Brad Bird on The Incredibles 2 and Star Wars: Episode VII

18 May 2013 1:38 AM, PDT | Flickeringmyth | See recent Flickeringmyth news »

Earlier this week it was revealed that Pixar has at least one other sequel in development beyond 2015's Finding Nemo follow-up Finding Dory; while Toy Story 4 must surely be at the top of any list, it wouldn't be too much of a surprise to see the Disney-owned animation studio attempting to capitalise on the current superhero boom with a sequel to 2004's smash hit The Incredibles. However, judging by comments from director Brad Bird it seems we can probably scratch The Incredibles 2 from the list of possibilities for the time being, although the two-time Oscar winner has revealed that he's certainly open to continuing the adventures of the superhero family.

"I have been thinking about [The Incredibles 2]. People think that I have not been, but I have," said Bird in an interview with The Hollywood Reporter. "Because I love those characters and love that world. I am stroking my chin and scratching my head. »

15 May 2013 10:49 PM, PDT | LatinoReview | See recent LatinoReview news »

Variety reports that Jocko Sims has joined the cast of Dawn of the Planet of the Apes. He is expected to play a military operative named Werner.

Sims released this tweet shortly after the news broke:

“I’ve had to keep this secret for nearly two months. It’s out! No…I don’t play an ape.”

Synopsis:

A growing nation of genetically evolved apes led by Caesar is threatened by a band of human survivors of the devastating virus unleashed a decade earlier. They reach a fragile peace, but it proves short-lived, as both sides are brought to the brink of a war that will determine who will emerge as Earth’s dominant species.

Andy Serkis, celebrated for his performance in the last film, reprises his role as Caesar. Dawn of the Planet of the Apes also stars Jason Clarke (Zero Dark Thirty, Public Enemies, The Great Gatsby), Gary Oldman (The Dark Knight Rises, »

15 May 2013 11:51 AM, PDT | Hitfix | See recent Hitfix news »

In the upcoming sci-fi film "Divergent", Shailene Woodley ("The Descendants") plays a teen who has a very hard time fitting in.

Following 2011’s Oscar-winning The Descendants, Alexander Payne is bound for Cannes this month with his latest film, Nebraska.

And we can’t wait to hear the first reviews from the festival. Smart money says that Nebraska is going to be a strong contender come Oscar season this year.

Watch the First Clip from Alexander Payne’s Cannes Entry, ‘Nebraska’

14 May 2013 9:06 PM, PDT | SoundOnSight | See recent SoundOnSight news »

The line-up for the Cannes Film Festival this year is pretty incredible. It includes Inside Llewyn Davis, Only God Forgives, The Congress, The Bling Ring, As I Lay Dying, Blood Ties, All Is Lost, and Nebraska, the new film from Alexander Payne (The Descendants, Election). The plot centers on an aging alcoholic (Bruce Dern) who convinces his estranged son (Will Forte) to take a road trip from Montana to Nebraska to collect what he believes to be a million dollar Publisher’s Clearing House prize. The first clip from the film has been released online and it features another veteran actor, Stacy Keach. The film premieres Thursday, May 23, but if you can’t make it down to the festival, Paramount Vantage plans to release it in theatres on November 22. Watch the clip below.

Cannes 2013: Nebraska Clip Lands Online

14 May 2013 5:01 PM, PDT | EmpireOnline | See recent EmpireOnline news »

There are many films to be excited about at this year's Cannes Film Festival - the Coens' Inside Llewyn Davis, Nicolas Winding Refn's Only God Forgives, Sofia Coppola's The Bling Ring and many more - but there's one that will stand out for many: Alexander Payne's latest, Nebraska.Like The Descendants (and many of Payne's other films), it involves family trouble. And like About Schmidt (and many of his other films), it involves a road trip, which places Nebraska firmly in the Payne wheelhouse. Based on a script by Bob Nelson, it was originally pitched to Payne while About Schmidt was in production, but knowing that his next film would be another road trip, Sideways, he decided to hold out on making it until after The Descendants.The plot sees Will Forte's David agreeing to go on a trip with his alcoholic aging father Woody (Bruce Dern »

Alexander Payne’s Nebraska First Clip

14 May 2013 3:16 PM, PDT | Filmofilia | See recent Filmofilia news »

Oscar-winner Alexander Payne has a new black-comedy headed to Cannes this year, taking on the black-and-white tale Nebraska. Actually, it’s over a decade since he was there with About Schmidt. Payne’s follow up to the Oscar-winning The Descendants will be playing in competition at Cannes and is probably one of the most exciting moments in the festival. The first clip below gives you a good idea of what to expect from the father-and-son film about a ‘curmudgeonly old drunk (Bruce Bern) who believes he’s won a million dollars from a Publisher’s Clearing House sweepstakes and drags his son (Will Forte) on a roadtrip to collect »

