How Does One Compose for a Film Adapted from a Play?
13 June 2013 3:39 PM, PDT | FilmSchoolRejects.com | See recent FilmSchoolRejects news »
It is a challenge to take a story originally intended to be performed on stage in front of a live audience and adapt it for the very different environment of the big screen. A compelling story is a compelling story, but sometimes the moment the restrictions of the stage are taken away through “movie magic,” an important element is lost rather than gained. On stage it comes down to the actors and their performances and while that can be an immersive experience when watching live, it does not always translate to film. Movies are about being shown rather than told and plays are more about the dialogue and subtle performances of the actors. There is a connective tissue that does not always exist on stage, but does in film, and can help bridge this gap – music. Films need music to help round out emotion, especially when the actor is not standing right in front of you. But »

Leonardo DiCaprio to play Rasputin for Warner Bros.
9 June 2013 11:10 PM, PDT | Flickeringmyth | See recent Flickeringmyth news »
Leonardo DiCaprio is set to portray Grigori Yefimovich Rasputin, the infamous Russian mystic, healer and prolific womaniser who rose to become one of the most influential advisors to the Russian Imperial family the Romanovs in the early 20th century before being poisoned, shot, beaten, shot, strangled, clubbed, shot, castrated and then shot again by his rivals, who then dumped him in the icy Neva River where he subsequently drowned. Or something like that.
The latest screen version of the Mad Monk's mad life has been written by Jason Hall, who recently penned the script for Steven Spielberg's upcoming biopic American Sniper starring Bradley Cooper, and will be produced by DiCaprio's production company Appian Way for Warner Bros. Pictures. Kevin McCormick (Gangster Squad), Jennifer Davisson Killoran (The Ides of March) and Peter Morgan (The Queen) will all serve as producers.

First Set Photos From The Monuments Men
7 June 2013 6:52 AM, PDT | We Got This Covered | See recent We Got This Covered news »
George Clooney has always been regarded as an enjoyable actor to watch, but it wasn’t until 2011′s The Ides Of March that people realized he was more than just an actor who wanted to try his hand at directing, he’s a phenomenal writer and director who has the ability to deliver an excellent film. So naturally, the hype surrounding his next project, The Monuments Men, is pretty high.
It also helps when you bring in one of the greatest ensemble casts since Ocean’s Eleven. With Matt Damon, Bill Murray, Cate Blanchett, Jean Dujardin, John Goodman, Hugh Bonneville, and Bob Balaban all on board, it seems like Clooney’s upcoming film is destined for greatness.
Filming is underway in England, and some photographers were able to snap some shots of the cast in full World War II regalia. We’ve got Damon and Clooney in officer’s uniforms behind lower ranking men, »

Philip Seymour Hoffman Heroin Use: Actor Gets Treated For Snorting Substance
31 May 2013 7:16 AM, PDT | Celebsology | See recent Celebsology news »
Philip Seymour Hoffman has had a rough year, but the actor is just bringing to light that he admitted himself for rehab this past month. The Ides of March actor tells TMZ that he completed a 10 day stint in rehab for snorting heroin a week ago Friday.
The actor had "a great group of friends and family" throughout the process. The struggles apparently only lasted a week, but he decided to check into a detox facility on the Easy Coast after noticing he needed help.
Hoffman will next be seen in The Hunger Games: Catching Fire.

Johnny Depp Drops Out of Whitey Bulger Biopic
30 May 2013 5:34 PM, PDT | Variety - Film News | See recent Variety - Film News news »
With Johnny Depp leaving “Black Mass,” odds are that the Whitey Bulger drama won’t make it to the big screen any time soon.
A rep for Cross Creek said that the production-financing company was seeking a replacement for Depp, who had come on board with Barry Levinson directing amid fanfare in February just before the start of the Berlin market.
See Also: ‘Alice in Wonderland’ Sequel in the Works (Exclusive)
The rep refused to answer questions as to when the production would start and how Depp’s departure would impact foreign sales. Exclusive Media, which is co-financing, had no comment, but several sources indicated that buyers could easily back out of territorial sales agreements made at the markets at Berlin and Cannes given the absence of the “essential element” of Depp.
Joel Edgerton remains attached to “Black Mass” as an FBI agent as does Levinson.
It’s uncertain why »

