Cannes: Protagonist, Thunder Road Set Matthias Schoenarts, Noomi Rapace For ‘Alive Alone’
13 May 2013 10:25 AM, PDT | Deadline New York | See recent Deadline New York news »
Exclusive: Here’s a movie package that should be a hot one at Cannes. Protagonist and Thunder Road have teamed on Alive Alone, a drama that marks the feature directing debut of Khurram Longi. Bullhead star Matthias Schoenarts and Noomi Rapace are attached to play the leads in a thriller that focuses on the relationship between an ex-detainee of Guantanamo Bay, and a woman who is on the run from a crime boss. Longi’s script made both the Black List and the UK-centric Brit List. Thunder Road’s Basil Iwanyk is producing and Peter Lawson is exec producing, with production to start January in New York City. Protagonist Pictures will sell territories in Cannes while CAA reps domestic rights. The teaming is intriguing: the Belgian Schoenarts made his breakthrough playing the tragic protagonist in Bullhead and followed starring with Marion Cotillard in Rust And Bone, and next appears in »

Millennium Trilogy star Michael Nyqvist to lead 'My So-Called Father'
11 May 2013 10:52 AM, PDT | Hitfix | See recent Hitfix news »
Michael Nyqvist is going from girls with dragon tattoos to fathers with amnesia in the upcoming Swedish dramedy "My So-Called Father" opposite rising young star Vera Vitali. Nyqvist, best-known for playing journalist Mikael Blomkvist in the wildly popular Swedish adaptation of the Millennium Trilogy series starting with "The Girl With the Dragon Tattoo," has been signed as the lead in "Father." The film follows the arrogant and self-absorbed Martin (Michael Nyqvist) who develops amnesia after suffering a stroke and can't remember who he is. His long-estranged daughter Malin (Vera Vitali) takes advantage of his circumstances and goes about re-molding his personality into »

Snd Sets Huppert’s ‘Follies’ for Cannes
2 May 2013 7:12 AM, PDT | Variety - Film News | See recent Variety - Film News news »
Madrid — Cannes would not quite be Cannes without a film starring French actress Isabelle Huppert.
It’s just got one: Thirteen-time Cannes competition contender Huppert toplines comedy “Paris Follies,” helmed by France’s Marc Fitoussi, that big Gallic sales-distribution-production house Snd-M6 Group brings on to the market at Cannes this year.
A new film from Huppert, the femme lead in Michael Cimino’s now rehabilitated “Heaven’s Gate,” is an event in itself. Seen recently Stateside in Michael Haneke’s Oscar-winner “Amour,” and a double Cannes actress winner (for “Violette Noziere” and Haneke’s “The Piano Teacher”), she is arguably the best French actress of her generation.
Another “Follies” lure, however, is its age-set. The U.S. is not alone in its gray surge. France is also reaping mature aud dividends. And companies are taking note.
A later-life crisis romp — Huppert has just turned 60 — “Follies” is just one of »

Dead Man Down proves not all Nordic noir is excellent
28 April 2013 10:14 PM, PDT | The Guardian - Film News | See recent The Guardian - Film News news »
From Stieg Larsson's Millennium Trilogy to The Killing, everyone loves Nordic noir, right? Well, trust John Patterson to be the odd man out
Count yourselves lucky, British and European viewers, you're getting your full undiluted ration of subtitled Nordic noir, week in and week out, while we here in the Us must subsist on the thin gruel of remakes, with no real recourse to the originals. You got the original Danish The Killing, we got the drippy AMC remake whose first-season finale prompted a near-mutiny among outraged and cheated viewers. The Danish-Swedish cross-border procedural The Bridge – as mesmerising as Homeland to European viewers – gets a Tex-Mex workover here set on the Juárez-El Paso line, and judging by the grimness of its teaser promos, will not stint on those authentically Mexican sky-high bodycounts. We get the Branagh Wallander, not the Krister Henriksson original. Most notorious of all, perhaps, was the »

Why David Fincher Needs To Direct ‘Gone Girl’
8 April 2013 9:51 PM, PDT | Obsessed with Film | See recent Obsessed with Film news »
In 2012, Gillian Flynn struck gold with her third novel Gone Girl, another in a growing line of unique mysteries with Dark Places and Sharp Objects preceding. Why did Gone Girl really spike her name up to the top? The story is full of so many twists and questionable facades that it really acts as a successful revision on genre mystery novels. That, or does the cover look similar enough to Fifty Shades of Grey that people have just kind of mentally connected the two?
While I have to admit the latter is somewhat true, it is the book itself that strongly merits critical favor. Flynn’s sense of perspective is impeccable, shifting back and forth from different narrators with extreme tonal changes. Gone Girl picks up the day of Amy Elliott Dunne’s disappearance from her home in Carthage, Missouri. Her husband Nick is trying to piece together what may have happened, »

Didion’s Demons: A Review of Blue Nights By Joan Didion
2 April 2013 1:40 AM, PDT | Obsessed with Film | See recent Obsessed with Film news »
The first words of Joan Didion’s ‘Blue Nights’ are its dedication: “This book is for Quintana”, typed in italics, for emphasis. I approached the reading of this thin work with the previously acquired knowledge that Quintana was the author’s daughter, who died shortly after the publication of ‘The Year of Magical Thinking’, Didion’s memoir about the loss of her husband, the author John Gregory Dunne.
I also approached this book having never read any of Didion’s past work. What struck me most, aside from her brazen honesty is her prose, which very nearly acted as a red herring, drawing me from the words themselves into how they are written. She is a quintessential writer, one of our most gifted essayists, alongside the now deceased Gore Vidal and Christopher Hitchens. She hammers home her points with single sentences, which are not written side by side but instead line by line. »

