Of all the heartthrobs who come and go in teen movies, Josh Hutcherson stands out. That sounds like a weird thing for a grown man to say about someone tween girls hang on their walls, but you've got to tip your hat to Hutcherson for taking on a mixture of projects that keep him safely ensconced with his younger fanbase (The Hunger Games, Journey to the Center of the Earth) while also branching out to more challenging material (The Kids Are All Right, Paradise Lost). And now it looks like he's taking on another unique project that's not quite aimed at his core fanbase: Ape. The Wrap broke the news, referring to the project as a "dark psychological thriller" directed by Miguel Sapochnick (Repo Men) and written by Jon Johnstone. The plot details are...

What is Casting Couch? It’s a tireless wanderer that scours the Internet in search for news of actors getting hired to appear in movies. Today it’s found more, including new roles for Rhys Ifans and Monica Bellucci. With his latest film, Frances Ha, just getting ready to expand beyond New York and La this weekend, director Noah Baumbach now turns his attention to his next project, a story about an older couple striking up a friendship with a younger couple called While We’re Young. Ben Stiller and Naomi Watts have been on board to play the older couple, and Girls star Adam Driver is official for the younger male, but the search for the female half of the younger couple has been an ongoing process. It’s an ongoing process that’s likely to soon come to an end though, because The Wrap is reporting that Amanda Seyfried has emerged as the potential candidate »

I just spent 108 minutes catching up with Jesse and Celine. We've met them twice Before... and I spent the first 2/3rds of the movie grinning like a damn fool I was so happy to be marinating in their always passionate detour-filled conversations. It's too early to say how much I loved the movie (though I did) but it got me to thinking what an achievement this series is and got me to thinking of true movie magic and how much of it we've had lately. So while so many of my fellow critics enjoy their mad rush through Auteursville at Cannes tonight I'm remembering the time I fell in love with this movie...
...and that one
...and that one
...and that one.
Here's my ten favorite movies of the 'Teens (2010-2019) ... so far of course
the bonafide masterpieces -it'd be tough to imagine them not being on the decade best »

Good morning! Thanks to Heather Hogan for Brewing while I was out last week.
I love Gabrielle Union so hard. She's played a lesbian in Running with Scissors and I'm waiting patiently for her to do it again. In the meantime, she is talking about her crushes on anchorwomen:
Soledad O’Brien! But I’ve been obsessed with her for years. The “Black in America” series, they take up a lot of space in my DVR, and I refuse to erase them. If you come over my house you’re gonna watch some part of “Black in America.” I will make sure the conversation is steered toward something that gives me a reason to watch “Black in America.” She has a rare combination of being painfully genuine and honest and delivering information in a way that you believe her »

Julianne Moore gets inside Jonathan Rhys Meyers' head in 6-Souls.
Julianne Moore (The Kids Are All Right), Jonathan Rhys Meyers (Velvet Goldmine) and Frances Conroy (TV’s American Horror Story) star in the 2012 psychological thriller film 6 Souls.
After the death of her husband, forensic psychiatrist Dr. Cara Harding’s (Mooore) faith in God has been shaken, but not her belief in science. In an attempt to open her up to accepting unexplainable psychiatric theories, her father introduces her to Adam (Meyers), a patient with multiple personalities, who takes on some of the physical characteristics of his other personalities. Cara quickly discovers that Adam’s personalities are murder victims, and the more she finds out about him and his past, the closer she and her loved ones come to becoming murder victims themselves.

Bill Johnson (left) and Jim Seibel (right) are officially launching Lotus Entertainment as a financing, production and international sales company at Cannes.
The execs formerly co-chaired Inferno Entertainment, which dissolved its Inferno International and Inferno Distribution earlier this year.
Los Angeles-based Lotus has hired a pair of Inferno Entertainment execs — former CAA agent Ara Keshishian and former Paramount and Captivate exec DJ Gugenheim, both as exec VP of production and development.
“Our goal is to find stories that we are truly passionate about and work with some of the world’s best producers, filmmakers and distributors to successfully bring those stories to a large global audience,” Johnson and Seibel said.
Inferno Intl. and Inferno Distribution filed for bankruptcy last August, citing a need to sort out legal disputes including a large judgment against the companies over the 2005 romantic comedy “Just Friends.”

