Cutting Edge Tunes Up Shingle Aimed at Music-Themed Pics (Exclusive)
14 May 2013 1:00 PM, PDT | Variety - Film News | See recent Variety - Film News news »
Cutting Edge Group, which has invested in more than 200 films, is forming the Cutting Edge Originals banner to develop and produce music-themed feature films.
“Cutting Edge Originals is about great stories that will depend on great music,” said Ceg topper Philip Moross. “This model was perfected by the late Robert Stigwood with ‘Saturday Night Fever’ and ‘Grease,’ and we’re aiming just as high.”
The production shingle is launching at Cannes with producer-financier James Gibb and Tara Moross, Ceg’s current head of business development, as co-toppers.
Five-year-old Ceg has invested in “The King’s Speech,” “Drive,” “Looper” and “End of Watch” in exchange for music publishing rights.
It handles scoring, clearances and music supervision in a film, then recoups from soundtrack and sheet-music sales; licensing and royalties from international ticket sales and TV deals; and rights in TV commercials.
Earlier this year, Ceg raised $100 million in equity as part »

11 May 2013 3:00 PM, PDT | Variety - Film News | See recent Variety - Film News news »
You’re a big star who wants to work for a cause, and you have a personal story tied to the cause, but where do you start? Try Ck&D, an L.A.-based marketing and media firm that is helping Fortune 500 companies and non-profit organizations spread awareness by connecting charities with celebrities such as Allison Janney, Seth Rogen and Ken Jeong.
Last year, Elizabeth Banks starred in a short film about women and heart disease for the American Heart Assn. The film was both poignant and comedic. And in March, Terrence Howard spearheaded the Colon Cancer Alliance’s Sons and Mothers campaign, delivering an emotional public service announcement about the loss of his mother to the disease.
“Our job is to assess what celebrities care about. Banks had two female family members with heart conditions so she was invested in the cause, which makes what we do genuine,” says Judi Ketcik, »

The 20 Best Songs Written For Movies
7 May 2013 7:00 AM, PDT | NextMovie | See recent NextMovie news »
Everyone seems just as pumped for the Jay-z-produced soundtrack for "The Great Gatsby" as they are for the flick itself. But before we look ahead at what The Hova has in store for what we can only imagine will be the coolest-ever soundtrack to something you were forced to read in high school, let's look back at some of the all-time great movie songs.

20. Three 6 Mafia: 'Hard Out Here For a Pimp' ('Hustle & Flow')
Three 6 Mafia took home the Oscar for Best Original Song for this jam that confirmed what we had all already suspected: Pimpin' ain't easy. Terrence Howard and Taryn Manning's performances in "Hustle & Flow" were stellar, but there's little doubt that Three 6 Mafia's Oscar appearance, combined with host Jon Stewart's verbal Oscar tally ("Three 6 Mafia 1, Martin Scorcese 0") is what everyone remembers most about the movie. »

'Glee': Madonna! Stevie Wonder! The top ten tribute episodes -- ranked! Video
3 May 2013 12:25 PM, PDT | EW.com - PopWatch | See recent EW.com - PopWatch news »
As anyone with even a passing familiarity with Glee — or iTunes charts — is aware, the show knows its way around a tribute episode, a.k.a. an episode where all of the music is from one artist or film. A ‘tribute episode’ also typically means there are seven or eight songs in the hour-long dramedy, as opposed to the usual standard of four. Great news for those of us who are watching the show for the karaoke! (I can’t be the only one dancing around my living room to Madonna or Lady Gaga Glee covers, right?)

John Travolta Shows Off Incredible Weight Loss
18 April 2013 11:44 AM, PDT | Huffington Post | See recent Huffington Post news »
Oh my sir, you're looking dapper.
John Travolta, Mr. Saturday Night Fever himself, attended the Qantas Gala Dinner in Sydney, Australia, today and showed off his incredible post-weight loss figure in a slim-cut, stylish suit.
The 59-year-old star went through some thick times a few years ago but he is certainly back to his slender self and looks great even standing next to supermodel Miranda Kerr, who was also in attendance at the event.
Last year, Travolta told InTouch of the exercise routine that helped him lose the pounds. "I've been working hard! Six games of tennis a day plus an hour of weight-lifting. Every day, well, no, six days a week," he said.
Check out Travolta's transformation below (on the left, circa 2007; on the right, today):

Staying Alive

Some six years after first coming down with Saturday Night Fever, disco king Tony Manero (John Travolta) is still dreaming of Broadway stardom while giving dance classes and working in a bar. Sylvester Stallone is not the most obvious choice as director, but he draws inspiration from perspiration and, of course, the The Bee Gees' irresistible tunes. On the dance floor, Travolta is first-rate and Cynthia Rhodes (doing all her own singing and dancing) is more than a match for his moves as his long-suffering girlfriend. »

Big Honor For Simon & Garfunkel; Is A Reunion In The Cards?
21 March 2013 5:21 AM, PDT | Huffington Post | See recent Huffington Post news »
Washington — A popular tune by Simon and Garfunkel written after John F. Kennedy's assassination and Chubby Checker's 1960s dance hit "The Twist" will be among 25 recordings selected for preservation at the Library of Congress.
These are just a few sounds of the 20th century being added to the National Recording Registry on Thursday for long-term preservation due to their cultural, artistic and historic importance. The library said Checker's rendition of "The Twist" became a symbol for the energy and excitement of the early 60s after "American Bandstand" host Dick Clark chose Checker to record a new version of the song.
Later, the 1966 album "Sounds of Silence" by Paul Simon and Art Garfunkel was a hit in its day but not before the duo struggled and split early on. Their song "The Sound of Silence" from the aftermath of President Kennedy's assassination 50 years ago this year had initially flopped »
