Jenna-Louise Coleman Moves From Doctor Who To Jane Austen Crime Thriller
18 June 2013 10:41 AM, PDT | Boomtron | See recent Boomtron news »
I know what you’re thinking. Is it April Fool’s Day again? Why does this headline feature the seemingly completely unrelated topics of Doctor Who, Jane Austen and crime thrillers? Well, today’s BBC story is so interesting that I couldn’t have made it up on my own if I tried. Doctor Who star Jenna-Louise Coleman has signed on to appear in the three-part mini-series, Death Comes to Pemberley, which is based on a P.D. James novel that includes classic Jane Austen characters. No foolin’!
Death Comes to Pemberley is a drama, which was commissioned by BBC’s controller Ben Stephenson along with former BBC One Danny Cohen. Cohen was recently promoted to director of television.
In front of the camera, the BBC One min-series has added Jenna-Louise Coleman to play Lydia Wickham, who is the sister of Pride and Prejudice protagonist Elizabeth Bennet. That famous role has »

Oscar-Winning Director Reveals Key To His Success
9 May 2013 5:49 AM, PDT | Huffington Post | See recent Huffington Post news »
Taipei, Taiwan — Academy award-winning director Ang Lee says modesty and diligence have been the keys to his success in penetrating the foreign cultures that were part of many of his most notable films.
Earlier this year, the Taiwanese filmmaker won his second best director Oscar for "Life of Pi," a fantasy adventure about a 16-year-old Indian boy on an epic journey of survival. He also won the best director award for "Brokeback Mountain" in 2005.
Speaking to reporters in Taipei on Thursday, Lee said "I have to read everything and watch everything" before directing films with distinctly non-Taiwanese or non-Chinese themes, like "Sense and Sensibility," which takes place in early 19th century England, or "Brokeback Mountain," a gay love story set in late 20th century Wyoming.
"I grew up here until I was 23," he said, referring to his native Taiwan. "Taiwan is a very open society. It's an island, so we have a lot of influences. »

Ang Lee directing FX drama pilot 'Tyrant' from 'Homeland' producers
14 March 2013 5:21 PM, PDT | Zap2It - From Inside the Box | See recent Zap2It - From Inside the Box news »
In a major coup for FX, the network has landed two-time Oscar winning director Ang Lee to direct new drama pilot "Tyrant" from "Homeland" producers Howard Gordon and Gideon Raff.
Raff wrote the script about an unassuming American family drawn into the workings of a turbulent Middle Eastern nation. Gordon developed the series with Craig Wright ("Six Feet Under"), who would serve as showrunner if FX gives the project a series order, as expected.
Production is tentatively scheduled for the summer, which would make the pilot Lee's follow-up to his Oscar winning work on "Life of Pi."
"Ang Lee has demonstrated time and again an ability to present characters with such depth and specificity that they reveal the universal human condition," FX president John Landgraf said in a statement.
Lee previously won a Best Director Oscar for "Brokeback Mountain" and was nominated for "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon," which also won Best Foreign Language Film. »

Chaos Reigns For Kate Winslet
6 March 2013 7:53 PM, PST | EmpireOnline | See recent EmpireOnline news »
It's been 15 years since Alan Rickman last picked up the bullhorn and clapperboard, but his second directorial project is taking shape nicely. Kate Winslet has joined Matthias 'Belgian Tom Hardy' Schoenaerts on the roster of A Little Chaos, a long-germinating historical drama now underway at Lionsgate.Like 1997's The Winter Guest, it's a character piece that reunites Rickman with a past collaborator. Winslet, his co-star on Sense And Sensibility, will play a garden designer locked in a bitter rivalry with Schoenaerts' fellow horticulturalist as both vie for the patronage of Louis Xiv in the late 17th century. The Sun King wants a new fountain built at Versailles and both are desperate for the prestigious job. Rickman will also co-star, possibly as his Maj, although no word on that yet."We are delighted to be working with the best of British actors and directors like Kate Winslet and Alan Rickman," explained Lionsgate UK CEO Zygi Kamasa, »
Who Ang Lee Made Very Happy
25 February 2013 6:06 AM, PST | Huffington Post | See recent Huffington Post news »
Taipei, Taiwan — A second Academy Award for best director has thrust Taiwan native Ang Lee into the top ranks of world film-makers and made him a national hero on this diplomatically isolated island.
Lee's victory at Hollywood's annual Oscar extravaganza on Sunday for the fantasy epic "Life of Pi" followed his 2005 directorial win for "Brokeback Mountain." Garnering additional awards for visual effects, cinematography and original score, "Life of Pi" pulled down four Oscars, the most of any film this year.
News of Lee's triumph electrified Taiwanese, many of whom watched a live TV broadcast of the event. It was not only the surprise nature of the directorial award – "Lincoln" director Steven Spielberg was considered the category's clear frontrunner – but the intense pride they felt at a native son making it big in the world at large.
Since losing most of its diplomatic allies to China in the 1970s and 1980s »

