18 April 2013 6:25 AM, PDT | EW - Inside Movies | See recent EW.com - Inside Movies news »
You may not know her name, but you’ve likely seen it numerous times — on the credits of such films as E.T. the Extra-Terrestrial, Schindler’s List, Seabiscuit, and Lincoln.
For serving in various production capacities on those and some 60 other big-screen movies, as well as for her humanitarian and philanthropic efforts, Kathleen Kennedy was named 2013 Pioneer of the Year Wednesday night by film exhibitors at their annual CinemaCon convention.
In the award’s nearly 70-year history, Kennedy is only the second woman so honored. (The first was former Paramount chief Sherry Lansing in 1996.) And, among women, Kennedy is the all-time box-office champ, »

Inside Mann: William Goldenberg talks about Heat
17 April 2013 5:32 PM, PDT | Flickeringmyth | See recent Flickeringmyth news »
Trevor Hogg chats with Academy Award winner William Goldenberg about the nervousness and excitement he experienced while collaborating with Michael Mann for the first time....
“Michael [Mann] is the most meticulous director I have ever worked with to the point of obsession,” states William Goldenberg who has collaborated with Ben Affleck (Gone Baby Gone, Argo), Kathryn Bigelow (Zero Dark Thirty), Gary Ross (Seabiscuit, Pleasantville) and Michael Bay (Transformers: Dark of the Moon). “When we did The Insider [1999] we shot in almost every location where the actual event happened. He would want to make sure down to what tie, ring or watch the actors had on; it is complete authenticity at any price.” Goldenberg is impressed by the ability of Mann to have the stamina and wherewithal to write and director while still having the energy to pay attention to detail. “When Michael watches dailies he sits with a tape or digital »

Oscar-winning, blockbuster-fronting Jennifer Lawrence seems to have the odds ever in her favor
22 March 2013 6:54 AM, PDT | EW - Inside Movies | See recent EW.com - Inside Movies news »
Jennifer Lawrence didn’t just win the Oscar for Best Actress last month. She basically won the whole Oscars. (Apologies to Ben Affleck.) She charmed late-night hosts — and Academy voters — with a disarming blend of bawdy humor and compulsive oversharing in the weeks before the ceremony. She rocked the red carpets with a variety of gorgeous gowns. More importantly, she was the only nominee who arrived at the Dolby Theatre currently fronting a $400 million blockbuster franchise. Certainly, she was wonderful and deserving of the Academy Award for her performance as a dispirited young widow in The Silver Linings Playbook, but as she accepted the Oscar, »

Coen Brothers to Write for Director Angelina Jolie
27 February 2013 9:03 AM, PST | Manny the Movie Guy | See recent Manny the Movie Guy news »
So Angelina Jolie, fresh from directing "In the Land of Blood and Honey," is attached to helm the Laura Hillenbrand 2010 biography of World War II hero Louis Zamperini called "Unbroken" for Universal Pictures. Jolie replaced Francis Lawrence who left to work on "The Hunger Games" sequel "Catching Fire."
And who's rewriting the screenplay for her? The Coen Brothers! Yup, the Oscar-winning writers/directors of "No Country for Old Men."
Must be nice to be Angelina Jolie huh? She has the Coen Brothers at her beck and call :wink
According to THR, Jolie was incredibly choosy when it comes to writers. Before she came on board, William Nicholson and Richard Lagravenese worked on previous drafts.
Unbroken: A World War II Story of Survival, Resilience, and Redemption is a non-fiction book by Hillenbrand, who previously wrote Seabiscuit: An American Legend. Unbroken tells the real-life tale of World War II hero Louis Zamperini, »

Angelina Jolie signs up Coen brothers for historical drama Unbroken
26 February 2013 9:38 AM, PST | The Guardian - Film News | See recent The Guardian - Film News news »
Oscar-winning film-makers will rewrite initial draft of Unbroken, Laura Hillenbrand's tale of Us war hero Lou Zamperini
The Coen brothers are to work on the screenplay for Unbroken, a historical drama about American second world war hero Lou Zamperini that will be Angelina Jolie's next film as director, according to the Hollywood Reporter.
The Oscar-winning film-makers will rewrite an initial draft of the story, based on Seabiscuit author Laura Hillenbrand's 2010 novel Unbroken: A World War II Story of Survival, Resilience, and Redemption.
Zamperini, a one-time Olympic track star, made headlines after surviving for 47 days without food or water when his Us airforce plane crash-landed in the Pacific in 1943. Having endured shark attacks, aerial attacks and extreme hunger, he was eventually picked up by the Japanese after getting washed ashore on an island behind enemy lines. Zamperini's captors imprisoned him for two years, during which time he was tortured. »

