Cannes 2012: How the Nanni Moretti Lead Jury Might Vote
15 May 2012 2:00 PM, PDT | ioncinema | See recent ioncinema news »
Which film is the odds-on favorite to grab the Palme d’Or this year. It depends not on who you ask, but who is assigned a jury seat. We’ve decided to offer our readers a breakdown on the jury of nine.
Known For: His political edge, as well as an omnipresence in Cannes, where he’s appeared 14 times, winning awards twice.
Best Work: He won the Palme d’Or in 2001 for The Son’s Room, though many regard 1994′s Dear Diary, which won an directing prize at Cannes, to be his best.
Little known fact: Organized an estimated 200,000 protesters in 2002 to a gathering in the square in front of Rome’s San Giovanni basilica to oppose legal reforms planned by the right-wing government of Silvio Berlusconi. He was quote during the protest as saying “The Italians who voted for Berlusconi were following a dream — and they woke up in a nightmare. »

question of the day: What is the most underrated movie sequel of all-time?
2 April 2012 2:47 AM, PDT | www.flickfilosopher.com | See recent FlickFilosopher news »
Today’s question comes from reader Patrick, who writes: Bypassing the obvious candidates for the greatest sequels ("The Godfather, part II"; "The Empire Strikes Back"; "Aliens"; "The Dark Knight"), what would be your pick for most underrated sequel? What follow-up is it that divides the critics and regular movie-goers and fills whole threads of message boards with debate, but you think is worthy of the original? I suspect we may see a bit of debate over Wrath of the Titans, which I think is awful and much worse than the previous film, 2010’s Clash of the Titans, but just anecdotally, I’ve seen more than a few people saying that they think Wrath is an improvement. Critics disagree: Clash is 28 percent Fresh on Rotten Tomatoes, but Wrath is only 25 percent; on Metacritc, Clash scored a 39, while Wrath dropped to 37. What do you think? What is the most underrated movie sequel of all-time? »

Jurassic Park Will Be Re-Released in 3D in 2013
16 March 2012 9:00 AM, PDT | GeekTyrant | See recent GeekTyrant news »
Before there was Avatar; before there was The Matrix; before there was The Phantom Menace, there was Jurassic Park. The 1993 Steven Spielberg film was a landmark in computer animation and was the #1 film of 1993. It spawned two lesser sequels, The Lost World: Jurassic Park and Jurassic Park III, and an entire themed area at Universal Studios' Islands of Adventure. Spielberg confirmed last year that a fourth Jurassic Park film is in development and, although he won't direct, he plans to be heavily involved. Next year marks the Jurassic Park's 20th anniversary and following the 3D re-releases of The Lion King, Star Wars Episode I: The Phantom Menace, and Titanic, the dinosaurs of Jurassic Park will appear even closer in 3D on July 19th, 2013, little more than two weeks after the release of Spielberg's sci-fi thriller Robopacalypse.
Many folks have already begun the moaning and groaning on Twitter, saying »

Tea Leoni interview: Tower Heist, Brett Ratner, Deep Impact and Jurassic Park III
13 March 2012 7:25 AM, PDT | Den of Geek | See recent Den of Geek news »
What’s it like to work with Brett Ratner? Why is Alan Alda scary? And why was Jurassic Park III quite so special for her? Tea Leoni has been giving us some answers…
It was very early in the morning, Us time, when I was connected to Tea Leoni to have a natter about the DVD and Blu-ray release of Tower Heist. It was mid-afternoon in the UK, and I’d had the benefit of many coffees. Tea Leoni, I suspect, had not, as she reminded me several times during our chat that it was very early.
But it didn’t affect, or didn’t seem to, what she was talking about. And it turned out to be a really interesting chat, not least when we got around to her thoughts on Jurassic Park III. Here’s how it went…

