Todd Haynes Returns To Features For 'Carol' With Cate Blanchett & Mia Wasikowska
22 May 2013 9:29 AM, PDT | The Playlist | See recent The Playlist news »
It's been six years since "Velvet Goldmine" and "Far From Heaven" helmer Todd Haynes last had a film in theaters -- the uneven, but intermittently transcendent Bob Dylan picture "I'm Not There." Haynes has been busy in the meantime, helming the awesome, Emmy-laden miniseries "Mildred Pierce," as well as an episode of "Enlightened," but we've missed him on the big screen, and so we're excited by Screen Daily's news that Haynes will direct a new film called "Carol." The film will reunite Haynes with his "I'm Not There" star Cate Blanchett, who'll star alongside her follow Australian Mia Wasikowska. Based on the novel by Patricia Highsmith about the relationship between an unhappy wife (Blanchett) and a twenty-something department store employee in 1950s New York, the project was previously to be directed by "Boy A" helmer John Crowley, but he's bowed out due to scheduling conflicts. There's no word on when it'll move forward, »

Todd Haynes to Direct Cate Blanchett & Mia Wasikowska in Carol
22 May 2013 | Comingsoon.net | See recent Comingsoon.net news »
Todd Haynes, the director behind films like Velvet Goldmine and I'm Not There , has signed on to direct Carol , Screen Daily reports. He replaces the previously-announced John Crowley. The project re-teams Haynes with his I'm Not There star Cate Blanchett as well as Mia Wasikowska ( Alice in Wonderland ) in the adaptation of Patricia Highsmith's 1952 novella "The Price of Salt." Adapted by Phyllis Nagy, the story of a lesbian romance in the '50s written by Highsmith (under the pseudonym Claire Morgan), is being produced by Elizabeth Karlsen and Stephen Woolley at Number 9 Films along with Film4 with filming scheduled to start in London and New York. The rather unprecedented homosexual love story--for the time in which it was written--follows the relationship »
Rumor: Jonathan Rhys Meyers In Talks For 'Star Wars Episode VII' Role
20 May 2013 6:25 AM, PDT | The Playlist | See recent The Playlist news »
Now "Star Trek Into Darkness" is in theaters (to somewhat underwhelming grosses), Jj Abrams attention will now move exclusively (well, excluding the dozens of projects in the works at his company Bad Robot -- read about those here) toward "Star Wars Episode VII," his much-anticipated renewal of the Other geek-beloved space franchise. And with the film due for release in the summer of 2015, we should start to hear about new casting for the series, beyond what we already know -- e.g. that original central trio of Mark Hamill, Harrison Ford and Carrie Fisher are returning in some degree. And while it's not official yet, word is coming in that the first new cast member might be an old collaborator of Abrams, as the normally-on-the-money Latino Review report that "The Tudors" star Jonathan Rhys Meyers is in talks to play a role in "Episode VII." Probably best-known for Todd Haynes' "Velvet Goldmine, »

Rhys Meyers to Be Cast in Next Star Wars Installment?
19 May 2013 11:42 PM, PDT | Alt Film Guide | See recent Alt Film Guide news »
Jonathan Rhys Meyers to star in Star Wars: Episode VII? Jonathan Rhys Meyers is "in talks" to star in J.J. Abrams’ Star Wars: Episode VII, according to Latino Review. Best known for his role as King Henry VIII in the Showtime series The Tudors, which also features upcoming Man of Steel Henry Cavill, Rhys Meyers has already been featured in one Abrams movie: Mission: Impossible III (2003), in which he supported Tom Cruise. (Photo: Jonathan Rhys Meyers in The Tudors.) At this stage, it’s unclear which role Jonathan Rhys Meyers would play in Star Wars: Episode VII, now a Walt Disney Studios production. The next installment in the highly popular franchise is reportedly to continue the Star Wars saga where Return of the Jedi left off. Having said that, in case Mark Hamill, Harrison Ford, Carrie Fisher, Billy Dee Williams, and Anthony Daniels (perhaps a little rustier?) are indeed returning to the Star Wars fold, »

Julianne Moore gets inside Jonathan Rhys Meyers' head in 6-Souls.
Julianne Moore (The Kids Are All Right), Jonathan Rhys Meyers (Velvet Goldmine) and Frances Conroy (TV’s American Horror Story) star in the 2012 psychological thriller film 6 Souls.
After the death of her husband, forensic psychiatrist Dr. Cara Harding’s (Mooore) faith in God has been shaken, but not her belief in science. In an attempt to open her up to accepting unexplainable psychiatric theories, her father introduces her to Adam (Meyers), a patient with multiple personalities, who takes on some of the physical characteristics of his other personalities. Cara quickly discovers that Adam’s personalities are murder victims, and the more she finds out about him and his past, the closer she and her loved ones come to becoming murder victims themselves.