Coen Brothers To Rewrite Angelina Jolie's WWII Drama 'Unbroken'
26 February 2013 6:01 AM, PST | The Playlist | See recent The Playlist news »
As a director working with a studio for the first time, how do you know that everyone is fully behind you? Well, if you’re Angelina Jolie then you know you’re doing well when you land a pair of some of the greatest American writers (and directors) working today to write your script for you. THR is reporting that the Oscar-winning Coen Brothers -- and yes, the real ones, not the writers of “Garfield” -- have been tapped by Universal to rewrite “Unbroken.” Based on “Seabiscuit” author Laura Hillenbrand’s 2010 non-fiction book, the film will tell the true story of Louis Zamperini, a former Olympian who endured unbelievable hardship as a Japanese Pow during WWII. He was subjected to medical experiments, slave labor and brutal beatings, and became the target of one sadistic guard in particular, Mutsuhiro Watanabe, whose goal it was to break Zamperini. The athlete endured his »

Ethan and Joel Coen are set to rewrite the Angelina Jolie-directed Unbroken which follows World War II survivor Louis Zamperini, reports The Hollywood Reporter.

He was then washed ashore on a Japanese Island, and kept as a Pow for 2 years, where he was tortured by his captors. Also producing alongside Jolie are Erwin Stoff and Matthew Baer. »

Day-Lewis 85th Academy Awards acceptance speech You know you've made it to the very top when someone like two-time Oscar winner Steven Spielberg kneels for you. Well, sort of. In the above picture, 2013 Best Actor Academy Award winner Daniel Day-Lewis is seen chatting with his Lincoln director, Steven Spielberg. The well-received historical drama was this year's most nominated movie; yet, it ultimately won only two Oscars: Best Actor for Ddl and Best Production Design. Please see below Day-Lewis' Oscar acceptance speech. (Pictured above: Day-Lewis and Spielberg; presenter John Travolta and non-nonimated director Kathryn Bigelow can be seen schmoozing in the background. Scroll down to check out images of Radcliffe, Adele, Gere, and Gordon-Levitt.) Ddl: "I really don’t know how any of this happened. I do know that I’ve received so much more than my fair share of good fortune in my life and I »

Oscar winners explain why editing, sound editing, sound mixing, and cinematography Aren't technical categories
25 February 2013 9:51 AM, PST | EW - Inside Movies | See recent EW.com - Inside Movies news »
Leading up to the Oscars, we looked at four categories moviegoers may mistakenly think of as “technical.” The truth is, there were no technical categories in last night’s telecast: Every winner was honored for his or her creative contribution to the film. In case you missed those earlier pieces — which explain what editors, sound editors, sound mixers, and cinematographers actually do — here are excerpts from winners in those categories that prove the point:
Argo editor William Goldenberg:
“It sounds funny, but a lot of people tend to think it’s a purely technical job where you literally go in and cut slates off, »

William Goldenberg favored to win Best Editing Oscar for 'Argo'
21 February 2013 6:37 PM, PST | Gold Derby | See recent Gold Derby news »
Of all the tech categories at the Oscars, Best Editing is the one most closely tied to Best Picture. In the 77 years that the award has been handed out, 33 have gone to Best Picture winners, most recently "The Hurt Locker" (Chris Innis, Bob Murawski) in 2009. -Insertgroups:8- It seems fitting, then, that Best Picture front-runner "Argo" would be in the lead to take this prize. The film won the Ace Eddie Award in the Drama category, while fellow nominee "Silver Linings Playbook" took the Musical/Comedy prize. Both films face strong competition in the likes of fellow Best Picture nominees "Life of Pi," "Lincoln," and "Zero Dark Thirty." Here’s a look at the chances of each nominee: William Goldenberg, "Argo" 2012 has been a good year for William Goldenberg: the former two-time nominee ("The Insider," 1999; "Seabiscuit," 2003) picked up his third and fourth bids this year »
Oscar-nominated editors clear up the biggest misconception about their category (and explain the decisions you may not know they're making)

Leading up to Sunday’s Oscars, EW.com will take a closer look at four categories that moviegoers may mistakenly think of as “technical.” First up: Film Editing, with insights from Life of Pi’s Tim Squyres, Silver Linings Playbook’s Jay Cassidy and Crispin Struthers, and Zero Dark Thirty’s Dylan Tichenor and William Goldenberg, the latter of whom also cut Argo, making him one of only a handful of editors in Oscar history to compete with himself. Lincoln’s Michael Kahn completes the category. (Update: Read our Sound Editing, Sound Mixing, and Cinematography pieces.)

