Pa noir Tribes of October renamed The Last City + massive plot details
4 November 2009 12:10 PM, PST | QuietEarth.us | See recent QuietEarth news »
We've all been eagerly anticipating this flick, and while we've hounded the production folks to give us a copy of the promo trailer, we haven't seen anything yet. However, we do know that the film has been renamed The Last City. And to boot, we've got some extended info:
Synopsis:
Year: 2070
The ancient prophecies of hell on earth came true with a vengeance at the end of the Age of Pisces when apocalyptic solar flares brought the modern world to its knees. With the ozone layer decimated, the sun penetrated land and sea. It got hot. Very hot. The rivers dried, the oceans turned to salt, and the Earth was showered with relentless fire. In the aftermath, a chain reaction of chaos engulfed the planet and mankind devoured everything. All that remained was The Last City, formerly the pinnacle of the modern world, now reduced to an urban graveyard of sand, »

Casting Notes: Farmiga and Caan go to Buffalo; New Gigs for Anne Heche and Jessica Biel
29 October 2009 9:30 AM, PDT | Slash Film | See recent Slash Film news »
Some decent casting notes cropped up in the trade breaks last night, and because I'm just this sort of nice guy I'm about to round up the best for you. First involves James Caan and Vera Farmiga, who've just joined Keanu Reeves in Henry's Crime. The film, you may remember, is written by Anvil! director Sacha Gervasi, and will be directed by Malcolm Venville, recently of 44-Inch Chest. Farmiga is the love interest for Reeves, who is falsely accused of robbing a bank in Buffalo. Producer Jordan Schur calls the script "a genius comic fable." Gervasi himself called it "a twisted, romantic comedy, very dark and funny," which the trades refer to it as a romantic comedy and Capraesque. So who knows what the hell we'll see out of this one. [Variety] After the break, Anne Heche gets love and Jessica Biel gets laid. Anne Heche, meanwhile, will show up in »

Vera Farmiga May Teach Keanu Reeves How To Act
29 October 2009 7:02 AM, PDT | cinemablend.com | See recent Cinema Blend news »
Vera Farmiga may be well on her way to an Oscar nomination this fall, with her role opposite George Clooney in Up in the Air gaining the kind of accolades she's deserved countless times before in her career. And she's already cashing in for more roles. Farmiga has signed on to star opposite James Caan and Keanu Reeves in Henry's Crime, a romantic comedy about a man (Reeves) falsely accused of robbing a bank in Buffalo. According to Variety, Anvil! The Story Of Anvil director Sacha Gervasi wrote the screenplay, and Malcolm Venville will direct. I know what you're thinking about Reeves' wooden acting, and how if he were robbing your bank he probably wouldn't be able to convince you he meant it, and yeah, that's fair. But every now and then he's pretty good in something, and with Farmiga opposite him, maybe he'll be encouraged to step up his »

Farmiga & Caan Choose Life Of Crime
29 October 2009 12:33 AM, PDT | EmpireOnline | See recent EmpireOnline news »
Vera Farmiga and James Caan have signed on to join Keanu Reeves in Henry's Crime, a new romantic comedy based on a script by Sacha Anvil! Gervasi. 44 Inch Chest director Malcolm Neville will take a break from directing Ray Winstone to use really rather naughty language to direct*.The story's largely under wraps for the moment, but we do know that Reeves will play a "big-hearted" man called Henry who is falsely accused of robbing a bank in Buffalo. Farmiga's his love interest - we're going to go ahead and guess she's his lawyer. There's no word on Caan's role yet though. And it's probably too much to hope that Henry's Cat will also turn up. Production begins in New York state later in the year, so expect to see this late in 2010. Huh, wonder if we can get Anvil on the soundtrack?*At least, we're assuming this film won't feature quite so much swearing. »

