Fleming On Cannes: Can Sizzle Reels Make Sizzling Deals This Year?
14 May 2013 12:35 PM, PDT | Deadline New York | See recent Deadline New York news »
Cannes: Below I’ve compiled this year’s list of what Cannes films are most often being mentioned by potential buyers. But already there’s been a bit of action in the marketplace, with Warner Bros acquiring domestic on the Ryan Gosling-directed How To Catch A Monster. Sellers feel a good appetite for deal-making is in the air. “This has been the busiest month we’ve had going into a Cannes Film Festival. The frenetic activity has never been this intense,” said Roeg Sutherland, who runs CAA’s independent film operation with Micah Green. “It’s not that a lot of new companies are jumping in like they did last year. But we’re seeing those companies coming back here with good slates, which is the healthiest thing for everybody.” I can tell you that sellers this year are cautiously optimistic this Cannes market will be closer to 2011′s »

FilmNation: Art, Commerce and Staying Alive
13 May 2013 8:00 AM, PDT | Variety - Film News | See recent Variety - Film News news »
Five years ago, Glen Basner and Steven Samuels took a leap of faith and started sales company FilmNation as the world’s economy went into a nosedive.
“It was a terrible time to start,” Samuels admits. “Everyone was in a preserve-and- protect mode and wanted to get out of their obligations. The silver lining is that we wound up revisiting all aspects of our (business) plans.”
Basner agrees, emphasizing that FilmNation needed to be flexible to get past the past — mainly by backing a few less-than-obvious projects rather than the panic approach of going for volume.
We started to operate in different ways that made better sense for the new world order,” he says. “We were focused on having a diversified slate of films — a mixture of commercial wide-release films like ‘Sanctum’ and specialty films such as ‘The King’s Speech.’”
In the five years since FilmNation debuted, the movie business has undergone deep changes, »

Sundance London 2013 Review - Upstream Colour (2013)
8 May 2013 10:59 AM, PDT | Flickeringmyth | See recent Flickeringmyth news »
Upstream Colour, 2013.
Directed by Shane Carruth.
Starring Shane Carruth, Amy Seimetz and Andrew Sensenig.
Synopsis:
It's about, um...the loss of identiy and, er...substance addiction and pig farming and sound recording and astral planes and an interconnectedness of humanity beyond anything you could ever imagine and...and...anything you want it to be!
.
Shane Carruth made Primer back in 2001, with post-production taking an enormous amount of time. It eventually debuted at the Sundance Film Festival in 2004, becoming one of that year's standout films. It's a brilliantly constructed mess, a story about time travel that reflects its disorientating nature. Carruth's aim was to convey how confusing time travel would be in practicality. As a result, Primer needs at least five back-to-back viewings before any sense can be made of it.
Nine years it takes for Carruth to make Upstream Colour, only his second feature film. In the meantime, another project was dashed, »

13 Hollywood Loopers
6 May 2013 9:00 AM, PDT | NextMovie | See recent NextMovie news »
The visual effects department had to do a pretty bang-up job to make Joseph Gordon-Levitt look even remotely similar to a young yippee ki-yaying mother-f---er Bruce Willis in Rian Johnson's time-hopping "Looper," but since Hollywood's baddest, baldest ass-kicker was blessed with three daughters and no sons in real life, there wasn't much of a choice. Sure, all that pain and suffering ultimately paid off, but there are some people who've got it way, way easier.
For fellow action hero Will Smith, for example, his prime mini-me is his own son Jaden who doesn't need a stitch of prosthesis to pull it off because, you know, doy. The two star as, surprise surprise, father and son in M. Night Shyamalan's upcoming sci-fi thriller "After Earth," and we swear that the older Fresh Prince Jr. gets, the more of that Big Willie Style he inherits.

Star Trek 3: 5 Awesome Directors Who Could Take The Helm From J.J. Abrams
3 May 2013 7:38 AM, PDT | Obsessed with Film | See recent Obsessed with Film news »
Jj Abrams is a busy man. It’s a wonder this man has time to do the little things like eat and breathe given the fact his schedule is loaded between now and forever. The recently announced director of Star Wars Episode 7 is about to see his latest movie released, the much hyped Star Trek: Into Darkness. Trekkies everywhere have almost universally loved the rebooted original and were worried that Abrams work on Star Wars may hinder his future involvement in Star Trek. He has recently said that his taking up the director’s chair for a third Star Trek is “a possibility”, which is pretty non-committal and understandably so for a man who can’t possibly know what day of the week it is.
If it were the case that Abrams could not make it work to return to Star Trek, it would be a sad day for Trekkies all across the universe. »

"Dads leave, you don’t have to be such a pussy about it." – Tony Stark, 'Iron Man Three'
Greetings from the apocalypse! Free Comics? An "Iron Man" sequel that doesn't suck? Genre festivals, eccentric painter docs and serial killer biopics? Have I been irradiated and gone to heaven? Nope, it's all happening man, it's all happening …
Friday, May 3
Pow! In Theaters
As a raving fan of Shane Black and Robert Downey Jr.'s first collab, the neo noir comedy "Kiss Kiss Bang Bang," I had hoped that this director/star combo would hit it out of the park with "Iron Man Three." Well, frankly, Shane hit it out of the park and into the stratosphere, mesosphere, ionosphere, etc. Pulpy, groovy, bang-up fun, this is the best cinematic iteration of ol' shellhead yet, and while Joss Whedon got the quipy part right in "Marvel's The Avengers," this one perfectly balances »

The Flickering Myth Reaction to the Die Hardest Rumour
2 May 2013 11:25 PM, PDT | Flickeringmyth | See recent Flickeringmyth news »
The Flickering Myth writing staff look at the news of a possible sixth Die Hard movie....
In 1988, Bruce Willis starred in a movie that made him a bonafide blockbuster action star. The fearless cop John McClane took down a group of terrorists and the evil Hans Gruber by himself in John McTiernan's Die Hard - one of the best action movies ever made.
The film spawned a sequel, Die Hard 2: Die Harder, a couple of years later and then another sequel in 1995 entitled Die Hard with a Vengeance. As an interesting side note, Die Hard with a Vengeance was originally its own movie called Simon Says and John McClane was added at a later date to make it the third movie.
The trilogy was labelled a success and has become a firm favourite among action fans. In 2007, the news of a fourth movie, Live Free or Die Hard (a. »
