado and Beau Willimon are featured speakers, sharing the spotlight with film heavyweights such as J.J.

Immersed in Movies: Craft-Talking David Fincher's Emmy-Contender 'House of Cards'
24 May 2013 11:22 AM, PDT | Indiewire Television | See recent Indiewire Television news »
From the very first moment that Kevin Spacey broke the fourth wall as the devilishly charming House Majority Whip Frank Underwood in "House of Cards," Netflix's first original TV series, we knew that we were in for "Richard III" in D.C. It's so David Fincher, who signed on as exec producer and director of the first two episodes, while writer-showrunner Beau Willimon ("The Ides of March") plotted the political machinations with transcendent glee. (Our in-depth interview with Willimon is here.) No wonder the series has induced binge viewing and Emmy buzz. I recently spoke with the three Bs of below-the-line craft on the acclaimed, $100 million political thriller, which is in pre-production on its second season: cinematographer Eigil Bryld ("You Don't Know Jack"), costume designer Tom Broecker ("Saturday Night Live"), and composer Jeff Beal ("Blackfish"), whose two-disc soundtrack is available on Varese Sarabande. They all attest to the fact that »

Kevin Spacey and Beau Willimon Talk House Of Cards, the Golden Age of Television, Season 2, and More
6 May 2013 11:46 AM, PDT | Collider.com | See recent Collider.com news »
The original Netflix drama series House of Cards is an uncompromising exploration of power and ambition. Francis Underwood (Kevin Spacey), the House Majority Whip, is a politician’s politician – masterful, beguiling, charismatic and ruthless – and he and his equally ambitious wife, Claire (Robin Wright), will stop at nothing to ensure their ascendancy. The Academy of Television recently hosted an evening to celebrate the show, and Collider was there to cover and attend the event. During the discussion about the 13-episode series, actor/executive producer Kevin Spacey and showrunner/executive producer/writer Beau Willimon talked about their extreme look at Washington, D.C., the collaboration and freedom they get with Netflix, that they shoot two episodes at a time, both done by the same director, why they shoot in Baltimore, Maryland instead of D.C., why this is such a Golden Age for television, and how they’ve developed the storylines with two seasons in mind. »

'Doing bad for the greater good': Kevin Spacey, Beau Willimon and Co. Look Back at 'House of Cards' Season One
29 April 2013 6:13 AM, PDT | Indiewire Television | See recent Indiewire Television news »
On February 1st, Netflix changed the television industry. After struggling for the better part of a year to regain the trust of subscribers after an unexpected price increase and alteration to its delivery model, the streaming and distribution service took a risk on a new original series with potentially inflammatory political content. The show is "House of Cards," an American adaptation of a novel by Michael Dobbs which was previously been the source of a hit miniseries across the Atlantic for the BBC. Showrunner Beau Willimon brought this tale of greed, corruption and disloyalty to small screens across the United States with acclaimed filmmaker David Fincher by his side as co-producer and creative director, with Netflix signing on for two seasons without a pilot. The partnership has reportedly resulted in two million new subscribers for Netflix, more original series in production and, most importantly, the validity of a new distribution model. »
