Martin Scorsese To Be Honored at 2010 Golden Globes with Cecil B. DeMille Award
10 hours ago | Collider.com | See recent Collider.com news »
In January, the Hollywood Foreign Press Association (HFPA) will bestow the Honorary Cecile B. DeMille Award to Martin Scorsese for “his outstanding contribution to the entertainment field,” to which we say “Congratulations, Mr. Scorsese.” Of course, any award honoring Scorsese’s career is well-earned by the prolific and influential director. His lengthy and diverse filmography naturally contains movies which flopped and received no support from film critics, but when you look at his hits, he has left an unforgettable stamp on not only American cinema, but on audiences the world over. That his work continues to improve and defy simple definition is an inspiration to aspiring filmmakers and a challenge to his peers. There’s only one complaint people have about the awards Scorsese receives: they’re overdue.
Hit the jump to read the full press release. The 67th Annual Golden Globes will air on January 17, 2010. Martin Scorsese’s next film, »

Martin Scorsese Scores Top Golden Globe

Martin Scorsese is a GreatFella. Just ask the folks behind the Golden Globes, who've tapped the legendary Oscar-winning filmmaker as the latest recipient of their highest honor. Scorsese, 67, will pick up the the Hollywood Foreign Press Association's Cecil B. DeMille Award for lifetime achievement at the 67th Annual Golden Globes set to take place Jan. 17 and hosted by Ricky Gervais. They're talkin' to you, Marty. Scorsese will be saluted for a groundbreaking four-decade career that includes such films as Mean Streets, Taxi Driver, Raging Bull, GoodFellas, The Last Temptation of Christ, The Age of Innocence, Gangs of New York, The Aviator and The Departed, which earned him... »
Harvey Keitel Greets Little Fockers; Zachary Quinto Takes a Spin on Whirligig
12 hours ago | Collider.com | See recent Collider.com news »
According to THR, Harvey Keitel has joined the inevitable pain that is Little Fockers. Even though Keitel has never achieved the stature of his early peer Robert De Niro, Keitel has kept steady work in low-profile material and thus maintained the respect that De Niro cannot claim with his rocky record of the past 15 years. However, he will re-team with his Mean Streets co-star for the first time since 1997’s Cop Land. But while I sight for De Niro, I shrug for Keitel because he’s kept work as a steady character actor and I find his career as respectable as I used to find De Niro’s.
In an unrelated project, Zachary Quinto aka New Spock, may make his next feature project a “romantic adventure” called Whirligig. The film “centers on a man who, in a misguided attempt to woo an older woman, befriends the woman’s adopted son. »

Harvey Keitel Joins De Niro In Little Fockers
14 hours ago | cinemablend.com | See recent Cinema Blend news »
There was a time, really not so long ago, when the world was young and Martin Scorsese was a scrappy upstart and these two actors named Robert De Niro and Harvey Keitel were making movies with him. Movies like Mean Streets and Taxi Driver, that didn't try to make their audiences feel good but challenged them, movies that inspired an entire generation to try and make something as good themselves. Now those actors are starring together in a movie called Little Fockers. The THR article does not say whether or not Keitel's and De Niro's characters will simply glower at one another and shout "You talkin' to me?" for the duration of their screentime together, but you have to imagine there will at least be some kind of nod to their halcyon days, when poop jokes were the furthest things from their mind.

Harvey and Bob – a pair of Fockers
15 hours ago | ReelLoop.com | See recent Reel Loop news »
Hollywood Reporter have announced acting legends Harvey Keitel and Robert De Niro are to reunite on the big screen once more. However, fans of Mean Streets and Taxi Driver may be disappointed to learn that the film in question is not a gritty Scorsese production, but rather a sequel in the highly successful Fockers series.
Paul Weitz, off the back of his flop Cirque du Freak, is to helm the project currently operating under the working title Little Fockers. De Niro and Keitel are joined on the project by a returning cast which includes Ben Stiller, Blythe Danner, Teri Polo and Owen Wilson.
Keitel is the latest addition to the ensemble which also features new additions Laura Dern and Jessica Alba who, in a role unlikely to test her acting aplomb, appears as an “attractive pharmaceutical rep”.

