The Notable Films of 2010: Part Five
23 December 2009 10:10 AM, PST | Dark Horizons | See recent Dark Horizons news »
Opens: 2010
Cast: Cillian Murphy, Sienna Miller, Max Minghella, Emma Booth, Lee Ingleby
Director: Beeban Kidron
Summary: Follows the love story of Oz editor Richard Neville and Louise Ferrier. Neville and his cohorts launch the London edition of Oz amidst the 1960s counterculture and are subsequently put on trial for distributing a sexually explicit issue.
Analysis: One of the most troubled productions in Working Title's history, 'Hippie' began development back in 1998 but failed to get beyond script stage both in 1999 and in 2002 when "Elizabeth" helmer Shekhar Kapur was attached to direct. Filming finally got underway late 2007 with director Beeban Kidron in charge and shooting seemed to proceed without issue aside from feminist author Germaine Greer being vehemently unhappy about being depicted on film.
Actually the film scored quite a bit of free press for a skinny dipping scene where full-frontal shots of actress Sienna Miller shooting the sequence »

Brittany Murphy's sudden death at the age of 32 has thrust her husband of two and a half years, Simon Monjack, into the media spotlight for the first time without his wife by his side. So who is Monjack?
Monjack started his career as a commercial director and went on to become both a screenwriter and film director. The 39-year-old's most high-profile exposure came via story and executive producer credits on 2006's "Factory Girl," the Sienna Miller-starring biopic about '60s It girl Edie Sedgwick. Before then, he directed and co-wrote "Two Days, Nine Lives," an indie film one critic likened to "The Breakfast Club," only "with more crack."
Murphy and Monjack got engaged in 2006 and married the following year at their »
Anthony Michael Hall Guest Stars As “Mike The Bully” In a New ‘Community’ Clip
8 December 2009 9:00 AM, PST | The Flickcast | See recent The Flickcast news »
Yesterday, we brought you a brand new clip from this week’s episode of Community entitled “Comparative Religion.” In this week’s episode, the A-story is about Shirley’s (Yvette Nicole Brown) Christmas party, while the B-story is about Mike the Bully (guest star Anthony Michael Hall) tormenting Joel McHale and the gang.
The Breakfast Club alum makes his first guest appearance in what could prove to be a recurring role in the series, as a middle-aged, mustachioed tough-guy who doesn’t seem to like the male members of the study group.
In this clip, Mike sets his sights on Abed (Danny Pudi) after all the Christmas cookies are gone. Jeff (Joel McHale) decides to do the right thing and step in. This episode also marks the first time that Anthony Michael Hall and series regular Chevy Chase have shared a screen since they played father and son in 1983’s National Lampoon’s Vacation. »

Ex-girlfriend Defends 'Non-violent' Hall
3 December 2009 4:06 AM, PST | WENN | See recent WENN news »
Anthony Michael Hall's ex-girlfriend has stepped in to defend the actor after he was accused of attacking a former lover last month - insisting the Brat Pack star is "absolutely not violent."
Diana Falzone, who dated Hall for a year, filed papers against The Breakfast Club star on 10 November alleging he attempted to kick down her apartment door. She was subsequently granted a temporary restraining order against him.
Hall refuted the claims, branding his ex's story "erroneous," but a detailed police report obtained by the New York Post revealed he allegedly "pushed, shoved and spit at" Falzone during the incident.
Actress Sandy Guerard, who lived with Hall for five years, is shocked by the allegations - and she's adamant her former lover could not have committed such an act.
She tells the newspaper's PageSix gossip column, "He has one of the biggest hearts of anyone I know. He is absolutely not violent. These allegations would be laughable if it were not such a serious issue. Never in over 10 years has this man ever been violent to me. I will stand by him, along with his family, 100 per cent. It saddens me to the core." »
Former Brat Packer Gets in on Vampire Craze in a Bid for Continued Career Relevance
30 November 2009 2:00 PM, PST | Celebuzz.com | See recent Celebuzz news »
In an apparent attempt to revive his career by capitalizing on the current craze for all things vampire, former Brat Pack member Anthony Michael Hall allegedly "bit his girlfriend's forehead" earlier this month, according to Radar Online. Hall—who rose to fleeting fame in such '80s John Hughes films as Sixteen Candles and The Breakfast Club—is also alleged to have "pushed, shoved and spit at" his significant other, Sirius Radio host Diana Falzone, during an argument in her New York apartment in the early-morning hours of November 10. Though no motive for the biting attack has yet been determined, it's widely believed that »

