Les Miserables Trailer: Anne Hathaway Show-Stopper
30 May 2012 1:29 PM, PDT | Alt Film Guide | See recent Alt Film Guide news »
Les Misérables trailer: Anne Hathaway sings Les Misérables trailer is out. (Please scroll down.) You can hear Anne Hathaway‘s miserable Fantine singing "I dreamed that love would never die … I had a dream my life would be so different from this hell I’m living." All the while, dialogue-less bits from the film are shown featuring Hugh Jackman as Jean Valjean, Russell Crowe as Inspector Javert, Amanda Seyfried as Crosette, and Eddie Redmayne as Marius. I believe that even those who aren’t fans of modern Hollywood musicals (or Broadway musicals) will agree that the Les Misérables trailer looks impressive. As for Anne Hathaway’s rendition of "I Dreamed a Dream," it sounds equally impressive. Best Actress Oscar nod? Another question: Apart from the pathological Javert, why aren’t the villains shown in the trailer? Or did I miss them? The big-screen version of Claude-Michel Schönberg and Alain Boublil’s Tony Award-winning stage musical, »

Russell Crowe, Hugh Jackman, Les Misérables Hugh Jackman‘s Jean Valjean and Russell Crowe‘s Inspector Javert are seen above in the upcoming Les Misérables movie, the big-screen version of Claude-Michel Schönberg and Alain Boublil‘s highly successful, Tony Award-winning stage musical, itself based on Victor Hugo’s novel. Tom Hooper, Oscar winner for The King’s Speech, directed. [Definitely not a musical by Andrew Lloyd Webber, as previously stated in this article. See comments below.] Les Misérables, of course, will arrive covered with a patina of "prestige." In addition to Tony Award winner Jackman (The Boy from Oz), and Oscar winners Crowe (Gladiator) and Hooper, the film’s cast boasts the following: The Dark Knight Rises star and Oscar nominee Anne Hathaway (Rachel Getting Married) as Fantine; two-time Oscar nominee Helena Bonham Carter (The Wings of the Dove, The King’s Speech) as the villainous Madame Thénardier; Mamma Mia!‘s Amanda Seyfried as Cosette; My Week with Marilyn‘s Eddie Redmayne as Marius, The Dictator‘s »

Jennifer Lopez/What To Expect, The Dictator: Box Office Duds
19 May 2012 2:57 AM, PDT | Alt Film Guide | See recent Alt Film Guide news »
Jennifer Lopez, What to Expect When You’re Expecting Still going strong, The Avengers is on its third weekend out. Yet, the domestic box office is expected to be down 18% compared to last year because of three weak new entries: Peter Berg / Taylor Kitsch’s megabudgeted Battleship barely managed to stay afloat on Friday, while Sacha Baron Cohen‘s The Dictator (which opened on Wed.) and Kirk Jones’ all-star ensemble (Jennifer Lopez, Cameron Diaz, Chace Crawford, etc.) What to Expect When You’re Expecting performed below expectations. [See Box Office: Battleship bombs.] The Dictator grossed an estimated $5.5m at 3,008 theaters on Friday, for an expected weekend total of $16m, as per Deadline.com. Sacha Baron Cohen’s R-rated comedy will thus reach a cume of $23m after five days. For comparison’s sake, Bruno — which was considered a major box-office disappointment following Borat — opened with $30.61m on its first weekend out in July 2009. Supporting Baron »

Johnny Depp/Tim Burton/Dark Shadows: Costly Box-Office Misfire
12 May 2012 5:24 PM, PDT | Alt Film Guide | See recent Alt Film Guide news »
Dark Shadows: Michelle Pfeiffer in the old Joan Bennett role, Elizabeth Collins Stoddard Unlike Joss Whedon / Chris Evans / Chris Hemsworth’s The Avengers, Tim Burton / Johnny Depp’s Dark Shadows isn’t about to break any box-office records. The latest Burton / Depp collaboration — also featuring Michelle Pfeiffer and Chloë Grace Moretz — opened with a disappointing $9.72m (including $550k from Thursday midnight screenings) at 3,755 North American locations. Dark Shadows is expected to finish its first domestic weekend with $27-28m — or less than the amount ($29.1m) The Avengers earned on its second Friday out. [See also The Avengers Movie to Break Another box-office Record?] Dark Shadows distributor Warner Bros. had been expecting at the very least a $35m opening weekend. Burton and Depp’s previous collaboration, Alice in Wonderland, debuted with $116m in March 2010. In fact, even Sweeney Todd: The Demon Barber of Fleet Street, which scored $9.3m on opening weekend in December 2007, sold more tickets than Dark Shadows. Making »

