Bill Nighy: 'I am not suddenly the greatest actor in the world'
19 November 2009 3:54 AM, PST | The Guardian - Film News | See recent The Guardian - Film News news »
The star of Stephen Poliakoff's forthcoming Glorious 39 on his neuroses, playing educated toffs and why he digs David Hare
"A machiavellian dandy . . . Pure coldheartedness . . . Fabulously insincere." As I read out reviews of an old Bill Nighy performance, the actor grimaces and drums his knuckles on the table. "If ever a face was made for villainy, it's Bill Nighy's," I continue. "Wow," he murmurs. "Nighy's decadently long jaw and narrow, sneaky eyes serve him well . . ." He snorts, amused. "Sneaky eyes! Long decadent jaw! My God. I didn't know I had a decadent jaw."
Perhaps it is how Glorious 39 unfolds around him that makes you never quite trust Nighy as Alexander Keyes, a devoted father and aristocratic Conservative MP in Stephen Poliakoff's sumptuous new thriller about appeasement, set on the eve of the second world war. But perhaps Nighy has a singular talent for projecting unreliability into charming characters. »

Can Saorise Ronan become the youngest best actress Oscar winner?
30 October 2009 1:26 PM, PDT | Gold Derby | See recent Gold Derby news »
A spy tells us that Saorise Ronan is in virtually every scene of "The Lovely Bones" as the central character of this compelling story of a murdered girl, her grieving family, and her killer. And we hear that Ronan steals the picture from everyone including Oscar champ Rachel Weisz (The Constant Gardener") and nominee Mark Wahlberg ("The Departed") as her parents, Oscar winner Susan Sarandon ("Dead Man Walking") as her grandmother and two-time Emmy victor Stanley Tucci ("Winchell," "Monk") as the murdering neighbor. All of them will compete in the supporting slots, leaving Ronan the only "Bones" star in a lofty lead Oscar race. While her first name may be pronounced "sir-sha" to rhyme with... »

From The Writer of City of God: Last Stop 174 Trailer
27 August 2009 9:31 AM, PDT | FilmJunk | See recent FilmJunk news »
The success of the 2002 Brazilian film City of God helped launch a number of careers, not the least of which is director Fernando Meirelles, who went on to helm The Constant Gardener and Blindness. It also spawned a TV series spin-off and a sequel called City of Men, and even now any association with that original film is bound to draw some attention. With that being said, here's another gritty crime drama that was penned by City of God screenwriter Bráulio Mantovani, and well, consider me interested! Last Stop 174 is based on the story of a bus hijacking that happened in Rio de Janeiro back in 2000. When Sandro do Nascimento boarded the bus, he didn't intend to take hostages, but the situation quickly escalated and turned into a media circus. The movie delves into his life growing up on the streets, and the events that brought him to that day. »

Thn Review Feature: Inglourious Basterds
18 August 2009 5:06 AM, PDT | The Hollywood News | See recent The Hollywood News news »
I am trying to remember the first time that I saw a Quentin Tarantino movie. It was his debut Reservoir Dogs, and I first saw it at a late night screening session at my local multiplex in either 1993 or 1994. The movie had been denied a video release in the UK, so film chains like Odeon and I think Virgin Cinemas at the time, took it upon themselves to show the film late at night to a nation of filmgoers who literally couldn't get enough of this exciting new filmmaker. Then, just a couple of months later Pulp Fiction arrived on the scene, and that movie changed everything. The film won the Palme D'or, and the following year garnered a few Oscar nominations to boot. I fell in love with the film, and could not wait to get back to the cinema to see it again the following weekend.

'District 9' Cheat Sheet: Everything You Need To Know
14 August 2009 3:50 AM, PDT | MTV Movie News | See recent MTV Movie News news »
Learn how a failed 'Halo' movie paved the way for what could be the sleeper sci-fi hit of the summer.
A scene from "District 9"

What do drunk, absent-minded, middle-age men have in common with outer-space aliens stranded on Earth? If you don't have an answer, well, you haven't been paying attention to Hollywood's summer of 2009.
Currently rolling out into theaters nationwide is "District 9," a film related to "The Hangover" in several key ways. Both movies are original stories made with no stars, for a low budget and filmed outside the magnifying glass applied to productions like "The Dark Knight" or "Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen." Both built huge buzz over the final few weeks before release by screening for critics, bloggers and other key tastemakers. Oh, and both films have one last thing in common: They're really freakin' good.

