The Bling Ring?

30 May 2012 5:32 PM, PDT | FilmExperience | See recent FilmExperience news »

Hey, why didn't anyone tell me there was a new Sofia Coppola movie on the horizon? Or did I just forgot. Nevertheless... The Bling Ring is coming and its 'stars' are walking right at'cha.

Taissa Farmiga, Israel Broussard, Emma Watson, Katie Chang & Claire Alys Julien "The Bling Ring"

Well... not exactly. Sofia Coppola is the star this time out since this band of moneyed kids is an ensemble and none of them have the hefty screen presence (yet) of a Kirsten Dunst or a Scarlett Johansson. And besides, even in the starriest of circumstances Sofia is at least the top billed co-star of all or her movies, having such a distinct auteur voice.

The Bling Ring is the name of the thieving group (above) who burglarize celebrity homes. Expect starry cameos, including our beloved Kiki (who previously headlined Coppola's Marie Antoinette and The Virgin Suicides), Paris Hilton and possibly Lindsay Lohan »

A Look at the New Artwork for Breaking Glass Pictures' Release of Scalene on Blu-ray/DVD

25 May 2012 4:01 PM, PDT | DreadCentral.com | See recent Dread Central news »

The long road to get Scalene out to the masses is almost over for indie filmmaker Zack Parker, as Breaking Glass Pictures has announced a July 31st Blu-ray/DVD release date for his film Scalene, a dark, edgy thriller that asks you to decide the truth for yourself in the face of tragedy.

Written by Brandon Owens and Zack Parker, directed by Parker, and starring Emmy Award winner Margo Martindale (“Justified”, “A Gifted Man”), Hanna Hall (Rob Zombie’s Halloween, The Virgin Suicides) and Adam Scarimbolo (Stake Land), Scalene brings the best and the worst in everyone to the surface in a twisted, layered tale of betrayal, lies and revenge.

Trickily told from three points of view, perceptual thriller Scalene (review here) revolves around a mother's (Martindale) revenge after her mentally challenged, twenty-something son (Scarimbolo) is accused of a sexual assault by his student caretaker (Hanna Hall).

Greg Mottola Might Be the Perfect Writer to Make Insufferable Characters of ‘The Marriage Plot’ Palatable

16 May 2012 2:00 PM, PDT | FilmSchoolRejects.com | See recent FilmSchoolRejects news »

This is actually sort of brilliant. Variety reports that Sony and Scott Rudin Productions are in “early talks” with filmmaker Greg Mottola to pen their adaptation of Jeffrey Eugenides’s “The Marriage Plot.” As of now, word is that Mottola would both write and produce, though he’d be a surprisingly great pick to direct the film. Why, you may ask? Why would the dude who directed Superbad be a good bet to craft a big screen adaptation of a Pulitzer Prize-winning author’s latest work? It’s simple. Mottola knows how to make audiences care about assholes. And, good God almighty, are the characters in “The Marriage Plot” assholes. I’ll lay it out here – I am a huge fan of Eugenides’s work. “The Virgin Suicides” is a masterful slice of deep, dark Americana and feminine longing. “Middlesex,” though it did win the Pulitzer Prize, is still not nearly as lauded as it should be »

Greg Mottola in Early Talks to Adapt Jeffrey Eugenides’ ‘The Marriage Plot’ for Scott Rudin

16 May 2012 9:31 AM, PDT | Slash Film | See recent Slash Film news »

Scott Rudin is bouncing back from his disappointment over HBO’s decision to pass on The Corrections by getting the gears turning on another project with some serious literary pedigree. Rudin has just tapped Superbad helmer Greg Mottola to pen an adaptation of The Marriage Plot, the acclaimed novel from Pulitzer-winning The Virgin Suicides and Middlesex author Jeffrey Eugenides.

