***THE TREE OF LIFE Wins the Palme d’Or at the 2011 Cannes Festival ***Holly Hunter in Talks for New "Romeo and Juliet" Movie ***"Bridesmaids" Sequel Being Considered ***Carrie Remake? Stephen King Asks, Why?

THE TREE OF LIFE Wins the Palme d’Or at the 2011 Cannes Festival
by Brendan Bettinger Posted: May 22nd, 2011 at 3:02 pm


The 2011 Cannes Film Festival award winners were announced today, and I’m excited about just how many are already set for American distribution. Despite mixed (yet still reverent) buzz for Terrence Malick’s The Tree of Life took home the Palme d’Or (Cannes’ top honor) before it hits theaters on May 27. Likewise, Kirsten Dunst overcame the controversy Lars Von Trier inflicted on Melancholia to win Best Actress; Magnolia acquired the film in February. Nicolas Winding Refn won Best Director for Drive, scheduled for release on September 16 courtesy of FilmDistrict. Jean Dujardin won Best Actor for his role in The Artist — you wouldn’t expect a silent black-and-white French film to be a hot commodity, but The Weinstein Company picked up The Artist for release later this year. And Sundance Selects will bring us The Kid with a Bike, the latest from the Dardenne brothers, after it tied with Once Upon a Time in Anatolia for the Grand Prix (the runner-up prize to the Palme d’Or).


It sounds like a good year for Cannes, yielding a bountiful crop that we’ll all be able to experience soon enough. Hit the jump for the full list of winners.

 "Bridesmaids" Sequel Being Considered
Posted: May 22nd, 2011 by WorstPreviews.com Staff


Now that the $33 million "Bridesmaids" has already grossed $44 million in just 8 days, NY Mag caught up with director Paul Feig and actress Melissa McCarthy to find out if a sequel is being planned.


"It depends how we do in the next couple weeks, but I know it's already been brought up," said Feig. "When you get a group that's this deep and this good, it's a crime to not use them again. You just want to make sure that you do it as well as you did the first one and try to make it better. So, we're up for the challenge."


McCarthy added: "I will show up wherever these guys tell me to go. I'm in."

 Carrie Remake? Stephen King Asks, Why?


Author Stephen King reacts to the news of a Carrie remakeOne of the big news items yesterday was that MGM is moving forward on a remake of the 1976 horror classic Carrie, with playwright/screenwriter Roberto Aguirre-Sacasa coming aboard to write the script. Author Stephen King recently spoke out against the remake, mainly since he's so fond of the original movie, which was directed by Brian De Palma. Take a look at what he had to say below, including his intriguing casting suggestion of Lindsay Lohan to play the title character, and who he would like to see direct.




"I've heard rumblings about a Carrie remake, as I have about The Stand and IT. Who knows if it will happen? The real question is why, when the original was so good? I mean, not Casablanca, or anything, but a really good horror-suspense film, much better than the book. Piper Laurie really got her teeth into the bad-mom thing. Although Lindsay Lohan as Carrie White... hmmm. It would certainly be fun to cast. I guess I could get behind it if they turned the project over to one of the David's: Lynch or Cronenberg."




The Carrie remake is still in very early stages and, like Stephen King says, "who knows if it will happen?" However, our original report from yesterday indicated MGM and Roberto Aguirre-Sacasa want to be more faithful to Stephen King's novel than the original movie, so perhaps the author might get behind this project after all. We'll just have to wait and see.


Carrie was released November 3rd, 1976 and stars Sissy Spacek, Piper Laurie, Amy Irving, William Katt, Betty Buckley, Nancy Allen, John Travolta, P.J. Soles. The film is directed by Brian De Palma.

Johnny Depp & Penelope Cruz Cover 'Parade'

Johnny Depp and Penelope Cruz get into character on the latest cover of Parade.
Pirates of the Caribbean: On Stranger Tides director Rob Marshall revealed how they handled news of Penelope’s pregnancy just one week before filming began.
“We were like, uhhhhh. I said, ‘Are you going to be okay sword fighting with a baby in your stomach?’ But she was up for it,” he recalled.
“She said she’d understand if we had to replace her, but she didn’t want to be replaced. It took more time, ultimately, but she was worth it,” he added.
As for whether or not this will be the last time fans will see Captain Jack, Rob teased, “It’s like the James Bond series. I think there are probably lots of stories still to tell.”

