Which Smaller Movies Are You Most Anticipating This Summer?
16 May 2013 8:00 PM, PDT | Movies.com | See recent Movies.com news »
One of the most anticipated movies of the summer opens this weekend. Besides Star Trek Into Darkness, that is. It's called Frances Ha, and it's the latest from Noah Baumbach, writer and director of The Squid and the Whale and Margot at the Wedding as well as cowriter of the Wes Anderson films Fantastic Mr. Fox and The Life Aquatic with Steve Zissou. And it stars and is cowritten by his girlfriend, indie darling Greta Gerwig, who previously collaborated with the filmmaker on Greenberg. With stellar reviews and otherwise strong buzz since its festival appearances at Telluride, Toronto and New York last fall, it's long been a dependable film to look forward to. Many of the summer's small movies, the counterprogramming alternatives to tentpoles like Star Trek and all...

Four behind-the-scenes images from The Wolverine
16 May 2013 6:28 AM, PDT | Flickeringmyth | See recent Flickeringmyth news »
Bryan Singer delivered a new image from X-Men: Days of Future Past earlier this week featuring Hugh Jackman's Wolverine alongside Nicholas Hoult's Beast, and now director James Mangold has taken to Twitter himself to remind us that Jackman has another solo outing arriving prior to next year's mutant ensemble by releasing four new behind-the-scenes images from July's The Wolverine....
"Based on the celebrated comic book arc, this epic action-adventure takes Wolverine, the most iconic character of the X-Men universe, to modern day Japan. Out of his depth in an unknown world he will face a host of unexpected and deadly opponents in a life-or-death battle that will leave him forever changed. Vulnerable for the first time and pushed to his physical and emotional limits, he confronts not only lethal samurai steel but also his inner struggle against his own immortality."
The Wolverine is set for release on July 26th, »

‘Frances Ha’, the newest film from Noah Baumbach, releases a scene that required 42 takes
10 May 2013 7:11 AM, PDT | SoundOnSight | See recent SoundOnSight news »
Filmmaker Noah Baumbach has, over the years, garnered critical acclaim from many quarters, both for his own efforts, such as Kicking and Screaming and The Squid and the Whale and for his collaborations with fellow auteur Wes Anderson, on efforts such as The Life Aquatic with Steve Zissou and The Fantastic Mr. Fox. With his last solo feature being released in 2010, many people were excited to see him return to the director’s chair with a new film. Titled Frances Ha, the Greta Gerwig-starring feature has one notable scene that only lasts for 30 seconds yet, due to the nature of the scene, required 42 simultaneous takes during shooting. In Gerwig’s own words, getting the scene right took two hours of work, and what we see onscreen is the final product, free of editing. The scene can be seen below.

‘Lost in Translation’ brings silence and window gazing to the screen
7 May 2013 11:03 AM, PDT | SoundOnSight | See recent SoundOnSight news »
Directed by Sofia Coppola
Written by Sofia Coppola
2003, USA
Ahead of this month’s screening of Sofia Coppola’s The Bling Ring at Cannes, I finally broke down and watched her sophomore directing effort, Lost in Translation. I loved seeing Bill Murray’s comeback via every Wes Anderson film but had always overlooked Coppola’s depiction of Murray as the washed up actor in Tokyo. Couched between The Royal Tenenbaums and The Life Aquatic with Steve Zissou, Lost in Translation presents Murray in a role much more akin to his own experiences as an actor.
Bill Murray plays Bob Harris, a jaded and ageing actor whose glory days are far behind him. He comes to Tokyo to shoot an ad for whiskey. It is clear that Harris attempts to avoid new experiences as a matter of habit, and he is only in Japan to earn $2 million. Given Harris sour demeanor and age, »

New poster for The Wolverine focuses on the Silver Samurai
6 May 2013 10:04 AM, PDT | Flickeringmyth | See recent Flickeringmyth news »
Last week we got our first look at Will Yun Lee's (Total Recall) Silver Samurai in action against Hugh Jackman's Logan in The Wolverine thanks to the arrival of the CinemaCon trailer for the upcoming X-Men solo sequel, and now director James Mangold has tweeted a new theatrical poster for the movie which adopts the same style as the first teaser poster and focuses on the Japanese antagonist. Judging by the sheer size of the Silver Samurai, it's surprising this isn't the IMAX poster...

Earlier this week Warner Bros. decided to offer up a treat by making the WonderCon exclusive trailer for Pacific Rim available to all online, and now 20th Century Fox has followed suit by giving us a new look The Wolverine courtesy of the official CinemaCon trailer. Packed into its one minute running time is plenty of new footage, including a brief glimpse at Hugh Jackman's Logan going up against the (absolutely giant) Silver Samurai, played by Will Yun Lee (Total Recall)...

