2010 Sundance Film Festival Premieres: First Images from The Extra Man and Philip Seymour Hoffman’s Jack Goes Boating
4 December 2009 6:13 PM, PST | Collider.com | See recent Collider.com news »
Yesterday, we reported the list of films playing in the Premieres category at the 2010 Sundance Film Festival. Today, images for some of these films have come online including The Extra Man starring Kevin Kline, Paul Dano, Katie Holmes, and John C. Reilly; and Philip Seymour Hoffman’s directorial debut Jack Goes Boating starring Hoffman and Amy Ryan. I’m particularly excited for The Extra Man because writer-directors Robert Pulicini and Shari Springer Berman’s American Splendor was one of my favorite films of 2003. As for Jack Goes Boating, I’m interested in seeing what Hoffman can do on the other side of the camera and I’m always happy to see Amy Ryan.
Check out images and the official synopsis for each film after the jump. The 2010 Sundance Film Festival runs from January 21-31st.
Here’s the official synopsis for The Extra Man:

Sundance Reveals 2010 Non-Competition Slate
4 December 2009 5:24 PM, PST | newsinfilm.com | See recent newsinfilm news »
On Wednesday the Sundance Film Festival unveiled the films competing in late January 2010. Yesterday they announced the rest of the line-up of independent films vying for attention for industry types and the curious public.
The entire list of 53 films is below, but here are a few that stood out to me from the premieres alone:
Mumblecore directors the Duplass Brothers, have a new, untitled movie starring an unusually high-profile cast compared to their usual improvisational crew. John C. Reilly, Marisa Tomei, Jonah Hill, and Catherine Keener. Reilly and Keener are actually in two films at the 2010 festival.
The Company Men, starring Ben Affleck, Kevin Costner, Maria Bello, Tommy Lee Jones, Chris Cooper, Rosemarie DeWitt about corporate downsizing.
Rodrigo Cortes’ Buried, starring Ryan Reynolds as a man buried alive in a coffin. I’ve read the script and its great. More on that as soon as I can.

Yesterday we got the list for the films playing in competition at the 2010 Sundance Film Festival and today we get the rest of the films that will be featured and there are quite a few that make 2010 look much stronger based on pedigree alone than I have seen in quite some time. Variety has a big write-up detailing the categories and more on the festival right here, but I am just going to offer up the titles and let you sort it all out.
The titles already in the RopeofSilicon database are linked.

3 December 2009 3:30 PM, PST | Slash Film | See recent Slash Film news »
Yesterday, the Sundance Institute announced the in competition line-up for the 2010 Sundance Film Festival. Today Sundance unveiled the out-of-competition line-up for the annual January fest. And I have to admit, while there isn't any huge surprises, but the line-up is pretty solid across the board. Here are a few of the films I'm particularly interested in checking out: John Wells's The Company Men, starring Ben Affleck, Kevin Costner, and Tommy Lee Jones as three company men who attempt to survive a round of corporate downsizing while trying to fend off its effects on their families and their identities. Maria Bello, Chris Cooper, and Rosemarie DeWitt also star. American Splendor directors Shari Springer Berman and Robert Pulcini's The Extra Man, about a down-and-out playwright who escorts wealthy widows in Manhattan's Upper East Side takes a young aspiring writer under his wing.

2010 Sundance Film Festival Out-of-Competition Films: Premieres
3 December 2009 2:34 PM, PST | Collider.com | See recent Collider.com news »
Yesterday we gave you a list of all the films playing in-competition at the 2010 Sundance Film Festival. We now have the list of the films playing out-of-competition and they’re divided up into four categories: Premieres, Next, Spotlight, and Park City at Midnight. Since combining these lists would be a lot to read for just one article, we’ve broken it up to give each category its own article.
Know that while there are a lot of films playing in-competition, most of the films to get buzz will be coming from the out-of-competition categories. First up are the premiers which include John Wells’ The Company Men starring Ben Affleck, Tommy Lee Jones and Kevin Costner; Shari Springer Berman and Robert Pulcini’s The Extra Man starring Katie Holmes, John C. Reilly, and Paul Dano; Get Low starring Robert Duvall and Bill Murray; Michael Winterbottom’s The Killer Inside Me starring Casey Affleck, »

