Hatfields & McCoys: TV Review
25 May 2012 2:07 PM, PDT | The Hollywood Reporter | See recent The Hollywood Reporter news »
With History feeling the urge of pretty much every other cable channel -- to get into the scripted business -- it makes sense it would choose historical fiction. However, the six-hour miniseries Hatfields & McCoys, starring Kevin Costner and Bill Paxton, is not, creatively speaking, the greatest start History could have hoped for. Photos: THR & History Host a Special Screening of 'Hatfields & McCoys' The network, once famous for Hitler documentaries and now for such unscripted hits as Ice Road Truckers and Pawn Stars, already has greenlighted its first scripted series, Vikings, from Michael Hirst (The Tudors, Elizabeth), set for

Stephen Woolley and Elizabeth Karisen of Number 9 Films produce and HanWay Films are selling the film at this year's Cannes Film Festival. Film4 are financing and co-developing.

John Edwards Trial: Will Rielle Hunter Testify?
14 May 2012 12:05 PM, PDT | PEOPLE.com | See recent PEOPLE.com news »
She's the witness everyone is anxiously awaiting at the John Edwards trial. The courtroom is packed daily with anticipation, with talk of setting up an overflow room for extra reporters if she appears. Rielle Hunter, the mistress with whom Edwards has a child, has been at the center of his campaign corruption trial, but so far has been an invisible presence - only spoken about by other witnesses. As the defense for former presidential candidate begins its case, lawyers are faced with whether to call Hunter as a witness, a decision both fraught with risk but offering a potential windfall. »

James Bond to be knighted by Queen Elizabeth?
2 May 2012 5:00 AM, PDT | Monsters and Critics | See recent Monsters and Critics news »
James Bond is to be knighted by Britain's Queen Elizabeth in new movie 'Skyfall'. The spy character - who is played by Daniel Craig - will receive a knighthood in the picture for his services to the UK, and the queen is reported to have even filmed a cameo in the Sam Mendes-directed film. A source told The Evening Standard: 'Daniel Craig was here in black tie one morning in early April. Dame Judi Dench was also here, and the talk of the Palace was that Bond was going to be knighted that morning.' It has previously been claimed Bond arrives at the palace in London after a request from the queen, who then asks him to »
Universal 100 – London Location Tour
30 April 2012 8:46 AM, PDT | HeyUGuys.co.uk | See recent HeyUGuys news »
As a man who spends most of his time in dark rooms, staring at a screen and ignoring the people around him, it would be unfair for me to pretend I’m some sort of expert on social convention. That said, I think it would be fair to describe the atmosphere as a little awkward, as our sizeable group of journalists, publicists and tour guides was confronted by the chap whose house we’d been photographing.
We’d been on a tour of locations used by Universal Studios films, and this startlingly pink house, our fourth stop of the day, featured briefly in Love Actually as the home of Kiera Knightly’s character. It seemed like as good a place to stop as any just minutes before, but now, as our tour guide explained the significance of the property to the oblivious, and somewhat confused homeowner, I began to doubt that, »

Andrew Young testifies in John Edwards trial
25 April 2012 7:50 AM, PDT | Pop2it | See recent Pop2it news »
The campaign fund fraud trial is underway in North Carolina for former presidential candidate John Edwards. The two sides have started framing the case more as John Edwards v. former aide Andrew Young, who helped cover up the affair Edwards had with Rielle Hunter and subsequent child born from that affair.
Tuesday (April 24) Young testified for the government as to his involvement in the cover up. The testimony by Young for the prosecution comes with the hope that he himself will not be prosecuted for the cover up.
The cover up plan, according to Young's testimony, included Young claiming he was actually the father of Rielle Hunter's baby in order to protect Edwards. Young also claims Edwards asked him to let Hunter move in with his family in North Carolina where she was a demanding house guest, according to CNN.

