Liam Neeson and Director Joe Carnahan Take Us Behind the Scenes of The Grey in New Featurette
29 December 2011 7:52 AM, PST | Reelzchannel.com | See recent ReelzChannel news »
While most moviegoers living in the Northern United States are seeing (snow) white right about now, Open Road Films is hoping they'll see grey, as in The Grey, director Joe Carnahan's (The A-Team) new action thriller opening next month. Open Road debuted both a new trailer and an extended TV spot for the movie earlier this month, and now a behind-the-scenes featurette has been released online.
Titled "Into the Fray," the featurette primarily focuses on the star of the movie, Academy Award-nominated actor Liam Neeson (Schindler's List), and how he "went whole hog" for the role of an "oil-rig roughneck" who is forced to fend off the elements and ravenous wolves after his plane crashes in the Alaskan wilderness. Though Neeson admits in the featurette that he wasn't sure if he could "physically" handle the role — which required him to shoot on location in British Columbia, Canada, during the »

Dread Central's Best and Worst of 2011
27 December 2011 7:06 PM, PST | DreadCentral.com | See recent Dread Central news »
Well, folks, 2011 is officially in the can, and surprisingly it wasn't such a horrendous year. It was definitely better than 2010, which was a huge step up from the putrid 2009. We laughed, we applauded, we were left dumbstruck, and of course we were infuriated. Read on for our cheers and jeers!
Now, with a fresh movie-watching start before us, we're taking our usual yearly look back at the good, the bad, the Wtf, and everything in between.
And don't be lazy by just reading along! Get off of your asses and give us your lists in the comments section below. We wanna hear from you if only to compare notes. Lots and lots of notes.
Speaking of notes, the most common complaint we've heard over the years is that we don't have one definitive list representing Dread Central as a whole so for 2011 we dropped everyone's choices in the blender, hit puree, »

Real Steel Dukes It Out on Blu-ray and DVD
27 December 2011 2:37 PM, PST | CineMovie | See recent CineMovie news »
The best robot movie of 2011 is heading to Blu-ray™, DVD, Digital and On-Demand January 24, 2012. No, we're not talking about the third cookie-cutter Transformers movie this year, but the Hugh Jackman starrer Real Steel. The crowd-pleasing action film arrives with many bonus features on a Blu-ray combo pack that takes you ringside with Director Shawn Levy for a one-two punch with the making of the film and behind the scenes with the bots.
Directed by Shawn Levy (Night At the Museum franchise, Date Night, What Happens in Vegas) and produced by Steven Spielberg (Saving Private Ryan, Schindler's List), Real Steel takes place in the not-so-distant future where boxing has gone high-tech and 2000-pound, 8-foot-tall steel robots have taken over the ring.