Take A Peak At The New 'Dead Man Down' Clip
13 February 2013 5:40 AM, PST | GetTheBigPicture.net | See recent Get The Big Picture news »
Since starring in the original Swedish Girl With The Dragon Tattoo, Noomi Rapace has done pretty well for herself in mainstream Hollywood. We saw her in blockbusters Prometheus and Sherlock Holmes: A Game of Shadows, and she did a fine job in both of those films. Now, she's reuniting with director Niels Arden Oplev and teaming up with Colin Farrell for Dead Man Down, a crime thriller that looks like it will fit in fine alongside the Millennium trilogy. »

Rooney Mara Says Daniel Craig Won't Be Written Out Of The Girl Who Played With Fire
6 February 2013 4:44 PM, PST | cinemablend.com | See recent Cinema Blend news »
Those familiar with Stieg Larsson's dark Swedish thriller trilogy known as the Millennium series know that Lisbeth Salander is lynchpin that brings the story together and is the central focus, but they also can't deny the importance of investigative journalist Mikael Blomkvist. Thus it was odd when a rumor popped up earlier this week saying that there was a possibility that the lead male character, played by Daniel Craig, would be getting written out of The Girl Who Played With Fire due to contract and money issues. But now Craig's co-star has ridden in to splash some cold water on those reports. MTV recently caught up with Rooney Mara, who earned an Oscar nomination for her turn as Salander in David Fincher's The Girl With The Dragon Tattoo, and when they asked her about the reports surrounding Craig she completely denied it. Talking about the developing sequel and the director, »

‘Dead Man Down’ Trailer: Noomi Rapace Wants Revenge
1 February 2013 8:58 AM, PST | ScreenRant.com | See recent Screen Rant news »
Dead Man Down is the Hollywood debut of Danish filmmaker Niels Arden Oplev, director of the Swedish-language The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo adaptation and the upcoming TV pilot Under the Dome (based on Stephen King’s novel). It also reunites Oplev with Noomi Rapace – who played Lisbeth Salander in the Swedish Millennium trilogy – for a new dark crime-thriller about a woman seeking (bloody) vengeance against the man who brutalized her (Terrence Howard).
The new trailer is essentially identical to the unofficial preview that leaked last December, give or take some 20 seconds of previously-unseen footage. We get an introduction to Victor (Colin Farrell), the hit-man whom Beatrice (Rapace) both literally and emotionally-blackmails into helping kill his boss: the same crime-lord who scarred her. Rounding out the cast are people like Dominic Cooper (Abraham Lincoln: Vampire Hunter) ...

Daniel Craig holding up Dragon Tattoo follow-up?
31 January 2013 11:15 PM, PST | Den of Geek | See recent Den of Geek news »
News Simon Brew Feb 1, 2013
Is the price of Daniel Craig holding up The Girl Who Played WIth Fire?
Seemingly stuck in limbo since David Fincher's movie of The Girl With The Dragon Tattoo was released at Christmas 2011, the Hollywood takes on the rest of Stieg Larsson's Millennium trilogy appear some way from getting made.
So what's been the hold up? Well, according to The Hollywood Reporter, the growing star power of Daniel Craig may be one of the problems. A screenplay for The Girl Who Played With Fire is reportedly ready to go, having been penned by Steven Zaillian (who wrote the adaptation for the first film). But Sony is keen to bring the costs down on the second movie, and that may involve dropping Daniel Craig from the saga.
The studio has an option in place for Craig to appear in the next two films as Mikael Blomqvist, »

The Girl Who Played with Fire May Write Out Daniel Craig
31 January 2013 8:50 AM, PST | MovieWeb | See recent MovieWeb news »
Despite the solid $233 million worldwide box office performance of 2011's The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo, we still haven't heard much about Sony's sequel, The Girl Who Played with Fire. The studio is still moving forward with the sequel, although they may have to do so without Daniel Craig.
Insiders indicate that the actor, who played Swedish journalist Mikael Blomkvist in The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo, is seeking a hefty pay raise, in the wake of Skyfall's massive success. The studio, which is already looking for ways to cut costs on the sequel, is currently weighing its options, one of which may be to write his character completely out of The Girl Who Played with Fire. A representative for the actor stated that negotiations have not begun yet, but he does want to reprise his role.
The Girl Who Played with Fire is the second book in Stieg Larsson's Millennium Trilogy, »

David Fincher lines up thriller adaptation for next project
23 January 2013 9:46 AM, PST | TotalFilm | See recent TotalFilm news »
David Fincher looks to have found his next directing project, with Variety reporting that he’s in talks to film an adaptation of Gone Girl. The news will be slightly disappointing for fans who were hoping that he’d follow-up his adaptation of Stieg Larsson’s The Girl With The Dragon Tattoo with the next two entries in the Millennium trilogy. But it’s hard to feel too disappointed when you’re faced with the prospect of a new thriller from Fincher. Based on the novel by Gillian Flynn, Gone Girl centres on a woman...
