Starz set to spill Spartacus: Blood and Sand in January
7 hours ago | AOL - TVSquad | See recent AOL - TVSquad news »
"I am Spartacus!"
Okay. No, I'm not. But if Starz's Spartacus: Blood and Sand is any good, it could reintroduce a new generation of fans to the legend of a slave taking on an empire. The original Stanley Kubrick-directed classic is an immortal part of entertainment history, but it's one of those films that you don't see on TV much in the age of DVDs.
According to a network release, Starz will premiere their take on Spartacus in 13 one-hour episodes kicking off Friday, January 22nd at 10 p.m. If you see previews for the series and get flashbacks to 300, you're not imagining things. It's clear the producers tapped into that stylized, graphic novel style for the show's visuals.
Shot in New Zealand, the show employs CGI, digital imaging tricks and other cinematic effects to sweeten the show's look.

7 hours ago | HollywoodChicago.com | See recent HollywoodChicago.com news »
Chicago – Tony Curtis, who rolled into town to introduce his classic “Some Like it Hot” – December 5th and 6th at the Hollywood Palms in Naperville, Il – has a sharp and voracious intelligence, plus the adventurous life story to share.
In his new book, “The Making of Some Like it Hot,” Curtis relates the incredible Hollywood tale about how two big stars, he and Jack Lemmon, dressed up as women and collided with the incomparable Marilyn Monroe and director Billy Wilder to create a true American cinema masterpiece.
HollywoodChicago’s Patrick McDonald and photog Joe Arce encountered Tony Curtis in the lobby of the new Trump Hotel. While under the Christmas tree, Curtis regaled us with the account of his first ever trip to Chicago, appearing in a play at the Yiddish Theater on Ogden and Kedzie.
Known as Bernie Schwartz in those days, Curtis told us that he had to »

2 December 2009 1:43 PM, PST | HeyUGuys.co.uk | See recent HeyUGuys news »
Regular readers will know that Hug is a one stop nexus for all your movie wants but we’re also conscious of the fact that other sites can only provide you with information about the film culture of This universe.

World AIDS Day, Pudgy 'New Moon' Werewolves And '2012' In Today's Twitter-Wood
1 December 2009 3:30 PM, PST | MTV Movies Blog | See recent MTV Movies Blog news »
If you noticed an abnormal amount of red in your Twitter feed today, it's because much of the Twitterverse and Twitter-Wood population was observing World AIDS Day. Russell Brand, Paris Hilton, Virginia Madsen and Ashton Kutcher were among those tweeting for awareness -- though Brand predictably did so with lighter sensibilities.
In other tweetage, Rainn Wilson has officially attempted to sooth any offense John Cusack might have taken from a comment he made about "2012." Check out the exchange after the jump along with the "New Moon" wolf pack as you've never seen them before, an epic Stanley Kubrick book and Diablo Cody's kitty litter smell problems.

Stephen King Writing “The Shining” Sequel
26 November 2009 12:55 PM, PST | Filmofilia | See recent Filmofilia news »
Stephen King is writing a sequel to his cult classic “The Shining.”
“The Shining” was released in 1977 and was adapted into a Stanley Kubrick film in 1980, starring Jack Nicholson, Danny Lloyd, and Shelley Duvall.
According to the Torontoist, the 62-year-old novelist was at the Canon Theater in Toronto last week, treating fans to a 15-minute reading from his new book, “Under the Dome.” While there, King casually remarked about an idea that he began working on.
The second novel would center on Danny Torrance, the young boy from the original story with the gift of being able to communicate clairvoyantly with ghosts, and who is now an appropriately aged 40-year-old. All these years after being tormented by the spiritual inhabitants of the Overlook Hotel and his father’s alcoholism/homicidal rage, Danny is now working at a hospice using his supernatural powers for palliative purposes. King even offered a tentative »

Clip joint: gangs

This week on Clip Joint, AJBee tries to rouse the rabble as he turns the spotlight on cinema's best gangs
In a world that's falling apart – or even just coming apart at the seams a little – we all need others to cling to for support. Strength comes in numbers, but also in togetherness. In cinema we can see that tribal feeling from 2001: A Space Odyssey's prehistoric man to the gangs of 60s Glasgow, or 80s Brighton. The protruding foreheads remain, only the accents alter.
Gangs provide a sense of belonging and identity, as well as protection from foes. They can also exclude, as so many high school-set teen flicks testify. We wrap our modern tribal behaviour in colours and call it sport, which begat other kinds of gangs, too often lionised in modern British cinema. But gang culture is common to every echelon of society, from the streets »
Shining: the sequel?
26 November 2009 | Cineman.ch/en | See recent Cineman.ch/en news »
In Toronto for a reading moderated by David Cronenberg, Stephen King has told fans he has been thinking about writing a sequel to "The Shining", which Stanley Kubrick turned into a movie in 1980. Even if the novel has yet to be written, it would hardly be a surprise if was not immediately adapted to the big screen, given Hollywood's endless penchant for sequels. Nevertheless, at a reading to promote his latest book, "Under the Dome", the master of horror told fans the sequel would concentrate on Danny Torrance, now about 40 and working in a New York hospice for terminal patients, using his powers to communicate with ghosts to help ease dying patients. The work-in-progress title is "Doctor Sleep". King added a caveat, stressing it's only talk at the moment: "Maybe if I keep talking about it I won't have to write it." It should also be noted that King considered »

