Roger Corman to Receive Honorary Oscar
13 November 2009 10:58 AM, PST | iconsoffright.com | See recent Icons of Fright news »
Great news for fans of low budget auteur Roger Corman! (among which I count myself)
According to Studio Briefing, the legendary producer/director/mentor to a number of important directors will receive an honorary Oscar at next year's Academy Awards. The article suggests, interesting and accurately, that none of his 400 movies would ever be considered for an Oscar (even if you do like Humanoids From The Deep, it's not along the lines of The English Patient or Gandhi). So this is a huge deal for genre fans. I think they're more likely honoring him for his legacy, which includes proteges such as Martin Scorsese, Ron Howard, James Cameron and Jonathan Demme, all of whom have won Oscars.
I'll argue that Roger Corman has had an important influence on the film industry, even if his catalogue has not. It's nice to see a legend get honored, even if his legend is one of notoriety, »
Maslansky Plays With Ondaatje's Slaughter
30 September 2009 12:31 AM, PDT | HollywoodNorthReport.com | See recent HollywoodNorthReport.com news »
Author Michael "The English Patient" Ondaatje's novel, Coming Through Slaughter, a period piece focusing on the 'birth' of American jazz music, has been optioned by producer Paul "Police Academy" Maslansky. The adapted screenplay for "Slaughter" is by Emmy nominee Mark Bailey. Premise of Ondaatje's book, set in New Orleans, follows the life story of the cornettist 'Bolden', who was an influence on jazz greats the likes of Louis Armstrong. Production partner for the upcoming film is Rome-based producer Lars Bloch... »
Q&A: Juliette Binoche on Paris, Memory, and her First Kiss.
17 September 2009 9:00 PM, PDT | Vanity Fair | See recent Vanity Fair news »
It's impossible to have a mundane conversation with Juliette Binoche. I tried. No matter how pedestrian my questions were, the actress would think for a few seconds before responding with something weighty and pensive, if not entirely comprehensible—they say French women don't get fat, but Binoche doesn't even chew it. It's that same hint of deeper thoughts that loads her half-smiles with significance and makes her roles so rich, from her Oscar-winning turn in The English Patient to, well, Dan in Real Life with Steve Carell. Now, at 45, after acting in forty films, she's pursuing new passions, including painting, poetry, and dance—in fact, she's currently performing a limited dance engagement at Bam, in Brooklyn. When I met her, though, it was back in France (well, the French Consulate, which is technically still French soil) and we talked about movies, specifically about her latest movie, Paris. The film is an ensemble drama, »
"The Look" Gets the Gold
13 September 2009 1:41 PM, PDT | FilmExperience | See recent FilmExperience news »
Some people are never down for the count. And Lauren Bacall is one of those people. The famously silver tongued siren began bewitching moviegoers when she was only 19 -- surely the most mature teenager the screen ever saw -- in To Have and Have Not (1944). Aside from a fallow 1970s, she's been working steadily since. In all that time she's never learned to hold her tongue (so many choice soundbites over the years, god bless) and she's still a lively soul at 84 going on 85. Her birthday is next week.
When she lost her only Oscar nomination (1996's The Mirror Has Two Faces) to Juliette Binoche in The English Patient, most assumed that she would be of the Have Not variety when it came to the statue, despite her marriages to two legendary Haves, Oscar winners Humphrey Bogart and Jason Robards. But now, the wait for her very own golden boy is over. »

Coming Through Slaughter Going Ahead
8 September 2009 11:18 PM, PDT | EmpireOnline | See recent EmpireOnline news »
The last time a novel by Michael Ondaatje was adapted for the big screen, things went fairly well. That, of course, was The English Patient, Anthony Minghella’s Oscar-hoovering epic drama. And now producer Paul Maslansky is hoping that lightning will strike twice with his adaptation of Ondaatje’s novel about the birth of jazz, Coming Through Slaughter.Maslansky first optioned the property three years ago, but finally has a script that’s good to go, by Mark Bailey, which has been given the green light by Ondaatje. Maslansky’s production partner, Lars Bloch, is currently in Venice looking for distributors and potential directors.If it goes ahead, Coming Through Slaughter – which follows the life story of Buddy Bolden, a New Orleans-bazed cornettist credited with being a major player in the birth of what is widely hailed as the only American-created art form – will stick out like a sore thumb on Maslansky’s CV. »

