Shirley Anne Field, the British leading lady who starred alongside Laurence Olivier in The Entertainer, Albert Finney in Saturday Night and Sunday Morning, and Kenneth More in Man in the Moon — all in 1960 — has died. She was 87.
“It is with great sadness that we are sharing the news that Shirley Anne Field passed away peacefully on Sunday, Dec. 10, surrounded by her family and friends,” a spokesperson announced.
“Shirley Anne will be greatly missed and remembered for her unbreakable spirit and her amazing legacy spanning more than five decades on stage and screen.”
For her first Hollywood film, Field passed up John Schlesinger’s A Kind of Loving to star opposite Steve McQueen and Robert Wagner in the World War II drama The War Lover (1962). It was a decision she would regret, she explained in a 2009 interview.
“I finally had a chance to go to Hollywood and become a worldwide name.

British writer Martin Amis, the author of the book “The Zone of Interest,” has died at 73. News of his death comes just one day after the big-screen adaptation of his 2014 novel premiered at the Cannes Film Festival to rave reviews.
The New York Times reports that Amis died of esophageal cancer, as confirmed by his wife, the writer Isabel Fonseca. He died at the family’s home in Lake Worth, Florida.
Amis published 15 novels over the course of his career, a number of which were adapted for screen. “Under the Skin” director Jonathan Glazer’s treatment of Amis’ chilling Nazi drama “The Zone of Interest” is one of the buzziest premieres to come out of Cannes so far.

A few months back, I had the opportunity to see a movie called Ghosted. It was in preparation to speak to the film’s director, Dexter Fletcher. At the time, I wasn’t aware of anything about the film, aside from it featured Chris Evans and Ana de Armas. And I was also very familiar with Dexter, both as an actor and a filmmaker as well. Yet when I watched the film, it was nothing like I’d expected from the opening first few minutes. Ghosted ended up being a wild, funny, and romantic adventure. The genre-mashing feature is a delight, and I recommend going in knowing as little as possible.
Sitting down for an extended chat with Mr. Fletcher was quite entertaining. We started off chatting about an early performance for the actor in The Rachel Papers, and then jumped into action. The discussion went into casting this project,...

Arriving in the midst of Goldie Hawn’s last real prolific period in the early-to-mid 1990s, the Damian Harris (son of actor Richard Harris and brother of Jared) directed thriller Deceived was an attempt to re-package the bubbly blonde’s rom-com reputation (which Hawn followed with the equally unsuccessful CrissCross in 1992). At the time, the film (originally titled The Mrs.) was an interesting package, however, considering the involvement of several key players.
While Hawn was hot off Bird on a Wire (1990), this was Brit director Harris’ follow-up to the well-received The Rachel Papers (1989), and scribe Mary Agnes Donoghue would…...

A killer robot powered by baby brains. Kirk Douglas wrestling in the nude. Ryan revisits the very weird 80s sci-fi movie, Saturn 3...
Some movies aspire to strangeness. Other movies have strangeness thrust upon them.
Saturn 3, released in 1980, was an intensely strange film. But unlike, say, Altered States (also released in 1980) it wasn’t made by a filmmaker with a taste for the oblique or the outre. Unlike Luigi Cozzi’s Contamination (1980 again), Saturn 3 wasn’t a low-budget shocker made in a hurry, but a relatively expensive exercise created by some of the most seasoned filmmakers in the business at that time. (For frame of reference, Saturn 3's budget was broadly the same as Alien’s, released less than one year earlier.)

Long gestating Martin Amis adaptation starts shooting, with Katy Perry promo director Matthew Cullen on board
• Read our 2001 interview with Martin Amis
It has languished in Hollywood purgatory for well over a decade while directors of the calibre of David Cronenberg, Michael Winterbottom and Shekhar Kapur have come and gone. But Martin Amis's most celebrated novel, London Fields, is finally due to begin shooting today in the British capital with a high-profile cast that includes Amber Heard, Billy Bob Thornton and Jim Sturgess.
Guillermo del Toro protege Mathew Cullen will make his feature film debut on the project after cutting his teeth on commercials and music videos, as well as overseeing the prologue for the Mexican film-maker's current blockbuster Pacific Rim. The big screen version, the screenplay for which Amis has written himself with Roberta Hanley, does not look to have diverted too far from the 1989 novel. It centres...

