From Pirate to Revolutionary, Johnny Depp Might Be Pancho Villa

3 December 2009 12:38 PM, PST | firstshowing.net | See recent FirstShowing.net news »

Johnny Depp's experience playing characters of different ethnic backgrounds is mostly limited to different variations of regular English accents. From old English (Sleepy Hollow) to drunk English (Pirates of the Caribbean), there aren't many dialects left in the United Kingdom he hasn't tackled. But now Depp will be sailing into semi-unfamiliar waters as Variety reports that he is in negotiations to star as the titular Mexican revolutionary in Seven Friends of Pancho Villa and the Woman With Six Fingers. Also in talks to co-star is the lovely Selma Hayek who previously worked with Depp in Once Upon a Time in Mexico. The biopic will be based on the more novel titled The Friends of Pancho Villa, written by James Carlos Blake, which focuses on how Villa, an early 20th-century bandit who became a guerilla fighter and a hero to the poor, and his ragtag team of bandits had a »

Clip joint: the best film clips featuring bridges

3 December 2009 4:31 AM, PST | The Guardian - Film News | See recent The Guardian - Film News news »

This week, nilpferd wants us all to link up, join together and only connect with the best film clips featuring bridges

Bridges are essential film furniture. And not just because they are large, iconic objects whose construction, capture or destruction can take up whole afternoon matinees. A dauntingly high bridge is the ideal suspense building bottleneck in an action film – and if it happens to be a hanging walkway with rotting boards and fraying twine, so much the worse for vertigo-stricken heroes and the better for us viewers.

Slow the pace down, and the bridge's function as a connector comes into focus – crossing it can bring irreversible changes, but it can also act as a facilitator of exchange and interaction. Yet beyond these functional roles, bridges possess magical qualities which make them ideal for cinema. Neither here nor quite there, they exist somewhere in-between.

Exclusive: Get an Inside Look At Tim Burton’s MoMa Exhibit

1 December 2009 11:00 AM, PST | The Flickcast | See recent The Flickcast news »

While most film directors are considered “artists”, there are only a few that fit that role to it’s essential definition. Tim Burton is a filmmaker, writer, painter, and photographer. These skills alone could warrant him a feature at most museums, before you even take into account the vast worlds that Burton has created with every one of his films. We were lucky enough to get an exclusive peak at the brand new Tim Burton Exhibit in New York’s Museum of Modern Art sponsored by the SyFy channel, and we were blown away.

Starting with the opening hallway, the very first room lets you into Burton’s twisted Carnival setting, in which black light, several neon paintings, and a single rotating object sits in the center of the room. This alone is enough to make most cheap haunted houses worth it, and the real exhibit hasn’t even started. »

Alice in Wonderland Costumer Colleen Atwood: 'It's Going To Be Amazing'

24 November 2009 7:00 AM, PST | Movieline | See recent Movieline news »

Think of the look of any Johnny Depp character from the Tim Burton universe -- from Edward Scissorhands' bondage buckles to Ed Wood's angora sweaters to the breeches and waistcoasts of Sleepy Hollow's Ichabod Crane -- and Colleen Atwood was the woman who envisioned and executed it. One of the most sought-after and gifted costume designers working in Hollywood today, Atwood has been nominated for an astounding eight Academy Awards, of which she's won two -- for Chicago and Memoirs of a Geisha. Just reading about her 2009 slate is enough to render you exhausted: good thing she had Depp's measurements seared into her memory when work began on Michael Mann's Public Enemies (which comes out on Blu-ray and DVD Dec. 8th); then there was the business of putting all those other Oscar winners into revealing outfits for Nine; and let's not forget Mr. Burton, who called »

Full Alice in Wonderland Triptych Poster Finally Unveiled

16 November 2009 5:21 PM, PST | firstshowing.net | See recent FirstShowing.net news »

Last week, Disney kicked off a small viral with The Mad Hatter on Facebook who was leading us to some "treasure." As we quickly found out, his treasure was a series of three posters for Tim Burton's Alice in Wonderland that when put together would give us a good look at all the characters from the movie. The complete reveal took a lot longer than Disney expected, and although they didn't even reach their final goal, they just said to hell with it and put out the final poster anyway. So here it is, the complete triptych poster for Alice in Wonderland for your viewing pleasure. Click the photo or head to Flickr to see it in high res. Alice in Wonderland is directed by visionary filmmaker Tim Burton, of everything from Pee-Wee's Big Adventure to Beetlejuice to Batman to Edward Scissorhands to Mars Attacks to Sleepy Hollow to »

Johnny Depp Vows To Save Nicolas Cage From Financial Ruin

12 November 2009 11:27 PM, PST | icelebz.com | See recent iCelebz news »

Johnny Depp has vowed to save Nicolas Cage from financial ruin. The "Pirates of the Caribbean" hunk was horrified to hear the actor has ran into difficulties over a million tax bill and has pledged to support the "Con Air" hunk through his plight because of the assistance he gave Johnny when he was first trying to make it in Hollywood.

A friend of the pair told Britain's Daily Express newspaper: "Johnny called Nicolas and basically told him not to worry and he'd help him and sort everything out."

"Johnny feels he owes his career to Nicolas and now wants to repay him - if Nicolas agrees."

"Johnny has never forgotten what Nic did for him."

Nicolas met Johnny over 20 years ago when the "Sleepy Hollow" star was a struggling musician.

Black Adder Remastered: The Ultimate Edition DVD Review

11 November 2009 1:45 PM, PST | Collider.com | See recent Collider.com news »

I am an anglophile.  I will own up to that straight out of the gate.  I grew up watching every BBC program offered by my local PBS station.  That’s how I came to start my lifelong relationship with Monty Python.  That’s where my fascination with Red Dwarf began.  That’s how I came across Rowan Atkinson’s gem of a series Black Adder.  Brit humor fans click to find more after the jump.