Behind The Scenes Of Stan Winston’s Incredible Jurassic Park Dinosaurs
8 March 2012 11:00 AM, PST | The Hollywood News | See recent The Hollywood News news »
Back in 1993, Jurassic Park exploded my easily influenced mind and if truth be told, it still does. One of the major questions that still baffle me is: ‘How is the T-Rex not real?’ I’m happy to say Spielberg and this particular part of his movie history has been embedded in my mind and although I understand animatronics and very subtle CGI, I watch and I still believe.
The sheer talent and magic that made these dinosaur dreams come true was the Stan Winston and his very special studio. We’ve been lucky enough to discover these videos and I promise you, it doesn’t take away from any of the captivation and awe you feel when you see the Jurassic Park films for the first time. In these videos, admire the enormous scale of a T-Rex test and witness the perfection they put into their work in order to get it right. »

Jurassic Park - Behind the Scenes Footage of Stan Winston's Incredible Dinosaurs
5 March 2012 4:30 PM, PST | GeekTyrant | See recent GeekTyrant news »
When I was growing up in the 1990's, Steven Spielberg's Jurassic Park took movies to a whole new level for me. Dinosaurs were brought to life on the big screen like we had never seen them before. They were created using a mix of animatronics and CGI effects. I had never seen Dinosaurs so close to being so real before! It was so damn cool! The man that helped make that happen was special effects legend Stan Winston, and we have some great behind the scenes footage from the Jurassic Park films that are pretty freakin awesome. They show off the massively fierce Tyrannosaurus Rex, as well as the stealthy sleekness of the Raptors and more.
Thanks to Stan Winston School for sending us a link to these videos! Watch them below and share what you felt when you first saw Jurassic Park.

Destroyer14's Review of Green Lantern
16 February 2012 6:31 PM, PST | ComicBookMovie.com | See recent ComicBookMovie news »
Green Lantern came out a year ago. It was DC attempting to break out of the norm. See, they really don't like to venture past Batman and Superman. (They tried a few years ago with Jonah Hex, and you know how that turned out.) Well, Green Lantern was I'm sure supposed to be the start of the DC 'Cinematic Universe.' That idea was quickly destroyed when it bombed. Negative reviews all over the place, it was just a mess and DC was probably extremely disappointed. They're probably like, "Well, we have an upcoming Batman and Superman film, we'll just forget about that Justice League movie." So unlike a lot of people, I didn't go to the theater to watch it. In fact, this review is coming right after watching it. For some reason, I tend to like a lot of movies people don't like. Spider-Man 3, X-Men 3, Jurassic Park 3, »
Joe Johnston’s Latest Movie is Not Safe For Work
2 February 2012 9:15 AM, PST | Beyond Hollywood | See recent Beyond Hollywood news »
“Captain America: The First Avenger’s” Joe Johnston has signed on to direct a thriller called “Not Safe For Work”, which is Not what you think. It’s being called a “micro thriller” in terms of budget, location, and cast, which would be a first for Johnston, who hasn’t done anything you could generously call “indie” since, well, ever. The film is from screenwriters Adam Mason and Simon Boyes, and will follow “a young paralegal who is trapped in the office with a killer on a mission to destroy files for another corporation.” “Not Safe For Work” will be brought to you by producer Jason Blum, who is apparently making a nice living doing “micro-budgeted” thrillers. Johnston’s previous films include “The Rocketeer”, “Jurassic Park III”, and of course, “Captain America”. It will be interesting to see if he can even do a small movie. That in itself is an intriguing behind-the-scenes plot. »

‘Captain America’ Director Joe Johnston Signs For Thriller ‘Not Safe For Work’
2 February 2012 9:00 AM, PST | Slash Film | See recent Slash Film news »
Captain America: The First Avenger director Joe Johnston got a nice career boost thanks to the success of his WWII superhero movie, but surprisingly Johnston isn't moving right back into the big movie arena with his next project. He's just signed to direct a 'micro-budget' thriller called Not Safe For Work, which is produced by Blumhouse Pictures, which has a first-look deal with Universal. It sounds like quite a departure from making movies on the scale of Captain America, The Wolfman and Jurassic Park III. Adam Mason and Simon Boyes (The Devil's Chair) wrote Not Safe For Work, which THR [1] says is about "a young paralegal who is trapped in the office with a killer on a mission to destroy files for another corporation." This will be by far the smallest movie Johnston has made, with a budget of only $2.5m. It's an interesting choice for him, but the appeal »