New international trailer for The Wolverine
23 April 2013 2:57 PM, PDT | Flickeringmyth | See recent Flickeringmyth news »
It's certainly an exciting time for comic book movie fans at the moment, what with the recent Man of Steel trailer, today's Thor: The Dark World trailer and the impending release of Iron Man 3 (which we'll be reviewing in just a few short hours), and now 20th Century Fox has got in on the act with a new international trailer for The Wolverine, which sees Hugh Jackman heading to Japan for his sixth appearance as the X-Men's adamantium-clawed mutant Logan. Sadly, there's only a few snippets of footage in this latest preview, but seeing as it took an eternity for the official trailer to land, it could be a while before we get to see any more...
The Wolverine (or Wolverine: Samurai, as it's now titled in Japan) is directed by James Mangold (Knight and Day) and is based upon the 1982 comic book miniseries by Chris Claremont and Frank Miller. »

This week has seen a flood of superhero news, with Marvel Studios pushing full-steam ahead on the Iron Man 3 marketing blitz, Warner Bros. dropping the latest Man of Steel trailer, Universal releasing the first clip from Kick-Ass 2, spy photos giving us our first look at Jamie Foxx as Electro in The Amazing Spider-Man 2, and cameras starting to roll on both Captain America: The Winter Soldier and X-Men: Days of Future Past (it's going to be a bumper Week in Spandex tomorrow, that's for sure). But, if that's not enough to satisfy your superhero appetite for the week, we now have three new images from The Wolverine featuring Hugh Jackman's adamantium-clawed mutant going up against a team of ninjas courtesy of ReviewSTL:

Here Are Illustrated Floor Plans for Your Favorite Wes Anderson Movies
16 April 2013 7:58 AM, PDT | NextMovie | See recent NextMovie news »
Consider this scenario: You're visiting the Tenenbaums at 111 Archer Avenue. You need to find the ballroom, but you don't know where the ballroom is, and it's a big house. Richie is watching old tennis highlights of himself, Margot is fighting with Raleigh, and Chas is putting the boys to bed, so there's no one to help you. What to do?
Enter Jennifer Lewis of Flavorwire's detailed floor plans of the homes of Wes Anderson films — not just that of 111 Archer Ave from "The Royal Tenenbaums," but also of the Belafonte from "The Life Aquatic with Steve Zissou," Summer's End from "Moonrise Kingdom," and Beech Tree from "Fantastic Mr. Fox." (If you're taking the hike to Archer, it stands to reason that you might also visit the other three.) With the Tenenbaum home floor plan in hand in the opening scenario, you'd walk straight to the fourth floor without any Tenenbaum »

It's a big week for fans of Marvel's adamantium-clawed X-Man, with 20th Century Fox finally set to debut the first trailer for director James Mangold's solo X-Men sequel The Wolverine on Wednesday. To whet our appetites, two new posters have been released this morning, the first which features Hugh Jackman as a rather-furious looking Logan on the rain-soaked streets of Japan...
...and the second, which arrived via Coming Soon, sees him surrounded by a bunch of ninjas (and doesn't look anywhere near as impressive as the first, if you ask me)...
On top of the two posters we also have eight new stills from The Wolverine via Entertainment Weekly, which includes our first official look at Svetlana Khodchenkova (Tinker Tailor Soldier Spy) as Viper and newcomers Rila Fukushima as Yukio and Tao Okamoto as Mariko Yashida...

Hugh Jackman, Will Yun Lee and James Mangold on The Wolverine
19 March 2013 12:14 AM, PDT | Flickeringmyth | See recent Flickeringmyth news »
Now that the first trailer for The Wolverine has been confirmed as dropping alongside G.I. Joe: Retaliation on Wednesday, March 27th, it seems that 20th Century Fox are about to lift the publicity blackout on the upcoming solo sequel. Speaking to Total Film (via Cbm), star Hugh Jackman offered up some thoughts on his latest X-Men adventure - specifically, how it differs from previous instalments in the superhero franchise:
"I'm thrilled the studio called it The Wolverine instead of Wolverine 2, because we're trying to set it up as a standalone picture," said Jackman, referring to 2009's disappointing standalone spin-off X-Men Origins: Wolverine. "Tonally, it's different from the other X-Men movies. It's got massive action sequences, as people would expect, and it'll be great fun. But it is a character-driven movie. It's about a guy completely out of his element, in this world that's foreign to him, and how he copes with that. »