Stephen King Not Writing ‘Shining’ Sequel
25 November 2009 10:00 PM, PST | newsinfilm.com | See recent newsinfilm news »
At a reading of Stephen King’s new novel “Under the Dome” last week, the famous author answered questions from the audience and director David Cronenberg about his work. The filmmaker asked if King enjoyed looking back over his novels and the horror writer responded that he sometimes wondered what his old characters were up to.
This lead to a lengthy scenario, reported by the Torontoist, that would center on Danny Torrance, the Big Wheel riding kid from The Shining. “What happened after he survived the incident at the Overlook Hotel?” King asked himself last summer. In the author’s imagination, Danny would be 40 years old and living in upstate New York where he tends to patients in a hospice. His mysterious powers help those pass on to the other side in a novel King wanted to title “Doctor Sleep.” No return to the Overlook? No thank you.

Best selling author, Stephen King, has shocked fans with the announcement that he is writing a sequel to his famous book "The Shining". The 1977 novel was adapted for the big screen three years after it hit retailer shelves and the film directed by Stanley Kubrick (Full Metal Jacket) and starring Jack Nicholson became a cult classic, considered one of the scariest motion pictures of all time. King confirmed he is writing a follow-up during an appearance in Toronto, Canada this week and revealed the story will be set 40 years later and revolve around the lead character Jack Torrance's son. The sequel is currently titled "Doctor Sleep". However, King admits he's nervous about writing a follow-up to his best story, joking to the crowd, "Maybe if I keep talking about it I won't have to write it."

Stephen King is working on ‘Doctor Sleep’, a sequel to ‘The Shining’
25 November 2009 8:38 AM, PST | ReelLoop.com | See recent Reel Loop news »
Acclaimed author and Entertainment Weekly columnist Stephen King (I love his articles on movie theater candy, seriously) announced that he is working on a sequel to arguably his most popular novel, The Shining.
While King was promoting his new Under the Dome story in Toronto, he told fans and reporters that his current project is a story entitled Doctor Sleep.
King believes that the first novel never explained what happened to young Danny and his super-cool psychic powers and that the events at the Overlook Hotel left the lad with “emotional scars.”
“Danny is now 40 years old and living in upstate New York, where he works as the equivalent of an orderly at a hospice for the terminally ill,” says King. “Danny’s real job is to visit with patients who are just about to pass on to the other side, and to help them make that journey with the aid of his mysterious powers. »

Stephen King plots The Shining sequel

Horror writer Stephen King has revealed that a sequel to The Shining would focus on a 40-year-old Danny Torrance
Jack Torrance's little boy Danny was last seen recuperating in Maine after escaping the insane evil of the Overlook Hotel, but Stephen King is now plotting a sequel to The Shining which would age the clairvoyant boy to 40 and transport him to a New York hospice.
Speaking to an audience of fans in Toronto about his new novel Under the Dome, King divulged that he'd begun working on a tentative idea for a follow-up to The Shining – first published in 1977 – last summer.
Danny, he said, was certain to have been left "with a lifetime's worth of emotional scars" after his experiences at the Overlook, where his father was possessed by the hotel, tried to kill him and his mother and eventually died.

Stephen King Has Been Working on a Sequel to The Shining?

This isn't exactly news, but it's quite an earth shattering thought that could end up shaking cinema to the core. Recently The Torontoist attended an event where author Stephen King treated fans to a 15-minute reading from the author’s new novel, Under the Dome, as well as a candid interview chock full of stories passed in an on-stage interview with Eastern Promises director David Cronenberg. In this interview, King shocked fans when he began casually describing an idea for a new novel only to slowly reveal that it was his concept for a sequel to The Shining, the original novel that spawned Stanley Kubrick's classic horror film. Apparently the follow-up, referred to as Doctor Sleep, is something King has been working on since last summer where (spoilers for those who have neither read the book, nor seen the film) he's continued the story following Danny Torrance (the creepy »

Terrence Malick: The Reluctant Auteur
24 November 2009 4:02 AM, PST | t5m.com | See recent t5m.com news »
The furious way that the beautiful free flowing style which Terrence Malick has curated over his career is talked about often disguises the fact that he has made just four features and one (some people say two), rare as hens teeth, shorts. So, after only a hand full of features in 37 years what is it about the director that has celluloid lovers chomping at the bit. Until very recently there were only 2 published interviews with the modest director in existence and only a handful of photographs. His stubbornness with the press is legendary. His Tom Sawyer like trademark themes of innocents somehow lost within harsh mother nature, the beautifully paced editing and pitch perfect scores, his poetic and naturalistic voice overs and consistently jaw dropping cinematography has helped the film maker achieve a level of awe and mystery perhaps only reserved on a comparable level for one Stanley Kubrick.
