Zac Efron Races Towards The Autobahn
20 May 2013 12:53 PM, PDT | The Hollywood News | See recent The Hollywood News news »
Zac Efron certainly has come a long way since his role as a teeny bopper heartthrob in the High School Musical series. Currently filming Townies alongside Seth Rogen and Rose Byrne today he announced his latest project.
Coasting into gear alongside Amber Heard, Efron will star in Autobahn; getting into trouble as an American backpacker who gets more than he bargained for in a drugs deal gone awry. He and girlfriend Heard must escape the Turkish Gang, presumably at high speeds in fast cars along German motorways.
Directed by Eran Creevy, who is no stranger to the crime genre with a back catalogue of Shifty and Welcome To The Punch, filming is expected to begin later this year with a release set for 2014.
Before Autobahn’s release viewers can catch Zac making the most of bachelor life in Tom Gormican’s Are We Officially Dating? and as the first Doctor »

David O. Russell Bringing Us Another JFK Conspiracy Thriller With DiCaprio & DeNiro
17 May 2013 11:27 AM, PDT | The Hollywood News | See recent The Hollywood News news »
The phase “Like Buses” is an often overused expression, certainly here in the UK. However, it must definitely apply in this case as The Fighter and Silver Linings Playbook director David O. Russell is the latest filmmaker lining up conspiracy thriller centred on the infamous assassination of John F. Kennedy. I’m a sucker for the fascinating subject, with Oliver Stone’s JFK right up in my own top 5 of all time.
David Mamet has recently cast Oscar-winner Cate Blanchett in modern-set, cloak and dagger thriller Blackbird, in which a woman, following her fathers death, discovers he may have been involved in the cover-up. There is also debut writer/director Peter Landesman’s Parkland, the recently completed all-star thriller (which includes James Badge Dale, Zac Efron, Paul Giamatti and Billy Bob Thornton) that looks at the chaotic aftermath of the tragic event.
Russell’s film will be based on the the non-fiction book, »

Cate Blanchett To Lead David Mamet's JFK Assassination Thriller
15 May 2013 1:04 PM, PDT | cinemablend.com | See recent Cinema Blend news »
The assassination of U.S. president John F. Kennedy was a horrific event that forever scarred the American psyche. Perhaps this is why this brutal and public murder finds its way into film and television again and again, from the gritty superhero drama Watchmen, to the Clint Eastwood action movie In the Line of Fire, and Oliver Stone's Academy Award-winning historical drama JFK. Even Tom Hanks is developing a drama about this defining moment for our nation. But no one has approached this topic as David Mamet plans to. Variety reports Mamet has penned and will direct a thriller that offers a new and likely mind-boggling possibility for the hows and maybe whys of Kennedy's murder. Far from historical drama, this feature is being described as a Hitchcockian nailbiter. And the casting of Academy Award-winner Cate Blanchett in the lead role suggests this screenplay is something sensational. Of course, »
David Mamet will direct Cate Blanchett in the JFK conspiracy thriller Blackbird
15 May 2013 10:34 AM, PDT | JoBlo.com | See recent JoBlo news »
When you think of Kennedy conspiracy theories and movie directors, you usually think of Oliver Stone. But, another talented filmmaker is helming a JFK project that will attempt to put a new spin on the decades old assassination. David Mamet will direct Blackbird and has nabbed Cate Blanchett to star. Variety reports that Blackbird will be produced by Sbs Productions, the French based group behind Roman Polanski's Carnage, David Cronenberg's upcoming Maps To The Stars, and Brian De Palma's »

Tom Welling Joins Ivan Reitman's Football Movie Draft Day
13 May 2013 4:50 PM, PDT | GeekTyrant | See recent GeekTyrant news »
Smallville star Tom Welling has joined the cast of Ivan Reitman's upcoming football movie Draft Day. Welling will star alongside Kevin Costner, Jennifer Garner, and Denis Leary.
According to the report, Welling will play a character named Brian Drew, "a veteran quarterback in the crossroads of his career, in the story about a Cleveland Browns Gm (Costner) who attempts to trade up for the first pick in the NFL Draft and save football in the city."
This is the second movie role that Welling has had since Smallville ended. He has a supporting role in a JFK film called Parkland, which just started shooting. I'm surprised Welling hasn't done more film. Draft Day should be a solid project for him. Reitman has made some amazing movies in his career, and this sounds like it could be a good one. »

