'Life Of Pi' Star Suraj Sharma & Alan Arkin Join Baseball Flick 'Million Dollar Arm' With Jon Hamm
18 April 2013 3:19 PM, PDT | The Playlist | See recent The Playlist news »
In his first role since his breakout performance as the title character in “Life of Pi,” Suraj Sharma has chosen to play another Indian boy on a remarkable journey -- this time in the real-life tale “Million Dollar Arm” as a cricket player who wins a reality television competition and a contract to play baseball in the United States. Of the two actual pitchers, Rinku Singh and Dinesh Patel, it is unclear which one Sharma will be playing. Alan Arkin has also signed on to embody another industry veteran type after his Oscar-nominated turn in “Argo,” this time as a retired baseball scout. The two join Jon Hamm as sports agent J.B. Bernstein who orchestrated this unlikely fairytale -- which is shaping up to have an increasingly promising cast. Behind the camera, Craig Gillespie of “Lars and the Real Girl” will helm while Tom McCarthy (“Win Win,” “The Visitor”) wrote the script. »

DreamWorks Making Film About Catholic Church's Cover-Up of Pedophile Priests

DreamWorks has acquired the film rights to a story by the Boston Globe that investigated the Catholic Church's decades-long cover-up of its pedophile priests in Massachusetts. Tom McCarthy (The Visitor) will direct and co-write the script. Boston Globe's team of reporters spent a year interviewing victims and reviewing thousands of pages of documents and discovered years of cover-up by Church leadership. Their reporting eventually led to the resignation of Cardinal Bernard Law, who had hidden years of serial abuse by other priests and opened the floodgates to other revelations of molestation and cover-ups around the world that still reverberate today. "The Boston Globe's coverage of the Catholic priest scandal opened the door to a bigger story that had worldwide ramifications," said DreamWorks. "The story of how this team of editors and reporters came to uncover the truth will make a dramatic and compelling film, especially with the talents of our »

DVD Review - Darling Companion (2012)
10 February 2013 11:43 PM, PST | Flickeringmyth | See recent Flickeringmyth news »
Darling Companion, 2012.
Directed by Lawrence Kasdan.
Starring Mark Duplass, Richard Jenkins, Diane Keaton, Kevin Kline, Elisabeth Moss, Sam Shepard, Dianne Wiest and Ayelet Zurer.
Synopsis:
Mother and daughter, Beth and Grace, find a bedraggled dog on the side of the freeway. Taking it home and rescuing it, the dog helps Grace meet a man - but Beth's husband hates the dog and it just might cause even more friction within the family...
Darling Companion represents one of the biggest wastes of talent, either on or off screen, to ever get together and make a film.
There’s too many people involved here to write it off as a minor blip. The main offender is writer/director Lawrence Kasdan for writing a 100 minute script about the wealthy people looking for a dog one of them found abandoned next to the freeway. The lost dog becomes a crass metaphor for love and »