I was shocked, utterly dismayed actually, by the number of my friends who consider themselves pop culture princes and princesses and yet weren’t familiar with the masterpiece that is Black Adder.  For those similarly uninitiated, Black Adder encompasses four series, each series containing six episodes a piece.  Each series is set in a specific time period and follows the Blackadder that lives during that age.  While the exact characters differ between series the actor and name stays consistent. »

The Reincarnation Of David Fincher

8 November 2009 11:04 PM, PST | EmpireOnline | See recent EmpireOnline news »

David Fincher's next gig, following Facebook app The Social Network which he's just started shooting, looks set to be The Reincarnation of Peter Proud. It'll re-team the director with Seven's writer Andrew Kevin Walker, who will adapt the novel by Max Ehrlich.The 35-year-old supernatural thriller involves a university lecturer's attempts to prove he's the reincarnation of somebody who died shortly before he was born, and to solve the mystery of his murder, for which the killer was never caught. It was filmed once before: a 1975 Bing Crosby production by J Lee Thompson, starring Margot Kidder and Michael Sarrazin, and adapted by Ehrlich himself. We all know David Fincher's stellar trajectory from Alien 3 to Benjamin Button, but Walker's path has been rockier. He followed Seven with the dodgy 8mm (heavily rewritten by Joel Schumacher) and Tim Burton's awesome Sleepy Hollow, but then, through uncredited rewrites »

From Seven to The Reincarnation Of Peter Proud - David Fincher and Andrew Kevin Walker Reunite

8 November 2009 10:39 PM, PST | Collider.com | See recent Collider.com news »

Can two former collaborators once again create the movie magic where a film builds to a point of having Brad Pitt cry, “What’s in the box?!  What’s in the fucking box?!” I think “Seven” is a highly entertaining film but what will director David Fincher and screenwriter Andrew Kevin Walker create 15 years later?  It looks like we’re going to find out.  The two have re-teamed to adapt the supernatural thriller “The Reincarnation of Peter Proud”.  Hit the jump for more details.

According to Heat Vision, David Fincher is attached to direct the new adaptation of the Max Ehrlich novel, “The Reincarnation of Peter Proud” which will be penned by Andrew Kevin Walker. Fincher will produce with Michael De Luca.  De Luca is also part of the reunion as he was the president of production over at New Line when Fincher and Walker made “Seven”.

Who Should Direct 'Breaking Dawn'? Tim Burton!

5 November 2009 1:30 PM, PST | MTV Movies Blog | See recent MTV Movies Blog news »

From MTV.Com: Tim Burton digs supernatural stories: the goth-comic ghost tale of "Beetlejuice," the headless killer from the great beyond in "Sleepy Hollow," the undead love story of "Corpse Bride." In a way, Burton knows vampires too, resurrecting Bela Lugosi — the definitive cinematic Count Dracula — in the Oscar-winning biopic "Ed Wood."

All of this has made "New Moon" vampire Jamie Campbell Bower think that Burton should direct "Breaking Dawn," the expected film adaptation of the final book in Stephenie Meyer's "Twilight" series.

Movies That Make Me Think of Halloween

30 October 2009 9:51 PM, PDT | FilmExperience | See recent FilmExperience news »

Recycled Film Experience! I wrote some of this in advance -- years in advance in fact -- to free up time to enjoy this costume crazed holiday. I originally published this list in 2005, but I've tweaked it some. Plus, not all of you were around in 2005. Herewith, the top 12 movies that remind me of Halloween. It's a top ten list and it's not even Tuesday. I'm so generous.

12 The Batman franchise (1989-2008)

In 1997 I went out Halloween clubbing as the Uma version of Poison Ivy. Whenever you dress up as a movie character the year the movie comes out, you'll have competition. There was another Poison Ivy there but I buried her, I promise. I had the horns and all the details, see. It was the longest I ever spent getting ready for Halloween (which is saying something): glue guns, orange wigs, fake foliage, you name it. I don't try as hard anymore. »

tMF Featured Trailer: Alice in Wonderland (Extended)

- - - I have no idea if there is really something extended in the extended Alice in Wonderland trailer, but I'm a big fan of Tim Burton, and what better way to celebrate the coming Holloween than posting something that somehow relates to it? In this case, Burton has made some pretty amazing movies that's dark, spooky, scary and worth it - Sleepy Hollow, Beetle Juice and Sweeny Todd, to name a few.

His version of Alice in Wonderland is scheduled for a March 2010 release, which is 5 months away, but hey the trailer looks impossibly awesome! Plus, Mia Wasikowska - who plays Alice - is a young actress to watch. Watch the trailer after the jump!

Villains We Love: The Headless Horseman

22 October 2009 6:15 PM, PDT | Cinematical | See recent Cinematical news »

While other countries have headless riders roaming their empty places, I believe America can lay claim to The Headless Horseman. Born out of the mists of early America, the Horseman is a vengeful, anonymous Hessian who lost his head to a cannonball during the American Revolution. While it's popularly assumed he rides around looking for his head (and claiming any he comes across along the way), he actually has it resting on the pommel of his saddle. He doesn't need a new head. He's just sadistic.

As a kid, I firmly believed the Hessian was a real Sleepy Hollow legend, and finding out that he was just an invention by Washington Irving was a bitter disappointment. But now I find it impressive that a mere short story has worked itself so deeply into American folklore to become one of our most iconic horror characters. He's enigmatic and elegant in his hunting, »
