Birthday Suits, Well Directed

Lights. Cameras. Birthday Action (for this, the 30th of November). Only one month left to go and it's 2010. How crazy is that?
Ridley, Terrence (in the 70s) and Marc
1835 Mark Twain's books have been adapted into movies ever since the movies began. Most notably The Prince and the Pauper and any tale of Huck Finn or Tom Sawyer
1920 Virginia Mayo 40s and 50s star, frequent Danny Kaye foil
1926 Richard Crenna, character actor
1927 Robert Guillaume, "Benson"
1929 Dick Clark, seemingly immortal creature who may finally be destroyed by the rise of his spiritual offspring Ryan Seacrest. It's all very Cronos vs. Zeus, only without the thunderbolts
1937 Ridley Scott, manly director whose movies are usually way better when they're shot through with a strong female presence. Consider the three classics: Blade Runner, Thelma & Louise, Alien. The rest of the filmography surely has its moments but that's the trinity right there.
1943 Terence Malick, »

10 closest Oscar races in the past 20 years
23 November 2009 1:12 PM, PST | Gold Derby | See recent Gold Derby news »
One of the shrewdest Oscarologists on the planet is Tariq Khan of Fox News, who often generously shares his views of current and past derbies with Gold Derby readers. Here he takes a nostalgic look at the past two decades, offering his take on the most competitive derbies. Words below are Tariq's. Thanks, m'friend!
We’ve often discussed those Oscar races that seem just too close to call . . . where it’s clear (or at least seems clear) that the eventual winner will nab the Oscar with only a few more votes than his or her nearest competitor. While we can never really know for sure (unless we get one of those top jobs at the accounting firm of PricewaterhouseCoopers,) we do have some idea of what may have been the closest races in Oscar history. Allow me to present what I believe were the 10 closest acting races over the course of the past 20 years. »

Their Best Role: Meryl Streep
18 November 2009 9:02 AM, PST | Cinematical | See recent Cinematical news »
Welcome to a new series here on Cinematical where we select an actor or actress and the role we think is their all time best.
Last August, "Meryl Streep" wrote an op-ed piece for The Onion called "Name One Masterpiece Of Cinema That I've Starred In." It was really written by the Onion staff, of course, but they (and Streep) made a good point. For a woman who is very possibly the finest living actor of any sex, she has made very few truly unforgettable films. Her resume doesn't contain anything quite like Rear Window, The Godfather, Chinatown or Pulp Fiction. Case in point: the article brings up Kramer vs. Kramer. "Streep" says "I'd watch it if it were on," but it isn't really a masterpiece. Also, it's more Dustin Hoffman's movie than Streep's movie, and if you look at it that way, it ranks pretty far down on Hoffman's list of classics. »

Gwyneth Paltrow joins Nicole Kidman in "The Danish Girl"
9 November 2009 7:00 AM, PST | AfterEllen.com | See recent AfterEllen.com news »
Variety is reporting that Gwyneth Paltrow has signed on to star opposite Nicole Kidman in The Danish Girl.
The film is about the first ever post-operative transgender person, Einar Wegener, and her wife, Greta, who stood by her side as she made the transition. Kidman will play Einar, and Paltrow is now set to play Gerda.
As we told you before, Charlize Theron had originally been in talks for the role of Gerda, but had to drop out due to scheduling conflicts. I'm a fan of Gwyneth's work, for the most part — including Shakespeare in Love where she dressed convincingly in drag, and her most recent film, Two Lovers — so I think she'll be great in the role.
The Danish Girl is being directed by Thomas Alfredson, who was behind the amazingly dark and beautiful vampire film, Let the Right One In, and the script is from Lucinda Coxon, adapted »

Gwyneth Paltrow To Play Nicole Kidman's Wife In "The Danish Girl"
8 November 2009 10:17 PM, PST | icelebz.com | See recent iCelebz news »
Gwyneth Paltrow is to play Nicole Kidman's wife. The "Iron Man" actress has signed on to replace Charlize Theron in "The Danish Girl," an adaptation of a novel about the first post-operative transsexual.
The film follows Danish artists Einar and Greta Wegener who found success after Einar stood in for a female model that Greta was set to paint. As their work gained popularity, Greta encouraged her husband to continue to adopt a female guise.
This eventually led to Einar undergoing a sex change operation in 1931, shocking the world and threatening their marriage.
Anand Turker is set to direct the film, which screenwriter Lucinda Coxon is adapting from David Ebershoff's novel of the same name.
Nicole previously won an Oscar for playing a lesbian in "The Hours," while Gwyneth saw her character in "Shakespeare In Love" disguise herself as a man in order to fulfill her acting dreams. »

2010 Best Actress Contenders: is there anyone who actually deserves an Oscar this year?
16 October 2009 12:36 AM, PDT | Hitfix | See recent Hitfix news »
There have been some absolutely amazing years in the race for the Best Actress Oscar. Take 1988 when Jodie Foster's performance in "The Accused" edged out what may have been career turns by Glenn Close in "Dangerous Laisons" and Sigourney Weaver in "Gorillas in the Mist." And you can't overlook one of Meryl Streep's all-time top five with "A Cry in the Dark" that year either. Or, 2002 where Nicole Kidman won for "The Hours," but faced heavy competition from Julianne Moore in "Far From Heaven," Salma Hayek in "Frida," Diane Lane in "Unfaithful" and Renee Zellweger in "Chicago."