'The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo': Zaillian Streamlines, Improves on Detective Duo in Larsson's Neo-Noir
27 December 2011 12:49 PM, PST | Thompson on Hollywood | See recent Thompson on Hollywood news »
Hollywood studio execs consider Steve Zaillian to be their number one literary adapter. He won the Oscar for "Schindler's List," after all, and could wind up with an Oscar nomination for "Moneyball" as well this year, which he serially co-wrote with another alpha Oscar-winner, Aaron Sorkin (the two have agreed only to talk about the film together). Zaillian's a ruthless cutter who knows that throwing as much away as possible leaves you with the core of a two-hour movie. In the case of the first installment of the Millennium Trilogy, David Fincher's "The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo," it was two hours and 32 minutes (Toh review here). "With »
Steve Zaillian Talks 'Dragon Tattoo,' 'Moneyball' & The Difficulties Of Getting Adult Dramas Made In Hollywood
27 December 2011 6:45 AM, PST | The Playlist | See recent The Playlist news »
Last week, David Fincher's "Girl With the Dragon Tattoo" opened, and with it returns something that's been missing from the big cineplexes for a while: a big, expensive movie that is made for adults. It doesn't dumb anything down and it wears its R-rating like a badge of pride and not a scarlet letter. We got to talk to screenwriter Steve Zaillian, who as a screenwriter, director and producer, has somehow managed to land many of the grade-a assignments that don't involve robots that transform into cars and then transform into another type of car. After winning an Oscar for "Schindler's List," he has worked almost exclusively on the type of movies your parents claim they don't make anymore, including "Searching for Bobby Fischer," "Gangs of New York," "Hannibal" and "A Civil Action." This year he double-dipped with two potential Oscar contenders in "Moneyball" and 'Dragon Tattoo.' »
Screenwriter Steven Zaillian Talks The Girl With The Dragon Tattoo, Sequels, and How He Might Direct the Remake of Timecrimes
26 December 2011 11:25 AM, PST | Collider.com | See recent Collider.com news »
Last weekend, Sony held a big press junket in New York City for director David Fincher‘s The Girl With the Dragon Tattoo and I got to participate in a great press conference with Fincher, Rooney Mara, and Daniel Craig. Click here if you missed it. As most of you know, Dragon Tattoo is the first in Stieg Larson’s Millennium trilogy and it centers on a disgraced journalist (Craig) who’s hired to investigate the mysterious 40-year-old disappearance of a young woman. Mara plays Lisbeth Salander, a brilliant young hacker who teams up with Craig. Shortly after the press conference ended, I got to sit down with screenwriter Steven Zaillian for an exclusive interview. As a big fan of his previous work on American Gangster, Moneyball, Searching for Bobby Fischer (which he wrote and directed) and Schindler's List (full resume here), I was excited to hear about his collaboration »

Movie Review - War Horse (2011)
24 December 2011 3:04 PM, PST | Flickeringmyth | See recent Flickeringmyth news »
War Horse, 2011.
Directed by Steven Spielberg.
Starring Jeremy Irvine, Emily Watson, Peter Mullan, David Thewlis, Benedict Cumberbatch, Tom Hiddleston and Toby Kebbell.
Synopsis:
A horse is separated from its owner and thrust into the midst of World War I when it is sent into action on the Western Front.
In Jurassic Park, there is a scene whereby Palaeontologist Dr Alan Grant (Sam Neill) finds an ill Triceratops. He is transfixed - "It's so beautiful. It's the most beautiful thing I ever saw". This same line could be applied to the War Horse, our protagonist in Steven Spielberg's latest War film. Spielberg's fascination with the idea that Dinosaurs, Animals and Aliens tell us more about ourselves that about themselves, is a theme further explored in War Horse.
Michael Morpugo released the children's novel in 1982, but it was in 2007 when the success of the play on the London South Bank meant that Hollywood became interested. »

War Horse Cinematographer Janusz Kaminski On Working With Spielberg And The Death Of Film
22 December 2011 9:09 PM, PST | cinemablend.com | See recent Cinema Blend news »
The irony of what I was doing only occurred to me as I sat down at the table opposite Janusz Kaminski, the two-time Oscar winning cinematographer behind masterpieces like The Diving Bell and the Butterfly, Schindler's List and now War Horse. I had asked to record the interview with a Flip cam, as I often do, and when I started setting up the camera I told Kaminski he was nicely lit. to which he responded "Of course." Well, yeah-- of course Janusz Kaminski knows the best place to sit in a room for good light, because Kaminski knows everything about cinematography, including that a Flip cam interview was going to look like complete garbage compared to what he's capable of recording. But he was game anyway, talking to me in the 11-minute interview below about the close relationship he and Steven Spielberg have developed over the years, what a typical »
Cinematographer Janusz Kaminski Talks War Horse, Film vs. Digital, Harmony Korine’s Spring Breakers, and More
22 December 2011 4:10 PM, PST | Collider.com | See recent Collider.com news »
If you're a film nerd, you immediately recognize the name Janusz Kaminski. That's because as the director of photography on The Diving Bell and the Butterfly, War of the Worlds, Jerry Maguire, Saving Private Ryan, Munich, Schindler's List, Catch Me If You Can, and so many other great movies, Kaminski has clearly demonstrated that he's one of the best cinematographers in the world. So when I was offered the chance to interview him at the New York City press junket for director Steven Spielberg‘s fantastic new movie, War Horse, I jumped at the chance. During the interview he talked about how he picks his projects, if the location where a movie is being made influences him, his thoughts on film vs. digital, the difficulty of setting up a scene when a horse is a major character, and I tried to get him to talk about Lincoln. However, while he wouldn't say much on Lincoln, »

