Global Showbiz Briefs: Smaller Chinese Cities Seeing Box-Office Boom; Wimbledon Studios Selling Off TV And Movie Sets

Panjin Among ‘Fourth-Tier’ Chinese Cities Seeing Surge At Box Office Like other so-called fourth-tier Chinese cities, Panjin is experiencing a box-office boom. Theaters there are selling nearly as many tickets in a month as they previously were in an entire year. It’s part of a growing trend that has smaller cities gaining momentum. According to figures from EntGroup Consulting and reported by China Daily, annual box-office revenues in the city near the Liaoning province jumped to $4.17M in 2012 from $432,000 the year prior. It also now has 40 screens compared to 19 in 2011. As of May 12, box office revenues in China for 2013 were up 39% with domestic pictures repping 63% of the total. Small and medium-sized cities were the major driving forces for those local films. EntGroup has said that in 2012, 284 third- and fourth-tier cities accounted for 34% ticket sales. That’s expected to jump to 42% by the end of 2015. For Sale: Wimbledon Studios »

‘Diana’ Trailer: Naomi Watts is the People’s Princess
12 June 2013 8:39 AM, PDT | ScreenRant.com | See recent Screen Rant news »
It’s no secret that portraying a famous figure is a great career (and awards) booster for any qualified actor or actress; the last few years alone have brought acclaim to biopic stars like Colin Firth (as King George VI in The King’s Speech), Meryl Streep (as Margaret Thatcher in The Iron Lady), Michelle Williams (as Marilyn Monroe in My Week With Marilyn) and of course, Daniel Day Lewis (as Abraham Lincoln in Lincoln).
Naomi Watts already has been nominated for two Oscars, but is definitely angling for a third with her new film Diana, a biopic memoir about the last two years of Princess Diana’s life, following her divorce from Prince Charles. Watch the teaser trailer for the film above; the movie comes by way of German director Oliver Hirschbiegel (The Experiment) and acclaimed UK playwright-turned-screenwriter, Stephen Jeffreys.

Diana Trailer Hits – See Naomi Watts As “The People’s Princess”
12 June 2013 8:34 AM, PDT | Obsessed with Film | See recent Obsessed with Film news »
Olivier Hirschbiegel is no stranger to controversy. The German born director memorably helmed a chilling biopic of the most controversial character of the 20th century in Adolf Hitler with Der Untergang (The Downfall), a movie that dared to show an oddly sympathetic and humane Third Reich leader in his final days, almost making us forget he had slaughtered millions of innocent people. That movie was the first ever German production where a real-life German played Hitler, and in the midst of enormous scrutiny for his decision to make it, Der Untergang now stands as perhaps the most important post-war German film ever made.
Having directed a Hollywood remake of the classic science-fiction classic Invasion Of The Bodysnatchers with 2007′s The Invasion (another move that angered many, if not quite as controversial), Hirschbiegel is back on the biopic trail with a drama about perhaps the most controversial figure in the Western world in the 1990s, »

Jennifer Lawrence Joins The Rules Of Inheritance
7 June 2013 3:00 AM, PDT | GeekTyrant | See recent GeekTyrant news »
It's been awesome to see Jennifer Lawrence blow up as an actress since Winter's Bone. I remember seeing that movie and thinking that she's going to be the next big star. Now look at her! Making all kinds of great movies and winning an Oscar.
The actress is now set to star in a film called The Rules Of Inheritance, which is being directed by Susanne Bier, who just made the film Serena with Lawrence and Bradley Cooper. The script for the film was written by Abi Morgan (The Iron Lady, Shame).
The film is based on Claire Bidwell Smith’s memoir about "a young woman who loses her family, but finds herself in the process." Sounds like another one of those films that could earn Lawrence another Oscar nomination. Here's a more detailed description of the book:
A coming-of-age story that is both heartbreaking and exhilarating.

Jennifer Lawrence Will Learn 'The Rules of Inheritance'

At the ripe old age of 22, Jennifer Lawrence has already launched a worldwide blockbuster franchise in "The Hunger Games" and won an Oscar for "Silver Linings Playbook." And that was just what she accomplished last year. So when you're already on top of the acting world, where do you turn for a challenge?
Well, how about producing?
Yes, according to Variety, J-Law will not only be starring in but also producing the upcoming film "The Rules of Inheritance." There's just no limit to her talent, is there?
Based on the novel of the same name by author Claire Bidwell Smith, "The Rules of Inheritance" tells the story of a twentysomething gal (that's Lawrence) whose life is turned upside down when both of her parents are diagnosed with cancer. Naturally, that leads to a journey of self-discovery and yada yada yada.

