20,000 Leagues Under The Sea Remake Stalled Until 2014

2 hours ago | We Got This Covered | See recent We Got This Covered news »

Uh oh – it looks like David Fincher’s 20,000 Leagues Under The Sea remake is dead in the water for now according to Disney. The film’s production, which was supposed to start shooting in Sydney, Australia next month after a very hefty offer from the Government down under, has been pushed all the way back to 2014 – much to the dismay of an extremely eager Australia.

With Captain David Fincher (The Social Network/Fight Club) reuniting with his first-mate scribe Andrew Kevin Walker (Se7en) to take a crack at Disney’s epic underwater adventure, it’s a shame that casting troubles are to blame for the delay in production. Although there’s been talk hinting Channing Tatum could take the lead as Ned Land, there was also a rumor Fincher wanted Brad Pitt for the exact same role. While Tatum still hasn’t openly declined playing Land, the latter has, and »

Win Passes To The Advance Screening Of Now You See Me In St. Louis

5 hours ago | WeAreMovieGeeks.com | See recent WeAreMovieGeeks.com news »

Four talented magicians mesmerize an international audience with a series of bold and original heists, all the while pursuing a hidden agenda that has the FBI and Interpol scrambling to anticipate their next move in Now You See Me, a visually spectacular blend of astonishing illusions and exhilarating action from director Louis Leterrier (Clash of the Titans).

The Four Horsemen, a magic super‐group led by the charismatic J.Daniel Atlas (Jesse Eisenberg), perform a pair of hightech, high‐profile magic shows, first amazing audiences by remotely robbing a Paris bank while in Las Vegas, and then exposing a white‐collar criminal and funneling his millions into the audience members’ bank accounts, baffling the authorities with their intricately planned capers.

FBI Special Agent Dylan Rhodes (Mark Ruffalo) is determined to make the magicians pay for their crimes—and to stop them before they pull off what promises to be an even more audacious heist. »

Production on David Fincher’s 20,000 Leagues Under The Sea Pushed to 2014

11 hours ago | Collider.com | See recent Collider.com news »

Following the back-to-back productions of The Social Network and The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo, director David Fincher has been taking his time in settling on his next project.  He’s been developing a remake of 20,000 Leagues Under the Sea at Disney for years, and the project finally started to gain traction earlier this year with Fincher courting Brad Pitt as his star.  However, Pitt ultimately passed on the role in favor of David Ayer’s WWII film Fury, leaving Fincher’s 20,000 Leagues without a star or a greenlight. Despite these two crucial facts, we learned last month that Australia had agreed to an enormous tax incentive ($22.5 million) for Fincher to shoot 20,000 Leagues down under, making the remake that much more attractive for Disney.  Now word comes that since the film still doesn’t have a lead actor, potential production has been pushed to 2014.  Hit the jump for more.

Film Review: ‘American Dreams in China’

18 May 2013 5:32 PM, PDT | Variety - Film News | See recent Variety - Film News news »

An aspirational drama about how three deadbeat college chums built a business empire by teaching English, Peter Chan Ho-sun’s “American Dreams in China” is attractively packaged and moderately enjoyable, but nonetheless comes across as ersatz and indulgently retro. On one level, this wry look at entrepreneurial drive and the toll it takes on friendship can be viewed as the Chinese version of “The Social Network.” However, notwithstanding some insight into China’s love-hate sentiments toward the U.S., Peter Chan Ho-sun’s account of the country’s three-decade rags-to-riches history is so obviously drawn from his own coming-of-age in ’80s Hong Kong that the film lacks a contempo pulse.

With new president Xi Jinping’s political slogan “Chinese Dream” becoming a global media catchphrase, some China watchers in the West may pay attention to how the film’s commercial dreams translate Stateside. Local B.O. has been strong so far, »

'Veep'-ish Moments: Stars Reveal D.C. Insiders Think the Show's Spot-On (Video)

16 May 2013 11:26 AM, PDT | The Hollywood Reporter | See recent The Hollywood Reporter news »

Think HBO's Veep is a broad satire on D.C. politics? Think again. Star Tim Simons, who plays White House liaison Jonah Ryan, tells The Hollywood Reporter that Washington insiders have admitted to him that the scathing comedy is frequently spot-on. "We've heard this not just from the vice president's office but from a few different offices: The government employees will go through a day and it's like, 'Man, that was a Veep-ish moment,'" Simons laughs.

Cannes Film Review: ‘The Bling Ring’

16 May 2013 3:30 AM, PDT | Variety - Film News | See recent Variety - Film News news »

When future generations want to understand how we lived at the dawn of the plugged-in, privacy-free, Paris Hilton-ized 21st century, there will likely be few films more instructive than “The Bling Ring.” A spiritual sequel of sorts to “The Social Network,” Sofia Coppola’s fact-based tale of the 2008-09 crime spree by a gang of enterprising SoCal teens targeting the homes of high-profile celebrities reps a return to more pop, accessible filmmaking for the “Lost in Translation” auteur following the austere “Somewhere” (which earned only $1.7 million domestically). Though it lacks the name cast and self-consciously outre style of another recent girls-gone-wild opus, “Spring Breakers,” this lively and fascinating pic should score well with its target hipster demo, delivering solid arthouse numbers for upstart distrib A24, which plans a June release Stateside.

'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, »

Wamg Talks To Eli Roth

What happens to a group of travelers who are in an underground nightclub in Chile when a massive earthquake hits? Hint: Nothing good!

Well, except that it gave me the opportunity to sit down with Eli Roth to talk about his new movie Aftershock, in which he stars, co-wrote, and produced. I would say that’s a pretty darn good outcome! Check it out below.

In the middle of a night of wild partying, a hapless American tourist (Roth) and his friends are suddenly plunged into a living hell when a powerful earthquake rips through the coastal town of Valparaíso, Chile.

What do you think it is about travel that sets a good tone for a film? 

Eli Roth: Well, travel – Everyone has fantasies of traveling. We all want to escape our lives and go somewhere fun. A lot of times we want to go as far away from »

‘Star Wars' Kid Says Online Taunting Made Him Suicidal

10 May 2013 9:10 AM, PDT | Moviefone | See recent Moviefone news »

Ten years ago, a YouTube video called “Star Wars Kid” became one of the most popular memes on the Internet that didn't involve cats. The clip featured a heavyset teenager from Quebec named Ghyslain Raza, swirling around a makeshift lightsaber. But, as we've all suspected, there is a dark side to becoming famous on a platform where complete strangers can ridicule you anonymously. In his first interview since the video made its way online, Raza tells L'actualite that, “People were telling me to commit suicide... I couldn't help but feel worthless, like my life wasn't worth living.” An earlier report by Vice three years ago said that the taunting got to the point where Raza quit school and institutionalized himself due to extreme depression. But things did, eventually, get better. Raza is now the president of a local heritage conservation society where he lives in Canada, and has words of »
