Bradley Cooper: 5 Awesome Performances And 5 That Sucked

5 hours ago | Obsessed with Film | See recent Obsessed with Film news »

It seems like just yesterday that Bradley Cooper was chucking his guts up in The Wedding Crashers. Then, his face was on the posters for The Hangover. Most people probably half-recognised his face, but for the most part, The Hangover featured three then-unknowns. Four years and two awful sequels later (let’s be honest, Part III is going nowhere), Bradley Cooper is one of the most sought after actors in Hollywood, not to mention a very deserving Academy-award nominee.

Having all but shook off every bad rom-com and horror film deemed necessary to kickstart his career in feature films, and with the Silver Linings buzz all but subsided, Cooper will be looking to continue his rise in 2013. After laying The Hangover franchise to rest (hopefully), he will be reuniting with Jennifer Lawrence in Susanne Bier’s depression-era drama, Serena, before reuniting with Jennifer Lawrence…again…as well as Silver Linings Playbook »

2014 Oscar Predictions: Best Actress

23 hours ago | Indiewire | See recent Indiewire news »

Indiewire will provide updates of our predictions for the 86th Academy Award nominations through January 16th, 2014, when the nominations are announced. Though it's clearly very early on and we've barely seen any of the contenders, this year's best actress race could very well shape up to a battle of some very esteemed women. A year after best supporting actor race -- for the first time ever in any acting category -- featured 5 previous winners, a slew of women already awarded an Oscar have juicy roles that could put them in the mix again. Previous winners Meryl Streep and Julia Roberts (both for "August: Osage County"), Emma Thompson ("Saving Mr. Banks"), Nicole Kidman ("Grace of Monaco"), Sandra Bullock ("Gravity"), Kate Winslet ("Labor Day"), Cate Blanchett ("Blue Jasmine"), Marion Cotillard ("The Immigrant") and last year's best actress Jennifer Lawrence ("Serena" or "American Hustle") all look like potential nominees, at least on paper. »

Bradley Cooper Is New Model Smart Star

6 May 2013 3:17 AM, PDT | Thompson on Hollywood | See recent Thompson on Hollywood news »

As "Silver Linings Playbook" comes out on DVD, the film that earned Bradley Cooper his first best actor Oscar nomination, well-reviewed "Place Beyond the Pines" is playing around the country, "The Hangover Part III" hits theaters on May 24, and Steven Spielberg has picked as his next movie "American Sniper," which was developed by Cooper's Warner Bros. production company. He'll star as Navy Seal Chris Kyle, an ace sniper who was tragically killed. This actor is clearly doing something right. In February Cooper rejoined David O. Russell for his next film, Abscam 80s drama "American Hustle," set for year-end award-season release from Sony, in which he'll co-star with "Silver Linings" pals Jennifer Lawrence and Robert De Niro, plus "The Fighter" Oscar-winners Christian Bale and Amy Adams, as well as Russell newbies Jeremy Renner, Jack Huston, Louis Ck and Michael Pena. And just to keep things interesting, Cooper has already shot "Serena »

Love Is All You Need Review

5 May 2013 1:37 PM, PDT | We Got This Covered | See recent We Got This Covered news »

Since yielding his 007 mantle to Daniel Craig, Pierce Brosnan, in the tradition of many former A-list leading men given the opportunity (desired or not) to take on smaller roles has wracked up a collection of fine performances. The Matador, Seraphim Falls and The Ghost Writer stand among the best recent examples of Brosnan’s chops and he has now added another to his resume with the more low-key romantic drama Love Is All You Need.

Playing his female foil is Denmark native Trine Dyrholm, who was also one of the leads in last year’s Oscar nominated A Royal Affair. The immediate chemistry the two share stands as one of the film’s strongest elements. The arc at play is certainly a familiar one – a clichéd one even – but sometimes the believable forming of a bond (no pun intended) can elevate even the most well-worn material.

