Snow White And The Huntsman Box Office: Strong Midnight Debut
2 hours ago | Alt Film Guide | See recent Alt Film Guide news »
Snow White and the Huntsman movie Snow White and the Huntsman box office: Starring Kristen Stewart, Chris Hemsworth, Charlize Theron, and Sam Claflin, Rupert Sanders‘ Snow White and the Huntsman opened strongly at Thursday midnight screenings in North America, grossing an estimated $1.38m at only 1,092 theaters. That’s nearly 40% more than the $1m earned by the Sam Worthington 3D fantasy Wrath of the Titans at nearly 1,500 sites, and more than twice the take of the Tim Burton / Johnny Depp comedy Dark Shadows ($550k at 1,600 locations). Another box-office comparison: Snow White and the Huntsman‘s $1,266 per-theater average far surpassed that of Will Smith / Tommy Lee Jones’ Men in Black III‘s $694 at 2,232 locations last week. Although it’s true that all things being equal, the fewer the number of theaters the higher the per-theater average should be, that doesn’t explain an 80% higher average for Swath. Not to mention the fact »

Snow White And The Huntsman Reviews
31 May 2012 12:38 PM, PDT | Alt Film Guide | See recent Alt Film Guide news »
Snow White and the Huntsman, Snow White’s Mother (Liberty Ross) Snow White and the Huntsman reviews have been mixed in the British and American media. (Please see link below.) Most critics have enthusiastically praised the film’s visuals and fairy-tale atmosphere, while complaining about its length and lack of dramatic cohesiveness. Directed by feature-film newcomer Rupert Sanders, previously a director of commercials, and starring Kristen Stewart, Charlize Theron, Chris Hemsworth, and Sam Claflin, Snow White and the Huntsman opened today in the UK and Ireland. Reviews for the film’s stellar cast have also been wildly mixed. If noticed at all, Thor / The Avengers‘ Chris Hemsworth has mostly gotten his Scottish accent dismissed as artificial. Some critics found Oscar winner Charlize Theron’s presence a welcome relief to Snow White and the Huntsman‘s gloomy tones; others, however, found Theron either too campy or not campy enough. (Theron, by the way, »

Rodrigo Santoro Talks What To Expect When You’Re Expecting, Love Actually, the 300 Sequel, Possibly Playing Ayrton Senna in a Biopic, and a Lot More
19 May 2012 2:01 PM, PDT | Collider.com | See recent Collider.com news »
While not as well known in America as some of his counterparts in What to Expect When You’re Expecting, Rodrigo Santoro is absolutely the bigger star in places like Brazil. That's because while Santoro has acted in some Hollywood movies and TV shows like Love Actually, 300, I Love You Phillip Morris (which is severely underrated) and Lost (he played Paulo), in Brazil he's acted in countless movies and he's a big time movie star. At the recent Los Angeles press day for What to Expect When You're Expecting (he plays Jennifer Lopez's husband), I landed an extended interview with Santoro. During our wide ranging conversation we talked about how he got into acting, his favorite movies, how he got cast in What to Expect, the success of Love Actually, and the 300 sequel/spin-off 300: Battle of Artemisia . In addition, Santoro addresses the rumor of him playing famed Brazilian Formula One racer, »

She Is the One: Kristen Stewart/Snow White And The Huntsman Clip
11 May 2012 9:36 PM, PDT | Alt Film Guide | See recent Alt Film Guide news »
Snow White and the Huntsman: Snow White (Kristen Stewart) and white stag A magical white stag bows before Kristen Stewart’s Snow White in this Snow White and the Huntsman clip, “She’s the One.” (Please scroll down.) Stewart, who has nothing to say, looks quite beautiful and so does the stag. Dominic Watkins‘ production design in Snow White and the Huntsman looks simply superb. Chris Hemsworth, whose Huntsman hasn’t bathed since long before the fall of the Roman Empire, doesn’t have much to say in this Snow White and the Huntsman clip ("What you’re talking about?"). But after watching the previous Swath clip, I’m not sure I buy his uncouth British accent — or his lines. More convincing is Bob Hoskins (Oscar nominee for Mona Lisa, 1986) as one of the dwarves. Hoskins has a great little monologue; the way he delivers each word, you’d »

Snow White And The Huntsman Clip: Chris Hemsworth/Charlize Theron
11 May 2012 3:28 PM, PDT | Alt Film Guide | See recent Alt Film Guide news »
Chris Hemsworth, Huntsman: Snow White and the Huntsman Charlize Theron is possessed by the Bette Davis of The Private Lives of Elizabeth and Essex (and The Virgin Queen) in this Snow White and the Huntsman clip. (Please scroll down.) Chris Hemsworth is the Huntsman who is brave (or stupid or crazy) enough to dare think he has the option not to do what his queen is telling him to. The "she" referred to in the Snow White and the Huntsman clip is, needless to say, Snow White (Kristen Stewart). According to a cool-looking talking mirror, Snow White is destined to surpass the Queen in sheer fairness. The Queen, none too happy, wants Snow to melt away. Snow, however, turns out to be as resilient as she’s white. Directed by Rupert Sanders, Snow White and the Huntsman opens June 1. In addition to Charlize Theron (to be seen in Ridley Scott »

