Eddie Redmayne to Play Stephen Hawking in Theory Of Everything
13 June 2013 1:45 PM, PDT | GeekTyrant | See recent GeekTyrant news »
It looks like Les Miserables co-star Eddie Redmayne is going to play physicist Stephen Hawking in a film called Theory of Everything.
According to Deadline, the film will focus "on the relationship between Hawking and his wife." The film is set up at Working Title, and it's being directed by James Marsh, who worked on the Oscar winning documentary Man of Wire.
Redmayne is also up for a lead role in a film called Far From the Madding Crowd, in which he would star alongside Carey Mulligan. It sounds like he can only choose one or the other, but according to the report, the actor is more interested in playing Hawking. Why wouldn't he be? This would be a great role for any actor, and Redmayne is a talented one. I think this kind of role will take his career to a whole new level.
The report suggests that this »

Eddie Redmayne set to play Stephen Hawking in biopic

Les Misérables star courted to fill lead role in Theory of Everything, with Oscar-winning Man on Wire director set to take charge
Les Misérables star Eddie Redmayne is tipped to play the physicist Stephen Hawking in a new biopic titled Theory of Everything, reports Deadline.
James Marsh, the British Oscar-winning director of documentary Man on Wire who made waves in the dramatic arena with last year's taut Troubles thriller Shadow Dancer, looks set to take charge. Redmayne is being courted by production company Working Title after his standout turn in Les Misérables, which followed impressive outings in My Week with Marilyn in 2011 and the TV war drama Birdsong last year.
The best-known biopic of the scientist to date is the BBC's 2004 TV film Hawking, which centred on his time at Cambridge in the early 60s and starred a Bafta-nominated Benedict Cumberbatch. Deadline compares Theory of Everything to films such as »

Eddie Redmayne To Play Stephen Hawking In Working Title’s ‘Theory Of Everything’
12 June 2013 6:20 PM, PDT | Deadline New York | See recent Deadline New York news »
Exclusive: After crushing it on Les Miserables, Eddie Redmayne is being fought over for his next lead role. I heard that he’s going to land on Theory Of Everything, and that he’ll play physicist Stephen Hawking in the film that Working Title is fast assembling with director James Marsh, who shared the Best Documentary Oscar for Man On Wire. The film focus is on the relationship between Hawking and his wife and it marks a re-team of the actor and Working Title partners Tim Bevan and Eric Fellner from Les Miserables. They are actively discussing the female lead, with an early fall start being eyed. Redmayne has also been courted to star with Carey Mulligan and Matthias Schoenaerts in the Thomas Vinterberg-directed Far From The Madding Crowd, but I believe that his priority is the Hawking project written by Anthony McCarten. It is a potential tour de force role as Hawking, »

Roman Polanski’s ‘Venus In Fur’ Gets U.S. Distribution
5 June 2013 9:23 AM, PDT | Variety - Film News | See recent Variety - Film News news »
Sundance Selects has acquired U.S. rights to Roman Polanski’s “Venus in Fur” following its world premiere at Cannes.
“Venus,” adapted by Polanski and David Ives from Ives’ play, stars Emmanuelle Seigner and Mathieu Amalric and was produced by Robert Benmussa and Alain Sarde. The film follows a writer-director and a pushy, foul-mouthed actress.
The film reunites Amalric and Seigner who starred in Julian Schnabel’s “The Diving Bell and the Butterfly.”
Scott Foundas gave the film an upbeat review for Variety: “As with his earlier “Carnage” and “Death and the Maiden,” “Venus in Fur” finds Roman Polanski transferring a New York stage hit to the screen with maximum fidelity and facility, and a minimum of fuss. Primarily a vehicle for Mrs. Polanski, Emmanuelle Seigner, who engulfs the screen with a juicy comic performance that does full justice to a demanding role, this playful and literate rumination on the »

Sundance Selects Gets U.S. Rights to Roman Polanski's 'Venus in Fur'
5 June 2013 9:23 AM, PDT | The Wrap | See recent The Wrap news »
Sundance Selects has nabbed U.S. rights to Roman Polanski's "Venus in Fur," the indie label said Wednesday. The adaptation of the Broadway play of the same name stars the "Chinatown" director's wife Emmanuelle Seigner as an actress auditioning for a demanding and kinky playwright played by "The Diving Bell and the Butterfly"s' Mathieu Amalric. It premiered at this year's Cannes Film Festival to mixed reviews with some critics faulting the picture for being overly stagey. In a measured appraisal, the Guardian's Peter Bradshaw complained the film was hammy, but lauded Polanski's skill behind »

Blue is the Hottest Controversy
30 May 2013 5:13 PM, PDT | FilmExperience | See recent FilmExperience news »
Julien K. here, your special correspondent in Paris, reporting on the recent controversy surrounding the latest Palme d’or winner, Blue is the Warmest Color.
As those of you who are familiar with the French film industry may know, director Abdellatif Kechiche’s work has been consistently lavished with praise for the last decade. In 2005, his sophomore effort L’esquive –a raw, direct exploration of teenage sexual politics in the banlieues (the French suburban hoods) by way of eighteenth century playwright Marivaux- unexpectedly trumped critical favorite Kings and Queen and populist heavyweights A Very Long Engagement and Oscar nominee The Chorus at the César Awards, winning Best Picture, Best Director and Best Screenplay. The same thing happened in 2008, when his powerful immigrant family drama The Secret of the Grain defeated a pack of prestige Oscar contenders (La Vie en Rose, Persepolis, The Diving Bell and the Butterfly) in the same top categories. »