Vintage Cinema, Endless Rewatch - The Devil's Backbone and Velvet Goldmine
9 May 2013 11:26 PM, PDT | Flickeringmyth | See recent Flickeringmyth news »
In the first of a new series, Flickering Myth's writing team discuss their all-time favourite piece of cinema alongside their most re-watchable film; first up is Helen Murdoch with The Devil's Backbone and Velvet Goldmine...
I was trying to think of my favourite film the other day and it came down to two choices – The Devil’s Backbone and Velvet Goldmine. One is universally considered a tremendous film, while the other is hated by almost everyone except me. This got me thinking about what your favourite film is compared to your most re-watchable film.
My Favourite Film – The Devil’s Backbone
The first time I saw a snippet of The Devil’s Backbone was in my A-Level Media class when we were discussing the importance of music to build tension. My lecturer showed the terrifying scene of the ghost Santi walking down a dark corridor, creeping ever so slowly towards orphan Carlos. »

April Showers... Poor Truman
30 April 2013 8:00 PM, PDT | FilmExperience | See recent FilmExperience news »
april showers & a tuesday top ten in one!
Do you ever think of The Truman Show (1998)? I really and truly loved it in 1998 naming it 'The Best Film of the Year!' to anyone who would listen. (This was in my pre Film Experience days of course... though it's hard to remember such a time).
My Top Ten Of 1998 - Unranked
Bulworth (Warren Beatty) Celebration / Festen (Thomas Vinterberg) Gods and Monsters (Bill Condon) High Art (Lisa Cholodenko) The Idiots (Lars von Trier) Living Out Loud (Richard Lagravenese) The Opposite of Sex (Don Roos) The Thin Red Line (Terence Malick) The Truman Show (Peter Weir) Velvet Goldmine (Todd Haynes)
...with Central Station and Shakespeare in Love just outside the top ten though I'm always considering reinstating them. They were both once on the actual list (The Idiots and the Malick I saw a little later). I haven't seen any of them »

Top Ten 1990s
9 April 2013 8:50 PM, PDT | FilmExperience | See recent FilmExperience news »
I promised longtime Tfe super fan Ryan that I would one day write up a big top ten of the 90s piece although This Is Not It. This is like those tossed back "shots" of past decades wherein we tell each other our favorites. I'll tell you my ten favorites which are wildly unstable and could be replaced by anything in the "with apologies to" list if I'd ranked on another day. Well, not the top three. I mean... let's not get crazy.
The Piano (Jane Campion) Boogie Nights (Paul Thomas Anderson) Thelma & Louise (Ridley Scott) Heavenly Creatures (Peter Jackson) Beauty & The Beast (Trousdale & Wise) All About My Mother (Pedro Almodóvar) Trois Coleurs Trilogy (Krystof Kzielowski) T2: Judgment Day (James Cameron) Fargo (The Coen Bros) Pulp Fiction (Quentin Tarantino)
Most of them weren't even nominated for Best Picture. (Sigh). Oscar is so...
With apologies to 15 more. Let's call it »

Surprise Podcast Attack!
For this impromptu conversation, Nick Davis, Joe Reid and Nathaniel R (c'est moi) travel back in time to the 1990s to talk VHS, Jurassic Park, Box Office vs. Lasting Power, Charactor Actors, and Desired Images (on account of Nick's book!) like Brad Pitt or Velvet Goldmine.
In addition to the time travelling we check in with new movies like the documentary Leviathan, the Ryan Gosling/Bradley Cooper drama The Place Beyond the Pines and Tyler Perry's Temptation.