First Clip from Alexander Payne’s Nebraska Starring Bruce Dern and Will Forte

14 May 2013 11:25 AM, PDT | Collider.com | See recent Collider.com news »

Every year, I'm angry I don't get to go to Cannes, but this year has really me pissed off.  The incredible line-up includes Inside Llewyn Davis, Only God Forgives, The Congress, The Bling Ring, As I Lay Dying, Blood Ties, All Is Lost, and more.  Nebraska, the new film from Alexander Payne (The Descendants), will be playing in competition, and the first clip has only added to my jealousy of this year's festival-goers.  The plot enters on an aging alcoholic father (Bruce Dern) who decides to take a road trip from Montana to Nebraska to collect what he believes to be a million dollar Publisher’s Clearing House prize.  His estranged son (Will Forte) reluctantly agrees to accompany his father in order to keep him out of trouble.  There's grimness to this clip where one of the father's "friends" (played by Stacy Keach) tries to extort some money, and the »

Watch: First Clip Arrives From Alexander Payne's Cannes Entry 'Nebraska'

14 May 2013 11:02 AM, PDT | The Playlist | See recent The Playlist news »

Many of those bringing films to the Croisette for the Cannes Film Festival, which let's not forget, kicks off tomorrow, are old hands there: Roman Polanski, James Gray, even Baz Luhrmann have all debuted at least one film there in the past. Alexander Payne isn't quite a first-timer, but it's over a decade since he was there with "About Schmidt" in 2002, so his return with his latest, "Nebraska," is one of the most exciting moments in the festival (and the film was one of our ten most anticipated there). Coming off his greatest commercial success with the awards-lauded "The Descendants," Payne has switched gears, pulling away from A-listers and making a small-scale black-and-white father-and-son tale starring the unlikely duo of veteran Bruce Dern, and "SNL" star Will Forte. And with the film a little over a week from screening in Cannes, the first clip has arrived on the festival's official »

Cannes Honcho Thierry Fremaux Is Hollywood’s Inside Man

13 May 2013 7:57 AM, PDT | Variety - Film News | See recent Variety - Film News news »

When Baz Luhrmann’s “The Great Gatsby” raises the curtain on the 2013 Cannes Film Festival, it will serve, among other things, as an indication that the love affair between the festival and Hollywood is alive and well — much more than the last time Luhrmann opened Cannes, 12 years ago, with “Moulin Rouge.” Back then, relations between Cannes and Tinseltown had hit something of a low, with few studio films of the late ’90s making the trek to the Croisette (“Beyond Rangoon,” anyone?). When he joined Cannes in 2001, festival director Thierry Fremaux was immediately tasked by fest president Gilles Jacob with a peacemaking mission to the West Coast, and the decade since has been one of the richest for le cinema Americain on the Riviera — even if the biggest Cannes-launched Oscar winner of recent years was a French production: “The Artist.”

As opening night draws near, I asked Fremaux to reflect on »

After a seven year hiatus, filmmaker Alfonso Cuarón (Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban, Children of Men) is set to return to the screen this year with his latest offering Gravity, and Warner Bros. Pictures has released the first official trailer for the hotly-anticipated sci-fi film.

Having been in development since 2010, Gravity stars Sandra Bullock (The Blind Side, The Proposal) and George Clooney (Up in the Air, The Descendants) as two astronauts who find themselves stranded in space after their shuttle is destroyed during a spacewalk. Check out the official synopsis, followed by the trailer below...

Bullock plays Dr. Ryan Stone, a brilliant medical engineer on her first shuttle mission, with veteran astronaut Matt Kowalsky (Clooney) in command of his last flight before retiring.

Ansel Elgort Lands Lead in The Fault In Our Stars Opposite Shailene Woodley

10 May 2013 2:20 PM, PDT | Collider.com | See recent Collider.com news »

The male lead has been cast for the anticipated adaptation of author John Green's bestselling novel The Fault in Our Stars.  The Descendants star Shailene Woodley previously landed the coveted lead role of Hazel in the film, and after testing a group of actors for the film’s male lead, it appears that the producers have made their decision.  The story is told from the point of view of Woodley’s Hazel, a young cancer patient who strikes up a relationship with another cancer-striken teen named Gus in a support group.  EW reports that Ansel Elgort has been offered the role, and Green has nothing but praise for the the decision, calling Elgort “whip-smart, uber-charismatic and everything I dreamed for Augustus Waters.” The 19-year-old actor makes his big screen debut opposite Chloe Moretz in the remake of Carrie later this year, but he’s already filming a role with »
