Movie Poster of the Week: The Posters of the 2013 Cannes Competition
17 May 2013 4:36 AM, PDT | MUBI | See recent MUBI news »
Above: Nicolas Winding Refn’s Only God Forgives (France/Denmark)
If there were a Palme d’Or for posters (and there used to be) then this widely seen neon devil teaser for Nicholas Winding Refn’s Only God Forgives would seem to have it in the bag right now. The rest of the posters for the films in the main Competition at Cannes this year are a somewhat lackluster bunch. Truth be told, some may be nothing more than press kit covers (the Jarmusch and the Kore-eda), and some are only promos rushed out in the short window of opportunity before the festival. This time last year, one of the films that ended up having the most interesting posters of all, Holy Motors, had nothing to show for itself come festival time. Among this year’s crop I’m quite fond of two of the most finished looking of the posters: Grigris and Heli, »

Cannes Film Review: ‘The Congress’
16 May 2013 6:59 AM, PDT | Variety - Film News | See recent Variety - Film News news »
Robin Wright plays “herself” in “The Congress,” a trippy cautionary tale about where society is headed, assuming movie stars license their essence to studios and audiences abandon cinema in favor of chemical cocktails that allow them to experience life as their celebrity of choice. Conceptually speaking, such a satire could only work as animation, but even then, it doesn’t quite come together — though fans of last year’s “Holy Motors” may appreciate a surreal double bill with this live-toon hybrid, ideal for midnight crowds and psychedelic enthusiasts. Meanwhile, admirers of director Ari Folman’s “Waltz With Bashir” should seriously adjust their expectations.
Ironically, Folman limits his audience by abandoning the Israeli-specific context of his earlier work in favor of a more universal cultural critique, returning (somewhat) to the world of live-action here by opening with what could be an hourlong episode of “The Twilight Zone.” The remainder of the »

Chris Pine Joins Joe Carnahan’s Stretch, Mandy Patinkin Set for Zach Braff’s Wish I Was Here, Wei Tang and Leehom Wang Board Michael Mann Thriller
14 May 2013 2:49 PM, PDT | Collider.com | See recent Collider.com news »
A few casting stories to share this afternoon. Briefly: Chris Pine will be reuniting with his Smokin Aces director Joe Carnahan on the low-budget comedic thriller Stretch opposite Patrick Wilson. Homeland star and Broadway veteran Mandy Patinkin has been set in the role of Zach Braff’s father in Braff’s partially Kickstarter-funded directorial effort Wish I Was Here. Lust, Caution stars Wei Tang and Leehom Wang have boarded Michael Mann’s untitled cyber thriller starring Chris Hemsworth. Hit the jump for more on the aforementioned projects. Though Star Trek Into Darkness opens domestically this weekend, star Chris Pine certainly isn’t above taking on a smaller role in another film. The Wrap reports that Pine will appear in a cameo capacity in The Grey director Joe Carnahan’s next film, the low-budget actioner Stretch. In keeping with the limousine trend as of late (Holy Motors, Cosmopolis), Patrick Wilson stars »

First Trailer For The Congress
14 May 2013 11:36 AM, PDT | EmpireOnline | See recent EmpireOnline news »
No, it’s not a film about the Us House Of Representatives / Senate (they already made that, it’s called Idiocracy – heyooo!). It’s actually the new movie from Waltz With Bashir’s Ari Folman, starring Robin Wright, Danny Huston and more. Take a look… Given the director, you might not be surprised by the amount of animation. Yet the tale, which follows an actress named Robin Wright agreeing to get her image scanned by a massive, powerful computer, is about more than just aping the Heavy Metal style of anime.No, from the looks of this, it uses Stanislaw Lem's short story The Futurological Congress as a jumping-off point for a meditation on body image, how we see ourselves, what makes someone unique and the changing face of women in film. It brings to mind one part of Holy Motors and also the sort of territory that S »
Cannes Film Festival 2013: Palme d'Or dark horses
14 May 2013 5:58 AM, PDT | CineVue | See recent CineVue news »
In competition at the 66th Cannes Film Festival, French director Arnaud des Pallières' Michael Kohlhaas is a 16th century revenge drama featuring a strong European cast including the likes of Bruno Ganz (Downfall) and Denis Lavant - star of Leos Carax's refreshingly bonkers 2012 Palme d'Or contender Holy Motors. However, it's Danish man of the moment Mads Mikkelsen who will no doubt be the main attraction here. Last seen at Cannes with Thomas Vintenberg's Jagten (The Hunt, 2012) and currently starring in the NBC TV drama Hannibal as everyone's favourite cannibal, Doctor Lecter, Mikkelsen has repeatedly proved himself both a versatile actor and a powerful screen presence.
The aforementioned Mikkelsen plays the title role of horse-dealer Kohlhaas who, when wronged by a local lord, raises an army and seeks his revenge, spreading violence and fire across the land. The film is part-scripted and directed by Frenchman des Pallières, »

