Weinstein Company touts 'Grace' and 'Mandela' but Kristin Scott Thomas steals the show
17 May 2013 12:03 PM, PDT | Hitfix | See recent Hitfix news »
Cannes - Harvey Weinstein took center stage Friday evening as The Weinstein Company held what has become a semi-annual preview of the rest of their yearly slate for select members of the domestic and international press corps at Cannes. In the past Weinstein has used this event to tease expected players such as "Nine" and "My Weekend with Marilyn." Last year, however, the event created a tremendous amount of buzz after a surprise 10 minute plus first look of "Django Unchained" as well as sneaks of Paul Thomas Anderson's "The Master" and David O. Russell's "Silver Linings Playbook." This time around »

Casting Watch: Blunt Joins Depp, Streep, Pine and Gyllenhaal for Disney's Sondheim Musical 'Into the Woods' Update
17 May 2013 8:51 AM, PDT | Thompson on Hollywood | See recent Thompson on Hollywood news »
Update: Emily Blunt has nabbed the lead female role of the Baker's Wife in Broadway musical choreographer-turned-director Rob Marshall's ("Chicago") screen adaptation of Stephen Sondheim's masterpiece "Into the Woods." She joins a knockout cast of Meryl Streep, who will play the Witch, Johnny Depp as the Wolf, Jake Gyllenhaal and Chris Pine as two princes and James Cordon ("One Man Two Guvnors") as the Baker. In "Into the Woods," the evil witch (Streep in the film) casts a spell on an unfortunate baker and his wife; they want a child, so they venture into the woods to try and find the witch. The only danger here is for Marshall's film version is that he's a big-spender; the period movie is starting to look expensive. David Krane (“Chicago,” “Nine”) is writing original music for the film, while James Lapine has adapted his book for the musical. Marshall’s producer »

Celebrity Cannes nightmares: Stars who had the worst time in paradise
16 May 2013 6:36 AM, PDT | Digital Spy | See recent Digital Spy - Movie News news »
There are few events in the entertainment calendar as painfully glamorous as the Cannes Film Festival. A-List stars parading around a gorgeous, exotic location in dresses that cost the same as a down payment on a nice semi-detached in Chiswick - this is showbiz heaven, isn't it?
You'd think it impossible when surrounded with so much luxury to have a bad time, but sadly for some celebs their visit to the showcase was a right pain in the derrière, as the French call it. As the 66th festival kicked off last night (May 15) with a gloomy, rain-lashed premiere of The Great Gatsby, we take a moment to remember the stars who came home crying from Cannes.

Look Who's Going "Into the Woods" with Meryl Streep and Johnny Depp!
15 May 2013 3:41 PM, PDT | Manny the Movie Guy | See recent Manny the Movie Guy news »
No other than Chris Pine and Jake Gyllenhaal! The actors are in early talks to join Meryl Streep and Johnny Depp in Rob Marshall's adaptation of the musical "Into the Woods" according to HuffPost. The two will be playing a pair of self-involved princes in the film. I'm guessing one will be playing Rapunzel's prince and the other, Cinderella's prince. There will be singing involved! Not quite sure about Gyllenhaal but we've seen Pine belt it out in the 2010 drama "Small Town Saturday Night" where the actor played a country singer. He even sang in the film's theme song "Someday Came Today."
But before "Into the Woods," Pine will be seen as Captain Kirk in the new flick "Star Trek Into Darkness."
For a little history of "Into the Woods" and what it's about, here's an excerpt from Wikipedia:

'Riddick' trailer: Vin Diesel's 'Pitch Black' threequel. It's happening.
15 May 2013 1:24 PM, PDT | EW - Inside Movies | See recent EW.com - Inside Movies news »
In 2000, a groovy little Alien-ish sci-fi/horror film called Pitch Black turned into a sleeper hit at the box office. One year later, star Vin Diesel became Hollywood’s Next Big Action Guy with the success of The Fast and the Furious. A Pitch Black sequel followed called Chronicles of Riddick. It went full-saga: Elaborate space-mythologies, a $100 million budget, Judi Dench. The film underperformed at the box office, and the franchise seemed just about dead. Another Riddick film? They said it couldn’t be done. They were wrong. Dead Wrong. Nine years later, here’s the first trailer for Riddick, »

Jake Gyllenhaal, Chris Pine, Johnny Depp and Meryl Streep all on the same silver screen?! Color us intrigued. Gyllenhaal and Pine are reportedly in talks to join Disney's adaptation of the Broadway musical Into the Woods, a project which already credits Streep and Depp as castmembers.

