Watch: Terrible 'The Double' Trailer Reveals Every Twist Of The Plot
31 August 2011 6:24 AM, PDT | The Playlist | See recent The Playlist news »
If you like going into your Richard Tiffany Gere and Christopher John "Topher" Grace (together at last!) buddy movies unspoiled, try avoiding any upcoming promotional material for "The Double," because the trailer that has debuted over at Apple has no qualms about sledgehammering its various plot turns into your consciousness with all the subtlety of a massive, unexpected coronary. The film--which is not that Jesse Eisenberg/Richard Ayoade Dostoevsky adaptation you’ve been hearing about--pits two of Hollywood’s dullest acting talents against each other in what appears to be a ludicrous combination of Michael Mann’s “Heat” and Sally Field’s performance in “Sybil.”… »

From stage-door duties for the RSC, to the village famous for Straw Dogs, Observer writers reveal their idea of a perfect summer, past and present

Pop critic
Let's be honest – the notion of summer as an extended golden period of rest and re-stimulation really now only applies to the young, the retired, or those in the teaching professions. The rest of us slog on, hoping to catch the odd festival (or maybe just gig in a park), marking time until camping in Cornwall or fly-drive to France, where finally luxuriating in the latest Alan Hollinghurst will come a distant second to stopping the youngest weeing in the hotel pool.
Once, though, I was artfully feckless too, making the rent by working as an usher for the Royal Shakespeare Company. "Good evening ladies and gentlemen, and welcome to the »

Margaret Tyzack obituary

One of Britain's most distinguished actors, known for her roles on stage and screen
Margaret Tyzack, who has died aged 79, was one of Britain's greatest and most popular actors, working on stage, television and film for more than half a century. Sometimes described as being in the mould of Edith Evans and Flora Robson, she will be remembered particularly for performances in the golden age of BBC TV drama – Winifred in The Forsyte Saga (1967), Antonia in I, Claudius (1976) – as well as for stage performances such as Martha in the National Theatre's revival of Edward Albee's Who's Afraid of Virginia Woolf (1981), for which she won an Olivier award for best actress, and Lottie with Maggie Smith in Lettice and Lovage (1987 and 1990), which earned her both Tony and Variety Club stage actress of the year awards. In 2008, well into her 70s, she scored perhaps one of her finest triumphs on stage as the wily, »

Sally Field Joins Steven Spielberg's 'Lincoln' Biopic With Daniel Day-Lewis
14 April 2011 8:20 AM, PDT | Filmology | See recent Filmology news »
Yay! We've always identified with been partial to the superstitious, shopaholic, probably-bipolar First Lady Mary Todd Lincoln, wife of 16th American President Old Abe. And Sally Field's good with us. I mean, Sybil! Steel Magnolias! And she won two Oscars! And she guest-starred as the mother of wet dishrag Maura Tierney's character, Abby Lockhart, on E.R. that time. And we liked her as the wisecracking comedian/housewife in Punchline. (We were also the only people who saw Punchline.)

With The Adventures of Tintin: The Secret of the Unicorn and War Horse coming out at the end of the year, Steven Spielberg is back in full force since 2008′s disappointing Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull. He is set to begin production on Lincoln this fall for a late 2012 release, and we have a new cast member to announce.
Dreamworks just sent over this press release stating Sally Field will star as Mary Todd Lincoln opposite Daniel Day-Lewis, who joined the project last year after Liam Neeson dropped out. Tony Kushner (Munich) has written on the script that “will focus on the political collision of Lincoln and the powerful men of his cabinet on the road to abolition and the end of the Civil War.” Field will next be seen in Marc Webb‘s The Amazing Spider-Man as May Parker. Check out the full press release below. »
