Everybody's (Sorta) Fine
15 hours ago | ifc.com | See recent IFC news »
"Everyone's been asking how we're doing this week," film critic-turned-afi programmer Robert Koehler said, shortly before a screening of Juan José Campanella's Argentinean murder mystery "The Secret of Their Eyes." "And the answer is our sponsors." Indeed, thanks to chief sponsor Audi, AFI has responded to an economy that's been particularly unkind to film festivals with free tickets that have ensured capacity attendance to most, if not all, of their screenings at the Mann's Chinese Theaters in Hollywood.
Even the more obscure titles that Koehler and his team have programmed, like Philippe Grandrieux's "The Lake" or the Spanish Berlinale winner "The Milk of Sorrow," have seen solid attendance. But the fact that so many have been asking the question is more telling than the answer -- with a changing audience profile (a Bugs Bunny impersonator wandered into Tuesday's screening of "Youth in Revolt" in full costume from entertaining »

DVD Review: Last Chance Harvey
9 November 2009 9:30 AM, PST | HeyUGuys.co.uk | See recent HeyUGuys news »
Last Chance Harvey is a romantic comedy directed by Joel Hopkins and starring Dustin Hoffman and Emma Thompson. After seeing Thompson in roles like Proffessor Sybil Trelawney in Potter and Nanny McPhee, it was nice to see her return to a standard role where we get to see her acting ability shine through.
Last Chance Harvey is about a man who is a composer for TV commercials in theUnited States. He’s stuck in his job which has changed over the years to become digital meaning the job he once loved as a muscian has become mundane and tedious. The main storyline follows Harvey travelling to London, England to see his daughter get married. He arrives to find that the wedding has been planned without any input from him but by his exwife and his daughter’s step father. Things go from bad to worse when his daughter tells him »

Thompson Writes Screenplays To Avoid Typecasting
22 October 2009 8:56 AM, PDT | WENN | See recent WENN news »
Emma Thompson refuses to worry about how ageing might affect her Hollywood career - because she writes her own parts.
The Oscar-winning actress has added her own twist to scripts of several of her movies, and fully tackled the role of screenwriter for her adaptation of kids' book Nanny McPhee.
But she insists the added workload is worth it - because it prevents her from being typecast in the ageist film industry.
Thompson says, "I write my own roles, which is helpful. Of course though, there are older parts like the one I played in Brideshead Revisited, which was excellent."
And the Brit is adamant she will never go under the knife to turn back the clock - insisting it's possible to look great as you get older.
She adds, "I'm not fiddling about with myself. We're in this awful youth-driven thing now where everybody needs to look 30 at 60. The trick is to age honestly and make it look great so that everyone looks forward to it." »
First Look: Nanny McPhee and The Big Bang Trailer
19 October 2009 10:42 AM, PDT | FilmShaft.com | See recent FilmShaft.com news »
Remember when the first Nanny McPhee hit theatres back in 2005? Friends, family, colleagues, everyone kept telling me how fantastic the film was. Me being me however, I dismissed it as a silly family movie…that is up until I finally caught it on Sky Movies in 2006.
Continuing on from that first, fantastic installment is Nanny McPhee and The Big Bang – and it looks like the series has lost none of it’s charm!
In Nanny McPhee and the Big Bang, Oscar®-winning actress and screenwriter Emma Thompson returns to the role of the magical nanny who appears when she’s needed the most and wanted the least in the next chapter of the hilarious and heartwarming fable that has enchanted children around the world. In the latest installment, Nanny McPhee appears at the door of a harried young mother, Mrs. Isabel Green (Maggie Gyllenhaal), who is trying to run the »

