Oscilloscope Picks Up Tribeca Award-Winner 'Whitewash' with Thomas Haden Church

15 May 2013 9:34 AM, PDT | Indiewire | See recent Indiewire news »

Oscilloscope Laboratories has acquired U.S. rights to "Whitewash," starring Thomas Haden Church.  Writer-director Emanuel Hoss-Desmarais won the Best New Narrative Director prize at this year's Tribeca Film Festival for his movie about a snowplow operator in Canada who must deal with the aftermath of a terrible accident. "Now I just can't wait for Americans to discover Thomas Haden Church's performance," Hoss-Desmarais said in the announcement. This will be Church's first film since last year's "John Carter," and the first film in which you can see his face since 2011's "We Bought a Zoo" (Church provided the voice and motion capture imagery for the alien Tal Hajus in "John Carter," as I'm sure everyone remembers). "Whitewash" was produced by Luc Dery and Kim McCraw of micro_scope, a company know for well-reviewed indies like "Incendies" in 2010 and "Monsieur Lazhar" in 2011.  No release date has been set, but Oscilloscope is »

Fox 2013-2014 Full Schedule Preview With Trailers And Images

14 May 2013 10:12 AM, PDT | AreYouScreening.com | See recent AreYouScreening news »

Fox has one of its better slates coming your way with the new season, especially if you take the midseason shows into account. Some of these shows may not jump out at you now as must-see, but some of them are going to take over, if I’m any judge anyway.

Clear showcase offerings Dads, Almost Human, and Us & Them are guaranteed to take off early. Almost Human has J.J. Abrams recognition to pull people in, though it looks to be a show that could flounder after a few episodes, even if I hope it doesn’t. The other two are going to become hits. Unfortunately, we have to wait until mid-season for the Gavin & Stacey remake.

Rake also looks like a winner, as long as the translation can be made to work as an Americanized product, and the show actually delivers what made the Australian original so brilliant.

'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, »

'Downton Abbey' Star Cast As 'Cinderella' in Disney's Latest

30 April 2013 1:04 PM, PDT | Fandango | See recent Fandango news »

A Downton Abbey star is joining Cate Blanchett in Disney’s live-action version of Cinderella.   Lily James, who plays Lady Rose MacClare in the PBS smash hit, will play the fairy tale princess in the 2014 upgrade, which will be directed by Sir Kenneth Branagh. Blanchett is set to play the evil stepmother, Lady Tremaine, while Richard Madden is rumored to be playing Prince Charming in the film.    The Cinderella screenplay will be credited to Aline Brosh McKenna (The Devil Wears Prada, We Bought a Zoo) and Chris Weitz (About a Boy). That’s reason enough to get excited, but pairing Branagh with Blanchett and a powerful newcomer like James makes this a must-see for families.    James’ credits outside of Downton Abbey include...

McAdams Cast in New Cameron Crowe Film

12 April 2013 7:00 AM, PDT | GeekTyrant | See recent GeekTyrant news »

Cameron Crowe is prepping up to shoot his next feature film for Sony Pictures. He's looking to cast Rachel McAdams alongside Emma Stone and Bradley Cooper.

The movie still has no title, and there's not much known about the story, but it's a romantic comedy that's been compared to Almost Famous and Jerry Maguire. McAdams will play a former lover of Cooper’s character. The two previously played a couple in Wedding Crashers.

It's been previously speculated that the movie could be Deep Tiki, the supernatural romantic comedy that Crowe was developing before making We Bought A Zoo. Crowe wrote the script and will direct the film beginning this October.

If it is Deep Tiki, the story centers on a disgraced military weapons consultant who is deployed to a dormant base in Hawaii to supervise the launch of a spy satellite. While there he discovers himself and thinks about the relationships he left behind. »

Rachel McAdams Joins Cameron Crowe’s Deep Tiki

11 April 2013 7:45 PM, PDT | We Got This Covered | See recent We Got This Covered news »

Unfortunately, Cameron Crowe hasn’t been terribly busy lately. The director took a six year break between Elizabethtown and We Bought A Zoo (though he did put out two documentaries during that time) and now, we’re all patiently awaiting his next film, Deep Tiki, which won’t be here until late 2014. So far, Bradley Cooper and Emma Stone have been cast as leads and today, Rachel McAdams has joined.

