16 October 2009 3:15 AM, PDT | Movie Jungle | See recent Movie Jungle news »
Joshua Leonard ("Humpday") is set to make his feature directorial debut and have a starring role in the adapting of T.C. Boyle's short story "The Lie." The indie film's screenplay was adapted by Leonard and his co-stars Jess Weixler (from the eerie "Teeth") as well as Mark Webber ("Broken Flowers") with additional story penned by Jeff Feuerzeig. The story ran in the New Yorker last year and tells of a man who tells a lie to get out of work and inadvertently changes his life. »

15 October 2009 6:43 PM, PDT | MovieWeb | See recent MovieWeb news »
Humpday's Joshua Leonard is stepping into the director's chair for the first time for the indie The Lie, in which he will also star.
According to Variety, the project is based on a T.C. Boyle short story that ran in the New Yorker last year, about a man who tells a lie to get out of work and inadvertently changes his life.
The script was adapted by Leonard, and his co-stars Jess Weixler (Teeth) and Mark Webber (Broken Flowers), with additional story by Jeff Feuerzeig.
The cast includes Jane Adams, with whom Leonard has co-starred in HBO series Hung, as well as Kelli Garner, P.J. Ransone, Gerry Bednob and Kirk Baltz.
The film begins production this month in Los Angeles.

Podcast: I Sell the Dead (Larry Fessenden, Glenn McQuaid)
6 August 2009 10:22 PM, PDT | GreenCine Daily | See recent GreenCine Daily news »
Larry Fessenden's gap-toothed, shaggy-haired mug makes a memorable impression onscreen (Broken Flowers, The Brave One), and besides also being the cult filmmaker behind socially relevant horror gems like The Last Winter and Habit, Fessenden is a generous producer, too. For 20+ years, his production company Glass Eye Pix has helped emerging filmmakers get their projects off the ground, with a roster that includes Kelly Reichardt, Ira Sachs and Ti West (whose fantastically creepy The House of the Devil comes out later this year). Fessenden's latest production under his Scareflix horror banner is the morbidly entertaining I Sell the Dead, written and directed by former visual effects artist Glenn McQuaid, here playing homage to Hammer Studios, EC Comics and Young Frankenstein: Never trust a corpse. 19th century justice has finally caught up to grave robbers Arthur Blake (Dominic Monaghan) and Willie Grimes (Larry Fessenden). With the specter of the guillotine looming over him, »
Orphanage Remake Moves Forward
4 August 2009 9:43 PM, PDT | TheMovingPicture.net | See recent TheMovingPicture news »
Bad news for those hoping New Line's remake of the brilliant Spanish-language horror movie The Orphanage would just go away, as the studio has just found a director to make it a reality. Actor-producer-director Larry Fessenden has signed on to helm the film. Produced by Guillermo del Toro and directed by Juan Antonio Bayona, the 2007 film was centered on a woman who, upon returning to the orphanage where she grew up, discovers that her son's imaginary friend is the same person who terrorized her when she was a child. Fessenden previously helmed the indie horror flicks Wendigo and The Last Winter. Last year he directed an episode of the horror anthology series Fear Itself. As an actor he has appeared in Broken Flowers, Animal Factory, The Brave One, I Sell the Dead and the upcoming Cabin Fever 2: Spring Fever. The trades say del Toro hand picked Fessenden for the job, »

Take It To The Limit
29 July 2009 10:59 PM, PDT | FilmInk.com.au | See recent FilmInk.com.au news »
If Jim Jarmusch is calling, you pick up the phone - no matter what time it is. Due to trans-Pacific time differences and a solid work schedule, Mr. Jarmusch - the white haired auteur famous for American indie gems like Stranger Than Paradise, Dead Man and Broken Flowers - is calling Filmink at the ungodly hour of 4.30am. There's not a whiff of too-cool hipsterism in his from-the-heart thanks for fielding his call at such an awkward time though. Jarmusch is positively profuse in fact, a surprising turn given that his new film The Limits Of Control goes by with hardly a word said. »

