Emma Watson hopes to weave real magic with Bling Ring role

16 May 2013 4:50 PM, PDT | The Guardian - Film News | See recent The Guardian - Film News news »

Harry Potter star relishes fresh challenge in Sofia Coppola movie about celebrity-obsessed thieves

If the Harry Potter franchise was one of the most overwhelming cinematic phenomena of recent history, the films' plucky Hermione, Emma Watson, shows no sign of being swamped by her past.

The actor's latest foray beyond Hogwarts sees her as part of a young ensemble cast for Sofia Coppola's latest work, The Bling Ring, which opened the Cannes film festival's Un Certain Regard section.

Speaking before the premiere, Watson said: "Harry Potter feels like such a long time ago; so much has happened in the last three or four years, but obviously it's still very present, it's still being played in people's living rooms. I'm not trying to run away from it … but it's that I've had such an amazing three or four years having a chance to transform into new roles and work with new creative people. »

Emma Watson Heats Up The Bling Ring Cannes Premiere

16 May 2013 1:25 PM, PDT | TheFabLife - Movies | See recent TheFabLife - Movies news »

Emma Watson continued to shed her buttoned up Hermoine past by showing up to the premiere screening of The Bling Ring at the Cannes Film Festival in a very grown-up gown. The backless number drew cheers as she made her way into the theater alongside director Sofia Coppola. A trio of sparkling ear cuffs served as her (very expensive) bling.

Despite her edgy and much more adult roles in movies like The Perks Of Being A Wallflower and My Week With Marilyn, she insists that she’s not trying to merely escape her child-star past.  ”I’m not trying to run away from it,” she said during a press conference at the festival. “I’m very proud of the work that I did. I’m just really enjoying having the chance to transform into new roles.”

To aid with her transformation into a valley girl in her latest movie, she »

Twickenham Studios: Home to the Beatles, Silent Stars, Hollywood Elite

15 May 2013 5:00 AM, PDT | Variety - Film News | See recent Variety - Film News news »

Based about 9 miles southwest of central London, Twickenham Studios was built on the site of an old ice-skating rink that was acquired in 1912 by Dr. Ralph Jupp. One of the U.K.’s oldest surviving studios, the site opened in 1913. The studio’s first release, The House of Temperley, was released the same year and major stars including Ivor Novello, Dorothy Gish, Gladys Cooper, C. Aubrey Smith and Herbert Tree worked at Twickenham during the silent era.

Jupp was forced to sell the studio in 1920 due to financial and health problems. After the new owners went out of business in 1922 the studio was leased to various companies until Julius Hagen and Leslie Hiscott took over in 1928.

During the 1930s the studio produced a raft of “quota quickies,” low-budget features created to fill the quota requirement established by the Cinematograph Films Act of 1927. Such features were notoriously low quality but provided valuable training opportunities, »

Michelle Williams Offered Lead In South Pacific Remake

10 May 2013 8:39 AM, PDT | cinemablend.com | See recent Cinema Blend news »

The closest ever-lovely leading lady Michelle Williams has come to movie musicals is singing briefly (though prettily) as Marilyn Monroe in My Week with Marilyn. (See above.) Still, The Daily Mail reports that the three-time Oscar nominated actress has been offered the lead role in an in-development remake of the 1959 movie musical South Pacific, which memorably starred Mitzi Gaynor as Ensign Nellie Forbush. There is also buzz that the filmmakers are looking to pursue "someone like Justin Timberlake" for the role of Lieutenant Cable. Rather than pulling inspiration from the Gaynor movie, author/screenwriter Lynn Grossman penned a "richly developed" script that harkens back to the source material for Rodgers and Hammerstein's 1949 Broadway production, a Pulitzer prize-winning novel by James Michener called Tales of the South Pacific. Songs like "There Is Nothing Like A Dame," "Some Enchanted Evening," "Bali Hai" and "I.m Gonna Wash That Man Right Outta »