Trailer - 'Everbody's Fine' Appears Otherwise
5 October 2009 10:54 PM, PDT | GetTheBigPicture.net | See recent Get The Big Picture news »
Oof, does this movie look weak. No offense to Robert De Niro, Sam Rockwell, Drew Barrymore, and Kate Beckinsale, but if the script for Everybody's Fine is no better than the trailer - or the title, for that matter - we're in trouble.
The film is the brainchild of writer-director Kirk Jones, who did Waking Ned Devine and Nanny McPhee, both fine, funny films. So my hope is this trailer's just a steaming pile and the movie's actually Ok. De Niro plays a widower trying to reconnect with his grown kids at Christmas after not being as involved in their lives for a few years.
It's a simple concept, so really, the only question is whether or not Jones gives the characters any depth. He usually does, but man, this trailer is pretty overpowering evidence to the contrary. »

Zeus Gets His Armour On
3 October 2009 1:13 PM, PDT | EmpireOnline | See recent EmpireOnline news »
EW.com has put up a gallery of pictures, including two new shots here and here showing Liam Neeson as Zeus in Clash of the Titans. That's right, Qui Gon is so strong in the Force that he's gone from Jedi to Aslan to ruler of the Greek gods - take that, Obi-Wan!The new Clash of the Titans has made a few changes, as you can see, and decided that Greek gods should wear protection* rather than the old-school toga. Still present and correct, however, are the big beards and slightly poufy hair.For more on the film, check out the new issue of Empire. Clash of the Titans will be out on March 26 next year, up against Nanny McPhee 2. Hmm, Emma Thompson's warts vs. Neeson's armour; we're not sure which side we'd back there.*Not protection in that way, although come to think of it if they »

Robert De Niro in Everybody's Fine
Photo: Miramax I saw the trailer for Everybody's Fine in the theaters a while back and immediately thought to myself -- wow, that looks generic, but I'll be damned if it doesn't look like a quality bit of generic cinema with a potentially Oscar-worthy performance by Robert De Niro. Now, the same trailer is available online for you to judge. Everybody's Fine is a remake of Giuseppe Tornatore's "Stanno Tutti Bene," and follows a widower (De Niro) who embarks on an impromptu road trip to reconnect with each of his grown children only to discover that their lives are far from picture perfect.

Gyllenhaal In Awe Of Thompson
16 September 2009 6:36 PM, PDT | WENN | See recent WENN news »
Maggie Gyllenhaal is so in awe of actress Emma Thompson, she's been taking tips off her while filming Nanny McPhee And The Big Bang.
The Dark Knight star is currently in London shooting scenes for the sequel to 2005's Nanny McPhee, alongside Thompson who co-wrote and stars in the new picture.
The British actress has given Gyllenhaal some acting tips and she's impressed with Thompson's wise words.
Gyllenhaal says, "Early on, Emma gave me a couple of notes. And she's not directing me, she's acting with me! If some other actor started giving me notes I would tell them to 'F**k off' - there is not one other actor I would allow that from.
"But they were fantastic notes - clear and totally helpful. I just thought to myself, 'She's teaching me and I'd be an idiot not to accept it.' And Emma's what, 50? It would be silly of me not to acknowledge that she knows more than I do." »
Paramount Pictures to distribute 'We Want Sex' in U.K., Australia and New Zealand
7 September 2009 12:34 AM, PDT | Movie Jungle | See recent Movie Jungle news »
Paramount Pictures will distribute Nigel Cole's "We Want Sex" in New Zealand, the U.K. as well as Australia. The film stars Sally Hawkins, Bob Hoskins, Andrea Riseborough, Jaime Winstone, Rosamund Pike and Daniel Mays. Film follows the 1968 strike at the Ford Dagenham car plant when 850 female workers left their jobs in protest after sexual descrimination in their job performance evaluations. This contributed to women receiving equal pay in the work place. During the strike, the committee was invited to tea by the employment secretary Barbara Castle and it was during that meeting where the issue was raised for equal pay. Imelda Staunton ("Nanny McPhee," "Vera Drake") is currently in talks to play Castle. »
Oscar Update: Voting Changes, 'Bright Star,' 'Precious,' Predictions and More
1 September 2009 2:08 AM, PDT | Rope of Silicon | See recent Rope Of Silicon news »
First we'll get the house-cleaning out of the way as everyone seems to be getting all excited over the minor change in the voting rules for Oscar's Best Picture as a result of the shift from five nominees to ten. The Academy sent out a press release noting the fact the preferential voting process used to determine the nominees will now be used to decide the winners as well. I discussed the preferential voting system last year in a rather extensive article as everyone got upset over the assumed snubbing of The Dark Knight with "preference" shown to The Reader. You can read that article right here, but essentially this involves voters ranking their picks on a scale of 1-10 instead of simply marking an "X" next to the one film they decide to be the Best Picture. As a result you begin rounding up the first place votes by »

