Oscar Alert: Julia and Judi, and Meryl Too
21 hours ago | Alt Film Guide | See recent Alt Film Guide news »
Meryl Streep and Julia Roberts in August: Osage County: Duel of the Oscar winners [See previous post: "Oscar 2014 Watch: Harvey Weinstein Cannes Film Festival Coming Attractions."] More Oscar 2014 bait: August: Osage County, directed by John Wells, and starring three-time Oscar winner Meryl Streep (Kramer vs. Kramer, Sophie’s Choice, The Iron Lady) and Oscar winner Julia Roberts (Erin Brockovich). Is it mere coincidence that Streep’s seventeenth Oscar nomination and third win was for her portrayal of British prime minister Margaret Thatcher in Phyllida Lloyd’s The Iron Lady — distributed by The Weinstein Company two years ago? Either way, Streep’s Oscar 2014 competition should be fierce, as Julia Roberts doesn’t seem to be wearing any makeup in the family drama. (Photo: Meryl Streep and Julia Roberts in August: Osage County.) Adapted by Tracy Letts from his own play, besides Meryl Streep and Julia Roberts, August: Osage County also features Oscar nominee Juliette Lewis (Cape Fear), Dermot Mulroney, Star Trek Into Darkness‘ Benedict Cumberbatch, »

Cannes 2013: Weinsteins Unveil Footage of 'Grace of Monaco', 'Salinger' and 'Mandela'

Anant Singh, Yuen Wo Ping, Harvey Weinstein, Rooney Mara, (unknown), Octavia Spencer, Melonie Diaz, Michael B. Jordan, Naomie Harris and Ryan Coogler at the Majestic Hotel This evening I attended the Weinstein Co.'s Cannes presentation in which they revealed information, footage and trailers from all of their upcoming 2013 releases, both domestically and abroad. For the most part what was shown has already been seen such as trailers for The Butler, August: Osage County, The Grandmaster and Fruitvale Station plus a clip from Nicolas Winding Refn's Only God Forgives, all of which I have included below in this recap of events, which did also feature some new footage from a selection of films. Weinstein himself seemed most proud of the upcoming, Shane Salerno-directed portrait of J.D. Salinger, which is aptly titled Salinger and 2013 Cannes jury member Nicole Kidman was on hand to offer a few words on Grace of Monaco, »

Fleming On Cannes: Can Sizzle Reels Make Sizzling Deals This Year?
14 May 2013 12:35 PM, PDT | Deadline New York | See recent Deadline New York news »
Cannes: Below I’ve compiled this year’s list of what Cannes films are most often being mentioned by potential buyers. But already there’s been a bit of action in the marketplace, with Warner Bros acquiring domestic on the Ryan Gosling-directed How To Catch A Monster. Sellers feel a good appetite for deal-making is in the air. “This has been the busiest month we’ve had going into a Cannes Film Festival. The frenetic activity has never been this intense,” said Roeg Sutherland, who runs CAA’s independent film operation with Micah Green. “It’s not that a lot of new companies are jumping in like they did last year. But we’re seeing those companies coming back here with good slates, which is the healthiest thing for everybody.” I can tell you that sellers this year are cautiously optimistic this Cannes market will be closer to 2011′s »

'What was my most embarrassing moment? When I wet myself on stage'
Olivia Colman, 39, was born in Norfolk. She studied at Bristol Old Vic Theatre School and then played Sophie in the Channel 4 sitcom Peep Show. She appeared in Shane Meadows's film Le Donk & Scor-zay-zee and was Carol Thatcher in The Iron Lady. In 2011 she starred in Paddy Considine's directorial debut, Tyrannosaur, and won a special jury prize at the Sundance film festival. Her latest film is Hyde Park On Hudson and her recent television roles include Rev, Twenty Twelve and Broadchurch. She stars with Considine in the ITV period crime drama The Suspicions Of Mr Whicher II, which begins tomorrow.

First look: Meryl Streep vs. Julia Roberts in hot Oscars prospect 'August: Osage County'
10 May 2013 7:53 AM, PDT | Gold Derby | See recent Gold Derby news »
From the looks of the first trailer (watch below) for "August: Osage County," it sure seems like Meryl Streep is a slam dunk to reap her 18th Oscar nomination. She shines in the role of Violet Weston, a pill-popping mad matriarch, who tangles with her eldest daughter Julia Roberts in the midst of a family crisis. John Wells' much-anticipated screen version of Tracy Letts' 2008 Tony and Pulitzer champ is produced by George Clooney and Grant Heslov who just won the Best Picture Oscar for "Argo." And it is distributed by the Weinstein Company which wrote the playbook for awards campaigning. Even before the debut of this trailer, Streep was the frontrunner for Best Actress. A win would give her three Best Actress Oscars, following victories for "Sophie's Choice" in 1982 and "The Iron Lady" last year. And with her 1979 supporting prize for "Kramer vs. Kramer," Streep would be tied w. »
First Teaser Trailer for Powder Room with Sheridan Smith, Jaime Winstone & Kate Nash
7 May 2013 5:30 AM, PDT | HeyUGuys.co.uk | See recent HeyUGuys news »
Based on the hit Edinburgh festival play, When Women Wee, Powder Room is set to hit cinemas on our shores later this year.
Young director Mj Delaney makes her feature directorial debut with the British comedy, led by the ever-brilliant Sheridan Smith, who has very much been deservedly on the rise in recent years.
And after a long wait, the first teaser trailer has finally landed online.
A ribald, rowdy exposé of what goes on behind the closed doors of the ladies’ toilets, Powder Room is outrageously funny. Pulling back the curtain on a world that remains a mystery to men and is delightfully familiar to women, it has broad appeal and is surprisingly full of heart. Featuring a wide array of weird and wonderful characters, from novice teenaged party girls, to seasoned ravers this is a no-holds-barred look at women’s friendships, rivalries and romances in all their infinite variety. »

