“Creation” Movie Poster and Trailer

3 November 2009 10:37 AM, PST | Filmofilia | See recent Filmofilia news »

Check out the poster for “Creation,” a biopic movie telling the life of Charles Darwin.

A psychological, heart-wrenching love story starring Paul Bettany (A Beautiful Mind, Master and Commander: The Far Side of the World) as Charles Darwin, the film is based on “Annie’s Box,” a biography penned by Darwin’s great-great-grandson Randal Keynes using personal letters and diaries of the Darwin family. We take a unique and inside look at Darwin, his family and his love for his deeply religious wife, played by Jennifer Connelly (A Beautiful Mind, Requiem for a Dream), as, torn between faith and science, Darwin struggles to finish his legendary book “On the Origin of Species,” which goes on to become the foundation for evolutionary biology.

The film is directed by Jon Amiel (The Singing Detective, Entrapment) and writed  by John Collee (Master and Commander: The Far Side of the World).

Co-stars Toby Jones (Frost/Nixon, »

New Images from Creation - The Charles Darwin Story

27 August 2009 4:50 AM, PDT | HeyUGuys.co.uk | See recent HeyUGuys news »

It must be nice for these Hollywood A-Listers to actually be able to work with their real life partners rather than spending months and months away from each other whilst filming takes place.

Real life husband and wife duo, Paul Bettany and Jennifer Connelly get their chance to work together in period drama, 'Creation' which focus on the life of Charles Darwin and his wife, Emma Darwin. The story focuses around English naturalist Charles Darwin and his struggles to find a balance between his revolutionary theories on evolution and the relationship with religious wife, whose faith contradicts his work.The supporting cast includes Jeremy Northam, Toby Jones, Benedict Cumberbatch and Martha West.

New Creation Photos Online

5 August 2009 8:12 AM, PDT | EmpireOnline | See recent EmpireOnline news »

It's ironic that Paul Bettany's next role sees him play an angel with a machine gun (in Legion), because his next film, Creation, sees him struggling with questions of faith as he plays revolutionary evolutionary naturalist Charles Darwin.These pictures show Bettany as Charles himself, Jennifer Connelly as his religious wife Emma, Martha West as the Darwins' daughter Annie and Jeremy Northam as their preacher Reverend Innes. As a specual bonus, it also includes pictures of an orangutan. A small, cute orangutan. Honestly, if that doesn't get you through Wednesday we don't know what will.Toby Jones and Benedict Cumberbatch also star, with Jon Amiel directing. Creation is due out in the UK on September 25. »

Doctor Who star David Tennant as you've never seen him before

18 July 2009 3:29 AM, PDT | The Geek Files | See recent The Geek Files news »

David Tennant will be making an appearance at the San Diego Comic-Con later this month, amid speculation that he will star in a new Doctor Who movie.

We don't yet know if that will happen and if Tennant would reprise his Time Lord role on the big screen, but we do know the actor will make his final appearance as the Doctor in the last of three specials to air this year. Matt Smith will then take over the role.

And of course Tennant is now rumoured to be in line to play Bilbo Baggins in Guillermo del Toro's two-part film version of The Hobbit, with other candidates reported to be James McAvoy and Daniel Radcliffe. We should hear more about casting for that at Comic-Con.

In the meantime, what else is coming up for the 38-year-old actor?

As I reported last week, he is to appear in St »

Paul Bettany-Starring 'Creation' Gets Promo Trailer

13 June 2009 12:27 AM, PDT | Aceshowbiz | See recent Aceshowbiz news »

A look into "Creation" has been shared through the film's newly-released promo trailer. Less than two minutes long, the trailer is debuted by The Telegraph and explores Charles Darwin's struggle between faith and reason. It gives out the first look at Paul Bettany as Charles, Jennifer Connelly as his wife, Emma, and Toby Jones as Thomas Huxley among others.

Based on Randal Keynes' book "Annie's Box: Darwin, His Daughter, and Human Evolution", the movie follows Darwin as a young, vibrant father, husband and friend whose mental and physical health gradually buckles under the weight of guilt and grief for a lost child. Torn between his love for his deeply religious wife and his own growing belief in a world where God has no place, he created the book that changed the world.

From the director of 1999's "Entrapment", Jon Amiel, comes this part ghost story, part psychological thriller and part heart-wrenching love story, »

Scenes We Love: Tristram Shandy: A Cock & Bull Story

4 June 2009 4:32 PM, PDT | Cinematical | See recent Cinematical news »

I've never read Laurence Sterne's "The Life and Opinions of Tristram Shandy, Gentleman," and apparently, that's no small feat anyhow. After all, Sterne's protagonist starts out just before his birth and spends his time describing so many tangents of his existence that the book ends by the time his life has barely begun.

