London Film Festival Closing Gala: Nowhere Boy

6 November 2009 8:00 AM, PST | t5m.com | See recent t5m.com news »

Dir: Sam Taylor Wood Cast: Aaron Johnson, Kristen Scott Thomas, Anne Marie Duff, David Morrisey, David Threlfall, Thomas Brodie Sangster It must be said that British cinema did not promote itself especially well at this year’s London Film Festival. ‘Don’t Worry About Me’ and ‘Kicks’ failed to make any positive mark on the critics and audiences that turned out to see them; and while ’44 Inch Chest’ and ‘The Disappearance of Alice Creed’ boasted fantastic casts and gritty aesthetics, they were poorly written and suffered a similar fate. Fortunately, festival organiser Sandra Hebron had one more card up her sleeve for the closing gala… ‘Nowhere Boy’. The film explores the teen years of one of the nation’s most beloved yet mysterious musical figures… John Lennon. The project has been developed by Ecosse (perhaps the most British production company around after a host of period dramas and adaptations of »

Reese Witherspoon Sheds Some Light On Her Untitled Project With James L. Brooks

3 November 2009 12:00 PM, PST | MTV Movies Blog | See recent MTV Movies Blog news »

Reese Witherspoon picked up an Oscar in 2005 for her performance as June Carter in the Johnny Cash biopic "Walk the Line," but she's been fairly quiet since then. Working of course, but there's one listing on IMDb for her that's had me curious for ages. After all, it's not every day that you pair a performer of her caliber with James L. Brooks, executive producer of "The Simpsons," for an as-yet-untitled comedy also starring Jack Nicholson, Paul Rudd and Owen Wilson. So when MTV reporter Akshay Bhansali ran into Witherspoon last week at the Avon Foundation for Women Awards Gala red carpet, he just had to ask her for an update, perhaps even a title, on the mysterious project.

"We don't have a title, we just wrapped on Saturday," Witherspoon said. "We've been shooting it for the past six months." And what exactly is "it"? Previous reports indicated that the »

Reese Witherspoon finds 'Rule #1'

30 October 2009 12:12 PM, PDT | screeninglog.com | See recent screeninglog news »

Oscar winner Reese Witherspoon boarded a whole series of upcoming projects recently, and the latest she's considering to star in and produce is the Terrel Seltzer-scrioted "Rule #1" for Fox Searchlight.

The Hollywood Reporter says the film follows a New York woman who develops a friendship with a Puerto Rican girl with attention deficit disorder. Seltzer's credits include 1996's comedy "One Fine Day."

Witherspoon was recenlty heard in the mediocre animated flick "Monsters vs. Aliens," and before that she was seen in the disappointing "Four Christmases." She recently wrapped a comedy by James L. Brooks.

Witherspoon totally deserved her Oscar for "Walk the Line," but I feel her projects following that film failed to stick with me. She'll also soon star in a film by Cameron Crowe and in 'Pharm Girl." »

Reese Witherspoon: Single Mom on a Mission

29 October 2009 8:10 AM, PDT | PEOPLE.com | See recent PEOPLE.com news »

She has it all - a successful Hollywood career, famous boyfriend and beautiful kids - but when it comes down to it, Reese Witherspoon says she thinks of herself as a single mom making it through the day. "It isn't anything I chose in life, it just sort of happened that way," the Walk the Line Oscar winner, 33, said at Tuesday's Avon Foundation for Women charity event at New York's Cipriani 42nd Street, where she was the honorary co-chair. "We all just do the best we can. We're all just people trying to get through life however we can ... I'm »

ReThink Review: Amelia -- Yup, It's a Biopic

24 October 2009 12:39 PM, PDT | Huffington Post | See recent Huffington Post news »

The biopic pattern/trap in films is a hard one to avoid. Follow the typical biopic structure seen in Ray and Walk the Line (formative childhood incident, early struggle, meteoric rise, alcohol-/drug-/fame-/infidelity-induced fall, redemption) and you're accused of being formulaic. Attempt to reveal little-known, potentially darker aspects of a luminary's life and you're accused of trashing a legend or attempting to rewrite history. So Mira Nair's film about Amelia Earhart, Amelia, sort of does neither. Unfortunately, it's still not very good. Watch the trailer below. I hardly knew anything about Earhart before seeing Amelia -- and I didn't feel like I knew much more when I left. Instead of showing scenes from Earhart's youth to explain how she might have developed her love of flying and desire to break gender barriers, the film starts when she is already a pilot and has been... »

