NBC’s Renate Radford Moves to Jason Winer’s Shingle
12 June 2013 11:00 AM, PDT | Variety - TV News | See recent Variety - TV News news »
NBC development exec Renate Radford is leaving the Peacock after more than a decade to oversee development for Jason Winer’s 20th Century Fox TV-based Small Dog Picture Co.
Winer (pictured) is among the most sought-after TV helmer-producers. Radford’s hire underscores his intent to field his own projects through his overall deal with 20th TV. Winer made his name as a helmer with the “Modern Family” pilot, which earned him an Emmy nom and Directors Guild Award win.
Winer has since directed the pilots for ABC’s “Don’t Trust the B in Apt. 23,” NBC’s “1600 Penn” and the upcoming CBS laffer “The Crazy Ones.” He also directed the 2011 feature redo of “Arthur” starring Russell Brand.
Radford has been a comedy development exec at NBC and its studio arm since 2003. She most recently helped shepherd Peacock comedies including “Go On,” “Animal Practice” and “Best Friends Forever.”

Rory Kinnear to replace Matt Smith in Doctor Who?
9 June 2013 11:10 PM, PDT | Flickeringmyth | See recent Flickeringmyth news »
According to the British newspaper The Telegraph, the BBC has made an offer to Rory Kinnear to replace Matt Smith as the next incarnation of the Time Lord in the long-running sci-fi series Doctor Who. According to The Telegraph's source, Kinner - who portrayed MI6 officer Bill Tanner in the Bond films Quantum of Solace and Skyfall and also fornicated with a pig as the British Prime Minister in the Black Mirror episode 'The National Anthem' - "has been offered the part and we are waiting to hear if he will accept. He is the perfect choice."
Since Matt Smith announced he was bowing out of Doctor Who after the 50th Anniversary Special and this year's Christmas Special speculation has been rife as to who will become the Twelfth iteration of the Doctor, with Domhnall Gleeson (Dredd, Anna Karenina), Daniel Kaluuya (Johnny English Reborn, Welcome to the Punch) and Dominic Cooper »

Frances Ha – The Review
23 May 2013 8:46 AM, PDT | WeAreMovieGeeks.com | See recent WeAreMovieGeeks.com news »
Here’s a film that takes a look at modern twenty-somethings in a fresh way. While in earlier generations, those in that age bracket (if they were fortunate to do four years of higher education, or a military stint) would whip off their cap and gown and settle into a steady job and perhaps start a family (after finding that dream suburban home). For many college grads today, those post-school years can be the start of a nomadic limbo, drifting from job to job and apartment to apartment, even returning to the family nest (insisting to the parents that this is just temporary). The title character of Frances Ha doesn’t resort to that, but she is sort-of floating without a clear destination in sight. But thanks to Greta Gerwig, the film’s star and co-writer, we’re rooting for her even as she takes a ill-planned detour. Of course »

Greta Gerwig, 'Frances Ha' Star, Isn't Interested in 'Being a Great Actor in a Sh-- Movie'
16 May 2013 7:34 AM, PDT | Moviefone | See recent Moviefone news »
When you hear the plot for "Frances Ha" -- about an awkward 27-year-old aspiring dancer in Brooklyn who's trying to get her life together -- your first inclination might be to compare it to another Brooklyn-based project with a twentysomething female protagonist. However, "Frances Ha" is not HBO's "Girls, and its co-writer and star, Greta Gerwig, is not Lena Dunham (nor is she playing Hannah, Dunham's character on the show). That's nothing against "Girls," it's just that "Frances Ha," and its terrific performance from Gerwig, deserves to stand on its own. Most mainstream audiences are likely unfamiliar with Gerwig. Other than supporting roles in "No Strings Attached" and "Arthur," as well as Woody Allen's "To Rome With Love," she hasn't had much exposure outside of the indie film world. Whether that changes with "Frances Ha" remains to be seen. Either way, the 29-year-old actress is someone to keep an eye on. »