Box Office: Johnny Depp/Dark Shadows Disappoints; The Avengers $100m?
12 May 2012 3:55 AM, PDT | Alt Film Guide | See recent Alt Film Guide news »
Johnny Depp vampire: Dark Shadows The Avengers to break another box-office record? As per early, rough box-office estimates, the Joss Whedon-directed superhero movie is expected to gross $28-29m at 4,349 theaters in North America on Friday and a whopping $100m by Sunday evening — up from $80-90m predicted earlier today. Meanwhile, Tim Burton / Johnny Depp’s Dark Shadows opened with a disappointing $10.5m at 3,755 locations. Dark Shadows is expected to finish its first weekend with $28m — the amount The Avengers is expected to earn on its second Friday out. The above figures were found at Deadline.com, which adds that Dark Shadows distributor Warner Bros. was expecting at the very least a $35m opening weekend. Burton and Depp’s previous collaboration, Alice in Wonderland, opened with $116m in March 2010. Making matters worse for Dark Shadows: its budget is pegged at $150-175m, not including marketing / distribution expenses. Unless »

Kristen Stewart/Snow White Movie Fairy-Tale Photo
17 April 2012 4:07 PM, PDT | Alt Film Guide | See recent Alt Film Guide news »
Kristen Stewart's Snow White movie: Snow White and the Huntsman Kristen Stewart is seen above as Snow White in recently released images from Rupert Sanders' Snow White and the Huntsman. Despite the sunny, lush, fairy-tale-ish visual of this particular shot, Snow White and the Huntsman looks and sounds like a dark, fantastical story for adults. Check out the Swath trailer/TV spot. Distributed by Universal, Snow White and the Huntsman opens June 1. Stewart's co-stars are Thor / The Avengers' Chris Hemsworth as the Huntsman, Prometheus / Young Adult's Charlize Theron (Best Actress Oscar winner for Monster) as the Evil Queen, and Pirates of the Caribbean: On Stranger Tides' Sam Claflin as Prince Charming. [See also Beautiful Kristen Stewart photo.] Snow White and the Huntsman's screenplay is credited to Killing Season's Evan Daugherty, The Blind Side / The Rookie's John Lee Hancock, and Drive / The Wings of the Dove's Hossein Amini. In addition to Stewart, »

Snow White Movie Featurette
3 April 2012 7:07 PM, PDT | Alt Film Guide | See recent Alt Film Guide news »
Kristen Stewart, Chris Hemsworth, Snow White and the Huntsman Can't say I enjoy featurettes as they're nothing more than movie infomercials. The interviews are likely staged or, at the very least, carefully planned. Those interviewed aren't going to be impartial, and if they do say anything that could be perceived as negative, that will be edited out of the final featurette talking-head-and-torso compilation. I much prefer watching the actual trailers, as they give you (or at least they're supposed to give you) an indication of what the movie is actually about — and how it has turned out. Anyhow, those who are into featurettes may enjoy this one. Among the interviewees are Oscar winner Charlize Theron (Monster), Twilight's Kristen Stewart, Thor's Chris Hemsworth, and Pirates of the Caribbean: On Stranger Tides' Sam Claflin discussing the making of Rupert Sanders' Snow White and the Huntsman.

Kristen Stewart/Snow White And The Huntsman Gorgeous TV Spot
27 March 2012 7:39 PM, PDT | Alt Film Guide | See recent Alt Film Guide news »
Kristen Stewart, Snow White and the Huntsman This Snow White and the Huntsman TV spot (please scroll down) features a few moments not seen before. Or at least that I hadn't seen before. Brief, fleeting moments, but there all the same — e.g., Charlize Theron's Evil Queen Ravenna (my fingers keep going for "Rihanna," but she's in another summer movie, Peter Berg's Battleship) telling Kristen Stewart's Snow White: "I feel that you and I are bound … forever!" Distributed by Universal, Snow White and the Huntsman opens June 1. Also this year, Kristen Stewart co-stars with Garrett Hedlund and Sam Riley in Walter Salles' On the Road, which will quite possibly be screened at the Cannes Film Festival in May. In mid-November, Stewart will be seen for the last time (I assume, though one never knows) as Bella Swan opposite Robert Pattinson and Taylor Lautner in Bill Condon »

