New 2013 TV Season Breakdown: ABC

14 May 2013 9:57 PM, PDT | Dark Horizons | See recent Dark Horizons news »

The Fall TV Season presentations for all the new network shows take place this week with the third announced earlier today. Here's a full breakdown of which concepts have made the final list over on ABC.

The network is changing up some of its serialized dramas - removing random repeats in favor of two "uninterrupted runs" of twelve episodes each (one in the fall, one in the spring) for shows like "Once Upon A Time," "Grey’s Anatomy," "Scandal" and "Revenge". The large gaps between the two half-seasons will be bridged by "limited series" designed around only 12-13 episode seasons.

Several other pilots didn't make the final cut and won't be seen including the high-profile "League of Extraordinary Gentlemen" rip-off "Gothica", McG's rip-off of Baz Luhrmann's "Romeo + Juliet" entitled "Westside", the series based on Disneyland's Big Thunder Mountain ride, the Annie Potts-led "Murder in Manhattan" about »

'Atonement' Joe Wright will not direct 'Fifty Shades of Grey'

14 May 2013 1:52 AM, PDT | Digital Spy | See recent Digital Spy - Movie News news »

Joe Wright will not direct Fifty Shades of Grey.

It was rumoured last week that the Atonement and Hanna director was in the running to direct Focus Features' adaptation of El James's bestselling erotic novel.

However, Deadline now confirms that Wright's schedule means that he is "completely out of the mix".

Bennett Miller (Moneyball) and Patty Jenkins (Monster) have also been named as contenders, while Gus Van Sant recently filmed a test scene with Alex Pettyfer in a bid for the directing job.

Fifty Shades of Grey will be produced by Michael De Luca and Dana Brunetti (The Social Network) for Universal and Focus. Kelly Marcel (Saving Mr Banks) has been hired to write the screenplay.

Will He Direct 'Fifty Shades'?

10 May 2013 6:06 AM, PDT | Huffington Post | See recent Huffington Post news »

The "Fifty Shades of Grey" movie just got a bit more legitimate. As first reported by THR and later confirmed by Variety, Joe Wright is the top choice to direct the upcoming adaptation of E L James' S&M love story.

Focus Features, the studio producing the film along with its parent company Universal, did not confirm Wright's involvement, but the connection makes sense: Wright has made four films with Focus, including 2007 Best Picture nominee "Atonement" and last year's "Anna Karenina." Both of those films -- along with "Pride and Prejudice," another Wright-Focus collaboration -- starred Keira Knightley in lead roles. There is no connection, though, between "Fifty Shades of Grey" protagonist Anastasia Steele and the 28-year-old British actress.

According to Variety, Wright wasn't the only big name on the "Fifty Shades of Grey" director wish list. Bill Condon ("Twilight: Breaking Dawn"), Patty Jenkins ("Monster") and Bennett Miller ("Moneyball »

Joe Wright Becomes Frontrunner for Fifty Shades Of Grey Director's Chair

10 May 2013 5:35 AM, PDT | cinemablend.com | See recent Cinema Blend news »

Between its widespread popularity and steamy subject matter of the novel, a movie version of E.L. James' Fifty Shades of Grey has been a hot topic for over a year now. Who will star!? Who will helm? While Krysten Ritter and Mila Kunis have leaned in to potentially playing the female lead of Anastasia Steele, Emma Watson has flatly denied rumors she was in contention for the part. As for directors, Angelina Jolie was rumored. Then Gus Van Sant lobbied for the job, now THR reports Bennett Miller (Money Ball) and Patty Jenkins (Monster) are also being considered. But the frontrunner is reportedly Joe Wright. The English auteur has been responsible for three lusciously realized adaptations of heartbreaking romances, the Academy Award-winning Atonement, the BAFTA-winning Pride & Prejudice, and insanely sumptuous Oscar winner Anna Karenina. So, it makes some simple sense that he'd be considered for the Fifty Shades of »

50 Shades of Grey: Joe Wright set for director's chair

Atonement director reportedly frontrunner for film adaptation of El James's notorious knee-trembler

Joe Wright, the acclaimed British director of Atonement, Pride & Prejudice and Anna Karenina, has emerged as the surprise frontrunner to direct the forthcoming big-screen adaptation of "mommy porn" literary sensation 50 Shades of Grey, according to the Hollywood Reporter.

The trade bible says Wright is currently top of Universal's list for the film version of El James's infamous knee-trembler, which has been the subject of rabid speculation ever since the studio announced the production in July 2012. Another Brit, TV screenwriter Kelly Marcel, is in charge of the script.

