Visual Index ~ The Talented Mr Ripley's Best Shot(s)
15 May 2013 4:22 PM, PDT | FilmExperience | See recent FilmExperience news »
For this week's edition of Hit Me With Your Best Shot, we stayed another summer in Italy. We didn't follow an American spinster this time but a young shapeshifter known as The Talented Mr Ripley. He was sent to Italy to fetch trustfund baby Dickie Greenleaf but he likes Dickie's life so much he fetches it for himself instead.
Outside the film's actual narrative, based on the famous novel by Patricia Highsmith (whose work is oft-adapted - The Two Faces of January is next) things were just as dramatic. The movie was a Prestige Event since it was Anthony Minghella's (Rip) follow-up to his Best Picture winner The English Patient (1996). It wasn't quite a slam dunk with Oscar, despite the pedigree and the quality (I prefer it to Patient, myself), though it sure was a thing of beauty. The Talented Mr Ripley featured one of the most impressive collections »

Liam Gallagher is mad for plants
15 May 2013 1:03 AM, PDT | Monsters and Critics | See recent Monsters and Critics news »
Liam Gallagher loves gardening. The Beady Eye frontman has asked for tickets to a VIP preview day of the Chelsea Flower Show - an annual gardening extravaganza held in London - on the same day Britain's Queen Elizabeth is due at the event, which runs from May 21-25. A source told The Sun newspaper: 'Liam is one of the most unlikely guests in the event's history. 'His rampaging days are definitely over - which is a relief to organisers given the importance of some guests.' Liam, 40, will rub shoulders will several other green-fingered musicians at the event including rocker Rod Stewart, Beatles legend Ringo Starr and singer Lily Allen. The singer - who famously sang 'Maybe, »
New 2013 TV Series Breakdown: NBC
13 May 2013 11:01 AM, PDT | Dark Horizons | See recent Dark Horizons news »
The Fall TV Season presentations for all the new network shows take place this week with the first announced today. Here's a full breakdown of which concepts have made the final list over on NBC.
The Peacock did not have a good year. Only one of its new shows, "Revolution," was a true hit. Another, "Chicago Fire," got renewed by the skin of its teeth whilst the fate of a third, "Hannibal," remains uncertain.
None of last year's new comedies survived, neither did two mid-season dramas, which leaves the network with some big holes to fill. Three dramas and three comedies will debut in the Fall ahead of three more dramas and two comedies mid-season. Two further dramas and a comedy are presently unscheduled.
Several other pilots didn't make the final cut and won't become series including the high-profile Charlize Theron-produced drama about the Hatfields and McCoys, the Bruckheimer-produced »

For decades, ex-government agent Raymond “Red” Reddington (James Spader) has been one of the FBI’s most wanted fugitives. Brokering shadowy deals for criminals across the globe, Red was known by many as “The Concierge of Crime.”
Now, he’s mysteriously surrendered to the FBI with an explosive offer: he will help catch a long-thought-dead terrorist, Ranko Zamani, »

‘Game Of Thrones’ Star Richard Madden To Play The Prince In ‘Cinderella’
8 May 2013 8:52 PM, PDT | LatinoReview | See recent LatinoReview news »
Variety reports that Game Of Thrones star Richard Madden has signed onto Disney’s new live-action Cinderella film to play the Prince.
Lily James, of Downtown Abbey fame will play Cinderella and Cate Blanchett (Elizabeth, Lotr Trilogy) will play the evil stepmother.
The film is directed by Kenneth Branagh (Hamlet, Thor) who places an emphasis on acting. The casting is telling, because while these may not be the most recognizable stars, they are all well-respected for their acting abilities.
Actor Madden will also appear in Discovery Channel’s Klondike, a six-hour miniseries about the Canadian Gold Rush, based on the novel Gold Diggers: Striking It Rich in the Klondike, by Charlotte Gray.

The Eye of the Storm – review
4 May 2013 4:03 PM, PDT | The Guardian - Film News | See recent The Guardian - Film News news »
Reading on mobile? See the trailer here
The cantankerous, complex, gay Patrick White published his lengthy The Eye of the Storm in 1973, the year he became the first (and still the only) Australian to win the Nobel prize for literature. Adapted by Judy Morris, it's the first major film based on a White novel, and clearly a labour of love for Fred Schepisi, whose first Australian movie this is since A Cry in the Dark, his underrated movie about the Lindy Chamberlain case, an event that touched on various themes of place and national identity that are to be found in White.
It's the story of a rich, egocentric old matriarch, Elizabeth Hunter (Charlotte Rampling) and her two expatriate children, Sir Basil (Geoffrey Rush), an actor living in London, and daughter Dorothy (Judy Davis), a divorced French princess living in Paris, who returns to inherit her wealth. Both are in »

