Superman Reboot Grossed $3 Million More Than Originally Estimated - Now No.2 Non-Sequel in June (Sort of)
17 June 2013 7:39 PM, PDT | Alt Film Guide | See recent Alt Film Guide news »
Man of Steel weekend box office: Above estimates, but real June record remains beyond the reach of Superman 2013 reboot (image: Henry Cavill as Superman in Man of Steel) Somewhat surprisingly — it’s usually the other way around — Warner Bros.’ Man of Steel grossed more than $3 million above studio estimates released on Sunday, June 16, 2013. Directed by Zack Snyder (300, Sucker Punch), and starring Henry Cavill (The Tudors, possibly the upcoming The Man from U.N.C.L.E.), the 2013 Superman reboot scored $116.61 million from 4,207 North American locations according to weekend box-office actuals found at Box Office Mojo. Once Thursday evening figures are added, the $225 million-budgeted Man of Steel‘s domestic cume reached $128.68 million by Sunday evening. Now, Man of Steel‘s adjusted $116.61 million doesn’t change the June Box-Office Record Chart in any way. The Superman reboot remains ahead of the former official June champ, the Tom Hanks-, Tim Allen-voiced Toy Story 3‘s »

FBI Digging For Body Inside Home Of Late 'Goodfellas' Mobster
17 June 2013 12:56 PM, PDT | Huffington Post | See recent Huffington Post news »
By Murray Weiss and Ben Fractenberg
Queens — The FBI began digging for a body Monday in the former Queens home of notorious mob power James “Jimmy The Gent” Burke, who was famously portrayed by Robert De Niro in the movie "Goodfellas," sources told DNAinfo New York.
FBI Evidence Collection specialists and agents from the Organized Crime Division descended into the basement of Burke’s family home at 81-48 102 Rd. in South Ozone Park around 8 a.m. armed with jackhammers and sledge hammers.
Sources said the feds recently obtained information from a new cooperating informant linked to the Gambino and Bonanno crime families who told them he believed a hood who disappeared decades ago was buried in Burke’s basement or backyard.
The sources say the dig is not related the fabled 1978 Lufthansa Heist, where Burke, portrayed as Jimmy Conway by De Niro in "Goodfellas," and his fellow wiseguys pulled off an $8 million robbery at JFK, »
Kevin Costner
14 June 2013 9:21 AM, PDT | The Guardian - Film News | See recent The Guardian - Film News news »
Our pick of the Man of Steel star's greatest film performances – but what would you include?
Kevin Costner, currently starring in Man of Steel, is not quite the huge star he once was. For much of the 90s he was seemingly everywhere, appearing in a string of well-received blockbusters, over-blown sci-fi epics and big-hitting date movies. However, while he's never really gone away, in the years since The Postman the roles, and films, have got smaller.
For fans of his best work in the 90s, it's great to see him back in a big role in one of this summer's biggest movies – and it gives us the perfect opportunity to pick out some of our favourite Costner moments, as suggested on Twitter and Facebook by readers including @justmycup0ftea, @bobbyblowdart, @aresquare
But what what else ought to be on the list? Let us know in the comment thread below.

Rob Lowe and Ginnifer Goodwin will star in 'Killing Kennedy'
28 May 2013 11:39 AM, PDT | Zap2It - From Inside the Box | See recent Zap2It - From Inside the Box news »
National Geographic has scored a pretty good casting coup for its upcoming original movie "Killing Kennedy": Rob Lowe and Ginnifer Goodwin will star as John and Jacqueline Kennedy.
The film has also signed Michelle Trachtenberg, late of "Gossip Girl," to play Marina Oswald, Lee Harvey Oswald's wife.
"Killing Kennedy" is based on the best-selling book by Bill O'Reilly and Martin Dugard that chronicles the events leading up to JFK's assassination on Nov. 22, 1963. It focuses on Kennedy and Lee Harvey Oswald (who has yet to be cast) and key events in their lives that led them both to Dallas that day.
Kelly Masterson ("Before the Devil Knows You're Dead") is writing the script for the movie, which Nelson McCormick ("Touch," "Southland") will direct.
Lowe ("Parks and Recreation," "Behind the Candelabra") joins a long list of actors who have played John F. Kennedy over the years, among them Greg Kinnear »

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

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. »

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'

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 »
