MGM Heading For Auction
12 November 2009 12:35 PM, PST | FilmShaft.com | See recent FilmShaft.com news »
After weeks of gossip and speculation it looks as if time is finally up for one of Hollywood’s oldest film studios, Metro Goldwyn Mayer, better known to film lovers around the globe as MGM.
On 1st October news spread around the web that the studio behind film successes such as James Bond, The Haunting, The Thomas Crown Affair and Poltergeist had hit massive financial difficulty and was “teetering on the edge of bankrupcy“. Now, after seemingly being given a final reprieve just days after the intial story broke, the studio has apparently failed at the last innings.
Variety reports that MGM will “essentially be auctioned off in the next few weeks”, bringing to an end a cinematic legacy that spans over 85 years.
The result is that major studios will now have the opportunity to bid for MGM’s rich back catalogue of films, although only time will tell which »

Bradley Cooper Enters the "Dark Fields"
8 November 2009 1:16 AM, PST | Reel Empire | See recent Reel Empire news »
It was recently announced that Bradley Cooper (The Hangover, Alias, Midnight Meat Train) will be headlining Relativity Media and Rogue Picture's thriller titled "Dark Fields". Cooper has replaced "Transformers" star Shia Labeouf according to reports. The movie is based on a book of the same name by author Alan Glynn. Neil Burger will be directing the picture from a script written by Leslie Dixon (The Thomas Crown Affair). The premise is rather strange and I should be surprised that Bradley Cooper would headline a flick like this after moving to A-list status after the unexpected sucess of "The Hangover". Then again, he did star in "Midnight Meat Train" thus anything's possible. Read on to see what the movie is about.

Bradley Cooper Wandering Through ‘Dark Fields’
5 November 2009 7:18 PM, PST | Atomic Popcorn | See recent Atomic Popcorn news »
Bradley Cooper, who shot to stardom in this summer’s The Hangover, has replaced Shia LeBeouf to star in Relativity Media’s Dark Fields.
Cooper will be playing a writer who’s down on his luck and manages to stumble upon a secret pharmaceutical drug designed to make a person smarter. The drug leads to the writer gaining financial and social success, but of course there’s always a catch. In this case, the drug has lethal side effects, including one that causes time to move in a stop-motion manner.
Dark Fields is said to be along the lines of Fight Club and The Game (both stellar movies, by the way) and, also like Fight Club, is based on a novel.
Alan Glynn’s book has been made into a screenplay by Leslie Dixon, the writer behind the screenplay for The Thomas Crown Affair. Dixon will also serve as producer of Dark Fields, »

Bradley Cooper Replaces Shia Labeouf in 'Dark Fields'

Bradley Cooper (who stars in Paramount's "where the hell are you?" Case 39) is set to star in Dark Fields, a thriller being directed by Neil Burger for Relativity Media. The story follows a down-and-out writer (Cooper) who gets his hands on a top-secret pharmaceutical drug that makes one smarter. He experiences sudden financial and social success but soon discovers that the drug has lethal and lasting side effects, including "trip-switching," a phenomenon in which time moves with a stop-motion quality. Before long, mysterious antagonists are pursuing him. The thriller is said to be in the vein of Fight Club and The Game. Shia Labeouf was originally attached to star in the project. The script is based on the book by Alan Glynn, with the screenplay written by Leslie Dixon ("The Thomas Crown Affair"). Universal will distribute via Relativity's Rogue Pictures. »
Bradley Cooper Will Run Through Neil Burger's Dark Fields
5 November 2009 5:09 PM, PST | firstshowing.net | See recent FirstShowing.net news »
Over a year of go it looked like Steven Spielberg's favorite surrogate son, Mr. Labeouf, was going to take on the lead role in The Illusionist director Neil Burger's adaptation of the novel Dark Fields, written by Alan Glynn, first published back in 2002. But today Relativity Media announced it will begin production on the thriller with Bradley Cooper (The Hangover) starring as Eddie, a down and out New York writer who finds a pill that gives him the ability to access the full capacity of his brain. But suddenly, some mysterious men are in pursuit as he realizes the full potential of his intelligence comes with unforeseen dangers. Burger will direct the Leslie Dixon (The Thomas Crown Affair, Hairspray) written script sometime later in the spring of 2010 and he sounds pumped, "I am really delighted that all of the elements of this project have come together in such »

TV Review: USA Connects Again With Entertaining ‘White Collar’
23 October 2009 11:39 AM, PDT | HollywoodChicago.com | See recent HollywoodChicago.com news »
Chicago – The creative roll of the USA Network continues tonight with the debut of another quick, clever, mystery-of-the-week series that should satisfy fans of their hits like “Monk,” “Psych,” “Burn Notice,” and “Royal Pains”. “White Collar” doesn’t break any molds, almost fitting too predictably into the USA dynamic, but it’s an entertaining program for the end of a long week and looks likely to be another slam dunk for one of the most successful cable networks of the ’00s.
Television Rating: 3.5/5.0
“White Collar” practically feels like a hybrid of USA hits from its plot description alone. It features international conspiracies a la “Burn Notice” but does so with a buddy duo like “Psych” and is set in the world of the uber-wealthy like “Royal Pains”. Of course, being derivative means little to viewers of a show like this as long as it’s entertaining and “White Collar” is surprisingly so, »

