Their Best Role: Hugh Jackman in 'The Fountain'

28 December 2009 1:35 PM, PST | Cinematical | See recent Cinematical news »

When you mention Hugh Jackman to any discerning cinephile, or drop his name in a game of Dream Casting, people will sneer. "That man cannot act." At best, they'll say "Well, he's really good as Wolverine!" before complimenting his physique.

While he certainy is good as Wolverine, and there's absolutely nothing wrong with his rippling definition, he can act. It seems he can't pick a script to save his life, but he can act.

Let's go back, back, way back to 2006 when he had a year where he steered clear of romantic comedies, empty action flicks, and X-Men spin-offs. I don't know how the stars aligned for him, or how the good scripts made their way to the top, but he had two stellar films: The Prestige and The Fountain. He was very good in the former, though in the end The Prestige just demanded a lot of grimness and »

Second Inception Trailer Turns the World on Its Ear

28 December 2009 11:00 AM, PST | WeAreMovieGeeks.com | See recent WeAreMovieGeeks.com news »

It was released to theaters last Friday in front of Sherlock Holmes (those of us lucky enough to catch early screening of Holmes got to see the trailer earlier in the week), but Warner Brothers and Apple have finally put the second trailer to Christopher Nolan’s next, Inception, online. How is it?  In a word, Ohmyfriggingod!  This movie looks so epic and amazing.  The CG appears flawless, and, even though the second trailer doesn’t give us much more in the way of story than what we got with the first trailer, you just know Nolan is going to put story first.

Anyone who remembers 2006 will remember that even the side projects Nolan has been doing away from the Batman franchise are on par with the best stories put to film.  It’s no surprise that Nolan has four films (The Dark Knight, Memento, The Prestige, and Batman Begins »

The Notable Films of 2010: Part Five

23 December 2009 10:10 AM, PST | Dark Horizons | See recent Dark Horizons news »

Hippie Hippie Shake

Opens: 2010

Cast: Cillian Murphy, Sienna Miller, Max Minghella, Emma Booth, Lee Ingleby

Director: Beeban Kidron

Summary: Follows the love story of Oz editor Richard Neville and Louise Ferrier. Neville and his cohorts launch the London edition of Oz amidst the 1960s counterculture and are subsequently put on trial for distributing a sexually explicit issue.

Analysis: One of the most troubled productions in Working Title's history, 'Hippie' began development back in 1998 but failed to get beyond script stage both in 1999 and in 2002 when "Elizabeth" helmer Shekhar Kapur was attached to direct. Filming finally got underway late 2007 with director Beeban Kidron in charge and shooting seemed to proceed without issue aside from feminist author Germaine Greer being vehemently unhappy about being depicted on film.

Actually the film scored quite a bit of free press for a skinny dipping scene where full-frontal shots of actress Sienna Miller shooting the sequence »

The Decade’s Film: 2005-2009

21 December 2009 7:33 AM, PST | t5m.com | See recent t5m.com news »

It had been a successful decade for the comic book movie, with that trend continuing into the latter half of the decade. Just as looked like the public demand for irradiated heroes looked to be diminishing, with lacklustre showings from the likes of Spider-Man 3 and Fantastic Four, out came Iron Man. Coupled with a brilliant script and an excellent performance from Robert Downey Jr as the titular zillionaire industrialist/playboy/freedom fighter/all-round genius, the end result was something truly special. Downey’s career was also revitalised, earning him a role in Tropic Thunder (which would earn him an Oscar nomination). Louis Leterrier’s The Incredible Hulk took a similar approach, this time giving Edward Norton of Fight Club fame a shot at getting under the skin of the green goliath.  They set a tough act to follow, but followed they were by one Christopher Nolan.

