"Hereafter" is set for release December 2010. Parts of the film will apparently be shot in San Francisco, which is reason enough for me to keep my eyes wide open everywhere I go in the city. »

Clint visits de France

Legendary actor and filmmaker Clint Eastwood is still cranking them out as he nears 80 friggin' years of age, and is back behind the camera shooting his Invictus star Matt Damon on a new supernatural thriller called Hereafter. Now there's a lady in the mix: Belgian actress Cecile de France, perhaps best known as the pixie-haired star of Alex Aja's High Tension (Haute Tension), has also joined the project from writer Peter Morgan (The Queen, Frost/Nixon) and exec producer Steven Spielberg.... »

Matt Damon and George Clooney’s Hamdan V. Rumsfeld May Not Go to Court until 2011
15 hours ago | Collider.com | See recent Collider.com news »
It seems a bit unfair for me to whine about how George Clooney’s next directing gig, Hamdan v. Rumsfeld starring Matt Damon will probably be pushed back until 2011. These two actors have done outstanding work throughout most of the decade and it’s selfish of me to demand this movie when they’ll each be so busy working on other projects throughout next year that they simply won’t have time to do it. But I will continue to selfishly whine because it’s such an exciting combination and potentially powerful story. Hit the jump to find out why you’re losing your right to a speedy trial (and a laywer and habeus corpus and protections afforded by the Geneva Convention).
Hamdan v. Rumsfeld is the true story of Osama Bin Laden’s chauffeur Salim Ahmed Hamdan capture in Afghanistan, his incarceration in Guantanamo Bay, and how the United »

Quick List: Five Of The Scariest Stares
17 hours ago | Cinematical | See recent Cinematical news »
I had every intention of seeing The Men Who Stare At Goats this weekend, but time gets away when you're doing laundry and scrubbing dogs. So I turned to Netflix and decided to do a double feature of Aguirre: The Wrath of God and Cobra Verde. Yeah, I'm not sure why I do these things to myself either.
But the intense eyes of Werner Herzog's best fiend inspired a little list of the actors and actresses who inspire you to shift in your seat with just a single gaze. The list is long and extremely difficult to narrow down to just five, and is unfairly biased towards the menfolk. While a very honorable mention goes to Clint Eastwood's squint, in the interest of variety and equality I decided to honor five others that were equally as terrifying. I hope you dig deep into your fears, and offer up »

The "Dollars Trilogy" Free on Hulu
5 November 2009 10:27 AM, PST | JustPressPlay.net | See recent JustPressPlay news »
A quick heads-up for Sergio Leone and Clint Eastwood fans. All three of their "Man with No Name" westerns are now up on Hulu for free viewing. Hulu is only going to have these movies up until the end of November, so don't waste time, pilgrim. You can watch all three films right here.
A Fistful of Dollars originally followed the trend of remaking Akira Kurosawa's samurai films as westerns. I say trend, but really there was only, what, The Magnificent Seven? Fistful uses the plot of Kurosawa's Yojimbo as its premise, then reshapes it into Leone's own signature style. Then came the pseudo-sequel, For a Few Dollars More. Leone never meant for the three films to be a trilogy, but it just turned out that way due to Eastwood's same look and acting style in all three. The Good, The Bad and the Ugly is a prequel of sorts, »

Morgan Freeman Wants To Be a 'Dirty Old Man'
2 November 2009 9:48 AM, PST | Cinematical | See recent Cinematical news »
While Morgan Freeman has dabbled in comedy in his long and illustrious career, I don't think he's ever really gotten a chance to really cut loose. He certainly hasn't gotten to play in the raunchy end of the pool, but it sounds as though he's taking the leap in Dirty Old Men. The Hollywood Reporter says that he's attached to star as an aging playboy in the tentatively titled project, and we'll either be laughing or horribly traumatized by his efforts.
Men was penned by Josh Cagan and Greg Coolidge, and is said to be similar in tone to The Wedding Crashers and The 40 Year Old Virgin. It centers on two aging playboys who have been each other's wingmen for over 40 years. One of them meets the love of his life, leaving the other (played by Freeman) to chase skirts on his own. Well, that just won't do. The »