John Edwards Called Mistress Rielle Hunter a 'Crazy Slut,' Says Witness
24 April 2012 12:00 PM, PDT | PEOPLE.com | See recent PEOPLE.com news »
When John Edwards learned that Rielle Hunter was pregnant with his child, he reacted with disbelief - and a verbal swipe at his mistress, a witness testified Tuesday. "She's a 'crazy slut,' " former aide Andrew Young says Edwards told him. Testifying Tuesday in the second day of Edwards's criminal trial in Greensboro, N.C., Young recalled delivering the news to Edwards in the summer of 2007 after Hunter called Young at home. Describing his phone conversation with Edwards, Young testified, "He was very concerned. He was angry."

John Edwards' ex-aide Andrew Young under fire in trial

Visit msnbc.com for breaking news, world news, and news about the economy
The John Edwards trial got underway Monday (April 23) in Greensboro, N.C. and legal analysts are already saying the face of the trial has changed - it's not so much the United States v. John Edwards as it is John Edwards v. Andrew Young.
Young was an aide on Edwards campaign who was one of the key players in the cover-up of the Rielle Hunter affair and subsequent birth of her daughter Quinn, who is Edwards' daughter. The defense is claiming Young pocketed most of the $725,000 used in the cover-up instead of Edwards using campaign donations strictly to hide the affair from the press, as the prosecution is claiming.
The prosecution is also alleging that Edwards asked Young to claim he (Young) was the actual father of Rielle's baby, while the defense claims this was Young's idea »

How to polish your screenplay: notes from Mahindra–Sundance Screenwriters Lab
12 April 2012 10:39 PM, PDT | DearCinema.com | See recent DearCinema.com news »
Vikas Chandra was selected for the inaugural edition of Mumbai Mantra—Sundance Institute Screenwriters Lab in India for his script ‘Toothache’. He, along with seven other screenplay writers, participated in a 5 day- workshop in Lonavla. Vikas Chandra sums up his learning from the workshop in this article:
Your donkeys are not carrying enough load!
In the beginning I had no clue on how to prepare or even what to expect from the lab. Worse, I was gripped with the fear that in no time I would be exposed as a writer!
I expected to be bombarded with questions I had no answers to, at least not at that moment. With such apprehensions, I approached my first session, which was with Audrey Wells.
Thankfully – nothing of the above happened.
We started talking about the central character in my script. Why did I choose my protagonist? What do I like about her? »

Mark Kermode's DVD round-up

Las Acacias; Another Earth; Switch; The Big Year; Breaking Wind Part 1
No matter how spectacular, expensive or star-studded Hollywood blockbusters may be, there will always be vibrant, inventive, international gems that consistently prove that less is more. Very little happens in Pablo Giorgelli's debut feature Las Acacias (2011, Verve, 12), a pitch-perfect, low-key road movie about a long-distance lorry driver (Germán de Silva) who agrees to transport a young woman (Hebe Duarte) from Paraguay to Buenos Aires, only to discover that she has a five-month-old child in tow.
Initially dismayed by the prospect of the overcrowded journey ahead, loner Rubén gradually warms to his charges, and a hesitant relationship emerges between him and Jacinta. Casting an established actor (De Silva) opposite a talented newcomer (Duarte), Giorgelli conjures an extraordinary balance between an air of unaffected naturalism and a precisely defined, acutely observed dissection of human interaction. The result is an absolutely »

[Review] The Antics Roadshow
7 April 2012 7:00 AM, PDT | The Film Stage | See recent The Film Stage news »
Too often we dismiss good art because of expectations, those trifling bits of anticipation we drag around and throw in front of a film’s opening credits that will assuredly color any opinions we have of the film itself. The Antics Roadshow is a perfect example of this phenomenon. It is the second directorial effort from Banksy, the renegade anarchist street artist who turns advertisements into on their heads, make barren walls into political satire, and takes the opportunity of doing a couch gag on The Simpsons and using it to show the arduous work dispatched by an uncaring multinational conglomerate to line their pockets with money from selling more Bart swag.
Banksy’s first foray into film direction, the excellent, perplexing, and fun Exit Through the Gift Shop, was less a personal voyage through the eyes of Banksy and more of his retelling of another person’s story. Taking footage filmed by Thierry Guetta, »