The Weather Channel Decides to Show Movies Now That No One Watches The Weather Channel
20 October 2009 9:40 PM, PDT | Collider.com | See recent Collider.com news »
A channel entirely devoted to weather was a fantastic idea until we got phones that would tell us the weather and do so without waiting ten minutes to see what the weather was like in a major city in our area. So what’s a network entirely devoted to weather to do? What if they turned their efforts to covering hard news not just of natural disasters (as much fun as it is to toss a reporter into a hurricane) but of their aftermath? What if they did an investigative report on how Fema has attempted (if at all) to change in response to Hurricane Katrina? What about a special on how a disaster like a tsunami leaves damage beyond the loss of life and property but affects drinking water and dispersed children and other factors we don’t traditionally think of?
Or they could just show movies about weather. »

'New York, I Love You': Out-Of-Towners, By Kurt Loder
16 October 2009 8:53 AM, PDT | MTV Movie News | See recent MTV Movie News news »
High-concept anthology gets lost in Gotham.
Orlando Bloom in "New York, I Love You"
Photo: Vivendi Entertainment
A revved-up writer (Ethan Hawke) improvises a mad rap for a beautiful stranger in the night (Maggie Q), only to learn she's uniquely immune to his come-on. Meanwhile, in a downtown bar, a sardonic professor (Andy Garcia) teaches some new tricks to an over-confident young thief (Hayden Christenson). And a geeky student (Anton Yelchin), dumped by his girlfriend (Blake Lively), winds up squiring a disabled blind date (Olivia Thirlby) to a big dance in her wheelchair — and then gets a wild surprise while rolling her back home.
The new mini-movie collection "New York, I Love You" has some cleverly turned stories and lively performances. But unlike its 2006 predecessor, "Paris, I Love You," it displays only an intermittent affinity for its target metropolis on the part of the 11 directors who weighed in on it. »
Movie Review: “New York, I Love You”
16 October 2009 12:55 AM, PDT | screeninglog.com | See recent screeninglog news »
Seen on: October 12, 2009
The players: Directors: Shekhar Kapur, Joshua Martson, Mira Nair & more, Writers: Fatih Akin, Yvan Attal, Alexandra Cassavetes & more, Cast: Justin Bartha, Maggie Q, Orlando Bloom, James Caan, Hayden Christensen, Blake Lively, Julie Christie...
Facts of interest: None.
The plot: Following the concept of "Paris, je t'aime," this film boasts several short films about love set in the beautiful city of New York.
Our thoughts: I absolutely love “New York, I Love You,” and I don’t just say that because I love New York as a city. Much like its beautiful predecessor “Paris, je t’aime,” this wonderful cinematic anthology of short films set in the Big Apple proves that especially genius screenwriting and strong acting can create a truly memorable big-screen experience. »

Top 5 Movies That Scared the Hell Out of Me
3 October 2009 8:07 AM, PDT | ScreenRant.com | See recent Screen Rant news »
Ya’ know, since it’s Halloween coming up at the end of the month, I thought it would be appropriate to make a list of the top 5 movies that, for whatever reason, just scared the hell out of me. It may not be the entire movie, maybe it was just a particular scene/moment; they may not be the technically Best horror movies (they may not even be strictly “horror” per se.), but just something about them had me hiding behind the pillow, jumping at every noise, looking through the cracks in my fingers, thinking about it for days afterwards, and… changing my underwear — okay, too much information…
Before I get on with the list, just know that (like every list) this is purely opinion and therefore it obviously isn’t going to match Your list. If a movie that you find particularly scary isn’t on my list then »

1. The History of Roller Movies Goes Way Beyond “Whip It”
From James Caan skating for his life in “Rollerball” to Raquel Welch doing similar knock ‘em down duties in “Kansas City Bomber,” movies about people on eight wheels have a rich and varied history. Charlie Chaplin got his skates on not only in “Modern Times” but also 20 years earlier in “The Rink” while Missy Piggy took out a mugger on borrowed wheels in “Muppets Take Manhattan.” And there are many, many more.