5 Reasons You Shouldn’t Sleep On Greta Gerwig
14 May 2013 8:00 AM, PDT | TheFabLife - Movies | See recent TheFabLife - Movies news »
While this upcoming weekend’s box office will likely be dominated by some combination of Star Trek Into Darkness, The Great Gatsby and Iron Man 3, indie film enthusiasts are exploding with anticipation for the release of Frances Ha, the latest film from director Noah Baumbach (Kicking And Screaming, Greenberg). The film has been scoring strong reviews from big name critics —it’s currently rated 94% Fresh on Rotten Tomatoes— but more importantly, it stars Greta Gerwig, an incredibly talented young actress that Hollywood hasn’t quite figured out what to do with yet. She’s been cast in big budget rom coms (she was one of Natalie Portman‘s BFFs in No Strings Attached, and played the Liza Minelli role in the remake of Arthur), but Frances Ha is arguably the first film which fully showcases this naturalistic actor’s many talents.

Greta Gerwig Has "Flare"
11 May 2013 8:59 AM, PDT | SneakPeek | See recent SneakPeek news »
Sneak Peek actress Greta Gerwig, the star and co-writer of the new film "Francis Ha" in the June 2013 issue of "Flare" magazine.
For her cover shoot, photographed by Max Abadian, Gerwig wears a Marc Jacobs top and Jonathan Saunders skirt, as chosen by fashion editor Fiona Green.
Gerwig first came to prominence through her association with the 'mumblecore' film movement, collaborating with director Joe Swanberg on several projects, including the film "Nights and Weekends", which the two co-wrote, co-directed and in which they co-starred.
Gerwig made her mainstream debut in 2011, in "No Strings Attached" and co-starred in "Arthur".
"Acting is such a weird thing to talk about," said Gerwig. "I feel like all the language to describe acting makes you sound like an asshole..."

Despicable Me 2 Loses Al Pacino And Adds Benjamin Bratt
4 May 2013 8:15 PM, PDT | We Got This Covered | See recent We Got This Covered news »
Oscar-winning scene-chewer Al Pacino has abruptly vacated his role in Universal Pictures’ upcoming animated sequel Despicable Me 2 only two months before its release. It’s being reported that actor Benjamin Bratt (Miss Congeniality, Traffic) will step in to assume the role left open by Pacino, which is that of the film’s antagonist El Macho.
The reason cited for Pacino’s departure is “creative differences,” naturally leaving everybody to question what sort of creative differences could arise while making an animated family film. Pacino has been known to go to the extreme with every character he plays, so it may be related to his technique. If I had to venture a guess, I would predict the directors were hoping for some of his Scarface intensity for the villain which perhaps Pacino was reluctant to provide. Again, your guess is as good as ours.

Special Features - Is There Such a Thing as a Respectful Remake?
13 April 2013 1:28 AM, PDT | Flickeringmyth | See recent Flickeringmyth news »
Anghus Houvouras wonders whether there's such a thing as a respectful remake...
Between the release of the Evil Dead remake and the Flickering Myth Reaction to the Carrie trailer, I've spent a lot of time this week considering remakes and weighing their worth.
Fundamentally, I've never been a fan of remakes. So many of them are unnecessary and pointless endeavors. Unoriginal and uninspired efforts that do little to improve upon the original. Not every remake is a travesty. Every so often you find a nugget of gold among the pile of cinematic dirt. Something like David Cronenberg's The Fly or John Carpenter's The Thing. Unfortunately you have to dig through garbage like Clash of the Titans, Straw Dogs, Last House on the Left, Tim Burton's Planet of the Apes, or The Fog, or The Stepford Wives, or Poseidon, or Arthur starring Russell Brand... I think you see where I'm going. »

