The Wachowski's Jupiter Ascending to Be a Trilogy Starring Mila Kunis & Channing Tatum
31 May 2012 2:46 PM, PDT | Reelzchannel.com | See recent ReelzChannel news »
After revolutionizing the sci-fi genre with The Matrix in 1999, everyone expected that Andy and Lana Wachowski would build a movie legacy to rival the likes of visionary filmmakers George Lucas or Steven Spielberg. But the diminishing quality of the two Matrix sequels and the mediocre (V For Vendetta) and truly dismal (Speed Racer) adaptations that followed left many wondering whether the siblings were already spent.
To top The Matrix may be an insurmountable task, but that doesn't mean that the Wachowskis are going to stop trying. The duo is currently in post-production on Cloud Atlas, an ambitious adaptation of David Mitchell's award-winning 2004 sci-fi novel that they co-wrote and and co-directed with German filmmaker Tom Tykwer (Run Lola Run). It's comprised of six interconnected storylines, each taking place in different locations and time periods.
The Wachowskis have also been developing an original sci-fi movie as a follow-up to Cloud Atlas »

Carnahan’s Continue, Death Wish Forthcoming
31 May 2012 6:00 AM, PDT | Boomtron | See recent Boomtron news »
What did you think of The Grey?
Me, I liked it a fair bit, even if the wolf stuff was really kind of nonsense. Liam Neeson brought the grizzled angst, though, that cannot be denied. Aside from providing some real survivalist thrills, the best thing to come out of the success of The Grey has to be the increase in writer/director Joe Carnahan’s Hollywood stroke.
Carnahan burst onto the scene writing and directing the universally-loved Narc (2002) starring Ray Liotta and Jason Patric, a low-key, downbeat crime thriller that’s well worth your time if you’ve never seen it, worth it for Patric’s sweet handlebar moustache alone (it’s really more of a Fu Manchu–ed.). Smokin’ Aces followed, a film that, despite some great performances all round, ultimately proved more style than substance. 2010’s The A-Team was up next, a film that I still haven’t »

As 'Battleship' Flops: Ten Other Memorable Box-Office Bombs
21 May 2012 10:43 AM, PDT | The Playlist | See recent The Playlist news »
To have one giant money-losing tentpole is unfortunate. To have two starts to look careless, and that's what's happened to Taylor Kitsch. The actor, who broke out on TV's "Friday Night Lights," was seen as Hollywood's next great hope, picked out to star in two great big blockbusters with a combined cost of half-a-billion dollars. But when "John Carter" arrived in March, the film wildly underperformed, with Disney taking a hit of at least $100 million on the project. And after this weekend, it looks that his other film, "Battleship," is going to lose similar amounts.
The film, Universal & Hasbro's adaptation of the board game, directed by "Hancock" helmer Peter Berg, had taken the unusual step of opening everywhere else in the world six weeks ahead of the U.S, in the hope of bagging lucrative foreign coin and building buzz for the U.S. release. But while the film did ok abroad, »

The Wachowski's Cloud Atlas and Robert Rodriguez's Sin City: A Dame to Kill For Get Release Dates
18 May 2012 2:39 PM, PDT | Reelzchannel.com | See recent ReelzChannel news »
The release dates of two highly anticipated genre movies have finally been announced.
First up is Cloud Atlas, an adaptation of David Mitchell's award-winning 2004 sci-fi novel that was co-written and co-directed by Andy and Lana Wachowski, (The Matrix) and German filmmaker Tom Tykwer (Run Lola Run). Warner Bros. (WB) initially passed on Cloud Atlas, feeling that it was unaffordable at $170 million, but the Wachowskis and Tykwer found foreign backers and ended up making it for $101 million — thanks, in part, to Tom Hanks taking a smaller fee for his participation — and WB picked up North American distribution rights at Cannes for "about $20 million" despite the movie's lengthy 2:44 running time exceeding the contractural running time of 2:30. According to IndieWire, producer Grant Hill revealed that WB "plans to open the movie stateside December 6" and may screen it at the Berlin International Film Festival to make it eligible for Oscar consideration. »

Cloud Atlas Is Nearly 3 Hours Long, Gets December Release Date
18 May 2012 11:00 AM, PDT | GeekTyrant | See recent GeekTyrant news »
I've never read David Mitchell's Cloud Atlas, but most people assumed the book was unfilmable. Well, the Wachowski siblings and Run Lola Run director Tom Tykwer decided to challenge that assumption, and made a $100 million adaptation of it that's set for release later this year. You may have heard of some of the film's stars: Tom Hanks, Halle Berry, Hugh Grant, Hugo Weaving, Jim Sturgess, Susan Sarandon...just a few up-and-comers trying to make it big in the industry.
Anne Thompson did some digging at the Cannes Film Festival, and found out a couple of interesting facts about the film. First off, the version that screened at Cannes was 2 hours and 44 minutes long, which Warner Bros. President Jeff Robinov "approved even though it exceeded the contractual two and half hours." Makes sense - the story follows six different stories in six different times and places that intersect somehow (part »