But I was delighted by the approach with which director Michael Winterbottom and writer Frank Cottrell Boyce adapted the seemingly unfilmable novel -- by making a movie about making the movie, which itself never quite gets around to unfolding. Steve Coogan plays a version of himself who's trying to keep his supporting actor/co-lead down and his girlfriend and newborn happy, in addition to juggling the production and the press and the pressures that come with the shoot as a whole.

It's all so delightfully twisty and sly, and I suspect that it's very much keeping in spirit with Sterne's work. »

2009 CBS Fall TV Line Up: No ‘Eleventh Hour’

20 May 2009 9:20 AM, PDT | ScreenRant.com | See recent Screen Rant news »

With the CBS 2009 season, we have a few favorites coming back, a show that changed networks and night and a huge gamble that paid out less than the California lottery.

The shows that got the digital advertisers ax were Eleventh Hour, Harper’s Island, The Unit, Without a Trace and Worst Week.

 

I’m bummed The Unit was cut and surprised by Harper’s Island lack of viewers.  Harper’s was well written compared to some but I guess viewers just don’t have the patience for murder-mystery dramas.  I have to admit, my first reaction was flat to the idea but I gave it a chance, got hooked and now, got disappointed.  Grr.

One of the most expensive television shows ever produced, Eleventh Hour, apparently was just as flat as I felt it was when I watched the first few episodes.  It never snagged me and seemed what I »

The Tudors: Showtime Series Ending After Year Four, No Season Five

13 April 2009 7:48 PM, PDT | TVSeriesFinale.com | See recent TVSeriesFinale news »

There's good news and bad news for fans of The Tudors TV series. Showtime has announced that they're renewing it for a fourth season but it will be the historically-based show's last.

The Tudors is a fictional version of the reign of the King of England during the 1500's, King Henry VII (Jonathan Rhys Meyers). Other historical players include Henry Cavill, Natalie Dormer, Nick Dunning, James Frain, Maria Doyle Kennedy, Padraic Delaney, Jeremy Northam, Jamie Thomas King, Anthony Brophy, Guy Carleton, John Kavanagh, Sam Neill, Callum Blue, Henry Czerny, Hans Matheson, David Alpay, Joe Van Moyland, Bosco Hogan, James Gilbert, Alan Van Sprang, and Peter O'Toole.

When the show debuted on April 1, 2007 to 870,000 viewers, it was reportedly Showtime's best premiere in three years. The series has held onto those numbers pretty well, attracting 726,000 for its third season premiere last week. The series has also been well-reviewed but it is an expensive epic to produce. »

Review: 'The Tudors' Seasons 1 and 2 on DVD

3 April 2009 8:27 AM, PDT | Comicmix.com | See recent Comicmix news »

Henry VIII was a rock star in his day. Anne Boleyn was the fashion plate. Their doings were covered as the pop culture of their day (after all, there wasn’t much else to do). The doings of the Royal Family captivated the English people as much then as it fascinates today. It’s little surprise then that given the politics, power plays, sex, and war that The Tudors had not come to television before Showtime debuted their interpretation in 2007.

With the third season poised to begin on April 5, it’s high time we looked at the first seasons, both now available on DVD from Paramount Home Video.

Today, most people know two things about Henry VIII: he was fat and he had six wives as he sought an heir. A few more would know he formed the Church of England in a major schism with the Pope so he »

Another British star who is also set to get medical on U.S. TV screens is Saffron Burrows, who has signed on to star in The Eastmans, a drama about a "complicated family of doctors."

The Tudors: The Complete Second Season

11 February 2009 8:44 AM, PST | Pastemagazine.com | See recent PasteMagazine news »

Writer: Michael Hirst

Producers: James Flynn, John Weber

Starring: Jonathan Rhys Meyers, Henry Cavill, Jeremy Northam, Natalie Dormer, Peter O’Toole

Studio/run time: CBS DVD, Showtime Entertainment and Paramount Home Entertainment, 542 min.

Wry historical series worth a weekend binge

Overrun with crude political intrigue and comically exuberant sex, the second season of The Tudors remains closely in step with the first, a gaudy window into the early reign of King Henry VIII. Jonathan Rhys Meyers returns as Henry, delivering his frantic, wild stares, a jarring reminder of how overcooked the series can be. But even with its loose, uneven pace and cavalier relationship with history, The Tudors at its best has real scale—a wry sense of the past and of the future. Creator Michael Hirst, who remains the show’s sole writer, provides allusive moments with a young Princess Elizabeth, and the appearance of a droll Peter O »
