The Departed Scribe To Adapt John Le Carre's New Novel A Delicate Truth
25 April 2013 12:03 PM, PDT | cinemablend.com | See recent Cinema Blend news »
Next month will see the release of British author John le Carré's latest spy novel, A Delicate Truth, and already this book is set to join the ranks of le Carré's adapted works, like The Spy Who Came In From the Cold, The Constant Gardener, and Tinker Tailor Soldier Spy. Deadline reports The Ink Factory, the production company behind the recently-wrapped adaptation of le Carré's A Most Wanted Man, has acquired the rights to A Delicate Truth, and is close to finding a screenwriter to adapt it. William Monahan is reportedly close to signing on to the job. Considering he's best known for adapting the Hong Kong thriller Infernal Affairs into an Academy Award-winning screenplay for the Martin Scorsese-helmed crime-drama The Departed, Monahan seems an excellent pick for this particular project. A Delicate Truth begins in 2008, and follows a counter-terrorist operation, codenamed Wildlife, that aims to capture »

Exclusive: Janet Tobias Talks No Place on Earth

Janet Tobias talks No Place on Earth, in theaters April 5th
Filmmaker Janet Tobias makes her feature directorial debut with the powerful documentary No Place on Earth, after a successful career as a TV documentary producer for shows such as Dateline NBC, 60 Minutes, and Frontline. The film's inception came from Chris Nicola's National Geographic article that chronicled the incredible journey of the Stermer family, who survived in a Ukranian cave for 18 months (the longest recorded sustained underground survival) while hiding from the Nazis in World War II.
I recently had the chance to speak with Janet Tobias over the phone about No Place on Earth, which debuts in theaters April 5. Here's what she had to say.
I read that you initially had some trepidation about taking on this story, when you first heard about it. Can you talk about discovering Chris' article and what lead you to decide to make this? »

A pharmacologist on Side Effects
25 March 2013 5:05 PM, PDT | The Guardian - Film News | See recent The Guardian - Film News news »
Side Effects is a cautionary tale for the British healthcare system, says pharmacologist Donald Singer
I went to this expecting a story a bit like The Constant Gardener, but translated from Africa to New York. But this absorbing thriller, set within overlapping worlds of big pharmaceutical companies, psychiatry, Us private medicine and financial fraud, is much more complex than that.
At the centre of the film is Dr Jonathan Banks – a psychiatrist, played by Jude Law. He has moved from Britain to America because he believes doctors there have a more "positive" view of medicine and of mental health. As a British pharmacologist working in the NHS, I disagree. Anyway, the film implies that Banks's move to the Us was really financially motivated.
Side Effects is clear about the risks surrounding the financial interests that underpin the Us healthcare system. Emily (Rooney Mara), a young woman being treated by Banks for depression, »

What are the Best Political Action Thrillers?
18 March 2013 2:04 PM, PDT | Rope of Silicon | See recent Rope Of Silicon news »
Last night I was trying to come up with some ideas on something I could do in conjunction with the release of Olympus Has Fallen and one idea was to come up with a list of the best political action thrillers. The problem is that word "action" really limits the number of films... at least when it came to the titles my fiancee could come up with last night. The word "action", in this case, almost seems to remove all meaning from the word "political". Sure, Olympus Has Fallen is based on a terrorist takeover at the White House, but just how political will it really be? White House Down and G.I. Joe: Retaliation are working with similar themes as trailers have already shown us, are they too political films? Certainly there is a nugget of politics in there, it's something that gives the narrative added weight over simply being about guns, »

Rachel Weisz likes independent movies
17 March 2013 6:40 PM, PDT | RealBollywood.com | See recent RealBollywood news »
Los Angeles, March 18: Actress Rachel Weisz says sometimes it is good to do independent movies rather than commercial ones.
The 43-year-old, who has done movies like "The Mummy", "The Constant Gardener" and "The Deep Blue Sea", feels some movies should be done for soul creative purposes, reports contactmusic.com.
"Some of the material I'm attracted to is not commercial. Which means it's really f**king interesting, you know? It's off-centre. It doesn't fit a genre. I'm not trying to sound like I'm unaware. I understand that it's a business to some extent," Weisz said.

Oz: Slightly Below Some Expectations, But Still One of the Best March Debuts Ever
11 March 2013 4:49 PM, PDT | Alt Film Guide | See recent Alt Film Guide news »
Oz domestic box office slightly below expectations -- even so, the fantasy adventure boasted one of the biggest March openings in film history Starring James Franco as the eventual The Wizard of Oz, the Sam Raimi-directed $200 million+-budgeted (some sources claim $215 million) Oz the Great and Powerful raked in $79.1 million at 3,912 Us and Canada theaters this past weekend as per weekend actuals found on the web site Box Office Mojo. That's by far the most impressive debut weekend this year to date, in addition to being one of the biggest March openings in history (see more details / comparisons below); even so, Oz fell short of the $80 million-$85 million figure some had been predicting after looking at Friday and late Thursday estimates of $24.1m. The film's distributor, Walt Disney Studios, claimed it expected at most $74 million -- clearly a much too low prediction which meant that Oz was bound to "overperform. »