9 May 2013 10:31 AM, PDT | Thompson on Hollywood | See recent Thompson on Hollywood news »

 Many movie lovers have seen Ingmar Bergman's magical 1975 version of "The Magic Flute." But few have had a chance to check out  Kenneth Branagh's 2006 take on the most popular Mozart opera. Well, that one is coming to theaters for the first time in the U.S. on June 9th. Emerging Networks will present the film with a libretto adapted by Stephen Fry and music arranged and conducted by James Conlon in 150 theaters on Sunday June 9th and Tuesday June 11th.  Actor-director Branagh's film transplants Mozart’s 1791 fantasy opera to the eve of the First World War, starring Joseph Kaiser as Tamino and Amy Carson as the daughter of the Queen of the Night. Select theaters will also get a live Q-and-a session with Branagh via webcast from London after the film’s Sunday screening.  (Individual theaters and show times here.) Branagh starred as Sir Laurence Olivier in "My Week with Marilyn, »

Emma Watson in 'transforming' role as Coppola's Bling Ring thief

8 May 2013 4:06 PM, PDT | The Guardian - Film News | See recent The Guardian - Film News news »

Hermione actor of Harry Potter series switches to the vain and amoral as celebrity-fixated Hollywood gangster

Were she a real person rather than one of the protagonists of the most successful film franchises in history, Hermione Granger would in all likelihood blanch at the latest movie role taken on by Emma Watson.

The 23-year-old actor, who played the bookish Hermione across eight instalments and 11 years, is now the star of Sofia Coppola's The Bling Ring, a dazed and subtly disturbing tale of real-life burglary, privilege and celebrity which is heading this month for the Cannes film festival.

The picture tells of a gang of teenagers preying on the Hollywood homes of stars such as Paris Hilton (who was singled out for repeat visits), Lindsay Lohan and Orlando Bloom. From these figures they swiped more than $3m (£1.9m) worth of cash and goods using only chutzpah and the internet: once »

20 Studs Splish-Splashing Around In Tubs And Lakes (No Pools!)

3 May 2013 6:00 AM, PDT | TheFabLife - Movies | See recent TheFabLife - Movies news »

Summer is almost officially here! Which means we all need to cool down, wash up and clean up our act. Only the way these 20 guys get scrubbed up leaves us feeling a teensy tiny bit dirty.

We’ve assembled a portfolio of 20 of our favorite foxy actors taking baths. Whether they’re surrounded by bubbles like Ryan Gosling in The Notebook, or soaking the natural way in a pond or lake like Eddie Redmayne in My Week With Marilyn, these guys are splashing into our fantasies. The only catch? No Pools. These boys will not be smelling like bleach–or the suntan lotion of the beach. These are bathing male beauties, and it takes all our self control not to jump through the screen to try to jump in with them.

2 May 2013 3:56 PM, PDT | AreYouScreening.com | See recent AreYouScreening news »

Oz the Great and Powerful is coming home pretty quickly, and on June 11th you’ll be able to catch the magic. There’s plenty to recommend about this release just based on the film (catch our podcast review here), but here’s one that looks to be filled with interesting extras as well.

Not only are there several featurettes – catch the full list below – and a Second Screen offering, but you also get My Journey in Oz, a personal story produced and directed by James Franco. Something like a super production diary, this looks to be more than your normal bonus material. You can check out a clip of that extra below.

Unlike many recent releases, which seem to be showing a trend towards a downturn in bonus content, this one is packed. Music featurettes, character and creature featurettes, Zach Braff takes you behind-the-scenes of his own personal adventure working voice magic, »

Studio: Walt Disney Studios Home Entertainment

Disney returns to Oz with a prequel this time in Oz the Great and Powerful.

Based on author Frank L. Baum’s classic children’s stories, the fantasy movie imagines how the illusionist Oz might have made it to the magical land.

Screenwriters Mitchell Kapner (The Whole Nine Yards) and David Lindsay-Abaire (Rise of the Gaurdians) start their story with Oscar Diggs (James Franco, Rise of the Planet of the Apes), a.k.a. the small-time circus magician Oz the Great and Powerful. He’s more con artist than magician, and when his dubious ethics push him into a hot air balloon to avoid a beating, Oz gets whisked away from dusty Kansas to a magical land.