Joe Johnston to Direct 'Not Safe for Work'
2 February 2012 9:00 AM, PST | FEARnet | See recent FEARnet news »
You gotta admire a guy who directs one of last year's biggest superhero blockbusters and then follows it up with a low-budget horror movie... Director Joe Johnston, who helmed the Marvel Studios hit Captain America (and cut his horror chops on Jurassic Park III and The Wolfman), has just signed on to direct the micro-budgeted thriller Not Safe for Work. Details after the jump. According to The Hollywood Reporter, Joe Johnston "has boarded Not Safe For Work, a micro-budgeted thriller from micro-budget master Jason Blum and his Blumhouse Pictiures. Nsfw is set up at Universal via Blumhouse' first-look deal with the studio." "Written by British scribes Adam Mason and Simon Boyes, Nsfw centers on a »
Marc Forster Summons The War Magician
2 February 2012 8:50 AM, PST | Obsessed with Film | See recent Obsessed with Film news »
Updated: And as quickly as that Variety say Forster is no longer attached to the project. He is off the film as quickly as that;
Helmer Marc Forster is no longer attached to World War II drama “The War Magician.”
The project, set up at Lonetree Entertainment, is based on David Fisher’s best-selling book and tells the story of real-life British magician Jasper Maskelyne, who adapted the core principles of stage magic to World War II. Forster had been eying the project but is no longer involved, his reps confirmed Thursday.
Previously eyed as a starring vehicle for Tom Cruise and later a potential project for director Peter Weir, Variety reports that Marc Forster (Quantum of Solace, Machine Gun Preacher) is the latest who has plans to helm The War Magician, a fascinating World War II saga of illusion.
The film is based on the best-selling non-fiction book by »

Joe Johnston's Next Project is Not Safe For Work
2 February 2012 | Comingsoon.net | See recent Comingsoon.net news »
Joe Johnston has chosen his followup project to last year's Captain America: The First Avenger and it's Not Safe For Work . The Hollywood Reporter says he'll helm the low-budget thriller for Blumhouse Pictures and Universal. Scripted by Simon Boyes and Adam Mason ( The Devil's Chair , Broken ), the project has a paralegal facing off against a killer from a rival corporation intent on destroying information in his office. To be shot for roughly two-and-a-half million dollars, Not Safe For Work should represent a very different kind of filmmaking than Johnston has shown in the past with films like The Wolfman , Jurassic Park III and Jumanji . »
Joe Johnston’s Next Movie Won’t Be Captain America 2
2 February 2012 12:33 AM, PST | Obsessed with Film | See recent Obsessed with Film news »
Joe Johnston, who directed for my money what was the best Marvel movie since 2008′s Iron Man with Captain America: The First Avenger, has chose his next film and won’t be a Steve Rogers sequel.
The Hollywood Reporter say Johnston has signed on to direct the low-budget thriller Not Safe For Work for Universal and Blumhouse Pictures.
Written by Brit writers Simon Boyes and Adam Mason (The Devil’s Chair, Broken), Not Safe For Work (although it might go with the title in letters, Nsfw) follows a paralegal facing off against a killer from a rival corporation intent on destroying important files.
Budgeted at just $2.5 million, the film is a complete left turn from Johnston who usually helms big profile $100 million pictures, his CV including The Wolfman, Jurassic Park III and Jumanji. He has challenged himself to helm a micro film and he has struck a healthy pay deal »