Wichita Becomes Knight and Day

14 October 2009 11:53 PM, PDT | EmpireOnline | See recent EmpireOnline news »

First it was called Trouble Man, then Wichita, then Untitled Wichita Project, but now it seems Fox has finally settled on a title for the action-spy-comedy-thriller starring Tom Cruise and Cameron Diaz. It's Knight and Day. Wasn't worth the wait really, was it? Still, it doesn't change the fact that we're liking the sound of the film itself, in which a blind date between Diaz and Cruise turns into a globetrotting, twisting, turning adventure, apparently with some sort of long-life battery as the macguffin.Paul Dano, Peter Sarsgaard, Viola Davis, Olivier Martinez, Maggie Grace and Mark Blucas are the co-stars, and the director is James Mangold (3:10 To Yuma, Walk the Line). The release is pencilled in for next July, by which time the title may well have changed half a dozen more times.  »

Michael Buble Dominates Kiss On Billboard Chart

Backstreet Boys are back with a #9 debut.

By Gil Kaufman

Michael Bublé's <i>Crazy Love</i>

You already knew Oprah Winfrey had the power to make any book she deems worthy a blockbuster, but the queen of all media is proving to be a musical kingmaker as well. A week after appearing on Winfrey's show, smooth crooner Michael Bublé will top the Billboard 200 charts with his latest, Crazy Love, on modest sales of 132,000.

Bublé managed to pull the feat off after pushing his album up from October 13 to an earlier, off-cycle Friday (October 9) release to coincide with the Winfrey appearance, dealing a harsh blow to legendary greasepaint rockers Kiss in the process. The Rock and Roll Hall of Fame nominees were looking like shoo-ins to land the first-ever #1 debut in their 30-plus-year career with the bargain-priced three-cd Wal-Mart exclusive Sonic Boom, but they will have to settle for #2 after moving just 108,000 copies. »

Tom Cruise's 'Wichita' Turns to 'Knight & Day'

13 October 2009 4:15 PM, PDT | Cinematical | See recent Cinematical news »

Tom Cruise has been in Boston (what, haven't you read the reports of Suri sightings in Beantown?) filming what was previously known as Witchita, a new film from Fox co-starring Cameron Diaz that is billed as a spy comedy romance thriller. Well, the film that has been blowing sh*t up in Massachusetts has the new title Knight & Day, as well as an impressive roster of new cast members.

In addition to Cruise, Diaz, Paul Dano, Maggie Grace, and Marc Blucas, Knight & Day has added Oscar nom Viola Davis, thespian Peter Sarsgaard, and sexpot Olivier Martinez to the cast.

As Jen Yamato pointed out, this sounds like it could be successfully aimed at the female audience, but can audiences accept the idea of Tom Cruise as a Clooney-type dreamboat? Can he still be funny? (Funny on purpose -- not funny like in Valkyrie.) Will female audiences be turned off by Diaz? »

James Mangold’s Witchita Starring Tom Cruise and Cameron Diaz Turns to Knight And Day

13 October 2009 10:24 AM, PDT | Collider.com | See recent Collider.com news »

Previously known as “Witchita” and once known as “Trouble Man”, the upcoming Tom Cruise/Cameron Diaz film will now be titled “Knight and Day”, which sounds like a title Kenneth the Page would come up with when pitching a sitcom about a medieval knight transported to modern times and falling in love with a woman with the last name “Day”.  Hit the jump for details on the film and why its potential success may have little to do with its lead actors.

15 years ago, Tom Cruise and Cameron Diaz, would have been able to make this an easy summer blockbuster.  It was only eight years ago when they opened “Vanilla Sky” to a $25 million opening weekend even though it’s an almost shot-for-shot remake of the mindfucking Spanish film, “Abre Los Ojos”.  But 15 years ago, people didn’t think Tom Cruise had gone off the deep end and Cameron Diaz »

Music -- Rosanne Cash: Singer

6 October 2009 11:19 PM, PDT | Huffington Post | See recent Huffington Post news »

Rosanne Cash has never been more naked as an artist than she is today. Her new album The List isn't the record of a deteriorating relationship like Interiors, that people can pick apart for clues to her private life. It's not a meditation on love and loss like Black Cadillac, which everyone associates with the passing of her dad Johnny Cash, June Carter Cash (a second mom to Rosanne) and her beloved mother Vivian Liberto Cash Distin -- even though "Black Cadillac" in particular came to her before any of them died. It's just Rosanne Cash as a singer, putting her stamp on 12 songs that came from The List, a compilation of 100 songs her father insisted she learn if she wanted to have a career in music. The album is out now on Manhattan Records and it's inspired... »

Gabba Gabba Hey: Ramones Biopic Headed for the Big Screen?