Though we don’t know a whole lot about this film just yet, from what we’ve heard it will be similar to Crowe’s two biggest hits, Jerry Maguire and Almost Famous, in that it will be funny and romantic. McAdams’ role is said to be that of Cooper’s ex-lover, but no other details were given.

Now, here’s where it gets tricky. The film isn’t officially titled just yet but apparently, it’s a “heavily reworked »

Cameron Crowe Project Interested in Signing Rachel McAdams

11 April 2013 5:32 PM, PDT | LatinoReview | See recent LatinoReview news »

Deadline reports that the new Cameron Crowe (Jerry Maguire, Almost Famous) project is in talks to sign Rachel McAdams (Mean Girls, Midnight In Paris).

If signed, McAdams could join Bradley Cooper (The Hangover, Silver Linings Playbook) and Emma Stone (ZombielandThe Amazing Spider-Man) in a project described as being similar in tone to Crowe’s most well-known films: Jerry Maguire (1996) and Almost Famous (2000).

According to Deadline, McAdams is set to play an ex-lover of Cooper’s character. The Hollywood Reporter has a short synopsis of the film, which appears to be a reworking of a long-pending project of Crowe’s called Deep Tiki:

A defense contractor (Cooper) who is overseeing a weapons satellite launch from Hawaii teams up with (and falls for) an Air Force pilot (Stone) to scuttle the launch. Mystical island forces and a talking computer also play a part.

Crowe wrote the script and will begin »

Rachel McAdams Makes New Cameron Crowe Movie Even Cuter

11 April 2013 4:54 PM, PDT | NextMovie | See recent NextMovie news »

Does "Untitled Cameron Crowe Project" have a cute cast ... or the cutest cast ever?

"To the Wonder" cutie Rachel McAdams is officially in talks to join fellow cuties Bradley Cooper and Emma Stone in the "We Bought a Zoo" filmmaker's cute new project, according to The Hollywood Reporter.

Crowe's new film was first announced last July when Emma Stone was cast and has since been confirmed to be a project that the writer-director has been trying to get made for several years. Formerly titled "Deep Tiki," the story follows a military contractor (Cooper) who's assigned to a top-secret military satellite launch in Hawaii and gets involved with an uptight military liaison (Stone) and local spiritual leaders who are preparing for the fulfillment of a prophecy involving the gods Lomo and Pele.

Awesome.

Even more awesome: McAdams will be playing the role of Cooper's ex-girlfriend, which means the plot will probably »

Music in Film: Stoker, Maniac, Cloud Atlas, Broken

3 April 2013 1:51 AM, PDT | Den of Geek | See recent Den of Geek news »

Feature Ivan Radford 4 Apr 2013 - 06:47

In his latest Music in Film column, Ivan has a listen to some of the finest soundtracks to appear this year so far...

What do John Carter and Maniac have in common? Unlikely male heroes, wooden supporting cast and spring release dates aside, they both have excellent scores.

In fact, February/March is fast becoming my favourite time of year for unexpected film music treats. 2012 gave us Michael Giacchino’s epic sci-fi score to John Carter, Mark Mothersbaugh’s fun 21 Jump St, the charming Hunky Dory, and Jónsi’s (of Sigur Ros) lovely We Bought A Zoo. Here are some scores that you might not have noticed this year, which are all worth a listen.

Who is the mysterious composer "Rob"? No one really knows. Does he have a wife? Is he a she and is "Rob" actually short for "Roberta"? Perhaps »

Iron Man 3 TV spot shows Pepper Potts getting in on the action

26 March 2013 12:25 AM, PDT | Flickeringmyth | See recent Flickeringmyth news »

In exactly one month's time Disney and Marvel Studios will launch Phase Two of the Marvel Cinematic Universe as Robert Downey Jr. returns as Tony Stark to battle The Mandarin (Ben Kingsley) in Iron Man 3 and a new international TV spot has just surfaced via ComicBookMovie which contains a pretty big spoiler concerning Gwyneth Paltrow's Pepper Potts. So, read on at your own risk...

