Total Recall: Sandra Bullock's Best Movies

18 June 2009 1:30 AM, PDT | From Rotten Tomatoes | See recent Rotten Tomatoes news

Her rise to fame in the mid '90s was followed by a box office drought so profound that it was hard not to wonder if she'd ever find her way out of it - but the 21st century has been pretty good to Sandra Bullock so far, granting her successes both commercial (Miss Congeniality, Two Weeks Notice) and critical (Crash). To celebrate her resurgence, as well as the arrival of her latest romantic comedy (The Proposal, co-starring Ryan Reynolds) in theaters this weekend, we decided to devote this week's Total Recall to a look back at Ms. Bullock's 10 best-reviewed...

The next James Bond film is to be penned by a triumvirate of writers that now includes Peter Morgan, Variety is reporting.

They wrote the scripts for the previous 007 movies, Quantum of Solace and Casino Royale, with Due South creator and Crash writer/director Paul Haggis.

Bond 23 Has Its Screenwriters

13 June 2009 1:28 PM, PDT | From ScreenRant.com | See recent Screen Rant news

The next installment in the long-running James Bond franchise (for now referred to as simply Bond 23), has had its screenwriters announced. They are the returning Neil Purvis and Robert Wade (Casino Royale, Quantum of Solace), with a new addition of Peter Morgan (Frost/Nixon, The Queen, The Last King of Scotland). Daniel Craig will of course be reprising his role as 007, and the film will be produced by Michael G. Wilson and Barbara Broccoli.

 

Purvis and Wade are no strangers to the Bond franchise, having already helped to co-write the last four Bond movies together (on top of Daniel Craig’s first two Bond films, they also wrote The World Is Not Enough and Die Another Day). So in light of that we can rest easy that the franchise is in experienced hands. But Morgan is the new addition, with his recent Oscar attention (he was nominated for both

Peter Morgan, the genius behind "The Queen" and "Frost/Nixon" has joined the 007 team! Morgan is set to co-write the 23rd Bond film with Neal Purvis and Robert Wade, the writers behind the last four Bond movies.

Can I just tell you that I'm so excited for this news? I regard Morgan as a brilliant scriptwriter and one can just imagine what twists and turns he'll put our favorite spy in.

‘Crash’ Director to Remake French Thriller

3 June 2009 7:00 AM, PDT | From FilmSchoolRejects.com | See recent FilmSchoolRejects news

People get really excited about Paul Haggis. He's a major force in writing, producing and directing killer projects. However, the only times that he's taken on all three duties for a film was for his completely overrated Crash (that was better back when it was Grand Canyon) and for his completely overlooked In the Valley of Elah. When he's writing - like Casino Royale, Million Dollar Baby, et al - he seems to do a bit better,although I'm sure that Academy Award for Best Picture for Crash means I'm wrong or something. Considering his track record, I'm not too thrilled that he's going to be remaking the French thriller Pour Elle (which translates to "Pour the Fashion Magazine"). According to Variety, the writer/director/producer will be making Next Three Days - the story of a man and woman pushed to the limits of their love when placed into considerably extraordinary circumstances - for Lionsgate.
