‘The East’ Interview with Co-Writer/Actress Brit Marling and Co-Writer/Director Zal Batmanglij
6 June 2013 8:00 AM, PDT | The Scorecard Review | See recent Scorecard Review news »
The East is the name of a anonymous terrorist group that treats devious corporate bosses with eye-for-an-eye justice. Spill oil in the ocean, we’ll flood your mansion with the same material. The title group is led by Benji (Alexander Skarsgaard), and features members played by Ellen Page and Toby Kebbell. Brit Marling plays Sarah, a Christian woman hired by a secret company to infiltrate the East, in order to understand and stop their efforts.
Batmanglij and Marling have collaborated before, having co-written Batmanglij’s first feature, 2011′s Sound of My Voice. Marling also starred in Another Earth from co-writer/director Mike Cahill in 2011, and has recently appeared in The Company You Keep, Arbitrage, and an episode of “Community.”
In a roundtable interview, I sat down with this creative duo to discuss ideas from the film, the influence Voice had on their second project, the film’s most shocking scene, »

'The East' (2013) Movie Review
4 June 2013 3:48 PM, PDT | Rope of Silicon | See recent Rope Of Silicon news »
An anarchist group referring to themselves as The East has just performed their first act of terrorism by flooding the Hampton home of an oil company exec with the very crude his company spilled into the ocean, destroying the wildlife and environment without consequence. Their identities and whereabouts are unknown as is their next target. Sarah Moss (Brit Marling) works for a private investigative firm and she's been assigned to track down and infiltrate this group, and learn what she can so as to prevent such attacks and negative exposure from occurring to the firm's corporate clientele. The battle lines are clear, but the grey area between right and wrong remains daunting. The East takes a good hard look at the idea of right and wrong and through Sarah we're presented with point/counterpoint and asked "What would you doc" and then all that's left is to ask, "But will »

‘The East’ demands we see how easily white-collar crime escapes culpability
31 May 2013 12:24 PM, PDT | SoundOnSight | See recent SoundOnSight news »
Directed by Zal Batmanglij
Written by Brit Marling and Zal Batmanglij
2013, USA
A taut thriller invested in its characters’ complex moral decisions, The East demands we see how easily white-collar crime escapes culpability and provocatively questions how a people’s revolution can better civilization without resorting to explosive ends. The ruthless, money-hungry businesses in director Zal Batmanglij’s second feature operate without repercussion and turn a blind eye to the suffering they create. Are humiliation and violence the only methods that can effectively encourage accountability in such companies? Can society be compelled to make the well-being of civilians a priority over corporate profit? Brit Marling (Another Earth, Arbitrage) plays a bright undercover operative contracted to protect corporations and their CEOs from sabotage, embarrassment or physical harm. She infiltrates The East, a shadowy cult that’s hell bent on exposing large-scale corruption. Marling’s character Jane becomes a drifter »

New Eco-Terrorism Movie Is 'Wish Fulfillment' Says Star
30 May 2013 7:35 AM, PDT | Huffington Post | See recent Huffington Post news »
Brit Marling first got the idea for the new eco-thriller "The East" four years ago. She just didn't know it then. It was 2009 when Marling and director Zal Batmanglij decided to travel around the country for what Marling calls an "adventure."
"We had been reading a lot about the anarchist movement and freeing collectives. The ideas were so interesting," Marling, 29, told HuffPost Entertainment. "I remember reading an anarchist manifesto online that was so beautifully written and so impacting and it had no byline. They just did not care about credit or ego or vanity. It was just about sharing ideas. I was like, 'Who are these people? I want to know these people.'"
Marling and Batmanglij spent the summer of 2009 doing just that, sleeping on rooftops, train hopping and meeting with anarchist collectives. By September, they were back in Los Angeles, where they decided to turn their experiences into screenplays. »

Mostafa Travels From ‘A to B’ With Pan-Arab Producers
17 May 2013 12:00 PM, PDT | Variety - Film News | See recent Variety - Film News news »
Emirati helmer Ali F. Mostafa (“City of Life”) will shoot “A to B,” a road movie about three Western-educated Arab youths who travel 1,500 miles from Abu Dhabi to Beirut in memory of their deceased best friend whose presence is felt throughout.
A rare case of a truly pan-Arab project, in terms of both narrative and production, “A to B” marks the collaboration of a trio of young producers with fresh outlooks: Saudi Arabia’s Mohammed Al Turki (“Arbitrage”), Egypt’s Mohamed Hefzi (“My Brother the Devil”) and Lebanon’s Paul Baboudjian (“Here Comes the Rain”).
“A to B” is the first Emirati feature co-financed by Abu Dhabi’s government-backed TwoFour54 media hub, headed by Wayne Borg, whose mission is to build a film and TV industry with international standing in the Emirati capital, and, by extension, in the UAE.
“A to B” will have mostly English dialogue, reflecting the reality »

