Toni Collette, Danny Huston, Michael Stuhlbarg & Michael Wincott Join 'Alfred Hitchcock And The Making Of Psycho'

21 March 2012 2:04 PM, PDT | The Playlist | See recent The Playlist news »

The upcoming movie-about-a-movie "Alfred Hitchcock And The Making Of Psycho" continues to firm up its cast, and after adding Jessica Biel this morning, four more have come aboard the film, which is gearing up to go in front of cameras next month.

Toni Collette, Danny Huston, Michael Stuhlbarg and Michael Wincott ("Before Night Falls," "Robin Hood: Prince Of Thieves") are now on aboard the film, making for one helluva impressive lineup. They join Anthony Hopkins, Helen Mirren, Scarlett Johansson and James D'Arcy in the Sacha Gervasi directed film about the rocky production of the now classic thriller, one that saw Hitchcock fighting against the disinterest of the studio, who gave him few resources to make the movie with. Hitchcock and his wife Alma Reville will be played by Hopkins and Mirren, with ScarJo and D'Arcy as Janet Leigh and Anthony Perkins. Colette will portray the director's assistant Peggy Robertson, with »

Javier Bardem - From movie villain to real-life hero

15 March 2012 5:00 PM, PDT | The Independent | See recent The Independent news »

'There is no good side to celebrity," Javier Bardem laughs. The Spanish actor knows all about the price of superstardom. One half of Spain's most famous couple – Penélope Cruz gave birth to their son just over a year ago – he is as successful in English-language movies as those in his mother tongue. He won the Best Supporting Actor Oscar for his brutal turn in the Coen brothers' No Country for Old Men and was nominated in the Best Actor category for playing the gay Cuban writer and poet Reinaldo Arenas in Julian Schnabel's Before Night Falls and again in 2011 playing a criminal clairvoyant in Alejandro González Iñárritu's Biutiful. Three performances that highlight his remarkable range. »

What a drag: the death of the cross-dressing movie

27 January 2012 9:52 AM, PST | The Guardian - Film News | See recent The Guardian - Film News news »

As Adam Sandler dons skirt, wig and, yes, even a pair of melons for his latest movie, Jack and Jill, is this the moment when crass cross-dressing films finally dies?

Adam Sandler's latest comedy is shallow, scatological, lazy, crass and brazenly commercial. That's not news. But Jack and Jill may also mark something more significant: the moment when cinematic cross-dressing officially stops being funny. Sandler plays both twins of the title, and his Jill is pretty much what you would fear: just a screechingly irritating man in bad drag. Jill pulls lumps of wax out of her ears, leaves big sweaty patches on the bed, and defecates noisily after eating Mexican food. It's funny because it's a woman doing it, you see? If you had to identify the exact second of comic death, it would probably come at the close of a scene in which Jack disguises himself as Jill (so, »

The Varied Face of the Biopic

16 January 2012 3:50 PM, PST | SoundOnSight | See recent SoundOnSight news »

 

It seems that every award season cinemas big and small are assaulted by a glut of biopics. Whether they are a retelling of an inspirational personal triumph al a 127 Hours or whether they retell the stories of life’s heroes and characters. Already in the run-in to 2012’s Oscar Ceremony we have already had Phyllida Lloyd’s the iron lady which had a powerhouse of a performance from Meryl Streep, so at least there was some value if everything else was such a cataclysmic misfire. Other recent and forthcoming biopics include J.Edgar and Albert Nobbs. Instead of looking forward to those films, I will use this opportunity to list some examples of biopics that show how varied this mode of storytelling can be, without that reliance of awards baiting coming into view.
