The Prisoner - Trailer And Website
6 November 2009 12:57 AM, PST | Latemag.com/film | See recent LateFilmFull news »
A man, known as "Six," finds himself inexplicably trapped in "The Village" with no memory of how he arrived. As he explores his environment, he discovers that his fellow inhabitants are identified by number instead of name, have no memory of any prior existence, and are under constant surveillance. Not knowing whom to trust, Six is driven by the need to discover the truth behind The Village, the reason for his being there, and most importantly -- how he can escape.
Jim Caviezel (The Passion of the Christ, The Thin Red Line) will play the role of Six; and two-time Oscar nominee Ian McKellen (Lord of the Rings, The Da Vinci Code) will co-star as Two.

On top of the titles listed below I also watch the Criterion Blu-ray for Howards End and the Blu-ray for Warner Home Video's North By Northwest, both of which will be reviewed on Tuesday along with the Criterion Blu-ray for Wings of Desire.

As for the titles listed below, the first three are the final three of Sony's November 3 release of Film Noir Collection Volume One after I discussed my thoughts on The Sniper and 5 Against the House last week.

22 October 2009 3:54 PM, PDT | TVovermind.com | See recent TVovermind.com news »
I haven't watched the original Prisoner series, but I'm very excited about AMC's new reboot in the form of a 6 hour miniseries, which will be premiering on November 15.
Thanks to AMC, we have a synopsis of the show, a trailer, some behind the scenes videos and promo photos.
In November, AMC will present The Prisoner miniseries, a reinterpretation of the British 1960s cult hit series that starred and was co-created by Patrick McGoohan.

Weekend Movie News Wrap Up: October 18, 2009
18 October 2009 2:08 PM, PDT | ScreenRant.com | See recent Screen Rant news »
This week:
The box office gets Wild; a Vampire Chronicles star moves to Cradlewood; Everything Must Go for Will Ferrell; Owen, Keener and Schwimmer Trust each other and Terrance Mallick’s Tree of Life withers in 2009.
Box Office
After a few years in post-production, Spike Jonze’s Where The Wild Things Are took the top spot with a mighty $32.4 million over the weekend. Catering to children and adults alike, it looks like this adaptation of the children’s book might make it to the century barrier.
Law Abiding Citizen came an impressive second with $21 million. The thriller has given a boost to the careers of Jamie Fox and Gerard Butler whose last movies underperformed.
Paranormal Activity scared up $20 million from only 760 screens for a $33 million total. It looks like the sky is the limit as Halloween approaches.
Couples Retreat plunged 47% giving the comedy a weekend take of just under $18 million. »

Terrence Malick's 'Tree of Life' Pruned for 2009
16 October 2009 2:22 PM, PDT | GetTheBigPicture.net | See recent Get The Big Picture news »
It almost had to happen this way, but Anne Thompson at Indiwire made it official yesterday: The new Terrence Malick film, The Tree of Life has been scrapped from this year's list of Oscar hopefuls, Instead, the project that has literally been brewing for 30 years might be headed to Cannes next May.
Malick walks to the beat of his own drum, and it's a painfully slow beat. The Thin Red Line was his first film in 20 years, and he's only made one (The New World) in the decade since. Thompson reports that the editing process is still going on, so Apparition - which picked up the distribution rights a couple months ago or so - has erased the film's tentative December 25th arrival. »

Tree of Life Not to Grow Until 2010
16 October 2009 11:27 AM, PDT | Atomic Popcorn | See recent Atomic Popcorn news »
New distributor Apparition has managed to maintain incredibly tight-lipped about Terrence Malick’s upcoming film Tree of Life. Very little is known even in regards to the plot of the film, which would seem unusual with just over two months remaining until the film’s original release date of December 25th.
However, Bob Berney, head of Apparition, has announced that the film remains unfinished and won’t be released until an unknown date in 2010. Berney also admitted he has not yet seen what has already been done on Tree of Life, which shows a certain faith in Malick’s abilities.
Malick earned such acclaim as a director with Badlands, Days of Heaven and The Thin Red Line, that actors are always eager for the opportunity to work with him. Although not much is known about Tree of Life, it is known that Brad Pitt, Sean Penn, and Jessica Chastain are »