Full Sundance line-up announced...and it's a doozy!
3 December 2009 2:08 PM, PST | QuietEarth.us | See recent QuietEarth news »
In addition to the competition titles which were announced yesterday, Sundance has announced the remainder of their line-up and it includes some titles we’re already familiar with along with a huge number of premieres.
Also on the docket are two new series: Next which showcases low/no budget films and Spotlight which highlights films which festival programmers deem worthy of extra love including Enter the Void (review) and Lourdes (the trailer for which I really liked).
I’m particularly excited to see some of the titles in the New Frontier program but overall, the line-up is an impressive one but the Kristen Stewart fan in me is excited to see her turn as Joan Jett in The Runaways and I think it’s fair to say we’re all dying to see Vincenzo Natali’s hotly anticipated Splice (trailer).
In the Midnight section, Adam Green's Frozen is sounding mighty find, »
Sundance '10 Announces Non-Competing Film Premieres
3 December 2009 1:50 PM, PST | Cinematical | See recent Cinematical news »
Sundance is a celebration of independent filmmaking, but half the fun is seeing the premieres of larger films that might not come out for months, or years in some cases. In fact, the non-industry people who attend Sundance every year might not be able to tell you what documentary won the Grand Jury prize last year (it was Ondi Timoner's We Live In Public), but they're always able to tell you when they saw "that new George Clooney movie."
With that in mind, Sundance has announced the premieres that are screening out of competition. You can see a full list, complete with synopsis and cast listing for each film, just beyond the break. There's a few standouts so far, and I'd have to say my most eagerly anticipated is The Company Men, where Ben Affleck, Kevin Costner, Tommy Lee Jones, Chris Cooper and others have to survive corporate downsizing. »

Yesterday we were happy to bring you the Competition Line-Up for the 2010 Sundance Film Festival, which we'll be covering in January live from Park City, Utah. And today we've got the rest of the films, including the Premieres, Spotlight, Next, Park City at Midnight and New Frontier selections. Among the premieres are several major titles, including John Wells' The Company Men, starring Casey Affleck, Kevin Costner, Maria Bello and Tommy Lee Jones. Also, another Casey Affleck led cast in Michael Winterbottom's The Killer Inside Me. Philip Seymour Hoffman will make his directorial debut with Jack Goes Boating, and the John Lennon teen years feature Nowhere Boy, starring Aaron Johnson, will also make its premiere. The big premieres are one thing, but where Sundance has really been great the past few years is in the discovered films of the Spotlight and Park City at Midnight categories. Last year, Park City at Midnight delivered films such as »

Busey Named 'Unsexiest Star In Hollywood'
30 November 2009 11:11 AM, PST | WENN | See recent WENN news »
Movie veteran Gary Busey has been named and shamed as the unsexiest man in Hollywood in a new internet poll, edging out surprise contenders Justin Long, Kevin Spacey, Mickey Rourke and Joaquin Phoenix.
Editors at Moviefone.com compiled the list of Tinseltown's least desirable leading men, following People magazine's recent decision to name Johnny Depp Hollywood's top hunk.
Busey tops the unsexy list, "because he's outrageous and he has gigantic teeth".
Long, Drew Barrymore's on/off beau, came in third, because Moviefone editors decided "he is a 31-year-old man that (sic) looks like a 13-year-old boy."
"Ageing rock star" Rourke finished eighth ahead of Joaquin Phoenix, whose unkempt beard won him ninth place.
Moviefone's top 10 unsexy actors are as follows:
1. Gary Busey
2. Kevin Spacey
3. Justin Long
6. Randy Quaid
10. John C. Reilly. »

If the Croisette belonged to Sony Pictures Classics and IFC Films, then Park City is where Searchlight, Focus, Apparition, Roadside, Samuel Goldwyn and Magnolia get to have a piece of the cake.

If my predictions are half right, then this year's Sundance will have a unusually high number of titles with A list talent for sale. The market trend right now is far from the heyday of all night negotiation days after a film's premiere, but I wouldn't be surprised to see some titles get picked up for some impressive numbers during and not after the fest. »

Casting Tidbits roll out! First up, THR reports character actor Stephen Root has joined the casts of two vastly different forthcoming projects. In the Migeul Arteta directed comedy Cedar Rapids, Root will play the proud owner of an insurance company alongside Ed Helms, John C. Reilly and Anne Heche. On the other end of the spectrum, Robert Redford's historical drama, The Conspirator will see Root stepping into the role of a principal witness for the prosecution in the trial of supposed Confederate sympathizer, Mary Surratt, who is tried as a conspirator in the assassination of iconic President Abraham Lincoln. Almost a year ago, there was news about a remake of Bonnie and Clyde starring Hilary Duff and Kevin Zegers, but we thought the project had died because of how truly awful an idea it was. Apparently the project is still going strong as ScreenDaily reports have added Thora Birch »