Natalie Portman, Jean Dujardin Photo: Oscar 2012

Jean Dujardin, Natalie Portman In the above photo, Natalie Portman looks considerably more comfortable next to Best Actor Academy Award winner Jean Dujardin than in this other Portman-Dujardin picture. The duo posed together backstage at the 2012 Oscar ceremony, which took place at Hollywood and Highland Center on February 26. (Photo: Richard D. Salyer / ©A.M.P.A.S.) Jean Dujardin was the first Frenchman to win an Oscar (though Gérard Depardieu, Charles Boyer, and Maurice Chevalier had tried in the past). Dujardin's competitors were Demián Bichir for Chris Weitz' A Better Life, Brad Pitt for Bennett Miller's Moneyball, Gary Oldman for Tomas Alfredson's Tinker Tailor Soldier Spy, and George Clooney for Alexander Payne's The Descendants. Last year, Portman was seen in the critical and box-office disaster Your Highness, opposite James Franco; the Marvel movie Thor, directed by Kenneth Branagh and starring Chris Hemsworth in the title role »

The Conversation: Does it Matter if James Bond Enjoys a Heineken Instead of a Martini?
3 April 2012 7:15 PM, PDT | Movies.com | See recent Movies.com news »
The countdown to the next James Bond movie, Skyfall, is on (well, not totally on until it gets a Movies.com countdown column), what with first look production stills and clips and Bond girl video blogs and such. There's still a lot under wraps for now, but two things are newly known this week: 007 (as played by Daniel Craig) will personally launch the 2012 Summer Olympics this July in a short film called "The Arrival," which also involves Queen Elizabeth; and in both advertisements and the film itself, Bond will enjoy and shill for Heineken as part of a pricey product placement. Before you go crazy, let it be clarified that the iconic agent will only pass up his signature martini for the beer brand in one scene. Also, as pointed...

James Bond Set To Open Summer Olympics, Drink Heineken
2 April 2012 2:25 PM, PDT | MTV Movies Blog | See recent MTV Movies Blog news »
Double O agent James Bond is not simply another member of her majesty's secret service. He's also a talented ad man.
Two different news items today profiled the more promotional side of 007.
First it was announced that Daniel Craig would participate in an upcoming short film as Bond to help open the 2012 Summer Olympics Games in London. Danny Boyle, the games' creative director, will helm the short, which takes place inside Buckingham Palace. Queen Elizabeth herself had to grant special permission to allow filming inside her royal residence.
The short is said to involve the Queen delivering a special mission to Bond personally: open the games. From there, Bond will reportedly sky dive into the Olympic stadium.
It's possible that Queen Elizabeth may make a cameo in the short, but it's being kept completely under wraps.
Bond also made headlines today by forgoing his usual shaken martini, at least for one round. »

Danny Boyle Directing A James Bond Short Film With Daniel Craig For The London Olympics
2 April 2012 1:57 PM, PDT | cinemablend.com | See recent Cinema Blend news »
I would love to see Danny Boyle tackle a feature length James Bond film. Sure, he doesn't have much experience in the action genre, but over the course of his career he has shown that he has never afraid of trying something new, be it the bloody horror of 28 Days Later, the trapped-in-one-location thriller 127 Hours, or the Bollywood-inspired, Oscar-winning phenom Slumdog Millionaire. But while we may never get to see Boyle take on a full 007 adventure, at the very least we will get a preview of what that could look like. As part of the 2012 Olympic Games, which will be held this summer in London, Boyle will be making a short film starring Daniel Craig in character as James Bond. The whole thing was started when Craig was invited to Buckingham Palace and met Queen Elizabeth, and was asked to shoot an intro for the games. Titled The Arrival, the »
