Christopher Nolan in talks to direct James Bond 24, report says
17 May 2013 1:20 AM, PDT | Digital Spy | See recent Digital Spy - Movie News news »
Christopher Nolan has reportedly entered "informal talks" to direct the next instalment in the James Bond series.
The Dark Knight Rises director is said to be discussing the possibility of overseeing the Skyfall follow-up with 007 franchise producers Barbara Broccoli and Michael G. Wilson.
Nolan is about to make sci-fi blockbuster Interstellar with Matthew McConaughey, Jessica Chastain, Anne Hathaway and Michael Caine, meaning he would not be free to direct Bond 24 immediately.
"It does no harm for Broccoli and Wilson to talk with Nolan, even if nothing happens this time round," a source told the Daily Mail.
Nolan is thought to be a fan of Bond star Daniel Craig and has previously voiced his admiration for the 007 movies.
Skyfall director Sam Mendes was asked to return to make the latest Bond film, but turned the job down to focus on his theatre work on Charlie and the Chocolate Factory and King Lear. »

Is Disney's New Tonto Offensive?
12 May 2013 10:39 AM, PDT | Huffington Post | See recent Huffington Post news »
Flagstaff, Ariz. — The Hollywood image of Tonto once had the Lone Ranger's sidekick wearing a thin headband and lots of dangling fringes. The latest Disney version has a shirtless Johnny Depp adorned with feathers, a face painted white with black stripes, and a stuffed crow on his head.
The character in the upcoming "The Lone Ranger" still speaks broken English and chants prayers. But Depp has said he's less subservient, honors the proud American Indian warrior and displays a dry sense of humor seen throughout Indian Country. The production even hired a Comanche adviser, making it decidedly a Comanche story, and received the blessing of other tribes through ceremonies during filming.
Yet Disney has caught flak for what some say is the perpetuation of stereotypes through a character that lacks any real cultural traits. Moviegoers will have to wait until July 3 to see how all this plays out on screen. »

Doctor Who, Neil Gaiman, and where Nightmare In Silver fits

A singular joy of fandom, and a geeky one at that, is the administration. Not the tangible Post-It notes-and-whiteboards kind of admin, but the mental filing, cross-referencing and labelling involved when you follow and love someone’s work.
Imagine Joss Whedon brings out, say, a Shakespeare adaptation starring a clutch of recurring collaborators. Where do you file that? Under A for anomaly, W for Whedonverse, or – forgoing alphabetisation all together - cross-referenced between Stuff I Should Have Paid More Attention To In High School and Stuff I Paid All My Attention To In High School? Do you sort by theme, quality, popularity, or critical reception? Where, in the history of your relationship with this person’s work, »

Oscars 2003: If We Picked the Winners (Best Picture 2003)
10 May 2013 5:56 AM, PDT | Obsessed with Film | See recent Obsessed with Film news »
When I look at the slate of Best Picture nominees from 2003, it appears to have been a true high-water mark for the industries’ “epic” films. While we still suffer from the aftershocks of Hollywood’s obsession with “the epicness of epicdom” (two made up words, I know, but that’s just how self-consciously epic these films are), in 2003, the tone still felt new and fresh. These epic films were not only rewarded with successful box office receipts, but high critical praise as well (thus the Oscar nominations).
In the years following, while the box office receipts have remained consistent (or even increased), the grades from critics and enthusiasts have slowly fallen away as the genre has become increasingly stale. In 2003 though, we had mostly good films from the genre in our rear-view mirror, so the potential for the genre was promising and people were ready to bite on anything that »

As The Great Gatsby opens, what makes a good book adaptation, anyway? | Alan Yuhas
7 May 2013 7:30 AM, PDT | The Guardian - Film News | See recent The Guardian - Film News news »
Baz Luhrmann is the latest to try translating a celebrated book to the big screen, but there's danger in being too faithful to the text
Gatsby fever won't break until Baz Luhrmann's new adaptation opens this week, but this fifth film version of F Scott Fitzgerald's classic novel raises an interesting question: what makes a good adaptation, anyway? Why does Stanley Kubrick's The Shining merit documentaries in its own right, and Stephen King's The Shining end up forgotten among the made-for-tv mini-series? What should we hope for – or fear – from Luhrmann's take?
Adapting a novel or short story into film is a lot translation – turning words on a page into the language of movies: angles, actors and images. Filmmakers, like translators, are stuck in the middle between the original and the audience, and have to balance three elements: story, style and ambition.

Still Hoping Sam Mendes Will Direct Bond 24? You Should Probably Stop Now
29 April 2013 8:00 PM, PDT | Beyond Hollywood | See recent Beyond Hollywood news »
Despite what the producers of the Bond franchise would like you to believe, Sam Mendes, who helmed the billion-dollar making “Skyfall” starring Daniel Craig as the suave British spy, has no desire to return to the character. Ever ever ever, from the sounds of it. Dude is really adamant, in case you’re not reading between the lines. Talking to The Guardian (via Yahoo) while promoting his upcoming play “Charlie and the Chocolate Factory”, Mendes declares that he has absolutely zero interesting in directing another Bond movie. Not just that, but the idea of returning for a second go-round made him “physically ill”. Ouch. Says Mendes: Was I willing to go back into a room with a writer and start work on the same set of characters and the same scenarios as I’ve been working on for the last three years? The idea made me physically ill. Wow. “Physically ill. »

Thn’s Top 5 Seemingly Unfilmable Stories Brought To The Big Screen
29 April 2013 12:55 AM, PDT | The Hollywood News | See recent The Hollywood News news »
A book filled with inner monologue, a Bengal tiger and a shipwrecked boy somehow managed to be turned into a film; an Academy Award-winning one at that. Ang Lee has himself called Life Of Pi the most difficult film he’s ever made. Life Of Pi was once considered unfilmable due to the importance of the tiger and its human qualities. However, thanks to the required technology being enabled a few years ago, the tiger and story could finally be brought to the big screen. Check out Thn’s list of seemingly unfilmable films which were made into movies.
The Lord Of The Rings Trilogy (2001, 2002, 2003)
A key to bringing those supposedly unfilmable movies to life is modern CGI. Where would the Lord Of The Rings trilogy be without it? Children would have played hobbits, Nazgûl-birds made to fly by hanging them on strings, and a doll would have portrayed Gollum, »