Costume Designers Honor Princess Hathaway & Anna Karenina
20 February 2013 4:22 PM, PST | FilmExperience | See recent FilmExperience news »
The last (I think?) guild has spoken. And they have announced the movies (and tv) that were 'Clothed In Immense Power' for 2012. Apologies to Lincoln for stealing their line ...but at least they were nominated!
The evening included Career Achievement Awards to Eduardo Castro a frequent Emmy nominee with shows like "Ugly Betty" and "Once Upon a Time" under his belt and Judianna Makovsky who made waves this past spring with Hunger Games and costumed films as diverse as the original Harry Potter, Seabiscuit, and Reversal of Fortune. There was also a special award, the Lacoste Spotlight Award to Anne Hathaway because Guilds generally find a way to honor a movie star or famous director during their ceremonies.
Her award seems to be a crystal alligator of some sort and it looks like she's inviting it to eat Russell Crowe's diaphragm in the photos. Hey, anything to stop him »

Recruited: William Goldenberg talks about Zero Dark Thirty
23 January 2013 11:21 PM, PST | Flickeringmyth | See recent Flickeringmyth news »
Trevor Hogg chats with William Goldenberg about his film editing work on Zero Dark Thirty with colleague Dylan Tichenor which has captured them international awards recognition...
“We finished Argo [2012] in June and the movie didn’t come out until October,” recalls William Goldenberg who immediately went from the historical thriller detailing the CIA rescue of six American embassy workers in Iran to the true life tale chronicling the decade long hunt for Osama bin Laden which fatally concludes in Pakistan. “I was able to jump onto Zero Dark Thirty [2012] in the middle [of the production] but it meant having no time off. I think I had a weekend.” The film editor did feel the weight of history when assembling the pictures. “Of the two movies I did this year there was more pressure on Zero Dark Thirty because of the recentness of the events.” Goldenberg notes, “You feel responsibility to doing justice to »

Lance Armstrong Movie In Works and Willis Will be Back for 'Sin City 2' Joined by Liotta, Piven and Temple
21 January 2013 7:13 AM, PST | Rope of Silicon | See recent Rope Of Silicon news »
1.) While Al Pacino is all set to play Joe Paterno in Brian De Palma's Happy Valley, the wheels are also in motion for a big-screen take on the life of another disgraced sports hero: Lance Armstrong. Paramount and J.J. Abrams' Bad Robot have closed a deal to the rights for Juliet Marcur's upcoming biography "Cycle of Lies: The Fall of Lance Armstrong", just days after Armstrong confessed to years of cheating and denial in an interview with Oprah. Gary Ross (The Hunger Games, Seabiscuit) was at one point attached to direct an Armstrong movie for Sony starring the biker's buddy Jake Gyllenhaal, but hat was a few years ago, and the theme around Armstrong's story has greatly shifted from "inspirational sports story" to "epic fall from grace." Personally, I don't see the drama in a feature film based on a story so recent and fresh on most of our minds. »

Stranger Than Fiction: William Goldenberg talks about Argo
17 January 2013 8:38 AM, PST | Flickeringmyth | See recent Flickeringmyth news »
Trevor Hogg chats with film editor William Goldenberg about working with Ben Affleck and the challenges of assembling Argo...
“Ben [Affleck] was a much more sophisticated director on Argo [2012] than he was on Gone Baby Gone [2007],” observes William Goldenberg who assembled the directorial debut as well as the third effort from the Hollywood actor who is becoming more comfortable sitting in the director’s chair. “I don’t think Ben felt that he had a true understanding how to tell the story with a camera like he does now. It is interesting to watch him direct himself. I asked him about it. It comes from a certain amount of experience before he ever got behind the camera and directed. Ben has done a lot of movies as an actor and was a real student of film and directing before he ever directed.” The Academy Award nominated film editor explains, “What he »

Inside the Brentwood Dream House of Judd Apatow's 'This Is 40' (Photos)
11 January 2013 8:00 AM, PST | The Hollywood Reporter | See recent The Hollywood Reporter news »
This story first appeared in the Jan. 18 issue of The Hollywood Reporter magazine. The comfortable white-shingled residence in Universal’s This Is 40 is inspiring the type of real-estate lust normally given to the houses in all those Nancy Meyers movies. “It’s gotten quite a response,” says Oscar-nominated set decorator Leslie Pope (Seabiscuit). Director Judd Apatow shot a good portion of the movie — about a record exec and his wife, a clothing boutique owner (Paul Rudd and Leslie Mann, Apatow’s real wife), turning 40 and facing financial struggles — in a Brentwood house owned by
