Clip joint: the best film clips featuring bridges
3 December 2009 4:31 AM, PST | The Guardian - Film News | See recent The Guardian - Film News news »
This week, nilpferd wants us all to link up, join together and only connect with the best film clips featuring bridges
Bridges are essential film furniture. And not just because they are large, iconic objects whose construction, capture or destruction can take up whole afternoon matinees. A dauntingly high bridge is the ideal suspense building bottleneck in an action film – and if it happens to be a hanging walkway with rotting boards and fraying twine, so much the worse for vertigo-stricken heroes and the better for us viewers.
Slow the pace down, and the bridge's function as a connector comes into focus – crossing it can bring irreversible changes, but it can also act as a facilitator of exchange and interaction. Yet beyond these functional roles, bridges possess magical qualities which make them ideal for cinema. Neither here nor quite there, they exist somewhere in-between.

John Madden Set to Direct My Fair Lady Remake
1 December 2009 7:18 PM, PST | FusedFilm | See recent FusedFilm news »
John Madden, no not the animated and legendary football commentator, rather the Academy Award winning British director behind Shakespeare In Love is set to direct the remake of the classic Lerner and Lowe musical, My Fair Lady, a 1964 Academy Award nominated film.
Madden is currently completing production on the Helen Mirren film The Debt for Miramax and Marv Films, will ramp up the search for his leading lady and man in the new year. It was recently reported that Keira Knightley was still attached to the project after circling the project for some time, however there is no formal agreement for her to play Eliza.
Joe Wright was also attached to direct previous to Madden’s now involvement. The pic is being produced by Duncan Kenworthy and Cameron Mackintosh, who have been attached to the project since its start. Variety who broke the news says that this remake will draw »

My Fair Lady Set For Remake?
1 December 2009 3:44 AM, PST | FilmShaft.com | See recent FilmShaft.com news »
Everybody likes a musical…don’t they? It seems Columbia Pictures and Brit helmer John Madden do. Variety report that My Fair Lady is looking a likely prospect for a shoot in 2010. It has been over forty years since Rex Harrison and Audrey Hepburn warbled through George Cuckor’s classic – and everybody knows nothing is sacred in Hollywood.
It seems things are gearing up for a re-hash, remake, re-imagining, etc. Rumour has it (which means little) Keira Knightley is circling like a shark around the role of Eliza Doolittle. It won’t be anything too radical with Duncan Kenworthy and John Madden steering the project. At one point, Baz Luhrmann was attached.
The producer and director are location hunting for period London buildings circa 1912. The new version intends on sticking close to the original play by George Bernard Shaw than the 1964 film. If there are any worries Knightley can’t sing, »

John Madden Directing My Fair Lady?
1 December 2009 3:25 AM, PST | Screenrush | See recent Screenrush news »
After we dispelled the rumours that Joe Wright was set to direct a remake of George Cukor's masterpiece My Fair Lady - the one with Audrey Hepburn and Rex Harrison - all has been quiet for a month or so, but now we hear from Variety that the Shakespeare in Love director John Madden is closing in on the project.
According to the trade daily, seasoned producer Duncan Kenworthy (Love Actually, Notting Hill etc. etc.) and stage impressario Cameron Mackintosh are producing the project which will retain the 1963 score but go back to the original source (Pygmalion by George Bernard Shaw) for a little bit of fresh drama.
To be honest, the less we think about this project the better - especially considering that Keira Knightley's name is still connected with the main role. We love the original and genuinely think that some things should remain sacred... what do you think? »
My Fair Lady Remake Finally Lands a Director in John Madden
1 December 2009 2:18 AM, PST | firstshowing.net | See recent FirstShowing.net news »
This 1956 Broadway musical has already been given the big screen treatment before as a 1964 Academy Award nominated adaptation starring Audrey Hepburn. However, another remake of the classic My Fair Lady has been in the works for some time now with names like Danny Boyle and Baz Luhrmann attached to direct at various points in development. Now it looks like the Columbia Pictures project has found a director as Variety reports that Shakespeare in Love director John Madden will helm the project and search for his leading lady and gentleman in the new year after completing production on the The Debt with Helen Mirren. Madden's search for a lead actor and actress just might mean that the previously interested Keira Knightley may have gone out the window with also once attached director Joe Wright (Pride & Prejudice). So now it's anybody's guess just who will fill the shoes of Eliza ... »

Joe Wright Was Directing My Fair Lady, And Now He’s Not, And Now John Madden Is, And That’s The Way It Is…Boom
1 December 2009 12:30 AM, PST | Beyond Hollywood | See recent Beyond Hollywood news »
Hall-of-Famer John Madden announced his stunning retirement earlier this year, leaving the NFL without its most famous ambassador for the first time since before cavemen could paint on walls, but Variety is announcing that he has come out of retirement to apparently direct the remake of My Fair Lady, which is based on a 1956 play starring Julia Andrews and Rex Harrison (itself based on a musical called Pygmalion) that was later turned into the first theatrical version starring Harrison and Audrey Hepburn. The remake will star Brett Favre as Eliza Doolittle. Brett Favre will also play the part of Henry Higgins. He’ll play every part, really. The title of the film will be changed to Brett Favre is Brett Favre. At the end of the film, the cast of Brett Favres will be so overwhelming that it will cause the celluloid to spontaneously combust. (Puts hand in ear John Stewart style) What’s that? »

