Top Ten 1960s
5 hours ago | FilmExperience | See recent FilmExperience news »
I still have a lot more to see from the 1960s but this top ten, more than most apart from the 1980s is a combination of films I fell for as a child on television in the 70s and 80s and films I love now as an adult. I'm bookending with two Natalie Wood features -- the first actress I ever loved -- though I recognize that they are more personal favorites than perfect films. That caveat aside I do find Bob & Carol & Ted & Alice to be grossly undervalued since it's essentiall a comedy about its time and therefore "light" and "dated" . Still, I absolutely insist, it's a wonderful wonderful light and dated thing. At the top of the list West Side Story has been my favorite film of all time for as long as I remember being conscious of movies so it'll just have to keep on being so »

'White House Down' extended trailer: 'Can you not hit me in the head with a rocket?' -- Video
10 June 2013 12:58 PM, PDT | EW - Inside Movies | See recent EW.com - Inside Movies news »
Remember when we all thought White House Down was just about monuments blowing up? As the new, four-minute trailer makes clear, Roland Emmerich’s new film is also about Channing Tatum, as wannabe Secret Service agent John Cale, saving his daughter; and it is also about Channing Tatum working with the president (Jamie Foxx, in glasses and sneakers) to save America. It is also funny, kind of. I think Maggie Gyllenhaal plays C.J. Cregg.
Watch the trailer below:
White House Down opens June 28.

Emmerich is best known for his blockbusters Independence Day, 2012 and The Day After Tomorrow.
His most recent project - the Channing Tatum and Jamie Foxx-starring action movie White House Down - is due for imminent release.

FM Visits The Great American Pitchfest
6 June 2013 11:20 AM, PDT | FamousMonsters of Filmland | See recent Famous Monsters of Filmland news »
Over this past weekend, hundreds of hungry (literally and figuratively) screenwriters arrived in Burbank, CA to pitch their life’s dream to studio execs. The event invites people far and wide to try to catch lightning in a bottle, that ephemeral feeling that everyone searches for, and rarely finds, in La. The Great American Pitchfest not only can open doors, but is massively educational, offering an opportunity to meet like minded writers and actors and directors who all want to do the same thing, and learn from the best in the process.
There were plenty of free classes and panels, of which we attended several. All of which were illuminating, inspiring, informative, and filled with influential writers and directors. There was also free cake. So yeah, go next year.
The big draw for FM was the fabled, star powered genre writing panel, which featured Tom Holland (Fright Night, Child’S Play, »

‘Kingdom of Heaven: The Director’s Cut’ epic filmmaking at its finest

Kingdom of Heaven: The Director’s Cut
Directed by Ridley Scott
Written by William Monaghan
UK/Us 2005
Various directors take very differing stances when it comes to the ongoing threat of executive meddling. This, of course, is when the studio moneymen stop what you’re doing and tell you that what you’ve made will simply not cut it at the box office, that key demographics that their marketing department has been stringently working on (usually in the form of charts) will dislike your movie. If you’re Terry Gilliam, you’ll go to war with said studio and prove that you have the significant integrity (read massive cojones) to work yourself into the ground to make sure nobody interferes with your baby. If you’re David Fincher, you’ll probably go home as loudly and publicly as you can manage.
But if you’re Ridley Scott, one of »

Blu-ray Release: The Only Game in Town
28 May 2013 1:38 PM, PDT | Disc Dish | See recent Disc Dish news »
Blu-ray Release Date: June 11, 2013
Price: Blu-ray $29.95
Studio: Twilight Time
Elizabeth Taylor and Warren Beatty become uneasy lovers in The Only Game in Town.
Elizabeth Taylor (Cleopatra) and Warren Beatty (Ishtar) star in filmmaker George Stevens’ final movie, the 1970 drama-romance film The Only Game in Town.
Taylor stars as an aging and exhausted showgirl fed up with waiting for her married lover (Charles Braswell) to divorce his wife, while Beatty portrays a piano-playing gambling addict who keeps compulsively losing the stake he needs to high-tail it to New York. Together, they parlay an instant attraction into a mutual effort to get their lives together—no strings attached.
Written by Frank D. Gilroy, who adapted his own Las Vegas-set stage play, The Only Game in Town was gorgeously shot by French New Wave stalwart Henri Decaë (known for his work with Jean-Pierre Melville and Claude Chabrol) and scored by the great Maurice Jarre »

