James Franco Surprisingly Went and Made It to Cannes Again
17 May 2013 11:00 AM, PDT | TooFab | See recent TooFab news »
The film in question, an adaption of William Faulkner's "As I Lay Dying," is a movie of the same name, directed by James Franco. Oh, and he stars in it, too, because of course he does. But wait! Don't let that turn you off -- as it appears, the trailer looks pretty interesting, and if we're lucky, the award-nominated film that premieres at Cannes this year might make it to the Us for release. "As I Lay Dying" is definitely a more somber departure from James' recent projects (like "Oz: The Great and Powerful." And "Spring Breakers"), and revolves around a family in preparation for their mother's burial, all according to her last wishes. The moral of the story (well, this story; not Faulkner's story) is that if nothing else, James Franco is one ambitious dude. Even if you think he's pretty obnoxious and can't get the image of »

John Lesher’s Le Grisbi Teams With Dcm Productions For ‘The Kings Of Rome’
17 May 2013 9:06 AM, PDT | Deadline New York | See recent Deadline New York news »
Exclusive: John Lesher‘s Le Grisbi Productions is teamed with Dcm Productions on The Kings Of Rome, a script that will be written by Don MacPherson. The writer penned the upcoming BBC mini Fleming, detailing the exploits of James Bond creator Ian Fleming during WWII. The drama is about an American investigator sent to Rome to collect a debt. There, he gets sucked into a Dantean underworld of corruption, sex and murder that reaches to the highest echelons of the Vatican. It’s the second pic Lesher is doing with Dcm; they are teamed on Harmony Korine’s untitled followup to Spring Breakers. Dcm is a Berlin-based production company which co-financed and produced the Dustin Hoffman-directed Quartet, and the Best Foreign Language nominee Kon-Tiki.

Cannes 2013. Dialogues: Sofia Coppola's "The Bling Ring"
16 May 2013 6:14 PM, PDT | MUBI | See recent MUBI news »
The Bling Ring (Sofia Coppola, USA)
Un Certain Regard
The first of a series of "dialogue" dispatches from Cannes: Adam Cook & Daniel Kasman discuss the latest from Sofia Coppola, the opening film in Un Certain Regard.
Daniel Kasman: The Bling Ring comes on top of a consecutive series of hyper-stylized and seemingly sympathetic portraits of American consumer culture, aspirations and dreams, Harmony Korine's Spring Breakers and Michael Bay's Pain & Gain. Do you see this film as connected to those?
Adam Cook: Absolutely. Clearly, it's the tamest of the three in terms of its approach but nevertheless is concerned with the same set of (specifically American?) themes of image-obsessed lifestyles. I feel as though each of them compliments each other well as their specific interests diverge but collectively illuminate different takes on the tragic pursuit of the American dream—though it's necessary to point out Pain & Gain is »

Cannes 2013: Sofia Coppola's 'The Bling Ring' is Empty Entertainment
16 May 2013 1:45 PM, PDT | firstshowing.net | See recent FirstShowing.net news »
This seems to be the year of the exaggerated "American dream" and excess along with it being highlighted in films. Besides Spring Breakers and Pain & Gain, one of the other exposes on excess is the latest film from Sofia Coppola, title The Bling Ring. I've been anticipating this ever since the first trailers hit and caught the first premiere of it at the Cannes Film Festival. Unlike Spring Breakers, the film doesn't have any depth, or nuance, or dark humor, it's nothing but a hollow, lightweight portrayal of excess and a group of vacuous teens obsessed with it. Yea, there's fun underage larceny going on but that's about it. There's not much else. The story in Bling Ring is based on real events from a few years ago, about a group of lavish, shallow teens obsessed with celebrities who lackadaisically decide to rob their houses when they're out of town. »

'Bling Ring' Gets Picture Perfect Opening
16 May 2013 12:33 PM, PDT | Huffington Post | See recent Huffington Post news »
Cannes, France — Sofia Coppola was just 8 years old when she first came to the Cannes Film Festival. Her father, Francis Ford Coppola, was there to premiere a work-in-progress cut of a film he had spent years wrestling with: "Apocalypse Now."
"I have nice memories of Cannes," Coppola said in an interview Thursday on the roof of the Palais, the festival center. "I remember coming here as a kid and then my first movie, `Virgin Suicides,' had our first screening ever here. I feel like my career started here."
Growing up in such surroundings, one would think, would have heavily informed Coppola's latest film, "The Bling Ring," a deadpan drama about celebrity-obsessed teenagers in Los Angeles who break into the homes of Paris Hilton and other stars. But Coppola says the movie world she grew up in isn't the same as today's star-crazed culture.
"I definitely noticed that people would act different around my dad. »