New G.I. Joe: Retaliation posters arrive online
9 May 2012 1:54 PM, PDT | Flickeringmyth | See recent Flickeringmyth news »
Here at Flickering Myth, we've got high hopes that the upcoming action sequel G.I. Joe: Retaliation will go some way to erasing the memory of the Joes' first big-screen outing in Stephen Sommers' G.I. Joe: The Rise of Cobra. With a C.V that includes Step Up 2: The Streets, Step Up 3D and Justin Bieber: Never Say Never, incoming director Jon M. Chu may not have been the most obvious choice to take over the reins, but he's overseen near-wholesale changes to series, including the addition of A-list acting talent such as Dwayne Johnson (Fast & Furious 5) and Bruce Willis (Die Hard) - both of whom feature prominently in the latest wave of promotional posters from the sequel.
Based upon what we've seen so far, it's obvious that The Rock is set to be the star attraction in Retaliation and the UK poster (released via Empire) only serves to confirm this, »

Film News: Sci-Fi Spectacular 6 to Invade Chicago’s Portage Theater on April 28, 2012
24 April 2012 10:18 AM, PDT | HollywoodChicago.com | See recent HollywoodChicago.com news »
Chicago – Sci-fi film buffs in the Windy City are invited to attend an April marathon bursting with cinematic gems. “Sci-Fi Spectacular 6” kicks off at noon Saturday, April 28, at the Portage Theater, 4050 N. Milwaukee Ave. It showcases over 14 hours of beloved features, shorts and rare trailers as they were originally intended to be experienced—on the big screen.
Two major highlights at this year’s event are key masterpieces in the career of Terry Gilliam. 1985’s “Brazil” creates an unforgettable portrait of a dystopian future both amusingly absurdist and unsettlingly provocative. Jonathan Pryce stars alongside Kim Greist, Ian Holm and Robert De Niro, while cinematographer Roger Pratt and production designer Norman Garwood provide unforgettable imagery. Equally mesmerizing is Gilliam’s 1995 thriller “12 Monkeys,” in which a grizzled convict (Bruce Willis) travels back in time to prevent a man-made virus from destroying the future. Brad Pitt’s Oscar-nominated turn as a crazed virus »

Mark Wahlberg Set For John Grisham’s The Partner?
12 April 2012 12:36 AM, PDT | The Hollywood News | See recent The Hollywood News news »
Mark Wahlberg is apparently in early talks to join the cast of the John Grisham adaptation The Partner, according to the folks over at Variety. The film is being adapted for the big screen by screenwriter Arnon Milchan for New Regency, and it looks like Wahlberg is all set to produce the film too, alongside partner Stephen Levinson at Leverage Management.
The Grisham novel was first published in 2005, and revolves around Patrick Lanigan, a young partner in a prominent law firm who fakes his own death to steal a fortune from his company before starting a new life in Brazil. Directors are currently being sought for the project.
Wahlberg is a very busy boy indeed. He’s currently shooting the Michael Bay movie Pain And Gain, and there are whispers that he’s tackling a Us remake of the Jo Nesbo novel Headhunters.

Wahlberg Up For Grisham's "Partner"
10 April 2012 8:33 PM, PDT | Dark Horizons | See recent Dark Horizons news »
Mark Wahlberg is in early talks to join the film adaptation of the John Grisham best-seller "The Partner" for New Regency reports Variety.
The 1997 novel follows Patrick Lanigan, a young partner in a white shoe Biloxi law firm with a wife and newborn daughter. Trapped in a burning car one night, he died, leaving behind only ashes.
But Lanigan is disillusioned enough by his life to fake his death and steal $90 million from his firm. He just has to hope the wrong people don’t catch up with him as he goes on the run and begins a new life in Brazil.
Wahlberg, Stephen Levinson and Arnon Milchan will produce. John Lee Hancock was previously slated to direct but that's no longer the case with other scribes and directors currently being considered. »

Brazil, 1985.
Directed by Terry Gilliam.
Starring Jonathan Pryce, Robert De Niro, Katherine Helmond, Ian Holm, Bob Hoskins, Michael Palin and Kim Greist.
Brazil is Terry Gilliam’s black comedy futuristic fantasy film is set in a dystopian world that is overly reliant on poor machinery. The world of the film is run by a bureaucratic and totalitarian government that controls much of people’s lives. The machines and government are portrayed as whimsical and even slapstick as Gilliam brings a unique dystopian satire to the big screen.
The film follows Sam Lowry (Pryce), a man who dreams of flying with great wings and saving a girl in distress. His life of mind-numbing office work, a lack of personal space in his tiny apartment and little or no opportunity to better his situation leads »

