Cannes Film Review: ‘The Last Days on Mars’
20 May 2013 7:06 PM, PDT | Variety - Film News | See recent Variety - Film News news »
Considerable talent and resources have clearly been marshaled in service of “The Last Days on Mars,” which, in achieving a reasonably plausible low-budget vision of the future, announces itself as a first feature of considerable ambition for Irish helmer Ruairi Robinson. Yet while it earns high marks for Jon Henson’s production design, this murkily derivative sci-fi-horror entry sets its sights disappointingly low in terms of story and ideas, leaving the viewer’s sense of awe unstirred as a solid cast, toplined by Liev Schreiber, trudges its way through what basically amounts to “Red Planet of the Dead.”
Four years ago, Duncan Jones’ “Moon” demonstrated what was possible, creatively and commercially, in the realm of minimalist speculative fiction. Apart from serving its purpose as a calling card for Robinson and his crew, “The Last Days on Mars” seems unlikely to occupy a place of similar distinction. At a time when »

Top 10 games that should be movies – and their ideal directors
15 May 2013 7:40 AM, PDT | The Guardian - Film News | See recent The Guardian - Film News news »
John Carpenter says he'd love to adapt the survival horror title – and surely there's room for Skyrim, Far Cry or Uncharted
"I would love to make Dead Space, I'll tell you that right now," said John Carpenter last week, adding the celebrated director, expert moustache cultivator and avid gamer to the the swelling ranks of reputable film-makers (ie those whose names aren't spelled "Paul Ws Anderson" or "Uwe Boll") who recognise games as another viable well of narrative inspiration – equal in richness, if not yet in popular reputation, to any other artform.
And it's difficult to envisage a director better suited or more qualified to interpret the dank corridors and squelchy, shambling horrors of the Usg Ishimura. The Thing, The Fog and Halloween clearly influenced Visceral's icky franchise, and Carpenter's ideas feeding back into a mythology they helped create gives a pleasing sense of symmetry. His skill with suspense and »

'The Great Gatsby' soundtrack and the rich history of the rock star composer
11 May 2013 4:24 PM, PDT | EW.com - PopWatch | See recent EW.com - PopWatch news »
Much has been made of Jay-z’s involvement with Baz Lurhmann’s epic adaptation of The Great Gatsby. The music mogul has never before lent his name or his talents to a project in this way before (we’re not counting his “inspired by” American Gangster album). Despite the hype, this soundtrack collaboration is fundamentally safe (if seemingly off to a fast start on the charts.). Not only is The Great Gatsby a tent-pole blockbuster with an above-the-title director and major A-list talent, it’s a grandiose celebration of New York jazz age glamour and excess — which in some ways, »

Interview: Kaya Scodelario On 'Emanuel & The Truth About Fishes,' Sean Durkin's 'Southcliffe' & Her Return To 'Skins'
7 May 2013 8:01 AM, PDT | The Playlist | See recent The Playlist news »
Every year (at least in the last few), it seems there's at least one actress who, while already on many radars, comes to Sundance with a performance that launches her to true stardom. Carey Mulligan, Felicity Jones, Jennifer Lawrence, Elizabeth Olsen, Mia Wasikowska and Quvenzhane Wallis all went to Park City as complete or relative unknowns, and left at the top of casting wish-lists. This year, perhaps the most notable Sundance starlet to break out was Kaya Scodelario. Despite only being 21, the actress has been a familiar face on screen for a while now, thanks to a small role in "Moon," and more importantly, being the only actor to bridge the first two generations of cult UK teen series "Skins." But after several promising performances over the last few years, most notably in Andrea Arnold's "Wuthering Heights," she's truly blown up in 2012, thanks in part to her turn in »

