Review: Robin Wright gets animated in messy, sometimes mesmerizing 'The Congress'
16 May 2013 1:39 PM, PDT | Hitfix | See recent Hitfix news »
Cannes - Most likely in sheer desperation at having to say anything at all about Colin Farrell dud "Dead Man Down," veteran critic David Thomson recently turned his review into a plea to Hollywood casting directors to make bolder, braver, weirder choices -- to throw gender and other demographic demarcations to the wind and let familiar screen stars become other people entirely. "We need to revolutionize casting," he wrote, "often enough to live up to our sense of ourselves: that we are not one fixed persona -- we contain multitudes." One can only guess whether or not Thomson was aware of »

Noomi Rapace Will Be Alive, Alone
13 May 2013 12:42 PM, PDT | EmpireOnline | See recent EmpireOnline news »
After fending off rampaging Engineers and dealing with chestburster issues in Prometheus, then blackmailing Colin Farrell in Dead Man Down, you’d think Noomi Rapace would enjoy a film where she gets to watch horses running in a field or have a lovely cup of hot tea. Nope: she’s on for another dramatic thriller, signing on with Rust And Bone’s Matthias Schoenaerts for Alive Alone.Khurram Longi will make his directing debut with the film, which finds a woman on the run from a crime boss. She starts an unexpected relationship with a man who spent time as a “guest” at Guantanamo Bay. We don’t expect the relationship to be a particularly easy one.Longi wrote the script, which landed on both the Black List of praised scripts in Hollywood and the UK’s own Brit List. Filming is set to kick off next January in New »
Matthias Schoenarts & Noomi Rapace Are 'Alive Alone'
13 May 2013 11:10 AM, PDT | The Playlist | See recent The Playlist news »
It seems that Noomi Rapace is really into bro-ing out with buff, Euro actors and frankly, who can blame her? She's currently in the midst of doing back-to-back films with Tom Hardy -- "Animal Rescue" which went in front of cameras this past spring and the upcoming thriller "Child 44" -- and now she's gearing up for another movie with one of her 'Rescue' co-stars. Rapace will be teaming with rising star Matthias Schoenarts ("Bullhead," "Rust And Bone") for "Alive Alone," and it sounds pretty promising. Penned by Khurram Longi (who will also make his directorial debut on the picture), the 2007 Brit List approved script will chronicle "the relationship between an ex-detainee of Guantanamo Bay, and a woman who is on the run from a crime boss." It does have a very faint whiff of "Dead Man Down"-esque flavor to it, which we hope goes away, but any opportunity »

Dominic Cooper Lands ‘Dracula’ Role
9 May 2013 1:19 AM, PDT | LatinoReview | See recent LatinoReview news »
Dominic Cooper must really be a fan of vampire movies because he’s following Abraham Lincoln: Vampire Hunter with Dracula, a Universal pic which already stars Luke Evans. Cooper would co-star.
Reports say that Sarah Gadon is also on board with Gary Shore set as director. Michael De Luca is producing. According to Variety, the story is “a mix of mythology and history as it follows the story of Prince Vlad, the inspiration for the Dracula character popularized by Bram Stoker’s novel.”
Universal is hoping to release the project on Aug. 8, 2014.
Cooper was recently seen in Dead Man Down. He will next appear in DreamWorks’ Need for Speed, starring Aaron Paul.

Dracula Adds Dominic Cooper
8 May 2013 6:18 PM, PDT | MovieWeb | See recent MovieWeb news »
Dominic Cooper is in negotiations to join the cast of Dracula for Universal Pictures and director Gary Shore.
Luke Evans is starring as the title character in this drama that blends Bram Stoker's fictional Dracula tale, with the true story of Prince Vlad the Impaler, a historical figure who served as Bram Stoker's inspiration for creating the iconic vampire. It hasn't been confirmed who Dominic Cooper will play, but some are speculating that he may portray Mehmed, a Turkish sultan who takes Vlad under his wing. Sarah Gadon also stars as the female lead.
Gary Shore is directing from a screenplay by Burk Sharpless and Matt Sazama (Flash Gordon), with Michael De Luca producing and Alissa Phillips executive producing. No production schedule was given.
Dominic Cooper most recently starred in Dead Man Down, and will next be seen in DreamWorks' Need for Speed video game adaptation.

Dominic Cooper Joins Luke Evans In Dracula
8 May 2013 4:44 PM, PDT | We Got This Covered | See recent We Got This Covered news »
Variety is reporting that Abraham Lincoln: Vampire Hunter star Dominic Cooper is set to join Universal’s upcoming Dracula film, which recently snagged Luke Evans for the lead role. The Gary Shore-directed film also stars Sarah Gadon and is said to use a “mix of mythology and history” in order to tell the story of Prince Vlad, who was the inspiration for the iconic figure that was made popular by Bram Stroker’s novel. No word yet on who Cooper will play but it will likely be some sort of adversary, given the nature of the story.
Unfortunately, Dominic Cooper still hasn’t broken out like I predicted he would when The Devil’s Double was released. In that film, he gave a fantastic performance and ever since I’ve been watching his career closely. He starred in Dead Man Down earlier this year and has the upcoming Need »

