10 Most Fascinating 'End of the World' Movies
8 November 2009 4:59 AM, PST | The Movie Fanatic | See recent The Movie Fanatic news »
There are many theories, ideas or should I say 'schools of thought' on how the world would end. At the height of the Cold War, nuclear annihilation ranks at the very top. While others argue it will not be man who will destroy the world (directly) but - an epidemic of global proportions (most probably from a potent strain of virus - think: I am Legend) or severe climactic change (another ice age perhaps? That would be Day After Tommorow right?) or mechanical uprising (The Terminator, anyone?) or even attack from the outside - conquering aliens (Mars Attacks!) or perhaps an asteroid. And let's not forget zombies!

A Fistful of News

We missed some stories this past week. We’re sorry. But we did not forget them. We never forget. We’re like elephants and people who hold grudges. With that in mind, here are some stories that are a little late but they’re still great. You can enjoy them all after the jump.
The fantastic 1997 sci-fi film “Gattaca” may become a television series in the vein of “CSI”. I don’t know how that works since the police would probably be the genetically-engineered humans while the interesting, true-born humans would be the ones hunted down.

Carey Mulligan is ‘Beautiful Fantastic’
29 October 2009 6:47 PM, PDT | FilmSchoolRejects.com | See recent FilmSchoolRejects news »
By now, you've probably heard more than a few words uttered on the blogosphere about Carey Mulligan. There's talk that she's likely to be sitting among Oscar nominees in March for her Audrey Hepburn-esque role in Lone Scherfig's An Education and she's racking up projects in development as fast as any other leading lady in Hollywood's hills. She was recently cast in Wall Street 2: Money Never Sleeps alongside Shia LeBouf and Michael Douglas. And now she's prepped and ready for another leading role. According to Screen Daily, Muliigan has been cast in The Beautiful Fantastic, a fairy tale-like drama from director Terry Loane (Mickybo & Me) and screenwriter Simon Aboud. It is a whimsical tale said to be in the vein of Amelie and Finding Neverland, that will also star Tom Wilkinson, Christopher Eccleston, Mackenzie Crook (Pirates of the Caribbean) and Joanna Lumley. The story focuses on frustrated children's author Bella Brown, who »

Carey Mulligan Will Be The Beautiful Fantastic
29 October 2009 3:32 PM, PDT | cinemablend.com | See recent Cinema Blend news »
Bankside Films went shopping. Its list? The 2009 Brit List. Of the 34 scripts selected to make up the UK.s version of the Us Black List, the best in unproduced screenplays, they opted for Simon Aboud.s This Beautiful Fantastic. And the great news for Aboud gets even more beautifully fantastic; according to Screen Daily, the film will star Carey Mulligan, Tom Wilkinson, Christopher Eccleston, Mackenzie Crook and Joanna Lumley. It.s about Bella Brown, an author who.s basically a recluse. She.s got no family or friends and spends the majority of her time hibernating in her compulsively tidy flat. It isn.t until she ventures out to the library that she sees what she.s been missing and meets Billy, a far-from-organized inventor who enjoys chaotically whipping through the library aisles. Directorial duties fall to Terry Loane with Kami Naghdi of Constance Media set to co-produce alongside Matt »
An Education’s Carey Mulligan Joins This Beautiful Fantastic, a 2009 Brit List Entry
29 October 2009 2:16 PM, PDT | Slash Film | See recent Slash Film news »
The actress 'It Girl' this year is definitely Carey Mulligan, who has been drawing raves for her performance in An Education since the film premiered at Sundance. She's already working on Wall Street 2: Money Never Sleeps, and now she's been cast in This Beautiful Fantastic, which will be based on a script that made the Brit List a couple months ago. Screen Daily reports on the film, and lists the tremendous cast with which Mulligan will appear: Tom Wilkinson, Christopher Eccleston, Mackenzie Crook and Joanna Lumley. The film will shoot in early 2010 in Scotland and Germany with Terry Loane directing from Simon Aboud's script, said to be "a modern fairy tale in the vein of Amelie and Finding Neverland." The film follows "frustrated children’s author Bella Brown, who only leaves her obsessively ordered flat for work at the library. Chronically shy, she has no friends, no family »

Carey Mulligan Cast in Fairy Tale Film This Beautiful Fantastic
29 October 2009 12:03 PM, PDT | firstshowing.net | See recent FirstShowing.net news »
I hope that by March 8th, Carey Mulligan has an Oscar on her mantle, because she certainly deserves to have one. As we wait to find out her destiny, though, Mulligan has been busy being cast in other projects, as the industry has already seen her in An Education and knows how great she is. She was cast in Wall Street 2: Money Never Sleeps already as the lead female love interest opposite Shia Labeouf and has just joined another project today. ScreenDaily reports that Mulligan has been cast in This Beautiful Fantastic, a fairy tale-like drama being directed by Terry Loane (Mickybo & Me) from a script written by Simon Aboud. This Beautiful Fantastic is described as a "modern fairy tale in the vein of Amelie and Finding Neverland." Perfect - two of my favorite fairy tale films. The cast also includes Tom Wilkinson (Duplicity), Christopher Eccleston (G.I. Joe »

