Helena Bonham-Carter And Kathy Bates Sign On To Jean-Pierre Jeunet's 'The Young And Prodigious Spivet'
16 May 2012 5:12 PM, PDT | The Playlist | See recent The Playlist news »
Given that he directed one of the most successful French films of all time, in the shape of 2001's still-delightful "Amelie," it's surprising that director Jean-Pierre Jeunet hasn't worked in Hollywood more. But then again, given that his only English-language picture to date was the woeful "Alien: Resurrection," perhaps it's not so surprising after all. Hollywood has come calling, of course: the director was courted to make films including "Life of Pi," "Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix" and "Mirror Mirror," but he's generally preferred to march to the beat of his own drum, with two French-language pictures in the last decade, the underrated "A Very Long Engagement," and the slight, but enjoyable, "MicMacs."
But finally, Jeunet is about to cross the Atlantic again: since last year, he's been working on a second-English language feature, a 3D adaptation of Reif Larsen's cult 2009 novel "The Selected Works Of T. »

Dark Shadows review
8 May 2012 8:31 AM, PDT | Den of Geek | See recent Den of Geek news »
Johnny Depp heads up a starry cast in Tim Burton's latest gothic outing, Dark Shadows. Here's Michael's review...
If we were in the business of giving out ‘tl;dr’ versions of our reviews, we’d have this to say about Dark Shadows: yep, all the doubts and fears inspired by the film’s trailer are dead on target.
For the last ten or so years, since the sentimental Big Fish, Tim Burton has been honing his previously odd, gothic-meets-kitsch aesthetic into a rich, pristine gloss, all the while trampling on familiar properties from Sweeney Todd to Willy Wonka. 2010’s Alice In Wonderland was not only Burton’s most expensive, but his most successful film to date, but it found the director, who was once feted as the most distinctive of modern Hollywood visionaries, slipping towards humdrum mundanity.
Here, Burton is once more playing with other people’s creations, »
'The Raven', 'Five-Year Engagement', And More: Double Feature Friday!
27 April 2012 12:35 PM, PDT | MTV Movies Blog | See recent MTV Movies Blog news »
This week at the movies may be remembered by future generations as "the weekend before 'The Avengers' came out," but there are a few movies worth checking out this weekend, "Sound of My Voice" being the clear standout of the group. If you're looking for some movies to watch this weekend, we've got your playlist.
Check out this week's Double Feature Friday!
Perhaps before heading to the theater to learn about Edgar Allen Poe's favorite bird, you can check out a different gothic feathered friend. Director Alex Proyas made a name for himself as a visual stylist with this comic book adaptation. The story of a murdered rock star, who rises from the dead for revenge, is remembered most for being the movie where Brandon Lee died. (The commercial for the Blu-ray re-release grossly brags that it's Lee's "final tragic performance.") Lee's performance is definitely one worth seeking out, »

Audrey Tautou Returns to the Screen in 'Delicacy'
5 April 2012 9:00 AM, PDT | backstage.com | See recent Backstage news »
At the end of a conversation with French actor Audrey Tautou at the Empire Hotel overlooking Lincoln Center, she asks for a photo. She stands and moves toward me with a camera in her hand, poised to take a snapshot—but not of the two of us, just me."Otherwise I will forget who I met in New York," she says with a smile, her almond eyes and brunet curls peeping up from behind the lens. Then the shutter clicks and she waves goodbye.It is really the only moment in our interaction reminiscent of the role that made Tautou an overnight sensation at 24: the titular character in writer-director Jean-Pierre Jeunet's "Amélie." In the 11 years since, she has matured into one of France's biggest names, starring in such films as "A Very Long Engagement" in 2004, "Priceless" in 2006, and "Coco Before Chanel" in 2009.In the new romantic comedy "Delicacy, »

9 English-Speaking Stars Who Got Subtitled
13 March 2012 11:00 AM, PDT | NextMovie | See recent NextMovie news »
In "Casa de mi Padre" Will Ferrell plays a Mexican rancher in the middle of one seriously loco drug war. In order to commit fully to the role, the "Anchorman" star spent months brushing up on his language skills for the entirely Spanish-language comedy.
That's a lot of effort for a few laughs. But Ferrell is in good company with the following actors who took their performances to the next level by speaking in a foreign tongue, be it for a couple scenes or an entire film.
Jodie Foster in 'A Very Long Engagement' (2004)
Language: French
After graduating as valedictorian from her French-language prep school Lycée Français de Los Angeles as a teen, it's no wonder this two-time Oscar winner was able to secure a role with director Jean-Pierre Jeunet ("Amelie"). For the World War I romance "A Very Long Engagement" Foster holds her own as Élodie Gordes, »

Marion Cotillard Kicks Off the Césars With Her Man Guillaume Canet
17 January 2012 8:13 AM, PST | Popsugar.com | See recent Popsugar news »
Marion Cotillard got fancy in Dior for a dinner last night at Paris's Le Meurice hotel. The evening was organized in support of France's César Awards, their equivalent of the Oscars, and in particular their Most Promising Young Actor category. It was a rare night out for Marion alongside her boyfriend Guillaume Canet, who is the father of her young son Marcel. Guillaume, who won a César in 2010 for directing Tell No One, will actually host the 2012 ceremony on Feb. 24. He was also crowned Most Promising Young Actor back in 1998. Marion, meanwhile, has two Césars of her own, one for A Very Long Engagement and another for La Vie en Rose, which also earned her an Academy Award. View Slideshow › »