10 May 2013 2:51 PM, PDT | AreYouScreening.com | See recent AreYouScreening news »
There’s a real winner on the horizon. Unfortunately, it’s a ways off. Still, we’ve got the news about The Extraordinary Adventures of Adele Blanc-Sec coming to Blu-Ray and DVD, and it’s worth taking a look. Based on a wildly popular French comic, the story gives us something akin to the young, female Indiana Jones, and just off the trailer (nevermind the critical acclaim the film has already received), it looks like a fantastic family film.
Take a look a the trailer, and get all the details below.
Synopsis

Her journey would take her to distant lands to face many dangers beneath the sands. She will go to any lengths to achieve her aims, including sailing to Egypt to tackle mummies of all shapes and sizes. »

'In the House' review: French teen becomes a writer by observing what happens
2 May 2013 5:58 AM, PDT | Pop2it | See recent Pop2it news »
The teacher is a veteran of the French school system, not burnt out but resigned to the mediocrity of each new crop of high school sophomores. That first assignment -- "Write about what you did last weekend" -- confirms what he tells his gallery manager wife: "This is the worst class I've had in my life."
But one 16-year-old boy, Claude, takes it seriously. He describes a classmate he selected, a somewhat dim kid whose life he'd love to have, whose house he longed to gain entry to. And he did, taking in details -- the sports-crazed dad beaten down by a job that includes petty humiliations from his boss and Chinese clients, and "the singular scent of a middle-class woman," his classmate's fetching blond mother.
He's ingratiating himself into their lives. He's observing, passing judgment, telling their secrets. And he knows how to make the essay a cliffhanger.

Eureka Entertainment announced today that they have picked up UK theatrical and DVD rights for Geofrrey Enthoven's award-winning Belgian tragi-comic road movie, Come As You Are (aka Hasta La Vista). The film tells the story of three handicapped Flemish lads (one blind, one wheelchair-bound, one completely paralysed) who take a road trip to Spain, on the pretence of a wine tour, in order to get laid. Recent years have seen numerous European films focusing on disabled protagonists overcoming their disabilities score big at the international box office, with Rust and Bone, The Intouchables and The Diving Bell and the Butterfly all proving notable crossover hits. Couple that with the perennially popular "horny guys on a road trip" scenario and we could be looking at the paralympic...

What makes a great screenplay?

From Casablanca to The Killing – the elements of a great script are essentially the same. John Yorke – who is responsible for some of the most popular recent British TV dramas – reveals how and why the best screenwriting works

What an archetypal story does is introduce you to a central character – the protagonist – and invite you to identify with them; effectively they become your avatar in the drama. So you have a central character, you empathise with them, and something then happens to them, and that something is the genesis of the story.

A cut above most horror remakes
15 March 2013 5:06 PM, PDT | The Guardian - Film News | See recent The Guardian - Film News news »
Elijah Wood stars in Franck Khalfoun's 80s slasher remake, which uses first-person perspective throughout
The Texas Chain Saw Massacre, Halloween, Friday The 13th, A Nightmare On Elm Street, Piranha, The Hills Have Eyes, I Spit On Your Grave: that's a list of some of the classic horror movies of the 1970s and 1980s. But it's also a list of some of the worst horror movies of the noughties and 2010s, when you consider their remakes.
They say that no one sets out to produce a bad movie, but watch any low-energy, scare-free, missed-opportunity of a horror remake and you'll doubt the wisdom in that notion. Time and time again fans have been burned by remakes that fail to live up to even the most modest of expectations. The question this begs is: why? Franck Khalfoun, a director who has beaten the odds with his surprisingly excellent remake of sleazy 1980 slasher movie Maniac, »

Why Dustin Hoffman's Directoral Debut Film Almost Didn't Happen
25 January 2013 10:09 AM, PST | Huffington Post | See recent Huffington Post news »
In "Quartet," a group of retired classical musicians in England try to raise funds for their stately but financially troubled nursing home by putting on a concert -- and are often distracted from the task by their own rowdiness. It's a familiar enough plot arc, but "Quartet" subverts the classic rom-com script via its unusual first-time director (Dustin Hoffman), and its silver-headed cast of veterans (Maggie Smith, Tom Courtenay, Billy Connolly and Pauline Collins) sifted in with real-life retired musicians.
Although the movie opens in theaters today, it nearly didn't get the chance to be made. The Huffington Post rang Oscar-winning screenwriter and playwright Ronald Harwood -- who adapted "Quartet" from his 1999 play, starring only four people -- at his home in England. He gave us the lowdown on the challenges of pitching a movie about seniors to studios, why marketing people don't really know anything, and Dustin Hoffman's appeal. »

The Sessions – review
19 January 2013 4:08 PM, PST | The Guardian - Film News | See recent The Guardian - Film News news »
Virginity – losing it, trying to lose it, trying to hang on to it – has been a constant subject of drama, literature and the movies, and handled variously as comedy, tragedy and complicated embarrassment. The Sessions is the remarkable true story of Mark O'Brien (John Hawkes), a poet and journalist living in Berkeley, California, who'd graduated from the local university some years earlier and decides at the age of 38 that he wants to experience sex for the first time in his life.
The problem is that since an attack of polio at the age of six he's been confined to an iron lung except for four hours a day when he can be wheeled around, stretched out on a gurney. He's a good-looking, gifted, amusing man, less impaired than the French author with locked-in syndrome who wrote The Diving Bell and the Butterfly, but pretty immobile.
Fortunately Mark, a practising Catholic, »
