Participant Media Finds Convenient Truth With ‘State 194,’ ‘Fifth Estate’
19 hours ago | Variety - Film News | See recent Variety - Film News news »
Participant Media, a key backer of touchstone documentaries such as “An Inconvenient Truth” and “Food,” Inc., isn’t afraid to take on divisive issues like government secrecy and the state of Palestine.
The 9-year-old company has just released Dan Setton’s “State 194,” a documentary about Salam Fayyad’s efforts to gain United Nations recognition for the independence of the Palestinian territories. And it’s in post on Bill’s Condon’s WikiLeaks drama “The Fifth Estate” (pictured above), due out Oct. 11 from Disney.
Both titles also are receiving Participant’s unique added-value component: a Web-based social action campaign aimed at sparking discussion and getting people involved with the issues represented in the movie. It’s a strategy exemplified in the company motto: “Entertainment that inspires social change.”
A third of the 150 or so employees at Participant’s Beverly Hills headquarters work on social action campaigns, reaching out to communities »

Why 'Revenge' Is Superior To 'Mad Men'
24 May 2013 9:23 AM, PDT | Huffington Post | See recent Huffington Post news »
"Under the Dome" author Stephen King is gearing up for the launch of the CBS small screen-adaptation of his science fiction novel, which is set to premiere on Monday, June 24.
The "Under The Dome" TV series, which stars Dean Norris ("Breaking Bad"), Mike Vogel ("The Help"), Rachelle Lefevre ("Twilight"), Colin Ford ("Supernatural"), Jeff Fahey ("Lost"), Britt Robertson ("The Secret Circle") and more, follows the panic and chaos that grips the inhabitants of Chester's Mill after a giant, impenetrable dome inexplicably traps the town.
"People's eyes are going to bug out of their head when they see it," King said of the show's visual effects in an early "Under the Dome" trailer. "It's going to be riveting TV."
But the legendary horror and suspense writer is far from new to the medium of television: He's appeared in "The Shining" miniseries, "The Simpsons," "Kingdom Hospital" (which he also produced) and "Sons of Anarchy, »

TWC's Coming Attractions: Oscar 2014 Watch

Cannes Film Festival 2013: Harvey Weinstein’s Academy Awards Preview Show (Photo: Fruitvale Station, with Michael B. Jordan) Harvey Weinstein’s Cannes Film Festival Coming Attractions Special, a showcase of upcoming The Weinstein Company releases, is now regarded as one of the Croisette’s key film events. Because it provides a hint at who or what will win the Palme d’Or? Get real. Even at Cannes, it’s all about the Academy Awards. This year, Cannes Official Competition Jury Member Nicole Kidman was Weinstein’s co-presenter. And no, there wasn’t any influence peddling involved. Kidman was there because she is the star of The Weinstein Company’s upcoming Grace of Monaco, in which she plays another K-named movie star, Grace Kelly. And let’s not forget that 11 years ago Kidman won a Best Actress Oscar for The Hours, distributed by — at the time — the Weinstein-ruled Miramax. Two movies »

James Franco Hosts a Cannes Bash For Former Girlfriend and Current Costar Ahna O'Reilly
20 May 2013 3:40 AM, PDT | Popsugar.com | See recent Popsugar news »
James Franco toasted Ahna O'Reilly at a dinner party held on a yacht last night in Cannes. The event, thrown by James and The Art of Elysium, honored the actress's impressive debut at the film festival. Ahna is starring in not one but two movies being presented at the cinematic celebration. She acts alongside James in his latest passion project, As I Lay Dying, and is also in town for the premiere of Fruitvale Station, which was one of the most talked-about films at Sundance earlier this year. That project saw Ahna reunite with her The Help costar, Octavia Spencer, who stopped by the soiree last night. Guests mingled on the deck - where James and Ahna were the center of attention - over Champagne and dinner as the sun set on the South of France. James and Ahna dated for several years before parting ways in 2011, then recently reunited professionally for their latest film. »

Cindy Crawford looked phenomenal on the Cannes Film Festival red carpet in France. The supermodel had a stunning glow about and exposed her cleavage in a figure-hugging white gown.

Kevin Kline, Morgan Freeman, Robert De Niro and Michael Douglas star in this first trailer for CBS Films’ comedy Last Vegas.

So when Billy, the group’s sworn bachelor, finally proposes to his thirty-something (of course) girlfriend, the four head to Las Vegas with a plan to stop acting their age and relive their glory days. However, upon arriving, the four quickly realize that the decades have transformed Sin City and tested their friendship in ways they never imagined.

