Cannes Film Review: ‘As I Lay Dying’

20 May 2013 12:35 PM, PDT | Variety - Film News | See recent Variety - Film News news »

Barring a little noodling with split-screen compositions and to-camera monologues, James Franco plays it surprisingly straight with his latest directorial outing, a respectful, somewhat somnambulant adaptation of William Faulkner’s “As I Lay Dying.” Eschewing the gay characters and experimental tics that have marked his previous efforts, to say nothing of his abundant output elsewhere as a literary writer and pop performance artist, Franco offers up a competently acted, technically adequate Cliff Notes take on Faulkner’s narratively refracted tale of dirt-poor Mississippi folk in mourning. Pic’s theatrical shelf life will be limited, but ithas solid library potential, and a guaranteed audience base among English-lit majors behind on their term papers.

Published in 1930, “As I Lay Dying” holds a solid canonical position as one of Faulkner’s best, most frequently republished works, along with “The Sound and the Fury,” “Light in August” and “Absalom, Absalom!,” all of them set »

TWC's Coming Attractions: Oscar 2014 Watch

20 May 2013 11:30 AM, PDT | Alt Film Guide | See recent Alt Film Guide news »

Cannes Film Festival 2013: Harvey Weinstein’s Academy Awards Preview Show (Photo: Fruitvale Station, with Michael B. Jordan) Harvey Weinstein’s Cannes Film Festival Coming Attractions Special, a showcase of upcoming The Weinstein Company releases, is now regarded as one of the Croisette’s key film events. Because it provides a hint at who or what will win the Palme d’Or? Get real. Even at Cannes, it’s all about the Academy Awards. This year, Cannes Official Competition Jury Member Nicole Kidman was Weinstein’s co-presenter. And no, there wasn’t any influence peddling involved. Kidman was there because she is the star of The Weinstein Company’s upcoming Grace of Monaco, in which she plays another K-named movie star, Grace Kelly. And let’s not forget that 11 years ago Kidman won a Best Actress Oscar for The Hours, distributed by — at the time — the Weinstein-ruled Miramax. Two movies »

Movie Cliché Du Jour: Bad Guys Getting Caught on Purpose

20 May 2013 7:00 AM, PDT | NextMovie | See recent NextMovie news »

Warning: Spoilers Running Free.

Generally speaking, bad guys are bad guys because they want to do bad things and get away with them, so if you see one get caught in the middle of a movie it usually means they've got an ace up their sleeve. Lately we've been seeing this trend of the bad guy getting caught on purpose (capture, interrogation, threat, destruction, escape) in big tentpole blockbusters, and either every copy of Final Draft has a glitch that automatically pastes that into a script … or folks are getting lazy.

Seeing as how it's used once again in "Star Trek Into Darkness," let's cite five recent examples of this cliché in the hopes that we can declare a moratorium on it ... at least until it counts as nostalgia.

Culprit #1: 'The Dark Knight' (2008)

Mastermind: The Joker (Heath Ledger)

First Poster for Mandela: Long Walk to Freedom with Idris Elba

20 May 2013 3:00 AM, PDT | HeyUGuys.co.uk | See recent HeyUGuys news »

Justin Chadwick’s biopic, Mandela: Long Walk to Freedom, is all but guaranteed to be a strong contender at the Oscars this year, particularly with the muscle of The Weinstein Company behind it and a late November Us release date set.

The film sees Idris Elba take the titular role as the world-renowned South African politician, who served as President from 1994 to 1999, and who was the first black South African to hold the position. And with a little over half a year before the film arrives in theatres, the first poster has been released online, with Elba front and centre.

The story of South African freedom fighter Nelson Mandela, spanning over seventy years, including his struggle against apartheid, 27 years in jail and his rise to prominence as a political leader and head-of-state.

Elba stars opposite Naomi Harris, perhaps best known for her recent performance opposite Daniel Craig in Skyfall, who plays Winnie Mandela. »

Christopher Nolan in talks for Bond 24?

18 May 2013 1:39 AM, PDT | Flickeringmyth | See recent Flickeringmyth news »

With Sam Mendes passing on the opportunity to helm the next instalment in the James Bond franchise, Eon Productions has a pretty big job on its hands replacing the Skyfall director for 007's next big screen adventure. However, if a new rumour is to be believed, it seems that producers Barbara Broccoli and Michael G. Wilson are looking to turn to another acclaimed British filmmaker, with The Daily Mail reporting that Christopher Nolan is in early talks about directing Bond 24.

On the surface, it seems highly unlikely that Nolan could fit Bond 24 into his schedule, with The Dark Knight Trilogy director currently prepping his mysterious sci-fi flick Interstellar, which is due to open in cinemas on November 7th, 2014. However, back in March MGM Chairman Gary Barber said to expect Daniel Craig's fourth outing "within the next three years" so it could be a possibility if Sony, Eon »

From Bat to Bond: Nolan May Direct Next 007 Film

17 May 2013 5:23 PM, PDT | Cinelinx | See recent Cinelinx news »

Christopher Nolan, the man who sucessfully recreated Batman for a new generation, may get his shot at filming his interpretation of Agent 007. Nolan is in talks to possibly direct the next James Bond film.

