Mm@M: A Place in the What?

2 November 2009 9:29 AM, PST | FilmExperience | See recent FilmExperience news »

It's been a month since I did one of these Mad Men posts and I'm still on the first season. I mean that only in the sense of these posts. I'm right up to date on the actual Mad Men show, which wraps Season 3 up next weekend. I hate to see it go but at least I'll catch up on the blog with the movie references. (Find the silver lining!)

1.11 "Indian Summer"

Rachel Menken (Maggie Siff) has confessed to her sister Barbara (Rebecca Creskoff) that she's seeing Don Draper, a married man. Her sister is understandably concerned...

Barbara: All I know is what I see in the movies. It's magical and then they start talking about him leaving his wife... and then he doesn't. I saw this one where the husband gets the woman pregnant so he kills her.

You don't want to be that woman.Hmmm. Help me out here, »

Despite George Death, 'Grey's Anatomy' Alive and Kicking

27 September 2009 6:13 PM, PDT | buddytv.com | See recent BuddyTV news »

Or perhaps because of George's (Tr Knight) death that Grey's Anatomy packed a wallop on its premiere last week. Despite being long advertised (and celebrated or rued, depending on which side you belong), the death of one of the original Seattle Grace interns was still anticipated and watched by a lot of people - 17.1 million in the first hour, and somehow dwindling by some 600,000 in the second.

While I think there might be Grey's Anatomy fans who purposely tuned in just for the first hour to probably see how they bury and say goodbye to George, overall, the number may be too small to account for people who thought the first hour sucked and therefore tuned out. I personally think the second hour was far better than the first. "Good mourning" - the first of the two-hour kick-off - was slow-cooking, perhaps too slow-cooking, and was much more subdued than »

Songs/Videos for Indian Summer

16 September 2009 11:21 AM, PDT | Pastemagazine.com | See recent PasteMagazine news »

The changing of the guard when summer gives way to fall is a sensory explosion in New England.  The clear mornings, mild days and cool nights give you that extra ounce of oomph in your boogie woogie tap shoes.  You don't really want summer to fade away completely but no crowds at the beach, better surf, forgotten sweaters and scrumptious cider donuts make the Indian Summer oh so sweet.  Here's the September soundtrack so far:

1) Javelin's new Thrill Jockey 12" Release Javelin: Best song "Soda Popinski"  this will be used in a new Apple ad sooner rather than later.  Trust me.

Here is the new "Video Poster" for their Brooklyn show: Uber-cool

 

Miho Hatori, Javelin at Market Hotel 09/18 from Mike Anderson on Vimeo.

 

2) Phenomenal Handclap Band "15 to 20": With shades of Beastie Boys' "Sabotage" this video is a quick reminder how groovalicious this band can be when it get's it's funk on. »

Joe Wright Spending The Summer In India

12 March 2009 5:09 AM, PDT | cinemablend.com | See recent Cinema Blend news »

Apparently Joe Wright can't stay away from England's past for very long. He departed from period pieces like Atonement and Pride and Prejudice with this spring's The Soloist, but before too long he'll be back in clipped accents and detailed frocks, directing an adaptation of the novel Indian Summer. The book by Alex von Tunzelman follows a British Lord and his wife who travel to India to oversee transfer of power in 1947 to India's first prime minister, Jawaharlal Nehru. Wright told Variety, "After making 'The Soloist' in L.A., I was looking for something that was primarily about the British experience." We all know he's good at capturing Britishness onscreen, from the societal hangups in Pride and Prejudice to all the desires left unsaid in Atonement. I'd be happy to see Wright adapt prestigious literature for the rest of his life, given how good he's been at it so far. »

Joe Wright to Follow 'Soloist' Gig with 'Indian Summer'

12 March 2009 12:56 AM, PDT | Rope of Silicon | See recent Rope Of Silicon news »

Joe Wright's The Soloist is set to finally hit theaters on April 24th after being delayed. The film starring Robert Downey Jr. and Jamie Foxx was originally thought to be an award season contender, but the move to 2009 makes it an unlikely candidate for 2010 (if you believe in release dates determining award possibilities). Wright's pedigree, of course, is sure to keep The Soloist in the thoughts of Oscar pundits should the film register with critics and audiences due to his success with Atonement and Pride and Prejudice. While The Soloist tells a story set in Los Angeles Wright tells Variety he "was looking for something that was primarily about the British experience" for his next outing, which will be Indian Summer based on the book of the same name by Alex von Tunzelmann. William Nicholson (Gladiator and Elizabeth: The Golden Age) is penning the script which focuses on the »

Atonement's Joe Wright Adapting Indian Summer

12 March 2009 12:29 AM, PDT | firstshowing.net | See recent FirstShowing.net news »

English director Joe Wright has already lined up his next project, an adaptation of Alex von Tunzelmann's book "Indian Summer". Wright has already finished his work on The Soloist, since Paramount shifted its release from November last year to April, will direct this next. First published in 2007, the book chronicles the last days of Britain's colonial rule in India and the symbolic end of their status as a world superpower. William Nicholson, of Gladiator and Elizabeth: The Golden Age previously, is adapting the book for Wright to direct early next year in India. Working Title will produce and Universal will distribute the film. While Variety claims that Wright hasn't chosen a cast yet, we should point out that the Times Online rumored last summer that Hugh Grant and Cate Blanchett would star. Obviously Blanchett has since taken on Ridley Scott's Robin Hood, so we can assume she might not »

Joe Wright, the acclaimed director of Atonement and Pride & Prejudice, has signed on to direct an adaptation of Alex von Tunzelmann’s book, Indian Summer, for Working Title and Universal Pictures.The movie will represent a return to period drama and a British flavour for Wright, whose next movie, the upcoming The Soloist, was shot in La and takes place in the present day.Back to basics, then? Hardly – Indian Summer should be a challenging and complex project for Wright, given that it’s about the end of the British colonial rule in India after the Second World War. That’s a pretty big subject, with all sorts of bases to cover and ramifications to explore.The movie will focus on Lord Mountbatten, and his wife Edwina, as they oversee the handover of power to Jawaharlal Nehru, the first Prime Minister of India, amid scenes of extreme violence and civil »

11 March 2009 10:09 PM, PDT | TotalFilm | See recent TotalFilm news »

Pride & Prejudice director Joe Wright has agreed to make Indian Summer for Universal. After adapting Pride and making upcoming drama The Soloist, you’d think Wright would want to take a break and tackle something lightweight. But nope – he’s set his sights on the book by Alex von Tunzelmann, which charts the waning days of Britain’s colonial rule in India. Gladiator’s William Nicholson is aboard to adapt the novel, and will focus on Lord Mountbatten heading to India to oversee the transfer of power to... .
