'L.A. Confidential' Sequel TV Series Being Shopped By James Ellroy
25 April 2013 7:34 PM, PDT | Indiewire Television | See recent Indiewire Television news »
The world that James Ellroy conjured with "L.A. Confidential," adapted in the crackling 1987 noir, is one that captured the imagination and had filmmakers flocking to his work, and in particular the "L.A. Quartet." Brian De Palma tackled "The Black Dahlia" with rather disastrous results, while Joe Carnahan is still hoping to make "White Jazz" at some point. Meanwhile, last year, "I Am Love" helmer Luca Guadagnino signed up to bring "The Big Nowhere" to the big screen. So what's next? How about a TV series. Indeed, Ellory and New Regency are currently shopping a sequel series to "L.A. Confidential," but they aren't just looking for a pilot. According to Deadline, Ellroy -- who came up the concept on spec -- is likely for a straight series commitment. And this isn't the first time a series has been attempted.

Review: Brian De Palma Gets Out A Mixed-Bag Of Old Tricks For Passion
21 February 2013 6:00 AM, PST | Twitch | See recent Twitch news »
After the experimental political polemic Redacted and the gun-for-hire mess The Black Dahlia, Brian De Palma has returned to what should be his comfort zone; a violent, erotic thriller which he actually wrote himself. In fact, every scene of Passion seems to beg for a collective "return to form" proclamation. It's got identical twins, split-screen, sumptuous ballet, labyrinthine dream sequences and obsession to spare, but ultimately, it still feels like an over-the-hill rocker playing all his hits from forty years ago. On one hand, everything lacks the energy that originally made it so powerful, but, on the other hand, the songs are still better than anything else written in the last decade. That is to say, the Passion is great fun, and occasionally kinda brilliant,...

5 Most Disturbing Scenes In Quentin Tarantino Movies
7 February 2013 6:04 AM, PST | Obsessed with Film | See recent Obsessed with Film news »
In recent times, it has become in vogue to trash Quentin Tarantino. Some criticize his directing style, claiming it is too derivative of the audacious works of prior directors like Martin Scorsese, Sergio Leone and the movies Brian De Palma made before filth like The Black Dahlia. Others argue that Tarantino’s films are perhaps too stylized, falling victim to the sin of style over substance.
Those people, in a word, are wrong. Quentin Tarantino has taken the auteur aesthetic that worked for the French New Wave directors Jean-Luc Godard and Francois Truffaut to astounding new heights by writing his own screenplays, directing his own films, and – occasionally – making awkward cameos in them.
Since his debut in the early 90′s when he penned the screenplay for Tony Scott’s True Romance and filmed his own directorial debut Reservoir Dogs, Tarantino has repeatedly made films full of iconic imagery that nearly »

Black Dahlia case solved? Cadaver dog finds possible death scene
4 February 2013 1:00 PM, PST | Pop2it | See recent Pop2it news »
It's been 66 years since Elizabeth Short, also known as "The Black Dahlia," was killed in Los Angeles, Cal. However, her murder remains unsolved. One man thinks he knows who did it, though. Steve Hodel is a former Los Angeles Police Department detective, and author of the book, "Black Dahlia Avenger." He also believes he is the son of the killer.
His father, George Hodel, was a doctor, and the prime suspect in the killing. The doctor first came under scrutiny after he was charged with molesting his 14-year-old daughter. He was later acquitted after a witness recanted their testimony. When being investigated in Short's death, he was put under surveillance by the police. However, before charges could be filed, the elder Hodel abandoned his family and fled the country, relocating to Asia. He eventually died in 1999.
Now, Steve believes he might finally be closing in on the evidence to solve »

James Franco to bring American Tabloid to big screen
23 January 2013 5:13 AM, PST | The Guardian - Film News | See recent The Guardian - Film News news »
Adaptation of James Ellroy novel will be next directorial project, Franco tells MTV at Sundance festival. He also plans to star
James Franco's offbeat directing debut Interior. Leather Bar may have received a lukewarm response from critics, but nothing seems to dampen the spirits of the ever-ebullient multi-hyphenate, who has revealed plans to adapt James Ellroy's 1995 novel American Tabloid, about a trio of government agents whose lives become entangled with the assassination of John F Kennedy.
Speaking to MTV at Sundance earlier this week, Franco said he would direct the film and take an acting role. The movie is in the early stages of development.
"We're going to do American Tabloid by James Ellroy," Franco told MTV. "It's not all put together yet. It's still early. You're getting the scoop."
Named Time Magazine's best fiction book of 1995, Ellroy's novel chronicles the lives of three rogue American law enforcement »

James Franco to Direct and Star in Adaptation of 'American Tabloid'
22 January 2013 4:52 PM, PST | firstshowing.net | See recent FirstShowing.net news »
The works of acclaimed writer James Ellroy have been mined for the big screen before in films like L.A. Confidential (which has a prequel currently brewing), The Black Dahlia, and more. Now it looks as if another project is coming down the pike, as James Franco revealed to MTV that he is in talks to direct and star in an adaptation of Ellroy's novel American Tabloid, a period piece that follows the stories of three police officers that all converge during the assassination of President John F. Kennedy. Bruce Willis and Tom Hanks had tried to get this project off the ground but to no avail, so we'll see if Franco has better luck. American Tabloid isn't quite as well known as some of Ellroy's other works, so here's the synopsis: We are behind, and below, the scenes of JFK's presidential election, the Bay of Pigs, the assassination--in the »
