The Satellites Have Launched. What Are They Orbiting?
30 November 2009 6:10 AM, PST | FilmExperience | See recent FilmExperience news »
The Satellites (formerly Golden) have announced their 2009 nominations for what it's worth. And you might be screaming "not very much".
It's hard to know what to make of this Golden Globe splinter group. There is never much of a narrative thread in their nominations. You can't sense from year to year a type of film they like or whatnot. Which makes them feel a bit suspect. They also do very strange things which you're about to see if you read their nominations. They never get much attention and yet they keep plugging away. This year they were especially kind to 2012 (who knew?), Nine and The Stoning of Soraya M. But they were downright rude to the sci-fi drama Moon which received zero nominations despite their lack of aversion to sci-fi films. I mention this because the moon is a natural satellite and the Satellites are artificial. Maybe they're jealous. What they're orbiting we know not. »

New Trailer For Nine
18 November 2009 2:28 AM, PST | Screenrush | See recent Screenrush news »
Now, we're not suggesting for one moment that we're fit to criticise the prolific talents of Tony and Oscar nominated director Rob Marshall, but it seems to us that he's trying as best he can to ape the screen achievements of the great Bob Fosse with his new film Nine - out later this year.
Having directed the screen adaptation of the 1974 musical Chicago back in 2002(music by the same guys who wrote 1966 hit Cabaret which was famously filmed by Fosse in a never-bettered 1972 adaptation), he's now collected an array of acting talent (Daniel Day-Lewis, Nicole Kidman, Marion Cotillard, Penélope Cruz, Sophia Loren, Judi Dench etc. etc. etc.) to fix for the screen an adaptation of the 1982 Broadway hit based on Federico Fellini's artist-on-the-verge-of-a-nervous-breakdown masterpiece 8 1/2.
Of course, it should be mentioned that Fosse also made an artist-on-the-verge-of-a-nervous-breakdown masterpiece in the form of 1979's Palme d'Or winner All That Jazz »
Exclusive: ‘New Moon’ Screenwriter Talks Adapting Empty Pages and ‘Eclipse’ Additions
17 November 2009 10:38 PM, PST | FilmSchoolRejects.com | See recent FilmSchoolRejects news »
I realize that not many in our core audience will be shouting Oh Em Gee whenever they see even the slightest bit of Twilight: New Moon news, but I think that most of our core audience (that means you, Darnell) loves the profess of filmmaking. You love the smell of color correction chemicals in the morning and the weight of an apple box in your arms. Or you just love that moment where you look up and a once-empty page is completely filled. With shit that you're going to edit anyway. But the point stands. Melissa Rosenberg is a screenwriter who straddles more two worlds in more than one way. The first is obvious: she writes heavily for both television and film. The second is less obvious: she has written three Twilight films (which seem to gain ire from certain sects of fanboys) and she writes for "Dexter" (which seems to get excited squeals from the same »

Screen Queens: Sally Bowles
8 November 2009 8:27 AM, PST | FilmExperience | See recent FilmExperience news »
MattCanada here with another week of homo classics. Since I started writing this weekly column about a month ago, I have focused on films which have not been Oscar contenders and not featured the actresses which Nathaniel, me, and all the readers of this website respect (read: worship in a cult-like fashion). So on to Cabaret!
Liza Minnelli's Oscar winning role as Sally Bowles may well be the gayest Oscar win of all time. Now I am not a big Liza fan, actually I actively dislike her in anything else, but in Cabaret she gives one of the most amazing performances in the history of cinema in the greatest movie musical of all time. Not to be hyperbolic or anything, but Liza's Sally and Cabaret are earth shatteringly good. Liza is hardly the only reason to love Cabaret. You can get almost as much pleasure out of Joel Grey and Marisa Berenson's performances, »

Halloween is nearing and Evan Rachel Wood has told Just Jared on what costume she will don on the day.

There was a cabaret and there was a city called Berlin in a country called Germany and it was the end of the world November 6 - 8, 13 - 15 & 20 - 22, 2009
As the Nazis begin their rise to power in Germany in the late 1920's, American writer Clifford Bradshaw visits Berlin. After making a few friends and finding housing, Clifford visits the sleazy Kit Kat Club and meets an English singer, Sally Bowles. The writer and singer soon fall in love. Meanwhile, Clifford's elderly landlord, Fraulein Schneider, gets engaged to a Jewish greengrocer, Herr Schultz not an easy decision given the increasing influence of the NaziS. Boasting a courageous score, impressive lyrics and a witty and calculated book, Cabaret is filled with memorable and, at times, haunting music to set the stage and bring you into the underbelly of the late 1920's Berlin...with songs like "Wilkommen", "Two Ladies", "Tomorrow Belongs to Me »
Kristen Bell will dance in "Burlesque"
12 October 2009 9:00 AM, PDT | AfterEllen.com | See recent AfterEllen.com news »
I officially declare this the year of Kristen Bell. She's everywhere lately, proving there's a lot more to her than the soothing voice of Gossip Girl, so it's only natural that she'd come out of the shadows of voiceover work — and in a big way.
The Veronica Mars star will be seen in a handful of new movies this season, starting with Couples Retreat, which opened this weekend, and co-stars Vince Vaughn and Jason Bateman (who, like Bell, was the star of another insanely amazing television show that for some godforsaken reason only lasted three seasons: Arrested Development).
But enough of dwelling on the past: It was just announced that Bell has been cast as Christina Aguilera's rival in a new musical feature, Burlesque, which also stars Cher, Stanley Tucci and Twilight's Cam Gigandet. But back to the main point: Kristen Bell. Doing burlesque.