Hall Bit Girlfriend
30 November 2009 8:16 AM, PST | WENN | See recent WENN news »
The Breakfast Club star Anthony Michael Hall "bit his girlfriend's forehead" during an alleged attack at her New York home this month, according to newly-released police reports.
Diana Falzone, who dated the actor for a year, filed papers against the Brat Pack star on 10 November alleging he attempted to kick down her apartment door. Hall refuted the claims, calling his ex's story "erroneous".
However, a detailed police report reveals the actor "pushed, shoved and spit at" Falzone in the early hours of 10 November, and returned "intoxicated", repeatedly banging on her door before he was escorted out by officers.
Falzone was granted a temporary restraining order against the star on 12 November, which orders Hall, 41, to "refrain from assault, stalking, harassment... menacing, reckless endangerment... intimidation" against her.
The actor, who has previously admitted he suffers from bipolar disorder, is not under investigation. »
Exclusive Interview: Jon Harris
29 November 2009 6:48 PM, PST | HeyUGuys.co.uk | See recent HeyUGuys news »
Though still only in his early forties Jon Harris has already had a long and impressive career in film. Having worked as editor on such Brit classics as Layer Cake, Snatch and Starter for Ten and worldwide hits The Descent and Stardust, he is much in demand. Indeed he most recently worked on the fervently anticipated Kick-Ass alongside Matthew Vaughn. What would tempt such a man out of the editing suite? The opportunity to direct The Descent: Part 2. Jon recently spoke to HeyUGuys to tell us more…
Hug: We’d like to start by congratulating you on your directorial debut Jon. The Descent: Part 2 had its World Premiere at Frightfest in Leicester Square and will be released in the UK on 4th December. Your first feature film is a reality but does it seem real to you yet?
Jh: Thanks very much. I’m not sure it does feel real at the moment. »

Celebrity Biography: Ryan Sheckler
19 November 2009 9:12 AM, PST | PopStar | See recent PopStar news »
Ryan Sheckler is the boy next door. The all American skateboard champion made his first appearance as Ryan Allen Sheckler on December 30, 1989 to parents Gretchen and Randy Sheckler, in San Clemente, California. He has two younger brothers, Shane and Kane. Ryan, nicknamed "Shecky," discovered his father's old skateboard at the early age of 18 months, and taught himself to push it around using one knee, until he learned how to stand on it. The rest, as they say, is history. By the age of six, he was doing tricks and began practicing for up to twenty-two hours per week in his backyard. At the age of seven, he competed in and won his first competition. His father, at Ryan's request, convinced legendary skateboard champion Tony Hawk to attend Ryan's seventh birthday party! This was a pinnacle event for Ryan, one he credits for inspiring him to continue his focus on skateboarding. »

Watch This: Movie Titles That Slip Into the Dialogue
5 November 2009 2:32 PM, PST | Cinematical | See recent Cinematical news »
Watch a lot of movies, and you'll get conditioned to look for that special moment when it all comes together and someone utters the words that also happen to make up the title of the movie. Sometimes it's inevitable -- if the film is titled after a character's name, or the flick's main theme, then it's going to make its way into the film. A lot. Other times, writers cleverly slip it in as that tongue-in-cheek addition for the audience's amusement.
Having a little fun with movie clips, Videogum has whipped up a mosaic of scenes where characters say the film of the movie in the film. From Katharine Hepburn's distinct voice stating: "Guess who's coming to dinner?" to Dances with Wolves, to things being "gone, baby ... gone" and Sharon Stone writing about "basic instincts," there's a good range of those little pithy and inevitable moments. Most of them are all-too-brief, »

Anthony Michael Hall: Coming to Community
1 November 2009 11:03 AM, PST | TVfanatic | See recent TVfanatic news »
Community has often, hilariously compared itself to The Breakfast Club.
Now, in an inspired bit of casting, one of the stars from that iconic film will guest star on the NBC sitcom.
TV Guide Magazine confirms that Anthony Michael Hall will appear on a the December 10 episode. His character will brawl with Joel McHale's Jeff Winger.
“We all freaked out when Hall’s casting was announced. I blushed profusely," said Alison Brie (Annie). "I couldn’t help but let him know that I’ve been a big fan. It’s funny, because Annie’s the nerdy character, and we referenced The Breakfast Club in the pilot and in episodes.
Over two decades ago, Hall also appeared with Community's Chevy Chase in the comedy Vacation. »

Lost – The John Hughes Edition?
31 October 2009 6:05 PM, PDT | TVovermind.com | See recent TVovermind.com news »
Is Lost planning an homage to John Hughes? The ever vigilant Ryan from TheTransmission passed on some details regarding a day of shooting that, among other things, suggested: Mario Van Pebbles onset as a guest director or producer; fan favorites Locke and Ben possibly taking on the role of substitute teachers; second stringers Alex Rousseau and Leslie Arzt; and, Ryan has exclusively revealed to us the identity of a certain William Atherton's character. Anyway you slice the scoops, one thing is clear: this episode of Lost is high-school centric.
Atherton's appearance on Lost was first revealed through some teasing tweets from Lost executive producer Carlton Cuse, and we now know he will be playing the part of Principal Reynolds. Tell me this guy wasn't born to play a bad ass principal. Arzt, as you will recall, was a junior high science teacher so it appears we will see him back in his role, »

