New Party Game! In apropos of nothing, we’ve spent the last two days coming up with Celebrities Whose Names Sound Like Game Of Thrones Characters – meaning, actors, musicians, athletes, and other famous people whose real-life names contain some combination of fantasy-ness, pseudo-ethnicity, and juuust-slightly-offitude worthy of a bonafide Westeros inhabitant.

Peter Weir Adds ‘The Keep’ To His Schedule
22 May 2012 2:00 AM, PDT | The Hollywood News | See recent The Hollywood News news »
Truman Show and Dead Poets Society director Peter Weir is taking something of a surprising turn with his next film The Keep. Based on Jennifer Egan’s novel of the same name the film is the subject of the press release/synopsis below:
Two cousins, irreversibly damaged by a childhood prank, reunite twenty years later to renovate a medieval castle in Eastern Europe. In an environment of extreme paranoia, cut off from the outside world, the men reenact the signal event of their youth, with even more catastrophic results. And as the full horror of their predicament unfolds, a prisoner, in jail for an unnamed crime, recounts an unforgettable story that seamlessly brings the crimes of the past and present into piercing relation.
Sounds like heavy stuff but with Weir in command you can guarantee it will be well worth a look. With shooting beginning next spring it will be »

'House' series finale recap: 'Everybody Dies'...did House?
21 May 2012 7:09 PM, PDT | EW.com - PopWatch | See recent EW.com - PopWatch news »
The big question going into tonight’s series finale of House was whether or not Dr. Gregory House would die.
Between the rumored returns (Kal Penn, Amber Tamblyn, etc.) and the scary-sounding title of the last episode, spoiler-loving folk knew something afoot. Would House have a pre-death trip through his history? Would everyone meet up for a funeral? Would all of House’s friends gather in a big intervention? At several points during the show’s last episode, I thought I had it all figured out, but true to House form, it had me guessing until the very end. Ultimately, »

Peter Weir Set to Direct Gothic Thriller The Keep
21 May 2012 2:00 PM, PDT | GeekTyrant | See recent GeekTyrant news »
Peter Weir, the director of films such as Master and Commander: The Far Side of the World, The Truman Show and Dead Poets Society is set to direct a contemporary gothic thriller called The Keep, which is based on the 2006 novel written by Jennifer Egan. The story is set in a mysterious medieval castle somewhere in Central Europe, and it follows "two estranged American cousins who reunite to set up an alternative resort, stirring childhood traumas and phobias in a haunted castle."
Weir is also writing the screenplay for the movie which has a budget of around $30 million dollars. Weir has made some great films in his career and I think this will be a cool project for him to work on.
Here's a description of the book:

Peter Weir to Direct Adaptation of Contemporary Gothic Thriller The Keep
20 May 2012 8:33 PM, PDT | Collider.com | See recent Collider.com news »
Peter Weir (Dead Poets Society, The Truman Show, The Way Back) is certainly someone who takes the time to choose which picture he'll direct next, but it looks like he's settled on The Keep. The film is an adaptation of the 2006 bestselling Jennifer Egan novel by the same name. The contemporary Gothic tale centers on two American cousins who share a troubling, yet formative, memory from their past and reunite to restore a medieval castle in central Europe as an alternative resort. While there, the haunted castle serves as a catalyst for them to revisit their childhood traumas and long-held fears. The Keep will shoot next spring in Europe with post set to be completed in Australia - or vice versa, depending on the final arrangement of the deal. Weir will direct from his own screenplay and has described the picture as, "Basically, ... a studio-shoot movie." Hit the jump for more. »

Peter Weir Will Direct Gothic Thriller ‘The Keep’
20 May 2012 12:16 PM, PDT | The Film Stage | See recent The Film Stage news »
Although his last effort, 2010′s The Way Back, was perhaps one of his lesser accomplishments, we’re always anticipating the next project from Peter Weir. Considering the scope of that film, which largely failed at the box office, we thought it may be some time before we see another feature from the man who gave us Master and Commander: The Far Side of the World, The Truman Show and Dead Poets Society. Thankfully, such is not the case as Variety has news on his next project.
Weir has announced his upcoming film, an adaptation of Jennifer Egan‘s novel, which is described as a “contemporary gothic thriller.” Unrelated to Michael Mann‘s film of the same name, this film follows two cousin who set out to renovate a European medieval castle. Set along this eerie backdrop, supernatural happenings begin to unfold in the script Weir will adapt himself. It’ll »

