Hunger Games Writer to Take on the Sci-Fi Film Departure
17 May 2013 5:00 AM, PDT | GeekTyrant | See recent GeekTyrant news »
The Hunger Games screenwriter Billy Ray will direct an original sci-fi romance film that he wrote called Departure, which is based on the true story of a never-explained avionic phenomenon. Ray is a solid screenwriter who has also written films such as Breach, Shattered Glass, and the upcoming Tom Hanks film Captain Phillips. This sounds like it will make for a very interesting film.
The story was inspired by a book called "Ghosts of the Air” written by Martin Caidin, which documents real accounts from pilots who have experienced flight anomalies. The movie will follow "a brilliant Miami-based Faa investigator who is obsessed with learning how a 727 suddenly vanished into thin air and then reappeared in the exact same spot ten minutes later. As mysterious occurrences continue to occur with increasing frequency in the skies over Miami, the investigation becomes personal when the employee’s beloved wife is on one of the planes affected. »

Hunger Games Writer Billy Ray Explores Disappearing Airplane Phenomena In Departure
15 May 2013 3:36 PM, PDT | cinemablend.com | See recent Cinema Blend news »
In all forms of modern fiction, there is a fascination with airplanes being involved in mysterious circumstances, from Oceanic Flight 815 in Lost to Stephen King.s aurora-crossing plan in The Langoliers - and there.s a Bermuda.s Triangle full of other relevant examples. Somewhat surprisingly, writer/director Billy Ray will take on this subject matter for his third feature, directing Good Universe.s sci-fi romance Departure, based on an original screenplay he wrote. Ray.s previous films were 2007.s politically charged Breach and 2003.s Shattered Glass, a tense drama focused on the Stephen Glass article fabrication, which make a sci-fi romance kind of an unpredictable choice. According to the press release, Ray.s script was inspired by Martin Caidin.s 1994 book Ghosts of the Air: True Stories of Aerial Hauntings. A brilliant Faa investigator in Miami obsesses over a 727 that inexplicably disappears, only to reappear in the same spot »

8 Actors To Replace The Avengers
9 May 2013 6:39 AM, PDT | Obsessed with Film | See recent Obsessed with Film news »
After The Avengers hit big at the box office this time last year, it seemed like the future for the franchise was more secure than just about any other project in Hollywood. However, it has recently come to light that a few of the key components aren’t necessary satisfied with their lot, meaning that the nuts and bolts that hold this massive undertaking together could begin to come loose. Firstly, we had Robert Downey Jr. announcing that he had to negotiate his new Iron Man contract, while Marvel executives said that they would be happy to proceed without him if need be.
Then just this week, it was announced that Chris Hemsworth and Scarlett Johansson weren’t too thrilled with the minimal paydays (reportedly as low as $500,000 for a film that grossed over $1.5bn), and as such both will be holding out for bigger deals to keep them in place for The Avengers 2. »

'Captain Phillips' Trailer: Tom Hanks Finds His Ship Hijacked by Pirates
8 May 2013 2:50 PM, PDT | Movies.com | See recent Movies.com news »
A few years ago reports started cropping up about Somali pirates attacking transport ships off the coast of Africa. It became a bit of a joke in the media because, well, no one takes pirates seriously in the 21st century. The hijacking of the Maersk Alabama, an unarmed cargo ship destined for Kenya, changed that. It was the first time an American ship had been seized by pirates in nearly 200 years. The media and the U.S. Navy certainly took Somali pirates seriously after that. Written by Billy Ray (Breach) and directed by Paul Greengrass (United 93), Captain Phillips is the story of that ship and what happened aboard it over the course of four very long days in 2009. Tom Hanks stars as the titular captain, an ordinary man thrust into an extraordinary situation-- the type that...

Watch the First Trailer for Paul Greengrass' 'Captain Phillips' Starring Tom Hanks
8 May 2013 9:53 AM, PDT | Rope of Silicon | See recent Rope Of Silicon news »
Sony has released the first trailer for Captain Phillips from director Paul Greengrass and starring Tom Hanks as the title character. The film is based on the true story of Captain Richard Phillips, the leader of the cargo ship Maersk Alabama who gave himself up as a hostage to Somali pirates to keep his crew from having to leave the ship with them. Billy Ray (Breach) wrote the screenplay adapted from the book "A Captain's Duty: Somali Pirates, Navy Seals, and Dangerous Days at Sea" by Richard Phillips and Stephen Tatty and along with Hanks, the film co-stars Catherine Keener, John Magaro, Max Martini, David Warshofsky, Chris Mulkey, Corey Johnson and Yul Vazquez. This is the first film from Greengrass since Green Zone in 2010 and, of course, before that he gave us The Bourne Supremacy and Ultimatum along with United 93. Captain Phillips is set for an October 11 release »

‘The Amazing Spider-Man 2′ Finds It’s Green Goblin/Norman Osborne!
27 February 2013 11:22 AM, PST | The Hollywood News | See recent The Hollywood News news »
While the character cast a foreboding shadow in Marc Webb’s comic-book reboot, The Amazing Spider-man, we saw nothing of the character of Norman Osborne in last summers blockbuster. Although the currently shooting sequel does feature his son, Harry, to be played by Chronicle’s excellent Dane DeHaan, we doubted the inclusion of the Oscorp villain (aka The Green Goblin) with Jamie Foxx and Paul Giamatti on unhinged duties as Electro and Rhino respectively.
Now we can confirm The Amazing Spider-man 2 will indeed feature Norman Osborne in some capacity, as the ever-intense Chris Cooper has been cast in the role. Cooper’s made a string of impressive performances in the likes of American Beauty, Breach, The Bourne Identity and Lone Star, and was most recently seen in Disney’s The Muppets.
We suspect he’ll appear briefly, setting up his monstrous transformation in the third film. Good casting? We think so! »

Interview with composer Rob Simonsen on the mechanics of musical storytelling, the impact of technology on film scoring, and the beneficial ubiquity of pop music.
4 February 2013 3:56 PM, PST | SoundOnSight | See recent SoundOnSight news »
Rob Simonsen has been writing music for the screen for nearly a decade now. His work can be heard in commercials for Apple and Nike as well as the TV series Dollhouse. Simonsen’s close relationship with composer Mychael Danna has afforded him the opportunity to provide additional music for many scores ranging from Little Miss Sunshine to Life of Pi. He has also co-composed music for (500) Days of Summer and Seeking a Friend for the End of the World with Danna and fellow composer Jonathan Sadoff, respectively.
After opening his own studio last year, he was approached to compose music for The Way, Way Back and The Spectacular Now, both of which debuted earlier this year at the Sundance Film Festival to enthusiastic critical acclaim. We were fortunate enough to have him talk to us about his friendship with Danna, his affinity for pop music, and what a whirlwind »