Laggies Swaps Anne Hathaway For Keira Knightley
6 May 2013 5:36 PM, PDT | We Got This Covered | See recent We Got This Covered news »
It’s being reported that director Lynn Shelton is courting Keira Knightley to replace Oscar-winner Anne Hathaway in her upcoming comedy Laggies, in what would be third actress cast for the same role.
Laggies tells the story of a 28 year old woman stuck in perpetual adulthood, who lies to her boyfriend when he proposes marriage to her. Instead of going on a retreat as she tells him, she spends the week hanging out with a group of teenage friends.
Originally, Shelton had intended to cast actress Rebecca Hall (The Town, Iron Man 3) in the lead role, but Hall exited the project to star in Wally Pfister’s directorial debut Transcendence opposite Johnny Depp. It was at that point that Shelton cast Anne Hathaway, fresh off the heels of her Oscar win for Les Miserables. Unfortunately for Shelton, it looks like Hathaway has bowed out to star in Christopher Nolan »

50 Greatest British Directors Who Ever Lived
23 April 2013 3:52 AM, PDT | Obsessed with Film | See recent Obsessed with Film news »
In celebration of dragon slaying, British patron saint, and all around great guy, Saint George, we figured that the best way to mark the occasion of his death than by celebrating immortality through film and listing not 2, not 6 but 50 of the greatest British directors who ever lived. For extra punch, the day is also known as Shakespeare Day, marking the date that the world lost the Bard’s artistic genius, and there’s a certain pride you can’t blame the Brits for when it comes to this day.
So what better way to mark the occasion than to herald those British film-makers who have made a difference to cinema’s history, past or present? This year will mark the second British Film Registry poll, which will ask film fans and critics to vote for the British films and talents who deserve to be preserved in the Bfr vault, and »

Trailers often reveal too much about a movie. But what happens when they don't?
21 April 2013 10:00 AM, PDT | EW.com - PopWatch | See recent EW.com - PopWatch news »
“Well, now I feel like I’ve seen the whole movie,” is an increasingly common complaint about movie trailers. Studios’ marketing strategy is frequently to lure viewers into the theater with a peek at a movie’s biggest fight sequence or most compelling twist, a promise of what people will see if they buy a ticket. But there are some trailers in recent years that have mastered the art of creating a sense of mystery and avoiding spoiling key surprise moments.

‘Oblivion’ Reviews: Does Tom Cruise Have A Hit?
20 April 2013 11:41 AM, PDT | HollywoodLife | See recent HollywoodLife news »
Tom Cruise is back as an epic action hero for the sci-fi thriller ‘Oblivion,’ which opened in theaters on April 19. But did Tomcat hit the mark with his new flick? Read below to see the reviews!
Tom Cruise’s latest action movie, the sci-fi-flavored Oblivion — out on April 19 — follows Tom through a futuristic, post-apocalyptic Earth. Drama ensues when his character, who has been assigned to extract Earth’s last resources, is forced to question the nature of his own mission. Oblivion promises to take viewers to another world, full of intrigue and action. But did it actually hit the mark? Some reviewers think Tom’s newest movie is a total flop, while others have called it an “adventure to remember” (but mostly, the reviews are not good). You’ll just have to read the reviews and decide for yourself!

10 Original Sci-Fi Movies To Enjoy This Weekend
19 April 2013 12:00 PM, PDT | MTV Movies Blog | See recent MTV Movies Blog news »
This weekend, "Oblivion" starring Tom Cruise opens in theaters across the U.S. Some critics are giving the movie, which has otherwise been lukewarmly received, the benefit of the doubt for being the rare sci-fi movie that isn't based on a book or movie.
While there is something to be said about the lack of sci-fi movie in theaters these days, there are much better examples of the genre from the past 10 years that may have slipped under your radar. Check out a sample below.
"Primer"
This one might actually count as two or three movies because that's how many time you'll have to watch it to come even close to understand Shane Carruth's labyrinth of a time travel plot. Plus, a viewing of "Primer" will get you in the right frame of mind to take in Carruth's latest film, the terrific "Upstream Color."