Mora preps bio on Aussie Wwi hero
26 May 2013 9:58 PM, PDT | IF.com.au | See recent IF.com.au news »
Philippe Mora is planning a film that honours Sir John Monash, the Australian General who led the Allied forces which smashed through the German lines in the Battle of Amiens on August 8 1918.
.My opinion is that the Australian contribution to winning WW1 is under-appreciated internationally and this will be reflected in this new film,. said Mora, the French-born, Los Angeles-based filmmaker who grew up in Australia.
.My mother Mirka and my father Georges knew Monash's famous friend Lizzie Bentwich, who befriended them in 1951 as young immigrants from Paris. My dad drove her around in his van with an armchair in it for her..
Mora hasn.t cast the lead role yet but said he.ll look for an actor who would become as synonymous with the General as was Peter O'Toole as Lawrence of Arabia. The victory prompted German General Ludendorff to concede, .August 8th was the black day of »

Baz Luhrmann on The Great Gatsby: 'Fitzgerald was a clown, just like I am'
17 May 2013 2:40 AM, PDT | The Guardian - Film News | See recent The Guardian - Film News news »
The director of the new film of The Great Gatsby is under no illusions that his style is everyone's cup of tea – and that, he says, is why he has such a kinship with the novel's author
It takes a lot of heavy lifting to make a lavish party swing. On the day before The Great Gatsby opens this year's Cannes film festival, the nearby Carlton Hotel has been recast as a chaotic factory of harried PRs and industry factotums. An immaculate woman, all but blinded by the potted plant she is carrying, blunders haplessly through a platter of macaroons that has been left on the floor. The cakes go everywhere; the carpet is carnage. "Merde," exclaims the woman, but she barely breaks her stride.
If high-rolling Jay Gatsby had ever come to Cannes, he would surely have boarded at a joint like this, with its grand beehive domes and tranquil private beach. »

Baz Luhrmann: The Hollywood Interview
12 May 2013 7:03 AM, PDT | The Hollywood Interview | See recent The Hollywood Interview news »
This article originally appeared in the February 2004 issue of Venice Magazine. It was the second time I've interviewed Baz, the first one being for the theatrical release of Moulin Rouge! back in 2001 (Still looking for that interview! It's on the ancient technology of floppy disc somewhere in my files.) This interview was for the Los Angeles run of "La Boheme" at the Los Angeles Opera.
It's hard to believe that it's been seven years since Luhrmann has had a theatrical film released as a director. But his Australia, starring Hugh Jackman and Nicole Kidman, will be released later this year. Looking forward to it.
Closing the Red Curtain with “La Boheme”
Before moving on from the cinematic delights of his Red Curtain Trilogy, Baz Luhrmann revisits the Puccini masterwork which kicked off his career.

Hannibal just the appetiser for feast of Hollywood films being adapted for TV

New versions of Barbarella, Lawrence of Arabia, Psycho, The Avengers and Zombieland are also coming to the small screen
His fondness for fava beans and a nice chianti is well documented, but when Hannibal Lecter returned in his latest incarnation it was in less charted territory.
After the series of books by Thomas Harris and a string of hit films, the world's most popular serial killer has moved to television for the first time.
Bryan Fuller's acclaimed adaptation, which launched in the UK on Sky Living last week, is part of a boom in big-screen properties being adapted for TV. After Psycho (adapted in the Us as Bates Motel) and the small-screen take on the Woody Harrelson movie Zombieland, (part of a move by Amazon into TV production), Joss Whedon is making a TV version of his Avengers film and there will be two competing mini-series of Lawrence of Arabia, »

Three Summer '13 Films for Pattinson?
9 May 2013 5:49 PM, PDT | Alt Film Guide | See recent Alt Film Guide news »
Robert Pattinson Mission: Blacklist movie: Filming in August? Mission: Blacklist is not the upcoming fifth installment in the Mission: Impossible franchise starring Tom Cruise. For the time being, that’s concisely called Mission: Impossible 5. So, what’s Mission: Blacklist? Well, as every ardent Robert Pattinson fan will tell you, that’s a Pattinson movie project initially announced in early May 2012. Pattinson is attached to this Embankment Films-financed (or to-be-financed) production based on Eric Maddox and Davin Seay’s book Mission: Black List #1 - The Inside Story of the Search for Saddam Hussein - As Told by the Soldier Who Masterminded His Capture. The title of Maddox and Seay’s book says it all. But just in case, here’s the brief Mission: Blacklist synopsis found on the Embankment Films website: Unlike other Interrogators fresh out of training, Eric Maddox (Robert Pattinson) has a brilliant and beautiful mind.