International Teaser Trailer for Dorian Gray Shows Its Face
27 July 2009 10:30 AM, PDT | ScreenRant.com | See recent Screen Rant news »
So far I’m compiling quite a list of movies to watch this fall: Surrogates, Armored, Pandorum, Gamer, 9, Whiteout, Extract, Trucker; and that’s just the first 3 weeks of September. Now, I’m adding a new one to my list - Dorian Gray.
Based on the 1890 novel by Oscar Wilde, Dorian Gray follows the exploits of a young man who meets artist Basil Hallward. Hallward paints a picture of Gray and becomes infatuated with him. When Gray realizes that one day that his beauty and lifestyle will fade, he sells his soul to have Basil’s painting age instead of him.
It’s an interesting story, to be sure, and the topics it covered - homosexuality, debauchery, self-indulgence - were highly controversial, even by today’s standards, in the late 1800’s. The novel is still considered to be one of the greatest examples of modern day Western Literature. The teaser trailer, »

Hoffman And Thompson Sieze Last Chance
4 June 2009 12:39 AM, PDT | EmpireOnline | See recent EmpireOnline news »
Reuniting on screen after their first meeting in Stranger Than Fiction, Dustin Hoffman and Emma Thompson play a pair who feel they have run out of luck with love who find what might be that one final opportunity in Last Chance Harvey.Watch video from the Last Chance Harvey premiere.Thompson is now working on the follow up to her Oscar-winning Nanny McPhee, called Nanny McPhee And The Big Bang. But don't make the mistake of branding it a family film: "I don't call them kids' films darling, Nanny McPhee is an adult film. I make films for people, I don't make them for children, that would be daft. In our film you've got Maggie Smith, Ralph Fiennes, Maggie Gyllenhaal, Rhys Ifans, Bill Bailey - I can't think of a cast who would draw me into the cinema more, so that's the most important thing on my list at the moment. »

This week's Ketchup has news about sequels to Nanny McPhee, remakes of Piranha and Little Shop of Horrors, a movie version of Father Knows Best and new movies for Kristen Bell, Maggie Gyllenhaal and Megan Fox. X-Men franchise producer Laura Shuler-Donner clarified this week one of the big mysteries and confusions about the upcoming X-Men: First Class project, although given the title and source material, it shouldn't have been a mystery at all. The confusion started when Variety a while back speculated that the movie would focus on the young mutants from the previous movies, like Kitty Pryde, Rogue, Iceman,... »

Nanny McPhee 2 Cast Gets Packed
15 April 2009 8:06 AM, PDT | cinemablend.com | See recent Cinema Blend news »
We knew a few days ago that Maggie Gyllenhaal would be joining the cast of Nanny McPhee 2, thanks to Production Weekly. And now that Variety has confirmed the story, they've at least got a few more names to add to the pile. Rhys Ifans, Maggie Smith, and Asa Butterfield have all signed on to join the cast, which makes this just a Julie Christie away from being as packed as a Harry Potter cast. It practically is a Harry Potter cast, actually, including Ifans, Thompson, Smith and Ralph Fiennes. Emma Thompson, of course, will be returning as the nanny with magical powers, and Variety says this time she'll be taking care of kids who are evacuated from the city during wartime-- presumably the London Blitz during World War II. That's the exact same premise that kicks off The Lion, The Witch, and the Wardrobe, oddly enough, except replace a faun »