Greg Mottola To Adapt Jeffrey Eugenides' 'The Marriage Plot' For Scott Rudin & Sony

16 May 2012 6:19 AM, PDT | The Playlist | See recent The Playlist news »

What's writer-director Greg Mottola been up to lately? After a trifecta of films in "Superbad," "Adventureland" and "Paul," the writer-director was noted to be adapting Leanne Shaption's 'Important Artifacts' for Brad Pitt and Natalie Portman, before turning to television to helm the pilot for Aaron Sorkin's "The Newsroom," which will air next month We now have another project to add to the mix with Mottola teaming with literature-loving "Social Network" producer Scott Rudin and Sony for an adaptation of "The Virgin Suicides" author Jeffrey Eugenides' "The Marriage Plot."

Mottola will produce and adapt Eugenides' novel although, at this stage, it's unclear whether he will helm the project -- Variety simply speculates, noting that he doesn't have anything on the horizon, implying it might be on his radar. The story does sound like something in Mottola's wheelhouse as it's an '80s-set story of a bookish English major caught »

Superbad Director May Adapt The Marriage Plot

15 May 2012 8:35 PM, PDT | Vulture | See recent Vulture news »

Jeffrey Eugenides's Pulitzer-winning 2002 novel Middlesex has yet to be successfully adapted because Hollywood generally isn't interested in something so good and profound, but, as you'll recall, The Virgin Suicides was. Now the author's latest, The Marriage Plot, is being eyed for big-screenification by Superbad and Adventureland helmer Greg Mottola, Variety reports. Despite Mottola's directing career being more prolific than his work as scribe, he may only write the Plot screenplay. But it's still interesting. »

Happy 30th Birthday, Kirsten Dunst!

30 April 2012 12:44 PM, PDT | E! Online - UK | See recent E! Online - UK news »

Ready or not, the 30s are bringing it on to Kirsten Dunst. The ever-youthful actress enters a new decade today, and the forthcoming On the Road thesp has certainly grown up in front of our eyes, starting when she first burst onto our screens a whopping (ready to feel old?) 18 years ago. Since then, she's gone from learning from heavy-hitting A-listers to becoming one herself, turning into a household name with The Virgin Suicides, Spider-Man and, yes, a certain high school cheerleading movie. Along the way, she's also become something of an indie cool fashion icon, so we're celebrating Dunst's milestone year with a look back at some of her biggest sartorial hits—check 'em »

Turner will be making her Toronto stage debut in Matthew Lombardo’s High at the Royal Alexandra Theatre from May 8–13. Turner, 58 next June, has appeared in nearly 30 features.

Hollywood & Politics: Ann Coulter on Why America Hates Hollywood (Opinion)

26 April 2012 10:00 AM, PDT | The Hollywood Reporter | See recent The Hollywood Reporter news »

This story originally appeared in the May 4 issue of The Hollywood Reporter. Americans love movies and would like to love Hollywood, but I suspect they are getting a little sick of Hollywood hating them. By "them," I mean: ► Southerners (as portrayed in A Time to Kill, Deliverance, Easy Rider, Talladega Nights, Pulp Fiction, Raising Arizona and Law & Order) ► Residents of small towns, except the Hamptons and Malibu (Footloose, The Last Seduction, Pleasantville and Law & Order) ► Christians (The Virgin Suicides, Easy A, Seven, Straw Dogs, Carrie and Law & Order) ► Connecticut WASPs or

Kirsten Dunst On The Road Poster

20 April 2012 4:36 PM, PDT | Alt Film Guide | See recent Alt Film Guide news »

Kirsten Dunst/Camille On the Road poster If this isn't an all-out smile, I don't know what is. Those sparkling white teeth and healthy-looking gums belong to Kirsten Dunst. What a world! What a life! What a dentist!. I'm assuming Dunst's is the last On the Road "character" poster we're adding, as every major On the Road character has already gotten his/her poster. Dunst's actually came out before the ones for the film's three leads, Sam Riley, Garrett Hedlund, and Kristen Stewart. We're just late posting it. In On the Road, Dunst plays Camille, the wife of Dean Moriarty (Hedlund), who leaves her behind to go on the road with the much younger Marylou (Stewart). Camille is based on Carolyn Cassady, the first wife of the sexually adventurous Neal Cassady (Moriarty in the novel/film). Sissy Spacek played Carolyn Cassady in John Byrum's Heart Beat, based on Cassady's 1976 book of memoirs, »

Mary Harron Interview On Gothic Horror 'The Moth Diaries'

18 April 2012 9:28 PM, PDT | Planet Fury | See recent Planet Fury news »

The R-Rated The Moth Diaries is Mary Harron's new horror film.