His films may be freaky and funky and may not appeal to the average Joe Moviegoer, but stars line up to work with David Cronenberg. Simply, with unique stories usually married with inventive visuals, the filmmaker makes the kinds of movies few get the chance to do in Hollywood and so it comes as no surprise that his upcoming "Maps To The Stars" is lining up talent left and right. The latest to come aboard on is Mia Wasikowska ("Stoker," "Lawless," "The Kids Are All Right") with Olivia Williams (Miss Cross!) and Evan Bird (who him?) also signing up. They join Robert Pattinson, Julianne Moore, John Cusack and Sarah Gadon in the Bruce Wagner-penned movie that is both a skewering Hollywood and celebrity culture and a ghost story. While plot details have pretty much been kept secret, THR does reveal that "Bird will play a troubled, drug-addicted child star, »

Coming off the worldwide success of Real Steel, director Shawn Levy had his pick of projects. And while it seemed like a few other movies might have gotten to the starting line first, after meeting and collaborating with Vince Vaughn on The Watch (which Levy produced), the actor pitched him on the idea of The Internship, and they started filming soon after. During a break in production on set last year, I was able to interview Levy with a movie reporter from Yahoo. We talked about getting Google to sign off, how he edits what he shoots that day, the soundtrack, filming for both a PG-13 or an R rating, having actors that are great improvisers, why he's using a digital camera, future projects such Project Aloha, Night at the Museum 3, 39 Clues, Fantastic Voyage, and Real Steel 2, and a lot more. Hit the jump for what he had to say, »

Tied to its 20th birthday, the second Blu-ray release of action movie The Fugitive comes with a new featurette.
The 1993 crime film stars Harrison Ford (Cowboys & Aliens) as Dr. Richard Kimble, who’s convicted of killing his wife (Sela Ward, TV’s CSI: NY). Claiming his innocence, Kimble goes on the run. While U.S. Marshall Samuel Gerard (Tommy Lee Jones, The Company Men) and his team try to track down Kimble, the doctor must find the real killer, for justice and to save himself.
Julianne Moore (The Kids Are All Right) and Joe Pantoliano (Memento) also star in the PG-13 movie, which has grossed $184 million in theaters. The Fugitive also won an Oscar and a Golden Globe, both for Tommy Lee Jones’ supporting role.

Iron Man 3 weekend box office: Second biggest domestic debut ever? Directed by Shane Black and starring Robert Downey Jr, Iron Man 3 will likely boast the second biggest opening weekend ever at the North American box office — not factoring in inflation. According to studio estimates found at Box Office Mojo, Iron Man 3 grossed $68.31m on Friday, including $15.6m from Thursday evening and midnight screenings. (Photo: Marvel / Disney’s Iron Man 3.) For comparison’s sake: Joss Whedon’s The Avengers, the previous Marvel movie featuring Robert Downey Jr’s Iron Man, took in $18.7m from midnight screenings alone in May 2012; The Avengers‘ first-day gross was $80.81m. Directed by Jon Favreau, Iron Man 2 earned $7.5m from midnight screenings in May 2010; its first-day take was $51.23. Note: Iron Man 2 didn’t have the Iron Man 3 (or The Avengers) advantage of 3D surcharges, which can boost movie-ticket prices by »

• Jessica Chastain (Zero Dark Thirty) is reportedly in talks to join Christopher Nolan’s (The Dark Knight Rises) time-travel epic, Interstellar. She’d be joining a cast that currently includes Oscar-winner Anne Hathaway and Matthew McConaughey. Since she’s started getting more significant roles, Chastain has never really ventured into pure science fiction territory (we’re not counting Take Shelter). She famously dropped out of Oblivion when offered the Zero Dark Thirty role, so we’re excited for her to take on a new kind of film. The two-time Oscar nominee (The Help, Zero Dark Thirty) is currently filming Liv Ullmann »

Few folks in the independent film industry are more qualified to teach a master class on rights management and film distribution than John Sloss. Founder of Cinetic Media, a co-founder of both FilmBuff and Producers Distribution Agency (the theatrical distributor of "Exit Through the Gift Shop," "Senna," and more), Sloss himself has facilitated the sale and/financing of well over 300 films including "Before Midnight," "Little Miss Sunshine," "Precious," "Super Size Me," "The Kids Are All Right" and "We Need To Talk About Kevin." Sloss has been at it for 30 years, and at Hot Docs Thursday he indeed taught a master class, opening this up by noting that he's never been "at a more dynamic transitional period" in terms of the way he does his job in a quickly changing world of film distribution. "For me, it's extremely exciting," he said. "It creates great opportunities for people making movies." For nearly »

