Cannes: Fashion Designers Sew Up Deals in the Film World
16 May 2013 11:54 AM, PDT | Variety - Film News | See recent Variety - Film News news »
The fashionistas have invaded the Croisette.
The 66th Cannes Film Festival kicked off Wednesday night with a two-day celebration of the longstanding love affair between the film and fashion worlds rekindled by Prada-packed “The Great Gatsby” and Un Certain Regard opener “The Bling Ring,” about teens obsessed with Louis Vuitton, Versace, Louboutin and Dior, among other brands. The paparazzi will be happy.

But fashion houses in recent years have also started seeking out a different role within the movie world: one that goes beyond dressing stars for red carpets and parties, or designing costumes for their onscreen roles.
Prada, Gucci, Louis Vuitton and other venerated haute couture companies with mega global appeal are increasingly venturing into film from new, and seemingly philanthropic, angles such as film preservation, sponsoring film museums, festivals and schools, and also film production.

William Fichtner Joins Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, Is He Shredder or Casey Jones?
10 May 2013 8:30 AM, PDT | MovieWeb | See recent MovieWeb news »
William Fichtner has joined the cast of Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles as, "a lead with iconic stature within the Turtles mythology." Could William Fichtner be playing the main villain Shredder? Or perhaps the Turtles' human friend Casey Jones? We don't know for sure as of yet, but hopefully this mystery is solved soon.
Megan Fox stars as journalist April O'Neil, with Alan Ritchson (Raphael), Pete Ploszek (Leonardo), Jeremy Howard (Donatello), and Noel Fisher (Michelangelo) portraying the turtles through motion capture suits, as we showed you earlier today. Will Arnett also stars as April O'Neil's cameraman Vernon Fenwick, with Danny Woodburn playing the turtles' master Splinter.
Jonathan Liebesman (Battle: Los Angeles) is directing from a screenplay by André Nemec, Josh Appelbaum, Art Marcum, and Matt Holloway, with Michael Bay producing through his Platinum Dunes company. We'll let you know as soon as more details surface regarding William Fichtner's character.

'Wrong' and 'Rubber': Quentin Dupieux at Alamo Drafthouse
10 April 2013 11:30 AM, PDT | Slackerwood | See recent Slackerwood news »
By Callie Caywood Schuette
Filmmaker Quentin Dupieux has already acquired a cult following the likes of which is rarely seen so early in a career. Recently he visited Alamo Drafthouse Village in Austin for a double feature of his first feature-length films, Wrong and Rubber. When he asked who in the audience of the sold-out screening had already seen both movies about to be shown, more than a quarter of the theater eagerly raised their hands. This is no doubt in large part due to the fame he's garnered as his experimental-electro alter ego, Mr. Oizo. While Dupieux is still a budding name in film, Oizo has been heard around the techno scene for over 15 years. A history like that is bound to breed some seriously dedicated fans.
Once the closing credits for Wrong rolled, host Eric Vespe (aka "Quint" of Ain't It Cool News) called Dupieux on stage to the sound of enthusiastic applause. »

Adult Swim Orders Live-Action Detective Comedy Pilot From Pam Brady, Arden Myrin
4 April 2013 11:45 AM, PDT | Deadline TV | See recent Deadline TV news »
Exclusive: Adult Swim has greenlighted a pilot for live-action quarter-hour comedy Hole To Hole, co-created/executive produced by South Park alumna Pam Brady and Chelsea Lately panelist Arden Myrin (MadTV). Myrin will also star in the project, a parody of 1980s detective shows (the title does sound like a riff on Hart To Hart). It follows the fabulous exploits of Ashleigh and Amelia Dangerhole, America’s sexiest billionaire detectives. Brady, repped by Mosaic, UTA and Robert Offer, was a longtime staff writer on South Park. She co-wrote the movies South Park: Bigger, Longer & Uncut and Team America: World Police and wrote Hot Rod starring Andy Samberg. A regular panelist on Chelsea Lately, Myrin, repped by Innovative and Jackoway/Tyermnan, was seen recently in the Sundance films Wrong Cops, Bachelorette, and Wrong. »

"Wrong" Is So, So Right
31 March 2013 9:44 PM, PDT | JustPressPlay.net | See recent JustPressPlay news »
The relationship between man and dog is a fascinating one. Canines are man’s best friend and when something drastic happens that comes between both species, decisive action must be taken. This is the premise of the very weird indy comedy Wrong which tells a very simple story in a very bizarre and somewhat confusing way. Filmmaker/musician Quentin Dupieux (Rubber, Steak) has put together a film that will not only entertain but will leave you scratching your head and wanting more.

