A Pope Francis Biopic in Pre-Production?
29 April 2013 2:15 PM, PDT | Alt Film Guide | See recent Alt Film Guide news »
Pope Francis movie in the works? Friend of the Poor: The Pope Francis Story is the working title of a projected English-language biopic about the recently elected pope, born Jorge Mario Bergoglio in Buenos Aires. According to the National Catholic Register‘s Joseph Pronechen, German-born producer and Catholic convert Christian Peschken (listed on the IMDb as Chris Peschken) decided to make a movie about the first American pope (as in, from the Americas) after watching Pope Francis appear on the balcony at the Vatican on the day of his election. The National Catholic Register report states that an "European investment group has already approved a $25-million budget" for Friend of the Poor: The Pope Francis Story — which doesn’t even have a screenplay ready. Amg Films, a company that specializes in Catholic-themed movies, would handle sales. Peschken has invited Spanish filmmaker Antonio Cuadri, whose best known effort is probably the »

Doctor Who: 10 Hollywood Stars To Play The Doctor
12 February 2013 9:00 AM, PST | Obsessed with Film | See recent Obsessed with Film news »
In case you’ve been living underground for the past few years, you might be aware that Doctor Who will be celebrating its 50th anniversary this year. In those 50 years, the show has been a massive hit here in the UK, as well as achieving cult status across the world.

Whether Hollywood have their eyes on the franchise is up for speculation, but for your reading pleasure, here is a list of 10 potential Hollywood actors who would be ideal choices to play the iconic Time Lord.

Today we have the first photo from "A Most Wanted Man" spy thriller, giving us a look at Philip Seymour Hoffman and Rachel McAdams. Check it out below. Plot: When a half-Chechen, half-Russian, tortured immigrant turns up in Hamburg's Islamic community, looking to recover his father's fortune, both German and Us security agencies take a close interest: as the clock ticks down and the stakes rise, the race is on to establish this most wanted man's true identity - oppressed victim or destruction-bent extremist?

First Look: Philip Seymour Hoffman & McAdams in 'Most Wanted Man'
8 February 2013 3:27 PM, PST | firstshowing.net | See recent FirstShowing.net news »
"New spies with new loyalties, old spies with old ones." Time to take a look at an interesting first look photo from a film we're curious to see more from. It's the latest from photographer-filmmaker Anton Corbijn (of Control, The American) adapting a John le Carré novel yet again about spies. This stars Philip Seymour Hoffman as Günther Bachmann, chief of a covert German spy unit following a near-dead Chechen man on the run. Also starring are Daniel Brühl, Willem Dafoe, Robin Wright and finally Rachel McAdams, who we get a sort of out-of-focus glimpse of in this photo. It's not much to start, but I'm interested to see more. Here's the first official photo from Corbijn's A Most Wanted Man, originally from THR (via The Film Stage): Corbijn's A Most Wanted Man takes place in present day Hamburg, Germany where a mysterious, tortured and near-dead half-Chechen, half-Russian man »

First Look: Philip Seymour Hoffman & Rachel McAdams In Anton Corbijn's 'A Most Wanted Man'
8 February 2013 12:17 PM, PST | The Playlist | See recent The Playlist news »
In the grip of the early winter blahs at the multiplex and with the blockbuster season just around the corner, it may seem that anything resembling a smart, adult drama is far, far away (this weekend's "Side Effects" being the exception). Well, not to fear, because Anton Corbijn is here and the "Control" and "The American" director is gearing up a new thriller, "A Most Wanted Man," and now we have our first look. Starring Philip Seymour Hoffman, Rachel McAdams, Daniel Bruhl, Robin Wright and Willem Dafoe (ace cast, btw), the film tells the tale of a half-Chechen, half-Russian, tortured half-to-death immigrant who turns up in Hamburg’s Islamic community, laying claim to his father’s ill gotten fortune. Both German and U.S. security agencies take a close interest in him as the race is on to find out who he really is: oppressed victim or destruction-bent extremist? It's »

Ralph Fiennes and Mads Mikkelsen Join Ewan McGregor in John LeCarre’s Our Kind Of Traitor; Smiley’s People Still in Development
7 February 2013 9:14 AM, PST | Collider.com | See recent Collider.com news »
John Le Carre novels have always been ripe for Hollywood adaptation. Anton Corbijn (The American) is working on an adaptation of A Most Wanted Man, and a couple years ago we got Tinker Tailor Soldier Spy, which sadly was a bit of a disappointment. Hopefully, director Justin Kurzel (The Snowtown Murders) will have more success with his adaptation of Le Carre's Our Kind of Traitor. The adaptation is moving in the right direction with Ralph Fiennes and Mads Mikkelsen signing on to co-star. Per Screen daily, "Ewan McGregor will star in the international spy thriller as one half of a couple who gets mixed up with a Russian oligarch and major money launderer (Mikkelsen). Caught up in his plans to defect, they are soon positioned between the Russian Mafia and the British Secret Service." Fiennes will play U.K. government fixer Hector Meredith. Jessica Chastain was rumored for the female lead back in November, »

Jennifer Lopez's Incredible Movie Co-Stars
25 January 2013 2:45 PM, PST | Huffington Post | See recent Huffington Post news »
With "Parker" opening today, the new Jennifer Lopez movie starring Jason Statham brought to mind a time when the 43-year-old singer dominated the box office with fluffy rom-com hits like "Monster-in-Law" and "The Wedding Planner."
But even more remarkable than her initial dramatic turn as the late Tejano music star in 1997's "Selena" is just how many seriously talented, seriously award-winning actors Lopez has been cast across in the past decade. Ben Affleck and Richard Gere may not seem like terribly out-there love interests, but acting across Sean Penn? George Clooney? Ralph Fiennes? Robert Redford? Take a look back at some of Lopez's most notable big-screen co-stars of the past decade.
"U Turn" (1997)
Talk about an A-List cast: Lopez starred opposite Sean Penn and Nick Nolte in this Oliver Stone-directed thriller about a deadly love triangle in a small Southwestern town.
"Out of Sight" (1998)

Top 100 Most Anticipated Films of 2013: #28. Anton Corbijn’s A Most Wanted Man
14 January 2013 12:15 PM, PST | ioncinema | See recent ioncinema news »
Director: Anton Corbijn
Writer(s): Andrew Bovell
Producer(s): Andrea Calderwood, Simon Cornwell, Stephen Cornwell, Gail Egan, Solveig Fina, Malte Grunert, Helge Sasse
U.S. Distributor: Rights Available
Cast: Rachel McAdams, Robin Wright, Philip Seymour Hoffman, Willem Dafoe, Daniel Brühl, Martin Wuttke, Nina Hoss, Kostja Ullmann, Rainer Bock
If I’m a betting man I’m thinking John Le Carré novels play out extremely well for the big screen (last two items were The Constant Gardener, Tinker Tailor Soldier Spy) and that former video helmer Anton Corbijn has transitioned so well into feature film with the two films in his fiche: unconventional biopic Control (2007) and a Euro art-house thriller that we don’t get to see enough of with, The American (2010). A Most Wanted Man has an incredible cast in Rachel McAdams, Robin Wright, Philip Seymour Hoffman, Willem Dafoe, not to mention the German actors also on board. »