Actress Frances McDormand has been trying to get an adaptation of author Elizabeth Strout’s Pulitzer Prize-winning novel Olive Kitteridge off the ground for years, and it looks like things are now finally moving forward. Deadline reports that The Kids Are All Right director Lisa Cholodenko will helm a miniseries adaptation of the novel for HBO in which McDormand and Richard Jenkins will star. The story focuses on a retired schoolteacher and the characters that surround her, as the various tales of affairs, suicide, and emotional problems in her small Maine town are told through her eyes. McDormand will star as the schoolteacher, Olive Kitteridge, while Jenkins will play her husband. Cholodenko had previously been attached to direct an adaptation of the childrens book Alexander and the Terrible, Horrible, No Good, Very Bad Day, but she recently dropped out. Jane Anderson wrote the screenplay for the four-hour miniseries. Hit the »

Exclusive: HBO has set The Kids Are All Right helmer Lisa Cholodenko to direct and Frances McDormand and Richard Jenkins to star in a miniseries adaptation of the Pulitzer Prize-winning Elizabeth Strout novel Olive Kitteridge. Playtone partners Tom Hanks and Gary Goetzman will be executive producers along with McDormand and her As Is banner and Jane Anderson. Anderson adapted the book into the four-hour mini. David Coatsworth is producing. Olive Kitteridge tells the alternately poignantly sweet, acerbically funny, and devastatingly tragic story of a seemingly placid New England town wrought with illicit affairs, crime and tragedy, told through the lens of Olive, whose wicked wit and harsh demeanor mask a warm but troubled heart and a staunch moral center. McDormand plays the title character and Jenkins plays her husband, Henry. Getting this cast, director and a four-hour commitment from HBO is a real testament for McDormand. I’ve been following this one for years, »

The awards will be presented at Wif’s Annual Benefit Gala on Wednesday, June 12. The event will also celebrate the organization’s 40th anniversary.

Good morning!
Spain's openly lesbian politician Ángeles Álvarez is encouraging closeted women to come out. She's like "Look, guys, I did it and I survived!"
I never thought I'd read these words; "She plays a glam lesbian plumber." Apparently that is true of Joanne Matthews in the new BBC sitcom The Wright Way. The actress told The Daily Star:
Susan moves in her lesbian girlfriend, which riles [her dad]. He is very Ocd about everything.
Her Gf, played by Jennifer Saunders’ daughter Beattie Edmondson, has a fake Jamaican accent "as her character wants to be a DJ." This show sounds terrible or amazing.
If NeNe Leakes were gay, I feel like she'd be out about it, considering she's on two of the gayest TV shows on air. But Real Housewives lesbian rumors just keep on happening.

Good morning!
Out actress Jasika Nicole guest stars on Scandal tonight and it looks like she's someone's mother.
Eden Riegel's sister is a lesbian. I didn't know! She said her sis doesn't inform her All My Children character Bianca, though:
She doesn't advise me at all. She totally gave me permission to make the role my own.
I'd like her to make a cameo at a lesbian bar scene.
Voyeurs, want to check out Naya Rivera's home? She's selling this Beverly Hills bungalow to move to Los Feliz, where all the cool kids are.
Baz Luhrmann has always known how to put together a soundtrack. I mean, Romeo & Juliet, Moulin Rouge — those were full of the best music from films or otherwise. He's doing it again with The Great Gatsby, which includes »

Update: Jennifer Garner (The Odd Life of Timothy Green) will play Alexander's momin Alexander and the Horrible, Terrible, No Good, Very Bad Day. Steve Carell will play the dad. No word yet on which kid gets the plum role of Alexander, a kid who wakes up with gum in his hair and the day just goes downhill from there.
March 14, 2013 -Miguel Arteta is in talks to become the Third director for Alexander and the Horrible, Terrible, No Good, Very Bad Day for Disney. Arteta's forte seems to be outrageous comedy, his previous films are Michael Cera's Youth In Revolt and Ed Helms' Cedar Rapids, both of which were Rated R. Lately, he's been directing episodes of TV shows including the pilot for "The Carrie Diaries" and an episode of "New Girl." This is a straight up children's movie, I'm not sure why this project keeps attracting directors »