But there has been no official word on cast or director, much to the chagrin of James's legions of fans. Among those tipped to star as kinky billionaire businessman Christian Grey and his initially virginal paramour-turned-willing sex slave Anastasia Steele are Ryan Gosling, Mila Kunis, James Deen and Emma Watson, though »

Atonement Director in Talks for Fifty Shades of Grey Movie

10 May 2013 4:17 AM, PDT | WorstPreviews.com | See recent Worst Previews news »

It was recently reported that director Gus Van Sant (Good Will Hunting) and actor Alex Pettyfer (Magic Mike) shot a scene from the "Fifty Shades of Grey" book in order to convince Universal Pictures that Van Sant is the right man to direct the "Fifty Shades of Grey" film. The studio is definitely considering Van Sant, but it has also been in talks with Bennett Miller (Moneyball) and Patty Jenkins (Monster). And now comes word that Joe Wright (Atonement, Pride and Prejudice, Hanna, Anna Karenina) is also in talks and has become the favorite to get the job. Universal likes Wright because so many of his movies focus on young female characters. "Fifty Shades of Grey" chronicles a sexual relationship between college student Anastasia Steele and billionaire Christian Grey. »

Joe Wright Is A Likely Candidate To Direct Fifty Shades Of Grey

10 May 2013 3:02 AM, PDT | We Got This Covered | See recent We Got This Covered news »

Universal’s Fifty Shades Of Grey adaptation has gone through the rumour mill quite a bit. Practically everyone who’s ever worked in the industry has at some point been attached. Now, The Wrap reports that Anna Karenina director Joe Wright is the frontrunner in Universal and Focus Pictures’ shortlist of suitable candidates. Also on the list are Gus Van Sant (Elephant, Last Days), Patty Jenkins (Monster) and Bennett Miller (Moneyball).

Apparently, two of the film’s producers, Michael De Luca and Dana Brunetti, are keen for Wright to take the gig. Focus have previously assumed distribution duties on four of Wright’s films, so having an established relationship with the director might sway things his way.

Wright’s name has been bandied about a whole host of projects recently too, including a remake of My Fair Lady. He’s brought out strong performances from leading ladies in recent years. »

As for Wright, four of his five feature films have been distributed by Focus and three of those four have also featured Keira Knightley, which is sure to spark immediate speculation as to whether or not the actress will »

Joe Wright linked to Fifty Shades Of Grey movie

9 May 2013 10:47 PM, PDT | Den of Geek | See recent Den of Geek news »

News Simon Brew 10 May 2013 - 06:46

Could the director of Hanna and Atonement be directing Fifty Shades Of Grey?

Well, crikey. Universal is still pressing ahead with its plans to make a movie based on the book of respectable hardcore pornography, Fifty Shades Of Grey. And while the spurious casting guessing game appears to have ground to a halt for the time being, Variety has linked some surprising names with the director's chair.

Kelly Marcell is working on a script for the movie now, but Universal's top choice to direct the film is apparently Joe Wright. The same Joe Wright who made Atonement, Hanna and, more recently, Anna Karenina.

Other names linked with the job? Patty Jenkins (Monster), Bill Condon (the last two Twilight films), Bennett Miller (Capote, Moneyball) and Gus Van Sant (lots of things). Variety also reports that at one stage, Steven Soderbergh was a consideration.

’50 Shades of Grey’ Flirts With Director Joe Wright

9 May 2013 10:35 PM, PDT | Variety - Film News | See recent Variety - Film News news »

After a lengthy search, Universal and Focus Features seem to be closer to starting production on their much-anticipated adaptation of “Fifty Shades of Grey.”

Several sources tell Variety that while no deal is in place, Joe Wright is the choice to helm the feature adaptation of the steamy E.L. James novel.

Though some reports say Wright has not won the job, one insider very close to the production says he is the man.

Universal had no comment.

U, Focus and producers Michael De Luca and Dana Brunetti had been looking for some time for a director who could bring prestige to a book described by many as “mommy porn.” It’s a tricky project since following the book closely would inevitably result in an commercially undesirable Nc-17 rating, while going easy on the sensuous elements of the story could disappoint fans of the runaway bestseller that started as an e-book derived from “Twilight” fan fiction. »

Global Village: India Gets Tough on Smoking, Italy Tough on Pirates, More

India

A Tough Tobacco Road

A recent study by researchers in India and the U.K. has reinforced a strict anti-smoking campaign begun last year by the central board of film classification that requires any actor who portrays a character seen smoking in a film or TV program to make an anti-smoking video. Bollywood audiences have been exposed to more than 14 billion images of tobacco use every year, according to the paper, by Delhi Ngo Hriday and London’s Imperial College, titled Tobacco Imagery in Bollywood Films: 2006-2008. The study analyzed 44 top-grossing films released in that period. The central board’s campaign stipulates that the anti-smoking vids, each 20-seconds long, must in the case of a movie run before the start of the film and at intermission (all films released in India have intermissions). In addition, an anti-smoking message must be displayed during the smoking scene.

Looking ahead to Phase Two of the Marvel Cinematic Universe

30 April 2013 7:24 AM, PDT | Den of Geek | See recent Den of Geek news »

Feature Mark Harrison 1 May 2013 - 06:57

With The Avengers closing Marvel's Phase One, Mark looks ahead to the movies the studio has in store for Phase Two...

This article may contain spoilers for The Avengers, and for some of the movies that led up to it. It may also contain mild spoilers for Iron Man 3.

It's tough to think of a cinematic undertaking as vast as Marvel Studios' continuity of films since 2008's Iron Man. While The Lord Of The Rings and Harry Potter were both massive film productions based on a literary property, the first phase of Marvel's plan also cross-pollinated between respective franchises, all leading up to the big crossover in The Avengers.

On its own, The Avengers would have served as a nice conclusion to that series of inter-connected comic book movies, but it also marked the first chapter of a new story, which will »