Italian costume exhibition boasts Oscar-winning outfits
4 September 2009 6:36 AM, PDT | Boxwish.com | See recent BoxWish news »
Although we rave about the effortless chic of modern films such as 500 Days of Summer it’s often the period dramas that have the most impressive costumes. Italian designer Umberto Tirelli began creating film clothing and accessories in 1964 and although he died in 1990, his atelier has continued his work to this day. When he began making film and theatre attire he started out with “two sewing machines, five seamstresses, a milliner, a secretary and a driver-storeman.” He’s come a long way since then as his work is currently being shown in an Italian exhibition named “The Oscars’ Atelier: Costumes from the Tirelli Workshop for the Big Screen”.
During the 1960s many Italian directors believed that period costumes needed to look more authentic and recruited Tirelli to create their wardrobes. Making the outfits rigid and uncomfortable might have been bad for the cast but the directors wanted to capture the reality of wearing these clothes, »
Top 25 Brit Flicks From the Last 25 Years!
2 September 2009 9:53 AM, PDT | FilmShaft.com | See recent FilmShaft.com news »
Now this is a list we probably do not see often, at least state-side, but I thought it was a pretty solid one! The Guardian asked their “expert panel of film-makers and critics” to name their top 10 British films since 1984, instead they put together a list of 25 top British films from the past 25 years.
Films like Trainspotting, Four Weddings and a Funeral to newer films like Shaun of the Dead and Man On A Wire made the list. A few of these seem to be bordering on being British (only made by British filmmakers or about British people, not actually set in England, like Man on Wire) but they are all great films (those that I have seen).
Take a look below or click here for the full write-up! Perhaps my favorite on the list is Slumdog Millionaire and Shaun of the Dead, those have literally been my two most »

A big-budget blockbuster remake is readying for a shoot in North Wales. According to The Daily Mail, Clash of the Titans is preparing to move the production to a quarry in North Wales.
Preparation works began at Dinorwig quarry last week for the remake of the 1981 movie Clash of the Titans.
The film is set to bring a string of big names to Dinorwig, including Terminator 4's Sam Worthington, Star Wars and Batman Begins star Liam Neeson, Quantum of Solace Bond girl Gemma Arterton and Ralph Fiennes, who won acclaim in The English Patient and Schindler's List.
First Hydro, owners of the Dinorwig site, were paid 㿞,000 for the use of its land, which will go towards community grants.

Erotic German Horror 'Bandaged' by Maria Beatty debuts in Us on July 15th, 2009
2 June 2009 6:23 PM, PDT | Pretty/Scary | See recent pretty-scary news »
Bandaged, a new German horror/erotic thriller narrative film by S&M director Maria Beatty, will be having its North American premiere at the 2009 Outfest Film Festival on July 15th, 2009. Described as The English Patient meets Eyes Without A Face, it's an extremely disrturbing movie set in a mansion with lots of gothic elements and a visceral cocktail of sex and bodily terror...
A surgeon and his teenage daughter, Lucille, live in a mysterious mansion equipped with a full laboratory. A suicide attempt leaves Lucille's face burned and swathed in gauze, and a lady nurse tends to the nubile young woman. The attraction between the two women is palpable, developing into a forbidden affair. A period piece with nods to '60s European art house horror and a prime candidate for cult film status, Bandaged is a smoldering and stylish erotic thriller.

Box-Office Oracle: May 29 - May 31, 2009

#1 movie predicted correctly: 0 Weeks in a Row 1. Up I've put it at Wall-e numbers, per theater. I don't know what else to do with it. I consider a non-talking robot and an older fella to be about the same, marketing-wise. It has less theaters, comes a month earlier on the schedule, and it's against stronger competition (week 2 of Night at the Museum). But with all that said, I think it's about the same deal. Estimate: $59.5 million 2. Night at the Museum: Battle of the Smithsonian The first one fell over 47% in a weekend... but only after it had been out 23 weeks. I've got this doing much worse, I see it falling 47% this weekend alone. Estimate: $28.7 million 3. Drag Me to Hell In an Im conversation on Drag Me to Hell's box-office chances, Brad brought up The Strangers, and how he felt this film didn't look at all like that one, and so »

The Wire’s Idris Elba Stars In Thomas Ikimi’s Legacy
25 May 2009 9:47 AM, PDT | Twitch | See recent Twitch news »
We first became aware of writer-director Thomas Ikimi a couple years back when fueled by passion, credit cards and stacks of raw talent he burst on to the scene with Limbo, a purely independent psychological thriller that marked Ikimi as a fairly significant new talent to keep an eye on and prompted me to wonder openly just what the man would be capable if he had access to a seasoned crew and stable of experienced actors. Well, we’re about to find out since Ikimi is now in principal photography on his new feature, Legacy, which stars and is executive produced by The Wire‘s Idris Elba who is quickly carving out a niche for himself as one of the most talented and reliable character players going.
Black Camel Pictures are delighted to announce that on May 11th 2009 they began principal photography on their new Us set psychological thriller Legacy starring Idris Elba (Obsessed, »