Karlovy Vary Film Festival Appoints Agnieszka Holland as Jury President, Honors Oliver Stone
23 April 2013 11:39 AM, PDT | Thompson on Hollywood | See recent Thompson on Hollywood news »
The 48th Annual Karlovy Vary International Film Festival in Czech Republic announced today that American auteur Oliver Stone will be honored with the Crystal Globe Award for outstanding artistic contributions to world cinema. While Stone's last film was the less-than-outstanding "Savages" in 2012, the writer-director has won three Oscars and helmed many memorable classic films, from "Salvador," "Born on the Fourth of July," and "Platoon" to "Nixon," "JFK" and "Wall Street." In addition, thrice-Oscar nominated Polish director Agnieszka Holland (holocaust drama "In Darkness") will serve as president of the jury. Holland and her jury will give out Crystal Globe Awards for Best Feature, Actor, Actress, Director and a Special Jury Prize. The festival runs June 28 to July 6, and the lineup will be announced in June. »

CinemaCon: Oliver Stone Compares Horror Filmmakers to CIA Torturers
17 April 2013 4:17 PM, PDT | The Wrap | See recent The Wrap news »
Oliver Stone apparently has a different definition of horror than anyone else you know. The "JFK" director equated horror filmmakers to CIA torturers during a CinemaCon panel on Wednesday in Las Vegas, explaining that he could no longer watch or make any movies in the genre. Stone's early directorial career began with horror films "Seizure" and "The Hand," the latter of which Guillermo Del Toro fervently praised during the panel. But neither of them was financially successful. "I realized at that point that I wasn't a horror director," Stone told a crowd of »

The director's cut: Oliver Stone's move from silver screen to small screen
17 April 2013 8:36 AM, PDT | The Guardian - TV News | See recent The Guardian - TV News news »
The Nixon director's new American history series sees him follow in the footsteps of Alfred Hitchcock, David Lynch and Steven Spielberg
The title of Oliver Stone's Untold History of the United States, the 10-part documentary series that starts its UK run this Friday (Sky Atlantic, 9pm), is carefully calculated to maximise on the celebrity of the film director, possibly surprising viewers at finding such a big-screen name in the small-screen listings.
Stone's attempt to correct what he sees as Us-centric teaching of 20th-century history in American schools is full of arresting connections – sauerkraut was renamed liberty cabbage in the Us during the first world war and french fries became freedom fries during the "war on terror" – and the British screening of his series is subject to its own intriguing connection: this week's announcement that the American drama Bates Motel has been bought for broadcast in the UK by the Universal Channel. »

‘Inquest’, Spec That Takes ‘JFK’ Look At Princess Diana Tragedy, Bought By Wayfare Entertainment
16 April 2013 12:15 PM, PDT | Deadline New York | See recent Deadline New York news »
Exclusive: Wayfare Entertainment has pre-emptively purchased Inquest, a spec by Sam Cohen. It’s sure to raise a ruckus over its premise, that the death of Princess Diana might have been premeditated. Based on true events, the political thriller is about a London investigator who’s hired to discover whether her death was a tragic accident or something more. When he begins to uncover a conspiracy, the gumshoe’s own safety is compromised. This possible version of events feeds into a theory that Princess Diana’s death was similar to whether Lee Harvey Oswald had acted alone or was part of a larger conspiracy in the murder of President John F. Kennedy, which was covered in film with Oliver Stone’s JFK. This whole sale was a bit shrouded in intrigue. Sam Cohen isn’t the writer’s name. I’m told it’s Josh Simon, a former studio exec »

Oliver Stone: 'America always wins'
15 April 2013 4:05 PM, PDT | The Guardian - TV News | See recent The Guardian - TV News news »
Oliver Stone got so sick of always reading the sanitised version of Us history that he decided to write his own. He talks about the real reason America dropped the atom bomb, how Kennedy is a hero and why he can't stand Hillary Clinton
Oliver Stone has just agreed to take part in the Us version of Jamie's Dream School, the TV show that explored the interesting notion that famous people might educate kids better than teachers. "It was much criticised in Britain but I still think it's a good idea," says Stone over coffee and bagels in a Soho hotel. He'll be the American equivalent of Jamie's history teacher David Starkey. Only, you'd suspect, more radical.
Stone's TV history class might well be named Us Heresies 101. "We're going to take these texts from regular history and compare them to what we think happened." He will teach that the bombing »