Shaolin Soccer And 5 Other Completely Bonkers Martial Art Movies
4 May 2013 7:00 AM, PDT | Obsessed with Film | See recent Obsessed with Film news »
If you haven’t seen it, you need to watch Shaolin Soccer right now.
This 2001 Chinese bonkers Martial Art movie was based on a popular Japanese Manga series called Captain Tsubasa. Creator Steven Chow loved the manga so much, he decided to make a film combining Kung Fu and Soccer Kinetic movement. Using over-the-top computer graphics he made a film that was so hysterically funny that it caught the world by storm.
Using a cast of mostly “non-actors” and writing a script that combined the two sports, he developed a film that was comedy platinum. Characters with names like Iron Head, Empty Fist, Hooking Leg, Iron Shirt and Hung populate this imaginary world of Kung Fu Soccer players.
An imaginary world that was so popular that Shaolin Soccer became Hong Kong’s number one grossing film at the box office until it was topped by Chow’s next Martial Arts mix-up, »

Roland Emmerich Developing 'Lawrence of Arabia' TV Miniseries
2 May 2013 11:09 AM, PDT | Indiewire Television | See recent Indiewire Television news »
When Roland Emmerich makes a movie, more often than not you can bet that he’s going to go big. You could say that he’s a filmmaker who prefers an epic scale, and an argument could be made that he’s actually modern cinema’s equivalent to a David Lean. Okay, okay, we jest… but trust Emmerich of all people to look at a classic Lean epic and decide that of all things, he’s going to make it bigger. Lean’s 216-minute masterpiece, “Lawrence of Arabia,” told the story of the controversial British military figure T. E. Lawrence, and won seven Oscars back in 1962. The film was re-released in some territories last year to mark its 50thAnniversary, and maybe that’s what has prompted the interest in Lawrence again. Emmerich is reportedly working on a miniseries based on the life of Lawrence alongside biographer Michael Korda and screenwriter »

Roland Emmerich To Tackle T.E. Lawrence Too
2 May 2013 8:13 AM, PDT | We Got This Covered | See recent We Got This Covered news »
Sure, he might be a busy man, but who could ever accuse Roland Emmerich of doing anything by halves? Me. I could. He’s a lazy and ridiculous director. That aside, he has a lot on his plate at the moment. – not content with directing a movie based on the Stonewall riots, the pivotal moment in the gay rights movement in America, he is also in talks with Freemantle International to produce a miniseries based on the life of Lawrence of Arabia. The show, possibly to be aired on the History channel, will presumably cover the bits that the three hour cinematic masterpiece failed to cover, like that time the esteemed adventurer exploded the White House.
Those cynical folks over at Screen Crush ruined everyone’s fun by putting the series in direct correlation with the success that the History channel has had with their Hatfields and McCoys miniseries, quoting »

"Lawrence Of Arabia" TV Mini-Series
2 May 2013 5:09 AM, PDT | SneakPeek | See recent SneakPeek news »
Director Roland Emmerich has started developing a "Lawrence of Arabia" dramatic TV miniseries, focusing on historical figure 'T.E. Lawrence' for FremantleMedia International.
"T.E. Lawrence was undoubtedly one of the greatest military and political strategists of our time and a stunningly intrepid Englishman", said FremantleMedia CEO David Ellender.
"The heritage of this story is fascinating – beyond the historical element, it’s a personal tale of emotional turmoil, identity crisis, conflicting loyalties and individual brilliance. The Middle East and Arab Spring as we know them today are linked to Lawrence’s actions, which make this epic incredibly topical. I am delighted that we are working with partners of such high-caliber to bring this project to the screen."
"Hero: The Life and Legend of Lawrence of Arabia" author Michael Korda will serve as historical consultant on the series, with a pilot script co-written by Rod Lurie.