Tree Of Life Held Back Until 2010
16 October 2009 4:28 AM, PDT | Screenrush | See recent Screenrush news »
The upcoming fifth film from perfectionist director Terrence Malick has been pushed back to an undertermined release date in 2010. Tree Of Life stars Brad Pitt and Sean Penn in a heartfelt story about the loss of a son's innocence and the struggle to come to grips with it into adulthood. Other than that, details on the film have remained a mystery, as the director has managed to keep a tight lid on the whole thing. Already, Malick has been in the editing room for nearly a year.
The information was released by new distributor Apparition, whose new head Bob Berny said, "It's definitely not going to come out this year... I can't tell you when it will come out."
The acclaimed director of Badlands and Days Of Heaven conceived of the story for Tree Of Life nearly thirty years ago. He has decided to accompany the film in some way »
'Tree of Life' Uprooted from 2009
15 October 2009 9:40 PM, PDT | CinemaSpy | See recent CinemaSpy news »
The Tree of Life, the new film from legendary director Terrence Malick, is not coming out in 2009. Exactly when it will be released remains up in the air.
While that should hardly be surprising, given Malick’s reputation for taking extended periods of time to piece together his movies, it does mean one sure-sounding Oscar bait is officially out of this year’s race. The Tree of Life has been described as a family drama about grief set in the 1950’s, and stars Sean Penn and Brad Pitt.
Apparition had scheduled a December 25 release date, but studio chief Bob Berney said it was "wishful," and confirmed, "It’s definitely not going to come out this year." The reason, Indiewire reports, is that Malick hasn’t finished the movie yet. Indeed, after more than a year of fussing in the editing room with his footage, shot in and around Austin back »
Nazis are Comin' at Ya in 'The 4th Reich'
11 September 2009 8:34 PM, PDT | CinemaSpy | See recent CinemaSpy news »
Nazis are back in fashion! Well, in the movies, anyway. For a while it seemed like Second World War movies were history, but there are signs of an upsurge in this sub-genre. And we're not talking Saving Private Ryan or The Thin Red Line here. Filmmakers are suddenly taking the war not quite so seriously again. Currently Inglorious Bastards is getting bums on theatre seats and Tarantino's latest is following in the jackboot steps of Tom Cruise's thriller Valkyrie. Elsewhere on this site, you will find coverage of Iron Sky, a Second World War sci-fi comedy that is on the way from the makers of the Star Wreck series of Star Trek spoofs.
Recently we heard about another new film being conscripted into filmland's fling with WWII. Moreover, this one is taking advantage of another current fad: 3D. This new film, which is in preproduction, is a British Second »
Kaylie Jones Reads from Lies My Mother Never Told Me

Lies My Mother Never Told Me by Kaylie Jones. As the daughter of award-winning novelist James Jones (From Here to Eternity, Some Came Running, The Thin Red Line), Kaylie Jones grew up surrounded by the literary elite, counting James Baldwin, Norman Mailer, and William Styron as close family friends. In her new memoir, Lies My Mother Never Told Me (William Morrow/HarperCollins), Jones takes readers behind the glamour, recalling a life and mother-daughter relationship riddled with emotional abuse and alcoholism. In this exclusive audio excerpt, she describes her sometimes lonely youth in Paris, and the beauty, years later, of being a mother herself. Listen to the podcast after the jump. »

Hans Zimmer Re-Teaming With Nolan To Score Inception
25 July 2009 9:52 PM, PDT | ScreenRant.com | See recent Screen Rant news »
BusinessWire (via NolanFans and The Playlist) is reporting that prolific film composer, Hans Zimmer, has been tapped to score Christopher Nolan’s upcoming secretive thriller, Inception. Of course, this isn’t really a surprise considering Zimmer worked with Nolan on both his Batman movies, Batman Begins and The Dark Knight.
Inception is Nolan’s new movie that could aptly be summed up as “mysterious.” With a few small character details aside, and a central story that focuses on blackmailing, the only real line of info we’ve had to go on is that it’s, “a contemporary sci-fi thriller set within the architecture of the mind.”
Even The Riddler would have trouble working that one out…
Although like I said, it’s no surprise that Zimmer is (apparently) scoring Inception since he scored Nolan’s Batman Begins and The Dark Knight (the latter along with James Newton Howard), The Playlist »

She represents the way of love and mercy, where the father (Brad Pitt) tries to teach his son the world's way, of putting oneself first.