Terry Gilliam discusses upcoming projects, Don Quixote, and John Carter

Terry Gilliam should be more successful, but because he is a perfectionist and will not negotiate on his films, he has become somewhat of an outcast in Hollywood. But, the Monty Python alum is also responsible for some of the best movies of all time: Brazil, Twelve Monkeys, and Time Bandits are great movies that have influenced today's filmmakers. Vulture recently sat down for an interview with Mr. Gilliam and discussed projects both past and present along with some that never quite turned »

Kristen Stewart News (of Old)

Kristen Stewart Kristen Stewart news of old … In the above picture you can see none other than Kristen Stewart, aka Bella Swan aka Snow White aka KStew aka the second half of Robsten, at the Chinese Theatre in Hollywood on Nov. 3, 2011. Stewart and fellow Twilight players Robert Pattinson and Taylor Lautner were present to get their hands dirty in wet cement. [See Stewart, Pattinson, and Lautner's dirty hands.] Some were highly critical of the Twilighters becoming immortalized at the Chinese Theatre, but one of us at Alt Film Guide clearly disagreed with the naysayers. Among those who had their hands and/or feet set in cement before Stewart, Pattinson, and Lautner were Paul Newman, Joanne Woodward, Joan Crawford, Tyrone Power, Mary Pickford, Carmen Miranda, Daniel Radcliffe, Bette Davis, Jack Nicholson, Sylvester Stallone, Cher, and Doris Day. This year, Kristen Stewart will be seen in three movies: In June, Rupert Sanders' Snow White and the Huntsman, with Charlize Theron, »

Looking back at Terry Gilliam's Twelve Monkeys
27 March 2012 3:19 AM, PDT | Den of Geek | See recent Den of Geek news »
Terry Gilliam followed up 1991‘s The Fisher King with the even more successful sci-fi, Twelve Monkeys. Andrew takes a look back at a 90s classic...
After 1991’s The Fisher King proved to be a relatively easy production and comfortably made its budget back, Terry Gilliam decided to work from somebody else's script again for his next movie, having abandoned an adaptation of A Tale Of Two Cities. The initial inspiration for Twelve Monkeys came from 1962's La Jetée, which resulted in a pitch to Universal Studios by Robert Kosberg (a producer on Commando and Deep Blue Sea) after gaining permission from the La Jetée's director Chris Marker.
Gilliam came on board at the request of producer Charles Roven, agreeing to do the film because of the script and the fact that he saw the film as being conceptually similar to Brazil. For Twelve Monkeys, though, Universal was willing to »
Imagine Entertainment To Re-Imagine George Orwell’s 1984
22 March 2012 5:01 AM, PDT | Obsessed with Film | See recent Obsessed with Film news »
It’s been over sixty years since the book was first published and twenty-eight years after it’s aforementioned prophesied date, but the ideas and themes put forward in George Orwell’s seminal work ‘1984’ seem more and more relevant with each passing day. So it would make sense that now comes word that Ron Howard and Brian Grazer’s Imagine Entertainment and Julie Yorn over at Lbi Entertainment are teaming up to develop a new adaptation of Orwell’s work.
Set in a dystopian future, the story takes place in a society called Oceania, forever locked in a state of war, overseen by the seemingly omniscient Big Brother who controlled everything via ‘The Party’, where individuality is outlawed and propaganda, surveillance, mind control and paranoia are everyday concepts.
The story focuses on Winston Smith, a man who works for the Ministry of Truth, where he alters the facts and histories »

Orwell's Nineteen Eighty-Four forecast for Hollywood remake
22 March 2012 4:35 AM, PDT | The Guardian - Film News | See recent The Guardian - Film News news »
An American consortium that includes director Ron Howard is set to make a new film of George Orwell's highly influential novel
Hollywood is planning a new version of Nineteen Eighty-Four, George Orwell's classic dystopian science-fiction novel which warned of the dangers of totalitarian government and spawned the term Big Brother.
Set in a world where three warring superstates battle each other eternally without any hope of victory, Orwell's 1949 novel has already had two big-screen adaptations. The 1956 version, starring Edmond O'Brien, Michael Redgrave and Jan Sterling, changed the storyline radically from the source material and is these days hard to find, as it was withdrawn from circulation by Orwell's estate following the expiry of a distribution agreement. The best-known version is Michael Radford's critically acclaimed 1984 retelling, starring John Hurt as everyman Winston Smith, the restless party worker who dares to dream of independent thought and possible romance.
