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 »

I'm losing patience with today's scientists. The world has changed so rapidly in my lifetime but there doesn't seem to be any progress with teleportation. I don't know about you but I need to be in several places quite often and in quick succewssion. Who has time for planes, trains or automobiles? Look at how much there is to experience near you at unreasonable distances from each other.
War of the Roses (1989)
Toronto
Today! Kathleen Turner will be honored today with a mini free film festival at the Carlton Cinema: Peggy Sue Got Married and Romancing the Stone this afternoon. The War of the Roses and Body Heat this evening. If you're near there, why miss it? I'd totally hit The War of the Roses because and Body Heat because I haven't seen it in ages (the former) and have never seen it on the big screen (the latter). I »

Kathleen Turner Conversation in Toronto
27 April 2012 12:29 AM, PDT | Alt Film Guide | See recent Alt Film Guide news »
Kathleen Turner Kathleen Turner, perhaps best remembered for seducing William Hurt in Lawrence Kasdan’s Body Heat and for romping about with Michael Douglas in Robert Zemeckis‘ Romancing the Stone, will be present on May 7 at the Toronto International Film Festival’s Bell Lightbox to discuss her career in films and on stage. Turner will be making her Toronto stage debut in Matthew Lombardo’s High at the Royal Alexandra Theatre from May 8–13. Turner, 58 next June, has appeared in nearly 30 features. In addition to the aforementioned two titles, her credits include Ken Russell’s Crimes of Passion, as a Belle de Jour-like sex worker; John Huston’s Oscar-nominated Prizzi’s Honor, as Jack Nicholson’s partner in crime; the Lewis Teague-directed Romancing the Stone sequel The Jewel of the Nile; Francis Ford Coppola’s Peggy Sue Got Married, which earned her a Best Actress Oscar nomination; and Danny DeVito »

10 Of Saul Bass' Greatest Title Sequences
25 April 2012 9:22 AM, PDT | The Playlist | See recent The Playlist news »
The art of movie titles is becoming an increasingly lost one: aside from a few films (the Bond movies) and directors (Steven Spielberg, David Fincher and Jason Reitman always pay particular attention to their credit sequences), it feels like relatively little care is taken over such things, with many movies dumping them altogether. And it's hard not to put that down to the fact that we don't have guys like Saul Bass around anymore.
Bass was a graphic designer from the Bronx who went out West in the 1940s and started working on film ads. After being noticed by Otto Preminger, who would become his collaborator for the next twenty years starting with "Carmen Jones" in 1954, Bass went on to design some of cinema's most iconic title sequences and posters for world-class filmmakers like Stanley Kubrick, Alfred Hitchcock and Martin Scorsese, often in an instantly recognizable style that remains influential »

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, »

'Dr. Seuss's The Lorax': Danny DeVito Speaks For the Trees (Video)
21 February 2012 1:02 PM, PST | Moviefone | See recent Moviefone news »
This special behind-the-scenes look at "Dr. Seuss' The Lorax" proves that Danny DeVito can do no wrong. Universal Studios' upcoming animated adaptation of the beloved environmental fable features Mr. Rhea Perlman as the voice of the orange-furred Lorax. In this clip, DeVito takes us into the recording studio to show how he'll bring the beloved character to life on the big-screen. Then it gets even better, when he partakes in an adorable lesson about protecting our trees with a group of eager kids. Try as they might to be professional, the kids just can't hide their giddiness at being in the same room with the voice of the Lorax. (Or perhaps they are big admirers of "The War of the Roses.") Our only complaint is that this video is a mere three minutes long; we would happily watch DeVito as host of a weekly educational program. "Dr. Seuss' The Lorax »

Hugo, I Went
17 February 2012 10:51 AM, PST | Moviefone | See recent Moviefone news »
I have been trying to figure out how a movie reportedly costing close to two hundred million dollars has failed to find a paying audience. The reviews have been either glowing or certainly respectful. The enormously talented Martin Scorsese directed the movie based upon a successful children's book by Brian Selznick, The Invention of Hugo Cabret, which deals with the adventures of a 12-year-old boy who literally lives within the cavernous confines of a massive Parisian train station in 1931, whose principal chore is to keep the numerous clocks in the station in working order after the death of his drunken uncle, who had been charged with that operation. A host of actors are on board, including the young boy played by Asa Butterfield, an old man played by the brilliant Ben Kingsley, a young girl played by Chloe Moretz, and a station policeman played by the actor and satirist, Sacha Baron Cohen. »

The Iron Lady is an interesting example of the limits of movie biography and the manner in which contemporary political and social trends leak into motion picture storytelling. Starring the incomparable Meryl Streep, whose unique talent allows her to create and mimic the persona of the most challenging of female characters plucked from real life or fiction, The Iron Lady purports to tell the intimate story of Margaret Thatcher, one of the most powerful British prime ministers of recent vintage. The movie, written by Abi Morgan and directed by Phyllida Lloyd, is a valiant attempt to go beyond the mask of Mrs. Thatcher's public image and portray the real person that lurks inside what we cynics often refer to as the human contrivance. Mrs. Thatcher, as we know from recent history, was a strong, articulate and stubborn woman who climbed the fortress of the male dominated British political system and »

BBC1 to screen War of the Roses epic

BBC puts emphasis on drama as it announces new series for year ahead
Having tackled the Tudors, the BBC is taking on the Yorks and the Lancasters in what promises to be an epic BBC1 drama about the War of the Roses.
In a twist on the male-dominated lens through which history is frequently viewed, the epic serial about one of the bloodiest periods in English history will be told from the point of view of powerful women who "shaped their men and who shaped history in the process".
They include queens, mothers, lovers and "witches" and the drama reminds viewers that at the time women could still be burned at the stake for sorcery.
The War of the Roses is an adaptation of Philippa Gregory's best-selling series of books The Cousin's War and is part of a renewed focus on BBC1 drama.
The BBC said that it is »