To horror film fans, she's more affectionately known as the woman who directed the American Psycho film adaptation from the novel by Bret Easton Ellis. Her films I Shot Andy Warhol, and The Notorious Bettie Page are just as respected by wider circles, however.

The Moth Diaries is based on the novel by Rachel Klein Klein, which tells the story of Rebecca (played by Sarah Bolger in Harron's film), a young girl haunted by her father’s suicide who enrolls in an elite boarding school for girls. A mysterious new girl named Ernessa (Lily Cole) threatens Rebecca’s friendship with the popular Lucy (Sarah Gadon). Lucy falls under Ernessa’s charismatic spell. Rebecca turns to her handsome English teacher, Mr. Davies (Scott Speedman), and throws herself into his literature class and the Gothic vampire novel Carmilla. Rebecca starts »

Garrett Hedlund/Dean Moriarty On The Road Poster

18 April 2012 4:08 PM, PDT | Alt Film Guide | See recent Alt Film Guide news »

Garrett Hedlund as Dean Moriarty, On the Road poster "Desirous of everything at the same time," is how Dean Moriarty is described in the latest character poster for Walter Salles' film adaptation of Jack Kerouac's On the Road. That statement can be read in all sorts of ways — at the same time. Tron: Legacy / Inside Llewyn Davis' Garrett Hedlund plays the sensual, live-for-the-moment Moriarty, inspired by Kerouac's intimate buddy Neal Cassady. Married three times — at one point to two different women — Cassady had a two-decade, off-and-on relationship with Allen Ginsberg. (Back in the '50s, Kerouac wanted Marlon Brando as Dean; the sexually conflicted Kerouac was to have played On the Road's other male lead, Sal Paradise, a version of himself.) In addition to Garrett Hedlund, On the Road features the following performers: Woman in Love / Brighton Rock's Sam Riley as Sal, The Twilight Saga: »

Sam Riley/Sal Paradise On The Road Poster

17 April 2012 5:08 PM, PDT | Alt Film Guide | See recent Alt Film Guide news »

Sam Riley, On the Road poster In Walter Salles' On the Road, adapted by José Rivera from Jack Kerouac's iconic novel, Sam Riley plays Sal Paradise, based on Kerouac himself. Kerouac wrote his novel in 1951, though it would be published only in 1957. Around that time, he wanted to play himself in a film version of his book, with Marlon Brando as Dean Moriarty, inspired by Neal Cassady, and brought to life by Tron: Legacy / Georgia Rule's Garrett Hedlund in Salles' movie. In addition to Sam Riley and Garrett Hedlund, On the Road features the following: The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn Part 2 / Snow White and the Huntsman / Welcome to the Rileys' Kristen Stewart, Waiting for Forever / Being Julia's Tom Sturridge, Ideal / Off the Hook's Danny Morgan, Mad Men / Get Him to the Greek's Elisabeth Moss, and The Virgin Suicides / Spider-Man's Kirsten Dunst.

Review: 'Goodbye First Love' Looks At Young Romance Without Affection

17 April 2012 12:07 PM, PDT | The Playlist | See recent The Playlist news »

Television and movies love to indulge us in pre-adulthood nostalgia. Whether the bait is loose (young hooligans causing a ruckus) or more specific and event-oriented (prom, which we've seen less of lately because, well, prom sucks), the powers that be tug at our heartstrings and force us to look back at a time free of major responsibilities and full of fresh experiences. The glazed schmaltz can be off-putting for some, but occasionally sincerity shines through, and we get something that captures the emotions extraordinarily well (for this writer's money, "The Virgin Suicides" and "The Girl" are uneven but nail certain feelings on the head). But if we look back without this fondness, what are these stories? Are they merely happenings that somehow affected the person we become, or are they just the product of naive children that didn't know better? Mia Hansen-Løve's "Goodbye First Love" attempts a critical look »
