10 Films at Tribeca That You'd Care Most About

17 April 2013 7:00 AM, PDT | NextMovie | See recent NextMovie news »

We here at NextMovie aren't just about the big-budget blockbusters. We're shallow, but we're not that shallow. (Fine, we're pretty shallow.)

April 17 begins the Tribeca Film Festival, where "little films that could" that really aren't that little and often star big-name actors are submitted to be judged by Hollywood's finest discerning eyes and also those of Eva Longoria.

Eva has to watch many films, but we think you guys would be specifically interested in the following ten.

'Adult World'

Defying the ever-popular "girl works at a sex shop in upstate New York in order to fund her completely stagnated poetry career" stereotype in movies, "Adult World" stars Emma Roberts as protege and John Cusack as mentor as the former is forced to take a post-graduate job in an intercourse parlor (which is way more fun to say than "sex shop"). Eventually, Roberts' character bonds with her sexified (read: »

Chris Cooper tapped for 'Klondike,' Discovery's first scripted mini-series

8 February 2013 2:01 PM, PST | Zap2It - From Inside the Box | See recent Zap2It - From Inside the Box news »

Discovery Channel is jumping into the increasingly popular basic cable scripted programming arena, with the mini-series "Klondike" and they've set Oscar-winning actor Chris Cooper to co-star.

Based on Charlotte Gray's novel "Gold Diggers: Striking It Rich in the Klondike," the mini will follow six strangers in a remote small town battling the environment and a collection of dangers characters as they search for gold in the 1890s.

Paul Scheuring ("Prison Break") is the primary writer and executive producers include Ridley Scott.

Cooper -- who won an Oscar for "Adaptation." and will soon be seen in "August: Osage County" opposite Meryl Streep and Julia Roberts -- will take on the role of Father Judge.

If the "Klondike" concept gives off a faint "Hatfields & McCoys" vibe, it's probably completely intentional. History's Emmy-winning miniseries set ratings records when it premiered last summer.

"Klondike" doesn't have an air date yet, but it's »