The First Word On 'Bling Ring' Is ...
16 May 2013 7:43 AM, PDT | Huffington Post | See recent Huffington Post news »
Sofia Coppola hasn't had the best of luck at the Cannes Film Festival: her 2006 film "Marie Antoinette" was booed by the finicky cinephiles who attend the prestigious annual event. Fortunately for Coppola, there were no such jeers, at least audibly, when "The Bling Ring" debuted at the 2013 incarnation of Cannes.
"Coppola's uproarious and bitingly timely film feels every inch a necessary artwork: the story is closely based on a string of true events that occurred in 2008 and 2009, but if it hadn’t actually happened, someone -– Coppola, probably -– would have to make it up," wrote Telegraph critic Robbie Collin in a four-star-out-of-five review.
Starring Katie Chang, Israel Broussard and an against-type Emma Watson as a character based on Alexis Neiers, "The Bling Ring" focuses on a group of California teens who robbed the rich and famous of their designer clothes and assorted bling. The film is based on the real-life Bling Ring, »

Cannes 2013 Review: The Bling Ring Pawns Character for Coolness
16 May 2013 7:30 AM, PDT | Twitch | See recent Twitch news »
It's difficult to talk much about Sofia Coppola's latest The Bling Ring without addressing this year's other cute-teens-as-criminals film Spring Breakers -- so let's just get the comparisons out of the way right off the bat. While both films can be accused of glorifying crime by taking voyeuristic trips into the lives of good kids gone bad, Harmony Korines's film does it with scathing sensationalist satire that simultaneously disarms the audience and inserts a distance from the acts portrayed. By contrast, Coppola's take on her true-story subject matter is a totally straightforward telling that goes so far to include documentary elements. The result is a glorification of the kids' lifestyle that relies on the true conclusion's punishment to deliver her message. It's the opposite...

The Bling Ring: Cannes Review
16 May 2013 3:35 AM, PDT | The Hollywood Reporter | See recent The Hollywood Reporter news »
Following on the heels of Spring Breakers and Pain & Gain, Sofia Coppola’s The Bling Ring completes a triptych of 2013 films about incredibly stupid people doing incredibly stupid criminal things viewed from strikingly ambivalent, noncommittal directorial perspectives. Shot in a gliding, gently intoxicating style that lightly suggests that this “based on actual events” story could be taking place in a dream (or, more to the point, an altered state), this is a too-cool-for-school portrait of spoiled kids achieving dubious but welcome fame for robbing the homes of young Hollywood celebrities. As such, it will attain a

Cannes Film Review: ‘The Bling Ring’
16 May 2013 3:30 AM, PDT | Variety - Film News | See recent Variety - Film News news »
When future generations want to understand how we lived at the dawn of the plugged-in, privacy-free, Paris Hilton-ized 21st century, there will likely be few films more instructive than “The Bling Ring.” A spiritual sequel of sorts to “The Social Network,” Sofia Coppola’s fact-based tale of the 2008-09 crime spree by a gang of enterprising SoCal teens targeting the homes of high-profile celebrities reps a return to more pop, accessible filmmaking for the “Lost in Translation” auteur following the austere “Somewhere” (which earned only $1.7 million domestically). Though it lacks the name cast and self-consciously outre style of another recent girls-gone-wild opus, “Spring Breakers,” this lively and fascinating pic should score well with its target hipster demo, delivering solid arthouse numbers for upstart distrib A24, which plans a June release Stateside.

Which of His Own Movies Does James Franco Think "Sucks"?
15 May 2013 2:00 PM, PDT | TooFab | See recent TooFab news »
James Franco has been in a few stinkers through the years -- but there's one movie even he admits is pure trash.So, which movie does the star of such poorly-rated flicks as "Tristan & Isolde," "Annapolis," "Flyboys" and "Eat Pray Love" cite as a career low point?The answer: "Your Highness."The medieval comedy, which costarred Natalie Portman, Danny McBride and Zooey Deschanel, was released in 2011 and currently has a horrible 26% on Rotten Tomatoes.“Your Highness? That movie sucks. You can’t get around that," Franco says in the June issue of GQ.This isn't the first time that Franco has publicly criticized one of his own films. While promoting "Spring Breakers," James told Badass Digest that "Annapolis" was "a really bad movie" -- adding that "it didn't turn out very well" and he "ended up not liking the experience and not liking the movie."Ouch, biting the hand that feeds much? »

