Local Hero: Christian Jeune, Head of Cannes Film Festival’s Film Office
17 May 2013 3:00 PM, PDT | Variety - Film News | See recent Variety - Film News news »
Job Description
From scouting films to pre-selecting and organizing screenings and pressers, Christian Jeune is the fest’s behind-the-scenes hero. “Scheduling the screenings of 50 films according to the films’ status, the talents’ schedules, superstitions, along with other parameters is total hell,” says Jeune, a discreet and friendly man. “It’s like playing a big domino game.” Jeune begins his job every year in the fall, traveling across Asia, notably China, Japan, South Korea and India, to dig up cinematic gems and do some PR for the fest. Industry insiders — from filmmakers to sales agents — know him well: He’s the guy who says “no” to 90% of the films that don’t make the official selection cut.
Special Challenge
Jeune remembers the almost-disaster of Wong Kar Wai’s “2046″ in 2004. The competition contender got to Cannes in pieces. Literally. “We had to reschedule the morning press screening to the evening, but even then, »

Tilda Swinton And Tom Hiddleston Are Vampires In Heat In Only Lovers Left Alive Clips
15 May 2013 1:51 PM, PDT | cinemablend.com | See recent Cinema Blend news »
Sometimes a movie so fantastically bizarre comes together that it sounds like it's some sort of brilliant Madlib. That's how I lovingly think of Only Lovers Left Alive, a romantic drama written and directed by art house auteur Jim Jarmusch that stars Tom Hiddleston and Tilda Swinton as vampire lovers. It seems utterly outlandish, and yet oddly perfect. In the film, Hiddleston plays a vampire/rock musician called Adam. Swinton is his Eve, literally.her name is Eve. And together these two live in undead bliss.until Eve's spunky little sister Ava (played by Stoker's Mia Wasikowska) turns up. Only Lovers Left Alive is poised to make its world premiere at the Cannes Film Festival on May 25th. And in anticipation of its debut, io9 has uncovered a pair of clips that give us our first look at these lovers in action. Up top is a clip that shows »
Watch new clips of Jim Jarmusch’s first feature in four years ‘Only Lovers Left Alive’
14 May 2013 7:35 PM, PDT | SoundOnSight | See recent SoundOnSight news »
Jim Jarmusch’s first feature in four years, the undead love story Only Lovers Left Alive, is heading for Cannes this week. So far there has been little word on the film, making it even more ambiguous and exciting. With an absolutely outstanding cast with the likes of David Bowie’s onscreen wife Tilda Swinton, The Avengers villian Tom Hiddelston, and Stoker‘s Mia Wasikowska, Only Lovers Left Alive looks extremely promising.
The film follows Adam, a deeply depressed underground musician who reunites with his eternal and enigmatic love, Eve. Having already endured serveral centuries together, their love story is thwarted by the presence of Eve’s crazy younger sister, Ava. Swinton, Tom Hiddelston, and Mia Wasikowska take on the leading roles with John Hurt and Anton Yelchin filling out the supporting cast.
With Cannes kicking off tomorrow, two new clips have been released. Watch below:

nBaz Luhrman's 1920s extravaganza to open 66th festival and cement Surrey girl Carey Mulligan's arrival in Hollywood A-list
Many people might think The Great Gatsby has already had a premiere with reviews from American screenings widely available. But for its British star, Carey Mulligan, the red carpet Cannes screening of Baz Luhrmann's 3D extravaganza on Wednesday evening will secure her position among the top flight of international talent.
The film will officially open the annual event in the south of France, regarded as the leading festival in the cinema industry's calendar. Mulligan is expected to attend alongside Lurhrman and her co-star, Leonardo DiCaprio, and will be the glamorous focus of the most high-profile function of the fortnight.

And the list of cast members in David Cronenberg's upcoming Maps to the Stars has grown by three as Mia Wasikowska, Olivia Williams, and newcomer Evan Bird have all signed on to the project.
Per Variety, Bird has been cast as a troubled, drug-addicted child star. Williams (pictured below; The Seventh Son, "Dollhouse," The Sixth Sense) will play his manipulative mother, and Wasikowska (pictured right; Stoker, Alice in Wonderland, Only Lovers Left Alive) will portray his disfigured schizophrenic, fame-obsessed sister.
They join the previously announced Julianne Moore, John Cusack, Robert Pattinson, and Sarah Gadon. The screenplay is by Bruce Wagner (Wild Palms) and is a combo ghost story and critique of celebrity-obsessed society in Los Angeles.
Entertainment One Films and Martin Katz’s Prospero Pictures are producing with production starting in July in Toronto and Los Angeles. Sentient Entertainment's Renee Tab, Cronenberg's manager, will executive produce with Integral Films’ Alfred Hurmer co-producing. »

