Yep, Spike Jonze is belatedly following up Thn favourite Where The Wild Things Are with an as yet untitled film which is gathering quite the stellar line-up. So far on board, Jonze has Joaquin Phoenix (Walk The Line), Rooney Mara (The Girl With The Dragon Tattoo), Amy Adams (The Muppets), Samantha Morton (Minority Report) and now, newly confirmed, Olivia Wilde (Tron: Legacy).
That is quite the roll-call and with a story apparently based around a man who falls in love with a computers voice this should be must-watch Spike Jonze, if that’s your thing and it’s definitely mine.
Set for a release next year we’ll keep you updated on all of the news regarding this exciting project.

Here's our first look at Andre Benjamin as Jimi Hendrix in the unofficial biopic currently being filmed in Ireland. All Is By My Side is being helmed by writer/director John Ridley for Darko Entertainment.
As expected when we first reported this casting, Benjamin truly looks the part. The musician has quite the filmography under his belt now, and I haven't seen anyone too upset with him taking on the role of the legendary guitarist. The bigger factor to question is Ridley, who is in his feature directorial debut and has credits mostly in comedic television writing.
In the pics from the set, we also get a look at Captain America: The First Avenger star Hayley Atwell as Linda Keith, the woman who discovered Hendrix. Not seen here, but also cast is Imogen Poots (Fright Night).
Official Movie Description: In “All Is By My Side,” there’s rock music. Then there's Jimi Hendrix. »

New Party Game! In apropos of nothing, we’ve spent the last two days coming up with Celebrities Whose Names Sound Like Game Of Thrones Characters – meaning, actors, musicians, athletes, and other famous people whose real-life names contain some combination of fantasy-ness, pseudo-ethnicity, and juuust-slightly-offitude worthy of a bonafide Westeros inhabitant.

Terry O'Quinn as Gavin Doran in "666 Park Avenue" (ABC/Andrew Eccles)
ABC‘s slate of new shows for fall has a strange flavor to it, and it’s going to be a bumpy ride. The network has about as many new shows as returning ones (if you count all the midseasons), and a good percentage of the returning offerings are a year old or less, making this look a bit like a rebuilding year.
Not only is it a rebuilding year, but it’s the year of bringing back every actor and actress who ever had a decent run on a show before. I don’t think I’ve ever seen a network’s new season slate that was so crammed with people returning from something else. If you can’t make it good, I suppose, make sure viewers recognize the faces.
It’s tricky to get a solid feel »

I’m a massive Paul Thomas Anderson fan, his work thus far is incomparable in my opinion to any film-maker working today in terms of consistency and depth of story; therefore I and a couple of others at Thn are excited to be able to give you the first trailer for his latest The Master. Centring around the leader of a faith based Us organisation and his right hand man the films trailer gives nothing away – other than a bang on form Joaquin Phoenix (To Die For, Walk The Line) – and this has only added to the excitement.
With Boogie Nights and Magnolia amongst others on his CV this looks like it could be another Paul Thomas Anderson masterpiece so have a look at the trailer and let us know if you agree with my unashamed praise:
The Master also stars Philip Seymour Hoffman, Amy Adams and Laura Dern and, »

Here is your first look at Paul Thomas Anderson's 'The Master' courtesy of the teaser trailer below. The film stars Philip Seymour Hoffman, Joaquin Phoenix, Jesse Plemons, David Warshofsky, Amy Adams and Rami Malek.
Written and directed by Academy Award nominee Paul Thomas Anderson (the acclaimed director of, There Will Be Blood, Magnolia and Boogie Nights), this story stars Academy Award winner Philip Seymour Hoffman (Capote) and Academy Award-nominee Joaquin Phoenix (Walk the Line).
Set in America in the years following World War II, a charismatic intellectual (Hoffman) launches a faith-based organization and taps a young drifter (Phoenix) as his right-hand man. But as the faith begins to gain a fervent following, the onetime vagabond finds himself questioning the belief system he has embraced, and his mentor.