3 May 2013 11:23 AM, PDT | Digital Spy | See recent Digital Spy - TV news news »
The first trailer for the BBC's forthcoming adaptation of The White Queen has been released online.
The ten part drama - based on Philippa Gregory's series of historical novels The Cousins' War - focuses on the women caught up in the battle for the English throne during the War of the Roses.
Swedish actress Rebecca Ferguson plays Elizabeth Woodville, a commoner and wife of a House of Lancaster (red) soldier.
When she is left widowed, she conspires to become consort to the opposing House of York's Edward IV (Max Irons) and rises to the position of the reigning 'White Queen'.
The production also stars James Frain as the House of Lancaster's Lord Warwick and Amanda Hale as Lady Margaret Beaufort, who is determined to do whatever it takes to see her son Henry Tudor crowned king.
The White Queen is due to air in the UK on BBC One this summer, »
Queen Elizabeth visits injured war heroes
3 May 2013 8:02 AM, PDT | Monsters and Critics | See recent Monsters and Critics news »
Britain's Queen Elizabeth has paid a visit to injured war heroes. The monarch and her husband, the Duke of Edinburgh, tour a tour of military recovery centre Headley Court in Surrey yesterday (02.05.13), where they were able to speak to some of the nation's bravest men. Nick Beighton, 31, from the Corps of Royal Engineers - who competed in the 2012 Paralympics - told the Daily Mail newspaper: 'It's a real honour to host the Queen here. She's our monarch and we all fight in the armed forces under her banner. 'It's great that she's supporting all the work the staff do.' The queen also had a reunion with triple amputee, 26-year-old Guardsman Dave Watson, who she once danced »
The Eye of the Storm – review
3 May 2013 3:34 AM, PDT | The Guardian - Film News | See recent The Guardian - Film News news »
The acting's great - but there's a smaller, fiercer movie trying to burst out of this drama about a tyrannical woman on her deathbed
Somewhere inside this baggy, stately, beautifully acted movie there's something smaller and fiercer busting to get out.
Veteran film-maker Fred Schepisi has directed an adaptation of the 1973 novel by Australian Nobel laureate Patrick White. Charlotte Rampling cuts a Miss Havisham-type figure as Elizabeth Hunter, a brilliant and demanding woman slowly dying – and succumbing to morphine-fuelled flashbacks – as she summons her grownup children to her elaborately furnished Sydney home to impose her caprices on them one final time, torturing them with suspicions about what they can expect in her will.
Her putative heirs – to her neurotic personality, if not necessarily her cash – are the successful and conceited stage actor Basil, played by Geoffrey Rush, and the unhappy Dorothy (Judy Davis), still addressed as "Princesse" after a failed marriage to some European aristocrat. »

Creators Joseph Weisberg and Joel Fields Talk The Americans Season Finale, Crafting the Cliffhanger, Season 2, and More
2 May 2013 7:53 PM, PDT | Collider.com | See recent Collider.com news »
The Americans is FX’s period drama about the complex and complicated marriage of two Kgb spies posing as Americans in suburban Washington, D.C., shortly after Ronald Reagan was elected President. Philip (Matthew Rhys) and Elizabeth (Keri Russell) have a network of spies and informants under their control, while their two children – 13-year-old Paige (Holly Taylor) and 10-year-old Henry (Keidrich Sellati) – know nothing about their parents’ true identity. Even though Philip’s growing affinity for America’s values and way of life leads to tension with Elizabeth, the two must work together to keep the FBI from discovering who they really are. During this recent interview to look back on Season 1 and ahead to Season 2, executive producers Joseph Weisberg and Joel Fields talked about the origin of the series, finding the perfect lead actors, determining how much of a cliffhanger they wanted to end on, where they’re hoping »

‘The Americans’ Season Finale – Wars Without Tears
2 May 2013 4:06 PM, PDT | BuzzFocus.com | See recent BuzzFocus.com news »
The first season of The Americans came to a thrilling end in “The Colonel,” a gratifying resolver that still left plenty to ponder for Season 2.
Our favorite Directorate S agents were given two separate orders, Elizabeth (Keri Russell) was to meet the Colonel (Victor Slezak), with intelligence on President Regan’s Star Wars missile defense system, while Phillip (Matthew Rhys) was ordered to retrieve a the latest recording from Defense Secretary Caspar Weinberger’s study bug, which audiences learned from last week, was compromised by Agent Gaad’s (Richard Thomas) task force.
Orders came from Claudia (Margo Martindale) in another icy exchange with Elizabeth, sparking suspicion from her and Phillip, that the meeting with the Colonel was most likely, a setup due to its sudden urgency and level of intelligence exchanged. It was finally agreed upon that they carry out the orders as planned–until Phillip changes the plans at the last minute, »

'The Americans' Unites Its Spy and Domestic Sides for a Finale With Car Chases and an Emotional Heart
2 May 2013 12:10 PM, PDT | Indiewire Television | See recent Indiewire Television news »
In its first season, FX's "The Americans" has offered up a cracking spy story that's steadily upped its stakes until last night's finale had as its centerpiece a white-knuckle sequence in which Kgb operatives Elizabeth (Keri Russell) and Phil (Matthew Rhys) took on a pair of missions with a high likelihood of blowing their cover as D.C. suburbanites. They went in fully expecting that one of them would end up in the jail and the other fleeing the country with their kids -- a fate narrowly avoided by a tense encounter with the FBI that led to a shootout and car chase, Elizabeth coming away with a bullet in her side. And it's a sign of how good the show is -- it has, I'd argue, managed to outdo the taut first season of the contemporary but similarly espionage-centric "Homeland" -- that the action sequences weren't half as heart-stopping »

