Wired has a fascinating interview with trailer editor maestro Mark Woollen. Never heard of him? Well, maybe you remember being enraptured by the trailers for "The Tree of Life," "The Social Network," "The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo," and Nicolas Winding Refn's upcoming "Only God Forgives," all of which Woollen expertly constructed. Highlights from the interview below. Read the entire interview at Wired. On the online trailer phenomenon: When I began, trailers were not on the Internet. That’s changed dramatically over the past several years, especially with fan participation. We have instant critiques, for better or for worse. Everything has gotten faster... I was in a meeting with a director a couple of years ago. We had cut something that was on the short side, and he made a crack about it feeling like a trailer for a trailer. It’s bizarre that a year later, that’s »

One of the staples of the Los Angeles Film Festival is the festival’s Coffee Talk series which bring together top names in the industry to discuss their craft and offer inside insights on what it is like to be a working director, screenwriter, actor, or composer. This year’s “Coffee Talks: Composers” panel featured The Social Network and The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo composer, Atticus Ross, John Dies at the End and Iron Man 3 composer, Brian Tyler, and Zombieland and End of Watch composer, David Sardy. It was an interesting panel with Tyler and Sardy sharing the experience of composing for big budget films while Ross had avoided some of those studio pressures to pave his own way through the industry. All three have different backgrounds with Ross coming from a band member’s perspective, Sardy a music producer’s perspective, and Tyler from an indie film into big blockbuster perspective, making »

Warning: Spoilers Galore.
By not simply rolling to "The End," "They all lived happily ever after," etc. after Frodo made a three-pointer chucking The One Ring into Mount Doom, Peter Jackson set a pretty bad precedent in "The Lord of the Rings: The Return of the King." Every time it seemed like all was well and we were fading to credits, another five-minute scene would roll in. Toss in a few Oscars and you've got a bunch of blockbuster directors wanting to add 20 endings to their genre films, too.
With "Man of Steel" currently keeping people from validating their parking for way longer than they should, let's take a look at five recent flicks that just kept going and going and going ...

Good morning!
The New York Times wonders if lesbian sex in literature and film is ever really that realistic. The writer finds that we're usually exploited.
The Australian interviewed Gigi Chao, who still loves her dad despite his trying to sell her to a man that could turn her straight. An excerpt:
I don't think you can be certain that homosexuality is something you are born with. I am more of the scientific point of view that sexuality and sexual identity are something that evolves. It is more of a fluid thing. It is like those fish that can change their gender on a whim. I think there is a fluidity in human sexual identity that can be affected by experiences in life. The 'born this way' argument is for Lady Gaga; I suppose it »

Cinemax is busy beefing up its sniper pilot, Quarry. We’ve been bringing you all the latest casting news involved in this interesting 1970s set thriller. Today we can add a Thor actor to the mix. Stellan Skarsgård has signed the dotted line to co-star in the pilot.
Quarry could be a success. The network has already seen positive results with their original series Banshee and Strike Back. Quarry is based on the Max Allan Collins series of novels and follows a Marine sniper, who we previously revealed would be acted by Prometheus actor, Logan Marshall-Green. When our Marine returns home from Vietnam in 1973, he finds an America that would demonize him for doing nothing more than sacrificing just about everything to protect their freedoms.
As a result, Marshall-Green’s character, whose name is Quarry, becomes a contract killer. He is good a killing after all.
Skarsgård will play The Broker, »

Big-screen staple Stellan Skarsgård has boarded Cinemax’s drama pilot Quarry, TVLine has learned.
Loosely based on a series of books by Max Allen Collins, the project centers on a Marine marksman (played by Prometheus‘ Logan Marshall-Green) who returns home from Vietnam in 1973 only to find himself shunned and demonized. The disillusioned vet is quickly recruited into a network of contract killers and immersed in corruption along the Mississippi River.
Skarsgård (The Girl With the Dragon Tattoo) will play The Broker, a shadowy figure who lures Green’s title character into his criminal ranks.

