Inside track on the Oscars' supporting actor race
18 November 2009 11:22 AM, PST | Gold Derby | See recent Gold Derby news »
At this point on the derby track, with many films like "Invictus" and "The Lovely Bones" still unseen, it appears that there are three Oscar front-runners for best supporting actor: Christoph Waltz ("Inglourious Basterds"), Christopher Plummer ("The Last Station") and Alec Baldwin ("It's Complicated"). Waltz has been ahead for the last few months and may remain there, but remember this category is notoriously known as the veteran's achievement award (Alan Arkin in "Little Miss Sunshine," James Coburn in "Affliction"). Two notable veterans stand out. Plummer starred in Oscar best pictures "The Sound of Music" and "A Beautiful Mind" and won many industry honors (three Emmys plus several film critics' awards), but he's never been nominated... »

Decade in Review: 2001 Top Ten
17 November 2009 8:41 PM, PST | FilmExperience | See recent FilmExperience news »
What follows is my original top ten list of 2001. We'll discuss each year of the decade over the next month or two (we already did 2000). I do this because I am curious about which films "stick" and which fade and why and maybe you are too? Best year of the decade I think. The top five films would all be valid #1 film choices in some years. New comments are in red.
Note: This list references films released in NYC in 2001, not year of production or year in which they first the hit festival circuit or whatnot.
Runners Up (in descending order): Sexy Beast, Ali, Series 7: The Contenders, The Others, Last Resort and Waking Life. I don't remember loving Ali that much... and more than The Others? I don't remember that at all. I mean Nicole Kidman was the shit Twice Over in 2001.

“Creation” Movie Poster and Trailer
3 November 2009 10:37 AM, PST | Filmofilia | See recent Filmofilia news »
Check out the poster for “Creation,” a biopic movie telling the life of Charles Darwin.
A psychological, heart-wrenching love story starring Paul Bettany (A Beautiful Mind, Master and Commander: The Far Side of the World) as Charles Darwin, the film is based on “Annie’s Box,” a biography penned by Darwin’s great-great-grandson Randal Keynes using personal letters and diaries of the Darwin family. We take a unique and inside look at Darwin, his family and his love for his deeply religious wife, played by Jennifer Connelly (A Beautiful Mind, Requiem for a Dream), as, torn between faith and science, Darwin struggles to finish his legendary book “On the Origin of Species,” which goes on to become the foundation for evolutionary biology.
The film is directed by Jon Amiel (The Singing Detective, Entrapment) and writed by John Collee (Master and Commander: The Far Side of the World).

Adam Goldberg: Shooting To The Music
By
Adam Goldberg first brought his unique brand of manic intensity to Richard Linklater’s ensemble classic Dazed and Confused in 1993 and has since been featured in such varied films as 2 Days in Paris, A Beautiful Mind, Saving Private Ryan, How to Lose a Guy in 10 Days, The Hebrew Hammer and I Love Your Work, which he also directed. An actor with a talent for mining the neuroses of his character for both comedic and dramatic effect, Goldberg also played recurring roles in “Friends” and “Entourage.” Goldberg's music CD, "LANDy, Eros And Omissions," hit shelves June 23 of this year from Nine Yards Records.
Goldberg’s latest film, (Untitled), is a satirical comedy that has him playing Adrian Jacobs, a brooding avant-garde composer who falls for the gorgeous owner (Marley Shelton) of a trendy New York art gallery. The quirky worlds »

Oscar winner Jennifer Connelly plans to swap Hollywood for family life (IrishCentral)
30 October 2009 8:14 AM, PDT | IrishCentral | See recent IrishCentral news »
“A Beautiful Mind” star Jennifer Connelly admits she has no projects lined up for when she finishes filming the upcoming movie “What’s Wrong With Virginia?” The Irish-American Oscar winner, who raises sons Kai, 12, and Stellan, 6, with actor husband Paul Bettany, said: “The biggest thing for me is wanting my kids to grow up safely and have happy lives. To me that’s enough. “The family is the most important thing to me. I’m very blessed. I have gorgeous, healthy, funny kids and a good husband. “Becoming a mother has made all the difference in terms of learning to take responsibility for my life. Parenthood changed the way I do everything.” While both Connelly and Bettany have carved out successful acting careers, neither Kai – whose father is photographer David Dugan – nor Stellan want to follow in their footsteps.

The Good, The Bad And The Wtf: Let's Exploit Dead People
25 October 2009 6:24 PM, PDT | JustPressPlay.net | See recent JustPressPlay news »
Welcome to an oversized edition of "The Good, The Bad and the Wtf," to make up for last week's absence. This time, we take a look at X-Men updates, a Turtles buyout, David Spade's shamelessness, a Michael Jackson controversy and how Denzel Washington is allegedly the worst person on Earth.
The Good
• Talking to Empire mag, X-Men producer Lauren Shuler Donner updates fans on the status of future X-Men projects. Good news for those of you who were pissed off by Wolverine's treatment of Deadpool, because this is what Donner said about the proposed Deadpool movie:
I want to ignore the version of Deadpool that we saw in Wolverine and just start over again. Reboot it. Because this guy talks, obviously, and to muzzle him would be insane.
Cue collective sighs of relief.