If money is power, these actresses are superheroes
14 October 2009 3:00 PM, PDT | AfterEllen.com | See recent AfterEllen.com news »
Forbes’ lists of powerful women usually are fairly predictable, topped (in every sense) by Angelina Jolie.
But last week, Forbes published its annual list that reveals another side to power: Roi. And the top 10 actresses who provide the best return on a film company’s investment may surprise you.
At No. 1 is Australian actress Naomi Watts.
Watts’ most recent movie, The International, was a suspenseful thriller, to be sure, but it was only a modest box office success. Watts, however, gets less than $5 million a film — and earned the studio about $44 for every $1 she was paid on her last three major movies.
Second is Jennifer Connelly.
Although He’s Just Not That Into You was fairly cliché, Imo, the studio convinced its stars to take a pay cut to be in the movie. It made $177 million. Average that with Connelly’s roles in Blood Diamond and The Day the Earth Stood Still »

The Rise of Julianne Moore! (Mixed Media)
17 September 2009 11:59 AM, PDT | PopMatters | See recent PopMatters news »
In 2002, Moore was considered a heavy favorite to win the Oscar for her excellent lead work as Cathy Whitaker in Todd Haynes' Far from Heaven or her equally powerful supporting in Stephen Daldry's The Hours as Laura Brown. Joining a list that includes Emma Thompson and Sigourney Weaver, she went home empty-handed that fateful night. Deja-vu: watch out for her upcoming two-category sweep in 2010: First up is a much-discussed lead turn in Atom Egoyan's Chloe, a sexually-charged drama in which Moore's tony doctor hires an escort (Amanda Seyfried) to bed her husband.

Nicole Kidman to play transsexual
17 September 2009 | Cineman.ch/en | See recent Cineman.ch/en news »
In "The Danish Girl", Nicole Kidman will play the first male-to-female transsexual, in 1931: Danish painter Einar Wegener. Renowned for his modern horror fable "Let the Right One in", Swedish director Tomas Alfredson will direct the Australian actress in the biopic. It will be the third time for Tom Cruise's ex-wife to play a real-life artist: her performance as Virginia Woolf in 2002's "The Hours" earned her an Oscar, and she also played photographer Diane Arbus in 2006's "Fur". »

Nicole Kidman In Sex-Change Drama “The Danish Girl”
16 September 2009 1:55 PM, PDT | Filmofilia | See recent Filmofilia news »
Nicole Kidman will portray 1930s painter in a true-life film titled “The Danish Girl.”
Tomas Alfredson (”Let the Right One In”) will direct the movie about Danish painter Einar Wegener who became the first person to go through a sex-change operation to become a woman.
He underwent several operations in Berlin in 1930 and took the name Lili Elbe. She was thought to be intersexual, with both male and female organs found in her body during surgeries.
Lili Elbe died aged 49 in 1931, after complications following a fifth operation in which doctors attempted to transplant a uterus into her body. Elbe had hoped to become a mother, after accepting a proposal of marriage.
Charlize Theron, who had been attached to play Wegener’s wife, the fashion illustrator Gerda Gottlieb Wegener Porta, has left the production.
Swedish director Alfredson said he planned to shoot “The Danish Girl” before his previously announced John le Carre adaptation, »

Amanda Seyfried and Julianne Moore get dangerously close in "Chloe"
16 September 2009 9:00 AM, PDT | AfterEllen.com | See recent AfterEllen.com news »
Amanda Seyfried might be the talk of the town lately based on her same-sex smooch with Megan Fox in Jennifer's Body (which opens Friday), but the young actress has so much more going on with her career that's worth knowing about. This week she was pulling double duty at the Toronto International Film Festival, repping for both Jennifer's Body and her new film Chloe co-starring Julianne Moore.
In a nutshell, Chloe is a remake of the French film, Nathalie, in which Seyfried plays a prostitute (Chloe) that Moore hires to seduce her husband (Liam Neeson) to see if he is a cheater. Based on reviews from Tiff, it appears that the two women share more than a man.
Vanity Fair writes, "Toronto audiences gripped their elbow rests as Seyfried upped the sapphic ante in Chloe, engaging in a sultry hotel-room romp with Julianne Moore."

Twilight Timeline
6 September 2009 11:42 PM, PDT | PopStar | See recent PopStar news »
Have you ever wondered how The Twilight Saga became a worldwide franchise? Don't think it happened over night because many years of hard work and planning went into making this franchise possible. Take a journey back in time; before Robert Pattinson ruled the world, before we were a society obsessed with vampires and werewolves, and before a little known author named Stephenie Meyer had a dream. We are traveling back to 2003 when the Sars outbreak had the world on high alert and most notable in the United States, U.S. forces seized control of Baghdad, ending the regime of Saddam Hussein. Over in Hollywood, Nicole Kidman won her first Oscar for her portrayal of Virginia Woolf in The Hours, Katie Holmes gets engaged to American Pie star Chris Klein, Reese Witherspoon and Ryan Phillippe become parents for the second time, and it is announced that Friends star Matt LeBlanc will »
