Finally: Dwayne Johnson, aka The Rock, learns how to make a proper action movie again. Ron checks out Faster...
It's the moment fans of Dwayne Johnson have been waiting for since he burst onto the movie scene in The Mummy Returns. He followed that brief cameo up with a full-length Scorpion King movie, Doom, and a few other action flicks, but like a lot of movie stars, he wanted to branch out.
Trading on his good will and renown with kids, he eased into a lucrative career as a Disney movie star. However, he didn't abandon his action movie roots, and now The Rock is back and starring in Faster, which sells itself as a classic 70s-style revenge flick that wouldn't look out of place in the canon of Clint Eastwood or Charles Bronson.
Dwayne Johnson plays Driver. None of the characters in Faster have names, they're simply archetypes. Johnson's »
Jacqueline Bisset Hoping Money Can Be Found to Complete Hopper’s Final Film
21 November 2010 10:55 AM, PST | Hollywoodnews.com | See recent Hollywoodnews.com news »
By Marilyn Beck and Stacy Jenel Smith
hollywoodnews.com: Jacqueline Bisset is awaiting word on the fate of “The Last Film Festival” — Linda Yellen’s big-screen comedy in which she stars with Chris Kattan and the late Dennis Hopper, which, she reveals, “We still haven’t quite finished. We still need more money to finish it. It’s a pity. They’re just struggling with the end of it, hoping someone comes forward. It’s Dennis Hopper’s last film, and it’s fun — really pretty funny.”
Bisset, who has the Hallmark Channel Original Movie, “An Old-Fashioned Christmas” coming up Dec. 11, tells us that the cancer that took Hopper’s life in May was not apparent when they worked together. She adds, “I was actually an admirer of Dennis for years as a painter and photographer” — in addition to his work as an actor and filmmaker.
“He was such a fascinating character, »

Part I: Super Chiefs — Calley, Evans, Zanuck and the Passing of the Studio Torches
From the 1960s into the 1980s, one by one, the legendary studios of old – MGM, United Artists, Warner Bros., Paramount, Columbia, 20th Century Fox — were gobbled up by conglomerates, some of which had had almost no previous interests in the entertainment business, such as Paramount’s acquirer, Gulf + Western (a motley collection of properties ranging from Caribbean sugar companies to auto parts), and Kinney National Service (a hodgepodge of funeral homes and parking lots which bought up Warner Bros.). This corporatization of the major studios – the once mighty fiefdoms of the old moguls subjugated by invaders with little or no practical or emotional affinity for movies – is often viewed disparagingly as a sea change signaling the end of the grand Old Hollywood; the Hollywood of Gable and Garland, of Casablanca (1942) and Gone with the Wind (1939).

Promo Poster and Synopsis for Steve McQueen’s Shame Starring Michael Fassbender
10 November 2010 9:02 AM, PST | Collider.com | See recent Collider.com news »
Next up from the American Film Market (Afm) is Steve McQueen’s Shame. The film is the follow-up to McQueen’s BAFTA-nominated Hunger, and reunites the director with actor Michael Fassbender (Inglourious Basterds). And just to be clear, this is Not the Steve McQueen (Bullitt, The Great Escape) who died in 1980.
Hit the jump to sneak a peek at the promo poster and synopsis.
Here’s the bare-bones synopsis for Shame:
Brandon (Michael Fassbender, Inglourious Basterds, Hunger, A Dangerous Method) is a 30-something man living in New York who is unable to manage his sex life. After his wayward younger sister moves into his apartment, Brandon’s world spirals out of control.
From director Steve McQueen (Hunger), Shame is a compelling and timely examination of the nature of need, how we live our lives and the experiences that shape us.
Though I have not seen Hunger, in which Fassbender plays Bobby Sands, »

Philip French's Classic DVD
6 November 2010 5:05 PM, PDT | The Guardian - Film News | See recent The Guardian - Film News news »
(1973, 12, Optimum)
The New York film-maker Philip D'Antoni spent most of his career in television, but his reputation depends on the three seminal big-screen movies he produced 40 years ago: gritty police procedural thrillers about maverick cops, shot entirely on location and featuring extended, spectacular car chases staged in city streets.
They're Peter Yates's Bullitt (1968), William Friedkin's The French Connection (1971) and The Seven-Ups, which D'Antoni both produced and directed. Roy Scheider, a key actor of the 1970s, is promoted from the sidekick role in The French Connection to lead a special group of New York cops using unconventional methods to nail major crooks, sending them to jail for seven years and up, hence the jokey title.
His current investigations draw him via a devious informer into a battle between the mafia and a gang of freelance villains making a fortune snatching mob leaders for ransom. The chase in this film starts in the Bronx, »

The festival will pay tribute to McQueen on Thursday when members of his family and the cast of cult film Bullitt attend a special screening of the movie with fans - and when Chad McQueen will accept the Jules Verne Legendaire Award on behalf of his dad.

Action heroes: Retirement is for wimps

Old action heroes are back. Red writer Warren Ellis argues that audiences don't shed their love of actors and characters, but want to continue the journey for as long as possible
At the beginning of my graphic novel Red, retired CIA killer Paul Moses – the corporate spooks of the Bourne films would have called him an "asset" – is living as quietly as possible, suffering night terrors alone and waiting out his time as best he can. The only relationship he has is with the Agency clerk who deals with his pension. She doesn't know what his job was, and he never wants her to find out. At the beginning of the film adaptation of Red, retired CIA killer Frank Moses is trying to adapt to a boring life, and is engaged in a hapless long-distance almost-flirtation with the Agency clerk who deals with his pension.