Wrong Review
31 March 2013 1:00 PM, PDT | We Got This Covered | See recent We Got This Covered news »
Watching a Quentin Dupieux film is always an adventure – albeit a quirky, absurd, and existential adventure. Most of the time you have absolutely no idea what’s going on, but for some reason you keep watching in an almost hypnotic state as your eyes are inexplicably glued to the screen. That’s exactly how I watched Rubber, taking in every visually confusing segment one by one which eventually created a mind-blowing final revelation come the epic conclusion (think of it as a really f*cked up jigsaw puzzle), and that’s the exact same experience one can expect from Wrong.
On the surface, Wrong is about a man named Dolph (Jack Plotnick) whose dog, Paul, has gone missing. There are no clues, no signs, and no information as to where Paul could be, but Dolph is deeply disturbed by the disappearance of his dog. As more time goes by and Dolph becomes increasingly more worried, »

Dialogue: 'Wrong' Director Quentin Dupieux Explains Why He's Not a Very Good Director but That's Okay
29 March 2013 3:00 PM, PDT | Movies.com | See recent Movies.com news »
It's not often that you interview a writer or director and they say they're not a very good writer or director. Sure, many crack jokes in a self-deprecating way, but that's not what Quentin Dupieux does in the below interview. He's refreshingly candid about the extent of his skills, but it's important to understand that none of this makes him a bad filmmaker. It's just him acknowledging that he doesn't have the patience or the technical prowess it takes to be a traditional Hollywood director. That's perhaps to be expected from the man who gave the world Rubber, a movie about a sentient tire that kills people with psychic powers. His second film is Wrong, and while its premise about one man's increasingly weird search for his missing dog might not...

Quentin Dupieux On What Inspired His Gonzo Odyssey 'Wrong' and His Obsession With Monty Python
29 March 2013 9:50 AM, PDT | Indiewire | See recent Indiewire news »
With total disregard for Hollywood convention, oddball writer-director-musician Quentin Dupieux last made a mark with his gonzo killer tire horror pic "Rubber." The Frenchman is now back with "Wrong," an even more eccentric vision about one man's journey to find his missing dog that takes so many detours it plays like several mind-bending shorts all strung together into one absurd whole. The film premiered at last year's Sundance Film Festival where Indiewire' Eric Kohn called it "'Groundhog Day' remade by Luis Buñuel," and finally opens in select theaters today via Drafthouse Films (it's also currently available on VOD). Indiewire called up Dupieux to discuss his latest absurdist foray, his love for Monty Python and his upcoming follow-up "Wrong Cops," which features many "Wrong"' cast members. This might seem like a redundant question, but given the unpredictability of the story you tell in "Wrong," I want to know what inspired the film. »

Writer-Director Quentin Dupieux Talks Wrong, Balancing Comedy and Anxiety, Links Between Random Elements, Wrong Cops, and More
29 March 2013 8:15 AM, PDT | Collider.com | See recent Collider.com news »
From writer/director Quentin Dupieux (Rubber), the low-budget comedy Wrong follows Dolph Springer (Jack Plotnick) after he wakes up one morning to find that he has lost his dog, Paul. Desperate to reunite with his best friend and to set things right, Dolph embarks on an awkwardly funny journey that is often bizarre and absurd, but always oddly entertaining. During this recent exclusive phone interview with Collider, filmmaker Quentin Dupieux talked about what led him to become a filmmaker, finding the links between random elements, how his main goal as a writer is to entertain himself, why he wanted to address themes of love through the relationship between a man and his dog, maintaining the perfect balance between comedy and anxiety, and why he likes to be his own cinematographer. He also talked about when the idea for Wrong Cops (about a group of bad cops looking to dispose of »

Review: Wrong
29 March 2013 8:00 AM, PDT | Slackerwood | See recent Slackerwood news »
As a fan of Quentin Dupieux's delightfully Dadaistic 2010 feature Rubber, I had high hopes for his new film, Wrong. I envisioned a movie just as quirky as Rubber, but with a more mainstream plot about a man searching for his lost dog.
I was, well, wrong. (Sorry -- I couldn't resist.) Wrong certainly is quirky and absurd, but it lacks the endearingly odd humor, cool factor and narrative originality of Rubber. It's weird, but not engaging.
Wrong is the story of Dolph Springer (Jack Plotnick), who awakens one morning to find that his dog, Paul, has gone missing. What happens next probably will make no more sense in written form than it does on screen, so I'll just say that while looking for his beloved pet, Dolph embarks on journeys both physical and mental.
Along the way, Dolph encounters a host of strange situations and oddball characters, among them a flaky pizza restaurant employee, »

Wrong Review
29 March 2013 6:30 AM, PDT | Collider.com | See recent Collider.com news »
[This is a re-post of my review from the 2012 Sundance Film Festival. Wrong opens today in limited release.] In 2010, Quentin Dupieux's Rubber hit the screen to critical acclaim. The acclaim was mostly along the lines of "The best killer tire movie you'll ever see." Despite its odd-ball premise and protagonist, Rubber did seem to have cohesive subtext about criticizing the audience and purposely messing with their expectations. By contrast, Dupieux's new movie, Wrong, is all killer tire and hardly anything to say. That's doesn't make it a bad flick. Strangeness along the lines of a killer tire can still be pretty funny, and Wrong's off-kilter reality offers plenty of laughs. It's just too silly and devoted to strangeness to make any exploration of a convoluted subtext worth considering. Somewhere in all the bizarre behavior is a comprehensible plot. Dolph (Jack Plotnick) has lost his dog Paul and is desperate to find him. That's about as tethered as the movie gets to our reality. Around this understandable »