Chris Pine And Jake Gyllenhaal Consider Heading 'Into The Woods'
15 May 2013 9:00 AM, PDT | MTV Movies Blog | See recent MTV Movies Blog news »
Chris Pine and Jake Gyllenhaal could soon be headed "Into The Woods." Rob Marshall has long been developing an adaptation of Stephen Sondheim and James Lapine's classic musical for a while now, and it seems like he's coming ever closer to finalizing his cast.
The Hollywood Reporter says that Gyllenhaal and Pine are in talks to play two key roles in the upcoming feature film. The site's sources say the two men would portray Rapunzel's Prince and Cinderella's Prince, two brothers who are concerned as much with themselves as they are with their significant others. They also get to sing the hilarious song "Agony," so that's something to look forward to if Pine and Gyllenhaal do take the roles.
Marshall has already found two actors to join the project. Meryl Streep will play the Witch while Johnny Depp will play "Into The Woods'" version of the big bad wolf. »

Hold onto your beards: Jake Gyllenhaal, Chris Pine to play singing princes
15 May 2013 8:38 AM, PDT | Cineplex | See recent Cineplex news »
While it's clear that Meryl Streep (Mamma Mia!) and Johnny Depp (Sweeney Todd) have the pipes to carry a movie musical and writer-director Rob Marshall knows his way around the whole song-and-dance world (Nine, Chicago), Chris Pine and Jake Gyllenhaal, though gifted in the looks department, have yet to prove they can carry a tune.
That looks to change with the news that the two are eyeing roles in Marshall's upcoming Stephen Sondheim musical Into the Woods, where they'd play a pair of pompous princes looking to woo Cinderella and Rapunzel. So, yes this is another fairy tale movie where Streep will play the Witch (juicy!) and Depp the Wolf (yawn) while Tony-winning Brit James Corden has the lead role of Baker. »

10 Most Cringeworthy Performances By Otherwise Great Actors
13 May 2013 12:46 PM, PDT | Obsessed with Film | See recent Obsessed with Film news »
Even the greatest actors make bad decisions. As with all aspects of life, we don’t always know how things are going to turn out unless we try. And “try” is what the 10 actors we’ve assembled for the following list did in abundance. At least, we hope they tried (some of these picks are certainly questionable in that department).
In all cases, though, these downright strange and occasionally insane performances served only to have us questioning the talents of some of the motion picture’s most prestigious actors… how the hell did such defining talents manage to make us cringe quite so much as they did here? Just… don’t do it again, okay, guys?

Looking ahead to Phase Two of the Marvel Cinematic Universe

Feature Mark Harrison 1 May 2013 - 06:57
With The Avengers closing Marvel's Phase One, Mark looks ahead to the movies the studio has in store for Phase Two...
This article may contain spoilers for The Avengers, and for some of the movies that led up to it. It may also contain mild spoilers for Iron Man 3.
It's tough to think of a cinematic undertaking as vast as Marvel Studios' continuity of films since 2008's Iron Man. While The Lord Of The Rings and Harry Potter were both massive film productions based on a literary property, the first phase of Marvel's plan also cross-pollinated between respective franchises, all leading up to the big crossover in The Avengers.
On its own, The Avengers would have served as a nice conclusion to that series of inter-connected comic book movies, but it also marked the first chapter of a new story, which will »

Johnny Depp to Play the Big, Bad Wolf in Movie Version of "Into the Woods"
29 April 2013 10:32 AM, PDT | Manny the Movie Guy | See recent Manny the Movie Guy news »
Say what you will about Johnny Depp's singing prowess in Tim Burton's "Sweeney Todd: The Demon Barber of Fleet Street," but the actor may be back on the big screen with another musical role! This time it's the sexy and very hungry Wolf in the movie version of "Into the Woods."
THR is reporting that the actor is in talks to star in Disney's film adaptation of the hit Broadway musical for his "Pirates of the Caribbean: On Stranger Tides" director, Rob Marshall, who also helmed the Oscar-winning "Chicago" and "Nine" and the 1999 TV movie, "Annie."
Depp will be joining the fantastic Meryl Streep who is set to play the vain but very charismatic Witch. "Into the Woods" is a dark "Shrek" if you may, a hodge podge of classic fairy tales that feature a childless couple, Baker and his wife, who must go into the woods to lift a family curse. »

Into The... Trainwreck?
27 April 2013 10:00 AM, PDT | FilmExperience | See recent FilmExperience news »
For those of you who've had the pleasure of seeing Stephen Sondheim's classic Into the Woods (1986) on stage, you know that, like most of the great composer's once-prolific oeuvre, it is very particularly a Work of Theater. Some artists' skill sets transfer easily between stage, screen, television and literature and so on but others do not. Certain geniuses are so tied to a particular medium they become it; Stephen Sondheim Is Musical Theater.
But musical theater is different from musical cinema. Naturally compromises will have to be made. The person doing the new compromising is Rob Marshall who Hollywood is still giving the musicals to, presumably because of the huge success of Chicago (2002) and not the floppery of Nine (2009). So yes, compromises must be made... but they do not have to be made in casting. Many star actors -- if you're forced to cast that way -- have great singing voices. »

Johnny Depp In Talks To Join Disney’s Into The Woods
26 April 2013 7:13 PM, PDT | We Got This Covered | See recent We Got This Covered news »
Johnny Depp has recently entered talks to star in the Rob Marshall-directed adaptation of Into the Woods. “What’s Into the Woods?” you may ask. Well, it turns out it’s a musical that tells the story of The Baker and his wife, who are cursed with the inability to have children. In their journey, they cross paths with other fairy-tale characters such as Cinderella and Rapunzel. While it sounds corny and too much like Shrek in a couple of ways, it’s said to be dark and grim.
We’ve seen Depp dance and sing before in Sweeney Todd: The Demon Barber of Fleet Street, so this news shouldn’t come as a shock — besides, he’s previously worked with Marshall on the critically-panned yet commercially successful Pirates of the Caribbean: On Stranger Tides. He’s pretty busy promoting The Lone Ranger and has tons of other projects in line, »
