I have yet to see Ryan Gosling‘s directorial debut Lost River, but word-of-mouth for the film, including here on the site, has been less-than-favorable. Unabashedly weird and yet very respectful to its peers, based on what I’ve seen and read, it’s not your average actor-turned-director vehicle. It’s with that in mind that a select group, including fellow filmmakers,…

Pathe has released the first picture from Sarah Gavron‘s Suffragette, a film following the foot soldiers of the early feminist movement, women who were forced underground to pursue a dangerous game of cat and mouse with an increasingly brutal State. The picture features a first look at Carey Mulligan and Helena Bonham Carter, but the film co-stars an impressive cast…

James Franco arrives in Cannes with his adaptation of William Faulkner’s As I Lay Dying in tow and a first trailer and poster for the film have just come in. As I Lay Dying will have its world premiere in the Un Certain Regard selection on Monday, May 20 and I’ll be reporting soon after with my thoughts so stay tuned. The film tells…

Bad reviews don’t typically deter me from wanting to see a film, but when I see negative chatter about a project to this extent it is hard to muster up any excitement as Gregor Jordan’s adaptation of Brett Easton Ellis’s The Informers is not receiving very kind reactions out of Sundance. Let’s run down some of what…

Joe Wright was previously attached to direct a live action adaptation of The Little Mermaid, but he’s currently putting together Pan for Warner Bros. and it would seem only one live action at a time is appropriate. Enter Sofia Coppola who will apparently step away from her tradition of working from her own screenplay to bring to life the Hans Christian…

When I heard George Miller’s Mad Max: Fury Road was going into production last year, I wasn’t sure how I felt about it. Especially now that it will be rebooted with recent Inception co-star Tom Hardy in the lead. I know one thing, I wasn’t upset when I heard last week the film was pushed back to next year. My indecision concerning the…

It’s been some time since we last heard of casting regarding Darren Aronofsky‘s Noah project, which last we heard was looking at a July start in New York and Iceland for a March 28, 2014 release. So far Russell Crowe‘s attachment as the lead actor is all we’ve heard along with rumblings that we might see a Requiem for a Dream reunion with Jennifer…

There’s a pretty great little article over at Yahoo looking into the folklore and legends of the lengths Daniel Day-Lewis goes to for his craft. The fact Daniel Day-Lewis is a method actor is no secret, just as much as we all know he remained in character for Lincoln, sent Sally Field a text message as Honest Abe and asked…

Focus Features has debuted the trailer and poster for their upcoming dramedy Seeking a Friend for the End of the World starring Steve Carell and Keira Knightley. The pic is written and directed by Lorene Scafaria who previously wrote the screenplay for Nick and Norah’s Infinite Playlist. This will mark her feature directorial debut. The story begins as an asteroid nears Earth and…

Remember Lincoln? The movie Steven Spielberg was supposed to direct with Liam Neeson set to star but films such as Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull, The Adventures of Tintin: Secret of the Unicorn and War Horse always seemed to get in the way? Then news of Robopocalypse cropped up recently, which seemed to put a nail in the project, especially…