Since its debut at the beginning of February, the Netflix-hosted miniseries House of Cards has garnered a growing amount of attention from both audiences and critics. Scripter Andrew Davies has received accolades for his canny adaptation of his own 1990 screenplay produced by the BBC.
Davies will soon see even more of the spotlight, as BBC has tapped him to create a television screenplay from what some consider the mother of all literary classics: Leo Tolstoy’s War and Peace.
Yesterday, the BBC announced that its BBC Wales division will produce a new, six-part miniseries to be aired in 2015. Davies will apparently script the series in its entirety. In addition to both versions of House of Cards, Davies is known for his work on well-liked miniseries adaptations of Pride and Prejudice, Sense and Sensibility, ...

The 5 Most Underrated Oscar Speeches
19 February 2013 11:08 AM, PST | The Backlot | See recent The Backlot news »
Five underrated Oscar speeches. Five opportunities to applaud fine podium behavior. Let's go.
1. Ingrid Bergman, Best Supporting Actress for Murder on the Orient Express
This is one of my all-time favorites: Ingrid Bergman, who had probably forgotten all about her tiny, insignificant part in Murder on the Orient Express (which, by the way, is mysteriously popular among Agatha Christie stories despite having the most ridiculous, unenjoyably stupid conclusions in her entire catalog -- how is that trash heap more well-known than the glorious Witness for the Prosecution? Tell me!) won her third Oscar in 1974 against, among other notable performances, Madeline effing Kahn in Blazing effing Saddles. But Ingrid knew how weird this win was: In her speech, she immediately announced that sometimes the Oscars' "timing is wrong" before cheering on fellow nominee Valentina Cortese, explaining how Cortese's performance in Day for Night illustrated wonderful truths about acting, and announcing that »

BBC returns to Tolstoy's War and Peace
18 February 2013 4:50 PM, PST | The Guardian - TV News | See recent The Guardian - TV News news »
Unlike broadcaster's epic 1972 dramatisation, new adaptation by Pride and Prejudice screenwriter will be in six parts
More than 40 years after its epic 20-part dramatisation starring Anthony Hopkins, the BBC is to return to Leo Tolstoy's War and Peace in a new adaptation by Pride and Prejudice screenwriter Andrew Davies.
One of the most widely admired – and longest – works of world literature, the new version will be six parts long, rather shorter than its 1972 forerunner.
Davies, whose other TV adaptations include Middlemarch and Sense and Sensibility, as well as the big screen versions of the Bridget Jones books, said the novel's Natasha Rostova pipped Pride and Prejudice's Elizabeth Bennett as literature's most loveable heroine.
"Not just a great novel, it's a wonderful read and it'll make a wonderful serial. A thrilling, funny and heartbreaking story of love, war and family life," said Davies.

18 February 2013 6:25 AM, PST | Dark Horizons | See recent Dark Horizons news »
Legendary British TV scribe Andrew Davies has been hired to pen a six episode TV mini-series adaptation of Leo Tolstoy's classic "War and Peace" for The BBC. The project is scheduled to air on BBC One in 2015.
The story will remain based in war-torn 19th century Russia. Many of the philosophical elements are expected to be left out, with the series focusing on the human interactions, romance and family conflicts.
Davies penned the adaptation of the original UK "House of Cards" mini-series and its two sequels, along with film adaptations such as "Bridget Jones' Diary," "The Tailor of Panama," and "Brideshead Revisited".
He has worked on numerous mini-series including 1994's "Middlemarch," 1995's "Pride and Prejudice," 1998's "Vanity Fair," 1999's "Wives and Daughters," 2002's "Tipping the Velvet," 2005's "Bleak House," 2007's "Fanny Hill," 2008's "Little Dorrit," 2008's "Sense and Sensibility" and 2011's "South Riding."