17 hours ago | MovieWeb | See recent MovieWeb news »
Martin Scorsese will be honored at The 67th Annual Golden Globe Awards on January 17 with the Cecil B. DeMille Award for his "outstanding contribution to the entertainment field."

Scorsese received two Golden Globe Awards for "Best Director of a Motion Picture"; for The Departed and Gangs of New York. He received five additional Golden Globe nominations, including four as Best Director (Casino, Age of Innocence, Goodfellas and Raging Bull) and one for Best Screenplay for Raging Bull (with Nicolas Pileggi).

Keitel + De Niro = Little Fockers
18 hours ago | Cineman.ch/en | See recent Cineman.ch/en news »
After working together in the classics "Mean Streets" and "Taxi Driver", Harvey Keitel and pal Robert De Niro are back together. Millions of cinephiles would probably rejoice at the news that Harvey Keitel and Robert DeNiro, who worked together in the classics "Mean Streets" and "Taxi Driver", will be back together soon, but the excitement would most likely be dampened by the news that the two legends will be working on the third installment of "Meet The Parents". Far, far from Martin Scorsese's tortured and fascinating world... In "Little Fockers", Ben Stiller and Teri Polo are back, of course, as are Blythe Danner and the hilarious Owen Wilson, while Jessica Alba and Laura Dern will join the cast for the first time. Keitel and De Niro have also worked together on movies that have nothing to do with Scorsese: in the dark "The Bridge of San Luis Rey", the »

Mean Streets and Taxi Driver stars Harvey Keitel and Robert De Niro will reteam for the upcoming Universal comedy Meet The Fockers. And just a few days after Jamie Foxx and Martin Lawrence announced they'd be reteaming their Wanda and Sheneneh characters for a movie?! Will the superstar reteamings ever stop?! Keitel has signed on to play a contractor hired by Stiller's Greg Focker so it's unclear how much, if any, interaction Keitel will actually have with De Niro in the film. Keitel... »

Little Fockers = Mean Streets 2...?
23 hours ago | EmpireOnline | See recent EmpireOnline news »
They’ve only made a handful of films together but, given that two of those films can rightly be considered amongst the greatest ever made, it’s fair to say that a Harvey Keitel/Robert De Niro reunion is something most film fans would want to see. And now they’re about to get their wish.For, to the Scorsese double whammy of Mean Streets and Taxi Driver (sorry, James Mangold, but Cop Land doesn’t quite make the list), we can soon add… Little Fockers?!? Oh. Wow. Well, they do say be careful what you wish for.Keitel has signed on to the third film in the Meet The Parents series (to call it a trilogy would be far too grandiose) which will, of course, reunite the comedy team of Ben Stiller and Robert De Niro.

The gutting of Miramax, Pt. II: Is this the end of New York movie culture?
2 November 2009 3:58 PM, PST | EW.com - The Movie Critics | See recent EW.com - The Movie Critics news »
Last week, it was announced that Miramax Films would close its New York offices, and that its president, Daniel Battsek, was being asked to step down. If that sounds like an unhappy day for the world of independent film -- well, it is. Yet as far as Miramax is concerned, it's really just one more nail in a coffin that was already slamming shut. In case you missed the news, here's the post I wrote back on Oct. 11 about the gutting of Miramax that took place last month, and what it could portend, in general, for studio specialty divisions.