'House' series finale: Get a look at House's last case
18 May 2012 5:40 PM, PDT | Zap2It - From Inside the Box | See recent Zap2It - From Inside the Box news »
We're happy to report that the series finale of "House" does not take place in jail, at least not entirely.
That's not exactly a spoiler, although after the end of the May 14 episode it's still in doubt whether House (Hugh Laurie) will have to report back to jail if his parole is revoked. In the clips below, though, he's doing his best to stall and get whatever time he can with Wilson (Robert Sean Leonard).
Wilson isn't actually in any of the clips, but there's a reference to Leonard's past in the first one, when House asks, "Haven't you ever seen 'Dead Poets Society'?" The reason behind his seemingly newfound altruism is explained in the second scene, and in the third, you meet the patient of the week, played by James LeGros, who has become a go-to guest star of the spring (see also "Girls" and the "Grey's Anatomy »

Here's 8 Great Teacher/Student Films, In Honor of 'Monsieur Lazhar'
12 April 2012 8:20 AM, PDT | Indiewire | See recent Indiewire news »
For better or worse, the teacher/classroom genre is a Hollywood staple. From "Dangerous Minds" and "Freedom Writers" to "Mr. Holland's Opus" and "Dead Poets Society," these films follow a pretty standard plot formula time and time again (and often reap considerable box office and Oscar nominations anyway). But this weekend, Quebecois import "Monsieur Lazhar" -- fresh off an Oscar nomination -- transcends the genre with a moving, realistic take on student-teacher relations. Directed by Philippe Falardeau, the film follows Bachir Lazhar (Mohamed Fellag), an Algerian immigrant who is hired to replace a teacher at a Montreal elementary school who kills herself. Honest and sincere in a manner rare to its Hollywood counterparts, "Lazhar" is a powerful little film that effectively takes on a multitude of issues permeating today's society. In honor of "Lazhar," Indiewire thought we'd offer 8 »

Review: 'Monsieur Lazhar' A Meek & Restrained Crowd Pleaser
11 April 2012 10:03 AM, PDT | The Playlist | See recent The Playlist news »
When "A Separation" won the Academy Award for best foreign language film last month, I was thrilled -- Asghar Farhadi's splendid domestic drama is one of the best things I've seen in the past few years. But it also came as a genuine surprise, because I was convinced the Canadian film "Monsieur Lazhar" was going to win. Gentle and understated, Philippe Falardeau's film is a classy crowd-pleaser, the kind of mild effort that makes people shake their heads imagining what awfulness would be done to it in an American remake. It is also nothing to write home about, though it features a strong turn from Mohamed Saïd Fellag, who plays the title character, and some very good child performances.
"Monsieur Lazhar" is adapted from a play by Évelyne de la Chenelière about an Algerian immigrant, Bachir Lazhar, who's hurriedly hired at an elementary school to take the place of Martine, »

Novel Thoughts: A conversation with author Serena Formica
28 March 2012 8:24 PM, PDT | Flickeringmyth | See recent Flickeringmyth news »
Trevor Hogg chats with author Serena Formica about her debut book, Peter Weir: A Creative Journey From Australia To Hollywood...
“I am originally from Italy [Rome], where I attended a BA and Ma in Media Studies at the Università Pontificia Salesiana, with a specialization in television production,” states Italian academic Serena Formica. “The Master's covered a variety of subjects, including cinema. I have always been fascinated by the cinema; and I had a particular interest for Classic Hollywood cinema and Italian Neorealism. When the opportunity came to researching film at an academic level, I decided to investigate my favourite director at the time, Alfred Hitchcock. My approach to study Hitchcock was auter-orientated, and I carried out a textual analysis of his most suspenseful films. Researching Hitchcock shifted my interest from television production to film studies, and I was encouraged by my Master's supervisor, Dr. Tadeusz Lewicki, to do a PhD in Film Studies. »