Wachowskis’ ‘Cloud Atlas’ To Set Sail in December 2012
18 May 2012 9:53 AM, PDT | ScreenRant.com | See recent Screen Rant news »
Thanks to the ongoing 2012 Cannes Film Festival, we now have an update on perhaps the most daring, big-budgeted sci-fi film on the horizon: the adaptation of David Mitchell’s acclaimed novel Cloud Atlas, as directed by the triumvirate of Tom Tykwer (Run Lola Run) and Matrix creators Andy and Lana Wachowski.
Warner Bros. heads have reportedly approved the directors’ hefty final cut of the film – which clocks in at about 2 hours and 44 minutes. Moreover, the studio has tentative plans to release Cloud Atlas in theaters on December 6th, 2012, so as to qualify the prestigious picture for this year’s Oscars.
As reported by Indiewire, Warner Bros. originally passed on Cloud Atlas after balking at the projected $170 million price tag. (Due partly to memories of Speed Racer, no doubt.) Thereafter, the ...

A film Halle Berry is in that I can say I'm actually Really looking forward to seeing! It seems like it's been quite awhile since I've said those words. Of course I'm referring to the $100+ million big screen adaptation of David Mitchell's labyrinthine tome Cloud Atlas, which is being written and co-directed by Tom Tykwer (Run Lola Run), and The Wachowskis, with Halle Berry,Tom Hanks, Hugo Weaving, Keith David,Susan Sarandon, Ben Whishaw, Jim Broadbent, David Gyasi and several others in a variety of roles.

The 2012 Seattle Film Festival Line-Up is the Best I've Seen in Years
27 April 2012 12:07 PM, PDT | Rope of Silicon | See recent Rope Of Silicon news »
I can't remember a time I went to the Seattle International Film Festival (Siff) press launch and looked over the list of films and saw so many I was interested in seeing. The claim to fame for over the years is to call it the largest and most-highly attended festival in the United States. This is a fact I've often taken issue with as I don't equate quantity with quality. Granted, there has been a large number of quality features to play the fest over the years, including Golden Space Needle (Best Film) winners such as Kiss of the Spider Woman (1985), My Life as a Dog (1987), Trainspotting (1996), Run Lola Run (1999), Whale Rider (2003) and even recent Best Director winner, Michel Hazanavicius's Oss 117: Nest of Spies in 2006. That said, looking over this year's crop of films I see a lot of films I will be doing my absolute best to see. »

Hugh Grant: Multiple-Personality Slave Driver?
24 April 2012 11:44 AM, PDT | TheInsider.com | See recent The Insider news »
Hugh Grant has been playing a lot of golf during his four-year sabbatical from Hollywood, but the Four Weddings and a Funeral star is poised to come back in a big way with not one but six roles in the cryptic new movie co-directed by the Wachowski Brothers, Cloud Atlas, calling the project the "strangest offer I ever had."

"It's the strangest film, strangest script, strangest offer I ever had," Grant tells MTV of the new film from the makers of The Matrix with Tom Tykwer (Run Lola Run). "To play six small parts, all of them appalling killers and rapists, and some of them 85-year-old men, others Korean slave drivers. I thought maybe they were having a joke at my expense when they asked me to do it."

Mila Kunis and Channing Tatum offered sci-fi Jupiter Ascending
27 March 2012 2:13 PM, PDT | Flickeringmyth | See recent Flickeringmyth news »
Mila Kunis (Black Swan, Friends with Benefits) and Channing Tatum (21 Jump Street, The Vow) have been offered the lead roles in the upcoming film Jupiter Ascending at Warner Bros. The latest project from Lana and Andy Wachowski, this is their first major sci-fi action franchise effort since The Matrix trilogy. It is an original creation by the duo, who also produced and wrote the screenplay for V for Vendetta, but specific plot details are being kept under wraps for the time being.
The Wachowskis have just finished working on Cloud Atlas with Tom Tykwer (Run Lola Run, Perfume: The Story of a Murderer), so production on Jupiter Ascending is due to start later this year. Mila Kunis will be appearing in Seth MacFarlane’s comedy Ted with Mark Wahlberg this summer and in Sam Raimi’s Oz: The Great and Powerful with James Franco and Rachel Weisz next year.