James Franco Reviews Luhrmann's 'Great Gatsby,' Calls Out Negative Reviewers as 'Hypocrites'
15 May 2013 10:49 AM, PDT | Thompson on Hollywood | See recent Thompson on Hollywood news »
Insatiable multi-tasker James Franco is back at film criticism again, and this time has a few words to impart on Baz Luhrmann's "The Great Gatsby," which opens the Cannes Film Festival today before the film's European roll-out. Franco's a fan, and calls out the critics who "ravaged the film for not being loyal to the book [as] hypocrites." Highlights below. Adaptations of hallowed American classics are close to Franco's heart right now, as his version of William Faulkner's "As I Lay Dying" (which he wrote, directed and stars in) has a place in the Un Certain Regard section of this year's lineup. Watch the trailer here. Franco's dabbling in practically every artistic medium hasn't seemed to hurt his 2013 box office appeal, as polar opposites "Oz the Great and Powerful" (in which he gratingly plays the eponymous lead) and Harmony Korine's "Spring Breakers" (in which he brilliantly plays a »

Parents Still Don't Understand: Jaden Smith Seeks Emancipation From Will
15 May 2013 8:39 AM, PDT | NextMovie | See recent NextMovie news »
Jaden Smith, who starred for his superstar father in "The Karate Kid" remake and stars alongside him in this month's potential franchise-starter "After Earth," is now seeking emancipation, apparently. According to the always-reliable (snort) UK tabloid The Sun (via the Daily Beast), Jaden wants to be emancipated from Will Smith and Jada Pinkett Smith when the young actor turns 15 on July 8.
"I know if we can do this, he can be an emancipated minor, because he really wants his own place, like ooh," Will Smith said. Will went on to tell the paper that he knows how it feels (he is, after all, the author of the immortal teen rebellion anthem "Parents Just Don't Understand"), although he and Jada aren't exactly strict disciplinarians.
Jaden is something of an entrepreneur, just like his father, having created a lifestyle/clothing like called Msftsrep (which we assume translates from tween to English as »

James Franco Covers GQ, Reveals Which One of His Films He Thinks "Sucks"

It seems James Franco has no problem laughing at himself. So it kind of makes sense that the Spring Breakers star would appear on the cover of GQ's June comedy issue. "My public persona is something that is only partially constructed by me, so if people want to mock that, it's fine," he self-deprecatingly tells the magazine. "I mock it." Franco even goes so far as to take a jab at one of his critically maligned films. "Your Highness? That movie sucks," he says. "You can't get around that." Of course, the same arguably can't be said about Pineapple Express, which Franco, like fans of the flick, would love to see get a sequel. "I »
James Franco can laugh at himself

James Franco is comfortable mocking himself. The 35-year-old Hollywood heartthrob - who has starred in various spoof videos, some of were created by him to ridicule himself - is comfortable with people poking fun at him because he can laugh at himself. Speaking in the special June comedy issue of America's GQ magazine, Franco mused: 'My public persona is something that is only partially constructed by me, so if people want to mock that, it's fine. I mock it.' James - who was recently romantically linked to his 'Spring Breakers' co-star Ashley Benson - stars as an exaggerated version of himself in upcoming apocalyptic comedy 'This Is The End'.

James Franco Takes On Classic
14 May 2013 6:35 AM, PDT | Huffington Post | See recent Huffington Post news »
There's no rest for James Franco, who continues to add on to his busy year with the newly released trailer for his adaptation of William Faulkner's "As I Lay Dying."
Franco wrote, directed and stars in the update on the novel, which had yet to receive a film version prior to the 35-year-old Oscar nominee's efforts. The trailer offers a stylistic blend of Terrence Malick's idyllic nature imagery, furtive camerawork and contemplative narration, along with the Coen Brothers' gritty Southern-gothic tone.
Often considered one of the greatest American novels, Faulker's 1930 book tells the story of Addie Bundren's death and her impoverished family's subsequent quest to bury her in Jefferson, Miss., according to her wishes. Franco portrays Darl Bundren, the second-oldest child, while Tim Blake Nelson plays the patriarch Anse. The film also stars Danny McBride as Vernon Tull, a friend of the family, and Ahna O'Reilly ("The Help, »

James Franco is one of GQ magazine's cover boys for the June comedy issue, and he's not just showing his silly side. The 35-year-old Spring Breakers star is also rather candid about his public persona, the worst movie he's ever made and whether we can ever expect a Pineapple Express sequel.
"My public persona is something that is only partially constructed by me, so if people want to mock that, it's fine," the actor/musician/poet/student tells GQ. "I mock it."