2 October 2009 9:59 PM, PDT | ScreenRant.com | See recent Screen Rant news »

According to The Hollywood Reporter, Fox Searchlight is in talks to produce a biopic about the seminal punk rock band The Ramones. The film, which would be based on the forthcoming memoir I Slept With Joey Ramone by Ramone’s brother Mickey Leigh and punk journalist Legs McNeil, would focus on the origins of the band, each member’s myriad problems with drugs (and with each other), and the group’s considerable impact on modern popular music.

 

The project is being spearheaded by producer Rory Rosegarten. Rosegarten (who is best known as the former executive producer of the TV show Everybody Loves Raymond) bought the rights to I Slept With Joey Ramone while the book was still being written. More importantly, however, when Rosegarten picked up the rights to the book, he also picked up the rights to The Ramones’ music.

Thomas Jane to Star in Glen Sherley

29 September 2009 9:29 AM, PDT | MovieWeb | See recent MovieWeb news »

While talking with Thomas Jane about his upcoming directorial debut Dark Country, which is set to hit DVD on October 6th, the in-demand actor revealed that he will be playing Glen Sherley in a biopic about the armed robber turned country musician. Shirley was a prot&#233g&#233 of Johnny Cash that escaped Folsom Prison to become a singer songwriter. He penned Cash's song Greystone Chapel, and later killed himself under the pressure of the spotlight. The film is being directed by Tony Kaye, and shooting will start after Jane finishes the second season of his popular HBO drama Hung.

While chatting with us about his character in Dark Country, a man that detested country music, Jane had this to say about his upcoming biopic Glen Sherley:

Dude, what do you have against country music?

Thomas Jane: (Laughs) You know what? I have absolutely nothing against country music. In fact, »

Project Runway @ the Movies: "Lights, Camera, Sew"

27 September 2009 6:37 PM, PDT | FilmExperience | See recent FilmExperience news »

I've always wanted Project Runway, which wields the word "costumey" around in the same dread way that American Idol invokes "broadway", to embrace costume design and hold a movie themed episode. Now that they're located in La, they finally came through for me.

The designers at a real soundstage, hearing the challenge. For the record I'm:

rooting for CarolHannah, drooling on Logan and expecting a Christopher win.

If you've seen the show, you'll know that Heidi Klum always kicks things off by wrapping that brilliant accent around a happy preview of the episode's content. To hear her chirpily declare "movie making!" before the Add editing team cut to the challenge was bliss in 4 syllables. Unfortunately many of the costumes weren't bliss in 4 seconds.

The contestants had to fight over the following five genres (only two people to a genre)

Paul Dano Joins Cameron Diaz & Tom Cruise's Wichita Projects

25 September 2009 2:52 PM, PDT | firstshowing.net | See recent FirstShowing.net news »

Although this is project already shooting (see photos here), casting announcements are still hitting. Variety has announced that Paul Dano has joined the cast of Wichita, an action comedy that stars Tom Cruise and Cameron Diaz. The story centers on a federal agent, portrayed by Cruise, who finds himself teamed with a wholesome and upbeat Midwestern woman, played by Diaz. Dano will play a charming but mysterious scientist whose invention is at the center of Cruise and Diaz's chase. Fox has apparently given this a huge budget, with plane crashes and epic action set pieces, which is exciting, but who knows if it'll deliver. Wichita, which will have a new title by the time it's released sometime next year, is being directed by James Mangold (Girl Interrupted, Kate & Leopold, Identity, Walk the Line, 3:10 to Yuma) and also stars Maggie Grace and Marc Blucas. The screenplay was written by Dana »

Paul Dano Joins Tom Cruise, Cameron Diaz in Action-Comedy

25 September 2009 8:50 AM, PDT | Reelzchannel.com | See recent ReelzChannel news »

Variety reports that Paul Dano has signed on to star with Tom Cruise and Cameron Diaz in the upcoming action-comedy from director James Mangold (3:10 to Yuma, Walk the Line). You might remember Dano from his memorable performances as the preacher rival of Daniel Day-Lewis in There Will Be Blood and as the mute, Nietzsche-reading teen in Little Miss Sunshine.

The Mangold movie, formerly titled Wichita and yet to be renamed, involves a partnership between Cruise and Diaz, who play a federal agent and a perky Midwesterner, respectively. According to IMDb's plot description, they embark on "a whirlwind of globe-hopping adventure and world-changing secrets." One of these adventures involves the pursuit of Dano's character, an enigmatic inventor-scientist.

Shooting begins in Boston next month, and the movie is scheduled for a July 2, 2010 release.