Hilary Swank Joins Matthew McConaughey in THE DALLAS BUYER’S CLUB; Elizabeth Debicki Signs on for THE GREAT GATSBY

by Adam Chitwood    Posted: May 11th, 2011 at 3:15 pm

We’ve got a couple of casting stories for you this afternoon. First up, Hilary Swank is set to join Matthew McConaughey in The Dallas Buyer’s Club. Directed by Jean Marc Vallee (The Young Victoria), the film s based on the true story of Ron Woodroof, a heterosexual man who was diagnosed with AIDS in 1986.  Given only a few months to live, Woodroof began to smuggle alternative and illegal treatments into the US and into the hands of other AIDS patients. THR’s report on the matter doesn’t specify what role Swank will be playing. The film is currently being shopped to buyers at Cannes.
Additionally, director Baz Lurhmann continues to fill out his cast for The Great Gatsby as Deadline reports that Australian newcomer Elizabeth Debicki is set to play Jordan Baker in the adaptation of F. Scott Fitzgerald’s novel. Leonardo DiCaprio will take on the role of Gatsby, Tobey Maguire is set as narrator Nick Carraway, Carey Mulligan will portray Daisy and Isla Fischer is in talks to play Myrtle Wilson. Ben Affleck was offered the role of Tom Buchanan, but was forced to turn it down due to scheduling conflicts. The film, which may or may not be shot in 3D, is set to start filming later this year in Australia. Hit the jump for a synopsis of The Great Gatsby.

Mos Def Joins Season Six of DEXTER

by Ethan Anderton    Posted: May 11th, 2011 at 3:20 pm

We just recently learned that Colin Hanks would have a major character arc appearing in all 12 episodes on the forthcoming sixth season of Showtime’s serial killer drama series Dexter, and now another name has surfaced for a major role. THR reports rapper turned actor Mos Def (Be Kind Rewind) will also have a multi-episode arc on the hit series. Production will begin in June with Mos Def playing a hardened ex-con who claims to have found religion yet seems to continually find himself surrounded by violence. Apparently Dexter will actually reveal the truth behind who this man really is behind the front. Meanwhile, the report also reveals Hanks’ character will be a man name Travis, the main nemesis of the sixth season and a highly intelligent ancient artifacts expert who is linked to a series of grisly murders in Miami. Sound good?

Sam Claflin to Play Prince in SNOW WHITE AND THE HUNTSMAN

by Matt Goldberg    Posted: May 4th, 2011

Rupert Sanders’ Snow White and the Huntsman can’t seem to find a huntsman, but they’ve now landed on a prince.  Deadline reports that rising star Sam Claflin (Pirates of the Caribbean: On Stranger Tides) will play the prince in the re-imagining of the fairy tale which stars Kristen Stewart as Snow White and Charlize Theron as the Evil Queen.  The story centers on Snow White escaping from the Evil Queen and learning to fend for herself from the Huntsman.  On Monday, we reported that Chris Hemsworth (Thor) was the frontrunner to play the huntsman but casting leads on that role seem to change from day to day.  If Hemsworth were cast, it would probably change the Snow White-Huntsman relationship from protege-mentor to a love story.
Claflin will star alongside Jeff Bridges and Julianne Moore in The Seventh Son before moving on to shoot Huntsman in the fall.  Snow White and the Huntsman is set to open on December 21, 2012.

First Clip from Terrence Malick’s THE TREE OF LIFE

by Phil Brown   Posted: May 4th, 2011

Art house fans can officially prepare to swoon because the first clip from Terrence Malick’s highly anticipated and endlessly delayed The Tree Of Life has hit the internettoday. The film is set to premiere at this years Cannes Film Festival and open in the US a few short weeks later, but other than that precious little is known.
It’s a project that Malick has been nursing since the 70s and editing for almost two years now. All that’s been revealed about the plot is that the film will star Sean Penn as a man struggling to come to terms with the meaning of life and the complicated relationship he had with his father during a time of lost innocence he experienced in the 50s. Oh yeah, all this will supposedly be intertwined with scenes depicting the formation of the earth and the universe (including dinosaurs) that Malick has spent years designing with special effects guru Douglas Trumbull (2001: A Space Odyssey, Blade Runner). The film stars Penn, Brad Pitt, and Jessica Chastain and will be released on May 27^th. Hit the jump to see the clip.

