Picture Perfect: A conversation with cinematographer Stephen Goldblatt

1 May 2013 10:20 AM, PDT | Flickeringmyth | See recent Flickeringmyth news »

Trevor Hogg chats with Academy Award nominated cinematographer Stephen Goldblatt about being a teenage photojournalist, working with director Mike Nichols, the Oscars and the current state of filmmaking...

My sister is a painter and architect, my father was a doctor but he always wanted to be a musician, and my mother was interested in painting. I was surrounded by art in my childhood,” states Stephen Goldblatt who was born in Johannesburg, South Africa and moved with his family to the United Kingdom at the age of seven; four years later he became obsessed with photography and later as a teenager Goldblatt was hired to work for London Life Magazine owned by the Sunday Times.  “I was working as a photographer when I was 18.  The thing about old style film photojournalism was that you were telling a story in still pictures and not being digital, you tended to try to do »

Stanley Tucci: filming with CGI and 3D is 'annoying' and 'humiliating'

12 March 2013 12:47 AM, PDT | The Guardian - Film News | See recent The Guardian - Film News news »

The Oscar-nominated actor has admitted he does not enjoy working on CGI and 3D films, despite starring in the new 3D movie Jack the Giant Slayer

Age: 52

Appearance: Shiny

I know him. Isn't he that guy from that thing? Yes. He's Stanley Tucci.

Stanley Whocci? You know, the actor. Bald, charming, does a good job in a supporting role in 43% of American movies.

You're exaggerating for comic effect, right? Of course I am. The true percentage has not yet been calculated. So far he has done Prizzi's Honor, Road to Perdition, Lucky Number Slevin, The Lovely Bones, The Devil Wears Prada, Captain America, Beethoven, The Hunger Games, The Terminal, Burlesque, It Could Happen to You, Julie and Julia, Space Chimps, Robots, The Pelican Brief, Space Chimps 2 …

Safe House director for John Grisham's The Racketeer

12 February 2013 10:53 PM, PST | Den of Geek | See recent Den of Geek news »

News Simon Brew Feb 13, 2013

Daniel Espinosa looks set to direct the movie version of John Grisham's thriller, The Racketeer...

Movies based on John Grisham books used to be a near annual occurence in the 1990s. We had good ones (The Client, A Time To Kill), we had bad ones (The Pelican Brief, The Chamber), and we had ones that were fun, but seemed to go on forever (The Firm). And for a while, of course, it seemed as though director Joel Schumacher would keep making them alternately with his Batman projects.

When Batman & Robin bombed though, Schumacher abandoned his plan to make The Runaway Jury (which subsequently turned up in 2003, with Gary Fleder directing), and Grisham seemingly became less interested in selling the movie rights to his bestselling thrillers. In fact, the last film based on a Grisham book was 2004's Christmas With The Kranks, which was the movie take on Skipping Christmas. »

Daniel Espinosa to Direct Adaptation of John Grisham's 'Racketeer'

12 February 2013 3:51 PM, PST | firstshowing.net | See recent FirstShowing.net news »

In the mid-90s, it seemed only a few months would pass until another film adaptation of a John Grisham novel popped up at a multiplex. The Firm, The Pelican Brief, The Client, A Time to Kill, The Chamber, and The Rainmaker all came out between 1993-1997, adding to Grisham's legacy as one of America's most popular thriller writers. The most recent film adaptations of his work, Runaway Jury and Christmas with the Kranks, weren't big successes, but THR reports that a film version of Grisham's newest novel, The Racketeer, will hit the big screen under the direction of Safe House helmer Daniel Espinosa. Read on! Here's the official synopsis of The Racketeer from Amazon: Given the importance of what they do, and the controversies that often surround them, and the violent people they sometimes confront, it is remarkable that in the history of this country only four active federal judges have been murdered. »

Double Dare Meets Billy On The Street With The Julia Roberts Obstacle Course

22 January 2013 10:26 AM, PST | TheFabLife - Movies | See recent TheFabLife - Movies news »

There is only one way to sum up superstar Julia Roberts’ glamourous life and career, and that apparently is an Obstacle Course. Leave it to Billy on the Street to create a street-side (Brooklyn!) Double Dare-meets-Access Hollywood course where each obstacle represents a part of Julia’s existence? Remember The Pelican Brief? Dig through a crude barrel of oil to find a pelican. Eat, Pray, Love? Slide down into a “bowl” of spaghetti and meatballs. Luckily, Rachel Dratch owed Billy a favor (or someone from her “team” did) so she gets to “drink the juice” and crawl through a contaminated lake (ie Erin Brockovich).

Billy, I think you’ve just found your reoccurring segment.
