Paramount & MGM Begin Production on Hercules
10 June 2013 12:51 PM, PDT | Comicmix.com | See recent Comicmix news »
Founded in 2007, Radical Studios is a multimedia company that incubated comic books for exploitation in other forms. Among their earliest releases was Hercules, boasting a Steranko cover, and it came with high production values and a bit of a buzz., The character returned for a second miniseries in and this interpretation captured Hollywood’s fancy. After years in development, production on the movie adaptation began today. Thew film enters a crowded summer 2014, especially for super-hero films, coming after Captain America: The Winter Solider and The Amazing Spider-Man 2 and just before X-Men: Days of Future Past and Guardians of the Galaxy (raising the question whether or not four Marvel Universe films in five months will reach the saturation point).
Here’s the formal release:

Brett Ratner’s ‘Hercules: The Thracian Wars’ Begins Filming!
10 June 2013 12:19 PM, PDT | The Hollywood News | See recent The Hollywood News news »
Brett Ratner’s down to Earth Hercules adaptation, starring Dwayne Johnson, has started principal photography. The film is based on the graphic novel ‘Hercules: The Thracian Wars’, and explores the man behind the myth, in a similar way to 2004′s King Arthur, removing all talk of magic and gods. See below for the complete press release.
I like the idea of removing magic from magical stories, but it can also just be a bit of a gimmick as well as showing the story as being pretty boring. What next? The legend of St. George where he slays, not a dragon, but a gecko? Or perhaps we’ll see Harry Potter as a wizard…a Maths wizard that is!
Hercules: The Thracian Wars is released 25th July 2014. It stars Dwayne Johnson, John Hurt, Joseph Fiennes, Aksel Hennie, Rufus Sewell, Ian McShane, and Rebecca Ferguson.

Disney Signs On For PGA’s Producers Mark Certification
29 May 2013 3:17 PM, PDT | Variety - Film News | See recent Variety - Film News news »
The Producers Guild of America’s plan to certify film credits is gaining traction with Disney in final talks to be the fifth major film company to agree to the voluntary process.
The Weinstein Co. was the first to agree to use of the Producers Mark — a lower-case “p.g.a.” after a certified producer’s name — on its prohibition era drama “Lawless” when it screened last May at Cannes. The process received a major boost in November when Fox, Sony and Universal signed off on agreements.
Additionally, Warner Bros. is in negotiations with the PGA over coming on board but those talks are not at the conclusive stage.
The mark has been used on more than 20 titles including “Fast and Furious 6,” “The Reluctant Fundamentalist,” “Silver Linings Playbook,” “The Magic of Belle Isle,” “Lonely Boy,” “Rise of Guardians” and “The Croods.”
Prominent upcoming titles include Universal’s “R.I.P.D.” for Neal H. Moritz »

5 Elizabeth Taylor-Richard Burton Movies To Watch
22 May 2013 9:02 PM, PDT | SoundOnSight | See recent SoundOnSight news »
With Cannes screening Cleopatra (marking its 50th anniversary) two nights ago and yesterday’s re-release screenings at 75 theaters countrywide, we’re feeling the Elizabeth Taylor and Richard Burton love. The twice-divorced, Vatican-condemned couple continues to capture the public’s imagination and interest. In the past three years, we’ve seen Sam Kashner’s Furious Love and Richard Burton’s diaries become bestsellers, Liz & Dick being the most notable thing in Lifetime’s line-up, and John le Carré writing in The New Yorker just last month about working with Burton on The Spy Who Came in from the Cold, and those are just a few things that spring to mind. Although their film collaborations have gotten a bit of a bum-rap over the years (somewhat deservedly), here are five Taylor-Burton films that we think are worth watching, out of the eleven that they made together.