Jennifer Garner Suiting Up For Black List Approved ‘Draft Day'
2 April 2013 1:56 PM, PDT | The Playlist | See recent The Playlist news »
It may have been a bittersweet moment for Jennifer Garner watching “Argo” win Best Picture at the Oscars. Of course she was probably proud of her hubby, but it must be tough watching Ben Affleck receive accolades on accolades when her own career has been effectively praise-free since “Juno.” From “Ghosts of Girlfriends Past,” “Arthur,” and “Butter,” to her most recent “The Odd Life of Timothy Green,” we were starting to question her taste. But she might finally have a hit on her hands, as Variety reports that she is in negotiations to star in Black List topper “Draft Day” with Kevin Costner. The Black List distinction should at least mean that this has a solid shot at decency. The story follows Costner as the manager of the Buffalo Bills trying to secure the number one pick for his team on draft day. Garner would play his secretary. Ivan Reitman is set to direct. »

‘The Odd Life of Timothy Green’ Review
1 April 2013 3:01 AM, PDT | Blogomatic3000 | See recent Blogomatic3000 news »
Stars: Jennifer Garner, Joel Edgerton, Cj Adams, Odeya Rush, Shohreh Aghdashloo, Rosemarie DeWitt, David Morse, M. Emmet Walsh | Written by Peter Hedges, Ahmet Zappa | Directed by Peter Hedges
As Ben Affleck has resurrected his career post-Bennifer implosion with a series of increasingly impressive directorial efforts, it’s easy to speculate that the Gigli star has learned a thing or two about the perils of working alongside romantic partners. So whilst Jennifer Garner’s husband wows critics with his latest release, Argo, the former “Alias” leading lady is left to take on a seemingly endless stream of lacklustre big screen projects. With a résumé that already includes the maligned Arthur remake, an odious Valentine’s Day and the *ahem* unforgettable Elektra, Garner can now add Disney’s The Odd Life of Timothy Green to her growing list of movie mistakes.

"Sometimes it's good to do what you're supposed to do when you're supposed to do it." IFC Films has finally debuted the trailer for Noah Baumbach's new film Frances Ha, starring and co-written by actress Greta Gerwig (seen in Greenberg, Arthur, The House of the Devil, Damsels in Distress, To Rome with Love, Lola Versus). Yes indeed, this is a quirky B&W New York City-set drama about a fun young girl trying to find her place in life. I saw the film at the Telluride Film Festival last year and really enjoyed it, this trailer sums up how much fun it is in two minutes without giving away too much of the story either. I recommend watching.

Russell Brand is set to reveal a softer, more vulnerable side on screen, according to the co-star of his forthcoming film, 'Paradise'.
Julianne Hough, who previously acted alongside the controversial British comedian in the 'Rock of Ages' screen musical, has revealed during a chat with HuffPostUK, that "he does a really beautiful job, there's a lot which is stripped away in this, he's really loveable and calm".
Julianne Hough (left) and Russell Brand were among the cast of 'Rock of Ages' in cinemas last year
This will come as a relief to Brand fans, still recovering from his last big screen outing, in the ill-conceived 'Arthur' remake.
But Hough, who stars in romantic drama 'Safe Haven' with Josh Duhamel, in UK cinemas this week, is not surprised after noticing this Other Side to Brand in 'Get Him to the Greek »

Washington, Feb 24: British funnyman Russell Brand, who now lives in America, claims that the different curses used by the Americans make him feel homesick.

Russell Brand admits 'Arthur' remake was a "mistake"
18 February 2013 2:44 AM, PST | Digital Spy | See recent Digital Spy - Movie News news »
Russell Brand has admitted that his remake of Arthur was a "mistake".
The British actor and comic had the title role in the 2011 remake of Dudley Moore's 1981 comedy. However, it was poorly received critically and commercially.
> Russell Brand's Arthur review
Brand has said that he was naïve about choosing film roles, and "knows more" about the industry now.
"I didn't know a lot about script construction. I know more now. I was just embracing things enthusiastically," he is quoted as saying in The Sun.
"I thought I could do anything."
He added that the poor reviews hurt him, saying: "I felt a little bit bruised. I felt I'd made a mistake."
Brand currently hosts FX late-night show Brand X, which returned earlier this month in a new hour-long live format.
He will return to Xfm for a week of shows in March, along with Noel Gallagher. »