Bay’s Platinum Dunes Signs with Paramount
7 October 2009 7:02 PM, PDT | newsinfilm.com | See recent newsinfilm news »
Michael Bay’s production company, Platinum Dunes, has signed a first look deal with Paramount Pictures to bring more low-budget genre films to the studio.
Since its creation in 2001 by Bay, Brad Fuller, and Andrew Form, Platinum Dunes has primarily focused on horror remakes including The Texas Chainsaw Massacre, Friday the 13th, and the upcoming redo of A Nightmare on Elm Street.
As an arm of Paramount, the company will continue to focus on what they’ve built their name on, like a new original project “The Butcherhouse Chronicles” being described as “The Breakfast Club in a haunted house.” Though the new deal will allow them to expand to thrillers and action films as well. It’ll be nice to see them try something new and hopefully it won’t shift to the bright idea of remaking classic thrillers instead.
The deal and its timing could mean Paramount and Platinum Dunes »

Whip It – Movie Review
7 October 2009 11:01 AM, PDT | AreYouScreening.com | See recent AreYouScreening news »
Perhaps tied a little too closely to the generic plot arc of a sports film, Whip It nevertheless delivers a fun time and a long overdue worthwhile return to generational exploration. It is unfortunately macabre now to say that there is no John Hughes working in Hollywood today, but there hasn't been since the mid-80's, and while Drew Barrymore is not remotely John Hughes, Whip It is at least a cleverly-expressed attempt. Had we someone at the helm who could really pull at the small nuances and milk every scene for all it's worth (in the good way), this one would in all likelihood have been able to rock you to the core and shoot to instant classic status. Remember the first time you say The Breakfast Club, or Ferris Bueller's Day Off? That kind of potential is in here. As it stands, we only have a really good effort, »

Platinum Dunes Signs With Paramount for ‘Butcherhouse Chronicles’
7 October 2009 10:54 AM, PDT | ScreenRant.com | See recent Screen Rant news »
When informed people (like those over at Collider, who brought this to our attention) think Platinum Dunes, they recall the production company owned by Michael Bay, Brad Fuller and Andrew Form. When I think Platinum Dunes, I imagine that Kanye West “Dancing in the Desert” music video.
But I digress.
Platinum Dunes has signed a first-look deal with Paramount, starting with their next film, The Butcherhouse Chronicles. A first-look deal, for those who don’t know, is (very briefly) an agreement in which a Party A (Paramount) has the right to pick up a project before Party B (Dunes) can offer it to anyone else.
The Butcherhouse Chronicles is a thriller that follows teenagers into an allegedly haunted house. Collider tells us the producers are calling it “The Breakfast Club in a haunted house” - although I swear that’s been the catchy pitch for 20 other movies in the last decade. »

Paramount Signs First-Look Deal With Platinum Dunes
7 October 2009 6:39 AM, PDT | WeAreMovieGeeks.com | See recent WeAreMovieGeeks.com news »
Paramount really wants their horror, and they want it early. According to Variety, the studio has signed a first-look deal with Michael Bay’s Platinum Dunes, famous for developing and backing low budget horror movies, most of them remakes. This marks the first term deal from Adam Goodman, since he stepped in as president of the Paramount Pictures Film Group in June.
Says Goodman about the deal:
What makes us so excited to have Platinum Dunes here at Paramount is how Michael, Brad and Andrew carved out an important niche for themselves over the past few years. They have consistently created excitingly commercial movies that have proven to be a formidable force at the box office. We look forward to a long and productive partnership with them.
Two projects are on tap for Paramount to take a look at. First up is ‘The Butcherhouse Chronicles,’ a thriller written by ‘The Grudge’ scribe Stephen Susco, »

Platinum Dunes Next Film Is The Butcherhouse Chronicles; Signs First Look Deal With Paramount
6 October 2009 9:38 PM, PDT | Collider.com | See recent Collider.com news »
Platinum Dunes, the company owned by Michael Bay, Brad Fuller, and Andrew Form has signed a first-look deal with Paramount Pictures - whom Bay has worked with on the “Transformers” movies. Now it’s being reported that Platinum’s next film will be “The Butcherhouse Chronicles”, which is being described as “The Breakfast Club” in a haunted house. More details after the jump.
Since its inception, Platinum Dunes has predominantly been a production company that specializes in making genre pictures (typically horror) that have strong name recognition (typically remakes) and that are made at a relatively low cost. This system has brought decent financial success to Platinum Dunes with its “Texas Chainsaw Massacre” and “Friday the 13th” releases, among others. Its newest addition to the remake canon “A Nightmare on Elm Street,” starring Academy Award-nominated actor Jackie Earle Haley as the horror heavy Freddie Krueger, looks to continue the streak. »