Columbia Pictures to Remake ‘My Fair Lady’
30 November 2009 9:44 PM, PST | Atomic Popcorn | See recent Atomic Popcorn news »
Really, Hollywood? You’re giving us another remake? Great.
This time, Columbia Pictures is tackling the Audrey Hepburn classic My Fair Lady, the story of a flower girl’s transformation to fit in high society under the guidance of a snobby professor.
My Fair Lady itself was actually based off George Bernard Shaw’s play Pygmalion, although it did stray from the original story a bit. In what I think is a good move on Columbia’s part, the new film will closely follow the story of Pygmalion, rather than base itself off the first movie version. This should help create some distinction between the two movies, rather than the new film just feeling like a knock off.
The film won’t be updated from its original setting, but will still take place in 1912 London and feature the same London locations.
Several directors have already been considered to take on the project, »

A Serious Man and the odd movie out
29 November 2009 1:30 PM, PST | The Guardian - Film News | See recent The Guardian - Film News news »
A Serious Man may be getting rave reviews – but it's like nothing the Coens have made before. Joe Queenan on weird one-offs and the directors who make them
About halfway through the very funny, very disturbing, very ethnic new film A Serious Man, the modern-day Job who is the serious man in question climbs up on to the roof of his ghastly 1960s Minneapolis suburban home and tries to adjust the antenna to improve his TV reception. Beleaguered on all fronts – conjugally, professionally, medically – Larry Gopnik, a dorky physics professor who may be about to lose his job and is very likely to lose his family, is a bright, principled Jewish man whose children have begged him to fix the antenna so they can watch F Troop, an idiotic 1960s comedy. Many of Larry's travails unfold as songs from Jefferson Airplane's seminal 1967 LP Surrealistic Pillow play in the background. »

'New Moon' Costume Designer Talks About Signature Looks

Entertainment Weekly has a great new interview with New Moon and Eclipse costume designer Tish Monaghan to talk about the looks of New Moons leading men. In their chat Tish talked about getting rid of Edwards signature peacoat from Twilight how it was dressing the saga newbies like the wolfpack and Volturi what piece of clothing shell expect every TwiFan to want and much more.Tell me about dressing the Volturi.I knew that one scene involved the painting somewhere in the 1700s coming to life and them walking into their chamber to don their robes. It was really important to get the right shape and to ensure the audience that they were judicial robes because they are sitting in judgment. I did a lot of research into judicial gowns I looked at a lot of religious paintings from the 1300s and 1400s. For each of the three prime Volturi »

You have to immediately like a costume designer who'll admit that she's wearing sweatpants while chatting with you from her Vancouver home. We phoned Tish Monaghan, who took over styling duties for The Twilight Saga: New Moon and Eclipse, to talk about how Edward ended up in a suit, why Jacob's muscles are bulging through his shirt (when he actually wears one), what department mandated that the wolf pack's jean shorts be extra tight, and more. Entertainment Weekly: Anyone who's listened to the Twilight DVD commentary knows that Robert Pattinson wasn't a fan of Edward's pea coat. Tish Monaghan: »

Jose Gives Thanks.

Jose here.
Although we don't have anything resembling Thanksgiving in my culture (Penélope Cruz was talking about that on Letterman the other day) I have a special place in my heart (and stomach) for turkey, gravy and pumpkin pie.
I also feel very grateful for the following: Technicolor, Woody Allen banter, Judy Garland's smile, the millisecond of suspense between normal talking and spontaneous singing in the musicals, post-Volver Penélope, the Truffaut/Hitchcock book, still being thrilled by the sepia-to-color switch in The Wizard of Oz, Nino Rota and La Strada, Julia Roberts' laugh, Scarlett and Rhett, Bette Davis' eyes, Ingrid Bergman's Italian phase, Jett Rink, Jacques Tourneur horror flicks, The Blob, pre-supermom Gwyneth, Wall-e, Jean-Pierre Léaud, Anne Hathaway at award shows, Brando as Kowalski, Meryl!, Gene Kelly's butt, subtitles...

Will Any 2009 Film Couple Last a Lifetime?