Sean Penn Unexpectedly Withdraws from Two Projects
17 June 2009 1:43 AM, PDT | Reelzchannel.com | See recent ReelzChannel news »
Variety reports that Sean Penn announced he will pull out of two projects for unspecified personal reasons related to family.
Penn will no longer star in Peter Farrelly and Bobby Farrelly's The Three Stooges, in which he was to play Larry opposite Jim Carrey as Curly and Benicio Del Toro as Moe. He also withdrew from Cartel. In the Asger Leth-directed drama, scripted by Peter Craig, a man struggles to protect his son after his wife is killed in the world of Mexican drug cartels.
It is unclear how long Penn will be on hiatus. Prior to the announcement, he had already completed two other projects, which should still see release. The first is Fair Game, the Doug Liman-directed biopic based on the memoir of CIA agent Valerie Plame (with Naomi Watts in the starring role). The other is The Tree of Life, which stars Brad Pitt »

Jackman, Weisz And Pattinson Are ‘Unbound Captives’
16 May 2009 12:57 PM, PDT | ScreenRant.com | See recent Screen Rant news »
The Sexiest Man Alive, one of the most talented actresses working today and a Twilight heartthrob are being brought together for a period-drama. Hugh Jackman, Rachel Weisz and Robert Pattinson (Twilighters go crazy… now!) will star in the 19th century set film Unbound Captives, which is the directorial debut of actress Madeleine Stowe.
The script was co-written by Stowe along with husband Brian Benben back in the early ’90s, but the film never got made after Stowe declined a $5 million deal because she wanted to star in the lead female role herself. Fast forward 15 years, after realizing she would never be able to star in the role, she cast Weisz in the role she originally wanted, and decided to go ahead and direct the film herself.
Weisz will play a woman whose husband is killed and her two children kidnapped by a Comanche war party in 1859. She is rescued by a frontiersman, »

New Inglourious Basterds Footage
16 April 2009 3:21 AM, PDT | EmpireOnline | See recent EmpireOnline news »
With only four months until Inglourious Basterds storms our screens, Quentin Tarantino has unleashed new footage of his WWII opus on the unsuspecting audience of, er, American Idol. This short clip was held back as 'too hot for TV' and, although there's nothing in it as offensive as Simon Cowell's choice of knitwear, it does offer a first glimpse of Mike Myers as General Ed Fenech and on-set action with Tarantino leading the cast in a jaunty chorus of "because we love making movies!" in the La Louisiane bar.Judging by the footage we've seen so far, Inglourious Basterds is shaping up to be 95% Nazi-nutting mayhem, topped off with at least another 75% total bloody carnage. Expect very few lingering shots of local flora and fauna as Qt's extremely dirty dozen travel the French countryside redecorating it 'hint of German'... The Thin Red Line this ain't.

Malick Working on Two Films
23 March 2009 9:05 PM, PDT | CinemaSpy | See recent CinemaSpy news »
Terrence Malick, the reclusive and less-than-prolific director, is reportedly currently at work on two IMAX pictures; one his meditative Tree of Life, starring Brad Pitt and Sean Penn, the other an "ambitious documentary" which, according to The Playlist, is a natural history IMAX piece depicting "the birth and death of the universe".
Much more is known about Tree of Life, his wildly ambitious project which has drawn comparisons in scope and greater sense of madness to Darren Aronofsky's The Fountain. SlashFilm gleaned some factual information on the projects from Wikipedia, stating:
We trace the evolution of an eleven-year-old boy in the Midwest, Jack, one of three brothers. At first all seems marvelous to the child. He sees as his mother does, with the eyes of his soul. She represents the way of love and mercy, where the father tries to teach his son the worldís way, of putting oneself first. »
Sean Penn Set To Join Cartel
9 March 2009 10:31 PM, PDT | EmpireOnline | See recent EmpireOnline news »
By his own admission when he recently picked up his second Best Actor Oscar, Sean Penn isn’t exactly a barrel of laughs. His filmography of late ranges from the worthy to the dour to the depressing to the pass-the-Gillettes.However, there are signs that Penn’s attitude towards his work is changing. First, he was linked with the Farrelly Brothers’ Three Stooges movie, and today he’s entered into talks to star in Cartel, an action thriller from producer Brian Grazer.Yes, you read that right. Action thriller. Sean Penn. Action thriller. The closest Penn has come to an action movie in the last 20 years was the cerebral thriller, The Interpreter, that great shoot-out at the end of State Of Grace, and Terrence Malick’s WWII movie, The Thin Red Line.Yet here he is, all signed on and ready to star in Cartel, which sounds like a bit »