Kristen Bell to Dance 'Burlesque' with Christina Aguilera
9 October 2009 4:04 PM, PDT | Fandango | See recent Fandango news »
Remember that burlesque movie starring Christina Aguilera? Well, it's happening – and not only has Cher been added to the cast (yes, remember Cher?) as a nightclub owner, but The Hollywood Reporter now tells us that sweet, innocent Kristen Bell is going to play Aguilera's rival. Oh yeah – it's on! For those who don't remember, Burlesque will travel down a familiar road as it's about a small town girl with a big city voice (Aguilera) who heads to Los Angeles where she finds love and success as a dancer in a neo-burlesque club (picture Bob Fosse's Cabaret). It's at this club, however, that Aguilera runs into Bell, who plays Nikki – the club's loose-cannon lead dancer. Of course Nikki isn't going to be too fond of a hot shot nobody stealing her spotlight, and so...

Kristen Bell vs. Christina Aguilera In ‘Burlesque’
9 October 2009 10:30 AM, PDT | The Flickcast | See recent The Flickcast news »
If you were anxiously awaiting a movie featuring Kristen Bell and Christina Aguilera fighting it out to see who becomes queen of the neo-burlesque stage (undoubtedly while wearing skimpy outfits), then this is your lucky day. Why? Well, it seems Bell has signed to take a role in Screen Gems upcoming musical drama Burlesque, which features that exact scenario.
Just in case you’ve never hard of this movie or needed a minute because you were picturing Kristen Bell in lingerie, Burlesque tells the story of “an ambitious small-town girl (Aguilera) with a big-town voice who finds love and success in a Los Angeles neo-burlesque club, reminiscent of the nightclub in Bob Fosse’s Cabaret.”
Bell will play Nikki, the “loose-cannon lead dancer and main attraction” at the club who, to say the least, is not so pleased when Aguilera’s character suddenly gets the spotlight. Of course, an intense »

Kristen Bell Becomes a Burlesque Dancer
9 October 2009 7:48 AM, PDT | Cinematical | See recent Cinematical news »
Cristina Aguilera's big-screen Burlesque debut is already a pretty interesting mix. We've got the slight girl with the powerful pipes, plus Cher returning to Hollywood as a nightclub owner and Stanley Tucci as the man who turns Aguilera's small-town girl "from bumpkin to bombshell." (Please tell me she's living in a lonely world.) But now, in a pretty wild twist, The Hollywood Reporter posts that Kristen Bell is joining the action as her rival.
As the story goes, Aguilera's girl has "a big-town voice" and "finds love and success in a Los Angeles neo-burlesque club, reminiscent of the nightclub in Bob Fosse's Cabaret." Bell enters the mix as Nikki, "the loose-cannon lead dancer and main attraction at the club who spirals out of control" when Aguilera steals the spotlight.
Now, there are a lot of women I could imagine battling Aguilera. At the top of the list would probably be Scarlett Johansson. »

Casting Notes: Kristen Bell, Parker Posey and Mia Wasikowska Have New Gigs; Eliza Dushku Teases Videogame Adaptation
9 October 2009 6:18 AM, PDT | Slash Film | See recent Slash Film news »
Just because Peter is back on the scene with Page 2 doesn't mean I have to skip the occasional casting roundup. First up, Kristen Bell will appear opposite Christina Aguilera in the musical drama Burlesque, not to be confused with that Showgirls sequel we talked about the other day. The film takes place in "a Los Angeles neo-burlesque club, reminiscent of the nightclub in Bob Fosse's Cabaret." Bell will be Nikki, "the loose-cannon lead dancer and main attraction at the club who spirals out of control when Aguilera's character suddenly gets the spotlight." A few tickets were probably sold based on that paragraph alone. [THR] After the break, news on projects for Parker Posey, Mia Wasikowska and Eliza Dushku. Parker Posey has joined the dark comedy Highland Park, starring Danny Glover as a teacher who wins the lottery and uses the winnings to restore his school's library and the community around it. »

Kristen Bell Cast as Christina Aguilera's Rival in 'Burlesque'

Kristen Bell will sing and dance to get her spotlight back in "Burlesque". The latest news related to the actress best known for her title role in TV series "Veronica Mars" unraveled that she has signed on to join the cast of the musical drama for Screen Gems, and is set to star as the rival of Christina Aguilera's character.
The 29-year-old will portray a character named Nikki, who is described to be a loose-cannon lead dancer and main attraction at a neo-burlesque club who spirals out of control when Aguilera's small town girl character suddenly gets the spotlight. She is expected to join the production when principal photography begins November 9.
Directed by Steve Antin, "Burlesque" centers on the journey of an ambitious small-town girl with a big-town voice. She finds love and success in a Los Angeles neo-burlesque club, reminiscent of the nightclub in Bob Fosse's "Cabaret". Cher plays the nightclub owner, »

Kristen Bell to Star Opposite Christina Aguilera in Burlesque
9 October 2009 12:10 AM, PDT | firstshowing.net | See recent FirstShowing.net news »
The combination of Kristen Bell, Christina Aguilera and burlesque can only mean one thing: Justin Timberlake is a dirty rotten liar, because sexy didn't come back until just now. THR reports that Bell (Couples Retreat) will join singer Christina Aguilera in the Steve Antin directed feature Burlesque, which follows the rivalry of the undoubtedly scantily clad characters of Bell and Aguilera as they fight for the spotlight in "a Los Angeles neo-burlesque club, reminiscent of the nightclub in Bob Fosse's Cabaret." Bell joins a cast that already includes Cher, Stanley Tucci and the promise of a whole lot of musical numbers. While Aguilera plays an "ambitious small-town girl with a big-town voice" Bell will take on the role of her rival Nikki, "the loose-cannon lead dancer and main attraction at the club who spirals out of control when Aguilera's character suddenly gets the spotlight." Sounds a little too similar »