With Durbin Gone, Who's Still Around from the '30s?
7 May 2013 3:41 AM, PDT | Alt Film Guide | See recent Alt Film Guide news »
Oscar winners Olivia de Havilland and Luise Rainer among movie stars of the 1930s still alive With the passing of Deanna Durbin this past April, only a handful of movie stars of the 1930s remain on Planet Earth. Below is a (I believe) full list of surviving Hollywood "movie stars of the 1930s," in addition to a handful of secondary players, chiefly those who achieved stardom in the ensuing decade. Note: There’s only one male performer on the list — and curiously, four of the five child actresses listed below were born in April. (Please scroll down to check out the list of Oscar winners at the 75th Academy Awards, held on March 23, 2003, as seen in the picture above. Click on the photo to enlarge it. © A.M.P.A.S.)

Olivia Colman: 'People kept asking me who the Broadchurch killer was'
4 May 2013 4:10 PM, PDT | The Guardian - TV News | See recent The Guardian - TV News news »
Olivia Colman first made her name in comedies such as Peep Show and Twenty Twelve, but in the last year she has exploded into drama. Megan Conner talked to her just as Britain was holding its breath for her performance in the finale of Broadchurch
Olivia Colman has asked to meet at a private members' club in Soho. I didn't have her down for that – she doesn't seem the type to be falling out of the Groucho, but this one is a little less hip, the sort of place that is filled with film and television executives having nice lunches. On the table next to us a group of agents is discussing whether the Cannes film festival is up to much this year: "I mean, I might be better off in San Sebastián…" I think I hear one sigh.

The Iron Lady: Costume as Distinction, Gender and Protection
4 May 2013 1:37 AM, PDT | Clothes on Film | See recent Clothes on Film news »
The Iron Lady (2011) is a film full of interesting sartorial clues put in place by costume designer Consolata Boyle. While it chooses not to deal in depth with the career of Margaret Thatcher, instead focusing on a story of a sick and lonely old woman remembering a rose tinted past, it certainly employs colour and clothing as indicators of mood, gender, power, emotion and, of course, political allegiance.
The first shot of The Iron Lady depicts an almost unrecognisable Margaret Thatcher (Meryl Streep) buying a pint of milk. She is dressed in a loose fitted beige anorak, beige floral print headscarf and sensible flat shoes; she is the picture of ordinariness, a non-threatening, indescribably average old lady. This first appearance sets up precisely the angle the film is going to adopt; a character drama looking at the sadness of facing old age alone and the despondency of a once powerful »

Cannes 2013: Harvey hits the Croisette again
18 April 2013 9:14 AM, PDT | Hitfix | See recent Hitfix news »
Harvey Weinstein has been using the Cannes Film Festival to position The Weinstein Company's awards hopefuls nicely the last few years. How are things shaping up for the 66th annual? First, a brief history... In 2011, a few months after finally landing a post-Miramax Best Picture Oscar for "The King's Speech," he made a big splash in acquiring last-minute Cannes addition "The Artist" and "The Iron Lady" (which screened five minutes of footage on the market) out of the 64th annual fest. We all know how that turned out: the black-and-white French silent skipped like a stone on festival waters throughout »

The Ding Dong Is Over: Anti-Thatcher Song Denied Number One
14 April 2013 10:51 AM, PDT | Huffington Post | See recent Huffington Post news »
'Ding Dong The Witch Is Dead' has failed to reach number one, after an online campaign by opponents of late former prime minister Margaret Thatcher propelled it into the charts.
The recording, taken from 1939 film 'The Wizard of Oz', entered the charts at number two.
It was more than 5,000 sales short of this week's chart-topper 'Need U (100%)' by Duke Dumont featuring A*M*E.
The Official Charts Company described 'Ding Dong The Witch Is Dead' as "one of the most controversial chart contenders of all time".
The 51-second song entered the charts at number 54 on Tuesday, the day after Baroness Thatcher's death, and climbed to number 10 on Wednesday. By Thursday, it had reached number four and was at number three by Friday.
There was a final rush of 18,000 sales between Friday morning and today, the Official Charts Company said, but its final total was 52,605 copies - 5,700 behind Duke Dumont, »

