Jennifer Lawrence to produce new film
6 June 2013 6:42 AM, PDT | The Guardian - Film News | See recent The Guardian - Film News news »
The actor is to do both in director Susanne Bier's film, written by Abi Morgan and based on Claire Bidwell Smith's grief memoir
Jennifer Lawrence is set to produce and star in the Susanne Bier drama Rules of Inheritance, based on Claire Bidwell Smith's acclaimed memoir.
Based on a screenplay by The Iron Lady's prolific Abi Morgan, Bier's film will follow an only child whose charismatic parents are diagnosed with cancer when she is still a young woman. The book is billed as a coming-of-age story which details Smith's emergence into the adult world as she struggles to overcome the impending loss of her family.
Lawrence, whose status in Hollywood is sky high thanks to her Oscar-winning turn in David O Russell's offbeat comedy drama Silver Linings Playbook, as well as the blockbuster success of dystopian tale The Hunger Games, will also take her debut producer's credit on the project. »

Muse – The 2nd Law Tour Review (Live At Eastlands)
3 June 2013 4:54 AM, PDT | Obsessed with Film | See recent Obsessed with Film news »
As always the mighty Muse sure know how to wow the crowd and blow the roof off the place, and performing at Manchester City’s Etihad Stadium on the 1st of June 2013 goes, it was no exception!
It was the last of the 4 UK stadium (Coventry’s Ricoh Arena and Arsenal’s Emirates Stadium twice being the other UK stadium venues) gigs to be played live on the current tour, The 2nd Law tour, at Manchester City’s Etihad Stadium and, apart from a few drunken people trying to ruin it for everyone else that just wanted to have a good time, it was a very good music event all round. Bastille took to the stage first, playing most of their songs from their debut album “Bad Blood”, including the title track “Bad Blood”, latest single “Laura Palmer” and their smash hit single “Pompeii” which they ended the set with. »

Review: ‘Love is All You Need’ is Sweet, But Not Sickly So
16 May 2013 10:00 AM, PDT | FilmSchoolRejects.com | See recent FilmSchoolRejects news »
Probably the first thing you need to know about Love is All You Need is that it doesn’t include any Beatles songs on its soundtrack. It’s original title is Den skaldede frisør, which seems to roughly translate to “The Bald Hairdresser,” and Love is All You Need is the arbitrary title it got stuck with in English-speaking markets. It is the kind of movie that unashamedly includes multiple uses of the song ‘That’s Amore’ though, so you can probably guess what sort of demographic it’s aiming to hit. Love is All You Need, in addition to being the new film from co-writer/director Susanne Bier (In a Better World, Things We Lost in the Fire), is a relationship drama about a guy (Sebastien Jessen) and a girl (Molly Blixt Egelind) getting married at a rustic house situated in a lemon grove on the coast of Italy.

Love Is All You Need – review
22 April 2013 5:05 AM, PDT | The Guardian - Film News | See recent The Guardian - Film News news »
Susanne Bier's romantic drama lacks subtlety, spark and chemistry
The 53-year-old Susanne Bier, daughter of Jewish refugees from Nazi Germany, is a deeply serious Danish film-maker whose contrived, often melodramatic plots frequently involve troubled families, transactions with developing countries in Africa and Asia, cancer, widows and widowers. One of them, Brothers, about the destruction of a marriage as a result of the husband's captivity in Afghanistan, was remade in America by Jim Sheridan, where Bier worked on the lachrymose Things We Lost in the Fire, and In a Better World won an Oscar as best foreign language film.
Her good-looking Love is All You Need is lighter in tone and kicks off with a couple in their late 40s meeting cute when she crashes into his car at Copenhagen airport. Characteristically, however, she's Ida (Trine Dyrholm), whose weaselly husband has been cheating on her while she's being treated for »

Susanne Bier: 'You can't be ashamed of big emotions if you make movies'
13 April 2013 10:53 PM, PDT | The Guardian - Film News | See recent The Guardian - Film News news »
The film-maker on being unashamedly romantic, her tomboy upbringing and why she's proud to be Danish
A member of the Danish Dogme group, Susanne Bier received her first Oscar nomination for her 2006 film, After the Wedding. She went on to make Things We Lost in the Fire with Halle Berry and Benicio del Toro. But it was In a Better World that established Bier as an international star. The film won both a Golden Globe and an Oscar for best foreign language film in 2011.
Isn't it daring to make a comedy, Love is All You Need, where the lead character is in recovery from breast cancer?
Yes, this movie is about a woman who consistently chooses to see things in a light and cheerful manner. There is an undercurrent of fear and sadness but, because she is not prepared to let it come to the surface, the movie won't let it happen. »

The Call Review: Berry a strong heroine but the film never rises above B-movie mediocrity
15 March 2013 3:13 AM, PDT | Upcoming-Movies.com | See recent Upcoming-Movies.com news »
Brad Anderson may not be a “name” director but his clever thrillers Session 9, set in a mental hospital, The Machinist, featuring Christian Bale as a deranged insomniac and Vanishing on 7th Street, about people who disappear after coming in contact with creepy shadows, reflect his talents as a suspense storyteller. Anderson replaces original director Joel Schumacher on The Call (originally called The Hive), about a dedicated operator at Los Angeles’ 911 emergency control center named Jordan Taylor (Halle Berry), who leaves the call center in order to help a young woman (Abigail Spencer) kidnapped by a serial killer (Michael Eklund). The Call, written by Richard D’Ovidio, Nicole D’Ovidio and Jon Bokenkamp, is a mixed genre bag meaning that it stands tall thanks to Berry’s performance as a strong, believable heroine. Yet, at the same time, The Call steadily sinks under the weight of a redundant female victim »

Halle Berry Talks The Call, Her Favorite Thrillers, X-men: Days Of Future Past, and More
13 March 2013 9:15 AM, PDT | Collider.com | See recent Collider.com news »
Brad Anderson’s The Call, a particularly fine little thriller in the doldrums of March, sports a welcome return for thriller-maven Halle Berry. Sure Berry is a so-called ‘serious actor’; but in between her “Things We Lost In The Fire” and “Monster’s Ball”, she has a penchant for mixing it up with decidedly and proudly ‘B’ pictures. The Rich Man’s Wife, Gothika, Swordfish, Perfect Stranger, Dark Tide… In The Call, the newest and best of this bunch, Berry stars as Jordan Turner – a 911 operator, whose mishandling of a call leaves a young girl dead and Berry/Jordan beyond shaken. Cut to six-months later and Jordan finds herself once again on the other line attempting to help a young girl (Abigail Breslin) out of the clutches of a madman. It’s a difficult role – in that for a majority of the film, Berry is seated behind a computer, on »