Good morning!
Michelle Chamuel has made it into the finals of The Voice. I'm not surprised, I'm just delighted! Let's look at Michelle behind-the-scenes, when the competition isn't so stressful.
I was so happy to see Paige and Emily doing lesbian things on Pretty Little Liars last night. Looks like we'll see more of Lindsey Shaw next week too.
Speaking of Pll, the book series' author Sara Shepherd did a Q&A at Goodreads where she talked about Emily's queerness.
I think it's great that gay and lesbian teens, especially, can see a character on TV who struggled with her sexuality, dealt with family backlash, and has now gotten through it and is living her life. I also know that the Pll staff did a video for the It Gets Better campaign for Lgbt kids and bullying. When I started writing the books, »

If you watch "Justified," "The Following," and/or "Californication," you know how versatile an actress Natalie Zea is, and now she's bringing her talents to CBS' upcoming "Under the Dome." Read on for the details!
Per TV Guide, Zea has been cast for a continuing role in "Under the Dome," beginning in Episode 9.
"Once you're stuck under the dome, casting is fairly limited because people can't get in, but that doesn't mean there might not be somebody hiding out," says executive producer Neal Baer. "We've cast the beautiful Natalie Zea as a woman who makes an alarming appearance in a few episodes beginning in Episode 9. She plays Maxine, and if you think [the show's big baddie] Jim Rennie (Dean Norris) is trouble, you haven't seen trouble yet. And she'll be connected to a number of our characters."
Synopsis:
"Under The Dome" is the story of a small town that is suddenly and inexplicably sealed »

Christoph Waltz has signed on to star in the thriller True Crimes, with Roman Polanski emerging as a potential candidate to direct.
The project is adapted from a 2008 New Yorker article by David Gann about the mysterious case of Krystian Bala, a Polish writer who was convicted of murder. A cold case for years, the murder was described as the perfect crime. While Krystian Bala was never a suspect, he published a novel that described a murder strikingly similar to the one that had confounded local police for years.
Christoph Waltz is playing Polish police officer Jacek Wroblewski, who re-opens the case and is sucked into an underworld of sex rings and drugs. The tone of the story has been compared to The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo.
Brett Ratner, John Cheng and David Gerson are producing the thriller, which was initially set up at Focus Features before they put the project into turnaround. »

Exclusive: Management 360 has signed Rooney Mara, who is coming into her own after breakout turns in The Social Network and The Girl With The Dragon Tattoo. Mara continues to be repped by Wme. She followed those films by starring with Channing Tatum, Jude Law and Catherine Zeta-Jones in the Steven Soderbergh-directed Side Effects and most recently in Ain’t Them Bodies Saints, which premiered at Sundance and will be released later this year. There is still every hope she’ll reprise her role as goth heroine Lisbeth Salander, as Andrew Kevin Walker is working on a rewrite of that script for Sony. She got an Oscar nomination for her first turn in that role. Mara next stars in the Spike Jonze-directed Her, and she stars with Ryan Gosling and Michael Fassbender in the new Terrence Malick film. »

Los Angeles — Sony Corp. is taking a deeper dive into ultrahigh-definition video as it comes out Friday with "After Earth," the first of Sony's three movies this year both shot and presented in the emerging 4K digital format. At a screening for journalists, I got a close-up look at even the pores on Will Smith's face as details were rendered with greater clarity on the big screen.
Sony and other consumer electronics makers are betting that 4K images will become the new standard, prompting consumers to buy fancier TVs just as they did when high definition, or HD, rolled out over the past decade. It could also entice more people to buy movie tickets to see for themselves what the super-clear format is like.
But the more detailed images present a host of problems. They use four times the number of pixels as the current HD standard, which results in larger data files. »

CBS screened a first look at "Under the Dome" earlier this week, and teasers of what's ahead have been popping up online so we've compiled a Top Five list right here along with info on where you can find the rest.
Per THR's The Live Feed (be sure to click the link at the bottom of the page for more):
1. Don't call it a mini-series. While the initial run is 13 episodes, producers say there is the potential for it to continue on with a second season (and more). Neal Baer ("ER"), who noted that both "ER" and now "Law & Order: Svu" lasted for 15 seasons, is optimistic that "Dome" could follow that trajectory. "I hope it's a trend," Baer told reporters with a laugh following the screening. He and Brian K. Vaughan ("Lost") both agree that the 13-episode format best suits this series. "It's all killer and no filler," Vaughan »
