Christoph Waltz Cast in Gaghan's 'Candy Store'

15 May 2013 8:30 AM, PDT | Rope of Silicon | See recent Rope Of Silicon news »

Stephen Gaghan's Candy Store is filling out nicely as Christoph Waltz (Django Unchained, Inglourious Basterds) joins Robert De Niro, Jason Clarke (Zero Dark Thirty, Dawn of the Planet of the Apes) and Omar Sy (The Intouchables, X-Men: Days of Future Past) in the upcoming action thriller. Lionsgate is handling distribution on this one which interweaves several storylines set against a dynamic criminal underworld in Brighton Beach, Brooklyn. A former covert operative (Clarke) discovers the organization he was dedicated to fighting is now operating in his new backyard. When he teams up with a disgraced local cop (De Niro), their investigation leads them to an international sex trade entrepreneur (Sy), a Cold War consigliere posing as a typical American suburbanite (Waltz), and a beautiful girl wrapped up in an elaborate threat against Manhattan. Gaghan will direct and produce from a script he co-wrote with Shannon Burke and additional casting is still to be announced. »

Cannes: Gallic Laffer ‘Homeland’ Nabs Cannes Slot (Exclusive)

13 May 2013 3:44 AM, PDT | Variety - Film News | See recent Variety - Film News news »

Cannes — One of the latest candidates to become the big French comedy of 2013, first-time feature director Mohamed Hamidi’s buzz title “Homeland” (Ne quelque part s’inspire) will receive a Cannes’ Official Selection Special Screening dedicated to school students.

Sold by Wild Bunch, “Homeland” is backed by “The Intouchables” producer Quad Films. Paris-based, Quad also teamed with Upi to produce romantic comedy “Heartbreaker,” which scored a weighty Euros 24 million ($31.1 million) in France.

Written by Hamidi and Alain-Michel Blanc, a regular Radu Mihaileanu co-scribe (“The Concert,” “The Source”), “Homeland” is a cleverly structured civil-status comedy, inspired in part by the director’s own return to his father’s village in Algeria after 20 years of absence.

First look at James McAvoy in X-Men: Days of Future Past

11 May 2013 1:39 AM, PDT | Flickeringmyth | See recent Flickeringmyth news »

The countdown of "first looks" at characters from Bryan Singer's X-Men: Days of Future Past continues with the director tweeting this picture of James McAvoy as Professor Charles Xavier with the comment "#Serpico"...

His James May-inspired shirt would suggest that the X-Men: First Class timeline of the movie will be set in the 1970s as previously rumoured and planned by original director Matthew Vaughan. Anyone else think he looks like Edgar Wright?

This picture joins our first looks at Wolverine (Hugh Jackman), Kitty Pryde (Ellen Page), Iceman (Shawn Ashmore), Storm (Halle Berry), Professor X (Patrick Stewart) and Beast (Nicholas Hoult). Who's next?

From the looks of the photos, this seems to be the same set where the photo of Kitty Pryde was taken, which also featured Iceman. Could the original X-Men crew be heading back in time to the 70s?

X-Men: Days of Future Past is currently filming »

Writer/director Stephen Gaghan has given us the scripts to Steven Soderbergh’s “Traffic” "Rules of Engagement," and "The Alamo," but turned full-fledged filmmaker with 2005's excellent political drama, "Syriana." He hasn’t directed a film since, but not for want of trying. Gaghan’s been attached to several projects over the years, but for whatever reason, none of them have come to fruition. He may have struck gold with the cast of his his latest, “Candy Store.” The picture already stars “Zero Dark Thirty” star Jason Clarke and Omar Sy (“The Intouchables”), but his latest casting coup is even more impressive; Robert De Niro.

While it hasn't been confirmed who exactly are playing these characters, two recent additions to the cast may provide some hints. We reported last month that The Intouchables star Omar Sy joined the cast in an unspecified role, although there was speculation right away that he will star as Bishop. As for Warpath, we also reported last month that BooBoo Stewart signed on for an unknown role and, since he is the only Native American in the cast, it seems almost certain that he is playing Warpath. »

Film Review: ‘Mood Indigo’

23 April 2013 2:20 PM, PDT | Variety - Film News | See recent Variety - Film News news »

After an opera adaptation and earlier cinematic efforts by Go Riju and Charles Belmont, Boris Vian’s supposedly unfilmable cult novel “Froth on a Daydream” has been adapted to the bigscreen as Michel Gondry’s often inventive but finally exhausting “Mood Indigo.” Gondry’s trademark do-it-yourself production design (“Be Kind Rewind,” “The Science of Sleep”) is given a big-budget showcase here, but the resulting yarn, about a rich man rendered penniless by his ailing g.f.’s need for flowers to stay alive, is emotionally stunted and lacks the requisite sense of tragedy. With Romain Duris and Audrey Tautou playing two iconic characters, initial local B.O. should be solid; offshore, “Mood” will be cooler.

Finally back on Gallic home turf after “The Green Hornet” and “The We and the I,” Gondry would seem the perfect filmmaker to adapt Vian’s work and bring to life such flights of fancy as the pianocktail, »
