Yesterday came the yearly announcement from the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences as it extended 134 invitations to several artists and executives "who have distinguished themselves by their contributions to theatrical motion pictures" read the press release. Of course all of them can decline, but I wouldn't necessarily expect that to happen as all who accept the invitation will be the only additions in 2009 to the Academy's roster of voting members. "These filmmakers have, over the course of their careers, captured the imagination of audiences around the world," said Academy President Sid Ganis. "It's this kind of talent and creativity that make up the Academy, and I welcome each of them to our ranks." The list follows below and reading around the best analysis I saw of it came from Nathaniel Rogers at The Film Experience who, among other things, pointed out the addition of longtime Darren Aronofsky's

Mega Buzz on House, Svu, Reaper, True Blood and More!

I have to wonder if the psych hospital in the House finale was also a hallucination.  It was pretty strange how the street and parking lots were empty.  And it looked like he was going to one of those hospitals from the 1940s. — RSmith

Matt: How Vanilla Sky! But nope, sources assure me that House's rehab stint is the real deal. And that hospital's more retro than you think. Greystone Park State Hospital (in Morristown, N.J.) made its debut in 1876 as the not-so-subtly named New Jersey State Lunatic Asylum. The hospital has tended to such patients as singer-songwriter Woody Guthrie, and until the Pentagon was built, it boasted the largest foundation (674,000 sq.

Michael Shannon Takes Us Down Revolutionary Road

1 June 2009 7:26 PM, PDT | From MovieWeb | See recent MovieWeb news

The actor talks about his Oscar-nominated role, working with the amazing cast and upcoming projects

Michael Shannon has been a very versatile actor to keep an eye on for quite some time now, and he has an Academy Award nomination to prove it now. After cutting his teeth on small film and TV in the 90s, Shannon started to make his presence felt at the turn of the century with roles in such films like Tigerland, Pearl Harbor, Vanilla Sky, High Crimes and 8 Mile. The actor hasn't stopped working since and his latest film, Revolutionary Road, which earned him an Oscar nomination for Best Supporting actor for his tremendous turn as John Givings, comes to DVD and Blu-ray on June 2. I had the chance to speak with Shannon today about his role and the spate of future films he has lined up, and here's what he had to say.

Michael Shannon Eyes The Runaways

31 May 2009 10:13 PM, PDT | From TheMovingPicture.net | See recent TheMovingPicture news

The extremely talented Michael Shannon, who earned an Oscar nomination for his performance in Sam Mendes’ Revolutionary Road, is in talks to play one of the lead male roles in The Runaways, the upcoming biopic on Joan Jett's seminal 1970s rock band. Shannon would join Kristen Stewart, who is set to star as Jett, and Dakota Fanning, who is on board to play bandmate Cherie Curry. The film will revisit the short but influential life of the first all-female band of the rock era. Although the film centers on the four female members of the band, there are a number of key male roles representing people who were personally and professionally associated with band members. The trades say Shannon is also mulling several other offers, and timing details still need to be worked out on Runaways. Shannon’s previous credits include Tigerland, Vanilla Sky, 8 Mile, Bug, World Trade Center

Tom Cruise Jumps Onto Wichita

28 May 2009 8:37 AM, PDT | From ScreenRant.com | See recent Screen Rant news

It’s been a long time coming but it looks like Tom Cruise has finally chosen his next project. The diminutive star is in advanced negotiations to star alongside his Vanilla Sky co-star Cameron Diaz in James Mangold’s Wichita.

 

For the past several months Cruise has been circling several high profile thrillers like David Cronenberg’s The Matarese Circle, Bharat Nalluri‘s The Tourist, Florian Henckel von Donnersmarck’ The 28th Amendment and Len Wiseman’s Motorcade. All of these films went through multiple rewrites (costing several million dollars) to get them “Tom Ready“.

However, it looks like the star wants to mix some comedy with his action and that’s why he’s chosen Wichita. According to Variety the tagline for the comedy-thriller is simple:

Cruise will play a secret agent who pops in and out of the life of a single woman.

All that means is the film

Tom Cruise Spies On Cameron Diaz For Wichita

27 May 2009 11:32 PM, PDT | From cinemablend.com | See recent Cinema Blend news

Tom Cruise is continuing onward in his quest to prove he's funny. Variety says he's eyeballing an action-comedy called Wichita as his next starring role. The movie is about a secret agent who pops in and out of the life of a single woman. Cruise would play the secret agent and Cameron Diaz is in negotiations to play the single woman. Cruise and Diaz haven't worked together since Vanilla Sky (unless you count her Minority Report cameo) in 2001, a movie which nobody but me really seems to appreciate. Come on! It's good. Apparently this script has been through a lot of doctoring, but the most recent rewrites were done by Scott Frank, which is a good sign. Raise your hand if you love The Lookout. Thank Scott Frank for that. Meanwhile James Mangold, best known as the director of 3:10 to Yuma and Walk the Line is set to direct.

Sophie Barthes 'Cold Souls' plays La Film Fest

18 May 2009 5:38 PM, PDT | From Pretty/Scary | See recent pretty-scary news

Cold Souls, the 35 mm sci-fi film by Sophie Barthes starring Paul Giamatti, David Strathairn, Dina Korzun, and Emily Watson, will screen at the Los Angeles Film Festival Thursday, Jun 25th and Saturday, Jun 27th.

Paul Giamatti plays Paul Giamatti in this idiosyncratic comedy in which soul extraction is a unique form of stress relief. He soon finds out that the side effects of soul storage can get absurdly complicated. Think Adaptation meets Vanilla Sky.