Cannes 2013 Derby: James Gray’s The Immigrant Tops Blake’s Palme d’Or Predictions
13 May 2013 9:00 AM, PDT | ioncinema | See recent ioncinema news »
Obviously, we won’t know till we see the films. But last year I predicted Amour‘s victory based on the likely preferences of the jury, so that makes me some kind of prophet in my opinion, therefore allow me to deem James Gray’s The Immigrant to be this year’s odds-on favorite, a film he believes to be his best, which could end his losing streak in Cannes in a big way. It has star power, a talented auteur, and appears to deal with a touchy subject – if the title is anything to go on.
Also look out for M. Desplechin, who’s also never won the big prize, and appears to be taking on projects that get more and more ambitious until there will just be no choice left. The big-name jury may want to send Soderbergh off into semi-retirement with a bang, and the film seems »

Tribeca Review: Iranian Oddity 'Taboor' Is Hypnotic, Lynch-Like
29 April 2013 10:23 AM, PDT | The Playlist | See recent The Playlist news »
What to say about "Taboor," a film that feels as if it was beamed down from a backwards Earth? This maddening low-fi fantasy seems to share its DNA with "Holy Motors" in a story that revolves around the unpredictable actions of a man who keeps escaping definition. At first, he's just a frail, elderly gentleman waking in the late evening and applying his uniform, headed to work. Until you realize his clothes might as well be a costume of sorts, a puffy silver body suit folded upon itself with massive, slick collar. Is this man a superhero? He might as well be. The night seems to cough him up as he speeds into the darkness on his motorcycle, wearing the same sternly-serious expression. With dead silence (the lines he speaks could be counted on two hands), the knee-jerk reaction is to suggest, this guy's got swagger. His "missions" as they »

‘Americatown,’ ‘Murder City’: Aldamisa to Produce Black List Scripts (Exclusive)
22 April 2013 2:25 PM, PDT | Variety - Film News | See recent Variety - Film News news »
Ben Poole’s “Americatown” and Will Simmons’ “Murder City,” both of which made the 2012 Black List, are now part of Aldamisa Entertainment’s development slate.
The two-year-old sales-financing-production banner is partnered with producer Sean Finegan on “Americatown”, which examines an ex-cop’s journey from poverty to power in the third-world American slums of world-leader China after the U.S. economy collapses. Aldamisa and Finegan are out to directors.
Aldamisa allied with producer Brooklyn Weaver on “Murder City,” a crime thriller following an ex-con who uses his former law enforcement connections to protect his wife and daughter when he becomes the hunter and target of a ruthless Detroit gangster.
Aldamisa co-produced, financed and sold Robert Rodriguez’s “Machete Kills” and “Sin City: A Dame to Kill For.”
Chairs Sergei and Marina Bespalov said the company aims to get involved earlier in projects as well as considering alternatives to its financing model. »

Only God Forgives Poster Goes Neon And Mysterious
17 April 2013 6:00 PM, PDT | Twitch | See recent Twitch news »
As we've been tracking Only God Forgives, Nicolas Winding Refn's upcoming thriller starring Ryan Gosling, we've noted an excess of brutality, blood, and Bangkok, where the film is set. A new poster, however, shifts things in another direction, reminding me of the poster for Holy Motors. Quality-wise, that pleases me, since the Leos Carax picture is one of my favorites of recent times, but I have no idea how the neon mask is meant to sell anyone on the idea of going to see Only God Forgives, especially those whose interest has not yet been aroused. Point in its favor: I like the weathered effect of the full-size poster. Does the new poster intrigue or mystify? Only God Forgives is due in U.S. theaters on...