Exclusive Interview: Adam Goldberg is Candid About '(Untitled)' Movie
21 October 2009 9:15 PM, PDT | CinemaSpy | See recent CinemaSpy news »
Fans of HBO’s Entourage know Adam Goldberg as Nick Rubenstein, the spoiled coke-addicted son of a famous movie producer who agrees to fund Medellin, Vince's ill-fated dream project. To others, he is Julie Delpy’s lover in the romantic drama 2 Days in Paris, or the "stereotypically Jewish" guy in films like Dazed and Confused and The Hebrew Hammer. Over the last decade or so, Goldberg has worked with a slew of top-drawer directors including Steven Spielberg (Saving Private Ryan) Tony Scott (Déjà vu), David Fincher (Zodiac), Richard Linklater (Waking Life) and Ron Howard (A Beautiful Mind), predominantly in supporting roles. He is also an accomplished musician and filmmaker.
Now, in the satirical spoof on New York’s Chelsea art scene (Untitled), Goldberg steps into the lead role as Adrian Jacobs, a brooding and sullen composer of esoteric discordant musical works that feature — among other sounds produced by ready-made everyday »
Akiva Goldsman Says Lobo Movie Design Is "Pretty Much Done"
20 October 2009 8:38 AM, PDT | Reelzchannel.com | See recent ReelzChannel news »
Award-winning screenwriter Akiva Goldsman (A Beautiful Mind) has thrown off the shackles of his comic book movie mistake, Batman & Robin, and is forging ahead with multiple comic adaptations. One he's especially excited about is a live-action version of DC Comics' Lobo, a nearly-immortal alien bounty hunter with a penchant for heavy metal, loose women, and extreme violence.
Guy Ritchie (RocknRolla) is attached to direct, and Goldsman told the La Times that he is excited to see what Ritchie can do with the character.
There's something hyperbolic and authentic about a Guy Ritchie movie. His best movie are deeply, deeply stylized yet they are all grounded; there's a grit of stylization, which sounds like an oxymoron but it makes perfect sense when you've seen his films.
We've never seen Guy's sensibility married to a project with such a large special effects budget.

Akiva Goldsman Wants to Direct Mark Helprin’s Winter’s Tale, Talks Lobo and Swamp Thing
20 October 2009 7:41 AM, PDT | Slash Film | See recent Slash Film news »
Hollywood loves Akiva Goldsman. No surprise. He's a geek at heart, and these days geeks make money. He's able to marry that sensibility with an approach that brings in adult audiences (The Da Vinci Code) and even wins awards (A Beautiful Mind). And yet a lot of us have a real mistrust of the writer, not even thanks to his credit on the execrable Batman and Robin, but for being the driving force behind turds like I Am Legend and I, Robot. Now Goldsman is ready to move into his next venture, directing, and he's got a project in mind, and a few big comic book properties already on his plate. Winter's Tale, the novel by Mark Helprin, is the story Goldsman is eyeing to direct. The La Times reports that the 1983 novel set in an alternate New York is the writer/producer's favorite novel. Winter's Tale has a strange »

New Version of Swamp Thing In Development
20 October 2009 | shocktillyoudrop.com | See recent shocktillyoudrop news »
The La Times Blog have run a fascinating article on Akiva Goldsman, writer on a handful of Ron Howard's most esteemed films such as A Beautiful Mind , Cinderella Man and The Da Vinci Code , as well as Will Smith's I Am Legend and (uh-hem) Batman & Robin . He stepped behind the camera to direct a few episodes of Fringe , but is most currently attached to produce several comic book properties for the big screen. One project of note is the new version of Swamp Thing , currently in-development. Goldsman told the publication that Swamp Thing will be closer in tone to the character as presented in Alan Moore's eerie, metaphysical horror comics rather than the rubber-suit bog creature from the 1982 Wes Craven movie.