The 13 Most Gratuitous Nude Scenes in Movies
2 April 2013 7:00 AM, PDT | NextMovie | See recent NextMovie news »
Warning: Somewhat Nsfw.
Once upon a time (read: the '80s), movie fans could count on the fact that at some point, someone in the movie would randomly drop trou or rip off their shirt for no apparent reason whatsoever. And frankly, it was great. After all, why worry about things like plot or character development when you can have some good old-fashioned gratuitous nudity instead?
Nowadays, of course, such moments are rare, usually happening only for comic relief or in grade-z, video on demand dreck. Thanks to Internet porn, there's kind of no reason for movies to bother, right?
Once in a while, though, there's still a shining light — or shining headlights, if you will — such as Rosario Dawson's turn in the new Danny Boyle thriller "Trance," which already has people buzzing and whipping out their iPhones to grab a quick screenshot. So with that in mind, we »

Introducing... The Desiring Image
24 March 2013 12:50 PM, PDT | FilmExperience | See recent FilmExperience news »
We interrupt our regularly scheduled programming to shill for someone else's. I am thrilled to point you in the direction of "The Desiring Image," a new book on contemporary queer cinema which is available to pre-order now. The author is my great friend / podcast mate Nick Davis and he's been working on this book for nearly as long as I've known him. In addition to covergirl Maxwell Demon (Jonathan Rhys-Meyers) from Todd Haynes' hallucinatory eye candy abundance (better known as Velvet Goldmine), Nick discusses Beau Travail, The Watermelon Woman, Shortbus, and Brother to Brother. I'm dying to imbibe the queer readings of David Cronenberg's Dead Ringers and Naked Lunch. I haven't yet read the book but Nick writes beautifully and his sense of humor is rare in academic writing. I am ordering my copy right now.
[Moments Later...] Done!

'Godzilla' Targeting Cranston and Olsen, Bowie and Pop Biopic in the Works, and Nic Cage Sports a Beard for 'Joe'
7 February 2013 7:21 AM, PST | Rope of Silicon | See recent Rope Of Silicon news »
1.) With the release of Monsters director Gareth Edwards' "gritty" Godzilla reboot just 15 months away, it's hard to believe we still don't have anything official in terms of casting. The film is currently awaiting a rewrite from Frank Darabont (The Green Mile, The Shawshank Redemption), while simultaneously trying to build its cast in time for a March start date, though no deals will officially be made until the script is completed. The artist formerly known as Aaron Johnson was previously discussed as a possible lead, and it seems he is still in talks for the role. The latest news has Elizabeth Olsen (Martha Marcy May Marlene) and Argo's Bryan Cranston in talks to co-star. There are no character details of yet, but expect something more in the coming days as Legendary Pictures only has a few weeks to pull this thing together. Variety 2.) Matt Smith ("Doctor Who") has landed »

David Bowie, Iggy Pop film 'Lust For Life' in works
7 February 2013 12:39 AM, PST | Digital Spy | See recent Digital Spy - Movie News news »
A David Bowie and Iggy Pop movie biopic is in the works.
Lust for Life will chart the famous friendship between the two musicians, according to The Hollywood Reporter.
Death of a President director Gabriel Range is attached to helm the film, which will be produced by Altered Image and Egoli Tossell Film.
Lust for Life will centre on the period in the 1970s when Bowie and Pop lived together in Berlin and produced their seminal albums Idiot, Lust for Life and Low.
The story of the pair's glam rock lifestyle inspired Todd Hayne's unofficial 1998 biopic Velvet Goldmine, which starred Jonathan Rhys Meyers and Ewan McGregor in roles based on Bowie and Pop.
Bowie recently returned with 'Where Are We Now?' - his first new single in a decade. Watch the video below: »

Anthony Hopkins, Helen Mirren (r.) and Scarlett Johansson make a toast in Hitchcock.
Anthony Hopkins (Thor), Helen Mirren (The Debt), and Scarlett Johansson (Marvel’s The Avengers) star alongside Danny Huston (The Warrior’s Way), Toni Collette (Velvet Goldmine), Jessica Biel (Total Recall), Michael Stuhlbarg (Men in Black 3) and James D’Arcy (W.E.) in Hitchcock, a 2012 biographical drama about the great filmmaker Alfred, er, you-know-who, and the making of one of his most iconic films, Psycho.
In the movie, the already-legendary Hollywood filmmaker Alfred Hitchcock (Hopkins) is plagued by both a reckless ego and nagging self-doubt when he becomes obsessed with a grisly murder story that the studios won’t back. Determined to make the film, Hitchcock risks his reputation, his home and even the love of his wife Alma (Mirren), as he »
