Jack the Giant Slayer: height of nonsense?
23 November 2012 7:16 AM, PST | The Guardian - Film News | See recent The Guardian - Film News news »
Bryan Singer is back with a film that borrows liberally from the Jack and the Beanstalk myth. But do we need an epic fantasy about the provenance of folktales?
Reading this on mobile? Click here to view trailer
How wonderful it is to be a British actor in this post-Lord of the Rings and Harry Potter era. Bryan Singer's Jack the Giant Slayer (previously known as Jack the Giant Killer) is the kind of movie that even 15 years ago would have had some swaggering Hollywood A-lister parachuted into the lead, complete with incongruous accent and La swagger. Keanu Reeves, perhaps, or if we were really unlucky one of the lesser Baldwins.
In the wake of the aforementioned fantasy blockbusters, it's fairly obvious to anyone with half a brain that Us audiences quite like their fantasy epics served up with British accents. Jack the Giant Slayer, the latest trailer for »

2013 Sundance Film Festival Predictions: David M. Rosenthal’s A Single Shot
19 November 2012 7:30 AM, PST | ioncinema | See recent ioncinema news »
Gone are the days of a mangled production history – A Single Shot must have started and stopped a couple of times, switched casts before helmer David M. Rosenthal (Janie Jones) along with thesps Sam Rockwell, William H. Macy, Melissa Leo, Jeffrey Wright, Jason Isaacs, Kelly Reilly, Joe Anderson and Ophelia Lovibond were lassoed in March of this year. The book to film adaptation of Matthew F. Jones’s novel – a crime thriller filmed in Vancouver comes equipped with Cinematographer Eduard Grau (A Single Man), Composer Atli Örvarsson (The Burning Plain) , Production Designer David Brisbin (In the Cut), and Editor Dan Robinson (Daniel Mulloy’s short film filmography).
Gist: The tragic death of a beautiful young girl starts a tense and atmospheric game of cat and mouse between hunter John Moon and the hardened backwater criminals out for his blood.

Nicholas Hoult is fast becoming and young actor on the rise throughout Hollywood. Following acclaimed roles in The Weather Man and A Single Man, he found himself thrust into the mainstream with the excellent X-men: First Class and (unfortunately) Clash Of The Titans.

GayFace: When Straight Actors Go Gay
19 October 2012 9:55 AM, PDT | AfterEllen.com | See recent AfterEllen.com news »
Tags: The SlopeDisposable Loversmoviesmovies commentaryIMDb
After two seasons of working on a webseries called The Slope, I’m onto my first feature film. So far I’ve learnt that making a film is a lot like making a webseries, only it takes several years longer, costs 100 thousand times more and every time you have an idea you have to run it by 20 people until you eventually decide to cut it all together.
Short content for the web is especially fun because it has that instant gratification that comes with sharing content with an audience so quickly. A film, not so much. That’s why I thought that blogging for AfterEllen.com about the experience would be a natural solution to this creative constipation.
The film is called Disposable Lovers. It’s a gay Annie Hall that picks up where The Slope left off, with my character rebounding from the heartbreak of a lifetime. »

‘Jack the Giant Killer’ Gets a New ‘Slayer’ Title and Release Date
18 October 2012 9:35 AM, PDT | ScreenRant.com | See recent Screen Rant news »
Bryan Singer’s fairy tale re-telling Jack the Giant Killer made our original list for Most Anticipated Movies of 2012, thanks in part to the involvement of the X-Men director – not to mention, a fun teaser trailer hinting at an action-packed fantasy adventure boasting a solid cast headed by Nicholas Hoult (A Single Man, X-Men: First Class).
However, when David Dobkin’s Arthur & Lancelot hit a snag during pre-production, Warner Bros. decided to push Jack back to March 2013 (to replace Arthur as the studio’s big release that month). Warner Bros. is expected to re-initiate the marketing for Singer’s film in the near future, possibly attaching a new trailer with The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey this December.
In the meantime, the studio has announced that Jack the Giant Killer is now going under the ...

Top 100 Greatest Gay Movies

Brace yourselves. This list of the Top 100 Greatest Gay Movies is probably going to generate some howls of protest thanks to a rather major upset in the rankings. Frankly, one that surprised the hell out of us here at AfterElton.
But before we get to that, an introduction. A few weeks ago we asked AfterElton readers to submit up to ten of their favorite films by write-in vote. We conducted a similar poll several years ago, but a lot has happened culturally since then, and a number of worthy movies of gay interest have been released. We wanted to see how your list of favorites had changed.
We also wanted to expand our list to 100 from the top 50 we had done previously. We figured there were finally enough quality gay films to justify the expansion. And we wanted to break out gay documentaries onto their own list (You'll find the »