Adam Goldberg Tackles the Art World in (Untitled)
20 October 2009 3:00 AM, PDT | TribecaFilm.com | See recent Tribeca Film news »
'I had some Excedrin, which has got a lot of caffeine in it, so I was jumpstarted prior to the interview,' Adam Goldberg tells me well into our interview. His credits are impressive and far-reaching; he's as well known for roles in Saving Private Ryan and A Beautiful Mind as he is for Dazed and Confused, The Salton Sea, The Hebrew Hammer, and Tribeca screener 2 Days in Paris. He's also done a fair share of TV, from his short stint on Friends as Chandler's creepy roommate to the all-too-brief 2009 season of The Unusuals on ABC. In his latest movie, (Untitled), fraternal jealousy, pretentious art, and love collide in a comedy that takes place in New York's art scene. Goldberg's Adrian, a scowling, self-absorbed composer whose chain-rattling music plays to near-empty rooms, catches gallery owner Madeleine Gray's (Marley Shelton) icy blonde attention both artistically and romantically as she leads »
Goldsman Talks 'Jonah Hex', 'The Losers', 'Lobo'
18 October 2009 9:40 PM, PDT | CinemaSpy | See recent CinemaSpy news »
The name still causes comic book fans to involuntarily clench their fists: Akiva Goldsman.
Yes, that Akiva Goldsman, who wrote the screenplay for the 1997 Batman & Robin, considered by many to be among the worst translations of comics to film ever made. The film was not a financial dud, but the critical beating it took essentially put the Batman film franchise into hibernation for eight years.
More than a decade later, there has yet to be a critical re-evaluation in the movie’s favor, yet here is Goldsman, his career seemingly doing better than ever. In 2002, he took home an Oscar for writing Ron Howard’s A Beautiful Mind; and in a recent interview with the Los Angeles Times, he talked about his upcoming film projects, which ironically, include no less than three comic book adaptations.
Goldsman wrote the screenplays for the upcoming Jonah Hex, as well as The Losers, which hits theaters next year. »
Akiva Goldsman Talks Comic Book Movies
18 October 2009 2:54 AM, PDT | Reelzchannel.com | See recent ReelzChannel news »
It may be unfair to place the blame for the demise of the original Batman franchise at the feet of Akiva Goldsman, but he did write the screenplay for the Joel Schumacher-directed disaster that was Batman & Robin, a fact that does not escape Goldsman.
What got lost in Batman & Robin is the emotions aren't real. The worst thing to do with a serious comic book is to make it a cartoon. I'm still answering for that movie with some people.
Following Batman & Robin, Goldsman's screenwriting career took a hit. However, writing the screenplay for the multiple Academy Award-winning film A Beautiful Mind helped put Goldsman back on the map and he followed it up with a string of high-profile scripts, including The Da Vinci Code, Angels & Demons, I Am Legend, and I, Robot. Despite Batman & Robin, Goldsman has not sworn off superheroes or comic book properties. Goldsman is currently »

Naomi Watts: The Biggest Bang For The Studio Buck
7 October 2009 4:37 PM, PDT | HollywoodNorthReport.com | See recent HollywoodNorthReport.com news »
Australian actress Naomi "Eastern Promises" Watts, has topped a survey @ Forbes.Com , analyzing which leading film actress "...provides the best return for a film studio investment...". Forbes considered a movie's estimated budget, box office returns, DVD and television earnings in their analysis of actress' wages. Watts was estimated to have enabled the studios to earn $44 for every $1 she was paid for her last three major films. Jennifer "A Beautiful Mind" Connelly, placed second with her films earning $41 for each dollar she was paid. Canadian actress Rachel "Sherlock Holmes" McAdams, came in third with $30 for every $1 earned. Fourth was Natalie "Star Wars" Portman bringing in $28 for every $1 she was paid. Meryl "Mama Mia" Streep also made the top five earning $27 for every $1 paid... »
Josh Brolin replaces Sean Penn in ‘Cartel’
1 October 2009 11:52 AM, PDT | ReelLoop.com | See recent Reel Loop news »
With Sean Penn out, Josh Brolin will star in the Asger Leth-directed drama, Cartel, from Universal Pictures.
Penn left the project in June to spend more time with his family. His departure also left a gap in the upcoming Farrelly Brothers comedy The Three Stooges to which I say “hoorah.”
Cartel and Stooges are two out of five projects that the Oscar-winning actor abandoned.
Brolin will play a character hell-bent on protecting his son after his wife is brutally murdered by a Mexican drug cartel. The drama is inspired by the ‘93 Italian film La scorta by director Ricky Tognazzi. The film followed four cops who struggle to “guard a special prosecutor trying to bring mob bosses to justice.”
Production on Cartel begins in January in beautiful Mexico City with a script from Peter Craig.
Brian Grazer (Frost/Nixon, A Beautiful Mind) is producing.

Newmarket Will Stage Creation
24 September 2009 4:24 PM, PDT | Atomic Popcorn | See recent Atomic Popcorn news »
Creation, the Charles Darwin biopic starring A Beautiful Mind stars Paul Bettany and Jennifer Connelly, has been in release limbo for a while due to the fact that no distributor — for whatever reason — wanted to touch it. Directed by The Core helmer Jon Amiel, Creation stars Bettany and Connelly as Darwin and wife Emma in a movie that met bland to negative reactions from the Toronto International Film Festival.
Now, according to Variety, Newmarket Films, the distributor of Passion of the Christ, has picked up the film and slotted it for a December release. Thus, sooner rather than later we’ll be able to see if the film, scripted by John Collee (Master and Commander: The Far Side of the World) is any good.
Little known fact: Connelly and Bettany are real life husband and wife. That, and between Creation, Legion and Priest, every film Bettany is involved with at »
