Exploring Robert Redford films about alienation
13 May 2013 2:45 AM, PDT | Den of Geek | See recent Den of Geek news »
Feature Aliya Whiteley 14 May 2013 - 05:59
A true Hollywood star, Robert Redford is at his best in smaller, more personal films. Aliya picks three great films about alienation...
Robert Redford was the number one box office star of the early 70s, appearing in huge hits such as The Sting, The Way We Were, and Butch Cassidy And The Sundance Kid. None of those three films show him at his best as an actor, or address the kind of issues he felt passionately about.
His easy camaraderie with Paul Newman and his status as a sex symbol belied the political angle that influenced his decisions in filmmaking and acting. Once he had amassed enough power in Hollywood to call the shots, the roles he took changed; for me, his most interesting performances began once he believed in the message of the film he was making.
He remains a serious and passionate actor, »

Don’t Say No Until I Finish Talking: The Story of Richard D. Zanuck
2 May 2013 12:36 PM, PDT | Variety - TV News | See recent Variety - TV News news »
The best part about “Don’t Say No Until I Finish Talking: The Story of Richard D. Zanuck” comes at the very end, when viewers are informed the producer/executive got to see the finished film three days before his death last July. It certainly would have been a shame if Zanuck had missed Laurent Bouzereau’s tribute, which hails him as the “consummate movie guy.” Produced by Steven Spielberg — whose career took off after making “Jaws” with Zanuck — the Turner Classic Movies production is warm and heartfelt, although to fully do Zanuck’s career justice, you’re going to need a bigger doc.
Zanuck — who died at the age of 77 — is interviewed discussing at length his complicated relationship with his famous father, studio chief Darryl F. Zanuck, who told him he would have to “overcome the circumstances of your birth” in terms of perceptions of nepotism. Their interaction took »

How he kept his radical edge
20 April 2013 4:14 PM, PDT | The Guardian - Film News | See recent The Guardian - Film News news »
Robert Redford plays an ageing anti-war activist in his latest movie, The Company You Keep – just one more incarnation in an ever-changing image
Robert Redford's new film sees the Hollywood liberal play a craggy radical, hiding away from a criminally subversive past under an assumed name. Once the FBI rumbles him, the agents on his trail spend some time comparing the image of his lined face to that of his much younger, 1970s, moustachioed self.
Cinema audiences across the world have travelled down that same long, ageing trail with Redford too, watching as his luminous youth in the role of Bubber in the 1966 film The Chase was gradually replaced, first by the poised cynicism of The Candidate and then by the stately leading man in Out of Africa or the worn-out sleaze of his Indecent Proposal to Demi Moore. Yet, as a man, Redford's radical zeal remains undimmed.

Redford Remembers Watergate in Discovery Channel Doc
18 April 2013 6:50 PM, PDT | Alt Film Guide | See recent Alt Film Guide news »
Watergate Remembered in Discovery Channel Documentary 'Celebrating' the 40th Anniversary of the Watergate Scandal The Washington Post and American journalistic ethics in general may be only a shadow of what they once were -- and most of the U.S. press was never really all that great or even borderline trustworthy to begin with -- but Robert Redford remains the same, glimpsed here with Watergate investigators Carl Bernstein and Bob Woodward, and former Washington Post editor Ben Bradlee, shot (not literally) by Annie Leibovitz. Pictured above: Redford with Bernstein, Bradlee, and Woodward in the iconic Washington Post newsroom. The four veterans got together to promote the Discovery Channel doc All the President’s Men Revisited, about the 40th anniversary of the Watergate scandal that destroyed the Nixon presidency. With Redford as one of its executive producers, the documentary airs this month. Redford played Woodward opposite Dustin Hoffman's Bernstein in »

Linklater May Take A Walk In The Woods
3 April 2013 1:31 PM, PDT | EmpireOnline | See recent EmpireOnline news »
Robert Redford might have been able to bring the Sundance Film Festival to life, and snag a job overseeing the tricky organisation that is S.H.I.E.L.D., but his cinematic white whale appears to be Bill Bryson’s A Walk In The Woods. Now Redford might have the right man for the director’s chair, with Richard Linklater set to come aboard.Adapting Bryson’s beloved travelogue about two childhood friends – the writer and his pal Stephen Katz, who try to walk the Appalachian trail while trading observations about life in general and their own in particular – has been a passion project for Redford since at least 2005.He originally planned it as a reunion with Butch Cassidy/The Sting co-star Paul Newman, an effort curtailed by Newman’s death in 2008. Nick Nolte is taking over the part, but development has proceeded at a glacial pace with writers »

Robert Redford will Lead S.H.I.E.L.D. In ‘Captain America: The Winter Soldier’
2 April 2013 6:00 PM, PDT | LatinoReview | See recent LatinoReview news »
We all know Robert Redford will be in Captain America: The Winter Soldier, but what we didn’t know, until now, is exactly who he will be playing. Thanks to an interview with Spinoff Online, we now have confirmation from the man himself.
“Well, the head of S.H.I.E.L.D. The head of S.H.I.E.L.D.”
Mr Redford also gave us some info on why he decided to take a part in Cap 2:
“The Captain America thing is just a very simple thing. I wanted to do something different. I wanted to do something just to be different. Something bold, different. And that felt like a good thing to do. That was it, nothing more to it than that. Well, it’s bold in terms of expectations, I guess. ”
Captain America is my favorite of the pre-Avengers Marvel films, so I’m psyched for part two. »