Interview: Kylie Minogue at the NewNowNext Awards
16 April 2013 6:39 AM, PDT | The Backlot | See recent The Backlot news »
The NewNowNext Awards blazed Logo last night, and I have to say: It was a downright entertaining, slick operation. Aisha Tyler was a perfect host, the performances were eye-popping, candy-colored spectacles (Tegan and Sara were faaaab), and justice prevailed when Kylie Minogue won the Dance Floor Hero Award.
On the red carpet before the event, Willam and I quizzed the "Can't Get You Out of My Head" diva about her friendship with Jake Shears (who presented her with her award), her recent album The Abbey Road Sessions, and the weird, weird stuff in her recent film Holy Motors.
You may notice that I know everything about her.

From Bare-Chested Lautner to Villainous Hiddleston: MTV Names Winners
15 April 2013 1:54 AM, PDT | Alt Film Guide | See recent Alt Film Guide news »
Mma 2013 winners The MTV Movie Awards 2013 came to an end earlier this evening at the Sony Pictures Studios in Culver City, after relatively speaking veteran Brad Pitt announced last year's Best Film. Which one was it? Michael Haneke's old-age drama Amour? David Cronenberg's white-limo drama Cosmopolis? Steven Spielberg's historical piece Lincoln? Ben Affleck's political thriller Argo? Kathryn Bigelow's other political thriller, Zero Dark Thirty? Nope. None of the above. Was it Leos Carax's other limo movie, Holy Motors? Are you insane? Why don't you try The Avengers, Joss Whedon's special-effects-laden flick starring grown men and women dressed in Halloween costumes. Admittedly, if only most Halloween parties were that successful: The Avengers collected a mind-numbing $1.51 billion worldwide. Take that, The Master, Beasts of the Southern Wild, and This Is Not a Film! Pictured above: Best Shirtless Performance winner Taylor Lautner, with his shirt on for a change. »

How Eva Mendes Fit Into Her High School Jean Shorts For The Place Beyond The Pines
2 April 2013 1:54 PM, PDT | cinemablend.com | See recent Cinema Blend news »
You may still think of Eva Mendes as the woman from Hitch, or from the shampoo commercials, or from tabloid-ready relationships. But the actress who could easily spend a career coasting on her beauty has taken the last 4 years to make a series of risky and under seen films, from the gonzo Bad Lieutenant: Port of Call New Orleans with Werner Herzog to the intimate Last Night with Massy Tadjedin to the surreal French experiment Holy Motors with Leos Carax. Now the latest acclaimed director she can add to her Rolodex is Derek Cianfrance, who broke out with Blue Valentine several years ago and who is back with the sprawling, emotional, and really good The Place Beyond the Pines. Mendes plays Romina, a woman who hooked up with Ryan Gosling's character Luke while he was in town with a traveling carnival. When Luke comes back in town Romina reveals »

27 March 2013 5:28 PM, PDT | JoBlo.com | See recent JoBlo news »
Known for sexpot roles in films like 2 Fast 2 Furious and Once Upon A Time In Mexico, Eva Mendes has seemingly entered a new phase in her career. In recent years, she's taken on films like the indie drama Last Night and the Cannes Film Festival darling Holy Motors. The Place Beyond The Pines marks another art film foray for the actress. Mendes stars as Romina, a waitress raising the son she had with Luke, a motorcycle stunt driver (Ryan Gosling). Her performance marks one of the film's most riveting turns. »

Eva Mendes, 'The Place Beyond the Pines' Star, on Dressing Down and Her History With Will Ferrell (Exclusive)
25 March 2013 2:02 PM, PDT | Moviefone | See recent Moviefone news »
Eva Mendes is mostly known for her work in big-budget studio flicks, and she isn't sure why. "I have actually done a lot more independents than big pictures, and nobody ever brings that part up," she tells us while doing press for her upcoming film the (relatively) small-budget, "The Place Beyond the Pines." She has a point. Last year, Mendes starred in the dreamy psychedelic flick "Holy Motors." Prior to that, it was a role in Massy Tajedin's "Last Night." In "Pines," she plays Romina, a woman coming to grips with a child she had with a vigilante / motorcycle stunt driver Luke (played by real-life boyfriend Ryan Gosling). Here, Mendes is completely dressed down, playing a character who's both physically and emotionally distraught. Needless to say, it's a far cry from her roles in "Hitch" and "Ghost Rider." Mendes spoke with Moviefone about her new film, the movie she wishes got more attention, »
