Disney Blu-ray Roundup: ‘Oz the Great and Powerful,’ ‘The Emperor’s New Groove,’ ‘Atlantis: The Lost Empire,’ and ‘Lilo and Stitch’
10 June 2013 10:50 PM, PDT | SoundOnSight | See recent SoundOnSight news »
How much are you willing to spend on a Blu-ray combo pack if you don’t get any special features? I’ve posed this question in so many words in past Disney Blu-ray Roundup columns, and it’s perhaps never felt more pressing than today, specific to three of their four new releases. (We’ll get to Oz the Great and Powerful a bit later on.) One of Disney’s more prevalent decisions relative to home media in the last few years has been releasing as much of their older feature content as possible, as quickly and simply as possible. There are quite a few Disney full-length animated features that don’t yet have Blu-ray releases, but by the end of 2013, that number will be dwindling close to zero. Today, Disney releases three films from directly after their Renaissance period of the 1990s: The Emperor’s New Groove, Atlantis: The Lost Empire, »

After Earth: keeping it in the family
7 June 2013 4:01 PM, PDT | The Guardian - Film News | See recent The Guardian - Film News news »
Almost as old as Hollywood itself, nepotism has had the movie industry stitched up for decades and Will Smith's family are keeping up the tradition
Seriousfacing its way into cinemas this weekend, After Earth is the $130m father-son action movie that fans of slightly icky familial relationships have been waiting for. Set on a post-apocalyptic Earth 1,000 years after its abandonment by humankind, the film stars Will Smith and his real-life son Jaden Smith, has a story by Will Smith, and is produced by Will Smith, his wife Jada Pinkett Smith and her brother Caleeb Pinkett. And people say Hollywood is too incestuous.
The Smiths have been cultivating their showbiz dynasty for more than a decade now, ever since a four-year-old Jaden was cast in All Of Us, an autobiographical sitcom produced by his parents. (Layabout sibling Willow was a doddering six-year-old by the time her own acting career began). Still, »

Oz The Great And Powerful Producer Picks up Rights for The School Of Good And Evil
23 May 2013 12:50 PM, PDT | Collider.com | See recent Collider.com news »
Producer Joe Roth does enjoy his fairy-tale reimaginings. His recent films including Alice in Wonderland, Snow White and the Huntsman, Oz the Great and Powerful, and the upcoming Maleficent, which is the tale of Sleeping Beauty told from the villain's perspective. Since Alice and Oz were both monster hits, it's not surprise that Roth is now planning another fairy-tale* movie. According to Deadline, Roth has picked up the rights for Soman Chainani's new young adult novel, The School for Good and Evil. The story takes place in a school where students are chosen and trained to become heroes or villains. The beautiful Sophie expects to be a princess in the School for Good while her homely best friend Agatha readies herself to be a witch in the School for Evil. But when they arrive, their roles are reversed. It sounds like a fun premise that's reminiscent of the opening of Wicked. »

Trevor Hogg chats with Scott Chambliss about collaborating with J.J. Abrams, making Star Trek Into Darkness and the art of production design....
“J.J. is the genius kid who has a great personality too so you can’t hate him,” chuckles long-time J.J. Abrams collaborator Scott Chambliss who has done production design work for him ever since they brought the television series Felicity [Wbtn, 2000 to 2001] to the small screen. “He’s quick on the draw and is also brave. The telling moments for us in terms of the transition were at the beginning of Mission: Impossible 3 [2006]. It was being strongly suggested to him that he surround himself with a bunch of well-known seasoned pros on every level, in front and behind the camera. J.J. made a strong case that he’d do a better job for them if he brought some of his key players with him; once J.J. »

Following last week's news that Angelina Jolie underwent a preventative double mastectomy to drastically lower her likelihood of developing breast cancer, Brit tabloid The Daily Mail has reported that Jolie will play her mother actress and charity founder Marcheline Bertrand, in a biopic based on her life. Bertrand died in 2007 at age 56 to cancer, and Jolie sites the traumatic loss of her mother as a reason behind her recent medical procedure.

Angelina Jolie's brother feels 'honoured' to be her sibling. The 'Maleficent' actress revealed earlier this week she had undergone a double mastectomy after tests revealed she carried the BRCA1 gene and had an 87 per cent chance of contracting breast cancer and a 50 per cent chance of contracting ovarian cancer - the disease which killed her mother, Marcheline Bertrand - and her brother James Haven thinks her decision to go public will be helpful to others. He told E! News: 'There is no question Angelina makes a difference in our world by bringing awareness to so many causes. Her compassion for humanity alone always makes me honoured to call her my sister.' Meanwhile, Billy Bob Thornton has sent his »

Angelina Jolie Mastectomy: Star Talks Breast Cancer Prevention
14 May 2013 10:58 AM, PDT | NextMovie | See recent NextMovie news »
Angelina Jolie, humanitarian and star of the upcoming "Maleficent," revealed in a New York Times op-ed piece today that she had had a preventative double mastectomy, removing all of her breast tissue.
"My doctors estimated that I had an 87 percent risk of breast cancer and a 50 percent risk of ovarian cancer, although the risk is different in the case of each woman," she wrote, revealing that her mother had died of breast cancer and that Jolie, too, possesses the risky BRCA1 gene.
Those who have the gene marker for hereditary breast and ovarian cancer like Jolie, she wrote, have a 65 percent risk of getting cancer.
The 37-year-old, who is mother to six children and partnered to Brad Pitt, said that she made public her decision to have three months of surgery to remove and then reconstruct her breasts so that other women may be educated to be proactive about their own health. »