Hollywood, L.A. Literati Team for Forbidden Fruit: Readings From Banned Works of Literature
1 May 2013 3:00 PM, PDT | Variety - Film News | See recent Variety - Film News news »
Hollywood and L.A. literati are joining forces May 5 to shine a spotlight on censorship, as nonprofit Pen Center USA gears up for its Forbidden Fruit: Readings From Banned Works of Literature fundraiser.
Good eats, drinks and a silent auction kick off the party at 4:30 p.m. Helmer John Landis, Los Angeles Review of Books founder and editor Tom Lutz and “NCIS: Los Angeles” co-star Renee Felice Smith will read aloud from formerly taboo tomes “Catch-22″; “Huckleberry Finn”; “To Kill a Mockingbird”; “The Catcher in the Rye”; “The Color Purple” (pictured above) and “Of Mice and Men.”
“Banned books have ranged from the political to the provocative, from the sexual to the surprisingly benign,” says Pen Center USA board member Laura Bickford (also producer of “Traffic” and “Arbitrage”). “What they have in common is the controversy surrounding them.”

Brit Marling, Michael Pitt, Steven Yeun & More set for Mike Cahill’s I Origins
30 April 2013 7:00 AM, PDT | HeyUGuys.co.uk | See recent HeyUGuys news »
Mike Cahill made a remarkable debut back in 2011 with the release of Another Earth, and now he’s begun assembling the cast for his anticipated follow-up, I Origins.
Deadline report that he’ll be reuniting once more with Brit Marling, who will star alongside Michael Pitt (Boardwalk Empire), Steven Yeun (The Walking Dead), Astrid Bergès-Frisbey (Pirates of the Caribbean: On Stranger Tides), and Archie Panjabi (The Good Wife).
Pitt plays a molecular biologist who, together with his brilliant lab partner (Marling), uncovers startling evidence that may fundamentally change society as we know it.
Cahill’s debut was one of the best and most memorable sci-fi movies I think I’ve ever seen. So naturally, I cannot wait to see what he has for us next.
Cahill co-write that first film with Marling, but it sounds like he’ll be directing from a script he wrote solo for I Origins.

Brit Marling ("The Sound of My Voice," "Arbitrage") is in final negotiations to star in Daniel Barber's untitled dramatic thriller formerly known as "The Keeping Room".

Hailee Steinfeld and Nicole Beharie co-star in the project. Julia Hart penned the 2012 Black List script, while Jordan Horowitz Judd Payne, Matt Williams, David McFadzean and Dete Meserve will produce.

Brit Marling Replaces Olivia Wilde In The Keeping Room
26 April 2013 8:31 PM, PDT | We Got This Covered | See recent We Got This Covered news »
Olivia Wilde has dropped out of Daniel Barber’s The Keeping Room (apparently that title is being changed) and replacing her in the Civil War-era dramatic thriller will be up and coming actress Brit Marling, who is starting to make quite the name for herself. Co-starring Hailee Steinfeld and Nicole Beharie, the film will see Marling and Steinfeld play sisters who, “along with an African-American slave (Beharie), are forced to defend their Southern home from soldiers who have broken off from the fast-approaching Union Army.”
It’s unknown why Wilde had to drop out but it’s most likely due to scheduling conflicts. Personally, whatever the reason is, it doesn’t matter to me. I’m just thrilled to see Marling in another film. After breaking out with the indie darling Another Earth, the young actress has been taking Hollywood by storm. She was terrific in the recently released Robert Redford film, »

Cliff Martinez’s Latest Score Builds Mystery For ‘The Company You Keep’
4 April 2013 11:00 AM, PDT | FilmSchoolRejects.com | See recent FilmSchoolRejects news »
Robert Redford’s Jim Grant speaks a poignant line in his latest film, The Company You Keep, stating, “Secrets are dangerous things. We all think we want to know them, but if you’ve ever kept one yourself then you understand to do so is not just knowing something about someone else, it’s discovering something about yourself.” As the film’s ominous title suggests, The Company You Keep is about uncovering secrets and what doing so can mean for the people keeping them and those desperate to reveal them. Driven by dynamic performances from an all-star cast, The Company You Keep is as much about what is said as what is not said, all underscored by a restrained, but moving score from Cliff Martinez. Martinez’s rock band roots have made him no stranger to electrifying his scores and pushing the boundaries of standard orchestration. Unlike the thriller pulse Martinez created for last year’s Arbitrage »

Eugene Jarecki and the campaign to end America's war on drugs
30 March 2013 5:08 PM, PDT | The Guardian - Film News | See recent The Guardian - Film News news »
The Us war on drugs has cost one trillion dollars and resulted in 45m arrests. And yet nothing has changed, argues film-maker Eugene Jarecki, a polemical campaigner to reform America's drugs laws. So what did the prisoners in a New York jail think when he showed them his documentary?
Once consigned to the fringes of libertarianism, the argument for the legalisation of drugs has received an unlikely boost in America in recent months with the release of a documentary entitled The House I Live In. Coinciding with the decision by the states of Colorado and Washington to legalise marijuana, the film won the Grand Jury prize at the Sundance film festival last year and has arrived at a moment when Americans are beginning to reconsider the efficacy of their nation's drug policy.
Packed with facts, stories and polemics, the film traces the history of America's changing attitudes to drugs and »