Featurette: Amelia
25 October 2009 7:11 AM, PDT | HeyUGuys.co.uk | See recent HeyUGuys news »
Apple have released a brand new featurette which gives us a behind the scenes look at the movie based on the amazing woman who made an attempt to be the first person, male or female to fly solo across the world. This featurette focuses on how they achieved some of the aerial shots.
Amelia stars Hilary Swank as Amelia Earhart with Ewan McGregor, Richard Gere, Christopher Eccleston with direction coming from Mira Nair. Check out the featurette which I’ve embedded below or head over to Apple to view in HD.
Amelia is out in cinemas 13th November.
Amelia stars two-time Academy Award®-winner Hilary Swank as Amelia Earhart, the legendary aviatrix and enigmatic symbol of the American free spirit, who was guided by a profound curiosity for everything life had to offer. Earhart’s early aviation triumphs and meteoric rise to fame and fortune were propelled along by her »

‘Amelia’ Movie Showed A Good Depiction Of The Flying Legend
24 October 2009 8:41 PM, PDT | OnTheFlix | See recent OnTheFlix news »
"Amelia" movie showed a good depiction of the flying legend, Amelia Earhart,as far as I can tell,anyways. It was well before my time. This movie by Fox Searchlight pictures stars: Hilary Swank, Richard Gere, Ewan McGregor, Christopher Eccleston, and Mia Wasikowska. I thought Hilary Swank did an excellent job,especially with the voice and accent of Amelia Earhart. The movie showed how Amelia first hooked up with her promoter, George Putnam so that she could become the first woman to fly across the Atlantic. It also showed how she later went on to fly across the Atlantic Ocean for a 2nd time,on a solo flight. It showed how Amelia became an instant celebrity after she made her first trip across the Atlantic Ocean,and inspired more women flyers. She also ended up marrying George Putnam,and it showed her affair with pilot Gene Vidal. »

Hilary Swank, Richard Gere and Christopher Eccleston in Amelia
Photo: Fox Searchlight Mira Nair's Amelia is no more a story of the famed aviatrix Amelia Earhart as it is a standard by-the-book fourth grade telling of her life. Starting from the end and then giving us the Cliff's Notes on how she got there, Nair's film never once attempts to dig into what makes Earhart's story a story worth telling and instead just boils down to a woman that flew planes and got married. She's inspirational because we're told so and she's quite poetic when it comes to describing her time in the air as Hilary Swank's banal voice over reminds us every five minutes.
Swank stars in the title role, a role assumed to be a likely third Oscar nomination for the two-time winner as soon as it was announced, but now she may be struggling to »

Review: Amelia
22 October 2009 11:30 AM, PDT | Slackerwood | See recent Slackerwood news »
It's Oscar contender season, when the studios trot out the films they hope will capture the attention of the bearers of golden statuettes, and the box office revenue those little gold men bring. One has to wonder just what Fox Searchlight was thinking when they chose to release Amelia.
It seems like a perfect match: Mira Nair (Monsoon Wedding, The Namesake) directing a cast of heavyweights, including Hilary Swank, Richard Gere, Ewan McGregor, Christopher Eccleston. Stuart Dryburgh had an Oscar nod for Best Cinematography for The Piano amongst his list of nominations and wins. Both editors, Allyson C. Johnson and Lee Percy, are seasoned professionals, and Johnson has worked on several Nair projects. The writers, Ron Bass (Rain Man, The Joy Luck Club) and Anna Hamilton Phelan (Girl, Interrupted, Mask) each have an Oscar nod. Two books about Earhart are used, including Susan Butler's East to the Dawn and »

Scenes We Love: The Others
19 October 2009 5:48 PM, PDT | Cinematical | See recent Cinematical news »
There's just not enough ghost movies made these days, and certainly not enough good ones. Few filmmakers opt for Gothic manors, fog, and squeaky doors over the flashy "ghost" splatter-fests on display in The House on Haunted Hill and the 13 Ghosts remakes. I'm not sure why more directors don't opt to play in the spirit world, as I think movies like The Changeling, Paranormal Activity, and even The Blair Witch Project show that audiences can be scared with very little. As Jaws famously proved, it's what you don't see that's frightening, especially when you're dealing with the world of the living and the dead.
I think Alejandro Amenabar's The Others is one of the finest "haunted house" movies ever made. I watched it again last night, and I'm surprised at how little actually happens in this movie. When I first saw it in the theater, it seemed to be a symphony of voices, »

Awards season takes flight with celebrated director Mira Nair's biopic charting the early life and rise to prominence of pioneering aviatrix Amelia Earhart.

Christopher Eccleston, Cherry Jones and Mia Wasikowska join the heavyweight cast in this pic whose Oscar-friendly subject matter may allow it to fly under the Academy's expanded Best Picture tent.

International “Amelia” Movie Trailer
18 October 2009 11:56 AM, PDT | Filmofilia | See recent Filmofilia news »
An international trailer for the upcoming Amelia Earhart biopic, “Amelia” has appeared online.
Amelia, Dorothy Binney and Richard Gere
After becoming the first woman to fly across the Atlantic, Amelia (Hilary Swank) was thrust into a new role as America’s sweetheart – the legendary “goddess of light,” known for her bold, larger-than-life charisma. Yet, even with her global fame solidified, her belief in flirting with danger and standing up as her own, outspoken woman never changed. She was an inspiration to people everywhere, from First Lady Eleanor Roosevelt (Cherry Jones) to the men closest to her heart: her husband, promoter and publishing magnate George P. Putnam (Richard Gere), and her long time friend and lover, pilot Gene Vidal (Ewan McGregor).
In the summer of 1937, Amelia set off on her most daunting mission yet: a solo flight around the world that she and George both anxiously foresaw as destined, whatever the outcome, »