Robert Redford Joins Captain America: The Winter Soldier!
23 March 2013 12:58 AM, PDT | Obsessed with Film | See recent Obsessed with Film news »
Deadline reports that the legendary Robert Redford is currently in talks to star in Captain America: The Winter Soldier. Talk about a fun surprise for the end of the week!
The veteran actor, star of classic films Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid, The Sting and All the President’s Men, and who at one point was pretty much “Mr America” of Hollywood, would play a senior leader at Shield, the counter-terrorism and intelligence agency run by Nick Fury (Samuel L. Jackson). It’s the first huge blockbuster release Redford has been involved in for decades and one that in theory could lead to him appearing in several movies in the Marvel Cinematic Universe.
As for who Redford might play specifically, a lot of websites are making the apt suggestion of Colonel Rick Stoner, the first director of Shield, who predates Nick Fury.
Here’s a description of the character »

Robert Redford Signs Up For S.H.I.E.L.D.: Legendary Star In Talks For 'Captain America: The Winter Soldier'
22 March 2013 11:27 AM, PDT | The Playlist | See recent The Playlist news »
Now this is a curveball. Since the era of the tentpole movie came about, legendary star Robert Redford has mostly stayed clear of them. Of course he's starred in blockbusters, but they were back in the day, when men were men and blockbusters were movies like "The Sting" and "Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid" and "A Bridge Too Far." These days, Redford tends to appear in his own work when he acts, and the closest he's come to taking a big studio paycheck in the last decade was voicing a horse in "Charlotte's Web." So we're as surprised as you to learn, via Deadline, that the actor has entered talks to join the cast of upcoming Marvel sequel "Captain America: The Winter Soldier." According to the site, the actor would play a senior member of secret organization S.H.I.E.L.D., a part that, as tends to »

R.I.P. Jaroslav “Jerry” Gebr
21 March 2013 12:50 PM, PDT | Deadline TV | See recent Deadline TV news »
Jaroslav “Jerry” Gebr, longtime head of the Scenic Arts Department at Universal Studios and perhaps best known as the artist who created the paintings featured in the pilot episode of Rod Serling’s Night Gallery, has died. Gebr passed away last month in Tarzana, CA after a long illness, according to his family. He was 86. Gebr worked for some of the biggest names in directing including Steven Spielberg, Clint Eastwood, Alfred Hitchcock and George Roy Hill during his career, and also sidelined in painting portraits and copies of artworks for stars’ collections. “They’d put the originals in safe storage and hang Jerry’s versions on the wall. Nobody could ever tell the difference”, his son-in-law Kevin McMahon said. The bulk of his work was original paintings and fine art copies for movies and TV, typically large assignments such as a full-scale reproduction of Michelangelo’s Sistine Chapel frescoes for »

For Your Ears Only - The 10 Best Bond Themes

Goldfinger. GoldenEye. The Man with the Golden Gun. The world's most famous Martini drinker (shaken not stirred, naturally) has long been synonymous with that most precious and coveted of metals, but given his illustrious half century on the cinema screen there's one area in which gold has eluded him time and again – the Oscars.
Prior to last year's Skyfall (2012) the fifty year old, 24 movie series had garnered just nine nominations, two of which bagged 007 a statue at the 1965 Academy Awards for different films. The Best Effects, Sound Effects award was given to Norman Wanstall for Goldfinger (1964) and John Stears walked off with the Best Effects, Special Visual Effects Oscar for Thunderball (1965).
Though U2 were second choice for the job after the Rolling Stones had turned down a request to come up with a song, Bono was particularly pleased to land the gig as he'd spent his honeymoon at Ian Fleming's house in Jamaica. »

Top 10: Actors turned Directors
6 January 2013 2:15 PM, PST | Blogomatic3000 | See recent Blogomatic3000 news »
Just released in UK cinemas, Quartet is Dustin Hoffman’s directorial debut. He has followed the path of many great actors before him that have turned their attentions and talents towards directing. In this Top 10 we take a look at some other note-worthy actors turned directors to put on your must watch list.
Sean Penn - With a career like Sean Penn’s, which includes award-winning films Dead Man Walking, I Am Sam and Milk, he was set as a Hollywood legend. Wanting more, Penn decided to follow in his father Leo Penn’s footsteps and begin directing. Thankfully he did pick up the camera or we wouldn’t have film greats like The Indian Runner, The Crossing Guard, The Pledge and Into the Wild.

‘Jeremiah Johnson’ Hollywood’s Most Beautiful – and Saddest – Western
5 January 2013 10:53 PM, PST | SoundOnSight | See recent SoundOnSight news »
Directed by Sydney Pollack
Written by Edward Anhalt and John Milius
1972,
The Western, at its creative and commercial peak – the late 1960s-early 1970s – proved itself an astoundingly pliable genre. It could be molded to deal with topical subject matter like racism (Skin Game, 1971), feminism (The Ballad of Josie, 1967), the excesses of capitalism (Oklahoma Crude, 1973). It could be bent into religious allegories (High Plains Drifter, 1973), or an equally allegorical address of the country’s most controversial war (Ulzana’s Raid, 1972). Westerns could be used to deconstruct America’s most self-congratulatory myths (Doc, 1971), and address historical slights and omissions (Little Big Man, 1970). They could provide heady social commentary (Hombre, 1967), or simple adventure and excitement (The Professionals, 1966). They could be funny (The Hallelujah Trail, 1965), unremittingly grim (Hour of the Gun, 1967), surreal (Greaser’s Palace, 1972), even be stretched into the shape of rock musical (Zachariah, 1971) or monster movie (Valley of Gwangi, 1969).