Ever since Skyfall director Sam Mendes decided not to come back for the planned 24th Bond film, the search for a new director has begun. Recently, Bond franchise producers Barbara Broccoli and Michael G .Wilson have spoken to the red-hot Nolan about taking over the 007 franchise for the next James Bond film in the series. After all, who better to follow up the most successful Bond film ever (Skyfall) but the man who made Batman into box-office gold.

Nolan is an admited fan of the James Bond films, and his gritty style of filmmaking would be a good match for the more realistic style of the rebotted Bond franchise, starring Daniel Craig as 007. When discussing Bond last year in an interview, »

Christopher Nolan in Talks to Direct James Bond 24

17 May 2013 5:06 PM, PDT | WorstPreviews.com | See recent Worst Previews news »

Ever since "Skyfall" grossed over $1 billion at global box office and became the most successful James Bond installment, producers started thinking about how they will top it. Unfortunately, Sam Mendes will likely not return to direct and people like Danny Boyle have no interest in tackling franchise films. So the one name that keeps popping up is Christopher Nolan (The Dark Knight), who previously said that he would one day love to direct a James Bond movie. The Daily Mail is now reporting that "James Bond" producer Barbara Broccoli and Michael G. Wilson have approached Nolan and negotiations are now in early stages. Nolan is currently working on his "Interstellar" film, and it's not clear if he'll be able to complete it and still have time to begin work on the new Bond movie. Stay tuned. »

Is Christopher Nolan the Next Bond Director?

17 May 2013 4:46 PM, PDT | Manny the Movie Guy | See recent Manny the Movie Guy news »

He made us love Batman even more with "The Dark Knight" series, and he's about to do the same thing with Superman as executive producer of "Man of Steel," and now, Christopher Nolan may put his magic touch to James Bond.

According to The Daily Mail, the director has been approached to helm the next 007 movie and he's been in talks with the powers-that-be, Barbara Broccoli and Michael G. Wilson.

It's fine and dandy but Nolan is getting ready to start his next big film, "Interstellar," starring Anne Hathaway and Jessica Chastain, so Bond may have to wait.

Sure, Nolan is a Bond fan, but if talks moved forward and he became the director, will his 007 movie be better than the last Sam Mendes-directed flick? The fantastic "Skyfall?"

Having Nolan as director of anything is wonderufl! I worship his filmmaking abilities. But let's wait and see if Bond 24 will fall under his guidance. »

Local Hero: Christian Jeune, Head of Cannes Film Festival’s Film Office

17 May 2013 3:00 PM, PDT | Variety - Film News | See recent Variety - Film News news »

Job Description

From scouting films to pre-selecting and organizing screenings and pressers, Christian Jeune is the fest’s behind-the-scenes hero. “Scheduling the screenings of 50 films according to the films’ status, the talents’ schedules, superstitions, along with other parameters is total hell,” says Jeune, a discreet and friendly man. “It’s like playing a big domino game.” Jeune begins his job every year in the fall, traveling across Asia, notably China, Japan, South Korea and India, to dig up cinematic gems and do some PR for the fest. Industry insiders — from filmmakers to sales agents — know him well: He’s the guy who says “no” to 90% of the films that don’t make the official selection cut.

Special Challenge

Jeune remembers the almost-disaster of Wong Kar Wai’s “2046″ in 2004. The competition contender got to Cannes in pieces. Literally. “We had to reschedule the morning press screening to the evening, but even then, »

Christopher Nolan Has Been Approached To Direct Next 007

17 May 2013 1:04 PM, PDT | LatinoReview | See recent LatinoReview news »

In March, Empire reported that Sam Mendes, who directed the 23rd James Bond film, Skyfall, would not return to direct Bond 24. This was bad news because Skyfall was a critical and commercial success. After the lukewarm Quantum of Solace, Mendes had steered the ship back into Casino Royale territory.

How lucky are we, to have had two incredible Bond films within a span of 6 years? It’s a bit of a Bond renaissance if you ask me and it could continue if this next bit of news pans out the way we want it to…

Daily Mail reports that Christopher Nolan has been approached to direct the next James Bond film.

Daily Mail says informal talks have begun between Nolan’s representatives and the producers of the almighty Bond films.

Although this is exciting news, Nolan is currently working on his sci-fi epic, Interstellar. Would this affect his ability to direct Bond 24?

Christopher Nolan Approached to Direct the Next James Bond Movie - Good Choice?

