30 September 2009 | ioncinema | See recent ioncinema news »

- You have to admire European film industry folks - they go to bat for their filmmakers. Further proof that European filmmakers do have it good, the Board of Management of the Council of Europe's Eurimages Fund agreed to support 13 feature films with some Euros and among the featured projects and filmmakers we have veterans Istvan Szabo (Being Julia), Nanni Moretti (Quiet Chaos) and Bent Hamer (O'Horten) receiving some coin for their latest. Danis Tanovic, who just preemed his film Triage at Tiff will receive once again multi-territory support for Cirkus Columbia, while A Town Called Panic pair Vincent Patar & Stéphane Aubier team for another animated project. Spanish director Iciar Bollain (see pic) is prepping her film Even the Rain - a biopic on Christopher Columbus with actors Luis Tosar and Belén Rueda. Here is the full list below of films to watch out for in late 2010, 2011 and beyond.  Kai »

The Weekend Ahead in Film - "Wolverine" ready for his cut.

1 May 2009 | Movie Jungle | See recent Movie Jungle news »

Wolverine” ready to rip through the weekend. 20th Century Fox’s “X-Men Origins: Wolverine” unspools into a massive 4,099 theatres. Directed by Gavin Hood, the Academy Award®-winning helmer of South African film “Tsotse,” “Wolverine” has had its hurdles thanks to its bootlegged availability and review of the leaked, incomplete material by entertainment blogger Roger Friedman. Still, “Wolverine” is ready to carve up a hefty slice of the box office pie. “Ghosts of Girlfriends Past” looks to attract fans of the romance and comedy genres with Matthew McConaughey and Jennifer Garner frontlining. Mark Waters, director of “The Spiderwick Chronicles,” “Mean Girls” and the “Freaky Friday” remake, helms from the writing by Jon Lucas and Scott Moore. The film debuts in 3,175 locations.

Lone Rangers

30 April 2009 4:53 PM, PDT | ifc.com | See recent IFC news »

Back in the early '60s, when Sonny Liston ruled boxing and hard bop could still be found on the corner jukebox, just wearing a sharkskin suit could be construed as an act of aggression, passive or otherwise. Sharkskin is the uniform of choice worn by the protagonist of Jim Jarmusch's alluring, enigmatic "The Limits of Control." Isaach De Bankolé's Lone Man (for that's how he is ID'd in the program notes, if not the movie itself) is like Jarmusch's Ghost Dog, taciturn and resolute, if also exposed to more sunlight. Lone Man's granite-slab impassiveness is buttressed by the sharkskin's implicit provocation. Yet, as with his suits, De Bankolé maintains his character's angular, creased surfaces throughout the movie. Only when the routine is ruffled does his composure show nicks -- as when a café waiter brings him a double espresso in one cup instead of two espressos in separate cups, »

Trailer for Jarmusch’s The Limits of Control

5 March 2009 8:14 PM, PST | TheMovingPicture.net | See recent TheMovingPicture news »

A trailer for The Limits of Control, the latest flick from indie filmmaker Jim Jarmusch (Broken Flowers, Coffee and Cigarettes), has just surfaced. Opening in limited release May 22, Control stars Isaach De Bankolé, Hiam Abbass, Gael Garcia Bernal, Tilda Swinton, Paz de la Huerta, Alex Descas, John Hurt, Youki Kudoh, Jean-François Stévenin, Luis Tosar and Bill Murray. The Limits of Control is the story of a mysterious loner (De Bankole), a stranger, whose activities remain meticulously outside the law. He is in the process of completing a job, yet he trusts no one, and his objectives are not initially divulged. His journey, paradoxically both intently focused and dreamlike, takes him not only across Spain but also through his own consciousness. »

Limits of Control is Primed for Cannes

17 February 2009 | ioncinema | See recent ioncinema news »

- Normally I wouldn't pay much attention to a series of stills from an upcoming film, but such a crisp, distinct series of shots are worth drooling over and mentioning here. Not surprisingly, it's a Spain-based site that got a first look at the stills for Jim Jarmusch's latest (like Woody Allen, the filmmaker ventured out to Spain - I imagine the tax rebates and the locales make this a viable choice for foreign productions). The series shows off the international cast which features friends of the family (Bill Murray and Tilda Swinton from Broken Flowers, and some fantastic looking shots of Isaach De Bankolé from Ghost Dog) but also shows off the international flavors in under-appreciated Hiam Abbass, Spain's other great actor after Javier Bardem in Luis Tosar and (pictured above) the American actress with a foreign name in Paz de la Huerta -- who will be making »