Movie Review: Law Abiding Citizen (2009)
16 October 2009 1:27 AM, PDT | Rope of Silicon | See recent Rope Of Silicon news »
Gerard Butler in Law Abiding Citizen
Photo: Overture Films "Some justice is better than no justice at all," says Jamie Foxx playing Nick Price, a Philadelphia prosecutor in charge of bringing justice to the two men that killed Clyde Shelton's (Gerard Butler) wife and young daughter in Law Abiding Citizen. It's a statement that speaks to the cracks in the American justice system and as a result Clyde is going to see to it these cracks are turned into canyons once he learns only one of the men will be sentenced to death while the other serves a meager three-year sentence. This is something Clyde simply can't tolerate.
Law Abiding Citizen is madness, mayhem and carnage all wrapped up into one big dumb actioner filled with plot and logic holes galore. Fortunately, it's too much fun along the way to even concern yourself with the hows and the whys of it all. »

Law Abiding Citizen – One Sheet, Images, And Trailer
13 September 2009 6:33 AM, PDT | AreYouScreening.com | See recent AreYouScreening news »
There's been a good deal of chatter about Law Abiding Citizen, and not all of it has been positive. For good or ill, the trailer for the film seems to let you know exactly where you are, and thus viewers are moved to quick decisions. You're either interested in a film about a guy who starts dealing out his own form of justice while in prison, or you aren't, and that's the kind of story that sets people pretty firmly in once camp or the other. On the other hand, you might be a fan of Jamie Foxx or Gerard Butler, and then what the movie is about might not be that important. For me, there's still one more hand to consider, and that is Kurt Wimmer. The man behind Equilibrium (a favorite of mine), and the screenplays for the remake of The Thomas Crown Affair, and The Recruit, Wimmer »

Labute to direct art-based thriller
19 August 2009 12:20 AM, PDT | EmpireOnline | See recent EmpireOnline news »
Neil Labute has been announced as the writer/director of an adaptation of author Chris Willeford’s Burnt Orange Heresy, a crime novel combining the world of art with the world of, well, crime. Think The Thomas Crown Affair, but on Palm Beach and you’re probably not that close.We’re reliably informed that the plot will centre on a shady art critic (the brilliantly named Jacques Figueras) desperate to get an interview with a reclusive but distinguished painter. Believe us when we say that hunting down publicity-shy interviewees isn’t actually that exciting – but with the novel promising Mr Figeuras carrying out ‘blackmail, burglary, fencing and assassination‘ to get what he wants, may be there is film potential in the seedy underbelly of Floridian art criticism after all.Both big Willeford fans, William Horberg (Kite Runner) will be producing alongside Labute, working together again after their Chris Rock »
Law Abiding Citizen Trailer Starring Jamie Foxx and Gerard Butler
14 August 2009 6:23 AM, PDT | FilmJunk | See recent FilmJunk news »
The first trailer for the upcoming thriller Law Abiding Citizen has hit the web this week, and while the concept is a little bit out there, I'm sure it's one that will hook a lot of people. Gerard Butler plays Clyde Shelton, a man whose wife and daughter are murdered, while Jamie Foxx plays the prosecutor who lets his family's killer walk. Unfortunately for Foxx, Shelton is not as ordinary as he might seem, and he decides to exact his own brand of justice on those responsible. The movie reminds me a little bit of Dexter meets Taken, and I have a feeling a lot will ride on the believability of the script, which is written by Kurt Wimmer who wrote and directed Equilibrium and Ultraviolet, and also wrote The Thomas Crown Affair, The Recruit and Street Kings. The movie is directed by F. Gary Gray (Friday, The Negotiator, The Italian Job »

The folks at our sister site Cinematical are working hard to give you news and reviews of the best -- and worst -- the silver screen has to offer. Here are some of their musings on the latest blockbusters, indies, and everything in between: G.I. Joe may have won the weekend box office, but when I was at my local theater on Saturday afternoon, I didn't hear one person in line ask for tickets to see it. So why did people stay away? Check out the review here. Cinematical is asking a lot of questions this weekend. The first of which is, what is your favorite John Hughes memory? Also, What happened to Rene Russo? I can't think of anything offhand that I've seen her in since The Thomas Crown Affair. How can Barbarella not be campy? Cinematical explains-- kinda. I saw the trailer for It's Complicated in front »

Which was the best year for movies: 1977, 1994, or 1999?
5 August 2009 5:00 AM, PDT | EW.com - PopWatch | See recent EW.com - PopWatch news »
Last week, we posted a story about how 1984 was the best movie year ever when it comes to films you actually want to watch on a rainy day playing hooky from work. Movies like Ghostbusters, Bachelor Party, This is Spinal Tap, Footloose, and The Terminator. Movies that were the exact opposite of the highfalutin' offerings from 1939 -- the year critics always cite as the greatest Hollywood vintage of all time. Don't get us wrong, there were some decent high-brow movies from 25 years ago, too, like Amadeus and The Killing Fields. But mostly we were talking about movies that were, you know, fun. And while some of you agreed with us about 1984's greatness, others were outraged. Apoplectic. Even concerned for our sanity. Some even made cases for other "greatest years". And we listened. That's what we do. So now, we've tallied up your nominees and narrowed it down to your »

Efron Snips Away At Floppy-haired Teen Idol Image
4 July 2009 7:27 AM, PDT | WENN | See recent WENN news »
Hollywood heart-throb Zac Efron has cut off his trademark locks in a bid to land more serious acting roles.
The High School Musical star is keen to shed his teen idol image, and wants to move away from the clean-cut movie parts that made him famous.
And the formerly floppy-haired hunk is slowly snipping away at his pretty boy reputation - after showing up on the set of his new movie with a shorter, sleeker crop.
The image overhaul may have something to do with Efron's forthcoming big screen venture - he is set to star in a "sexy thriller" from the writer of The Thomas Crown Affair. »
