For Adriano Goldman ("Jane Eyre," "Sin Nombre"), it's definitely about the company you keep. The Brazilian director of photography has shot Robert Redford as a former '70s Weather Underground radical on the run in "The Company You Keep," as well as Meryl Streep as the dysfunctional Midwestern matriarch in the upcoming adaptation of Tracy Letts' Pulitzer Prize-winning play, "August: Osage County" (November 8).  In both instances, Goldman has adopted what he calls "sophisticated realism" to get the most out of the political thriller, which is Redford's best movie in years, and the eccentric black comedy that's already attracting Oscar buzz as part of the Weinstein Company's slate of contenders. "Realism is something you can still make bigger than life as opposed to naturalism, which is taking whatever you get from a location and using it," Goldman remarks. "I really like the challenge of making a place look real, like constructing a suburban. »

We'll tackle that headline in order beginning with the Interstellar news. While in New Orleans, filming the upcoming HBO crime series "True Detective" with Woody Harrelson for Sin Nombre director Cary Fukunaga, Matthew McConaughey was asked about being offered a role in Christopher Nolan's Interstellar. Without so much as a clue to his character he said, "I'm confirming," and left it at that. All we know about the character is his name is Cooper and all we know about Interstellar is that it involves time travel and alternate dimensions in a story that sees a group of explorers travel through a wormhole. The script was written by Nolan's brother, Jonathan Nolan, and is based on scientific theories developed by a Kip Thorne, a theoretical physicist, a gravitational physicist and astrophysicist at Caltech. Like Nolan's Inception, the story is said to be "complex and multi-layered". I'm not sure a filming date has been announced, »

From Rory Kennedy's documentary short "The Fence" to Cary Fukunaga's bracing-yet-lyrical "Sin Nombre," the border experience and America's immigration failures have been reliable Sundance staples in recent years, so it was fitting to have Marc Silver and Gael Garcia Bernal's "Who Is Dayani Cristal?" kicking off the 2013 Festival on Thursday (January 17) night.   "Who Is Dayani Cristal?" takes the familiar backdrop and attempts to present it in a complicated way, creating a well-intentioned documentary that makes admirable intellectual sense on paper, but becomes an occasional semiotic nightmare in execution.    On one hand, had this been yet another straight-ahead »

Michelle Monaghan, star of Machine Gun Preacher and Source Code, has a date with Matthew McConaughey and Woody Harrelson. Don’t worry, the HBO network will chaperone. These three high profile stars factor into a similarly high profile new pilot called True Detective. That’s right, this is a pilot for HBO, not a feature film.

HBO has already requested eight episodes of True Detective, which means the idea has gone practically straight to series. That doesn’t happen every day in this tricky TV climate. Deadline reported that Monaghan would be joining the boys on the project which also has a “high concept”.

At it’s core, the crime drama spotlights a 17-year long hunt for a dangerous serial killer in the state of Louisiana. To tell that story, we’ll see events unfold as seen from different perspectives. I don’t know if we’ll see a different »

It’s been clear that we’re experiencing a new Golden Age of television for more than a couple of years now, and refreshingly original storytelling in serialized form doesn’t seem to be going away anytime soon.  One of the more exciting projects on the horizon is HBO’s anthology cop drama True Detective.  HBO recently ordered eight episodes of the series, starring Matthew McConaughey and Woody Harrelson as two detectives who are drawn into the 17-year search for a serial killer in Louisiana.  Cary Fukunaga (Jane Eyre, Sin Nombre) is onboard to helm all eight episodes of season one, and now they’ve found their female lead in Michelle Monaghan.  Hit the jump for more. Per TV Line, Monaghan will play the wife of Harrelson’s character who “makes a hard decision that has long-reaching and devastating consequences.”  The ambitious series makes use of multiple timelines and perspectives, »

You had us at Matthew McConaughey and Woody Harrelson. But toss "Sin Nombre" and "Jane Eyre" helmer Cary Fukunaga in the mix, and a crime series for them to play with? Just tell us when, and we'll be there. Brewing for the past year and picked up by HBO almost a year ago, it looks like "True Detective" is heading toward cameras. Michelle Monaghan is the latest to join for what sounds like a potentially great series on the cable network, who have already gone ahead and ordered up an eight-episode first season. In the style of "The Killing" (albeit, with the promise that it will actually have a resolution), the story will jump back and forth between 1995 and 2012 to follow the story of detectives Rust Cohle (McConaughey) and Martin Hart (Harrelson) who are on the hunt for a serial killer in Louisiana. Monaghan will play Harrelson's wife who "makes »