Standing Eight Count
2 November 2009 4:38 AM, PST | t5m.com | See recent t5m.com news »
Yesterday I sat down once again to watch Martin Scorsese’s 1980 masterpiece Raging Bull, taking my viewings somewhere into double figures. I consider it to be the director’s finest film (just edging out Mean Streets), and De Niro’s titular Bull, Jake Lamotta, the actor’s premier performance. It is a film that exercises an extraordinary hold, drawing me in time and again in search of new meaning. And it never fails to deliver. But as the credits role I always ask myself the same question: “Why does the film industry have such an abiding love affair with the sweet science?” Like a punch-drunk journeyman surviving on a mix of experience, gut instinct and crude reflex, the fight film, despite its often indelicate and rough-edged familiarity, continues to bewitch filmmakers and confound audiences with an Ali-esque dexterity.

The Death of Hollywood?
23 October 2009 2:29 AM, PDT | t5m.com | See recent t5m.com news »
“Hollywood has always been a cage... a cage to catch our dreams.” – John Huston The sagacious Huston may have been right, once, but if recent reports are to be believed, and there is no reason to doubt them, the finances of the major Hollywood studios are in freefall. Battered by both the rise of digital, and thus the manner in which people are choosing to consume entertainment, and a quickening drought in funding, production is predicted to fall by more a third over the coming year. In response to the broader global economic meltdown banks have withdrawn much of their investment in the West Coast industry ($12bn from a total of $18bn has been made unavailable) and the ascent of Internet piracy, and even the legitimate but far less profitable download and video-on-demand sectors, is ripping the DVD market asunder. Foreign language films, too, are chipping away at the assumed »

Villains We Love: 1970s New York
12 October 2009 11:45 AM, PDT | Cinematical | See recent Cinematical news »
Villainy isn't just found in an evil plot, a straight razor, or a hockey mask. Sometimes it's a crippling state of mind and place that sucks the soul out of its heroes and heroines. It can be Purgatory, it can be hell, it can be a mental asylum, or it can be a bustling metropolis. So, I'd like to salute 1970s New York as being one of the most vicious, ruthless villains to ever wreck havoc on the silver screen.
By now you're regarding me with skepticism, outright derision, or a need to see Pinhead or Jigsaw saluted for the millionth time on a Halloween list. But think about the lurking menace behind Serpico, Taxi Driver, Fort Apache the Bronx, Cruising, Dog Day Afternoon, Klute, Mean Streets, Death Wish and dozens more. (Every once and awhile Hollywood mixed it up and set something in San Fransisco. But it always felt like a New York stand-in, »

Forget it Jake. It’s Chinatown
30 September 2009 8:40 AM, PDT | t5m.com | See recent t5m.com news »
The curious timing and conspiratorial goings-on surrounding Roman Polanski’s arrest in Switzerland this week bring to mind, for me, the Polish director’s most fascinating film, Chinatown. Arrested for a crime he confessed to thirty-two years ago, but the punishment for which he has avoided ever since, Polanski appears to have been drawn into a world of smoke-and-mirrors and legalese, finally bought down by the very system that has permitted his freedom from extradition since he fled the Us in 1977. It promises to be a distorted and confusing affair and like that experienced by Jake Gittes, the increasingly buffeted and bewildered detective protagonist in his 1974 neo-noir masterpiece, one that might prove impossible to truly unravel. Chinatown was, and remains, a dazzling exercise in cinematic intelligence and, even in that golden era of post-classical Hollywood, when directors as spiky and gifted as Scorsese, Altman, Coppola, Kubrick and Malick were at their towering, »

Nas Misses Raekwon's Cuban Linx II

Chef says he's contemplating Young Jeezy for part three, in Mixtape Daily.
By Shaheem Reid

