Interview: John Francis Daley of ‘Bones’ Opens the CineYouth Festival in Chicago
10 May 2013 8:23 AM, PDT | HollywoodChicago.com | See recent HollywoodChicago.com news »
Chicago – The annual CineYouth Festival in Chicago opened on May 9th with a very special guest – John Francis Daley – who is an actor (“Bones,” “Freaks and Geeks”) screenwriter (“Horrible Bosses”) and director. The CineYouth Festival is May 9th-11th and is presented by the Chicago International Film Festival.
John Francis Daley was born in Wheeling, Illinois, but grew up backstage while his father, R.F. Daley, performed on Broadway. His first break came at nine years old when he joined the touring company in the stage version of “Tommy.” In 1999, he played the role of Sam Weir in the formidable cast of “Freaks and Geeks,” which included future stars James Franco, Seth Rogen and Jason Segal. After doing stints on “The Geena Davis Show” (2000-01) and “Kitchen Confidential” (2005-06), he landed the role of Dr. Lance Sweets on the long-running “Bones.”

Watch: 'Incredible Burt Wonderstone' Writers Talk Satire, the 'Vacation' Sequel and 'Freaks and Geeks'
14 March 2013 4:44 PM, PDT | Movies.com | See recent Movies.com news »
It’s always interesting to track the evolution of various Hollywood talents from their earliest days into the whatever they become, but Freaks and Geeks has become a singular starting point for a remarkably high percentage of actors, actresses and filmmakers who now hold the keys to the kingdom, so to speak. Judd Apatow, Seth Rogen, Paul Feig, Jason Segel, James Franco, Linda Cardellini, Jake Kasdan and now John Francis Daley have emerged from the show’s ratings-deficient genius to become stars and creators in their own right. Daley spent much of the past decade growing up in front of the camera – quite literally – on shows such as Boston Public, Kitchen Confidential and Bones. But he was simultaneously developing skills behind the camera, first writing...

Derek Cianfrance Won't Direct 'Chef' With Bradley Cooper & Omar Sy
7 February 2013 10:33 AM, PST | The Playlist | See recent The Playlist news »
A few months ago, word surfaced that freshly minted Oscar nominee Bradley Cooper was hoping to reteam with his director on the upcoming "The Place Beyond The Pines" (our favorite film of last year's Tiff), Derek Cianfrance, on a project known as "Chef." In development for years, the script by "Eastern Promises" writer Steven Knight, follows a drug-addled chef who moves his restaurant from Paris to London in order to capture a three-star Michelin rating and once upon a time, it was set to team the unlikely combination of director David Fincher and Keanu Reeves. But the project was seemingly revived by Cooper (who had his first leading role as the star of short-lived Fox sitcom "Kitchen Confidential"), who hoped to bring Cianfrance along for the ride with "The Intouchables" star Omar Sy according to a recent radio interview. But Premiere asked Cianfrance about the project, and it looks like he's not doing it, »

Chef Cast Joined by Bradley Cooper and Omar Sy
30 January 2013 7:23 PM, PST | Filmofilia | See recent Filmofilia news »
Bradley Cooper and Omar Sy (The Intouchables) are in talks to join the cast of Chef for The Weinstein Company and director Derek Cianfrance (Blue Valentine).
The comedy centers on a disgraced chef (Cooper) who loses his prestigious restaurant in Paris. He decides to bring his old crew back together in an attempt to create the world’s greatest restaurant in London.
No details were given for Omar Sy’s character, although this will be the French actor’s first English-language film. Here’s what Bradley Cooper had to say about the project on the radio station Rtl:
“We’ve been talking about this project. I want to do it. It’s a beautiful story. And I love cooking.”
However, the project may have to be put on hold, due to the actor’s schedule.
“I’m going to make another film in March and after that I think I »

Bradley Cooper and Omar Sy in Talks to Star in Derek Cianfrance’s Comedy Chef
30 January 2013 11:14 AM, PST | Collider.com | See recent Collider.com news »
Quite the “crowd-pleasing” team-up is in the works for director Derek Cianfrance’s (Blue Valentine) new film Chef. Two actors from two incredibly popular 2012 films (Silver Linings Playbook and The Intouchables) are looking to topline the project, as Variety reports that Bradley Cooper and Omar Sy are in talks to lead the culinary comedy. Cooper will play “a disgraced chef who, after losing his Michelin-rated restaurant in Paris, decides to bring his crew back together in an attempt to create the best restaurant ever in London.” Cooper has experience in the world of the culinary arts, as he previously starred on the short-lived Fox sitcom Kitchen Confidential. Production on the Weinstein Company project isn’t expected to begin for some time, and neither Cooper nor Sy have officially signed on. It sounds like an interesting change of pace for Cianfrance, though, coming off the rather dark Blue Valentine and the »

Top 7 Contenders I Hope Become First-Time Oscar Nominees
7 January 2013 2:38 PM, PST | The Scorecard Review | See recent Scorecard Review news »
We start the Top 7. You finish the Top 10.
Oscar nominations are right around the corner (January 10), so I thought I’d use the opportunity to highlight some people I really hope get nominated. It would be easy to make this an overall list of things I want to happen – basically Les Misérables and Django Unchained for everything (it was a very merry Christmas, indeed) – but I wanted to narrow it down a bit more. While there are a lot of Oscar veterans in the running for nominations, I’ll be focusing on some folks who are vying for their first.
Now, to keep it somewhat manageable I’ll only be including people who have some modicum of hope, however slim at this late stage. Take Quvenzhané Wallis from Beasts of the Southern Wild. She still has a real shot, so she might be on here (spoiler alert: she is not »