Morgan Freeman Joins Dirty Old Men
2 November 2009 2:45 AM, PST | Screenrush | See recent Screenrush news »
Warner Bros. has picked up a comedy written by Josh Cagan (Bandslam) and Greg Coolidge (Employee Of The Month), to which Morgan Freeman is attached to star and Peter Segal (Get Smart) may possibly direct.
The script has a working title of Dirty Old Men and tells the story of an aging playboy who finally meets the love of his life, leading his best friend and wingman for the past 40 years (Freeman) to do everything to break up the new couple. The tone of the film has been described as similar to The Wedding Crashers and The 40 Year Old Virgin.
Apparently Warner would love to have Jack Nicholson star in the playboy role, which would see him reteam with Freeman after they starred together in 2007's The Bucket List, but so far the actor is not attached.
Freeman will next be seen in Warners' Invictus, which sees him portraying »
Eastwood And Whitaker Are Debutante Dads
2 November 2009 12:06 AM, PST | WENN | See recent WENN news »
Clint Eastwood and Forest Whitaker are set to become debutante dads - their teenage daughters are to take part in an annual French ball where they will be formally introduced to adult society.
Francesca Eastwood, the 16-year-old daughter of Eastwood and Frances Fisher, is among a select group of finalists chosen to participate in Le Bal des Debutantes.
Whitaker's 17-year-old daughter Autumn, with wife Keisha, also leads the contingent, according to the New York Post.
The event will mark its 19th year at the Crillon Hotel in Paris, France later this month.
Last year's event saw Scout Willis, daughter of Bruce Willis and Demi Moore, make her society debut in front of her famous family. »
Morgan Freeman Is an Old Dirty Man But Also One with Dignity and Gravitas
1 November 2009 11:23 PM, PST | Collider.com | See recent Collider.com news »
If you want strong, quiet dignity with a voice so reassuring that you want it for every audiobook ever made, you call Morgan Freeman. That’s why him shouting “Somebody kill This motherfucker!” in “Wanted” was one of the best movie moments of 2008. Watching Freeman subvert his image has great comedic potential and it looks like Josh Cagan and Greg Coolidge’s script, “Old Dirty Man” may do just that. Hit the jump for more details.
According to THR:
The script, which had a working title of “Dirty Old Men,” revolves around an aging playboy who finally meets the love of his life and his best friend and wingman for the past 40 years (Freeman) who does everything to break up the new couple. The tone is described as similar to “Wedding Crashers” and “The 40-Year-Old Virgin.”
Freeman has attached himself to the Warner Bros. flick with Peter Segal (”Get Smart”) in talks to direct. »

Early Best Picture Predictions: Invictus & Hurt Locker Lead
30 October 2009 10:14 AM, PDT | firstshowing.net | See recent FirstShowing.net news »
I know we've still got a good two months left in the year and most of the heavy-hitting films haven't even been seen by anyone yet, but it's never too early to talk about the Oscars. Over the past week, Tom O'Neil of the La Times' Gold Derby blog polled some 16 Oscar pundits and film critics to get an early pulse on what they think are top contenders right now for Best Picture. Those polled include well-known film critics like Erik Davis, Pete Hammond, Peter Travers, Jeff Wells, and Susan Wloszczyna. And the list of their top picks might not exactly be what you're expecting. Or maybe it is? Read on for their picks and to tell us your own! The two films that are leading the race, according to these 16 people, are Kathryn Bigelow's The Hurt Locker and Clint Eastwood's Invictus. Both of those films got a »

Week in Review: The Damon Trifecta, Spidey, Sinatra
30 October 2009 4:35 AM, PDT | GetTheBigPicture.net | See recent Get The Big Picture news »
In the words of Matt Damon from Team America: "Matt Damon! Matt Damon!" If you don't like Damon, this might not have been the week for you. In addition to big casting news involving the Coens and Josh Brolin, two big trailers featuring Damon made the news this week. The first is Green Zone, a reunion with his Bourne director Paul Greengrass. The second is likely to be a Best Picture nominee: Clint Eastwood's Invictus.
We've also got a beginning and and end: You can watch the opening sequence to Boondock Saints II, opening today in about 65 theaters, or the alternate ending to Paranormal Activity. You might also be interested in big news on the Spidey villain front and the identity of the next Golden Globes host.

Top 7 Films Directed by Actors Turned Directors
30 October 2009 4:34 AM, PDT | The Scorecard Review | See recent Scorecard Review news »
We start the Top 7. You finish the Top 10.
The old joke is that all actors want to direct. Though it’s maybe not true of all, I still had plenty to choose from in making this list. The directors on this list all started life as actors, some still are, but I’d argue that they’re better known as directors. This month, two well known actresses have tried their hand at direction, Drew Barrymore with Whip It (which was a great movie, I have no idea why it did so badly) and Natalie Portman doing a segment of New York I Love You. Who knows, maybe one (or both) has a second career around the corner.

Oscar Verdicts on Mirren, Clooney, Jackson

By Steve Pond
These days, Oscar is a waiting game. Most of the films that are in contention for the top awards have made the festival circuit or been screened around town; in the best-picture race, there’s probably not much left to see.
But what is left is significant. Rob Marshall’s musical “Nine,” Peter Jackson’s “The Lovely Bones,” Clint Eastwood’s “Invictus” and James Cameron’s “Avatar” – those four films, none of which have screened to any significant degree, occupy four of the 10 slots on the majority of Os... »

Oscar Update: Tidying Up the Best Picture Race
29 October 2009 11:40 AM, PDT | Rope of Silicon | See recent Rope Of Silicon news »
I've been mulling around the Best Picture race in my head for quite some time and there are five films I am certain will be nominated; Invictus, Up In the Air, Precious, An Education and The Hurt Locker. Those are my five locks as of right now and if we were still looking at a five film race I think the conversation about which film will most likely win would be decided within a matter of months, once everyone saw Clint Eastwood's Invictus, a film that just saw its trailer debut to much online love. Those final five spots, however, have been a cause for some prognosticating concern.
I am quite confident Nine and Up will receive nominations, but I could see Up get bumped just because the Academy would think to themselves, it has Best Animated Feature, why waste a spot for it here? It's unlikely, but would »