Exclusive: First look at Johannes Roberts' mysterious new hooligan horror "F"
12 August 2009 10:44 AM, PDT | QuietEarth.us | See recent QuietEarth news »
Brit director Johannes Roberts made waves in the horror scene a few years back when he created the first Mobile phone series, When Evil Calls. Then in 2007, Roberts worked that series into an extended feature starring Sean Pertwee and Dominique Pinon, which was released by Lionsgate. What he has been working on recently has been a bit of mystery... until now.
His new film is simply titled F (as in the grade) and it looks to be the latest endeavor in Britain's recent wave of what I'm now coining as "hooligan horror" (see Eden Lake). We have received a small synopsis from Roberts, but I can't help but wonder if it will be a revenge movie where a humiliated teacher exacts some justice and hands out fails to all of his rowdy pupils. That would be sweet.

F is a terrifying thriller about a group of teachers trapped in »
Peter Jackson Proud Of 'Fiercely Original' 'District 9'
11 August 2009 1:09 AM, PDT | MTV Movie News | See recent MTV Movie News news »
'It's not based on a comic; it's not based on a remake or a TV show. It's very original,' producer says of new film.

If there's one thing Peter Jackson seems to be proud of as far as "District 9" is concerned, it's that the film is an original work. As producer of the much-buzzed-about science-fiction flick, he credits writer/director Neill Blomkamp with bringing something personal to the story that most action movies today lack.
"It's fiercely original, which is what I really like about it," Jackson told MTV News. "And I like the fact that it's based on the life experience of Neill, growing up in a society that was different to anything we've experienced."
Of course, he didn't mean to say that Blomkamp grew up living among alien refugees who've been forced to live in ghettos as marginalized non-citizens. »
Green Hair Cost Sienna Gardener Role
7 August 2009 9:06 AM, PDT | WENN | See recent WENN news »
Sienna Miller fears her green hair may have cost her a role opposite Ralph Fiennes in The Constant Gardener.
The blonde actress reveals she had a home dye disaster the night before the audition for the film - and she could not have looked worse.
Miller explains, "I've tried to dye it (hair) dark before and it went horribly wrong.
"I thought I'd be all organic and hippie and I used henna instead of normal hair colour, which, if you have blonde hair, goes green... proper pond green.
"I had an audition the next day for The Constant Gardener, which I didn't get."
Rachel Weisz eventually landed the role Miller auditioned for - and won an Oscar.
The Alfie star notes, "They made the right decision about that one." »

13 July 2009 1:32 AM, PDT | Aceshowbiz | See recent Aceshowbiz news »
Moving on from his villainous role in "X-Men Origins: Wolverine", Danny Huston will tackle on a historical figure in "Robin Hood". According to The Hollywood Reporter, the 47-year-old actor will step into the shoes of King Richard who is more commonly known as Richard the Lionheart due to his exploits during the Third Crusade.
Landing the role means he will be sharing screen with Academy Award-winning actor Russell Crowe, who headlines the project as the titular character. He will also join other cast ensemble that include Cate Blanchett as Maid Marion and Mark Strong as Sir Godfrey. The actor who is also credited as director is expected to shoot for his part after wrapping up on "Clash of the Titans".
Eying a May 14, 2010 U.S. release, "Robin Hood" is the working title given for the action adventure film which was once named "Nottingham". A first look at Russell Crowe's »

A 'Tailor' made International Career for Let the Right One In's Tomas Alfredson
9 July 2009 | ioncinema | See recent ioncinema news »
- You can bet that Swedish helmer Tomas Alfredson had to field tons of requests for his next directing gig since the international success of Let the Right One In – the pic that was so popular that an American remake was commissioned quickly during the craze (Let Me In is going to be released in January of next year). Today, the director follows in the footsteps of Fernando Meirelles, who after giving us breakout City of God also took on a John Le Carré novel (The Constant Gardener). Alfredson has been paired with the very busy Peter Morgan on the adaptation of Le Carré’s Cold War spy novel, Tinker, Tailor, Soldier, Spy. Here is Wiki's entry description for the novel and reasoning for the title: First published in 1974. It is the first volume of a three-book series informally known as The Karla Trilogy, followed by The Honourable Schoolboy and Smiley's People. »
Reese Witherspoon is Universal’s Pharm Girl
17 June 2009 10:36 PM, PDT | TheMovingPicture.net | See recent TheMovingPicture news »
Universal and Reese Witherspoon are joining forces for Pharm Girl, a comedy centering on one woman's odyssey through the pharmaceutical business. Glenn Ficarra and John Requa, the duo behind the Billy Bob Thornton comedy Bad Santa, will write the screenplay and are in talks to direct. Witherspoon will play a woman who gets a job at a pharmaceutical powerhouse but begins to see the underbelly of the industry as she rises through the company's ranks. The actress is also producing the film via her Type A banner. The modern pharmaceutical industry has played a villainous role in Hollywood films dating to The Fugitive, and several years ago it was at the center of a conspiracy in the Focus Features thriller The Constant Gardener. Ficarra and Requa most recently helmed and wrote I Love You Phillip Morris, the Jim Carrey and Ewan McGregor dramedy about the romance between a con artist »

