Cannes: Voltage Taps Gabriele Muccino To Helm Black List ‘Fathers And Daughters’
16 May 2013 8:52 AM, PDT | Deadline New York | See recent Deadline New York news »
Exclusive: Voltage Productions has set Gabriele Muccino to direct Fathers And Daughters, a Black List script by Brad Desch. Voltage is out to cast on the film and is looking to sell it here at Cannes. Muccino helmed the Will Smith films The Pursuit Of Happyness and Seven Pounds after coming to Hollywood off the success of L’Ultimo Bacio. The plot: a Pulitzer-winning writer grapples with being a widower and father after a mental breakdown. Much later, his grown daughter struggles to forge connections of her own. The film will be produced by Voltage’s Craig J. Flores and Nicolas Chartier and Busted Shark Productions’ Sherryl Clark. Clark, whose credits include Cloverfield and Morning Glory, developed the screenplay with Desch and it was one of the first projects under her new shingle Busted Shark. Voltage bought it after the script made the Black List. Desch separately set his script Shotgun Lovesongs at Fox Searchlight, »

Apes Rise In New 'After Earth' Clip
15 May 2013 4:45 PM, PDT | GetTheBigPicture.net | See recent Get The Big Picture news »
After Will Smith's hiatus from his yearly blockbusters, the question has always been whether or not he would be able to hit the ground running again. You could say the same thing, to a much greater extent, about writer-director M. Night Shyamalan. Though, Seven Pounds was nowhere near as abominable as The Last Airbender was. This film represents a potential mainstream redemption for both of them, and so far it's looking pretty good for both of them. We have a new clip from the film which makes it look interesting. »

The Biggest Potential Box Office Bombs of Summer 2013
3 May 2013 12:12 PM, PDT | MovieWeb | See recent MovieWeb news »
It happens every year. We spent months on this site covering a movie that looks good, smells good, and has the potential to be the next big classic, only to see it belly flop when its placed in front of a paying audience. Sometimes the movie is bad, as was the case with Green Lantern. Sometimes, the marketing doesn't work in favor of a small masterpiece, like Scott Pilgrim Vs. the World. And sometimes, a movie just gets buried by the bigger movies around it in a crowded marketplace. Then, on that very odd occasion, there's the rare misfortune of having Taylor Kitsch as your leading man.
Last year we watched movies like Rock of Ages, Total Recall, Dark Shadows, Battleship and John Carter whiff it at the plate. 2013 won't be any different. Except that we're entering into May with a completely Kitsch free line-up.

Supporting Characters Review
29 April 2013 3:57 AM, PDT | HeyUGuys.co.uk | See recent HeyUGuys news »
Daniel Schechter’s Supporting Characters is one of six selections from the Tribeca Film Festival available via pay-per-view with Virgin Media, as well as select digital platforms including iTunes, PlayStation, and Xbox, and although it stars Alex Karpovksy alongside a cameoing Lena Dunham , that’s not all Supporting Characters shares with Girls. Just like the HBO/Sky Atlantic hit series, the film details the lives and loves of 20something New Yorkers and if you’re one of the viewers who can’t stand Hannah, Marnie and co, you’re unlikely to be especially fond of Supporting Characters’ leads. Self-absorbed protagonists aside, Supporting Characters also mimics Girls’ strongest assets – its humour and authenticity.
Nick (Karpovsky) and Daryl (Tarik Lowe) are best friends and film editors hired to try and save a patchy rom-com from the clutches of its manic, absentee director (Kevin Corrigan). But the seemingly simple job puts a strain »

Posterized: François Ozon
19 April 2013 8:05 AM, PDT | FilmExperience | See recent FilmExperience news »
Glenn here. Given my penchant for poster goodness I figured I'd pick up Nathaniel's regular "posterized" feature. A fun series that can time to time shine a curious light on the way films are marketed and how certain actors or directors can find themselves in a so-called "marketing rut" where it's the same thing over and over. Think of a Will Smith movie and don't you just picture his smug mug staring out at you in mid-range closeup? Even that one about selling his organs to Rosario Dawson (or whatever Seven Pounds was about - I've sure as hell forgotten!)
This week I've chosen François Ozon - and he's having a helluva week. Not only is his latest (un/lucky number thirteen) film, In the House [Dans le maison], getting a release in America, but his next picture, Jeune et Jolie, was just chosen to compete for the Palme d'Or in Cannes. Well done, »