Cornerstone Credentials We heard the album last night, son. Raekwon's Only Built 4 Cuban Linx II is a certified gem. That very last song on the LP, "Kiss the Ring," is amazing. He's has those mafia war stories, the sharp wordplay, Wu-Bangers and even some Dr. Dre G-Funk. What the Chef was unable to get was Nas. One of the main show-stealers from the original Only Built 4 Cuban Linx never gave Rae a verse for the new LP. So much for nostalgia.
"He committed to it," Rae told Mixtape Daily. "I knew dude be busy. However it goes down, it's cool with me. My thing is, I sacrificed to even ask because of the fans. But if dudes be too busy in their own minds, they don't have to do it. »
An Earful From Michael Fassbender
19 August 2009 8:47 AM, PDT | ifc.com | See recent IFC news »
Last seen playing the famished Bobby Sands in "Hunger," Michael Fassbender is well due for a feast. In the next 12 months, audiences will be able to see the versatile Irish actor in at least four films, including the acclaimed Andrea Arnold drama "Fish Tank" and as a Snidely Whiplash-type villain in the western "Jonah Hex." But for now, he's one of Quentin Tarantino's "Inglourious Basterds," the prim and proper Lt. Archie Hicox, an Oss officer who's traded in his film critic career for a chance to help the Americans bring down the Nazi brain trust. It was a part well-suited to Fassbender -- as Hicox, he's able to draw upon his own German heritage and the vocabulary he picked up as a child for a role calling upon him to pose as a German soldier to infiltrate a propaganda film premiere. Plus, he's long been a fan of the »

Martin Scorsese was Considered for Godfather II
7 July 2009 6:00 PM, PDT | WorstPreviews.com | See recent Worst Previews news »
In an interview with Esquire magazine, director Francis Ford Coppola revealed that he wasn't interested in helming the "Godfather" sequel and had another director in mind. "The ending was clear and Michael has corrupted himself . it was over. So I didn't understand why they wanted to make another Godfather," he explained. "I said, 'What I will do is help you develop a story. And I'll find a director and produce it.' They said, 'Well, who's the director?' And I said, 'Young guy, Martin Scorsese.' They said, 'Absolutely not!' He was just starting out." At the time, Scorsese only made "I Call First" and "Boxcar Bertha." He was still working on "Mean Streets" with Robert De Niro when Coppola recommended him. »
Coppola Wanted Scorsese to Direct 'Godfather 2'
7 July 2009 11:15 AM, PDT | Cinematical | See recent Cinematical news »
Memories can be hazy things. Did Francis Ford Coppola really question the necessity of The Godfather Part II? Did he really want Martin Scorsese to direct the sequel, rather than himself? Referring to The Godfather, Coppola told Esquire: "The ending was clear and Michael has corrupted himself - it was over. So I didn't understand why they wanted to make another Godfather." He then made the executives at Paramount Pictures an offer they could refuse: "I said, 'What I will do is help you develop a story. And I'll find a director and produce it.' They said, 'Well, who's the director?' And I said, 'Young guy, Martin Scorsese.' They said, 'Absolutely not!' He was just starting out."
What an amusing, colorful anecdote, offering fresh insight into the making of a classic film! Except, er, it's not so fresh, since Coppola told Peter Biskind the same thing for his 1998 book Easy Riders, »

David Carradine: 1936-2009
10 June 2009 3:05 PM, PDT | Huffington Post | See recent Huffington Post news »
David Carradine has passed away. When I heard the news, and how it might have possibly happened, I was incredibly, almost weirdly sad. Carradine could be a handful (and his recent appearance at the Aero Theater in Santa Monica after a Bound for Glory screening proves as much). But he could also be a superior actor -- in Martin Scorsese's Boxcar Bertha (co-starring one of his famous partners, Barbara Hershey whom he had a child with, named Free), and then that bloody, drunken cameo in Scorsese's Mean Streets (shot by brother Robert), Walter Hill's The Long Riders (alongside brother's Keith and Robert), Kung Fu, Paul Bartel's Death Race 2000 (I love that movie), Ingmar Bergman's The Serpent's Egg (a great, intense performance), Quentin Tarantino's Kill Bill (his speech about Superman was especially memorable and more heartfelt and soulful, moreso than was probably written) and Hal Ashby's wonderful, »