Yes, it's been rumoured for some time now, and Paltrow confirmed it herself in an interview last week, but now we have our first look at Pepper Potts 'rescuing' Tony by donning his Iron Man suit to protect him from falling debris. Seems strange that Marvel would reveal this now after keeping it a secret for so long, so my only guess is that some of the upcoming merchandising tie-ins were going to spoil the surprise anyway.

And here's another new TV spot, featuring »

Oz still Great and Powerful at UK box office

19 March 2013 5:33 AM, PDT | The Guardian - Film News | See recent The Guardian - Film News news »

Fantasy film continues to work its wizardry while Side Effects and Welcome to the Punch follow the yellow brick road to the top

The winner

Facing relatively weak fresh competition from new releases, Oz the Great and Powerful managed a decent hold, declining 30% from the previous weekend for a 10-day total of £7.7m. That's enough for eighth place among 2013 releases so far, behind Les Misérables (£39.9m), Wreck-It Ralph (£22.0m), Django Unchained (£15.4m), The Impossible (£13.2m), A Good Day to Die Hard (£10.6m), Lincoln (£8.5m) and Quartet (£8.2m). Oz is certain to overtake the last three in that list, and Disney will be hoping for a lot better than that, especially with Easter still to come. But it's clear that the film is nowhere in the same league commercially as Oz producer Joe Roth's Alice in Wonderland, which reached a hefty £37.8m here in 2010.

‘Disconnect’ Trailer: The Dark Side of Our Modern World

3 March 2013 1:59 PM, PST | ScreenRant.com | See recent Screen Rant news »

Disconnect takes on the theme of social media and modern technology’s inability to truly connect members of society on a human level. As the trailer above showcases, the film tackles its layered-subject with numerous interweaving storylines, with each one seemingly demonstrating a separate pitfall of our social media generation and (over)reliance on technology.

The film is brought to us by Oscar nominee Henry Alex Rubin (Murderball), who is making his fiction feature debut. It features a diverse but very talented ensemble cast, including Jason Bateman (Arrested Development), Hope Davis (American Splendor), Frank Grillo (The Grey), Paula Patton (Mission Impossible: Ghost Protocol), Alexander Skarsgård (True Blood), Max Thieriot (House at the End of the Street), Andrea Riseborough (Oblivion) and Colin Ford (We Bought a Zoo).

Here’s a look at the film’s official poster:

Pilot casting: Chyler Leigh and Anthony Lapaglia land starring roles

27 February 2013 3:20 PM, PST | Zap2It - From Inside the Box | See recent Zap2It - From Inside the Box news »

Casting irony alert: Former "Grey's Anatomy" star Chyler Leigh is set to play a survivor of a plane crash in an NBC comedy.

Leigh is joining the ensemble of "Holding Patterns," a show about a group of friends whose lives change after they survive a plane crash. Her "Grey's" character died at the end of last season -- as the result of a plane crash.

"The Office" writer-producer Justin Spitzer created "Holding Patterns." It will be the first comedy series role for Leigh since she starred in the short-lived "That '80s Show" in 2002.

Lots more pilot casting news:

- "Without a Trace" star Anthony Lapaglia is close to a deal to star opposite Felicity Huffman in Fox's drama "Boomerang." The show is about a family business, which just happens to be contract killing. Lapaglia and Huffman would play husband and wife, who have trained their two sons (Patrick Heusinger and »

The Mandarin gets an Iron Man 3 character poster and description

23 February 2013 1:21 AM, PST | Flickeringmyth | See recent Flickeringmyth news »

Over the past week or so we've seen Iron Man 3 character posters for War Machine (Don Cheadle) and Aldrich Killian (Guy Pearce), and now Disney and Marvel Studios has released another, this time featuring Iron Man's (Robert Downey Jr.) arch-nemesis The Mandarin, who is portrayed by Ben Kingsley (Sexy Beast):

In addition to the poster, Disney has also unveiled a new character description for the terrorist leader:

"Mandarin is the sinister head of the terrorist organization known as The Ten Rings, from which all the acts of extreme terrorism plaguing the world appear to emanate. Although he is reclusive, Mandarin wields great power and makes his presence known by striking fear in the government and the populace through his brazen plans of attack."

And thanks to Empire, we have a wider shot of The Mandarin, revealing what's under his foot:
