Preview: The Twilight Saga: New Moon
13 November 2009 4:01 PM, PST | HeyUGuys.co.uk | See recent HeyUGuys news »
Four years ago, the first of Stephenie Meyer’s Twilight Saga novels was published. Four novels and one smash hit movie later, and Twilight has become a global phenomena every bit as huge as Harry Potter. Next week sees the release of the second movie in the Twilight Saga, New Moon. Based on the novel of the same name, also the second in the series, the story this time focuses on werewolves, in the shape of the Quileute tribe.
At the end of the first film, Edward and Bella Swan returned to Forks, Washington together. As New Moon begins, Edward and his family leave town in an attempt to keep Bella safe. Feeling hurt and confused, Bella takes to an old motorcycle and hits the road. Bella has discovered that she can have visions of her love Edward whenever she get’s an adrenaline rush, so she goes out in search of danger. »

Exclusive Interview: Chris Weitz (New Moon Director) - Part I
12 November 2009 11:44 PM, PST | PopStar | See recent PopStar news »
Chris Weitz had a tough act to follow. The talented writer-producer-director had directed such films as American Pie (1999), About a Boy (2002), and The Golden Compass (2007), and now he's the man behind the camera on one of the year's most breathlessly anticipated movies, The Twilight Saga: New Moon (2009). Just that title alone clues you into the myriad tasks and quandaries at hand for Weitz: he was stepping into an existing franchise that got off to a blockbuster start last year with Twilight (2008); he was taking over from another director (Catherine Hardwicke) with an entirely different style; he was inheriting a cast -- including Kristen Stewart, Robert Pattinson, and Taylor Lautner -- already intimately familiar with their respective roles, and he was directing a movie that was no longer just a sequel to a popular movie, but rather the next installment in a billion-dollar phenomenon. PopStar recently spoke with Weitz by telephone »

Harvey Keitel is Now Part of the 'Focker' Franchise
12 November 2009 2:52 AM, PST | Rope of Silicon | See recent Rope Of Silicon news »
One of the most annoying things about throwing yourself knee deep into movies a little later in life is all the catching up involved. It's endlessly frustrating to know I have seen all but one of Paul Weitz's films and still haven't seen everything from Spielberg or even Scorsese. What's even more frustrating is I am expecting to receive About a Boy from Netflix in the next couple of days, which will complete my viewing of the Paul Weitz-directed filmography. Of course, that's my fault for not renting The Sugarland Express or Bringing Out the Dead, but after seeing the lame Cirque du Freak: The Vampire's Assistant and American Dreamz before that, I needed to see why so many people kept telling me to see About a Boy just so I can mark it off my list and be done with Weitz. That is until he unleashes the »

Casting News: Harvey Keitel Joins Those Little Fockers, Zachary Quinto Eying Romantic Dramedy Whirligig
12 November 2009 2:00 AM, PST | Slash Film | See recent Slash Film news »
In casting news tonight, we've learned that Harvey Keitel is joining those crazy Fockers. He's signed on for Little Fockers, the sequel to Meet the Fockers, and the Focker-pun free title Meet the Parents. He's joining returning cast members Ben Stiller, Robert DeNiro, Teri Polo, and Owen Wilson. Keitel will be playing the role of a contractor employed by Stiller's character. The film will be directed by Paul Weitz (American Pie, About A Boy), who's surely looking to move on after Cirque du Freak bombed. I liked the first film well enough, but I'm really wondering how much longer this franchise is going to live on. Will we see the baby Fockers in question growing up while having to deal with their unfortunate last name? Perhaps a Future Fockers down the line? The possibilities are focking endless! Also, in news that will surely make Zachary Quinto fangirls happy, the Heroes »

tMF Exclusive Interview - Nicholas Hoult: A Fascinating Study of Character
11 November 2009 6:30 AM, PST | The Movie Fanatic | See recent The Movie Fanatic news »
A Single Man, The Weinstein Company's Oscar bet this year, is a fascinating study of characters. Based on the novel by Christopher Isherwood, it depicts one day in the life of George, a middle-aged gay Englishman who works as a college professor in Los Angeles and whose lover, Jim, has recently died. - - -
- - - Playing Kenny, "a pretty-boy college student who appears to be stalking George (Colin Firth)", is Nicholas Hoult. During its La Press day, tMF was able to secure a phone interview with the young British actor. It must have been a tiresome day for Nicholas Hoult, but I never noticed, even once, any indication. Hoult was quite charming, seriously answered all my questions and even volunteered to add a few tidbits or two. What's so interesting is that he's very courteous, unlike some of the young actors based in Hollywood.

New Moon Chris Weitz Interview
8 November 2009 8:00 PM, PST | MoviesOnline.ca | See recent MoviesOnline news »
MoviesOnline sat down recently with director Chris Weitz, screenwriter Melissa Rosenberg, and producer Wyck Godfrey to talk about their new movie, “The Twilight Saga: New Moon.”
Director Chris Weitz’s success at adapting books for the screen, including “About A Boy” and “The Golden Compass,” made him an obvious choice for this project, says Wyck Godfrey, who produced both “Twilight” and “New Moon.” “Chris has a history of helming fantasy films with complex effects as well as intimate character studies, and he works well with young actors. But it is his appreciation of Stephenie Meyer’s books and characters that made him the perfect director for “The Twilight Saga: New Moon.”
Melissa Rosenberg is proving to be one of Hollywood’s most versatile and sought-after writers, seamlessly transitioning from television to the silver screen. She wrote the screenplay for the vampire romance phenomenon “Twilight” directed by Catherine Hardwicke based on »
Tom Ford’s ‘A Single Man’ Gets A Beautiful Trailer
8 November 2009 5:59 PM, PST | FilmSchoolRejects.com | See recent FilmSchoolRejects news »
Tom Ford is a stylish man who's been around a lot more naked women than I have. I'd cry foul, but he's also been around a lot more naked men so instead I'll just call it even. He's been near the top of the fashion world for years, but now he looks to be expanding his resume by directing and co-writing a film. A Single Man has already received quite a bit of acclaim from showings at various festivals and has finally had it's first trailer released. The film stars Colin Firth, Julianne Moore, Matthew Goode (Watchmen, The Lookout), Ginnifer Goodwin ("Big Love", "Ed"), and Nicholas Hoult (About a Boy, "Skins"). Check it out below. The trailer doesn't give away much (or anything really) about the plot, but it looks absolutely stunning doesn't it? It shouldn't come as a surprise since Ford's other career involves his keen eye for fashion and beauty, but »

Hoult Was Last Minute Ford Pick When 'Well-known Actor' Let Him Down
6 November 2009 5:36 PM, PST | WENN | See recent WENN news »
About A Boy star Nicholas Hoult only landed the lead in Tom Ford's new movie A Single Man by chance - the designer-turned-director's first choice failed to show up for filming.
Ford is refusing to name the "well-known actor" who originally landed the part of Kenny in the acclaimed new movie, but admits Hoult wasn't even part of the cast in the weeks leading up to the first day of filming.
And the first-time director feels sure fate played a part in the end result.
He says, "The actor didn’t show up the first day he was due. He was attached for six months and we had made his costumes.
"It was so lucky and I cannot imagine anyone but Nicholas Hoult in that role. I had seen Nicholas’ tape a few weeks earlier and I was kind of kicking myself. I had a sick feeling inside that this guy was perfect for it and that I was working with another actor. But it just came together."
But replacing one of his leads at the last minute was the least of Ford's troubles - he also had to fund the film himself when finance fell through at the start of the world economic crisis.
Stumping up the $7 million (GBP4.3 million) he needed to make the movie, Ford had to shoot the film in just 21 days to avoid running over budget.
But Colin Firth, who stars in the film, credits the director for never losing his cool and always appearing to be in complete control, despite the huge financial pressure on him.
The Brit says, "He was always immaculately dressed, he was always calm. He made sure that any anxieties were not communicated to anyone else."
The Oscar-tipped movie also features Julianne Moore, Ginnifer Goodwin and Matthew Goode. »

The vampire flick changed their lives -- and there's no looking back now!
"'Twilight' changed everything,' superstar Robert Pattinson tells "Extra." A little over a year ago, the cast of "Twilight" were relative unknowns. Now, cameras follow their every step.
The 23-year-old heartthrob tells "Extra's" Mario Lopez before "Twilight" he spent about a year just getting drunk. He adds, "You realize very quickly, you can't drink beer and go to the gym. It doesn't make any difference. »
Twilight: Making of New Moon
5 November 2009 8:00 PM, PST | MoviesOnline.ca | See recent MoviesOnline news »
Twilight, the first film based on Stephenie Meyer’s bestselling Twilight book series, was released in November 2008 to an eagerly awaiting audience. It was an instant success, no small feat for a project that was being carefully scrutinized by the novels’ millions of dedicated fans who were anxious to see how their heroes and heroines were depicted. The film adaptation of the unlikely romance between a sensitive high school girl and a more than a century-old vampire brought in over $70 million on its opening weekend, eventually grossing more than $350 million worldwide. The success paved the way for the movie version of the next installment in the bestselling series, The Twilight Saga: New Moon.
Wyck Godfrey, producer for both films, was adamant that The Twilight Saga: New Moon be not merely another sequel. Like the book that inspired it, the film takes Bella Swan and Edward Cullen’s fledging relationship to »

Movie Review: Cirque du Freak (The Vampire's Assistant)
2 November 2009 12:42 AM, PST | The Movie Fanatic | See recent The Movie Fanatic news »
Starring: John C. Reily, Chris Massoglia, Josh Hutcherson
Director: Paul Weitz
Release Date: October 23, 2009
Running Time: 109 mins.
MPAA Rating: PG-13
Distributor: Universal Pictures

Cirque du Freak: The Vampire’s Assistant is, I’m certain, the first of several films that will help take vampires from their current status as emo-hunks with sensitive sides, and send them down a shame spiral where they’ll hit rock bottom, and be forced to stay in hiding until someone reinvents them again. Seriously, this film is a mess.
Freak is based on a young adult book series of the same name. It’s the first in a planned trilogy, and unapologetically so. It’s as if writer/director Paul Weitz was attempting to use The Secret: just act like there will be two other installments, and even if the film sucks, it’ll happen. I predict the other films will never be made, »