Iron Man 3 continues to demolish the competition at the UK box office
8 May 2013 2:45 PM, PDT | Flickeringmyth | See recent Flickeringmyth news »
UK box office top ten and analysis for the weekend of Friday 3rd to Sunday 5th May 2013...
Marvel's Iron Man 3 continued its stellar box office run by sucking the life out of the rest of the UK chart for the second weekend in a row, banking £6.3m to absolutely demolish the competition and take its total haul to £24.6m. Iron Man 3 is already the highest-grossing Iron Man movie on these shores, and second only to The Avengers in terms of the Marvel Cinematic Universe (for comparison, The Avengers was on £29.8m at this point last year). Taking into account takings over the past few days, it's also second only to Les Miserables for the biggest release of the year so far - a title it should comfortably claim in the next few weeks, despite the arrival of Star Trek Into Darkness.

Iron Man 3 still holding strong while The Look of Love is sadly unrequited
8 May 2013 8:56 AM, PDT | The Guardian - Film News | See recent The Guardian - Film News news »
Three's the magic number for Shane Black's superhero sequel as it doubles the takings of Iron Man 2. Meanwhile, Michael Winterbottom's Paul Raymond biopic heads south
The winner
After four days, Iron Man 3 was running just 13% behind The Avengers at the same stage of its UK run, suggesting that the film would finish a lot closer to the superhero team-up (£51.9m) than to either of the earlier Iron Man movies. Seven days later, and it's a similar story, with Iron Man 3 at an impressive £24.6m as of Sunday night, a slim 18% behind Avengers at the same point of release. If it continues at a similar pace, Iron Man 3 should end up around £42-43m here. The first Iron Man film maxed out at £17.4m, while the sequel made it to £21.3m, so the third episode looks set to double its predecessor.

Planning to go to the cinema this week?

Peter Bradshaw said: Pedro Almodóvar's new film is a cheeky comedy about stressy homosexuals in an aeroplane going round and round in the sky without getting anywhere. There are some stressy heterosexuals as well. »

Film Review: 'Dead Man Down'
5 May 2013 11:38 AM, PDT | CineVue | See recent CineVue news »
★★☆☆☆ Whilst Danish director Niels Arden Oplev's original (and best) adaptation of Stieg Larsson's The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo (2009) possessed many notable merits, less can be said of his first foray into the American market, Dead Man Down (2013). This clumsily contrived thriller stars Colin Farrell as the strong and silent Victor, the muscle in a gang headed up by dapper don Alphonse (played by an unrestrained Terrence Howard). Victor has infiltrated the gang by carrying out whatever murderous tasks the job demands, gaining the trust of the mob boss with one sole purpose: revenge for the death of his wife and child years earlier.
Farrell's Victor anonymously taunts Alphonse through a series of unsubtle mind games, which includes leaving pieces of a photo of who his would-be-killer is. However, the plan goes awry when he is discovered knocking off a member of Alphonse's gang by his Danish neighbour, »

Dead Man Down – review
4 May 2013 4:12 PM, PDT | The Guardian - Film News | See recent The Guardian - Film News news »
Reading on mobile? See the trailer here
The Danish director Niels Arden Oplev made the inspiriting We Shall Overcome, and crossed into Sweden to direct The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo. He has however been less successful in his American debut than his compatriot Nicolas Winding Refn was with the first-class thriller Drive. Dead Man Down is confident enough and begins intriguingly with Colin Farrell as a laconic loner in New York, winning the confidence of his boss, gangster Terrence Howard, who has been receiving menacing messages from an unseen ludic avenger. He's also spotted by a female neighbour (Noomi Rapace) going about his trade as a hit man and blackmailed into undertaking a contract on the drunk who scarred her in a motoring accident. Farrell is not what he seems, but what he turns out to be isn't particularly interesting.
Dead Man Down is a self-consciously dark movie that's »

Film review: Dead Man Down. Stop right there, lads – we’ve more than enough Scandinavian gloom, thanks
4 May 2013 9:30 AM, PDT | The Independent | See recent The Independent news »
The original Swedish film of The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo was no masterpiece, but it turned Noomi Rapace into an international star, and it gave its director, Niels Arden Oplev, the pick of every screenplay in Hollywood for his English-language debut. He’s said that the script of Dead Man Down was by far the best of the 250 he read – so one can only imagine how dreary the other 249 were. »

I'm So Excited (15)
(Pedro Almodóvar, 2012, Spa) Javier Cámara, Raúl Arévalo, Carlos Areces. 90 mins
Almodóvar responds to his country's economic woes with camp hysteria and Carry On humour. In many ways this airborne disaster farce – anarchic, absurdist, garishly stylish and gleefully debauched – is a return to the Spanish auteur's subversive roots. But there's a serious subtext to the silliness, and the metaphors are brought back down to earth for a satisfying landing.
The Eye Of The Storm (15)
(Fred Schepisi, 2011, Aus) Charlotte Rampling, Geoffrey Rush, Judy Davis. 119 mins
The imminent death of Rampling's matriarch throws an aristocratic family's dysfunction into relief in this Aussie drama, whose overstuffed story is redeemed by three watchable leads.
Gimme The Loot (15)
(Adam Leon, 2012, Us) Tashiana Washington, »