The Americans FX: Producers speak out about Season 1 finale, Season 2

The Americans ended its Season 1 run Wednesday night with a suspenseful, action-packed finale, “The Colonel.” It was a lot easier to watch knowing that the engrossing Cold War drama, which follows Kgb spies Philip (Matthew Rhys) and Elizabeth (Keri Russell) living deep undercover near Washington, D.C., and posing as a married couple, has been renewed for Season 2. Executive producers and writers Joe Weisberg and Joel Fields, who were very happy to get out of the writers room for a while, spoke with reporters this week about the finale and where the show might go from here: Warning: The [...]

Michael Mann's 'Agincourt' Still Alive, Gets A New Writer
2 May 2013 9:37 AM, PDT | The Playlist | See recent The Playlist news »
Though he’s set to shoot his first film in three years this month, the untitled cyber theft thriller starring Chris Hemsworth, Michael Mann is still keeping an eye on what comes next. Originally floated as his next potential film in 2010, Mann started developing “Agincourt” with a script by “Elizabeth” and “The Tudors” writer Michael Hirst before bringing on “Rko 281” director Benjamin Ross for a rewrite. Now Deadline reports that a new writer has been brought on in the form of Stuart Hazeldine (the writer behind Alex Proyas' scuttled take on “Paradise Lost” and co-writer of Moses movie “Gods and Kings”). Adapted from the Bernard Cornwell novel, the film retells the famous battle between Henry V’s English Army and the French Army, and focuses on “a young man with a death sentence who is saved when his skills with the bow catch the attention of the king. »

The Eye of the Storm Review
2 May 2013 4:00 AM, PDT | HeyUGuys.co.uk | See recent HeyUGuys news »
The eponymous Patrick White novel of which The Eye of the Storm is based upon, won the Nobel Prize in 1973, and has since been considered ‘unfilmable’. However such a myth has been dispelled somewhat, as Fred Schepisi’s first feature for close to a decade makes for a delectable visual experience, enhanced by a provocative score and a trio of immense lead performances. Though with the actors on board and director at the helm, you can’t help but feel that this remains slightly unsatisfying.
We enter in to the final weeks of the life of wealthy Elizabeth Hunter (Charlotte Rampling), as the influential and affluent mother of two is on her death bed, waiting impatiently for her children Basil (Geoffrey Rush) and Dorothy (Judy Davis) to arrive. Having dictated much of her offspring’s lives, this ageing socialite is now dictating her very own death, alienating her children one final time before passing. »

'Americans' Star Matthew Rhys On His 'Porn Identity'
1 May 2013 8:20 PM, PDT | Huffington Post | See recent Huffington Post news »
It's hard not to look at the array of cover identities Matthew Rhys has used on the FX network spy drama "The Americans" and not conclude that they should star in a Web spinoff called "The Porn Identity."
"That's brilliant!" Rhys said with a laugh, when pitched the idea.
We actually did get into a reasonably non-silly discussion of identity and how Rhys approached the theme of assimilation within the context of the drama, in which he and Keri Russell play Russian spies posing as American suburbanites. But we'll get to that after Rhys divulges the details on some of the secret identities he's used on the show.
Rhys thought a lot about the backstories of Philip and Elizabeth, but he also devoted a great deal of time to thinking up histories for his various undercover getups.
"You know how it is, there's so much tedium on a set that »

The Americans Bosses on Changing Family Dynamics, Claudia's Future and Season 2 Plans

If you have yet to watch Wednesday’s season finale of The Americans, avert your eyes now. Everyone else, please proceed…
The Americans said dasvidania for the season on Wednesday night with a tense, nail-biting car chase.
While Elizabeth and Philip managed to escape the FBI, the former did so with a bullet to the stomach. Later, on an operating table, the recovering Mrs. Jennings told her hubby to come home. Meanwhile, daughter Paige did some snooping of her own, checking out the laundry room where her mother claimed to be folding clothes in the middle of the night.

Intel On The Finale Of 'The Americans' And What's Next For Its Spies
1 May 2013 8:06 PM, PDT | Huffington Post | See recent Huffington Post news »
Spoiler Alert! Don't read this interview unless you've seen "The Colonel," the Season 1 finale of FX's "The Americans."
Watching "The Americans" evolve over the course of the show's first season has been a gratifying process. It not only provided Keri Russell, who gave a brilliantly calibrated performance as Soviet spy Elizabeth Jennings, with an opportunity to blow away any preconceptions that might have lingered in the minds of fans of "Felicity," it also elicited a terrifically subtle performance from Matthew Rhys, who played her husband, Philip, with quiet intensity and a broodingly romantic air. And far from being an intellectual exercise in Soviet-u.S. gamesmanship, the show also provided an array of fight scenes, car chases and undercover identities that proved, once and for all, that Soviet wig technology of the '80s was far more advanced than anyone knew.