Oz: Debut Weekend to Beat the Cumulative Gross of All But One 2013 Release
8 March 2013 10:31 PM, PST | Alt Film Guide | See recent Alt Film Guide news »
Early, rough box-office estimates: Oz to have best debut of 2013 by a wide margin Oz the Great and Powerful is about to have the strongest (by far) opening weekend of the year at the Us / Canada box office. Directed by Spider-Man's Sam Raimi, and starring James Franco as Oz, Oz scored an estimated $2 million at Thursday evening and midnight screenings and the film is expected to bring in about $23 million-25 million today (apparently that figure includes the Thursday screenings). Now, a key reason for the Oz "record" box office feat is the current year's highly disappointing attendance numbers to date. (Please see below comparisons to a couple of other successful fantasy films of recent years.) Raimi's 3D fantasy is expected to collect circa $80 million from 3,912 venues by Sunday evening. If Oz does succeed in reaching that mark, after only three days out it'll be well ahead of the total take of every 2013 domestic release, »

David Edelstein on His Acting Crush Rachel Weisz
3 March 2013 6:10 PM, PST | Vulture | See recent Vulture news »
It helps to begin with what Rachel Weisz isn’t, which is the kind of movie star who talks about being “normal” and craving privacy while making sure to vacuum up every gaze in the room. She is heart-stoppingly beautiful—those eyes are so wide apart they seem to be in different hemispheres, so that you can’t quite take in her face with one look—and prodigiously un-actressy. Paul Rudd spent months with her onstage and then onscreen in Neil Labute’s The Shape of Things and marvels at her “complete lack of irony,” which he adds is “the most refreshing character in a person”—an interesting statement from a guy who works with so many smartasses. Ralph Fiennes, who starred with her in three films, including The Constant Gardener, tells me how moved he was by her Blanche DuBois onstage in London in 2009, by “the fragility, the vulnerability »

360 DVD Review
17 January 2013 6:00 AM, PST | HeyUGuys.co.uk | See recent HeyUGuys news »
Director Fernando Meirelles made one of the strongest directorial debuts of the last twenty years with his film City of God and followed this up with the equally well received The Constant Gardener in 2005. He then went on to direct the film Blindness which despite having a neat central idea was less than the sum of its parts. Hopes were high for his next film as he was collaborating with screenwriter Peter Morgan (Frost/Nixon) on a truly international stage.
360 is loosely based on a play by Arthur Schnitzler written in 1897 called La Ronde. The original play is a study of the morals and ideology of people of various classes and the role that sex plays in their lives. The point of this is that Schnitzler is saying that sex crosses all boundaries and classes. The play has been loosely adapted into film thirteen times over the last sixty years and 360 is the latest version. »

Top 100 Most Anticipated Films of 2013: #28. Anton Corbijn’s A Most Wanted Man
14 January 2013 12:15 PM, PST | ioncinema | See recent ioncinema news »
Director: Anton Corbijn
Writer(s): Andrew Bovell
Producer(s): Andrea Calderwood, Simon Cornwell, Stephen Cornwell, Gail Egan, Solveig Fina, Malte Grunert, Helge Sasse
U.S. Distributor: Rights Available
Cast: Rachel McAdams, Robin Wright, Philip Seymour Hoffman, Willem Dafoe, Daniel Brühl, Martin Wuttke, Nina Hoss, Kostja Ullmann, Rainer Bock
If I’m a betting man I’m thinking John Le Carré novels play out extremely well for the big screen (last two items were The Constant Gardener, Tinker Tailor Soldier Spy) and that former video helmer Anton Corbijn has transitioned so well into feature film with the two films in his fiche: unconventional biopic Control (2007) and a Euro art-house thriller that we don’t get to see enough of with, The American (2010). A Most Wanted Man has an incredible cast in Rachel McAdams, Robin Wright, Philip Seymour Hoffman, Willem Dafoe, not to mention the German actors also on board. »

DVD Review: '360'
14 January 2013 2:05 AM, PST | CineVue | See recent CineVue news »
★★☆☆☆ Brazilian director Fernando Meirelles first came to the attention of the wider cinemagoing public with 2002's City of God, a wildly successful tale of gangsters in the slums of Rio. His follow-up adaptation of John le Carré's The Constant Gardener (2005) was similarly well received but 2008's Blindness was considered somewhat disappointing. Many a cinephile had pinned their hopes on his new film recapturing the magic. Meirelles' 360 (2011) is a panoptic view of the consequences of desire featuring several unrelated characters whose lives, inevitably, end up intertwining. Recapture the magic, however, it sadly does not.

Ben Affleck, Kathryn Bigelow Biggest Oscar Snubs?
10 January 2013 10:05 AM, PST | PEOPLE.com | See recent PEOPLE.com news »
Today might be the only day any of us will ever feel sorry for Ben Affleck. The nominations for the 85th annual Academy Awards were announced Thursday morning and the Argo director shockingly didn't make the cut. But here's who did - and who should have: Best DirectorThe shock: Two huge snubs! Not only did Argo's Affleck get dissed, even though he had one of the best-reviewed films of the year, but so did Zero Dark Thirty's Kathryn Bigelow, a previous Best Director winner for The Hurt Locker - which I'd argue isn't nearly the accomplishment that Zero Dark Thirty is. »