Actress Pell James
Pell James Takes A Hot Rod To The Dark Side In Surveillance
By
Virginia native Pell James hit the ground running following graduation from Nyu’s drama school in 1999, mixing TV and stage work, then landing her first high-profile part in 2005’s The King, co-starring with Gael Garcia Bernal and William Hurt. Since then, James also made impressive turns in Jim Jarmusch’s Broken Flowers and David Fincher’s Zodiac, in one of the film’s most unsettling scenes, as one of the notorious Bay area killer’s victims.
Pell James shines in an entirely new light as Bobbi, a drug-addicted drifter who comes face-to-face with evil incarnate in Jennifer Lynch’s Surveillance, a smashingly original thriller hitting theaters June 26 from Magnet Releasing. She also appears in Shrink, a tableaux-like satire of life in L.A., starring Kevin Spacey, which arrives from Lions Gate on »

Away We Go Review
19 June 2009 11:47 PM, PDT | FilmJunk | See recent FilmJunk news »
Away We Go Directed by: Sam Mendes Written by: Dave Eggers and Vendela Vida Starring: John Krasinski, Maya Rudolph, Jeff Daniels, Catherine O'Hara, Allison Janney, Jim Gaffigan, Maggie Gyllenhaal, Paul Schneider It's been a full decade now since directors like Wes Anderson and Alexander Payne first laid down the template for the "new" indie dramedy, creating a collection of aesthetic and thematic elements that have since been rehashed so many times that they've basically become a genre unto themselves. The ingredients are all too familiar: dysfunctional families and/or weird relationships mixed with dry or dark humour, fashionable yet quirky characters and a soundtrack by The Kinks. If it sounds like I'm being a bit cynical, it's because I am, but I must admit that I still have a soft spot for these kinds of films and I enjoy seeing someone put a new spin on the formula whenever possible. »

Review: Limits of Control
22 May 2009 1:13 AM, PDT | JoBlo.com | See recent JoBlo news »
Plot: A mysterious assassin (Isaach De Bankolé) wanders through Spain, while preparing for his next assignment. Review: Jim Jarmusch is nothing if not pretentious. That.s not to say he.s a bad director- far from it. At his best, he.s able to put together some fine work (Broken Flowers, Ghost Dog, Dead Man), and even at his worst, his films are never anything less than intriguing. The Limits Of Control is not one of Jarmusch.s better films. It.s first and foremost an exercise in... »

The Weekend Ahead in Film - "Wolverine" ready for his cut.
1 May 2009 | Movie Jungle | See recent Movie Jungle news »
“Wolverine” ready to rip through the weekend. 20th Century Fox’s “X-Men Origins: Wolverine” unspools into a massive 4,099 theatres. Directed by Gavin Hood, the Academy Award®-winning helmer of South African film “Tsotse,” “Wolverine” has had its hurdles thanks to its bootlegged availability and review of the leaked, incomplete material by entertainment blogger Roger Friedman. Still, “Wolverine” is ready to carve up a hefty slice of the box office pie. “Ghosts of Girlfriends Past” looks to attract fans of the romance and comedy genres with Matthew McConaughey and Jennifer Garner frontlining. Mark Waters, director of “The Spiderwick Chronicles,” “Mean Girls” and the “Freaky Friday” remake, helms from the writing by Jon Lucas and Scott Moore. The film debuts in 3,175 locations. (Read the Review) The next widest release comes in “Battle for Terra,” the animated sci-fi flick from Roadside Attractions.