Once readied for adaptation by David Cronenberg (before he decided to move on to another seemingly unfilmable book with Cosmopolis), Martin Amis’ London Fields is now in the hands of first-time feature director Mathew Cullen, who definitely has nothing to lose. Deadline reports that production on London Fields is currently underway, and it boasts the most famous cast for an Amis adaptation yet. Of course, considering that list is limited to The Rachel Papers and Dead Babies, a.k.a. Mood Swingers, that’s not saying much (with apologies to Ione Skye). Still, Amber Heard is playing Nicola, the manipulative ...

Richard Branson company to produce feature film based on Robert Greenfield's book about chaotic making of classic album
A book detailing one of the most tumultuous periods of The Rolling Stones is set to be turned into a film via Richard Branson's production company Virgin Produced, reports Deadline Hollywood.
Robert Greenfield's Exile on Main Street: A Season in Hell with the Rolling Stones examines the troubled genesis of the group's 10th UK album. The critically acclaimed record that includes the hits Rocks Off and Tumbling Dice, was made during recording sessions that were notoriously chaotic. The band, who had left Britain as tax exiles, decamped to the Villa Nellcôte in the south of France to record the double album. Drugs, alcohol and a stream of visiting celebrity friends (including William S Burroughs and Gram Parsons) were constant distractions, while the relationship between Mick Jagger and Keith Richards...

London Fields, which centres on a woman who arranges her death, to be helmed by Indian director of Elizabeth
Despite his often-professed love for cinema, film versions of Martin Amis novels have had a difficult history. The movie of Money never materialised, ending up as a TV series instead; Dead Babies and The Rachel Papers were both derided on release, and the London Fields adaptation has been in limbo for more than a decade.
But, with a new director on board, it looks as though a cinematic version of London Fields could be on the cards. Speaking to the Hollywood Reporter website at the Film Bazaar in Goa, a market backed by the Indian government, Shekhar Kapur, the director of Bandit Queen, said: "I'm looking forward to this project because I've never directed a murder mystery."

Over the last twenty-five years there have been several attempts to bring the worlds of Martin Amis to the big screen with Dexter Fletcher’s turn as Charles Highway in The Rachel Papers being the most successful so far.
Paul Bettany and Olivia Williams led William Marsh’s adaptation of Amis’s Dead Babies in 2000, re-titled and shunted straight to video in the States under the safer title of Mood Swingers, but it is a mostly forgotten work leaving the only decent stab at an Amis book on-screen being the BBC adaptation of Money with Nick Frost a suitably fatuous John Self.

Despite his literary fame, Martin Amis’ work has often proved tough to adapt for the screen. Money was turned into a two-part TV drama last year and both The Rachel Papers and Dead Babies have hit cinemas. Now, though, Shekhar Kapur is taking on the challenge of bringing London Fields to life.Set in the capital in 1999, the book is narrated by Samson Young, an American writer arriving in the city who has been struggling with writer’s block for two decades. Now terminally ill, he discovers a story just waiting to be written – a sprawling, darkly comic tale of a psychic investigating her own murder.London Fields has long been a target of filmmakers, and the rights were picked up in 2000. David Cronenberg was attached for a while, with Amis taking a crack at the script. But Cronenberg moved on, to be replaced by David Mackenzie and then Michael Winterbottom.

Martin Amis, one of Britain’s most famous novelists, has reportedly passed a sarcastic remark on the Royal Family. He has called them philistines. The author of bestsellers like The Rachel Papers and Money also portrayed the Queen as a woman who never listens and said Prince Charles has “a pig’s snore”. “I’ve met the Queen, indeed, along with other writers on I don’t know which occasions anymore,” the Daily quoted Amis as telling French magazine Le Nouvel Observateur. “The problem is that the Queen doesn’t listen to what you say to her because she is not supposed to understand the remarks that one ...

Martin Amis has never admitted exactly where the inspiration came from for his classic 80s work Money. Could it be the scriptwriting stint he had on the much-derided sci-fi film Saturn 3?
Fans of Mad Men currently suffering from withdrawal after the end of the third season, and fans of Martin Amis's greatest novel, Money (1984) – I'm incidentally guessing there's a sizeable overlap between the two groups – have something exciting to look forward to. The BBC is soon to broadcast a two-part adaptation of the Amis novel as part of its 80s season, starring Vincent Kartheiser, who plays the creepy, tormented ad exec Pete Campbell in Mad Men.
Nick Frost is to play John Self, the alcoholic, junk food- and porn-addicted ad director who in the era of the Lady Di wedding gets a glimpse of serious riches when a smooth American producer, Fielding Goodney, claims to want to develop...