Michael Pitt Goes Period Again for Mary Pickford Film ‘The First’; Claudia Lee Lands ‘Kick-Ass 2’
30 August 2012 1:52 PM, PDT | The Film Stage | See recent The Film Stage news »
Like the great John Slattery before him, Michael Pitt has sort of established himself as a man of period productions. There was Boardwalk Empire, we have You Can’t Win to look forward to, and he’s now going back to the old days of Hollywood. The old, old days.
Per Deadline’s word, it’s been announced that Pitt will co-star in The First, a recently-developed biopic of silent film star Mary Pickford; the talent is locked to play her first husband, Owen Moore. Although previous reports had named Lily Rabe (All Good Things, American Horror Story) as director Jennifer DeLia‘s main star, it’s since been announced that Ryan Simpkins (A Single Man) will also play the icon — only, in her younger years. (Flashback scenes, I’d wager.) It’s a fine pair of choices, with Pitt, in particular, standing out. Much as his early work would »

Sally Bowles' Father.
26 August 2012 4:00 PM, PDT | FilmExperience | See recent FilmExperience news »
Inspired by his experiences as a young man in 1930s Germany, author Christopher Isherwood (who was born on a day like today in 1904) created Sally Bowles as a symbol of the joyful decadence of the era. Sally first appeared in a novella carrying her name and then appeared once more in Goodbye Berlin, Isherwood's most famous work. Although Isherwood created many other memorable characters, (he wrote A Single Man) Sally remains the most iconic of his creations, having won awards and accolades for actresses who played her like Julie Harris (who won her first Tony playing her) and most famously Liza Minnelli who brought her to life in the musical Cabaret.
Why not celebrate Isherwood by rewatching Bob Fosse's masterpiece? Who are your favorite Isherwood characters? Which of his stories would you like to see as a movie? »

Weekend Preview: 'Side by Side' & 'The Awakening' Best Bets Over Divisive 'Sparkle,' 'Cosmopolis' and 'Robot & Frank'
16 August 2012 12:26 PM, PDT | Thompson on Hollywood | See recent Thompson on Hollywood news »
There's no shortage of films opening this weekend, but many will be disappointments if you go in with high expectations. The safest bet is Chris Kenneally's doc "Side by Side," which is both a treat for film buffs and a primer for anyone looking to get behind a camera in today's fast-changing digital landscape. Also getting strong reviews is Craig Zobel's Sundance entry "Compliance," which is suitably disturbing given the true story behind it, but its real-life grittiness is undermined by casting an actress who looks like a stripper to play a small town teenage girl. "The Awakening," while it certainly has its flaws, marks a cinematically satisfying debut from director Nick Murphy. Starring Rebecca Hall and the "The Wire"'s Dominic West, the film is gorgeously lensed (on 35mm) in stunning texturaly period settings by Eduard Grau ("A Single Man"). David Cronenberg's "Cosmopolis" is a »

She Ain’t Afraid ‘a No Ghosts: Rebecca Hall’s Deadening Vehicle a Snoozer
UK director Nick Murphy, previously known for his dabbling in television, snags Rebecca Hall for his film debut, The Awakening, a gothic ghost story set between the two World Wars. Unfortunately, the film’s tagline, “Sometimes dead does not mean gone,” potentially refers to its overall delivery, and sometimes a theatrical release does not equate to noteworthy.
Hoax exposer and ghost debunker Florence Cathcart (Rebecca Hall) wiles her days away crusading against tricking con artists claiming to speak to the dead. She recently lost her fiancé in the trenches of World War I, and some of her motivation stems from proving to herself that she will never be able to correspond with her lost love from the other side. On one gloomy day, she’s visited by a handsome stranger (Dominic West), who has read her national bestseller, »

Now that Bret Easton Ellis has conceded that he wasn’t chosen to write the screen adaptation to Fifty Shades of Grey, you may have thought that his hyperactive tweets about E L James’ best-seller, the upcoming movie, his casting thoughts, his first choice for director, more of his casting thoughts, would finally subside. But Ellis has not gone quietly. On Wednesday, he followed up his announcement that the film’s producers were no longer considering him by provoking fans with a string of tweets that claimed Matt Bomer could never be cast as Christian Grey, the controlling sexual dynamo »

Soundtrack Review: Alfred Hitchcock's The Lodger by Nitin Sawhney

Simon Columb reviews Nitin Sawhney's new soundtrack for the silent Alfred Hitchcock classic The Lodger...
Nitin Sawhney has become a sought-after film composer through successful scores for Nike adverts and BBC's Human Planet TV series. This summer, in conjunction with Network Releasing and the BFI, Sawhney has composed a new score for Alfred Hitchcock's 1926 silent film The Lodger: A Story of the London Fog. I cannot help but smile at the apt timing of this release during the summer whereby sun is the last weather we Londoners are expecting - fog is much more likely. In addition to this, the film stars Ivor Novello as a man suspected of being the serial killer known as (how perfect is this in 2012...) 'The Avenger'. The film harks back to Hitchcock's roots in German Expressionism as he uses angular shots and reflects the mental states of the characters in the arrangement »