Immersed in Movies: Craft-Talking David Fincher's Emmy-Contender 'House of Cards'
24 May 2013 11:22 AM, PDT | Indiewire Television | See recent Indiewire Television news »
From the very first moment that Kevin Spacey broke the fourth wall as the devilishly charming House Majority Whip Frank Underwood in "House of Cards," Netflix's first original TV series, we knew that we were in for "Richard III" in D.C. It's so David Fincher, who signed on as exec producer and director of the first two episodes, while writer-showrunner Beau Willimon ("The Ides of March") plotted the political machinations with transcendent glee. (Our in-depth interview with Willimon is here.) No wonder the series has induced binge viewing and Emmy buzz. I recently spoke with the three Bs of below-the-line craft on the acclaimed, $100 million political thriller, which is in pre-production on its second season: cinematographer Eigil Bryld ("You Don't Know Jack"), costume designer Tom Broecker ("Saturday Night Live"), and composer Jeff Beal ("Blackfish"), whose two-disc soundtrack is available on Varese Sarabande.

This story first appeared in the May 17 issue of The Hollywood Reporter magazine. Nigel Sinclair and Guy East both made so much money during the early 2000s that neither really needs to work. Yet this year, the duo celebrates the fifth anniversary of Exclusive Media, an independent production, financing and sales company on a winning run thanks to such hits as George Clooney's The Ides of March, End of Watch, Snitch and The Woman in Black, a low-budget Daniel Radcliffe horror movie that grossed a whopping $127 million worldwide in 2012.

George Clooney Has Coronado High In His Sights, May Reteam With Argo Scribe
26 April 2013 6:18 AM, PDT | We Got This Covered | See recent We Got This Covered news »
George Clooney and his producing partner Grant Heslov clearly aren’t fans of resting on their laurels. After spearheading hostage thriller Argo to Oscar success last year, they immediately began filming Monuments Men – a drama film starring Matt Damon which will be released later this year. Furthermore, according to The Wrap, the pair also has their eyes on a future project entitled Coronado High, which will be adapted from an as-yet-unpublished article from Joshuah Bearman.
If Bearman’s name rings a bell, it probably should. The journalist provided Clooney & Co. with the creative foundations for Argo with his article ‘How the CIA used a fake Sci-Fi flick to rescue Americans from Tehran’ which was published in 2007. Thankfully, though, Ben Affleck decided against using that as the movie’s title. While details remain scant at this point in time, we do know the basis of Coronado High’s subject matter. It »

'Catching Fire' new photos: Philip Seymour Hoffman is your new head game maker
13 April 2013 1:53 AM, PDT | Hitfix | See recent Hitfix news »
Philip Seymour Hoffman rarely ventures into studio films that aren't of the prestige variety. The best actor Oscar winner for "Capote" has a glittering resume featuring modern classics such as "Boogie Nights," "The Talented Mr. Ripley" and "Almost Famous," among others, but his studio work? Paycheck roles in "Along Came Polly" and "Mission: Impossible III" hardly seem at home with his numerous Paul Thomas Anderson collaborations. More recently, however, "Moneyball" and "The Ides of March" proved more challenging endeavors could work for Hoffman in the studio world. Will "The Hunger Games: Catching Fire" fall into that category as well? Surprising many observers, »

Martha Stewart on new PBS series, her binge-watch picks, and returning to reality TV
6 April 2013 6:00 AM, PDT | EW - Inside TV | See recent EW.com - Inside TV news »
Somewhere between tweeting, blogging, and bringing her instructional series Martha Bakes and Martha’s Cooking School to PBS (check local listings), Martha Stewart has managed to squeeze in a few more passions. Namely, marathon viewings of Homeland and Ryan Gosling.
But what elevates the domestic goddess’s binge-watching from that of your everyday entertainment junkie is her method: “I have a big TV in my kitchen, so I can do canning or make jam. That takes hours and hours, and I can watch Homeland, all 13 episodes .”
Fellow PBS program Downton Abbey is another addiction. “It’s a soap opera, but there are no grammatical mistakes, »

Early 2014 Oscar Predictions: First Best Adapted Screenplay Line-Up
28 March 2013 1:30 PM, PDT | Rope of Silicon | See recent Rope Of Silicon news »
Yesterday we looked at 25 Best Original Screenplay contenders and today we turn our attention to Best Adapted Screenplay. The field here isn't as big, boasting 17 total contenders right now, but perhaps after looking over the list you'll think of a couple contenders I may have overlooked. For the time being my top five is set and at this point they really are the most obvious five though I'm sure the title I have at #6 is one many will believe deserves a spot among the top five early contenders for a nomination. Let's take a look at my five and then please share your thoughts in the comments below... 1.) George Clooney and Grant Heslov (Monuments Men) - Clearly my early year favorite is Clooney's Monuments Men. The World War II setting and the talent involved make it too obvious the choice. That said, I plan on reading Robert M. Edsel and »