1. Natalie Portman and Tobey Maguire. 2. Robert Pattinson and Kristen Stewart. 3. Peter Sarsgaard and Carey Mulligan. 4. Claire Danes and Zac Efron. 5. Joseph Gordon-Levitt and Zooey Deschanel. From PatrickMcMullan.com. Every generation has great on-screen duos, from the classic chemistry between Katharine Hepburn and Spencer Tracy to the modern-day pairing of Tom Hanks and Meg Ryan. But over the past week, at Cinema Society screenings of Twilight, Brothers, and Me and Orson Welles, we started to wonder whether any recent big-screen twosome has enough staying power to last through the decades. There's been a spate of fresh film couplings this year, including Natalie Portman and Tobey Maguire in Brothers; Robert Pattinson and Kristen Stewart in Twilight; Carey Mulligan and Peter Sarsgaard in An Education; Claire Danes and Zac Efron in Me and Orson Welles; and Joseph Gordon-Levitt and Zooey Deschanel in (500) Days of Summer. Do any of these duos have what it »
Divya Dutta Inaugurates Iffi

The International Film Festival of India got off to a flying start yesterday with the Chinese period movie Wheat, a powerful story of the women left behind when their husbands go off to war. The movie stars the exceptionally beautiful Fan Bing Bing, looking like a cross between Asin and Audrey Hepburn. Divya Dutta and Kabir Bedi welcomed the Festival's chief guest Waheeda Rehman to the opening ceremony. Waheeda was accompanied amongst others by Asin and Nana Patekar. Mammootty will also be joining the Festival later as a chief guest.
Divya's latest project is the fascinating Hindi-Rajasthani bilingual movie Haat which was premiered recently at the Mumbai Film Festival. The film is based upon the old Rajasthani custom of Natha Pratha which states that if a woman wants to leave her husband, the woman's family must pay the husband compensation. Always interesting in her choice of roles, Divya is also »
Penelope Cruz in Red and White
19 November 2009 1:30 PM, PST | Huffington Post | See recent Huffington Post news »
Pedro Almodovar's love affair with his leading lady is legend, as is his romance with movie stars of old. In his new movie, Broken Embraces, the Closing Night feature of the recent New York Film Festival that will open on Friday, he casts Penelope Cruz as a call girl/actress in a movie within the movie; with wigs and wardrobe she morphs into Sophia Loren, Marilyn Monoe, Anna Magnani, Audrey Hepburn. He also plays with the now familiar Almodovar tropes: hidden identity in the case of Mateo Blanco/Harry Caine, his surrogate filmmaker, and the young man Diego who will find out who his father is. Early on in this melodrama of revenge, Mateo/Harry tells the story of Arthur Miller and his Down Syndrome son with the photographer Inge Morath, which essentially becomes a tale of son-to-father forgiveness. Teasing out these strands... »

Hepburn's Dresses Go Under The Hammer
18 November 2009 4:16 AM, PST | WENN | See recent WENN news »
A collection of Audrey Hepburn's most glamorous dresses is set to be auctioned in London next month.
The Breakfast At Tiffany's icon passed on many of her movie costumes to pal Tanja Star-Busmann, who has decided to put 36 designer items dating from 1953 until the late 1960s under the hammer.
Buyers can bid for lots including a Givenchy silk gown, which was worn by the actress in Paris When It Sizzles, and a lace cocktail dress from How To Steal A Million.
And superfans can even get their hands on a very personal Hepburn outfit - the wedding dress she had designed for her planned marriage to British Lord, James Hanson. The actress later gave away the gown to a poor Italian girl when she cancelled her nuptials.
A series of letters describing her rise to movie stardom will also be up for grabs.
The sale will take place at Kerry Taylor Auctions on 8 December in the British capital, with 50 per cent of the proceeds raised going to The Audrey Hepburn Children's Fund.
In May, a rare stamp bearing the image of Hepburn smoking was sold for a staggering $93,800 (£62,530) at an auction in Germany. »

What can you say about someone whose list of interests include horror movies, anime, video games, guns and bows, serial killers, and kung fu movies? Well if you’re talking about Nikki Kruex, you can say that you’re just scratching the surface of this actress, model, musician, paranormal investigator and artistic Jill-of-all-trades...

Linda Eder Comes To The Van Wezel 12/9 With A Holiday Concert
9 November 2009 2:18 PM, PST | BroadwayWorld.com | See recent BroadwayWorld.com news »
Linda Eder, the songstress whose larger-than-life voice has been called "the human equivalent of a Stradivarius" (theatermania.com) returns to the Van Wezel Performing Arts Hall on Wednesday, Dec. 9 with a concert of holiday songs and favorites from her CDs. Tickets to the concert, at 8 p.m., are $40-$55 (with a limited number of "smart seats" at $10).
Often compared to Barbra Streisand and Judy Garland, two of her musical influences, the Minnesota native first captured public attention with her unprecedented 12- week winning streak on the TV show Star Search. The success expanded her fan base nationally and led to a leading role as Lucy Harris in the 1990 Broadway- bound musical Jekyll & Hyde. The mainstay of Eder's career, however, remains the concert stage.
Reviewing a recent concert, Chicago Tribune Arts Editor Howard Reich raved that Eder has "the most voluptuous voice in pop music today."