9 May 2013 6:10 AM, PDT | We Got This Covered | See recent We Got This Covered news »
For director David Cronenberg, marrying up stunning and grotesque visuals with Hollywood’s choicest talent is not unusual. The cast roster for his latest directorial effort, Maps To The Stars is already mightily impressive. Stars are chomping at the monstrous bit to have the chance to work with the Canadian filmmaker.
Mia Wasikowska, no stranger to the weird, Olivia Williams and Evan Bird have now joined the project. Wasikowska’s recent turn in Stoker cements her as an actress with a willingness to venture into the sinister side of human nature.

For youngster Bird, this will be his first foray into film after roles in TV’s The Killing and Falling Skies.

Mia Wasikowska & More Join David Cronenberg's 'Maps To The Stars,' Some Story Details Revealed
8 May 2013 9:53 AM, PDT | The Playlist | See recent The Playlist news »
His films may be freaky and funky and may not appeal to the average Joe Moviegoer, but stars line up to work with David Cronenberg. Simply, with unique stories usually married with inventive visuals, the filmmaker makes the kinds of movies few get the chance to do in Hollywood and so it comes as no surprise that his upcoming "Maps To The Stars" is lining up talent left and right. The latest to come aboard on is Mia Wasikowska ("Stoker," "Lawless," "The Kids Are All Right") with Olivia Williams (Miss Cross!) and Evan Bird (who him?) also signing up. They join Robert Pattinson, Julianne Moore, John Cusack and Sarah Gadon in the Bruce Wagner-penned movie that is both a skewering Hollywood and celebrity culture and a ghost story. While plot details have pretty much been kept secret, THR does reveal that "Bird will play a troubled, drug-addicted child star, »

Chloe Moretz May Join Juliette Binoche In Obsession Drama Sils Maria
23 April 2013 9:34 PM, PDT | cinemablend.com | See recent Cinema Blend news »
The only time I've ever heard of Sils-Maria was while reading about a house in Switzerland that the sunshiney German philosopher Friedrich Nietzsche used to live in, but apparently the entire area is quite nice and a vacation home there would be pretty amazing. Does the name have anything to do with the upcoming film of the same name? Possibly. But this is a story about casting, not setting. The upcoming drama Sils Maria, which will be helmed by French director Olivier Assayas, is now in the process of adding busy actress Chloe Moretz, according to Deadline. Should she sign on, she'd join a cast that already features Juliette Binoche (Cosmopolis) and Mia Wasikowska (Stoker). In the film, Moretz would play JoAnn, an actress who takes on a role previously made famous by Binoche.s character as a youth, and soon becomes the elder actress. obsession. It sounds like a »

Movie Review: Crush!
21 April 2013 10:04 PM, PDT | iconsoffright.com | See recent Icons of Fright news »
Obsession is definitely a word that’s pretty familiar when going through high school. Everyone and their mothers have been into someone who just didn’t give them or their hormones the time of day. Well, a hell of a lot of teenage hormones and some pretty interesting craziness take up director Malik Bader’s obsession gone wrong movie Crush, a film that starts out pretty strong, only to leave viewers with a great big wtf?
Popular soccer player Scott has pretty much everything going for him, until an accident leaves him with a bad knee and a bruised ego. While Scott tries to recover by working out, running and everything in between to get his knee better, Bess, a shy lonely girl begins an unhealthy obsession with him. Throw into the mix Jules, a girl who wants to be more than friends with Scott, Jeffrey, who is obsessed himself with Bess, »

After a limited theatrical run earlier this year, Chan-wook Park’s Stoker will be released to Blu-ray and DVD on June 18th. Continue reading for additional details on the movie, including the list of bonus features:
“India Stoker (Mia Wasikowska) was not prepared to lose her father and best friend Richard (Dermot Mulroney) in a tragic auto accident. The solitude of her woodsy family estate, the peace of her tranquil town, and the unspoken somberness of her home life are suddenly upended by not only this mysterious accident, but by the sudden arrival of her Uncle Charlie (Matthew Goode), whom she never knew existed. When Charlie moves in with her and her emotionally unstable mother Evie (Nicole Kidman), India thinks the void left by her father’s death is finally being filled by his closet bloodline. Soon after his arrival, India comes to suspect that this mysterious, charming man has ulterior motives. »