Steven Spielberg's Next Film Is ...

2 May 2013 1:14 PM, PDT | Huffington Post | See recent Huffington Post news »

Steven Spielberg has found his next film. As first reported by THR, Spielberg will direct an adaptation of Chris Kyle's autobiography, "American Sniper: The Autobiography of the Most Lethal Sniper in U.S. Military History." Bradley Cooper will star and produce; Cooper's involvement was first reported by THR back in May of last year.

For Spielberg, "American Sniper" would replace the recently delayed "Robopocalypse" on his schedule. That film, a blockbuster science-fiction extravaganza that was set to star Chris Hemsworth and Anne Hathaway, was set for release on April 25, 2014. Spielberg, however, put brakes on the project back in January, owing to a script that needed work.

"We found that the film was costing a lot of money and I found a better way to tell the story more economically but also much more personally," Spielberg said to EW.com. "I found the personal way into 'Robopocalypse,' and »

Susanne Bier: 'You can't be ashamed of big emotions if you make movies'

13 April 2013 10:53 PM, PDT | The Guardian - Film News | See recent The Guardian - Film News news »

The film-maker on being unashamedly romantic, her tomboy upbringing and why she's proud to be Danish

A member of the Danish Dogme group, Susanne Bier received her first Oscar nomination for her 2006 film, After the Wedding. She went on to make Things We Lost in the Fire with Halle Berry and Benicio del Toro. But it was In a Better World that established Bier as an international star. The film won both a Golden Globe and an Oscar for best foreign language film in 2011.

Isn't it daring to make a comedy, Love is All You Need, where the lead character is in recovery from breast cancer?

Yes, this movie is about a woman who consistently chooses to see things in a light and cheerful manner. There is an undercurrent of fear and sadness but, because she is not prepared to let it come to the surface, the movie won't let it happen. »

Jane Got A Gun’s Jude Law Gets Replaced With Bradley Cooper

9 April 2013 7:12 PM, PDT | Filmofilia | See recent Filmofilia news »

Bradley Cooper is stepping in to save the day and replace Jude Law in Gavin O’Connor‘s western, Jane Got a Gun. Jude Law dropped out of the project last month, just one day after original director Lynne Ramsay abruptly left the project on the first day of shooting, because he had joined the project specifically to work with her. Jude Law himself was a last-minute replacement, boarding the project last month to take over for Michael Fassbender. Written by Brian Duffield, the story follows Jane (Natalie Portman), a young wife whose husband comes home riddled with bullet wounds, clinging on to dear life. She seeks...

Bradley Cooper replaces Jude Law in Jane Got a Gun

8 April 2013 8:00 AM, PDT | HeyUGuys.co.uk | See recent HeyUGuys news »

Jane Got a Gun has had a rough time getting off the ground, but it looks like things are finally starting to fall back into place.

Original director, Lynne Ramsay (We Need to Talk About Kevin), abruptly exited the project as production began, and we’re still yet to discover solid reasoning for the change in plans.

The cast was initially led by Natalie Portman, Joel Edgerton, Jude Law, and Rodrigo Santoro, with Portman also producing alongside Scott Steindorff, Terry Dougas, and Aleen Keshishian.

When Ramsay exited, the producers managed to keep the cast and crew together, determined to bring a replacement director on board. And that happened very quickly, with Gavin O’Connor (Warrior) signing on within a matter of days.

But then Jude Law decided to exit the production, having wanted to work with Ramsay on Jane Got a Gun. And since then, we’ve not heard anything »

Global Village: Industry Highlights from Around the World

Russia

What’s a religious film fan to do? In mid-March, the Russian Orthodox Church urged followers to give up social media for Lent. So some folks were torn by the news that Tom Cruise had become the first Hollywood star to set up a page on popular Russian social network Vk. But the site, set up by entrepreneur Pavel Durov, is Ok: It has more than 100 million active users, and 46 million average daily users. Russia’s box office was up 10% last year, at $1.2 billion, with the Hollywood studios nabbing a 76% share. Cruise’s “Oblivion” will be released in Russia April 11, before its April 19 U.S. bow.