Will Smith lines up a number of projects, including Focus, American Can, and The Accountant
19 April 2013 6:33 AM, PDT | JoBlo.com | See recent JoBlo news »
Will Smith, he made a name for himself originally with his PG-rated rap and as the Fresh Prince of Bel-Air, has come a long way in his career. However, that journey has mostly been in the form of big-budget blockbusters, which isn't a bad thing, but does prove difficult to maintain throughout the years. Smith has done well in that respect, but the problem is that he rarely elevates beyond that. His ventures into drama, including Seven Pounds and The Pursuit Of Happyness, were fairly well »

'Game Of Thrones' Director Brian Kirk To Helm Sci-Fi 'Passengers' Starring Keanu Reeves, Penned By Jon Spaihts
18 April 2013 12:49 PM, PDT | The Playlist | See recent The Playlist news »
Long before he docked onto the project that would become "Prometheus," screenwriter Jon Spaihts made waves with his 2007 Black List script "Passengers." It was all thanks to Keanu Reeves, who had read Spaihts' script "Shadow 19," and then hired him to pen what became "Passengers." He loved the material so much he agreed to star and produce, and back in 2010, Gabriele Muccino ("The Pursuit of Happyness," "Seven Pounds") signed on to direct...and nothing happened... Well, not entirely. "Passengers" got Spaihts the attention of Ridley Scott and the rest is history, but now his breakthrough script is coming back to life. "Game Of Thrones" and "Boardwalk Empire" helmer Brian Kirk has signed on to direct the movie, which will still star Reeves. The story focuses on a passenger on a spaceship making a centuries-long journey to another planet, who is woken up, accidentally and irreversibly, by a computer glitch, 90 years too early. »

Tom Cruise Opens Up About Suri
11 April 2013 12:17 PM, PDT | Huffington Post | See recent Huffington Post news »
Tom Cruise has been one of the biggest movie stars in the world for almost three decades, and though the 50-year-old actor has found mega-success, he's not concerned with his children following in his footsteps.
E! News caught up with Cruise at the premiere of his new film "Oblivion" in Hollywood on Wednesday night, and asked the actor if he'd let his youngest daughter Suri, 6, get into acting one day.
"All my kids [can]," he told the website, referring to the children he adopted with then-wife Nicole Kidman -- Connor, 18, and Isabella, 20. "What I do is try to find out what they're interested in and support them in that. There's no pressure. I'm lucky. I love what I do. I think with them, it's just find out what you want to do and support it."
While Cruise didn't say if Suri has ever expressed an interest in acting, Connor has already tried his hand at acting, »

Rosario Dawson

While researching her role as a hypnotherapist for Danny Boyle's Trance, the actor finally confronted her past
When she's on her own and suitably relaxed, you can hypnotise Rosario Dawson. Eighteen months ago she visited a woman who laid her down, wrapped a blanket up to her neck and started talking. Dawson's thoughts wandered, her temperature dropped and she drifted in and out of sleep: the sweet spot of a trance-like state.
The hypnotherapist looked for tells, taking notes of every spasm and twitch. She talked and watched and picked apart what Dawson thought she wanted to explore from what was really on her mind.
"She was reading where I was, subconsciously, from my feet," says Dawson, who went through this bout of therapeutic dozing in preparation for her role in the new psychological thriller Trance . "I was reading in this book, What Every Body is Saying [a body-language manual written by ex-fbi agent Joe Navarro] that your »

Will Smith Is On Back On The Blockbuster Train, 'Colossus' Moving Forward
18 March 2013 7:00 AM, PDT | GetTheBigPicture.net | See recent Get The Big Picture news »
Remember back when Will Smith was a constant staple at the theaters? Starting in 1995 with Bad Boys, Smith had a major film release every year, all up until Seven Pounds in 2008. The frosty reception for that must have shaken his confidence or something, because he stayed away from theaters until 2012 with Men in Black III. It looks like he's back on a role, though, with After Earth this year and, now, his next film Colossus is in the works. »

