Jd Salinger documentary gets first screening

17 May 2013 4:12 PM, PDT | The Guardian - Film News | See recent The Guardian - Film News news »

Part of Shane Salerno's film about The Catcher in the Rye author is screened at Cannes after nine years in production

It has been veiled in mystery and speculation, and has been nine years in the making. But now a few minutes of the highly anticipated documentary about Jd Salinger by Shane Salerno – chiefly known as a writer of action films including Savages and Alien vs Predator – has been shown at the Cannes film festival.

Through a bafflingly fast-paced montage of clips, showing fragments of interviews with figures such as Tom Wolfe, El Doctorow and the late Gore Vidal, the preview hinted at, rather than delivered, revelations about the writer's existence after he withdrew from public life in 1965, living in seclusion and no longer publishing though, it is speculated, writing feverishly until his death in 2010.

Asked whether the film, which is due for release in the autumn, contained any »

Cannes Film Festival 2013: 'Heli' review

16 May 2013 2:20 AM, PDT | CineVue | See recent CineVue news »

★★★★☆ Heli (Armando Espitia), the protagonist of Amat Escalante's 2013 Palme d'Or contender of the same name, is a young Mexican who lives with his father, his son, his young wife (Linda Gonzalez) and 12-year-old sister, Estella (Andrea Vergara). He's prone to bad luck, keen on his naps and, when a census taker comes to the house, hesitates about how many people live there with him. However, when 17-year-old army cadet Beto (Juan Eduardo Palacios) falls in love with Estella and makes plans for the two of them to run away together, Heli's cataclysmic knee-jerk reaction will plunge the family into pitiless and brutal violence.

News of drug gangs, corruption and barbaric acts of horrendous violence are depressingly common and have formed the backdrop for several high profile Hollywood movies in recent years, including Oliver Stone's Savages (2012) and Mexico's own Miss Bala (2011). However, Escalante - the director of Sangre, »

Joe Johnston to Direct Gotti Biopic Starring John Travolta

7 May 2013 7:16 PM, PDT | Collider.com | See recent Collider.com news »

Getting a much-needed boost before heading to Cannes to shop for foreign buyers, the John Gotti, Sr. biopic Gotti has landed director Joe Johnston (Captain America: The First Avenger).  When last we reported on the status of this picture, it was stuck in neutral, citing a lack of funding.  Relativity Media now has the U.S. distribution rights to the mobster picture that stars John Travolta in the title role.  The movie is based on a story by Gotti's son, John A. Gotti, with an original screenplay by Leo Rossi and revisions by Lem Dobbs.  Johnston plans to start shooting (as it were) in New York on September 9th.  Hit the jump for more. THR reports that Johnston will now direct Gotti.  Here's what the veteran director had to say about the project: “I think we’ve always been fascinated with the idea of the romantic outlaw.

Casting Couch: Benicio Del Toro is Working With Paul Thomas Anderson, Andrew Garfield is Working With Martin Scorsese, and More

7 May 2013 4:00 PM, PDT | FilmSchoolRejects.com | See recent FilmSchoolRejects news »

What is Casting Couch? Today it’s headlined by news of three big actors working with three well-respected directors, but it also has news about new jobs for ladies like Keira Knightley, Reese Witherspoon, and the Dowager Countess. Benicio Del Toro is the talented and unique sort of actor who manages to be interesting to watch even when he’s in a project that isn’t that great. The dude was fun in Savages. Basically, you can set your watch to him. But pair him with a director who’s good at working with actors, and you’re likely to get pure magic. That’s why The Wrap’s news that Del Toro is in talks to join Paul Thomas Anderson’s Inherent Vice is basically the best thing that’s happened all day. Big actors often times give their best performances when working with Anderson, Del Toro is a big actor—it’s perfect. Also »

Melissa Leo goes to Hollywood

10 April 2013 12:34 PM, PDT | Hitfix | See recent Hitfix news »

In a typically astute essay written for the March edition of GQ, Mark Harris muses on the qualities that make and sustain a movie star in the current Hollywood climate, and hit upon the contrasting fates of Channing Tatum and Taylor Kitsch last year to prove his point. Both actors began 2012 on the brink of stardom, with multiple mainstream releases ahead of them poised to do the job. But only Tatum made good on the promise, with a series of well-chosen leads in overperforming mid-size projects, while Kitsch's vehicles ("Battleship," "John Carter," "Savages") were all high-profile clunkers that did little »