Spielberg's Top Concern Filming 'War Horse'
22 December 2011 10:53 AM, PST | Huffington Post | See recent Huffington Post news »
From Mother Nature Network's Gerri Miller:
According to "War Horse" director Steven Spielberg, "Four million horses were killed in World War I and not just from shelling or gunfire, but from malnutrition and exposure." Spielberg depicts that brutal reality in his new film, but despite the harrowing situations they face, the equine heroes of Spielberg's latest epic were not harmed in any way making the movie. Extra care was taken in a climactic sequence in which a horse is caught up in barbed wire in No Man's Land. "It took much longer to shoot that scene because we had to make sure every single shot was safe for the horse." The barbed wire was actually "Styrofoam rubber painted silver," he adds.
American Humane Society representative Barbara Carr was on set throughout and "had the power to pull the plug if she ever felt any of the horses were not up »

Steven Spielberg Reveals How His iPhone Helped Him Make War Horse
21 December 2011 3:26 PM, PST | cinemablend.com | See recent Cinema Blend news »
After practically defining the modern image of World War II with his films Schindler's List and Saving Private Ryan, not to mention his work on The Pacific and Band of Brothers, Steven Spielberg has moved on to the earlier global conflict with his new film War Horse, a sprawling epic that spans the entire course of World War I. Though he'll swear up and down it's not one of his "war movies," instead emphasizing the way it tells the story of the strong bond between a young boy (Jeremy Irvine's Albert) and the horse he loves, Spielberg is uncovering a part of history even he didn't know much about before, and freely admits he had a lot to learn when first digging into the adaptation of both Michael Mopurgo's novel and the hit Broadway stage play. A few weekends ago Spielberg made himself available for a press conference, a »
Video: First Parody Sketch For Tdkr Hits; Can You Guess What It Makes Fun Of?

Some understand him, some don't, but I think we can all agree that his audio could be a little clearer one way or the other. Big deal? Not really, but anyone would think Tom Hardy was speaking Klingon in that Tdkr prologue for all the fuss it's caused. Anyway here we have the inevitable first (of what is sure to be many) parody vids for Christopher Nolan's new...err, trailer. There were quite a few of these knocking around after The Dark Knight, as some people (incomprehensibly) apparently had trouble understanding Batman in that movie. And lo and behold that "joke" has been milked once again. I found this one about as funny as Schindler's List but see what you make of it.. Lol, did you see the bit where Gordon couldn't understand what they were saying?!! up your game at Gambling Insider »
Spielberg @ 65
20 December 2011 1:23 PM, PST | MUBI | See recent MUBI news »
Where to begin. Perhaps with the first sentence of the Wikipedia entry: "Steven Allan Spielberg Kbe (Hons.) (born December 18, 1946) is an American film director, screenwriter, producer, video game designer, and studio entrepreneur." And this year, as he turns 65, he's Father Christmas, too — at least at the box office. After a mightily successful run in Europe, The Adventures of Tintin opens in the Us on Wednesday, followed by War Horse on Christmas Day.
"Every time a new Steven Spielberg film opens, a divisive critical discourse emerges," wrote Michael Koresky and Jeff Reichert in 2003, introducing a symposium at Reverse Shot. "Are Saving Private Ryan and Amistad heavily critical of American history, or are they glowing tributes to democracy? Is The Color Purple a progressive portrayal of a region mostly ignored by Hollywood, or a sugarcoated bastardization of Alice Walker's far grittier novel? Is A.I. sentimentalized Kubrick or cynical Spielberg? Does Schindler's List »
Janusz Kaminski on Shooting War Horse, Avoiding 3-D, and Those Spielberg Close-Ups
20 December 2011 12:00 PM, PST | Movieline | See recent Movieline news »
For most of the last 18 years as Steven Spielberg's go-to cinematographer, Janusz Kaminski has held one of the sweetest creative gigs in Hollywood. The post has netted the Polish D.P. two Academy Awards (for Schindler's List and Saving Private Ryan, plus an additional nomination for Amistad) and credits on some of the most commercially successful films of the last generation, but more than that, it has made Kaminski's eye the one through which audiences witness Spielberg's influential vision of the past, present and future. It's a huge responsibility. It's also a singular opportunity. »
Timecrimes Remake to be Directed by Oscar Winning Screenwriter
20 December 2011 11:00 AM, PST | GeekTyrant | See recent GeekTyrant news »
Oscar winning screenwriter Steve Zaillian is looking to direct the remake of the 2007 time travel Spanish film Timecrimes. Zallian has written a ton of great films such as Schindler's List, Mission: Impossible, Gangs of New York, Moneyball, The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo and several more films. He's also written and directed Searching for Bobby Fisher, A Civil Action and All the Kings Men. That's quite an impressive resume.
Earlier this year the talented screenwriter was hired by DreamWorks to write the script for Timecrimes. It's cool that he may have the option on jumping into the directors chair. Timecrimes seems like a project that is very different from any of the other films that he's worked on in his career. It seems like a step back, but maybe he's doing it because it is different, and will be fun for him to develop. The news came from Zaillian himself »