Michael Ealy Is Android Cop In Abrams/Wyman Pilot
4 March 2013 1:02 PM, PST | FamousMonsters of Filmland | See recent Famous Monsters of Filmland news »
J.J. Abrams has two pilots coming this fall, just to make us all feel like underachievers, one of which is in an untitled pilot coming to Fox, that he’s working on with Fringe showrunner J.H. Wyman. The pilot takes place in a near future when cops are paired with android partners, with Brad Anderson directing.
The main android in the show has been found with Michael Ealy, who has deserved a leading role for a while now, with roles in The Good Wife, Californication, Flashforward, and Seven Pounds. His role is described thusly: “Dorian, a mechanical officer who understands humanity more than his human partner.”
It’ll be interesting to find out who his human partner is. Stay tuned. »

Best of Fest: Sundance 2013′s Top 10 New Faces
13 February 2013 10:40 AM, PST | ioncinema | See recent ioncinema news »
It was a longer process than we had anticipated, but post Sundance, Jordan M. Smith, Nicholas Bell and I weighed in on the best of the fest (tomorrow we launch our Top 20 New Voices) and after defining what constitutes a “new face”, we ranked our top performances from relatively new folk, pushed into the forefront of their films and within the sphere of independent cinema. Here are our Top 1o New Faces for Sundance 2013.
#10. Gina Piersanti (It Felt Like Love)
NYC-based indie film casting folk will take notice if Eliza Hittman’s gem of a debut film breaks out beyond the film fest circuit. Not unlike the faces we found in Larry Clark’s Kids, newbie teenage actress Gina Piersanti will be the latest poster-child of innocence lost. With only a handful of short film experiences, the teenage actress gives low-key, self-contained bulldozing performance — every step, and misstep her naive »

10 Comedy Actors Who Sucked In Serious Movies
21 January 2013 12:45 PM, PST | Obsessed with Film | See recent Obsessed with Film news »
The trouble with comedy actors is they go around being acclaimed the whole time. “Oh, Monique, thank you for revealing your inner depth”, the critics say, zipping up their flies. Those funny people, with their talent and their popularity poking you right in the face…they can run the whole gamut of human emotion, and while you’re crying your way out of the cinema, they’re laughing all the way to the bank. Damn them! A curse on their Globes!
There are few comedy actors who haven’t wondered or been persuaded to find out if they could be the next Meryl Streep or Daniel Day-Lewis. And among those comics who have made the leap, the hit rate is high, and thankfully so. But the changeover doesn’t always work, and when it fails, it fails big time. Allow me to illustrate, in a barely particular order:

Trailer for Danny Boyle's Trance
11 January 2013 1:38 AM, PST | www.themoviebit.com | See recent TheMovieBit news »
It's been a while since we saw anything like this from danny Boyle. While Slumdog Millionaire and 127 hours were fantastic, I missed the dark, messed up thrillers the director made his name with. Well, it seems Boyle is back in that frame of mind with Trance, a heist movie that blurs the lines between what's real and what's not. As always when it comes to Boyle, this looks impeccably shot, and there is a neat little story there, brimming with potential. via Pathe Synopsis: Academy Award® winning director Danny Boyle returns to the big screen with this psychological thriller about a fine art auctioneer, mixed up with a criminal gang, who join forces with a hypnotherapist to recover a lost painting.

First Trailer for Danny Boyle’s Trance starring James McAvoy
10 January 2013 3:02 AM, PST | HeyUGuys.co.uk | See recent HeyUGuys news »
Here’s the very first trailer for Danny Boyle’s new movie Trance. It stars James McAvoy, Vincent Cassell and Rosario Dawson in what looks like a rather intriguing movie. Ever wondered what would happen if you steal a painting, hide it, get hit on the head and then forget where you put it? Then add in a traditional movie bad-guy in the form of Vincent Cassell who will do pretty much anything to find it. Hire a hypnotist and see if she can crack into your brain to find out where the painting is hidden. No, me neither! But that is where we’re being taken in Boyles latest piece.
It looks like a typically wonderful Danny Boyle movie and I’m looking forward to seeing it. Really nice to see these original movies being made although I’m sure it wont take long for someone to quote me »