Curio: Lisa Brawn's Woodcuts
19 October 2010 8:40 AM, PDT | FilmExperience | See recent FilmExperience news »
Alexa from Pop Elegantiarum here with your weekly arts and crafts.
Recently I came upon these woodcut paintings by Lisa Brawn. Lisa carves detailed portraits into wood, generally beams of salvaged Douglas fir. Usually artists carve into wood in order to make prints from the resulting block; instead, Lisa paints the carved block itself to create one-of-a-kind portraits. She looks to pop culture for inspiration, and finds "suitably rustic and rugged subjects" in tough guys like Steve McQueen, but notes that "Sophia Loren holds her own anywhere". I think her chosen medium is perfect, since it calls to mind Christian wooden icons; it's like she's made pop culture devotionals (Saint Bullitt and Saint Sophia, natch).
Here's a selection.

Bullitt: No 13

Peter Yates, 1968
Sure, there's a fantastic car chase in it – one of the first, still one of the best – but Peter Yates's first American movie is so much more than a duel on wheels. First off, it belongs in the esteemed company of Greed, Vertigo, The Lineup, Dirty Harry and Zodiac as one of the finest movies set and shot in San Francisco, that most beguilingly cinematic of American cities. Secondly, it offers the distilled essence of Steve McQueen as an actor and icon at the pinnacle of his career. Exercising his usual restraint, the actor (working as his own producer) pruned every redundant word from his own role, making Bullitt perhaps the most taciturn hero of the 60s – McQueen knew that the less he said, the more intently the audience focused on him.
He is the near-silent centre of a very busy, compelling and violent crime drama. Blessed »

‘Sherlock Holmes’ Writer Scripting ‘Yucatan’ For Robert Downey, Jr.
6 October 2010 7:00 PM, PDT | Slash Film | See recent Slash Film news »
One of the great never-made films in action movie history is Yucatan, an epic treasure hunt/heist film concocted by actor Steve McQueen. The star of Bullitt and The Great Escape never got to make the film, but 1700 pages of notes on the film were found among Mr. McQueen's possessions years after his death. The film has been a possible project at Warner Bros. ever since that discovery, and now Sherlock Holmes screenwriter Anthony Peckham has been hired to mold it into a star vehicle for Robert Downey, Jr. What is Yucatan? Originally conceived by Mr. McQueen in the late '60s to be an action movie without dialogue (oh, the halcyon days of the New Hollywood) the story follows... ...an archaeologist from the Museum of London who enlists a renegade Navy diver, who works for the oil companies and races motorcycles on the shores of the Mojave, in a »

Steve McQueen on TCM: Bullitt, The Cincinnati Kid, The Blob
3 August 2010 12:29 AM, PDT | Alt Film Guide | See recent Alt Film Guide news »
Steve McQueen died at a relatively young age — he was 50 when he succumbed to cancer in 1980 — but strangely, especially considering his enormous popularity and "youthful rebel" persona, McQueen hasn’t become the icon one would have expected of him. Anyhow, those unfamiliar with McQueen’s work will be able to catch the actor at both his best and not-so-best in eleven movies to be shown on Turner Classic Movies on Tuesday, August 3: TCM’s "Summer Under the Stars" day dedicated to Steve McQueen. Among McQueen’s best is the San Francisco cop in Peter Yates‘ Bullitt (1968, photo), which features a thrilling car chase in the hilly streets of the Bay Area metropolis. Also, McQueen’s poker player in Norman Jewison‘s The Cincinnati Kid (1965) remains one of his best-known performances. The film itself boasts a first-rate cast that includes Ann-Margret, Tuesday Weld, and veterans Edward G. Robinson and Joan Blondell. »

Breaking Away | DVD review
10 July 2010 4:05 PM, PDT | The Guardian - Film News | See recent The Guardian - Film News news »
(1979, 12, Second Sight)
Equally at home on either side of the Atlantic, British movie-maker Peter Yates hit both the American tempo and the box-office jackpot with his first Hollywood film, Bullitt (1968). But after working with big stars he made this, his true masterpiece, with a little-known cast and a young writer, Steve Tesich, who won an Oscar for his first screenplay. Dealing lightly and perceptively with class conflict and the inequities of the social system, it's an unerringly accurate coming-of-age story about four discontented blue-collar 18-year-old boys (admirably played by Dennis Christopher, Daniel Stern, Jackie Earle Haley and Dennis Quaid) spending their last summer of freedom in a midwestern university town, unemployed and patronised by snobbish students. Christopher is particularly endearing in the chief role as a teenage dreamer who becomes obsessed with cycling and adopts an Italian persona to distance himself from his father, a grumpy used-car salesman (Paul Dooley).

William Fraker obituary
10 June 2010 10:37 AM, PDT | The Guardian - Film News | See recent The Guardian - Film News news »
Cinematographer whose innovative work brought him five Oscar nominations
The American cinematographer William Fraker, who has died of cancer aged 86, worked on dozens of mainstream films – the good, the bad, but never the ugly. Fraker could not be praised or blamed for the direction, acting or script, but the look of a film was, on the whole, his responsibility. Although he saw himself as part of a team who tried to fulfil the director's vision, Fraker began to push the boundaries of cinematography in commercial cinema by using faster and wider lenses, restricting lighting sources and employing techniques such as flashing and deliberate overexposure.
According to Fraker: "The director is the captain of the ship, the cinematographer is the executive officer. You have to really learn who you're working with and what they think. It's like a marriage. As a cinematographer, you can immediately tell a terrific director if they »