Three cast photos from The Wolverine

Well, it's not a trailer, but it's better than nothing... director James Mangold has moved to appease the growing impatience among the X-Men fan community over the lack of a first trailer for The Wolverine by releasing three cast photos from the upcoming solo sequel, featuring Hugh Jackman (Logan) and Japanese actresses Rila Fukushima (Yukio) and Tao Okamoto (Mariko):
"Based on the celebrated comic book arc, this epic action-adventure takes Wolverine, the most iconic character of the X-Men universe, to modern day Japan. Out of his depth in an unknown world he faces his ultimate nemesis in a life-or-death battle that will leave him forever changed.

Steve Buscemi and 8 Other Serious Actors Who Tried Comedy
12 March 2013 7:00 AM, PDT | NextMovie | See recent NextMovie news »
Steve Buscemi is a Golden Globe-winning thespian responsible for such indelible characters as Nucky Thompson on "Boardwalk Empire," Carl Showalter in "Fargo" and Mr. Pink in "Reservoir Dogs." He's a serious man who makes serious films. And so it's only natural that this week he's about to co-star in his latest gritty drama: "The Incredible Burt Wonderstone"?
Okay, so Buscemi isn't exactly a complete stranger to comedy, either. After all, he was one of the main characters in the legendary 1998 cult classic "The Big Lebowski." But it's still jarring to see someone like Buscemi get dolled up as a Vegas magician and go toe to toe with the likes of Jim Carrey and Steve Carell in an all-out farce.
And that got us thinking: What other "serious" actors have taken a stab at comedy? Sure, funny folks like Carrey and Bill Murray have long transitioned to serious roles, but it's »

‘Frances Ha’, filmmaker Noah Baumbach’s return to directing, gets its first trailer
5 March 2013 4:53 PM, PST | SoundOnSight | See recent SoundOnSight news »
Since his moviemaking debut in 1995, filmmaker Noah Baumbach has garnered a steadily rising amount of critical acclaim, both for his own features, which include The Squid and the Whale and Greenberg, and for his collaborations with fellow auteur Wes Anderson on films such as The Life Aquatic with Steve Zissou and The Fantastic Mr. Fox. Despite written features of his making it into theatres, many people were eager to see Baumbach return to the director’s chair, leading to a certain level of excitement when he announced that he would be directing his own script once again for the first time since 2010, excitement that was compounded with the news that Greta Gerwig would be taking the lead role. Titled Frances Ha, the movie has now released its first trailer to accompany previously released clips, and the trailer can be seen below.

James Mangold reveals the films that have influenced The Wolverine
4 March 2013 11:14 PM, PST | Flickeringmyth | See recent Flickeringmyth news »
When it comes to the X-Men franchise, much of the talk lately has revolved around next year's mutant epic X-Men: Days of Future Past, which will see Bryan Singer (Jack the Giant Slayer) bringing together the casts of X-Men: First Class and the original X-Men trilogy, but before we get to that, Hugh Jackman (Les Miserables) is set to don the adamantium claws again this year for the solo sequel The Wolverine.
We're still waiting to see the first trailer from the film (which is expected to arrive alongside G.I. Joe: Retaliation this month), but in the meantime, director James Mangold (Knight and Day) has taken to Twitter to reveal what films have influenced his adaptation of the classic 1982 comic book series...

Ranking the Films of Wes Anderson
1 March 2013 6:26 PM, PST | SoundOnSight | See recent SoundOnSight news »
Last year’s Moonrise Kingdom was inarguably auteur director Wes Anderson’s most accessible film and received widespread critical acclaim. That said, his style is an acquired taste, and those who have acquired it continue to disagree when the subject turns to ranking his best films. Ranking his work, however, hinges on the successful combination of composition and performance. Anderson’s best films perfectly balance his familiar tropes with moving portrayals of human foibles and vulnerability.
The overall appeal of Wes Anderson films lies in their unique presentation, unity of vision, and endearingly asocial characters. The main criticism of Anderson’s work has been that his style is repetitive. This critique ignores the benefits of a self-possessed style and unity of vision, something to which many filmmakers only aspire. Anderson films consistently depict the universal dysfunctionality of characters and employ simple vertical and horizontal pans, lingering static shots, and an »

There's still a month or so to go until we get to feast our eyes on the first trailer for Hugh Jackman's sixth X-Men outing in The Wolverine, but to tide us over 20th Century Fox has released a brand new image from the forthcoming sequel featuring a snarling Jackman suited up as Logan...
