About ten years ago, three promising young actors were working to secure a place amongst the Hollywood A-list. Natalie Portman had finished her first major acting role, as Mathilda in Luc Bessons Leon. She would go on to make her major breakthrough in the Star Wars prequels. Tobey Maguire had small roles in respected films like The Cider House Rules and Wonder Boys, then also got his major break in a high budget franchise, winning the role of Spiderman. Jake Gyllenhaal came to public attention through his role in sleeper Indie hit Donnie Darko, then hit the big time through a combination of big budget popcorn in The Day After Tomorrow, and critically acclaimed drama in Brokeback Mountain. Next week in the Us, these three actors, firmly A-List, come together for Jim Sheridan’s brothers.
Brothers is a remake of Susanne Bier’s Danish film Brodre. Tobey Maguire plays Captain Sam Cahill, »

Of all the big films on the docket for next year, the one I’m most concerned about is The Wolfman. The second trailer for the film looked pretty badass, I’ll admit – but this movie has suffered a plagued production from the get-go. A change in directors, callbacks for reshoots and re-designs in the creature effects… It all points to a studio trying to turn lead into gold through the usual movie alchemy.
Well, the guys over at Slash Film must have magnifying glass eyes, because they spotted something deep-six buried in an article over at Variety, which names editors Mark Goldblatt and Walter Murch as the two guys hired to do a recut of The Wolfman!
This revelation comes without the usual fanfare from the blogosphere that goes with every little development on a major movie – suggesting that the studio is trying to keep the continuing problems with »

And Universal's The Wolfman continues down a bumpy road toward its February 12, 2010, release date. On the editing front Dennis (The Chronicles of Riddick, The Fog-2005 version) Virkler is apparently out, and Mark Goldblatt and Walter Murch are in.
Goldblatt started out strong with The Howling, Halloween II, The Terminator (1 and 2), and he most recently worked on X-Men: The Last Stand and G-Force. Murch did editing and sound work on such diverse fare as Apocalypse Now, The Talented Mr. Ripley, The Godfather: Part III, and Jarhead.
The news was somewhat buried in a Variety article, but /Film did a good job fleshing it out. At this point we can only wonder about director Joe Johnston’s day-to-day involvement with the picture after all the myriad changes it's undergone, and as more details are made available, we'll pass them on.

I love when I get excited about a film solely for the actors involved. It doesn’t matter what the film is about, as long as actors I like are on screen, I can enjoy it. An Education started out that way, but by the time the credits scrolled upwards, I loved the film as a whole. Peter Sarsgaard (Shattered Glass, Jarhead) and Carey Mulligan (Pride Prejudice, Public Enemies) were the actors I was excited to see. Oh yea, and Alfred Molina, Emma Thompson, and Sally Hawkins were thrown in there too. With all that fire power, and a script by Nick Hornby (High Fidelity), who wouldn’t want to see this film?
An Education is a period piece in London, 1962 (post-war, pre-Beatles). It’s rare I make a note during the screening to mention the opening credits in my review, but they were really great in this one! Jenny »

John Hillcoat's adaptation of the Matt Bondurant novel The Wettest Country in the World isn't happening yet. It was set up at Columbia for some time, but put into turnaround by the studio. Now producers Douglas Wick and Lucy Fisher (who did Jarhead and Memoirs of a Geisha and are working on Nicolas Winding Refn's Jekyll at Universal) are trying to make the film work as an indie. Because there is interest from a bevy of young stars (including, ahem, Shia Labeouf) it might actually happen. The Wettest Country in the World sounds like a fantastic story and a perfect project for Hillcoat. It's based on the story of Bondurant's own grandfather and great-uncles, who ran a depression-era moonshine/bootlegging business. There's also a parallel thread, where a reporter is tracking the gang and reporting on bootlegging while researching a novel. The Publisher's Weekly synopsis gives a few »

Upon finishing Sam Mendes' Revolutionary Road (2008) it felt like the life had been drained out of me. While impeccably produced and acted, the film is so emotionally heavy and unrelentingly depressing, I am relieved there was not a firearm or straight razor within arm's reach during viewing. I have the utmost respect for the caliber of the work but should it be so painful to endure? Almost as an anecdote, the director churned out the indie flick Away We Go (2009) within six months that is a total reversal in tone from his previous effort. Burt (John Krasinski) and Verona (Maya Rudolph) are unmarried and awaiting the birth of their first child when surprised by the news that his parents are leaving the country for two years with the kicker that they are departing before the due date. Since Verona's folks are deceased (which is part of the reason she »

Actress Reese Witherspoon has shot down reports she's preparing to become Mrs. Jake Gyllenhaal, insisting she's not engaged to the Jarhead star.
The Legally Blonde beauty, who was previously married to Ryan Phillippe, has been dating Gyllenhaal since 2007 after meeting on the set of Rendition.
Britain's Ok! magazine claims the couple is now planning to exchange vows after Witherspoon was spotted wearing a ring on her wedding finger.
A source tells the publication, "Reese looked delighted, and she was definitely showing off the ring."
However, Witherspoon's representative has denied the claims, emphatically telling GossipCop.com, "No, no and no." »

It's almost time for an update of the Top 50 Hottest Young Actors list! Before our rundown featuring the actors below, let's have a look at some hitlists from across the web - Moviefone has a 25 under 25 and Fandango a 10 Young Actors to Watch list. ScreenDaily publishes Stars of Tomorrow and there is the annual European Shooting Stars celebrated as part of the Berlinale. The first 2 only consider Hollywood movies and cast, while ScreenDaily is exclusively for UK-based filmmakers and actors. The 'shooting star' programme is, of course, for Europeans.

- - - These hitlists are more than point of references to our own - they are inspiration to keep us on our feet and come up with a listing that consider all angles. I don't think anyone is naïve enough to list down and rank 50 young actors ( and 50 young actresses) and expect everyone to agree and be happy, »

Variety reports that Focus Features has teamed up with Oprah Winfrey’s Harper Productions and Sam Mendes’s Neal Street Productions to produce a film version of the novel “Netherland” by Joseph O’Neill. Released in 2008, “Netherland” is the story of a Dutch stockbroker living in New York City who forms a cricket team with marganalized immigrants. It won the 2009 Pen/Faulkner Award for Fiction. Christopher Hamptom (”Atonement”) is writing the script. Perhaps most notable is the fact that Sam Mendes has expressed interest in helming the picture himself. Having worked on stage for years, his feature film debut, “American Beauty”, earned five Oscars in 1999, including Best Director. His subsequent films include “Road to Perdition”, “Jarhead”, “Revolutionary Road”, and this year’s effort “Away We Go”. Mendes has had such a diverse filmography that cricket-playing stockbrockers sounds only like the next logical step in his career, but the novel itself »

It’s not easy being a Southern preacher with a vampire sidekick. Just ask Jesse Custer, whose trials and tribulations was originally supposed to be a TV show from Mark Steven Johnson on HBO, but that fell through. (Some, especially non-fans of Mark Steven Johnson, would say it was for the best.). Then it was supposed to be a movie from Sam Mendes, but that was a while ago, and we haven’t heard a lot about the film’s progress until now. The director of “Jarhead”, “Road to Perdition”, and “Revolutionary Road” recently updated Empire about the status of “Preacher”: “It’s getting closer. I’ve seen a script and it’s very good. We’re a little further down the road than when I last spoke to you.” Sounds good, right? Looks like things are rolling and we could get a “Preacher” movie soon. Unfortunately Mendes won »