SNL’s Johnny Rotten Clone Loves Margaret Thatcher, Hates Everyone Else
13 April 2013 9:25 PM, PDT | Mediaite - TV | See recent Mediaite - TV news »
The writers for Saturday Night Live paid tribute to late British Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher, who passed away this week, with a mock rockumentary about a punk-rocker named Ian Rubbish, who hated pretty much everyone and everything, but loved The Iron Lady. It seems like a bit of an offbeat premise, unless you accept the fact that Saturday Night Live writers probably juice their flagging creative energy by throwing darts at the Mediaite homepage. »

How Margaret Thatcher left her mark on British culture

From Meryl Streep's Iron Lady to Spitting Image and the Spice Girls, Observer writers and critics pick the films, books, art, music and TV that show Thatcher's lasting influence
Art, chosen by Laura Cumming
Treatment Room (1983)
In Richard Hamilton's installation, Thatcher administered her own harsh medicine from a video above the operating table with the viewer as helpless patient: a case of kill or cure.
Taking Stock (1984)
Hans Haacke portrayed Thatcher enthroned, nose in the air like a gun-dog, surrounded by images of Queen Victoria, the Saatchi brothers and, ominously, Pandora. Caused national furore.
In the Sleep of Reason (1982)
Mark Wallinger edited Thatcher's 1982 Falklands speech from blink to blink, fading to black in between, emphasising her solipsistic tendency to close her eyes when speaking as if nobody else existed.

Reader Review: ’42′
12 April 2013 7:55 PM, PDT | LatinoReview | See recent LatinoReview news »
Dic Hertz is doing what he does best and sent us a review of 42.
I won’t waste your time babbling on and on, here’s what you really want:
42 Review
Hero is a word thrown around quite a bit in the world of sports. However, heroism isn’t always about obtaining play-based successes on the field – it’s about breaking barriers.
“42” embarks on the story of two men – the legendary Jackie Robinson and the great Brooklyn Dodgers Gm Branch Rickey – whose bravery to oppose prejudices changed the world of baseball as we know it.
In 1946, Branch Rickey (Harrison Ford) placed himself on an unusual spotlight when he signed Jackie Robinson (Chad Roseman) to the Brooklyn Dodgers, breaking racial ice among Mlb’s color-based divide. The deal placed both men in the font-lines of scrutiny, ridicule and constant bashing. Facing unstoppable racism from every angle, Robinson was forced to display tremendous strength, »

Blu-ray Review: ‘Hyde Park on Hudson’ Wastes Audacious Turn by Bill Murray
12 April 2013 11:38 AM, PDT | HollywoodChicago.com | See recent HollywoodChicago.com news »
Chicago – I’m always astonished when a filmmaker takes a fascinating figure immortalized in history and decides to explore one of the least interesting aspects of their life. “The Iron Lady” was so fixated on celebrating Margaret Thatcher’s gender that it ignored both her achievements and her controversies. “My Week with Marilyn” made the maddening decision to view its titular Hollywood icon through the perspective of a starry-eyed bore.
And now here’s “Hyde Park on Hudson,” a ghastly piece of would-be Oscar bait sure to offend every history buff eager to see a solid biopic (or, at the very least, character portrait) of Franklin Delano Roosevelt. This is a president whose policies are still a vital part of the national discourse today, and whose steadfast determination to pull America out of a hellacious Depression led to its transformation.

'Iron Man 3' British Premiere Delayed for Iron Lady's Funeral
12 April 2013 8:17 AM, PDT | NextMovie | See recent NextMovie news »
Tony Stark might not always be flexible, but when he is it's totally an international affair.
The funeral for the late prime minister Margaret Thatcher is scheduled (say that with a "shh" sound for the occasion) to take place next Wednesday, April 17, which also happens to be the date the "Iron Man 3" London premiere was supposed to take place, so Disney has now decided to push the prem date back a day in deference.
Per The Hollywood Reporter, though, this is no matter of the Golden Avenger courteously yielding the right of way to "The Iron Lady" just for the bleedin' heck of it. Instead, the studio pretty much got wind of all the political ruckus surrounding Thatcher's legacy — a protest in the very nearby Trafalgar Square might just be a-brewing thanks to disagreements over her leadership choices — and decided, wisely, ain't nobody got time for that.

Thatcher Funeral Delays 'Iron Man 3'
12 April 2013 5:59 AM, PDT | Huffington Post | See recent Huffington Post news »
The Iron Lady is delaying Iron Man ... but just for one day.
As reported by THR, Disney has decided to push back the U.K. premiere of "Iron Man 3" by one day to distance the event from Margaret Thatcher's funeral. The "Iron Man 3" UK premiere will now take place on April 18 instead of April 17; stars Robert Downey Jr. and Gwyneth Paltrow are still expected to attend. "Iron Man 3" opens in the U.K. and other international territories on April 26. It's U.S. debut doesn't happen until May 3.
This is the second year in a row Disney has opened a Marvel blockbuster overseas: last year, the studio released "Marvel's The Avengers" one week prior to its domestic debut on May 1. Disney isn't the only studio with eyes on overseas revenue: Sony premiered "Skyfall" in the U.K. before screening for U.S. audiences, and Paramount has slotted »