Trailer for James Franco's As I Lay Dying
14 May 2013 7:00 AM, PDT | GeekTyrant | See recent GeekTyrant news »
Here's the first trailer for James Franco's new film As I Lay Dying, which he not only stars in, but also wrote and directed. The film is based on William Faulkner's classic novel, and I imagine this wasn't an easy book to adapt. The story is told in a "stream of consciousness writing style by 15 different narrators in 59 chapters. It is the story of the death of Addie Bundren and her family's quest and motivations—noble or selfish—to honor her wish to be buried in the town of Jefferson."
Franco is a multitalented guy. He has dabbled in all things entertainment, such as big blockbuster films, low budget art house films, art projects, teaching, writing novels, and more. I'm sure he welcomed the challenge of adapting this novel, and it looks like it could prove to be a great film.
Set in 1930s Mississippi, the movie also stars Danny McBride, »

James Franco Takes On Classic
14 May 2013 6:35 AM, PDT | Huffington Post | See recent Huffington Post news »
There's no rest for James Franco, who continues to add on to his busy year with the newly released trailer for his adaptation of William Faulkner's "As I Lay Dying."
Franco wrote, directed and stars in the update on the novel, which had yet to receive a film version prior to the 35-year-old Oscar nominee's efforts. The trailer offers a stylistic blend of Terrence Malick's idyllic nature imagery, furtive camerawork and contemplative narration, along with the Coen Brothers' gritty Southern-gothic tone.
Often considered one of the greatest American novels, Faulker's 1930 book tells the story of Addie Bundren's death and her impoverished family's subsequent quest to bury her in Jefferson, Miss., according to her wishes. Franco portrays Darl Bundren, the second-oldest child, while Tim Blake Nelson plays the patriarch Anse. The film also stars Danny McBride as Vernon Tull, a friend of the family, and Ahna O'Reilly ("The Help, »

The Weinstein Co, is preparing its assault on the coming award season. Step one: like last year, Harvey Weinstein is planning to preview some material from their upcoming award slate at Cannes. (Last year's batch turned out Ok: "Django Unchained," "The Master," and "Silver Linings Playbook"). We don't know exactly what they have in mind to show, but here's their updated schedule thus far. Already viewable in full and booked into Cannes' Un Certain Regard section is writer-director Ryan Coogler's "Fruitvale Station" (July 12), which recreates the last day in the life of Oscar Grant, who at 22 years old was shot and killed by an Oakland police officer at the titular Bart station on New Year's Day, 2009. Michael B. Jordan ("The Wire") and Octavia Spencer ("The Help") are getting rave reviews, and it's a gut-wrenching tearjerker in the "Precious" tradition.

American author Orson Scott Card's best-selling 1985 sci-fi novel Ender's Game is heading to the big screen this November courtesy of Gavin Hood, director of X-Men Origins: Wolverine, and while that probably doesn't fill you with much confidence, perhaps the first teaser trailer will do the trick.
Ender's Game stars Asa Butterfield (Hugo) as Ender Wiggin, an exceptionally talented child who finds himself whisked off to Battle School to learn the art of war in preparation for the defense of Earth against an invasion by some pesky alien buggers. Also featuring in the cast are Harrison Ford (42), Ben Kingsley (Iron Man 3), Abigail Breslin (Zombieland), Hailee Steinfeld (True Grit) and Viola Davis (The Help). Check out the first trailer after the official synopsis:
In the near future, a hostile alien race (called the Formics) have attacked Earth. If not for the legendary heroics of International Fleet Commander, Mazer Rackham (Ben Kingsley »

From originating the titular role in the stage version of "Driving Miss Daisy" to playing a key part in "The Addams Family" films, there's quite a lot of variety on Dana Ivey's resume.
The 71-year-old Georgia native has had more than 30 film roles and appeared in close to two dozen TV shows, which makes her a perfect subject for "Isn't That ... ?," a new HuffPost feature highlighting those character actors you recognize from a variety of projects, but don't know much else about.
The five-time Tony-nominated Ivey will appear in one of the final episodes of "The Big C" as a fellow cancer patient of Cathy's (Laura Linney). "I was thrilled to be asked to be on it," Ivey said in a phone interview with HuffPost. "It's such a good show. I've been watching it since the beginning and DVRing it and watching every episode.

Watch First Full Length Trailer For Ender’s Game
7 May 2013 1:33 PM, PDT | We Got This Covered | See recent We Got This Covered news »
Any adaptation of a well-loved book, particularly a genre novel, is often met with shrill yelps of “Really? Why can’t they leave it alone? It’s my Favourite book! I loved it before anyone else read it. Even the author!” Such cries from Orson Scott Card fans fell on deaf ears when Hollywood stepped up to adapt his sci-fi classic, Ender’s Game. It’s not the only sci-fi tome this year that’s made the move from page to screen – and this first full length teaser attests that it might possibly be the most successful.
Following on from the brief snippet of footage released last week, this latest trailer fleshes out those initial glimpses. Harrison Ford commandeers the narrator role, his voiceover guiding the direction of the story. Intermittent shots of a fleet of aircraft getting blown up look mightily impressive. Asa Butterfield in the lead as Andrew “Ender” Wiggins, »
