Russell Crowe To Make Directorial Debut With The Water Diviner

Russell Crowe To Make Directorial Debut With ‘The Water Diviner’ By Angie Han/June 18, 2013 5:00 pm EST Russell Crowe is on a hot streak of high-profile roles right now, between last year’s Les Misérables, this month’s Man of Steel, and next year’s Winter’s Tale and Noah. So the fact that he’s booked yet another splashy turn isn’t much of a surprise, but this gig’s a little different. For the first time in his career, Crowe will lead the charge both in front of and behind the camera....

Tom Cruise And Joseph Kosinski Hoping Brad Pitt Will Go Like Hell

Tom Cruise And Joseph Kosinski Hoping Brad Pitt Will ‘Go Like Hell’ By Russ Fischer/Dec. 18, 2013 5:44 pm EST Cruise is set to play Ford associate and former racing champ Carrol Shelby, for his Oblivion director Joseph Kosinski. Now THR says that they’re courting Pitt to sign on, too. Pitt was actually attached to a different adaptation of the book years ago. Who will he play? He doesn’t look much like the mid-’60s version of Henry Ford II, Lee Iacocca, or Enzo Ferrari, but he could be made up to look enough like Ford to squeeze by....

Votd Animated Bat Man Of Shanghai Transports Batman Bane And Catwoman To The 1930S

VOTD: Animated ‘Bat Man Of Shanghai’ Transports Batman, Bane, And Catwoman To The 1930s By Russ Fischer/Aug. 28, 2012 7:51 am EST Now we’ve got Bat Man of Shanghai (kind of a play on the title of Orson Welles’ The Lady From Shanghai, I suppose) in which an encounter between Batman, Bane, and Catwoman is set in ’30s Shanghai. Why? Because it looks neat. None of this really makes much sense, but the visualization of Bats as a semi-mystical warrior who can actually explode into a cloud of bats is pretty alright....

Watch A Six-Minute Clip Of Joe Wright’s ‘Anna Karenina’ By Angie Han/July 23, 2012 1:00 pm EST If last month’s first trailer for Anna Karenina gave us an intriguing taste of the sumptuous theatricality of Joe Wright’s adaptation, this new six-minute clip offers a big, juicy bite. As Wright explains in the introductory voiceover, nearly the entire film was filmed on over a hundred sets, nearly all constructed inside a single dilapidated theater....

‘Gravity’ - What Did You Think? By Russ Fischer/Oct. 4, 2013 6:08 pm EST For years we’ve heard that Alfonso Cuarón, director of Children of Men, wanted to make a space-set film like no other. Gravity has been the subject of rumor almost from the start, about how it would feature a very long unbroken “shot” as its opening sequence, about how a mixture of practical photography and CG would be combined to create an immersive and realistic vision of being stranded in space....

Particularly when the director behind it is Darren Aronofsky, whose striking visual sense has made him a favorite among cinephiles. But even so, you may be surprised to hear just how much work went into creating this thing....

‘The Necessary Death Of Charlie Countryman’ Review: A Pointless Yet Fun Romantic Adventure [Sundance 2013] By Germain Lussier/Jan. 23, 2013 5:00 pm EST In terms of message, there isn’t really much to The Necessary Death of Charlie Countryman. It’s a film about love and the trials and tribulations we endure for it. Which, in a way, is pretty much the theme of half the movies ever made. What makes the film so entertaining is that it’s kind of insane....

People could go crazy, and society would self-regulate, and normals would just have to hide.“Jason Blum, who worked with Ethan Hawke on Sinister, also produced The Purge, which casts Hawke as a rich guy who takes refuge inside his fortress of a home during one day of the year where all laws and emergency services are suspended....

The Town That Dreaded Sundown Trailer Darkness Returns To Texarkana

‘The Town That Dreaded Sundown’ Trailer: Darkness Returns To Texarkana By Russ Fischer/Sept. 10, 2014 12:00 pm EST A masked man stalks a town with evil intent, and there’s nothing anyone can do about it. The Town That Dreaded Sundown was originally an odd 1976 thriller based on a true story about a rash of killings that plagued Texarkana in the ’40s. The original inspired one of the looks for Jason Voorhees in the Friday the 13th series, and stands as a unique thriller thanks to its odd blend of horror, comedy, and almost-verite style....

Alejandro Gonz Lez I Rritu Ditching Tragedy For Comedy With Birdman

Alejandro González Iñárritu Ditching Tragedy For Comedy With ‘Birdman’ By Angie Han/Dec. 7, 2012 5:15 pm EST It’s no exaggeration to say Alejandro González Iñárritu has built his career on human misery. Amores Perros, 21 Grams, Babel, and Biutiful were thoughtful, inspiring, even beautiful in their own ways, but one thing they weren’t was cheerful. But apparently there’s only so much gloom and doom even he can take. The renowned Mexican filmmaker is switching gears completely with his next picture, which will be an honest-to-God comedy called Birdman....