17 May 2013 12:27 PM, PDT | Fandango | See recent Fandango news »

He’s British. He’s beloved as a filmmaker. And he is a self-professed Bond fan.  But does that mean Christopher Nolan is the right director to helm James Bond 24?    I ask in response to a new report in The Daily Mail claiming that producers of the Bond franchise are in “informal talks” with Nolan about possibly filling the vacancy left by Skyfall helmer Sam Mendes.    “It does no harm for [Bond producers] Broccoli and Wilson to talk with Nolan, even if nothing happens this time round,” a source tells the newspaper.    That doesn’t exactly sound like it’s set in stone. And there are reasons why Nolan wouldn’t be available for Bond 24. He is in pre-production on his own...

Nolan Talking With Bond Series Producers

17 May 2013 11:03 AM, PDT | Dark Horizons | See recent Dark Horizons news »

Christopher Nolan has been approached to direct the next 007 movie according to The Daily Mail.

Informal talks have reportedly begun between Nolan, his representatives and the producers behind the James Bond pictures, Barbara Broccoli and Michael G .Wilson.

"Skyfall" helmer Sam Mendes was previously linked to the project and has already confirmed he's opted out of returning.

Nolan is also committed to "Interstellar" which means it's unlikely Nolan could do the immediate next Bond film even if he wanted to.

A Bond series source says: "It does no harm for Broccoli and Wilson to talk with Nolan, even if nothing happens this time round."

Christopher Nolan in Talks For Next Bond Film

17 May 2013 10:50 AM, PDT | GeekTyrant | See recent GeekTyrant news »

 

Daily Mail writer Baz Bamigboye says Bond producers Barbara Broccoli and Michael G. Wilson are in talks with Christopher Nolan and his people for the 24th installment in the James Bond series. While it's still very early, Nolan might have a conflict issue as he is set to be filming his next big film Interstellar soon. That being said Nolan had no problem in directing both The Prestige and Inception between installments of his Dark Knight franchise. Speaking of Inception, Nolan was actually quoted in an article back in 2011 as saying the Bond films were a huge influence on the film and even went on to say this:

I’ve loved the Bond films since I was a kid. For me, they’re always about the expansiveness of cinema. The first Bond films set up infinite possibilities about the world they create. I’d love to do a Bond film. »

Christopher Nolan Has Been Asked to Direct the Next James Bond Movie

17 May 2013 10:42 AM, PDT | Movies.com | See recent Movies.com news »

Christopher Nolan is the name that pops up whenever nerds talk about revamping or reinvigorating a dark, action-based film franchise, but in the case of James Bond, it's warranted. The director, an admitted Bond nerd, has discussed the series' influence on his Batman films. "That globe-trotting thing, that idea of trying to get you along for a ride, that was very much a jumping-off point cinematically [for the Dark Knight trilogy]," he said last year. Inception also featured a nod to classic Bond in the ski-chase sequence that referenced 1969's On Her Majesty's Secret Service. After the smashing success of Bond 23, Skyfall, many assumed director Sam Mendes would sign on for another go-round. A few months ago, Mendes announced he wouldn't be...

Christopher Nolan Has Reportedly Been Offered Bond

17 May 2013 10:02 AM, PDT | Beyond Hollywood | See recent Beyond Hollywood news »

Christopher Nolan, last seen sending Batman flying off into the sunset in “The Dark Knight Rises” and currently hard at work on his sci-fi epic “Interstellar”, is reportedly said to have been offered the reins of the next James Bond movie. The Daily Mail quotes unnamed sources as saying that “informal talks have begun between Nolan, his representatives and the powers behind the James Bond pictures” for Nolan to take over Bond 24 after “Skyfall’s” Sam Mendes bailed on the sequel in favor of theater work. “Skyfall”, as you’ll recall, grossed over $1 billion dollars, becoming the highest grossing Bond movie of all time, despite some shoddy scripting and plotting and what was, in my opinion, an incredibly lame Third Act that involved Bond fighting villains “Home Alone”-style. Daniel Craig is expected to return as Bond whenever the 24th movie in the franchise begins shooting. From the sounds of it, »

Christopher Nolan May Direct Bond 24!

17 May 2013 9:57 AM, PDT | MovieWeb | See recent MovieWeb news »

Producers Barbara Broccoli and Michael G. Wilson are currently seeking a director for Bond 24, after Sam Mendes (Skyfall) turned down their offer to make the sequel back in March. The Dark Knight Rises filmmaker Christopher Nolan has been approached by the producers to direct the latest installment of their James Bond franchise.

Nothing is official as of yet, since talks are still in very early and informal stages, but the filmmaker recently met with the producers.

We reported in October that the producers are seeking a fall 2014 release date for this 007 adventure, which may pose a scheduling conflict for Christopher Nolan. He is currently in pre-production on his next movie, Interstellar, which has been set for a November 7, 2014 release.

Here's what an insider had to say about the informal discussions.

"It does no harm for Broccoli and Wilson to talk with Nolan, even if nothing happens this time round. »
