Dark Shadows Confirmed for a Fall 2010 Start Date
7 December 2009 2:01 PM, PST | DreadCentral.com | See recent Dread Central news »
Over the past few years news stories about the Tim Burton/Johnny Depp version of Dark Shadows have popped up every couple of months, and today another one came along in which we finally got solid confirmation as to the film's start day. To that I can only say "Hooray!"
Producer Graham King (whose credits include Gangs of New York, The Aviator, and The Departed) told Sci Fi Wire that the film will begin production in the fall with Depp portraying his childhood hero, Barnabas Collins.
Burton is still finishing post-production on Alice in Wonderland, which also stars Depp and opens March 5, 2010. King is already prepping production on Dark Shadows with screenwriters so that it is ready for Burton to shoot next fall. "We've been working on the script a lot, even though he's working on Alice," King said. "We've been given a script. John August wrote the first screenplay. »

Graham King on Producing and Future Projects Like The Tourist, Edge Of Darkness, Rango, More
6 December 2009 8:13 PM, PST | Collider.com | See recent Collider.com news »
A native of the United Kingdom, Graham King has emerged as a formidable producer of both major motion pictures and independent features. His independent production company, Gk Films, launched in 2007 with business partner Tim Headington and the soon to be released period film The Young Victoria was the first film produced under this new banner.
Since then, Gk Films completed shooting the thriller Edge of Darkness, based on the BBC mini-series of the same name and starring Mel Gibson, which will be released in January 2010. Other Gk Films projects in various stages of production or development are The Tourist with Johnny Depp and Angelina Jolie, Rum Diary starring Johnny Depp, the crime drama London Boulevard starring Colin Farrell and Keira Knightley, the children’s book adaptation The Invention of Hugo Cabret, Ben Affleck’s latest directorial feature The Town and the animated feature Rango, featuring the voice of Johnny Depp. »

John’s Top Eleven Films of the Decade
6 December 2009 3:47 PM, PST | ReelLoop.com | See recent Reel Loop news »
I was just under 11 years old as we entered the 2000s, and in the last decade I have made it my mission to fill the space in my mind that should be reserved for academics to remembering the details of far too many films. In looking back upon this decade, it seems that we’ve had quite a good chunk of time for movies — there are only two years absent on my top ten list: 2000 and 2005, while 2006 is represented by three films. I still cheated, though, by extending my list to eleven entries. Some were just too good to decide between.
I hope you enjoy reading this as much as I enjoyed writing it. And before you start — don’t cry. The Dark Knight isn’t on here.
11. The Royal Tenenbaums – 2001
Spoiler: you’re going to find that comedy is slightly underrepresented on this list, with Wes Anderson’s The Royal Tenenbaums »

Decade in Review: 2002 Top Ten
2 December 2009 7:58 PM, PST | FilmExperience | See recent FilmExperience news »
As with 2000 and 2001, I'm reprinting my original top ten lists and commentary. If I've got something new to say, it'll be in red below.
Please note: This list was based on NYC release dates in the year 2002. Some movies are listed as different years at the IMDb based on when they were produced or released in their home country or in La or whatnot.
Undervalued: Morvern Callar, Roger Dodger, About a Boy, White Oleander, Panic Room and Kissing Jessica Stein Top 10 Runners Up: Chicago, Monsoon Wedding, Punch Drunk Love and Spirited Away I still am glad I championed most of these movies though I am sad that some of them aren't in the top ten... particularly Morvern, Monsoon and the Miyazaki. The MMMs. Though I'm not sure I'd know what to remove to make room for them.

Happy Birthday, Martin Scorsese: Wake-Up Video
17 November 2009 7:00 AM, PST | MTV Newsroom | See recent MTV Newsroom news »
Being a legend can be tough. Sometimes you're not entirely appreciated until after you die (or at least until after you stop making work that people pay attention to). Sometimes it's worse than that, and you're forced to toil under the burden of your past accomplishments, forever failing to live up to what you did decades ago. This is especially true in the film world. Because the lifespan of a director can cross over a number of eras, movements and business outlooks, it seems like a number of artists whose places in the annals of movie history were formerly secure now struggle to find relevance.
Martin Scorsese doesn't have that problem. He's a rare combination of living legend and active genius, constantly pushing himself to the limit and experimenting with his storytelling skills. He could have easily settled into a pattern of simple crime dramas for the rest of his career, »

Free Flick of the Day: The Boxer
16 November 2009 5:15 PM, PST | Cinematical | See recent Cinematical news »
It has taken me a long, long time to warm up to Daniel Day-Lewis. Despite first meeting him in the tender and gentler characters he played in A Room With a View and The Age of Innocence, he was always that terrifying Method guy who sharpened knives on set and ate his own kills. I don't want to say I was scared of him, but I found him brilliantly off-putting, which is why I never saw The Boxer until this past weekend.
Directed by Jim Sheridan, The Boxer delves into the last gasp of the Troubles in Ireland. Former Ira member Danny Flynn (Day-Lewis) is released from prison on the verge of the 1998 peace treaty. He simply wants to get back to his life, resume a boxing career, and live in peace. But his former Ira allies are busy plotting last ditch efforts of violence, and they're furious at his neutrality. »

Scorsese to Receive DeMille Award at Golden Globes
14 November 2009 6:07 PM, PST | GetTheBigPicture.net | See recent Get The Big Picture news »
You could give Martin Scorsese just about any award you want and I don't think anyone would protest. Though he emerged at a time when American film was really blossoming, you could really only argue that among his contemporaries, Steven Spielberg is on the same level. Even then, I'm not certain Spielberg has been as consistent or as daring as Scorsese has in his career. They're also shooting for different goals most of the time.
A couple years ago, Scorsese finally got his Oscar, even if it's not the best example of his work and certainly not the first time he earned the award. At the Golden Globes in January, Scorsese will receive the Cecil B. DeMille Award for his "outstanding contribution to the entertainment field." Spielberg, incidentally, won this past year.