Oscar Alert: Julia and Judi, and Meryl Too

Meryl Streep and Julia Roberts in August: Osage County: Duel of the Oscar winners [See previous post: "Oscar 2014 Watch: Harvey Weinstein Cannes Film Festival Coming Attractions."] More Oscar 2014 bait: August: Osage County, directed by John Wells, and starring three-time Oscar winner Meryl Streep (Kramer vs. Kramer, Sophie’s Choice, The Iron Lady) and Oscar winner Julia Roberts (Erin Brockovich). Is it mere coincidence that Streep’s seventeenth Oscar nomination and third win was for her portrayal of British prime minister Margaret Thatcher in Phyllida Lloyd’s The Iron Lady — distributed by The Weinstein Company two years ago? Either way, Streep’s Oscar 2014 competition should be fierce, as Julia Roberts doesn’t seem to be wearing any makeup in the family drama. (Photo: Meryl Streep and Julia Roberts in August: Osage County.) Adapted by Tracy Letts from his own play, besides Meryl Streep and Julia Roberts, August: Osage County also features Oscar nominee Juliette Lewis (Cape Fear), Dermot Mulroney, Star Trek Into Darkness‘ Benedict Cumberbatch, »

Gwyneth Paltrow: loved, loathed, but never ignored | profile
5 May 2013 3:27 AM, PDT | The Guardian - Film News | See recent The Guardian - Film News news »
The star of the Iron Man movies, health guru and red-carpet provocateur, provokes wildly differing reactions. Who is she really, this American in London?
Last week, the entertainment website Vulture posted a handy six-step guide on how not to hate Gwyneth Paltrow.
Paltrow, the 40-year-old, peachy-skinned actress who, in recent years, has attracted more column inches for munching quinoa than for actually appearing in films, is gracing the big screen again in Iron Man 3, reprising her role as the hero's love interest, Pepper Potts. Reviews suggest her performance – in what is admittedly a limited part – is extremely good. Hence the Vulture guide.
"It is normal to dislike Gwyneth Paltrow these days, it's a consensus viewpoint, basically," the writers state. "In the interest of a positive Iron Man 3 experience, Vulture has devised a six-point plan to help you put aside your Gwyneth Paltrow distaste for the length [130 minutes] of the film. »

Ahead or Behind Harry Potter? IM3 Opening-Weekend Box Office
5 May 2013 2:05 AM, PDT | Alt Film Guide | See recent Alt Film Guide news »
Iron Man 3 weekend box office: Second biggest domestic debut ever? Directed by Shane Black and starring Robert Downey Jr, Iron Man 3 will likely boast the second biggest opening weekend ever at the North American box office — not factoring in inflation. According to studio estimates found at Box Office Mojo, Iron Man 3 grossed $68.31m on Friday, including $15.6m from Thursday evening and midnight screenings. (Photo: Marvel / Disney’s Iron Man 3.) For comparison’s sake: Joss Whedon’s The Avengers, the previous Marvel movie featuring Robert Downey Jr’s Iron Man, took in $18.7m from midnight screenings alone in May 2012; The Avengers‘ first-day gross was $80.81m. Directed by Jon Favreau, Iron Man 2 earned $7.5m from midnight screenings in May 2010; its first-day take was $51.23. Note: Iron Man 2 didn’t have the Iron Man 3 (or The Avengers) advantage of 3D surcharges, which can boost movie-ticket prices by »

Here's our pick of her finest performances – what would you add to the list?
Mocking Gwyneth Paltrow seems to be an increasingly popular pastime – and with her eccentric diet advice, her auto-parodic lifestyle website Goop, and her temerity to keep on winning things like People magazine's world's most beautiful woman award, she makes sure her detractors are never short of ammo.
To redress the balance, this week we're focusing solely only the positive side of her career. We asked our Facebook followers to name the Iron Man 3 star's greatest scenes, and here's our pick of the suggestions – beware spoilers and adult content. But what have we missed?

April Showers... Poor Truman

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 »

An 'Iron' Friendship
30 April 2013 7:54 AM, PDT | Huffington Post | See recent Huffington Post news »
Los Angeles — There's something of the old married couple about Gwyneth Paltrow and Robert Downey Jr., though they're married to other people.
They've known each other for 20 years, through bad times (his) and good (hers all along and now his, too). They're cozy and comfy sitting down together for an interview, shifting easily between talking about their Marvel Studios superhero sequel "Iron Man 3," chatting up each other's career and family and trading small talk about their little ailments as Downey rummages through a case of nostrums he travels with.
"I think I picked up a little bacteria on the road," Downey says of his trips promoting the film worldwide ahead of its U.S. debut this week. "No big deal."
"In what part of your body?" Paltrow asks.
"Tum-tum," Downey replies.
"I got really sick from the plane from England," Paltrow says. "Just terrible stomach problems."
