Danny DeVito Wraps Shooting On New Thriller
11 May 2012 10:11 PM, PDT | Boomtron | See recent Boomtron news »
The Complex examines Danny’s potential for success as purveyor of thrills and chills.
There was a time in the early ’90s that it looked like Danny DeVito was really about to sprout his directorial wings and fly. He’d made two pretty successful comedies in Throw Momma from the Train and War of the Roses before moving directing David Mamet’s epic screenplay for Hoffa.
Interesting film, Hoffa. I was more or less a kid in ’92 when that film came out, and I think I took it in at the theater three times. There was a resurgence of mob-leaning movies in those days after the revelation of GoodFellas, and whatever it was that The Godfather: Part III turned out to be. I loved all that stuff so I absorbed as much of it as I could.
Hoffa looked and felt like a great film, but twenty years later, I »

Danny DeVito Directs Post-Apocalyptic Flick
11 May 2012 3:52 PM, PDT | DreadCentral.com | See recent Dread Central news »
Danny DeVito has made no bones about it ... he loves horror movies. The gorier, the better! So it's only natural that the acclaimed funnyman would want to try his hand at directing one, a post-apocalyptic thriller. Read on!
From the Press Release
Shangri-La Entertainment announced today that Danny DeVito has wrapped shooting on his apocalyptic thriller and is now in post-production. Directed by DeVito, the currently untitled project stars William Fichtner (The Dark Knight, Black Hawk Down and The Perfect Storm) soon to be seen in The Lone Ranger, playing the nemesis to Johnny Depp’s Tonto; Lance Reddick, the imposing Lieutenant Daniels on hit series "The Wire" and currently starring in Jj Abrams’ popular "Fringe"; and Constance Zimmer, the offbeat sex symbol Dana Gordon on award-winning HBO series "Entourage".
Confirming the announcement, DeVito commented: “I was truly excited about getting behind the camera on this one. It is my »

Production Wraps on Danny DeVito’s Untitled Apocalyptic Thriller, Starring William Fichtner
11 May 2012 1:59 PM, PDT | Collider.com | See recent Collider.com news »
It was announced today that production has wrapped on an apocalyptic thriller directed by Danny DeVito. The currently untitled project stars William Fichtner (Black Hawk Down), Lance Reddick (Fringe), and Constance Zimmerman (Entourage) as three strangers who must band together in an apocalyptic environment. The logline is as follows: The film revolves around a wounded cop, a wounded murderer and a sultry nurse. The three are thrust together, as war rages outside the only possible safe house, an abandoned City Hospital. With no doctors and only a few poor decrepit souls as witnesses, it becomes a rats' maze as the antagonistic trio get separated, and we find out the real reason they are there. Rights to the pic will be shopped at the upcoming Cannes Film Festival. Directing-wise, DeVito has been behind the camera on such varied fare as Matilda, Death to Smoochy, and Throw Momma from the Train. Hit »

Danny DeVito: 'It all worked out for me. Life is good'
14 April 2012 4:08 PM, PDT | The Guardian - TV News | See recent The Guardian - TV News news »
Danny DeVito has had a successful career both in front of the camera and behind it. Now, at 67, he is preparing for his first West End run in The Sunshine Boys – and shows no sign of slowing down
The first thing you notice about the actor, director and producer Danny DeVito is that, as has been exhaustively documented, getting on for a zillion times, he's short (five foot nothing) and round, like a human Teletubby. Albeit a 67-year-old Teletubby, with white wisps of hair around his ears, which he pulls at constantly.
The second thing you notice is how animated and expressive he is. It's not a cartoon version of DeVito's native Italian-American, but it's at the turbo end of vibrant. In the rehearsal space where we meet, he's constantly shrugging, gesturing with his hands, laughing so that his glasses fall off his forehead over his eyes; at one point, »

Billy Crystal's Top On-Screen Performances
23 February 2012 12:36 PM, PST | Huffington Post | See recent Huffington Post news »
Los Angeles -- Billy Crystal is back Sunday as host of the Academy Awards, a responsibility he's held eight times before. By now, the 63-year-old comedian is a pro at this – a reliable, familiar choice who's beloved and admired by his peers.
And he's achieved that status in this business through his many indelible comic roles. Here are five of his best.
_ "When Harry Met Sally ..." (1989): Easily The performance of Crystal's career. Everyone involved here is at the height of his or her powers: Meg Ryan, director Rob Reiner, writer Nora Ephron (who earned an Oscar nomination for her screenplay). It's got a retro romantic comedy vibe with a directness that makes it a modern classic; a Woody Allen rip-off, yes, but with a charm all its own. Crystal is at his snappy, sarcastic best but he has a sweetness, too, as the neurotic Harry, who keeps running into »

The 10 best films of Billy Crystal
23 February 2012 5:45 AM, PST | Den of Geek | See recent Den of Geek news »
As he prepares to host the Academy Awards once more, we chart the movie highlights of Billy Crystal's career...
This Sunday will mark the ninth time that Billy Crystal has hosted the Academy Awards, and if he carries on at this pace his hosting appearances will soon catch up with his film appearances. That comment may be a little unfair, but despite being great screen presence and a talented comedian, Billy Crystal has never been a prolific actor, which is a great shame.
Below are what I consider to be some of his finest appearances in film.
These films are perhaps given a hard time as they can be used as an example of where Robert De Niro became a parody of himself, which is partly true. Still, these are far less egregious examples of this than, say, the Meet The... movies.

Cool Clicks: 'Sports Illustrated' Covergirl Kate Upton Prays For 'The Three Stooges'

We scour the interwebs for the coolest movie news and more so you don't have to ...
"Sometimes clothing can be very distracting. Just Look at those shorts!" Model Kate Upton brings some much-needed sense of religion to the swimming pool in the latest publicity photo for "The Three Stooges," on display at Comingsoon.net.
Panem is actually the Pitcairn Islands, a collection of four land masses comprising 18 square miles in the middle of the southern Pacific Ocean. Well, sort of -- find out how "The Hunger Games" made the least-populated jurisdiction on the planet a financial beneficiary thanks to a series of publicity websites.
Gary Busey was once nominated for Best Actor? The Playlist looks back on the Oscar nominations that time has forgotten, such as the nod to Busey for "The Buddy Holly Story" and to Anne Ramsay for "Throw Momma From the Train."

We've got the highlights and lowlights on the week's new releases, plus an exclusive preview of the Blu-ray debut of Disney's "Lady and the Tramp." Moviefone's Pick of the Week "Project Nim" What's It About? This documentary from the Academy Award-winning filmmaker behind "Man on Wire" chronicles Nim Chimpsky, a newborn chimp that was raised like a human for a controversial study on linguistics. See It Because: If you're looking for a cute movie about cute animals doing cute things like cute babies, this isn't that movie; instead "Nim" is an honest and captivating look at the complex relationship between man and nature, and the too-simple definitions we try to apply to the animal kingdom.
