Prince Caspian To Star In Killing Bono
14 December 2009 3:29 PM, PST | cinemablend.com | See recent Cinema Blend news »
Could the latest trend in Hollywood be rock star biopics? Well, kind of. We.ve got The Runways on the way and now there.s Killing Bono, a film based on the book Killing Bono: I Was Bono.s Doppelganger. The thing is, it depicts the band from an unusual perspective. I.ve never read the book, but after reading a handful of reviews, the general consensus seems to be that it.s less about U2 and more about author Neil McCormick.s jealousy of Bono.s success. According to Variety, the film will be .chronicling the early days of U2 from a rival band.s perspective.. Chronicles of Narnia's Ben Barnes is set to star and, based on that mini-synopsis, I.d guess he.s not playing Bono, rather McCormick. It.s also been announced that Breaking Bad.s Krysten Ritter will be co-starring as well as Charlie Cox »
Krysten Ritter Will Kill ‘Bono’
14 December 2009 5:39 AM, PST | ReelLoop.com | See recent Reel Loop news »
Watch out, U2 fans. Breaking Bad’s Krysten Ritter has signed on for a film entitled Killing Bono, based on the book Killing Bono: I Was Bono’s Doppleganger by Neil McCormick.
While not the most eloquent title in the history of the written word, Killing Bono follows the early days of the famous band, but from the perspective of a rival band. Here’s a publisher synopsis:
“Everyone wants to be famous. But as a young punk in Dublin in the 1970s, Neil McCormick’s ambitions went way beyond mere pop stardom. It was his destiny to be a veritable Rock God. He had it all worked out: the albums, the concerts, the quest for world peace. There was only one thing he hadn’t counted on. The boy sitting on the other side of the classroom had plans of his own.
Killing Bono is a story of divergent lives. »

Glorious 39 – Taking Another Look
20 November 2009 3:25 AM, PST | HeyUGuys.co.uk | See recent HeyUGuys news »
Stephen Poliakoff’s dark, labyrinthine account of England’s tumble into the Second World War was premiered at the London Film Festival this year and we were impressed by it.
As today sees the film’s release I wanted to take another look at this drama, to see if it lives up to its name.
Glorious 39 is not as glamorous as the marketing would have us believe. The posters suggest a costume drama about the brilliant and carefree life of British Aristocracy in the world of “Jeeves and Wooster”, with the faint whiff of a world war in the air. Instead, the new film by Stephen Poliakoff turns into an interesting and almost Hitchcockian conspiracy thriller.
“Almost” – because it seems that the director can not decide what type of film he is directing and keeps swinging between historic political drama and conspiracy thriller. As a result the film’s »

BFI Lff Review: Glorious 39
27 October 2009 2:55 PM, PDT | HeyUGuys.co.uk | See recent HeyUGuys news »
Glorious 39 marks acclaimed filmmaker Stephen Poliakoff’s return to the big screen after twelve long years and it is an epic triumph of ambition and craft, delivering a superb and engaging thriller of duplicity and deceit on the eve of World War II.
Threatened by the impending ‘little war’ the aristocracy, fearing their way of life will be destroyed by Hitler’s army, adopt an aggressive strategy of appeasement and it is this anxiety which propels the plot of Poliakoff’s script forward. The uncertainty and tension of the late summer of 1939 is our scene and an intriguing and poignant journey into the darkness of war produces an unforgettable drama from a writer and director whose ability to illuminate the harrowing detail of betrayal and heartache has never been more potent.
The formidable cast, eager to work with Poliakoff in the first feature production for over a decade, is headed by Romola Garai, »

10 Most Underrated Young Actors
12 October 2009 7:54 PM, PDT | The Movie Fanatic | See recent The Movie Fanatic news »
Cinema is filled with multi-talented young actors who bring to life all types of characters. Sometimes, a role is given to the wrong guy - just because he has the looks (pin-up pretty, looks awesome wearing trunks) and the connection (a powerful talent agent at his side). But when the role is given to the right guy - moviegoers get to witness something unique, memorable and powerful, even magical. Anyway, even the 'right guy' needs an agent, of course...
- - -
- - - Underrated versus Overrated: If you've watched Jumper, then you'll notice the difference between Jamie Bell and Hayden Christensen - Bell has undeniable screen presence, I can't say the same with Hayden. It could have been different if Tom Sturridge was retained to play Hayden's part. Anyway, who am I to argue? Christensen has more box office appeal than the relatively unknown Sturridge, but acting-wise?

Anderson, Cox & Sutherland Sign On For ‘Moby Dick’
29 September 2009 8:00 AM, PDT | ScreenRant.com | See recent Screen Rant news »
The $25 million made-for-tv adaptation of Herman Melville’s iconic tale, Moby Dick, has added Gillian Anderson (The X-Files), Charlie Cox (Stardust) and Donald Sutherland (It’s Donald Sutherland) to their already talented cast. As we’ve previously reported, William Hurt and Ethan Hawke have already signed on to star as the obsessive Captain Ahab (Hurt) and his unruly first officer, Starbuck (Hawke).
With Moby Dick being the most expensive production to date for Tele Munchen Group (Tmg), they’re leaving nothing to chance. Nigel Williams has penned the script with Mike Barker directing. Barker is best known for directing the critically acclaimed, Sea Wolf, while Williams famously wrote the script for the award-winning 2005 miniseries, Elizabeth I. Both Sea Wolf and Elizabeth I are Tmg productions.
Being a fan of the HBO series, Elizabeth I, and I’m interested in seeing what Williams will do with Melville’s novel. While I »

Film Focus: Glorious 39 - Romola Garai returns to form!
21 September 2009 5:32 PM, PDT | The Movie Fanatic | See recent The Movie Fanatic news »
Even in Francois Ozon's disappointing first English language film Angel, I'm still enraptured by the magnificence of Romola Garai. If ever there is an actress who can do no wrong, even if the movie is an utter failure, Garai would be that actress. In Steven Poliakoff's Glorious 39, Garai continues to shine.

Funded by BBC Films, the UK Film Council, Screen East and Quickfire Films, 1939 is set in the Norfolk countryside on the eve of the war and in modern-day London. The story centres on Anne Keyes, the daughter of a traditional English family, played by Atonement star Garai. Poliakoff said he was excited to be making a film about "the extraordinary machinations that went on in British society on the eve of war".
"It is truly thrilling to be making it with such a tremendous cast which combines some of the most exciting »