Jennifer Lawrence Will Star in The Rules of Inheritance
5 June 2013 8:20 PM, PDT | Vulture | See recent Vulture news »
Jennifer Lawrence likes to find a groove and stick with it. After making Silver Linings Playbook with David O. Russell, she joined Russell's American Hustle and a second, more distantly forthcoming Russell film called The Ends of the Earth. Now, Lawrence is set to reteam with her Serena director Susanne Bier for The Rules of Inheritance, with a script by Abi Morgan (The Iron Lady, Shame). According to Deadline, the movie's based on a 2012 memoir by Claire Bidwell Smith, "an only child who, over a seven-year period as a young adult, loses both her parents to cancer. While struggling to cope, she propels herself into many romances, adventures and travels in an inspirational, emotionally charged and surprisingly humorous journey that celebrates life, the people we love and lose and the discoveries we make along the way." And what does the actual Smith think of J-Law playing her? "It's so surreal »

Jennifer Lawrence Reteams With Susanne Bier And Will Follow 'The Rules Of Inheritance'
5 June 2013 7:32 PM, PDT | The Playlist | See recent The Playlist news »
While we continue to patiently wait for whatever Jennifer Lawrence and director Susanne Bier cooked up with the Depression-era drama "Serena" (along with Bradley Cooper), it looks like the experience was a very, very good one for the actress and director, as they are planning to pair up again. Lawrence will produce and star in an adaptation of Claire Bidwell Smith's memoir "The Rules Of Inheritance," with Bier slated to direct, from a script by Abi Morgan ("Shame," "The Iron Lady"). If as Variety suggests, Lawrence wanted "a little more creative control on the projects she is involved in," well, she's exercising those powers with some smart choices. As for the movie, it will tell the very true story of one young girl's rough and tumble coming-of-age after both her parents are diagnosed with cancer.

'Doctor Who': Could Matt Smith's replacement be Ben Daniels, David Harewood or Rory Kinnear?
3 June 2013 7:20 PM, PDT | Zap2It - From Inside the Box | See recent Zap2It - From Inside the Box news »
With Matt Smith officially on his way out after three seasons as "Doctor Who," speculation is running rampant as to who will land the coveted role of the Twelfth Doctor.
Theories range from the wacky (former companion Billie Piper!?) to the preposterous (Benedict Cumberbatch, who is a little busy making a ton of movies, not to mention "Sherlock"), but the frontrunners have narrowed down to a credible bunch.
Topping the list is "Law & Order UK" star Ben Daniels (pictured above, left), who at 48 years old would be a notable departure from recent younger Doctors including the youngest ever, Smith. Best known for his work in British TV (including "Cutting It," "The State Within" and "Merlin") and theater, Daniels also recently co-starred as Adam Galloway on Netflix's "House of Cards."
Daniels currently leads the odds by a large margin on UK betting site SkyBet.com and his name has quickly circulated »

Ivernel Leaves Pathe to Launch U.K. Production Company

Senior Pathe exec Francois Ivernel has quit the European mini-major to start up London-based production company Montebello Prods.
Most recently, Ivernel had been serving as chairman of the board and managing director of Les Cinemas Gaumont Pathe, deputy managing director of Pathe, a member of its exec board and prexy of Pathe U.K.
At Montebello, Ivernel will produce “smart, reasonably budgeted, mostly English-speaking films with a great story that can reach a worldwide audience,” he told Variety.
Most of Montebello’s movies will be budgeted under $30 million, Ivernel added, so not necessarily dependent on a U.S. distribution deal to go into production. Ivernel said he will produce his films “one at a time.”
He pointed to films he executive produced at Pathe — “The Queen,” “Bright Star,” “Slumdog Millionaire,” “127 Hours” and “The Iron Lady” — as “exactly the type of films I’d like to produce.”

‘Behind the Candelabra’ and Our Relationship With Fame
28 May 2013 7:00 AM, PDT | FilmSchoolRejects.com | See recent FilmSchoolRejects news »
There seems to have been a decisive change in the mainstream biopic recently. Instead of attempting to chronicle a public figure’s emergence into renown from childhood to death, several biopics find their subject in a way that assumes the achievement of fame to be a given from the get-go. Movies like Capote, Invictus, Hitchcock, and Lincoln (not to mention the upcoming Saving Mr. Banks) choose to examine a particular episode in the life of a well-known person instead of justify its subject’s achievement of fame by depicting a summary trajectory of youth to adult achievement. Sure, J. Edgar and The Iron Lady stand out as conspicuous exceptions, as signs that the conventions of the biopic are still alive and well. But this newer approach to the biopic (Invictus excepted) seems to allow a great deal of opportunities that conventional biopics don’t (to the point where they’re arguably no longer biopics): the ability »
