Screen Media is planning a March limited theatrical release of James Ivory's "The City of Your Final Destination" reports Variety.

Anthony Hopkins portrays the writer's brother and Laura Linney plays the writer's widow. Charlotte Gainsbourg, Omar Metwally, Alexandra Maria Lara, Norma Aleandro and Hiroyuki Sanada also star.

'Chuck': Zachary Levi on the new season and being a 'wet noodle'

4 January 2010 5:16 PM, PST | Zap2It - From Inside the Box | See recent Zap2It - From Inside the Box news »

The set of "Chuck" is sparsely populated on the afternoon of Dec. 3 -- Zachary Levi, Yvonne Strahovski and Brandon Routh are the only actors working -- but there are big doings afoot nonetheless.

The trio is working on a pretty important scene in the show's 11th episode -- which I've promised not to discuss until the time comes. Fortunately, though, Levi took a break during filming to discuss how Chuck Bartowski adapts to having a new Intersect in his head, how "Chuck" fans helped save his job, and trying not to look like a "giant, wet noodle."

Q: What was the vibe like when you heard you were coming back for a third season?

Levi: I mean, it's amazing. It's really humbling. It's just a huge blessing to have a job, but to have a job that people care so much about that they'd give up their time and give »

Find Interview: Michael Hoffman discusses The Last Station

4 January 2010 2:58 PM, PST | Film Independent | See recent Film Independent news »

Writer/director Michael Hoffman has made a diverse bunch of movies, from the quirky comedy Soapdish to the romantic comedy One Fine Day to his take on Shakespeare's A Midsummer Night's Dream. Now he has tackled the final days of Leo Tolstoy in The Last Station, based on the novel by Jay Parini. It took Hoffman nearly two decades for the stars to align on the picture, which was originally to star Meryl Streep as Sofya Tolstoy and Anthony Hopkins as the Russian novelist during his final days when he and his wife fought bitterly over his loyalty to his cult of followers and the fate of his estate.  When financing for the film came through from Germany and Russia, Hoffman was able to assemble Academy Award ® winner Helen Mirren and Christopher Plummer as his leads with James McAvoy as Tolstoy's secretary, a key character in the film. Although filming in Russia, »

Kevin Feige (President of Marvel Studios) on Thor Costume Tests

4 January 2010 12:33 PM, PST | Collider.com | See recent Collider.com news »

With production on Marvel’s next movie Thor set to begin later this month, tons of work is going on behind the scenes right now.  Not only are the actors preparing for the fight scenes, they’re also trying on the costumes to see what works and what changes have to be made.  After getting to see one of the tests, Kevin Feige (President of Marvel Studios) wrote about his reaction.  Hit the jump to read it:

To be honest the thing that I’m most excited about right now though, is the screen test we just finished for “Thor.” We’ve done some costume tests and watching the Asgardians walk onto the sound stage takes me back to that first time I saw the X-Men on the set all together in Toronto. Only it was unlike anything we’ve ever put on film before! It’s great to be »

Will ‘Percy Jackson and the Olympians: The Lightning Thief’ achieve ‘Harry Potter’ success?

3 January 2010 4:43 PM, PST | Twilight Examiner | See recent Twilight Examiner news »

The book’s film adaptation, Percy Jackson and the Olympians: The Lightning Thief, is due in theaters on February 12, 2010, and it boasts an all-star line-up of supporting cast members behind its namesake representative Logan Lerman (“Percy Jackson”): Rosario Dawson (“Persephone”), Uma Thurman (“Medusa”), Pierce Brosnan (“Chiron”), Sean Bean (“Zeus”), Catherine Keener (“Sally Jackson”), Steve Coogan (“Hades”), Joe Pantoliano (“Gabe”), Kevin McKidd (“Poseidon”). The Lightning Thief releases against Joe Johnston’s The Wolfman (starring Benecio Del Toro, Emily Blunt, and Anthony Hopkins) and Garry Marshall’s Valentine’s Day (starring Julia Roberts, Ashton Kutcher, and Anne Hathaway) – far from competing with the likes of Harry Potter or the Twilight series. Directed by Chris Columbus, »

'Universal' releases 2010 movie schedule (part 1)

1 January 2010 10:27 AM, PST | Tampa Film Examiner | See recent Tampa Film Examiner news »

2009 set a box office record that went over $10 billion, so 2010 has some lofty expectations for movie studios.  Every major studio has their "secret weapon" release, which will hopefully make them some hefty bags of cash.  Most studios unleash this flick sometime in the summer and Universal will be doing the same.  However, studios can't fully rely on one or two blockbusters.  They need to pick and choose where they're going to release other titles.  All in hope of becoming that particular year's box office king.

Here's Universal's official weapons of choice:

The Wolfman (February 12th)
