Michelle Pfeiffer in Talks for Luc Besson Crime Thriller Malavita with Robert De Niro
29 May 2012 4:46 PM, PDT | Collider.com | See recent Collider.com news »
It looks like Michelle Pfeiffer (Scarface) might be joining Robert De Niro (Goodfellas) in returning to their mafia roots in Luc Besson's crime comedy, Malavita. Based on Tonino Benacquista's novel, "Badfellas", Malavita follows a mafia family who seeks witness protection in France. The problem is that they brought their criminal habits with them and start to deal with things in the old-fashioned way. De Niro is set to star as the head of the family, who was also head of the local crime family until he turned rat. Pfeiffer is in talks to star as his wife, who has a soft spot for using arson against those who cross her. Besson, who wrote the script and will also produce, is eyeing a production start this August. Hit the jump for more on Malavita. Variety reports that Pfeiffer is in talks to re-team with De Niro in Malavita. The »

Sharon Stone Sued for Harassment by Former Nanny
23 May 2012 3:52 PM, PDT | The Wrap | See recent The Wrap news »
Sharon Stone's basic instinct might be a little bit off -- at least when it comes to how to treat the help. "Casino" actress Stone is being sued by a woman claiming to be her former nanny, who says that Stone made disparaging remarks about her ethnicity and religious beliefs, and illegally fired her for receiving rightfully obtained overtime pay. Erlinda T. Elemen claims that she began working for Stone in October 2006, and was promoted to head nanny of the actress' three children in September 2008. In the suit, Elemen says that »

Girls on film: how Tim Burton finally got his vamp right
18 May 2012 2:02 PM, PDT | The Guardian - Film News | See recent The Guardian - Film News news »
You can't really be an auteur until you've got your type – and that's just as true for the women directors
Tim Burton's Dark Shadows may have received a kicking from critics, but one person has emerged from the dust-up unscathed: Eva Green, the French actress who plays the evil witch Angelique Bouchard. With her red-lacquered lips, her crazy-beautiful eyes and possessed-marionette limbs, Green's lolling vamp represents the perfection of a type Burton has long been trying to get right – from Michelle Pfeiffer's Catwoman in Batman Returns, to Lisa Marie Smith's bosomy Martian in Mars Attacks!, to Anne Hathaway's White Queen in Alice in Wonderland.
Critics may be tired of the rest of Burton's directorial signatures – the ornate production designs, the seventies kitsch, the collaboration with Johnny Depp – but he's finally perfected his vamps: peroxide-blonde, big-chested, cinch-waisted, eyes like Bambi's.

17 May 2012 2:46 AM, PDT | WorstPreviews.com | See recent Worst Previews news »
CBS has unveiled a preview for its upcoming "Vegas" TV series, which is a 1960's period piece about the early days of Las Vegas. It stars Dennis Quaid, Michael Chiklis, and Carrie-Anne Moss. Check it out below. Plot: The story focuses on Ralph Lamb (Quaid), a cowboy turned sheriff of Las Vegas, and Johnny Savino (Chiklis), a Chicago mob fixer.

"Vegas" is created by Oscar-nominated writer/director James Mangold (3:10 to Yuma, Walk the Line) and Oscar-nominated writer Nicholas Pileggi (Casino, Goodfellas). Mangold directed the pilot episode, which is set to premiere on the network later this fall. Video: »
Weigh in on Dennis Quaid and Michael Chiklis in CBS' 'Vegas' teaser
16 May 2012 4:27 PM, PDT | Hitfix | See recent Hitfix news »
Dennis Quaid is a cowboy sheriff who fights crime by riding a horse through 1960s Las Vegas. Do you really need to know anything more about the new CBS drama "Vegas"? Personally, I'm already sold. But it doesn't hurt that Michael Chiklis (Vic Mackey forever!) is also on board as a "ruthless Chicago gangster," Carrie-Anne Moss has the plum role of an "ambitious assistant district attorney" and potential love interest for Quaid, and Jason O'Mara rebounds from "Terra Nova" as Quaid's brother and deputy. The series comes from "Goodfellas" and "Casino" writer Nicholas Pileggi and the pilot is directed by filmmaker »

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 »

The test card: when a girl and a clown ruled the airwaves
22 April 2012 4:05 PM, PDT | The Guardian - TV News | See recent The Guardian - TV News news »
It's one of the BBC's most iconic images. But who created it, and why?
I wouldn't have missed Scooby Doo for the world, but a couple of times a week – during what, in the 1970s, was called Children's Hour – I would sit my portable cassette recorder on a stool next to the TV speaker and record the incidental music played on BBC2.
In the mid-70s, there were only three TV channels and very few programmes during the day. For long periods there was nothing but trade test transmissions, largely to enable TV shops to get the best possible picture. These transmissions were made up of the test card, with its instrumental soundtrack, and the occasional test film – such as The Home Made Car, a 1963 Academy Award-nominated short. During the school holidays, or on Saturday mornings before your parents were up, there was little else for bored kids to do »

Robert De Niro & Judd Apatow Look Back On Success, Failure And Virginity
19 April 2012 5:18 PM, PDT | Huffington Post | See recent Huffington Post news »
At the end of April, Universal Studios celebrates its 100th anniversary. To mark the milestone, the studio has a heavy presence at the eleventh annual Tribeca Film Festival. Its upcoming comedy, "The Five-Year Engagement," opened Tribeca on Wednesday night, and on Thursday, the fest hosted Judd Apatow and Robert De Niro for an hour-long discussion about their contributions to the studio.
De Niro has made twelve films for Universal throughout his lauded career, including "Meet the Parents," "Cape Fear," "The Deer Hunter," "Casino" and "Midnight Run." All four of Apatow's directorial efforts ("The 40-Year-Old Virgin," "Knocked Up," "Funny People" and the upcoming "This is 40") were released by Universal, as was the Apatow-produced comedy "Bridesmaids." (He also produced "Five-Year.") As Universal president and CEO Ron Meyer said at the beginning of the presentation, the two men are "an integral part of [the] organization."