Rachel Weisz Takes on The Brothers Bloom
14 May 2009 | Comingsoon.net | See recent Comingsoon.net news »
Rachel Weisz's fans may do a double take when they see her in Rian ( Brick ) Johnson's The Brothers Bloom , a caper comedy starring Mark Ruffalo and Adrien Brody as con men who target Weisz's eccentric "millionairess" Penelope Stamp as the mark for their last and greatest con before parting ways. Playing Penelope seems to have done Weisz well, as she genuinely seems to be having a lot of fun in the role, a far cry from all the serious, dramatic roles we've seen her play in some of our favorite movies in recent years like The Fountain , directed by fiancé Darren Aronofsky, and The Constant Gardener , based on John Le Caree's novel. Besides cavorting with Brody as his awkward romantic interest, Weisz is also at the center of a montage where we see Penelope... »
Hugh Jackman and Robert Pattinson in Unbound Captives
13 May 2009 5:00 PM, PDT | WorstPreviews.com | See recent Worst Previews news »
Hugh Jackman (Wolverine), Rachel Weisz (The Constant Gardener) and Robert Pattinson (Twilight) will star in the period drama "Unbound Captives," with actress Madeleine Stowe (We Were Soldiers) making her directorial debut from a script she wrote. Though Stowe is a newcomer behind the camera, getting the job and landing that cast is a payoff for her risky decision to turn down millions of dollars for the script in 1993. Under pseudonym O.C. Humphrey, Stowe teamed with her husband, actor Brian Benben, to write "Unbound Captives" as a star vehicle for herself. She would have played a woman (now to be played by Weisz) whose husband is killed and her two children kidnapped by a Comanche war party in 1859. She is rescued by a frontiersman, to be played by Jackman. Pattinson will play the son. Fox offered Stowe $3 million, and later $5 million, for her script, with Ridley Scott poised to direct and Russell Crowe to star. »
Rachel Weisz May Play '40s Movie Icon Hedy Lamarr
12 May 2009 7:49 AM, PDT | Reelzchannel.com | See recent ReelzChannel news »
According to The Hollywood Reporter, Rachel Weisz -- who won an Oscar for her role in The Constant Gardener -- may portray Hedy Lamarr in the upcoming movie Face Value.
Lamarr, born Hedwig Eva Maria Kiesler in Austria, was best known for her performance as Delilah in Cecil B. DeMille's Samson and Delilah (1949). However, Face Value reportedly will focus a great deal on her often-overlooked career as a scientist. In the '40s, she helped pioneer a communications technology currently utilized by today's WiFi devices.

Rachel Weisz Reaches Hedy Heights

She may already be a classic beauty, but Rachel Weisz is going all-out Old Hollywood as she circles the role of Hedy Lamarr for a film by Amy Redford.The indie biopic, named Face Value, originally had Charlize Theron rumoured for the role, which will show the eccentric post-wwii actress' career, including a sideline in scientific research into wireless technology.Known best for her lead turn in Cecil B. DeMille's Samson and Delilah, Lamarr was nicknamed The most Beautiful Woman In Films by her contemporaries, and was one of the most gifted actresses in old Hollywood town. Motorcycle Diaries scribe Jose Rivera penned the script along with Gretchen Somerfeld, and the movie will be made with a Tfi Sloan Filmmaker grant which the project was awarded from the Sundance Institute (hmm, nepotism? Amy Redford is Sundance founder Robert's daughter. But then, if she's inherited his filmmaking skills, it's probably fair enough). Weisz, »