In Oz, Diggs discovers that there’s a prophecy that »

First Official Stills For The BBC’s Upcoming ‘The Musketeers’

27 April 2013 3:31 AM, PDT | The Hollywood News | See recent The Hollywood News news »

We’ve received the first stills from the BBC’s 2014 lead Saturday or Sunday night (we believe) drama The Musketeers. Filming is well underway and now we’ve got the first official images of the cast together for the upcoming 10-part drama. The series is written by Adrian Hodges who wrote the excellent My Week With Marilyn but also the rather underwhelming Primeval. His new series follows the fortunes of The Musketeers, an elite band of soldiers operating in 17th century Paris and I’m actually glad to see lesser-known names in the lead roles.

They are D’Artagnan (Luke Pasqualino), Athos (Tom Burke), Aramis (Santiago Cabrera) and Porthos (Howard Charles) and will fight for what is just, regardless of personal risk. Check out the new stills here, don’t they look serious:

Adrian Hodges, had this to say about his new series and how it’s coming along:

‘Hemlock Grove’ Red-Band Trailer: Gypsies, Werewolves, and Nazis

16 April 2013 2:16 PM, PDT | ScreenRant.com | See recent Screen Rant news »

Netflix continues its exploration of proprietary content with Hemlock Grove, a mystery-horror series from the mind of splatter director Eli Roth (Inglourious Basterds). When a teenage girl is brutally murdered in the titular town, two unlikely allies band together to find her killer. Their search will uncover a local band of werewolves and secrets long thought buried by the elite of Hemlock Grove.

Though listed as the primary creative force behind Hemlock Grove, Roth will only direct the pilot and executive-produce the rest of the series. Deran Serafian (House M.D.) and T.J. Scott (Spartacus: War of the Damned) will handle directorial duties for the rest of the series. Hemlock Grove stars Famke Janssen (Taken 2), Bill Skarsgård (Anna Karenina), Landon Liboiron (Terra Nova), and Dougray Scott (My Week With Marilyn).

Emma Watson was the recipient of the MTV Movie Awards Trailblazer Award honor in La on Sunday night. The golden popcorn win was even sweeter, since her statue was presented to her by Eddie Redmayne and Logan Lerman. Emma costarred with Eddie in My Week With Marilyn and played opposite Logan in The Perks of Being a Wallflower. Emma and Logan were also in the running for best kiss, though they lost out to Jennifer Lawrence and Bradley Cooper, but Emma still has a shot at taking home the best female performance statue for her role in Perks.

Blu-ray Review: ‘Hyde Park on Hudson’ Wastes Audacious Turn by Bill Murray

12 April 2013 11:38 AM, PDT | HollywoodChicago.com | See recent HollywoodChicago.com news »

Chicago – I’m always astonished when a filmmaker takes a fascinating figure immortalized in history and decides to explore one of the least interesting aspects of their life. “The Iron Lady” was so fixated on celebrating Margaret Thatcher’s gender that it ignored both her achievements and her controversies. “My Week with Marilyn” made the maddening decision to view its titular Hollywood icon through the perspective of a starry-eyed bore.

And now here’s “Hyde Park on Hudson,” a ghastly piece of would-be Oscar bait sure to offend every history buff eager to see a solid biopic (or, at the very least, character portrait) of Franklin Delano Roosevelt. This is a president whose policies are still a vital part of the national discourse today, and whose steadfast determination to pull America out of a hellacious Depression led to its transformation.

'Who would play me in the film of my life? Robert Downey Jr'

After drama school, she went on to win Best Actress Olivier Awards for her 1979 role in Once In A Lifetime at the National Theatre and for playing Electra at the Donmar Warehouse the following year. On television, she starred in the hit sit-com My Family, and her films include 5 Children And It, Harry Potter And The Philosopher's Stone and My Week With Marilyn. She plays PG Wodehouse's wife in Wodehouse In Exile on BBC4 on Monday.