Hollywood and Its Antecedents: Michael Mann's "The Last of the Mohicans"
14 November 2009 5:30 PM, PST | The Auteurs | See recent The Auteurs news »
The Last of the Mohicans screened in Chicago on October 26 as part of Doc Films' Michael Mann retrospective.
***
The auteurist defense of Michael Mann tends to overlook that his creative freedom came only after years of playing by Hollywood's rules and that even his most personal films exist within popular genres. Mann's debt to modern Hollywood is most evident in The Last of the Mohicans(1992), a film whose very conception—a big-budget action movie with specious literary pedigree—reflects the cake-and-eat-it mentality of the latter-day blockbuster. Over and over, it eschews detail that would allow us to better understand character, setting, and conflict in favor of violent action; and often, what remains of the former is perfunctory, and bound to cliché. I can’t attribute these faults entirely to Mann: IMDb reports that his original cut of the film was around three hours and that Twentieth Century Fox rushed him »
New Double-Feature Soundtrack Coming: The House of the Devil / I Can See You

Scorsese to Receive Honorary Golden Globe
13 November 2009 1:21 PM, PST | Reelzchannel.com | See recent ReelzChannel news »
The Hollywood Foreign Press will bestow its honorary Cecil B. DeMille Award to Martin Scorsese during the Golden Globes on January 17, according to Variety.
Scorsese, who is a few days from his 67th birthday, is responsible for several movies legendary for their gritty, sometimes expressionistic, portrayals of violence. These include Mean Streets, Taxi Driver, Raging Bull, and GoodFellas.
He also crafted many underrated gems that explored various social and cultural issues. These include The King of Comedy (the obsessions of celebrity culture), The Last Temptation of Christ (a non-Gospel, first-person telling of Jesus's internal struggle), Kundun (the life of the Dalai Lama), and Alice Doesn't Live Here Anymore (the trials of single-motherhood).
The DeMille Award recognizes the lifetime achievement of various actors and directors. Recent recipients include Steven Spielberg, Robin Williams, and Al Pacino. Earlier recipients include Walt Disney, Fred Astaire, Judy Garland, and Alfred Hitchcock, among others. You can »

Martin Scorsese to Receive Golden Globes' Cecil B. DeMille Award
12 November 2009 10:09 PM, PST | firstshowing.net | See recent FirstShowing.net news »
For my money, Martin Scorsese is one of the most influential filmmakers working in Hollywood today, and his films are nothing short of inspirational, provocative labors of love and life. It seems the Hollywood Foreign Press Association also agrees as Variety reports that he will be this year's recipient of the Cecil B. DeMille Award recognizing a person's outstanding contribution to the entertainment field, which just last year was given to Scorsese's longtime friend, fellow filmmaker Steven Spielberg. Scorsese will be honored by several of his peers and collaborators when the show (hosted by Ricky Gervais) airs live January 17th. Scorsese has received two Golden Globe Awards for his work as director on The Departed and Gangs of New York as well as nominations in directing for Casino, Age of Innocence, Goodfellas and Raging Bull. As overly-long and boring as the awards shows usually are, I love these lifetime achievement »

Martin Scorsese To Be Honored at 2010 Golden Globes with Cecil B. DeMille Award
12 November 2009 12:59 PM, PST | Collider.com | See recent Collider.com news »
In January, the Hollywood Foreign Press Association (HFPA) will bestow the Honorary Cecile B. DeMille Award to Martin Scorsese for “his outstanding contribution to the entertainment field,” to which we say “Congratulations, Mr. Scorsese.” Of course, any award honoring Scorsese’s career is well-earned by the prolific and influential director. His lengthy and diverse filmography naturally contains movies which flopped and received no support from film critics, but when you look at his hits, he has left an unforgettable stamp on not only American cinema, but on audiences the world over. That his work continues to improve and defy simple definition is an inspiration to aspiring filmmakers and a challenge to his peers. There’s only one complaint people have about the awards Scorsese receives: they’re overdue.

The Hollywood Foreign Press has just announced Martin Scorsese will be the recipient of the Cecil B. DeMille Award for his "outstanding contribution to the entertainment field" at the 2010 Golden Globe Awards. He follows up last year's recipient Steven Spielberg who, perhaps not so coincidentally, was presented the award by Scorsese.
Scorsese won his first Best Director Oscar in 2007, but before that won a Golden Globe for directing Gangs of New York as well as also winning a Globe for The Departed.
The 67th Annual Golden Globe Awards will take place on January 17 and hosted Ricky Gervais. The ceremony will be broadcast live coast to coast Sunday, January 17 on NBC (5 to 8 pm Pt, 8 to 11 pm Et) from The Beverly Hilton. Nominations will be announced at 5:00 a.m. on Tuesday, December 15. »