The new rebel film trailers

17 December 2009 1:45 PM, PST | The Guardian - Film News | See recent The Guardian - Film News news »

Movie trailers used to be pretty formulaic – just show the best bits – but, in the age of the internet viral, they're now works of art in themselves

If you're looking for art or auteurship at the cinema, you're likely to be waiting for the main feature, not concentrating on the trailers for what were quaintly known as "coming attractions". As long as they have existed, trailers have been the tool of film marketing departments aiming solely to secure the maximum number of bums on seats. Experimentation with the form has not been a big part of the story. There have been brief flourishes of artistic advancement, such as the move towards fast-edit montages led by Kubrick in the early 1960s, and periodical oddities, like Hitchcock's personally hosted guided tour of the Bates Motel for Psycho, and the mock advertisement for the Ghostbusters' services, which led to the advertised phone number »

New poster for Leonardo DiCaprio’s ‘Inception’ arrives

16 December 2009 5:00 AM, PST | ReelLoop.com | See recent Reel Loop news »

Presenting the poster for Christopher Nolan’s upcoming cerebral thriller Inception. The poster was the prize on the film’s official site after you complete a maze.

It stars Leonardo DiCaprio, Ellen Page (Juno), Ken Watanabe (The Last Samurai), Marion Cotillard (Nine), Joseph Gordon Levitt ((500) Days of Summer), Tom Hardy (RocknRolla), Cillian Murphy (Batman Begins, Red Eye), Tom Berenger and Michael Caine.

Nolan’s new film is viewed as a “break” before he starts work on a third entry in the highly popular (and profitable) Batman series, which has seen no official movement. Ziltch.

This is nothing new for the director, who rejected outcries from rabid Bat-fans wanting a quick sequel to Batman Begins and instead chose to helm The Prestige. As fans quickly learned, the break between films didn’t hinder the series as The Dark Knight became the second biggest film in history and landed an Academy Award »

Is the Inception poster too similar to The Dark Knight's?

16 December 2009 4:39 AM, PST | Boxwish.com | See recent BoxWish news »

It seems to be a time for poster debates. Last week we unveiled the first teaser one-sheet for Sex and the City 2 which got stick for being too futuristic and photo-shopped (see Related Content, right) and now the poster for Inception is causing an online ruckus. The first film from acclaimed director Christopher Nolan since last year’s record-breaking behemoth, The Dark Knight, Inception has been shrouded in mystery with very little about it known. However, we do know that it stars Leonardo DiCaprio, reunites Nolan with a number of past faves such as Batman Begins alums Ken Watanabe, Cillian Murphy and Sir Michael Caine (marking their fourth collaboration after the Batman pics and The Prestige) and has a poster that looks suspiciously like The Dark Knight’s. »

James McTeigue Interview, Ninja Assassin

26 November 2009 8:00 PM, PST | MoviesOnline.ca | See recent MoviesOnline news »

We sat down recently with director James McTeigue to talk about his new film, “Ninja Assassin,” based on a screenplay by Matthew Sand and J. Michael Straczynski, and starring Korean pop star Rain, Naomie Harris, Ben Miles, Rick Yune and legendary martial arts performer Sho Kosugi.

As a boy in Sydney, McTeigue was exposed to a variety of world cinema and television and was heavily influenced by ninja television shows like "Shintaro" and "Phantom Agents," and by films such as "Shinobi No Mono." He graduated from Sydney University, where he studied art and film.

McTeigue made his directorial debut helming the iconoclastic screen adaptation of the graphic novel "V for Vendetta." He came to the project through his relationship with the Wachowski brothers, for whom he served as the assistant director on all three "Matrix" films. His other previous film credits as an assistant director include "Speed Racer" and "Dark City. »

Hugh Jackman Signs On For Real Steel

24 November 2009 5:20 AM, PST | FilmShaft.com | See recent FilmShaft.com news »

Aussie actor Hugh Jackman needs to be more careful in choosing his projects. For every The Prestige, there’s a Deception…and who remembers Swordfish? In which category his latest green-lit picture – Real Steel - lies, remains to be seen.

It seems Dreamworks honcho Steven Spielberg loves robots at the moment (we know he loves sci-fi). And his studio is set again to use the genre for a new spectacular described by Variety as “Rocky-esque”.

Based upon a Richard Matheson short story, with a screenplay by Dan Gilroy, Jackman plays a “Robot Boxing promoter” who discovers a robot and his son. So far, so intriguing. Dreamworks describe the film as a “rousing sports movie” (set in space).

It’s been a super-busy time for Steven Spielberg. As studio head he’s had to refinance Dreamworks on top of directing Tintin. It seems when in doubt, choose robots to bolster the coffers. »