Captain America Director Joe Johnston Making Low-Budget Thriller Nsfw
1 February 2012 8:04 PM, PST | cinemablend.com | See recent Cinema Blend news »
Joe Johnston directed one of the summer's biggest hits, Captain America: The First Avenger, but unlike a lot of big successful tentpole directors, he hasn't been talking a lot about his next project. In fact, we don't even know if he'll return for a Captain America sequel, and given that Cap is tied up in The Avengers, that doesn't seem to be a huge priority. So riding on his success, Johnston is moving on to something completely different. THR reports that Johnston has signed on to Not Safe For Work, a "micro-budgeted thriller" set up at Universal. It sounds like the kind of scrappy, no-frills thriller a new director might cut his teeth on, but Johnston, with films like Jurassic Park 3 and The Rocketeer behind him, is apparently in the mood to cut back. The story, written by Adam Mason and Simon Boyes, follows a young paralegal who winds »
‘Captain America’ Director Joe Johnston Goes Small on ‘Not Safe for Work’
1 February 2012 6:58 PM, PST | The Film Stage | See recent The Film Stage news »
It took Joe Johnston a while, but he finally scored a big win. After the box office and critical disappointments of Hidalgo, Jurassic Park III, and The Wolfman, cash and acclaim came in the form of Captain America: The First Avenger, a film that gave empirical proof to Johnston‘s talents as a big-budget director. From that point on, odds were that he could have the pick of just about any $100 million property he wanted.
So it’s no small shock that, today, THR reported that Johnston had been signed to direct a $2.5 million dollar “micro-budget thriller.” The film, Not Safe for Work, is being produced by Jason Blum (Paranormal Activity, Wettest County) and his shingle, Blumhouse Films. It’s been written by Adam Mason and Simon Boyes (Luster), and focuses on a paralegal who gets trapped in an office with a killer working for another corporation to destroy sensitive files. »

Captain America Director Joe Johnston to Helm Micro-Budget Thriller Not Safe For Work
1 February 2012 5:35 PM, PST | Collider.com | See recent Collider.com news »
Director Joe Johnston is making a radical departure for his follow-up feature after last year’s Captain America: The First Avenger. The Jurassic Park III helmer has signed on to direct the micro-budget thriller Not Safe for Work. Written by Adam Mason and Simon Boyes, THR reports that the film centers on a young paralegal who is trapped in an office with a killer on a mission to destroy files for another corporation. Johnston is used to working with considerably larger budgets on films like The Wolfman and The Rocketeer, but Not Safe for Work will be made for a mere $2.5 million. The pic is set up at Universal and will be made through Jason Blum’s Blumhouse Pictures. Blum is no stranger to the small budget/big profit model, as he produced all three Paranormal Activity films as well as one of the most profitable films of last year, »

Sequel Bits: Tim Burton Considering ‘Beetlejuice 2′, Plus: ‘Jurassic Park 4′, ‘Can’t Hardly Wait 2′, ‘The Brothers McMullen 2′
17 January 2012 9:00 AM, PST | Slash Film | See recent Slash Film news »
[1] It's not so unexpected for a hit movie to get a sequel a year or two out, but it's also becoming increasingly common for franchises to pick up with the characters again ten or even twenty years after the last installment. In this edition of Sequel Bits, we have a handful of possible upcoming projects that look back to the '80s and '90s for inspiration. After the jump: Tim Burton considers getting involved with Beetlejuice 2 Steven Spielberg won't be directing Jurassic Park 4 Edward Burns could revisit his debut The Brothers McMullan, twenty years later Peter Facinelli discusses the possibility (or lack thereof) of a Can't Hardly Wait 2 The announcement [2] of a Beetlejuice sequel initially drew ire from fans who felt that Beetlejuice just wouldn't be Beetlejuice without director Tim Burton and star Michael Keaton. (There, I said it three times.) Writers Seth Grahame-Smith and David Katzenberg were quick to agree, »

Alexander Payne: Life after Sideways
13 January 2012 4:06 PM, PST | The Guardian - Film News | See recent The Guardian - Film News news »
He bagged an Oscar for Sideways (after refusing George Clooney a lead role). Now he's back with The Descendants (and this time Clooney made the cut). Alexander Payne talks to Simon Hattenstone about the importance of casting – and why his own films make him wince
Alexander Payne is the champion of male middle-class losers. Films such as Election, About Schmidt and Sideways star men who have the rug pulled from underneath them. So Matthew Broderick's teacher in the wonderful high school satire Election is bullied by Reese Witherspoon's monomaniac student Tracy Flick, almost has an affair, gets so badly bee-stung that his face is reduced to a raw burger, and loses pretty much everything. In About Schmidt, Jack Nicholson is left with nothing but repressed anger and an existential crisis when he's forced to take retirement. Sideways features Paul Giamatti as a depressed schlump of a teacher who »