Zaillian Keen On Directing "Timecrimes"
20 December 2011 9:25 AM, PST | Dark Horizons | See recent Dark Horizons news »
Oscar-winning scribe Steve Zaillian, whose most current work is adapting the script for David Fincher's "The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo" which opens tonight in the United States, says he's considering stepping into the director's chair on the remake of Spanish cult sci-fi thriller "Timecrimes" set up at Dreamworks Pictures.
Nacho Vigalondo's original follows a man who repeatedly goes back in time an hour in an attempt to alter the events of a crime. Zaillian came onboard to write the remake back in January. While no director was set at the time, David Cronenberg had previously been linked as a potential candidate. The Canadian helmer however dismissed the talk the other month.
Zaillian tells Coming Soon that "That's something I might direct but I don't know. We have to cast it, but it's a tricky one, because I want to make it really low budget. I don't want »

Steven Zaillian Wants to Direct the Remake of ‘Timecrimes’
20 December 2011 5:00 AM, PST | Slash Film | See recent Slash Film news »
It doesn't feel like the last time we reported on a Us remake of TimeCrimes was almost a year ago. But it was back in January that Steven Zaillian was reported [1] as the screenwriter responsible for the roadmap for the remake of Nacho Vigalondo's fan-favorite time-travel thriller. He was working from a previous draft from Tim Sexton, and Zaillian was producing as well. Rumors that David Cronenberg might direct [2] had been scuttled, and at the time we didn't know who might direct the remake. Now, while doing the press rounds for The Girl With the Dragon Tattoo, which Zaillian wrote, he says that he'd like to direct the TimeCrimes remake. Speaking to ComingSoon [3], Zaillian said, [Timecrimes is] something I might direct but I don't know. We have to cast it, but it's a tricky one, because I want to make it really low budget. I don't want to do a really big budgeted film for that. »

'Dragon Tattoo' Scribe Steve Zaillian Says He's Considering Directing Remake Of Nacho Vigalondo's 'Time Crimes'
19 December 2011 12:30 PM, PST | The Playlist | See recent The Playlist news »
Plus Updates On Michel Gondry's 'Ubik' & David Cronenberg's 'As She Climbed Across The Table' Steve Zaillian has, over the past couple of decades, become Hollywood's go-to-guy for smart, grown-up dramas. From "Awakenings" and "Schindler's List" to "Moneyball," which, with Aaron Sorkin, has a good chance of winning him his second Oscar, and the imminent "The Girl With The Dragon Tattoo," a credit by Zaillian generally suggests that a film won't be some pandering blockbuster fare, but a thoughtful, adult picture. Away from the typewriter, he's also carved out a second career as director, starting off with the underrated "Searching for Bobby Fischer" before going on to the solid "A Civil Action" and, most recently, the remake "All The King's Men." The latter was less-well received; we spoke to Zaillian over the weekend as he was doing press for 'Dragon »