The many underappreciated film roles of James Woods
25 March 2013 6:39 AM, PDT | Den of Geek | See recent Den of Geek news »
Odd List Simon Brew 26 Mar 2013 - 06:44
A superb character actor James Woods has turned in some remarkable performances. Here are a few of his underappreciated roles...
If you're looking for an actor who's far more interested in being a character than a hero, then surely James Woods is your man. He's built up a body of work over several decades that has rightly brought him a degree of acclaim - Videodrome, the brilliant Cop, Ghosts Of Mississippi, Contact, Salvador, and his growing collection of excellent TV roles - but in the 80s and 90s, he popped up in lots of films that are rarely talked about now.
There are so many seemingly lost great James Woods roles, that it seemed long overdue we try and right that particular wrong. So here's a collection of perhaps the lower profile, yet brilliant, performances from his career. And this is just a few of them. »

Tsr Exclusive: ‘Olympus Has Fallen’ Interview with Director Antoine Fuqua
20 March 2013 6:00 AM, PDT | The Scorecard Review | See recent Scorecard Review news »
Olympus Has Fallen is a old-fashioned action movie that hearkens back to one of the grandest plot devices in the genre — the mission of saving the President of the United States. In this film, which riffs on the Die Hard setup better than A Good Day to Die Hard did, the White House is taken over by terrorists, Washington D.C. is a war zone, and the President is a hostage in his own bunker.
Playing the hero is Gerard Butler, an ex-secret service man who becomes the country’s last hope in saving the president’s (Aaron Eckhart) life, and also preventing nuclear devastation. Directed by Antoine Fuqua, the film also stars Morgan Freeman, Angela Bassett, Melissa Leo, Dylan McDermott, Rick Yune, and Ashley Judd.
While he is still best known for directing Training Day in 2001, Fuqua previously helmed Brooklyn’s Finest (2009), Shooter (2007), King Arthur (2004), Bait (2000), The Replacement Killers (1998), and more. »

Never mind Iran and Argo, the Brits should sue Hollywood | Alex von Tunzelmann
13 March 2013 9:11 AM, PDT | The Guardian - Film News | See recent The Guardian - Film News news »
Tehran's Hoax of Hollywood conference sets a precedent that other countries could follow. Let's start with Braveheart
Following the Iranian Ministry of Culture and Islamic Guidance's Hoax of Hollywood conference in Tehran this week, it has been reported that Iran may "sue Hollywood" over what it considers to be unrealistic portrayals of the country in several films. The most recent offender is Ben Affleck's Argo, based on the Iran hostage crisis of 1979-1981 and winner of this year's best picture Oscar. Others named include 300, The Wrestler and Not Without My Daughter.
The representation of Iran in Argo is certainly questionable but, as when the Kazakhstan foreign ministry threatened to sue over Borat, the prospect of a lawsuit doesn't seem entirely realistic. Do nations or governments have a right to accurate representation in fiction? In what jurisdiction could such a case be brought? Wouldn't there be some sort of statute of limitation on suing over, »

Top 10 Best Gary Oldman Movies
12 March 2013 7:11 AM, PDT | Reelzchannel.com | See recent ReelzChannel news »
"I take no pleasure in taking a life if it's from a person who doesn't care about it."
Though we may never get to see Gary Oldman play Commissioner Gordon again now that Christopher Nolan’s Batman trilogy has ended — that is, unless the recent rumor that Warner Bros. is planning to use the Justice League movie as "a vehicle for Christian Bale to reprise his role as Batman" is true, in which case a cameo by Gotham’s top cop wouldn’t be out of the question — we will get to see him play a former police commissioner in Dawn of the Planet of the Apes, the sequel to Rise of the Planet of the Apes. Add his stint as Sirius Black in the Harry Potter movies and his recently completed work as Norton in MGM's Robocop remake and that makes four major tentpole franchises for Oldman.
