Five more join ‘Burning Palms’
29 October 2008 11:29 PM, PDT | From screeninglog.com | See recent screeninglog news
Dylan McDermott, Zoe Saldana, Lake Bell, Nick Stahl, Paz Vega and Shannen Doherty have signed on to star in Christopher Landon’s upcoming satire” Burning Palms.”
According to THR, the film pokes fun at Angeleno stereotypes as told through five interlacing stories, with each character moving toward a dark and often comic fate.
Also on board are Emily Meade, Rosamund Pike, Colleen Camp, Jamie Chung and Robert Hoffman, among others.
Wow, what a cast.
Landon, who co-wrote “Blood and Chocolate” and D.J. Caruso’s “Disturbia,” is directing his own script.
Some cast members already are established performers. Saldana, who most recently starred in “Vantage Point,” will next be seen in J.J. Abrams’ “Star Trek” reboot. Bell is currently onscreen in “Pride and Glory.”
As for Vega, she will next be seen as Plaster of Paris in “The Spirit.” Meanwhile, Meade recently wrapped filming for Wes Craven’s “25/8.”

List: Subbing In - Strange Moments in Replacement Actor History
15 July 2008 4:56 PM, PDT | From ifc.com | See recent IFC news
By Matt Singer
When adventurous treasure hunters Rick and Evelyn O'Connell return for their third film, this summer's "The Mummy: Tomb of the Dragon Emperor," one of them will look a bit different than they had previously. That's because Evelyn was once played by Rachel Weisz, who passed on this sequel and was replaced by Maria Bello. Likewise, the relationship between Bruce Wayne and Rachel Dawes from "Batman Begins" continues in this summer's "The Dark Knight," without Katie Holmes; Maggie Gyllenhaal fills in there.
It's a busy year for actors replacing other actors in sequels . we've already had a new Hulk (Edward Norton) and this fall, we'll have a new Punisher to match (Ray Stevenson) . so it's a good time to look back at some of the most notable substitutes. Sometimes new actors in old roles can make a huge impact; Antonio Banderas broke through with American audiences with "Desperado,

Carlos Brooks on "Quid Pro Quo"
13 June 2008 6:59 AM, PDT | From ifc.com | See recent IFC news
By Matt Singer
"I wanted to do something completely original and different that I hadn't seen before," said Carlos Brooks of his feature directorial debut. Though grounded in the traditions of detective fiction and film noir, Brooks' "Quid Pro Quo" is indeed something wholly its own; a film that lives inside those genres' boundaries while carving its own unique place outside them. In the film, Nick Stahl plays Isaac, a paraplegic public radio host who gets an anonymous tip about a guy who tried to bribe a doctor into amputating his leg. Researching the story introduces him to an underground (and evidently authentic) community of "wannabes" who desperately wish to be paralyzed, and to a mysterious blonde named Fiona (Vera Farmiga).
Before the thriller elements begin to congeal, "Quid Pro Quo" is particularly appealing in its detailed view of Isaac's day-to-day existence; the way in which, for instance, he can't

Quid Pro Quo
12 June 2008 2:00 PM, PDT | From avclub.com | See recent The AV Club news
Not long after meeting Nick Stahl's public-radio reporter in Quid Pro Quo, the feature debut of writer-director Carlos Brooks, museum conservator Vera Farmiga invites Stahl back to her apartment and slips into something a little less comfortable. Disappearing into her bedroom, she emerges wearing a cream-colored vintage negligee and a pair of leg braces. Watching from his wheelchair, Stahl's paraplegic character isn't sure how to respond. Having met Farmiga in the course of investigating wannabes, men and women who fantasize about paralysis, he can't be too surprised. Unfortunately, viewers probably won't be either. Brooks plunges into the thick of a largely unfamiliar subculture in Quid Pro Quo, but the journey involves a series of well-telegraphed twists and turns—one of them, a bit of fantasy involving a pair of magic shoes, at odds with the tone of the rest of the film. Torn between his duty to report...

IFC News Podcast #80: Physical Disability in Film
9 June 2008 1:15 PM, PDT | From ifc.com | See recent IFC news
By Matt Singer and Alison Willmore
In "Quid Pro Quo," opening this week, Nick Stahl plays a wheelchair-bound reporter who begins a journalistic investigation into a group of handicap wannabes who long for disabilities of their own. Intriguing look into an unexplored subculture, or recycling of film stereotypes about the disabled? It got us thinking, and so this week on the IFC News podcast we examine how people with physical disabilities have been portrayed in movies, from "Freaks" to "My Left Foot" to "Rory O'Shea Was Here," and discuss whether actors playing disabled characters is the new blackface.

On offer this week is a veritable gallery of the eclectic and the eccentric as M. Night Shyamalan goes R-rated, Edward Norton goes green, Werner Herzog goes to the Antarctic, and two of Herzog's fellow countrymen go to California to climb a big rock very, very quickly.
"Beauty in Trouble"
Czech director Jan Hrebejk and writer Petr Jarchovský continue their longtime collaborative partnership with this dense ensemble drama loosely inspired by Robert Graves's poem of the same name. This time, the duo who balanced humor with drama in the Oscar-nominated Holocaust-set "Divided We Fall," turn to the devastating series of floods that swept Prague in 2002, and tell the story of Marcela (Anna Geislerová), an overworked mother of two living in squalor. When her ne'er do well husband is taken in by the police, she's courted by a well-to-do businessman (Josef Abrhám) and Marcela is forced to

This week, our cup runneth over with a "Karate Kid" knockoff, a shot-for-shot remake and more documentaries than Michael Moore can shake an overpriced hot dog at.
The recipient of plenty of acclaim at last year's Cannes Film Festival, director Li Yang has a casual yet immediate style that's been touted as something of a Chinese answer to Ken Loach. "Blind Mountain" offers an uncomfortable but powerful indictment of China's one child policy and the sex trade that has flourished under it. The film follows the desperate struggle of a young woman who accepts a job in a remote mountain village, only to discover that she has unwittingly been sold into marriage as a slave.
Opens in New York.

Before anyone had heard of Angelina Jolie, model-turned-actress Rhona Mitra was the original face of "Tomb Raider"'s Lara Croft. Ten years later, she's traded