Oblivion: a spoiler-filled exploration
12 April 2013 9:59 AM, PDT | Den of Geek | See recent Den of Geek news »
Feature Ryan Lambie 15 Apr 2013 - 06:03
Is Oblivion as empty as its harsher critics suggest, or is there something more subversive within it? Here's Ryan's spoiler-filled view...
Note: this article contains spoilers from Oblivion from the outset.
Reviews for Oblivion have ranged from enthusiastic to dismissive so far, with some critics expressing a surprising amount of outright irritation towards Joseph Kosinski’s latest film. Lifeless, derivative and lugubrious have been a few of the words used to describe it, while movies including Wall-e, Moon and 2001: A Space Odyssey have been repeatedly cited as Oblivion’s manifold points of reference.
Without getting too far into an impassioned defence of Kosinski’s film (for what it’s worth, you can read this site’s verdict on Oblivion here), it does seem as though the accusations that Oblivion is an exercise in style over substance may be slightly wide of the mark. »

Legendary Pictures' CEO on the World Of Warcraft movie

News Glen Chapman 11 Apr 2013 - 06:58
The Warcraft movie continues to press ahead with Duncan Jones at the helm. Here's the latest on it...
The long in gestation World Of Warcraft movie, which was originally being developed by Sam Raimi, landed in the hands of Duncan Jones earlier this year, as things suddenly looked like they were moving forward. It'll be Jones' third feature, following the terrific duo of Source Code and particularly Moon, and he seems an excellent fit for the material.
In a recent interview the CEO of Legendary Pictures, Thomas Tull, has recently been chatting about the adaptation and here's what he had to say to Collider. “I think first of all is to lose the fact that it’s a video game movie and just concentrate on do you have a story that’s worth telling? Because if you look back to the 80s, comic book »

Legendary Pictures CEO Thomas Tull Talks Duncan Jones’ World Of Warcraft Movie, and Other Future Projects
10 April 2013 11:19 AM, PDT | Collider.com | See recent Collider.com news »
Will there ever be a great movie based on a video game?* I have my doubts. The problem is two-fold: if you stray too far from the material, fans get upset. If you're too faithful, then you've basically recreated the game except the interactive aspect has been removed. But it's important to keep in mind that most of the videogame movies we've seen so far are protagonist-based: Mario, Lara Croft, the Prince of Persia, etc. And then there are movies like Silent Hill and Wing Commander that just aren't very good. But what if you took a talented director like Duncan Jones (Moon) and let him build a story out of a gigantic video game world? Legendary Pictures plans to do just that by having him adapt World of Warcraft. Steve recently interviewed Legendary Pictures CEO Thomas Tull, who explained how WoW is going to be a successful video game movie. »

'Oblivion' review: Tom Cruise roams post-apocalyptic Earth
9 April 2013 4:00 PM, PDT | Digital Spy | See recent Digital Spy - Movie News news »
Director: Joseph Kosinski; Screenwriters: Joseph Kosinski, Karl Gajdusek, Michael Arndt; Starring: Tom Cruise, Morgan Freeman, Olga Kurylenko, Andrea Riseborough, Nikolaj Coster-Waldau; Running time: 126 mins; Certificate: 12A
Tron: Legacy director Joseph Kosinski maroons Tom Cruise on a post-apocalyptic Earth in his new science fiction epic Oblivion. Like his directorial debut this latest offering is a dazzling show of sound and vision, but could leave you with big question marks when it comes to substance.
Cruise plays Jack Harper, a drone repairman stationed high above the surface with Andrea Riseborough's sky tower controller Victoria. He makes regular trips below to maintain the robots, used to pull the last remaining resources and shoot down invaders dubbed 'Scavs'.
Years previously, aliens blasted the moon to pieces, causing chaos on Earth and a war that ended in nuclear obliteration. The survivors have found a new home on a Jupiter moon, and Jack and Victoria »

Director Wes Ball revealed via Twitter that he has cast Kaya Scodelario as Teresa in the feature film adaptation of the dystopian novel The Maze Runner. This looks to be Scodelario's first big film role. Prior to this she's had small roles in Moon and Wrath of the Titans.

I like the concept of the story; this has the potential to be a thrilling movie. Here's a more detailed description of the book.