Tribeca Film Festival 2013: Hide Your Smiling Faces
17 April 2013 9:17 AM, PDT | JustPressPlay.net | See recent JustPressPlay news »
2013 is shaping up to be the year of Kids with Guns (cue that Gorillaz song). From Mia Wasikowska toting a rifle in Stoker to those Disney darlings forcing James Franco to fellate a pistol in Spring Breakers, youth gun violence is percolating throughout pop culture. But Hide Your Smiling Faces isn’t a hedonistic look at violence; it’s a quiet contemplation of death through the eyes of children (with guns).
When a young boy is found dead (presumably an accident), his friends in a rural American town suddenly face their own mortality. 9-year-old Tommy (Ryan Jones), who was closest to the boy, finds the inexplicability of death most befuddling and worrisome. His older brother Eric (Nathan Varnson) is initially disturbed (he’s the one who finds the body at the bottom of a bridge) before internalizing his confusion over his feelings about death into a deep rage. But it »

First Poster for Spike Lee’s Oldboy Remake Counts Down to Revenge
15 April 2013 7:03 PM, PDT | Beyond Hollywood | See recent Beyond Hollywood news »
Film District has released the first teaser poster for Spike Lee’s upcoming “Oldboy”, his remake of the South Korean film by “Stoker” director Chan-wook Park. I gotta admit, I was sure they would end up changing the title to something generic like “Revenge” or “Prey” or “Die Bad Guy Die” or something like that, but they’re actually keeping the original title. Go for them, I say. It’s going to confuse the hell out of most moviegoers and they won’t have a clue what the hell it means, of course. Hopefully the trailer, when it finally shows up, will fix all that. Until then, check out the poster for Spike Lee’s “Oldboy”.

There are times you feel as if Swinton has made it her mission to eradicate all traces of natural provenance. She's achieved an almost clone-like physical presence: an ageless, androgynous, translucent-skinned human blank, ready to be moulded into whatever role she's assigned. And boy does she get through them. She's been everything from a distressed housewife to the Angel Gabriel; corporate lawyer to Narnian ice queen. But in personality terms, she's the complete opposite of a blank. Malleable though she may be, Swinton has ironically become her own trademark. »

We're getting to know the Film Experience community. Today we're talking to Joey from Pittsburgh. He's currently performing in Godspell on stage. If you're in Pittsburgh there's two more shows this weekend.
When did you start reading The Film Experience?
Around the time that Far From Heaven was released in theaters. I was realizing that Julianne Moore was my favorite actress, so your blog was mecca when I was in college. I love the site because it doesn't just celebrate movies, but it helped me realize that movies can be bad with something great in them (and vice versa).

Matthias Schoenaerts, Matthew Goode for 'Far from the Madding Crowd'?
12 April 2013 2:37 AM, PDT | Digital Spy | See recent Digital Spy - Movie News news »
Matthias Schoenaerts and Matthew Goode have reportedly been offered roles in Far from the Madding Crowd.
It was revealed last year that The Hunt director Thomas Vinterberg was developing a new adaptation of the Tom Hardy novel, with Carey Mulligan wanted for the female lead.
The Daily Mail now reports that Mulligan is still set to star, while Rust and Bone's Schoenaerts and Stoker's Matthew Goode have both been offered key roles.
Vinterberg has said his take on the novel - which follows a young heiress loved by three men - will be "raw and revolutionary".
The script was penned by David Nicholls, who most recently adapted Great Expectations for Mike Newell last year.

Stoker (2013)
11 April 2013 8:53 AM, PDT | Planet Fury | See recent Planet Fury news »
Directed by: Chan-Wook Park
Written by: Wentworth Miller
Featuring: Mia Wasikowska, Nicole Kidman, Matthew Goode
Stoker is, quite possibly, my favorite film of 2013.
Okay, I know this is a bit early in the year to make such a claim, but the fact that I'm willing to bet nothing will surpass it – except maybe for Von Trier's Nymphomaniac which is rumored to premiere in Cannes because, you know, Von Trier, plus it sounds like the film is right up my alley – should hint at how much I liked Stoker.
With his first English language film, Chan-Wook Park chose to venture into the sinister territories previously explored with Thirst (2009) by crafting a dark family thriller with just a hint of the supernatural. Despite Park's departure from the stylized ultra-violence of his famous revenge trilogy – Sympathy for Mr. Vengeance (2002), Oldboy (2003) and Lady Vengeance (2005) – fans will be happy to discover a newer, more mature »