Paul Thomas Anderson’s The Master has been a few years in the making, and already the buzz surrounding it has set it up as one of the year’s most highly anticipated projects.
Starring Philip Seymour Hoffman and Joaquin Phoenix in the leads, The Weinstein Company have given the film an October release date, clearly stating the intention for running an awards campaign for the Oscars next year.
Megan Ellison, who has been an integral part for producing this and a number of other projects in recent years, has just tweeted the first teaser clip from the film, after word came recently that TWC would be unveiling footage from the film at Cannes tonight. Her tweet takes you to (what could become the official website) www.themasterfilm.com, which brings us this first look at footage from the film.

CBS has unveiled a preview for its upcoming "Vegas" TV series, which is a 1960's period piece about the early days of Las Vegas. It stars Dennis Quaid, Michael Chiklis, and Carrie-Anne Moss. Check it out below. Plot: The story focuses on Ralph Lamb (Quaid), a cowboy turned sheriff of Las Vegas, and Johnny Savino (Chiklis), a Chicago mob fixer. In a vast desert with unlimited opportunities, where no man is all good or all bad, Savino's entrepreneurial vision collides with the law-and-order mandate of the sheriff. "Vegas" is created by Oscar-nominated writer/director James Mangold (3:10 to Yuma, Walk the Line) and Oscar-nominated writer Nicholas Pileggi (Casino, Goodfellas). Mangold directed the pilot episode, which is set to premiere on the network later this fall. Video: »

CBS has announced its lineup of new shows for the fall premiere slots. I am not impressed. What merit I see in these three crime shows and single comedy, I have to squint to make out.
Sure, they all have enough talent to at least earn them air time. Nothing that will be blowing off wigs any time soon, though. The names Lucy Liu, Nicholas Pileggi and James Mangold just don’t have the draw they used to.
Of the upcoming shows, we have Partners, Elementary, Vegas and Made in Jersey. You can probably deduce which one is the comedy, Watson.
Hint, hint – it’s not Elementary. As we covered previously, that’s a Sherlock Holmes reincarnation set in modern day NYC with the master detective and his therapist, Lucy “Dr. Watson” Liu, solving crimes. It has “depressing, understated sibling to Castle” written all over it.
But hey, who could »

Story: CBS' 2012-13 Schedule The Lamb hour landed one of pilot season's big casting "gets," booking Dennis Quaid as the former rodeo star-turned-lawman and filling out its cast with A-listers including Michael Chiklis, Jason O'Mara and Carrie-Anne Moss.

Here’s a bit of good news:
Tfh guru and friend-of-the-site Allison Anders will direct The June Carter Cash Story, an original movie about the life of June Carter Cash (wife of Johnny). The movie will star Jewel and starts filming (ahem) this June in Atlanta, for a schedule premiere on Lifetime this fall. I’d break down all the posts in the trades (Deadline! The Hollywood Reporter!), but Allison was kind enough to give us the lowdown directly.
[The June Carter Cash Story] tells June Carter’s story from her point of view (so it’s different from Walk The Line which was about Cash). While the film is also about her marriage to Johnny Cash, even his drug problem is focused back on June and her own recovery. The film is also about her life as a girl in Virginia in the Carter Family, her first two marriages, her children, and her own creativity — her drive, »

The long rumoured Jimi Hendrix biopic, starring Andre Benjamin, is finally set to shoot in Ireland later this month.
The Jimi Hendrix biopic is a project that's surprisingly taken a long time to go before the cameras. Sure, there have been previous efforts at doing a biopic of Jimi Hendrix, with numerous actors being attached and dropping out but now, finally, it looks as though the wait is over. And All By My Side is set to star Outkast’s Andre 3000 (Andre Benjamin) as Hendrix.
The film is written by John Ridley, the man behind the story to Three Kings, Red Tails and the next Steve McQueen Michael Fassbender project Twelve Years As A Slave. It's being funded by The Irish Film & Television Network (Iftn), and will shoot in and around Ireland, with the production set to go underway in three weeks time.
Here’s what Iftn have to say »