Susanne Bier To Explore ‘This Beautiful Life’

2 April 2013 10:30 AM, PDT | The Hollywood News | See recent The Hollywood News news »

Susanne Bier is quite simply the greatest female director to have ever walked the planet, in fact she’s probably in my Top 10 Directors Of All Time list. With films such as Open Hearts, After The Wedding and In A Better World under her belt any project Bier takes on is one that deserves great attention. Bier will direct an adaptation of the novel This Beautiful Life by the author Helen Schulman. The film will take on one of Bier’s most explored themes of a family on the verge of destruction. This time that destruction takes the form of a scandalous video that goes viral after being sent to 15 year old son of the family.

Killer Films and Glass Elevator Media are producing the film along with some private investors. Schulman will adapt her own book into screenplay form. President of Killer Films, Pam Koffler, had this to say »

Susanne Bier To Direct Adaptation Of Helen Schulman's Best-Selling 'This Beautiful Life'

2 April 2013 9:49 AM, PDT | The Playlist | See recent The Playlist news »

We always like when a director changes course, tackles different kinds of material and stays unpredictable, and Susanne Bier is doing just that. This helmer's Italian romantic trifle, "Love Is All You Need," heads to theaters later this month, she's got the Depression era drama "Serena" starring Jennifer Lawrence and Bradley Cooper in the can and ready (presumably) for a festival appearance some time in 2013 and next up? How about a contemporary domestic drama about life in the digital age? Killer Films and Glass Elevator Media announced today they are producing a big screen adaptation of Helen Schulman's "This Beautiful Life" with Bier attached to direct. The author herself will pen the screenplay about a salacious video sent to Jake, a tenth grader, that goes viral, putting his family in the midst of a scandal. Here's the Amazon synopsis:  When fifteen-year-old Jake Bergamot receives—and then forwards to a »

Early 2014 Oscar Predictions: First Best Actor Line-Up

13 March 2013 10:30 AM, PDT | Rope of Silicon | See recent Rope Of Silicon news »

I have never before attempted to predict an award season this early and categories such as Best Picture and Director are actually quite easy when you compare to trying to predict the acting categories. An actor's performance can earn a nomination without the film itself getting a push in the major categories. For example, many asked why I hadn't included films such as Ain't Them Bodies Saints in my 40 film Oscar preview. Well, IFC isn't going to have the budget to push David Lowery's film in all the categories, but the much talked about performances from Rooney Mara and Casey Affleck may be able to get enough outside support to be able to speak for themselves. Then you have to begin to consider one performance over another. Take Tom Hanks for example. He plays Walt Disney in Saving Mr. Banks and the title character in Paul Greengrass' Captain Phillips. »

Sony Sets Christmas Release Date for David O. Russell’s Abscam Film Starring Christian Bale, Bradley Cooper, and Jennifer Lawrence

12 March 2013 1:18 PM, PDT | Collider.com | See recent Collider.com news »

Sony Pictures has given Silver Linings Playbook director David O. Russell’s next film a prime awards season release date later this year.  The untitled project (formerly known as American Bullshit) will hit theaters in limited release on December 13th before going wide on Christmas Day.  The pic is based on a real-life undercover sting operation called Abscam, which was set up in the 1980s by a con artist working for the FBI who rooted out corruption in Congress. The cast reads like a “Best Of” from Russell’s filmography, as Bradley Cooper and Christian Bale are set in the leads with Amy Adams, Jennifer Lawrence, Louis C.K., Jeremy Renner, and Alessandro Nivola (Face/Off) rounding out the ensemble.  Hit the jump for more. Russell’s Abscam project will undoubtedly be a player in this year’s awards race, and marks one of two Cooper/Lawrence films slated for release »
