tMF Exclusive Interview - Nicholas Hoult: A Fascinating Study of Character
11 November 2009 6:30 AM, PST | The Movie Fanatic | See recent The Movie Fanatic news »
A Single Man, The Weinstein Company's Oscar bet this year, is a fascinating study of characters. Based on the novel by Christopher Isherwood, it depicts one day in the life of George, a middle-aged gay Englishman who works as a college professor in Los Angeles and whose lover, Jim, has recently died. - - -
- - - Playing Kenny, "a pretty-boy college student who appears to be stalking George (Colin Firth)", is Nicholas Hoult. During its La Press day, tMF was able to secure a phone interview with the young British actor. It must have been a tiresome day for Nicholas Hoult, but I never noticed, even once, any indication. Hoult was quite charming, seriously answered all my questions and even volunteered to add a few tidbits or two. What's so interesting is that he's very courteous, unlike some of the young actors based in Hollywood.

‘An American Werewolf’ Goes To The Weinstein Company
30 June 2009 11:28 AM, PDT | FilmSchoolRejects.com | See recent FilmSchoolRejects news »
It's not new news that John Landis' classic An American Werewolf In London is on track for a remake. We've known for a while that some foolish production company would be bank-rolling it even though common wisdom says it's going to suck. (Or bite.) But who in Hollywood would be stupid and/or egotistical enough to believe a remake could improve upon (or even replicate) the original's perfect hybrid of horror and humor? Who?!? BloodyDisgusting reported over the weekend that Landis has sold the remake rights to The Weinstein Company's Dimension Films. Cue groans from film-lovers around the world. I'm not against remakes in general... if a film can be improved in some way then I say go for it. If it fails, the original is still available. But what can be made better here? As I said above the movie is a near-perfect mix of humor and horror. The »

Dimension Films to Remake An American Werewolf in London
30 June 2009 3:53 AM, PDT | Reelzchannel.com | See recent ReelzChannel news »
The Hollywood Reporter says that Dimension Films has acquired the rights to An American Werewolf in London from John Landis, who wrote and directed the 1981 classic horror-comedy hybrid.
Landis's movie tells the story of an American tourist who is attacked by a werewolf while backpacking across the United Kingdom. He eventually turns into a werewolf and proceeds to terrorize London. The remake will be produced by Sean Furst and Bryan Furst, who oversaw The Cooler and The Matador and also worked on the upcoming Daybreakers, starring Ethan Hawke, Willem Dafoe, and Isabel Lucas.
No writers or directors have been attached to the project yet, but Dimension hopes to "make an elevated genre picture that will keep the fun comedy elements of the original as it seeks to be relevant to contemporary audiences." Like Twilight's tremendous audience, perhaps?
Here's the trailer for the original:

Richard Shepard is 'Brooklyn' Bound
2 June 2009 | ioncinema | See recent ioncinema news »
- Richard Shepard is set to continue working in awkward comedy formulas, after The Matador and The Hunting Party he'll be taking on a remake of an Israeli film for Overture films. Scripted by Daniel Taplitz and smartly re-baptized as The Angriest Man in Brooklyn, this is based on 1997 Israeli film "Mar Baum" (written and directed by Assi Dayan, son of the late Israeli defense minister Moshe Dayan) and tells the tale of a man who, upon learning he is about to die, must decide whether to spend his limited time (92 minutes) rushing to get things done or slow down and enjoy his final moments. The project was kicking around since 2004 when Revolution Studios had optioned the remake. ... »

DVD Playhouse—March 2009
By
Allen Gardner
Let The Right One In (Magnolia) An awkward 12 year-old boy, ignored by his mother and the target of bullies, finds himself drawn to his new neighbor: a girl his own age who only appears at night, and seems herself to be as lonely an outcast as he. Haunting film from Sweden is best described as The 400 Blows meets Nosferatu, and contains some of the most haunting imagery of any film in recent memory. Truly a unique and memorable work. Bonuses: Deleted scenes; Featurette; Photo and poster gallery. Widescreen. Dolby 5.1 surround.
Paramount Centennial Collection Paramount offers two more classic titles, restored, remastered and loaded with extras. Alfred Hitchcock’s To Catch A Thief stars Cary Grant as a retired jewel thief trying to enjoy his sunset years on the French Riviera with a minimum of drama, until he catches the eye of a high-maintenance heiress (Grace Kelly, »