Kristen Stewart/Snow White And The Huntsman HD Trailer
19 March 2012 5:39 AM, PDT | Alt Film Guide | See recent Alt Film Guide news »
Kristen Stewart, Snow White and the Huntsman Snow White and the Huntsman is one of the (very) few Hollywood movies I'm eager to watch next summer — Ridley Scott's Prometheus and Christopher Nolan's The Dark Knight Rises are the other two that come to mind. Directed by feature-film newcomer Rupert Sanders (formerly a director of commercials) from a screenplay by Killing Season's Evan Daugherty, The Blind Side / The Rookie's John Lee Hancock, and Drive / The Wings of the Dove's Hossein Amini, Snow White and the Huntsman is definitely far, far different from the bowdlerized, sentimentalized Disney fairy-tale we're used to. [See Snow White and the Huntsman trailer #2 below.] Sanders' film, in fact, probably looks and feels more like the original Snow White, as imagined by some creative (and twisted?) mind in the Europe of the Middle Ages, long before the Brothers Grimm put the story down on paper. One crucial difference, of course, is »

Johnny Depp/Tim Burton Dark Shadows Trailer/Poster
15 March 2012 6:44 PM, PDT | Alt Film Guide | See recent Alt Film Guide news »
Dark Shadows 2012 poster Tim Burton's Dark Shadows, a film version of the popular television series of the late '60s/early '70s opens on May 11. Please scroll down for the special-effects-laden, uncontrollably campy trailer. Now, are you old enough to remember Dark Shadows? No? Neither am I. All I can tell you is that Dark Shadows has nothing to do with The Munsters or The Addams Family — though don't feel bad if you get Burton's Dark Shadows reboot confused with either comedy series. Looking at the above poster, my first impression was: "Oh, Johnny Depp will be playing Morticia … in Dark Shadows? Something is off." The white-powdered faces also made me think of the Cullen Clan in the Twilight movies. I'm assuming that was intentional, so as to make clueless moviegoers think they'll be watching a sneak spring preview of Robert Pattinson and Kristen Stewart in Breaking Dawn Part 2. Or maybe not. »

Fictional hacks – from Maupassant to Larsson
23 February 2012 8:10 AM, PST | The Guardian - Film News | See recent The Guardian - Film News news »
Journalists have been glamorous social climbers and bumbling fools in fiction – sometimes they've even been feminists and righters of wrongs
Journalism is a glamorous trade in Guy de Maupassant's Bel Ami, as Declan Donnellan and Nick Ormerod's film adaptation (released in the Us next week and in the UK a week later) underlines by casting Robert Pattinson as Georges Duroy and Uma Thurman, Kristin Scott Thomas, Christina Ricci and Holly Grainger as women drawn to the rising Parisian reporter. As well as introducing him to them and assisting his progress as a social climber, working for La Vie Française gives him the power to manipulate or bring down ministers.
What he epitomises too, though, is a press that's sordid and shallow, advancing the personal ends of journalists and owners with no underlying ethical code. Writing talent and a lengthy building up of specialist knowledge aren't essential: Duroy owes »

Daniel Radcliffe Miffed: Deathly Hallows 2 Oscar Snub
8 February 2012 9:54 PM, PST | Alt Film Guide | See recent Alt Film Guide news »
Among other recent revelations and assertions ranging from the highly personal to the highly political, Daniel Radcliffe has publicly complained that Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows: Part 2, 2011's biggest worldwide blockbuster and the very last Harry Potter movie, is in the running in only three "technical" categories for the 2012 Academy Awards. (For the record, those are Best Art Direction, Best Makeup, and Best Visual Effects.) "I don't think the Oscars like commercial films, or kids' films, unless they're directed by Martin Scorsese," the former Harry Potter star remarked in an interview with Radio Times. "I was watching Hugo the other day and going, 'Why is this nominated and we're not?' I was slightly miffed. There's a certain amount of snobbery. It's kind of disheartening. I never thought I'd care. But it would've been nice to have some recognition, just for the hours put in." Hugo, which happens »
