'The Congress' (2013) Movie Review - Cannes Film Festival
18 May 2013 9:30 AM, PDT | Rope of Silicon | See recent Rope Of Silicon news »
Ari Folman (Waltz with Bashir) has been working on The Congress for the better part of five years now, with the first footage of the film appearing online almost three years ago exactly. Now, the final product has premiered at the 2013 Cannes Film Festival. Inspired by Stanislaw Lem's short story "The Futurological Congress", the film uses the idea that in the future hallucinogenic drugs will be used to replace reality, and Folman takes this thought to make a commentary on cinema and its potential demise at the hands of Hollywood overlords seeking new ways to remain stuck in the past rather than move forward into the future. In many ways The Congress creates a complicated, well worn circle where advancements in technology are being used to maintain a hold on the past rather than propel us into the future. Utilizing both live-action and animation, the film begins with Robin Wright »

Twenty-three-year-old California bred Brie Larson has mined an impressive career as a stellar supporting player with memorable performances in "Rampart," "21 Jump Street" and Diablo Cody's HBO show "The United States of Tara" as Toni Collette's rebellious daughter. In the SXSW Narrative Competition entry "Short Term 12," the second feature from "I Am Not a Hipster" director Destin Daniel Cretton, the actress moves up to leading lady status to anchor the indie drama as Grace, a 20-something supervisor at a foster-care facility, pregnant with the child of her co-worker boyfriend (John Gallagher Jr.), and weighed down by one dark secret she's harboring. The film premiered yesterday to rave notices in Austin, with many critics singling out Larson's performance as the highlight of the Cretton's feature (Indiewire's Eric Kohn praised her turn as "tremendously involving"). Larson sat down with Indiewire to discuss the pressure of carrying the drama, her fresh outlook on. »

Robin Wright Hits a Groove, from 'House of Cards' to Upcoming 'Congress' and 'Most Wanted Man'
19 February 2013 3:17 AM, PST | Indiewire Television | See recent Indiewire Television news »
After three strong supporting roles in 2011 ("Moneyball," "Rampart," "The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo"), Robin Wright returned with headliner power in Netflix's "House of Cards." Much has been said about how the show (reviews: Toh, Indiewire) heralds the new post-tv era (as of February 12 it was the most-streamed title on Netflix). But for many observers, the big reveal of the series (available in its 13-episode entirety on Netflix) is not the always showy Kevin Spacey, or yet another wily Mara sister, but scene-stealer Wright as Washington powerbroker Claire Underwood. Now 46, one-time Wright-Penn (she was married to Sean Penn for 14 years) has consistently delivered creme de la creme performances, from "Princess Bride" and "Forrest Gump" to "The Conspirator," just not in flashy lead roles or widely-seen tentpoles. As The National Post writes, "Wright is the revelation." Her career has not only...

Noah Baumbach made his much-anticipated return behind the camera last year with Frances Ha, which was easily one of the best films I saw last year. The film debuted at Telluride and went on to screen at Tiff – you can read our review here – and will soon be making its way into Us theatres this May.
This week brought with it the first poster and clip, and now Apple have debuted another excellent clip for us to enjoy. This time around, we see the brilliant Greta Gerwig and Mickey Sumner having a disagreement, giving us a look at the rift that has emerged between them.

Sundance 2013: A24 acquires James Ponsoldt’s The Spectacular Now
21 January 2013 9:00 AM, PST | HeyUGuys.co.uk | See recent HeyUGuys news »
Following up last year’s exceptional Smashed, which debuted at Sundance and came away with a much-deserved Special Jury Prize, James Ponsoldt has returned to the festival this year with The Spectacular Now.
The film had its world premiere on Friday night out in Park City, and has been earning very promising early reviews, which is exactly what we’d expect from Ponsoldt.
And as a measure of just how promising the reactions have been, A24 have already acquired its North American distribution rights, within days of the film’s premiere.

• James Franco is taking a break from his life of leisure and and media underexposure to star in and direct Beautiful People, a biopic about Jay Sebring, who built a hairstyling empire in the 1960s. He was also something of a famous international gadabout, including a romance with actress Sharon Tate, which eventually became platonic. Sebring was killed along with Tate in the infamous Manson Family murders, though it’s not clear if the screenplay by first-timer Lauren Wild includes that sad chapter of Sebring’s life. [Deadline]

Paul Dano To Play Brian Wilson In Oren Moverman Penned, Atticus Ross Soundscaped Biopic 'Love & Mercy'
17 January 2013 2:15 PM, PST | The Playlist | See recent The Playlist news »
By this point, Paul Dano has accomplished a lot in his already young career. He's logged time with auteurs like Paul Thomas Anderson and Ang Lee, starred in strong indie comedies like "Little Miss Sunshine" and "Ruby Sparks," gone the blockbuster route with "Cowboys & Aliens" and "Knight And Day," and last year dipped his toe into heady sci-fi with Rian Johnson's "Looper." From to drama to romance to comedy he's done it all (except maybe horror), but now he's tasked with the tremendous responsibility fo playing one of music history's most beloved and influential writers and performers. One of those projects that has been brewing for years, and one we never held our breath that it would happen, Dano is set to lead "Love & Mercy," the Oren Moverman ("The Messenger," "Rampart") penned biopic of Beach Boys leader Brian Wilson. Pretty sweet. And the scope is ambitious. The film »

Hunger Games fans will be very much looking forward to the forthcoming release of The Hunger Games: Catching Fire, the hotly-anticipated sequel to the 2012 blockbuster, and thanks to the new issue of Entertainment Weekly we now have a couple of first look images featuring two of its stars, Jennifer Lawrence (Silver Linings Playbook) and Sam Claflin (Snow White and the Huntsman), as Katniss Everdeen and Finnick Odair:
The sequel begins with Katniss having returned home safe after winning the 74th annual Hunger Games along with fellow tribute Peeta Mellark (Josh Hutcherson). Winning means that they must turn around and leave their family and close friends, embarking on a "Victor's Tour" of the districts. Along the way Katniss senses that a rebellion is simmering, but the Capitol is still very much in control as President Snow (Donald Sutherland) prepares the 75th Annual Hunger Games (The Quarter Quell) - a competition that could change Panem forever. »

Brie Larson To Star In Bollywood Musical 'Basmati Blues'
3 January 2013 11:46 AM, PST | The Playlist | See recent The Playlist news »
Film financing these days is coming from increasingly diverse and exotic places, from overseas investors to billionaire children of a software mogul (ie. the Ellison brood). And joining the ranks of deep-pocketed kids with an interest in the arts is Jeffrey Soros, the nephew of George Soros, who is now trying his hand at the filmmaking game. With a Bollywood musical... Well, you gotta admire the ambition we suppose, and Soros has lined up "21 Jump Street," "Rampart" and "United States Of Tara" star Brie Larson to lead "Basmati Blues." Dan Baron (who?) wrote and will direct the movie, about which plot details seem to scarce, but that IMDb says is "A musical comedy about love, adventure, and a grain of rice that could change the world." It will also have the music of country group Sugarland (!?) in what sounds like pretty mean stew of bad ideas. Showbiz 411 proclaims that Larson »