Jim Sturgess Talks about Working on the Wachowskis' 'Cloud Atlas'
26 March 2012 11:10 AM, PDT | Rope of Silicon | See recent Rope Of Silicon news »
Over at Jim Sturgess Online they had a chance to speak with Jim Sturgess about several of his upcoming projects including the highly anticipated Cloud Atlas in which he will play multiple characters for directors Andy and Lana Wachowski (The Matrix) and Tom Tykwer (Lola rennt). Previously, I previewed some quotes from Hugh Grant, Halle Berry and Ben Whishaw who co-star alongside Sturgess in the film, but this interview with Sturgess goes a bit deeper and it appears Sturgess will be one of the few actors to get a role in all six parts of the film with many speculating at least one of those roles being that of Adam Ewing, a character whose part in the story bookends the novel from which it's based. The film is based on the novel by David Mitchell in which we meet a reluctant voyager crossing the Pacific in 1850; a disinherited composer living »

25 Reasons To Hate The Oscars
26 February 2012 1:52 AM, PST | Obsessed with Film | See recent Obsessed with Film news »
With the 2012 Oscar ceremony taking place tonight, I’ve rounded up the 25 worst Academy Awards decisions of the past quarter century to feed filmgoers collective rage. Many of these are outright bad winners, but I’ve also reserved special spots in this countdown for blunders in production, nominations, and existing in the first place.
So take a deep breath, go watch I Saw the Devil to get in the right mood, and dig in.
25. Fifty-Nine Years of Rocky History
I did not want to imply that the Academy was all sunshine and roses before 1988; so a brief history of their ineptitude seems in order. In fact, history is a perfect lead in because, even though this is reason number twenty-five, it underlies the basic principle that caused this list to manifest. The Academy never learns from its mistakes. It never changes.

Hugh Grant Discusses His Multiple Roles in the Wachowskis’ ‘Cloud Atlas’
16 February 2012 9:18 AM, PST | ScreenRant.com | See recent Screen Rant news »
Cloud Atlas failed to snag a spot on our Top 20 Anticipated Movies of 2012 list, but the David Mitchell novel adaptation – as is being co-directed by Tom Tykwer (Run Lola Run) and The Matrix creators Andy and Lana Wachowski – is a highly-anticpated project by numerous literature aficionados, hardcore sci-fi fans, along with just about anyone who knows what the source material encompasses (and is curious to see how it translates onscreen).
The Cloud Atlas cast includes several A-list stars and acclaimed thespians alike, such as Tom Hanks, Halle Berry, Susan Sarandon, Hugh Grant, Hugo Weaving, and Jim Broadbent. Due to the experimental bend and intertwining nature of the six distinct narrative threads that will make up the adaptation, those cast members will all be portraying multiple characters separated by barriers of time, space, culture, ...

Hugh Grant Makes the Wachowskis' 'Cloud Atlas' Sound as If It Will be Amazing
16 February 2012 8:30 AM, PST | Rope of Silicon | See recent Rope Of Silicon news »
The film is Cloud Atlas, based on the novel by David Mitchell in which we meet a reluctant voyager crossing the Pacific in 1850; a disinherited composer living a precarious livelihood in between-the-wars Belgium; a high-minded journalist in Governor Reagan's California; a vanity publisher fleeing his gangland creditors; a genetically modified "dinery server" on death-row; and Zachry, a young Pacific Islander witnessing the nightfall of science and civilization. The story follows each of these souls across time and how that idea will be turned into a cohesive narrative is beyond me. Granted, it's likely it runs around two-and-a-half-hours or so, but even then, it seems like a grand undertaking for Andy and Lana Wachowski along with co-director Tom Tykwer. Then to hear Hugh Grant discuss his six roles in the film. Here's what he told Empire: "I have six cameo parts in this strange, ambitious film. I do a lot of killing and raping. »

Hugh Grant Turns Rapper!

After gifting us with the rhyme-spitting and finger-flipping M.I.A., it looks like another London-born rapper is stepping into the spotlight: Hugh Grant!
No. That is not a typo.
In a new interview, the Love Actually star reveals that his new movie role required him to channel Biggie, Tupac and Eminem.

"I have six cameo parts in this strange, ambitious film," Grant said of Cloud Atlas. "I do a lot of killing and raping. I wear an awful lot of prosthetic make up, too. You probably won't know that I am in the film! But it was a laugh."
Although it doesn't sound like the audience will be doing much laughing given the way Grant describes his characters, all of whom he describes as "incredibly evil."

Laura Prudom: 'Gossip Girl' Recap: Top 3 Omg Moments in 'Crazy, Cupid, Love'
14 February 2012 8:22 AM, PST | Aol TV. | See recent Aol TV. news »
Note: Do not read on if you have not seen Season 5, Episode 15 of The CW's "Gossip Girl," entitled "Crazy, Cupid, Love."
Another episode of "Gossip Girl," another woman taken advantage of by a boy with bad intentions -- and they say romance is dead! I've been watching the show since day one and it gives me no pleasure to write recaps full of exasperation or irritation, but at this point, a part of me truly does wonder if "Gossip" is past the point of no return, if these characters' prior misdeeds and the writers' current lackadaisical approach can ever course-correct enough to make me want to spend an hour of my Monday night in their company.
So which three moments (because I was so annoyed with the whole thing that I couldn't summon up the energy for five) warrant deeper examination in this week's Valentine's-themed episode?
