Hurt People Hurt People: Neil Labute & Alice Eve On The Intricate Roleplaying Of ‘Some Velvet Morning’
3 May 2013 9:03 AM, PDT | The Playlist | See recent The Playlist news »
Since his award-winning debut feature “In the Company of Men” in 1997, Neil Labute has developed a diverse career that spans writing and directing for both the stage and screen. Depicting unsettling and often cruel relationships between men and women, his work can be difficult to stomach, but there is no denying his unique voice. Over the years, Labute has experimented with directing other people’s work, venturing into the horror (“The Wicker Man”), thriller (“Lakeview Terrace”) and comedy (“Nurse Betty,” “Death at a Funeral”) genres, to varying degrees of critical success. At the same time, he is a prolific playwright, with “The Mercy Seat,” “Fat Pig,” “reasons to be pretty,” and “The Shape of Things,” among others, making theatrical waves. Labute’s latest film, “Some Velvet Morning,” had its world premiere at the 2013 Tribeca Film Festival. Starring (only) Stanley Tucci (“The Hunger Games,” “The Devil Wears Prada”) and Alice Eve (“She's Out Of Your League, »

Tribeca Review: Neil Labute Goes Back To Basics In Spartan, Scintillating 'Some Velvet Morning'
22 April 2013 7:01 AM, PDT | The Playlist | See recent The Playlist news »
When filmmakers find themselves in a rough place, they tend to dial back their productions, usually by necessity, but also as a refresher course in refueling the creative spirit. Playwright Neil Labute has had a rough go of it in his last few big-screen adventures: "Lakeview Terrace" was a half-baked contemporary thriller clearly made to fill the personal coffers, though one could argue it reflected an intriguing take on contemporary race relations in suburban communities. And remaking "Death At A Funeral" nearly shot-for-shot was always going to be a thankless task. The fact that these two films followed the misunderstood-but-still-questionable "Wicker Man" remake seems to point to a creative force in decline, at least onscreen -- Labute remains active in the world of shorts and stage, where his reputation has yet to be sullied. Now Labute returns with "Some Velvet Morning," and it's as stripped-down as a testy night off Broadway. »

Check Out Neil Labute’s Provocative Some Velvet Morning Poster
9 April 2013 2:12 PM, PDT | Vulture | See recent Vulture news »
After a sojourn in studio filmmaking that included movies like Lakeview Terrace and the Stateside remake of Death at a Funeral (as well as, yes, The Wicker Man), director Neil Labute is going back to basics with his new film, Some Velvet Morning. Reminiscent of Labute's earlier, stripped-down films like In the Company of Men, Velvet stars Stanley Tucci as a man who shows up at the house of his mistress (Alice Eve) with the announcement that he's finally left his wife ... only it's four years after he and his mistress last saw each other. It's a little bit awkward, but as the two begin to reconnect, things grow more and more provocative, as hinted at by the movie's sorta-nsfw poster (a Vulture exclusive). Take a gander at the poster below; Velvet premieres at the Tribeca Film Festival later this month.Here you go: »

SXSW 2013 Review: ‘Some Girl(s)’ Shows Narcissism at its Funniest
9 March 2013 6:30 PM, PST | FilmSchoolRejects.com | See recent FilmSchoolRejects news »
Any fan of playwright/screenwrtier/filmmaker Neil Labute‘s honest depictions of cringe-inducing narcissism will be pleased by Some Girl(s). Labute’s last few films – The Wickerman, Death at a Funeral, and Lakeview Terrace – have shown him going outside his comfort zone with varying results. Some Girl(s), which Labute scripted (but didn’t direct) from his play of the same name, marks the theatrical return of the Labute we love. His greatest works often resemble a car crash in motion with the driver smiling through every ding, bone crush, and bump while the victims are left with serious pain. The driver here is simply credited as “Man” and played by Adam Brody. The victims are a few of Man’s ex-girlfriends, all of whom feature distinct personalities and past issues with him. There is the older woman (Emily Watson) he had an affair with, a young girl (Zoe Kazan) he took advantage of, the »

1 March 2013 11:45 AM, PST | Indiewire | See recent Indiewire news »
After some odd directorial decisions of late (the contested, eyebrow-raising remakes of "Death at a Funeral" and "The Wicker Man"), acclaimed playwright and filmmaker Neil Labute has mostly stuck to writing and making short films in the last few years. While we'll have to wait a little bit longer to see his next turn as a director with "This Velvet Morning," Labute adapted his play "Some Girl(s)" for the Daisy von Scherler Mayer-helmed film of the same name, which has it's world premiere at SXSW on March 9th. Read More: Adam Brody, Emily Watson and Kristen Bell in Character Posters for Neil Labute's 'Some Girl(s)' Adam Brody, who between this film and Whit Stillman's "Damsels in Distress" seems to be establishing himself as the go-to leading man of literate indie wordsmiths, stars as a writer who visits all of his exes in a »

Casting Couch: James Marsden Will Antagonize Ron Burgundy, Megan Fox Will Befriend the ‘Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles,’ and More
22 February 2013 1:00 PM, PST | FilmSchoolRejects.com | See recent FilmSchoolRejects news »
What is Casting Couch? It’s your handy one stop destination for news about what all of your favorite and least favorite actors are up to next. Today we’ve got news about Anne Hathaway’s latest excuse to sing and what Adam Sandler’s next excuse to get paid to go on vacation with a beautiful actress will be. When James Marsden first caught international attention, it was as the stone-faced and charisma-free Cyclops in Bryan Singer’s first X-Men movie. People didn’t have much love for him back then. But since then he’s shown in things like Enchanted and Death at a Funeral that he’s not so bad when he’s letting his figurative hair down and getting a little goofy. That’s a good thing, because now we don’t have to meet Deadline’s report that he’s just become the latest name to join the Anchorman 2 cast with »

James Marsden To Play Ron Burgundy's Rival In 'Anchorman 2'
21 February 2013 4:41 PM, PST | The Playlist | See recent The Playlist news »
When you think of comedy, you don't immediately think of the name James Marsden. But the actor, perhaps best known for playing Cyclops in the "X-Men" movies, does have a background of laughter that has included most recently "Bachelorette," a stint on "30 Rock" and a role in "Death At A Funeral" among others. And eagle-eyed fans of "Zoolander" also know that he appeared ever so fleetingly as John Wilkes Booth. But now he's gearing up for what will easily be his biggest comedy role yet, and he'll face off against one of the funniest people out there. Deadline reports that Marsden has joined the growing cast of "Anchorman: The Legend Continues." While exact plot details are being kept secret, Marsden will reportedly play the rival anchor/nemsis to Will Ferrell's Ron Burgundy, which is basically all kinds of awesome. Will it lead to another epic anchorman street fight? Only time will tell. »