Martin Scorsese and Leonardo DiCaprio Officially on for The Wolf Of Wall Street
19 April 2012 3:00 PM, PDT | GeekTyrant | See recent GeekTyrant news »
As of today, director Martin Scorsese and Leonardo DiCaprio are officially signed on to make another movie they've been wanting to do together called The Wolf of Wall Street. The film is based on the memoir by Jordan Belfort and tells the story of "his days as a hard partying, drug addicted stockbroker who was indicted in 1998 for security fraud and money laundering and served a 22-month federal prison stretch."
I love watching the films of Scorsese and DiCaprio. They're a great team of awesome talent that knows how to make solidly amazing films. I expect nothing less but complete greatness from these guys, and I'm sure they'll bring it with their fifth collaboration.
Executive producer and writer of HBO's The Sopranos and Boardwalk Empire, Terence Winter, wrote the script for the movie. For those of you not familiar with they guy, the movie is based off of his coming »

Martin Scorsese and Leonardo DiCaprio Make Their Fifth Collaboration Official With $85 Million Budget
19 April 2012 10:42 AM, PDT | The Film Stage | See recent The Film Stage news »
There isn’t much news here to speak of, only that the third time is the charm, after news of a Martin Scorsese and Leonardo DiCaprio reunion was once and twice confirmed. An official press release lets us know that everything has come together for a summer shoot for The Wolf of Wall Street, which sees DiCaprio playing stockbroker Jordan Belfort in the film written by Terrence Winter (The Sopranos, Boardwalk Empire).
ScreenDaily also chimes that the film is a budgeted at a fairly large $85 million, somewhat surprising after his last film, Hugo, wasn’t a box office hit. But Scorsese tends to get what he wants regardless and considering his last DiCaprio collaboration, Shutter Island, was the biggest success of his career, the pattern could certainly be repeated. Check out the press release below.
Los Angeles, CA – April 19, 2012 – Martin Scorsese will direct “The Wolf of Wall Street” starring Leonardo Dicraprio. »

Scorsese Discusses Themes of ‘Wall Street’ and New Plans for DiCaprio’s ‘Sinatra’
9 April 2012 12:10 PM, PDT | The Film Stage | See recent The Film Stage news »
Martin Scorsese is one of his generation’s most outspoken filmmakers — maybe among any living masters, now that I think about it — but his intentions for and goals with The Wolf of Wall Street have remained something of an enigma. Why he’d do the project? Not so much. It’s got Leonardo DiCaprio; there are themes of corruption and power, filtered through the lens of masculinity; he certainly likes his period pieces; and, good Lord, is there room for a scene in which someone inhales coke whilst a rock song blares over some tight editing. But I don’t know what his thought process is here, and Scorsese‘s the kind of fellow who, by this point, is very clear on that each time out.
And, for this, we have Et (via Chud) to thank. They managed to snag some interview time with a personal favorite and, during this time, »

The 25 Most Essential '90s Movies
5 April 2012 9:00 AM, PDT | NextMovie | See recent NextMovie news »
There's a reason you've recently had the urge to bust out your plaid shirts, Celine Dion albums and dial-up modems, as this week sees the release of two relics of the 1990s: "Titanic 3D" and "American Reunion."
Since both of these movies make us think back to a more innocent time when Monica Lewinsky was an eager young White House intern, our money wasn't on fire and Twittering was a weird body tic, we're reminiscing about that decade's most influential and essential cinematic treasures for future generations. It wasn't easy to narrow down the list (next time, "Problem Child 2," next time ...) but if we were to preserve only 25 flicks from the '90s in a time capsule, they would be these (listed in alphabetical order).

'Raging Bull 2,' Starring William Forsythe, Announced; Will Anyone Care?
5 April 2012 8:00 AM, PDT | The Playlist | See recent The Playlist news »
So far, for all the sequel mania that's swept Hollywood, the films of Martin Scorsese remain untouched. Sure, you could perhaps argue that "Casino" is a follow-up to "Goodfellas," in spirit rather than in content, but we've so far been spared "Cape Fear 2: Max Takes Manhattan," "Kundun 2: The Quickening" or "New York New York: Tokyo Drift," either from the director himself or from lesser helmers, even as we get follow-ups to everything from "Tron" to "Road House."
But it looks as though our unbroken run is over, and someone's had the giant balls to sequelize perhaps Scorsese's greatest movie, no less. Moviehole report that casting is currently underway on "Raging Bull II," a follow-up to the director's biopic of boxer Jake Lamotta. Based on the book of the same name by Lamotta, Chris Anderson and Sharon McGehee, which examines both the early life and the events after those told in the Scorsese picture, »

Acm Awards 2012: Zac Brown Band, Brad Paisley sing 'Whiskey's Gone,' wear matching beanies
1 April 2012 11:43 PM, PDT | Zap2It - From Inside the Box | See recent Zap2It - From Inside the Box news »
The Zac Brown Band played at the 2012 Academy of Country Music Awards, accompanied by Brad Paisley at the Fan Jam at the Mandalay Bay Casino in Las Vegas. Together, the group performed the Zbb's song 'Whiskey's Gone' from the 'You Get What You Give' album.
Even cooler? Paisley wore a knit beanie to match the lead singer of Zbb. That's the cutest thing ever. It was an excellent performance, and far more relaxed than some of the other bands on stage at the Acm's.
The band opened the show with their song "Keep Me In Mind," which had the crowd roaring. What did you think of the performance? Check out the video below if you missed it and let us know what you think.