Jim Jarmusch Pushes the "Limits"
30 April 2009 8:49 AM, PDT | ifc.com | See recent IFC news »
As filmmaker Jim Jarmusch sits down for our conversation, he pulls out a small notebook filled with what looks like quickly jotted-down ideas during his travels. When I ask about it, he jokes with the same deadpan wit that his movies are known for that they're his answers to my questions. He then segues to his musician friend and hipster icon Tom Waits, who apparently kept a similar notebook full of topics he wanted to remember to discuss while being interviewed: "So, regardless of the question, he'd say: 'Do you know there are albino moles living under Las Vegas?'" Since his rise from early '80s Lower East Side breakout to world-renowned auteur, Jarmusch is still one of the coolest people living in New York.
Also effortlessly chic is "The Limits of Control," Jarmusch's first film since 2005's "Broken Flowers," in which a sharkskin-suited Isaach De Bankolé stars as an enigmatic, »

"A Wink and a Smile"
Seattle-based documentary filmmaker Deirdre Allen Timmons makes her debut by pulling back the velvet curtain on the world of burlesque, where art and erotica co-exist in the same spectacle. Timmons introduces ten game volunteers, comprised of eager housewives and bored professionals, to Miss Indigo Blue's House of Burlesque, where the ladies find self-confidence and empowerment as they're instructed by Miss Blue in the age-old art of theatrical titillation.

'Limits of Control' Poster Has Unlimited Coolness
11 March 2009 11:26 PM, PDT | GetTheBigPicture.net | See recent Get The Big Picture news »
It's been a while since we've seen something new from Jim Jarmusch. The iconoclastic director was on a bit of a hot streak with the varied and interesting quintet of Dead Man, Year of the Dog, Ghost Dog: The Way of the Samurai, Coffee and Cigarettes, and Broken Flowers, but this is his first movie in four years.
Jarmusch attracts some pretty good actors as a rule, and his latest, The Limits of Control, features Bill Murray, Tilda Swinton, John Hurt, Isaach De Bankolé, and Gael Garcia Bernal. And now there's a terrific new poster that adheres to the old advertising mantra, Keep It Simple, Stupid.
We don't know much about the story, other than it centers on a loner who's in the process of completing "a job." Let your mind wander there. And feast your eyes on a very classy one-sheet, courtesy of Cinematical. Click to expand the limits of control. »

Exclusive: 'The Limits of Control' Poster Premiere!
11 March 2009 3:02 PM, PDT | Cinematical | See recent Cinematical news »
Click image below to view full poster
Cinematical has just received this exclusive poster for The Limits of Control, which premiered a bizarre-yet-intriguing trailer the other day and comes from acclaimed director Jim Jarmusch (Stranger Than Paradise, Broken Flowers, Ghost Dog). Starring Isaach De Bankolé, Tilda Swinton, Bill Murray, Gael Garcia Bernal and John Hurt (not a bad cast if you ask me), The Limits of Control follows a mysterious loner (and criminal) who's in the process of completing a job. Not a whole lot to go on there, but the best kept secrets are the ones that are, well, best kept secret.
Also, the music in the film is getting a lot of buzz; the Japanese trip Boris wrote and performed most of the songs, while Jarmusch wrote and performed -- along with Carter Logan (drums, percussion) and Shane Stoneback (carillon, organ) -- the music in the trailer. (Read more about that here. »

Jim Jarmusch's The Limits of Control Retro Poster
11 March 2009 2:41 PM, PDT | firstshowing.net | See recent FirstShowing.net news »
Three weeks ago no one knew anything about The Limits of Control, but now it's got a lot of early buzz, thanks to the new trailer that was put out last week. Cinematical got their hands on the official poster for the film today and it's quite wonderful. It has a very retro vibe to it and I love the look of it. It's great to finally see something different in the poster world these days, since we usually get nothing but ugly floating heads. Plus, it helps that I'm actually looking forward to this quite a bit. Jim Jarmusch hasn't directed anything since Broken Flowers in 2005 and it's great to finally see him back. Check out the poster below. The Limits of Control is both written and directed by the great American director Jim Jarmusch, of Stranger Than Paradise, Coffee and Cigarettes, Down by Law, Mystery Train, Dead ... »