Wrong Exclusive Interview with Director Quentin Dupieux!
29 March 2013 1:44 AM, PDT | Upcoming-Movies.com | See recent Upcoming-Movies.com news »
Explain to people that one of the most interesting films of the last couple of years involved a sentient tire who was blowing up people's heads with the power of its mind, and you leave many of those people with, well, their minds blown. But that was the story of "Rubber," the 2012 movie from Quentin Dupieux, the French director also known by his DJ name, Mr. Oizo. Dupieux is back now with "Wrong," a film that's perhaps even harder to wrap your brain around than "Rubber," because it has so much going on. Dolph (Jack Plotnick) wakes up one morning to discover that his dog Paul has gone missing. His gardener, Victor (Eric Judor), informs him that a palm tree has turned into a pine, and the girl who answers the phone at the pizza place has fallen in love with him. He's still going to work in an office where it rains, »

Interview With Director Quentin Dupieux On Wrong
28 March 2013 9:40 PM, PDT | We Got This Covered | See recent We Got This Covered news »
Full disclosure: I was extremely nervous to interview director Quentin Dupieux. This is coming from a man who has sat in the same room with the likes of Liam Neeson, Ryan Gosling, and Gerard Butler, yet this prolifically unique French filmmaker/musician (Mr. Oizo) had me jittery and full of butterflies before the interview, which I hope didn’t show too much!
Why though? Why would I fret so mightily about talking to Dupieux? Um, have you seen his films? His concepts may seem random, strange, pointless, and perplexing, but in fact they are intelligent, deeply meaningful, geniusly connected, and so detail focused I can’t help but marvel at what he does. He thinks on this mystical level of heightened enlightenment, and I’ll be honest, I was terrified at the thought of trying to sync myself with Quentin’s special brainwaves – especially after watching Wrong.
Life’s all about taking chances though, »

Faux-provocative ‘Wrong’ only serves to aggravate its audience
28 March 2013 9:05 PM, PDT | SoundOnSight | See recent SoundOnSight news »
Directed by Quentin Dupieux
Written by Quentin Dupieux
USA, 2012
The new film Wrong, from writer-director Quentin Dupieux, is less a movie and more a feature-length experiment in provocative trolling. If you find the film deliberately, obnoxiously unpleasant, well, you’re just a fuddy-duddy. You can’t accept the intentionally odd tone as being a charming bit of anti-comedy. Disliking the film is playing into Dupieux’s plan, it seems, which makes the whole project even more bothersome. Even leaving aside its awkward yet pushy attitude, Wrong is perilously close to being a parody of an experimental, faux-Lynchian arthouse film, full of elliptical, meaningless character motivations and dialogue, amounting to nothing.
Jack Slotnick plays Dolph, a shiftless man who wakes up one morning and discovers that his beloved dog, Paul, is missing. His neighbor Mike (Regan Burns), offers no help and seems more willing to get into a verbal confrontation »

Wrong Is Real-Life Gone Strange
28 March 2013 9:00 PM, PDT | Village Voice | See recent Village Voice news »
If real life were like Wrong, Quentin Dupieux's sweetly unnerving experiment in ambient fucked-uppedness, your phone would ring before you've finished this sentence, and the words you haven't gotten to yet would be read aloud to you by a voice you've never heard before. Then, while you're at lunch someplace, a stranger passing by might stop and declaim this sentence. The next one would be spoken by the man outside who has taken it upon himself to paint your car blue. Before you can ask him to stop, the restaurant's manager emerges to suggest that you never dare return there again. And then you remember: You don't own a car.
At some point, let's say, you come back and read the rest of this review, because Wrong is, if nothing else, a film you should know a »
Review: Quentin Dupieux's Latest Is More Enjoyably Weird Than 'Wrong'
28 March 2013 2:56 PM, PDT | The Playlist | See recent The Playlist news »
Quentin Dupieux directs like David Lynch. On mushrooms. With a head injury. After reading a lot of Haruki Murakami. We promise we mean this in the best way possible, to both Dupieux and those struggling with traumatic brain injury. There are elements of the surrealist auteur's work in the off-kilter comedy "Wrong," from the sometimes dissonant, creepy score to the juxtaposition of the the mundane and the truly odd. But comparisons to the "Lost Highway" director aside, Dupieux is a filmmaker all his own, whose mind clearly works in ways that most others' can't or won't. He embraces the weird with such glee and abandon, that it's hard not to shrug your shoulders, smile and join the group hug. The director's previous effort "Rubber" was the barest, weirdest of ideas – a telekinetic tire on a murderous rampage – turned into a full-length film. While enjoyable for most of those who saw it, »