Bradley Cooper in Talks to Play Lucifer in PARADISE LOST

by Adam Chitwood   Posted: May 4th, 2011

Bradley Cooper’s upcoming slate is looking quite full. The actor just recently entered negotiations to star in The Crow remake, and now he’s in talks to star as Lucifer in director Alex Proyas’ (Knowing) adaptation of Paradise Lost. The film has been in development for quite some time, with Proyas signing on last September. The 17th-century epic poem is about the Satan’s temptation of Adam and Eve and the pair’s eventual expulsion from the Garden of Eden, with an epic war between archangels Lucifer and Michael taking place in heaven.
Variety reports that Proyas’ adaptation “will be crafted as an action vehicle that will include aerial warfare, possibly shot in 3D,” which is exactly what John Milton had in mind when writing the epic poem. While no official offer has been made, Cooper is apparently “eager” to take the role. Funnily enough, Proyas directed the original 1994 version of The Crow, so maybe they’ve bonded over their mutual admiration for eye makeup? The script for Paradise Lost has been tackled by no less than five writers, with Ryan Condal turning in the latest draft. Hit the jump for a synopsis of Milton’s poem. .... http://collider.com/bradley-cooper-paradise-lost/89002/

Trailer for DOLPHIN TALE Starring Morgan Freeman, Ashley Judd, and Harry Connick Jr.

by Jason Barr    Posted: April 7th, 2011

A trailer for director Charles Martin Smith’s Dolphin Tale has landed online. Starring Morgan Freeman, Ashley Judd, Harry Connick Jr., and Kris Kristofferson, the film tells the story of a dolphin, Winter, who loses most of her tail to a crab trap and is aided in her recovery by the combined efforts of a doctor (Freeman) who builds a prosthetic tail and a family (Judd, Connick, etc.) who perhaps wills her to survive. While unremarkable, the trailer does a nice job of painting the film in the inspirational light it is meant to be cast. Of course, the “from the studio and producers of The Blind Side” reminder doesn’t hurt in aiding that end either.

Juan Carlos Fresnadillo to Direct THE CROW

by Jason Barr    Posted: April 7th, 2011

28 Weeks Later director/co-writer Juan Carlos Fresnadillo has been tapped by Relativity Media to direct a “re-invention” of 1994’s The Crow. Per the release, Fresnadillo is expected to co-write the project’s script with an as-of-yet unnamed scribe. Although casting details announcements are still forthcoming, the release confirms that Fresnadillo’s film will focus on the character Eric Draven and that production is aiming to begin this Fall. In discussing the reboot, producer Edward Pressman says:

“The original Crow was groundbreaking cinema; its gothic visual and musical ideas influenced a generation and cinema itself. With Juan Carlos, we have every confidence that his new Crow will have a similar impact on the contemporary audience.”

Ben Affleck in Talks to Join Baz Lurhman’s THE GREAT GATSBY

by Adam Chitwood    Posted: April 7th, 2011

While director Baz Lurhman is busy fine-tuning his adaptation of F. Scott Fitzgerald’s The Great Gatsby for the big screen, it looks like he may have added another star to the cast. Ben Affleck is currently in talks to join Leonardo DiCaprio, Carey Mulligan and Tobey Maguire in the film. Deadline reports that Affleck is mulling over the role of Tom Buchanan, husband of Daisy who will be played by Mulligan. DiCaprio is set as Gatsby himself and Maguire will take on narrator Nick Carraway.

Affleck isn’t a sure thing, as he’s currently prepping his next directorial outing Argo, about the 1979 hostage crisis in Iran. However, Deadline seems to think that Affleck will find the time in his schedule to fit Gatsby in. The adaptation is set to start shooting in Australia in August. Hit the jump for a recap of what we know about the film so far, as well as my thoughts on Affleck’s casting. ............ http://collider.com/ben-affleck-the-great-gatsby/85006/

Fox Searchlight Launches THE TREE OF LIFE Site with 20 Mini-Clips

by Brendan Bettinger    Posted: April 7th, 2011

Fox Searchlight has launched a comprehensive, interactive website for The Tree of Life at the domain twowaysthroughlife. Once you enter, you are greeted by hypnotic music and two options: “the father’s way” or “the mother’s way.”  Each path offers ten different clips, none much longer than five seconds and mostly free of dialogue.  I still can’t tell you much about the big picture of Terrence Malick’s film, but the site provides more of the ethereal imagery that I’ve been fawning over since the debut of the trailer.

Brad Pitt, Sean Penn, and Jessica Chastain star in this “impressionistic story of a Midwestern family in the 1950s.”  Click here to head down the rabbit hole.  Read the official synopsis for The Tree of Life after the break. ........... http://collider.com/the-tree-of-life-movie-site/85016/

The Hobbit Set Photos Featuring Martin Freeman as Bilbo Baggins

More spy photos have come in from the set of director Peter Jackson's The Hobbit. While yesterday's pics offered a look at Andy Serkis in preparation to shoot scenes as Gollum, today's images offer a first look at Martin Freeman as Bilbo Baggins. Well, we think it's Martin Freeman. Even the cameraman isn't sure if its actually the actor or a stand-in. But these photos do offer a look at the clothes Bilbo will be wearing. We are also given a look at a mysterious actor in creature make-up. Check out these new images below.

John Travolta Officially In For Gotti

published: 2011-03-30 16:47:15 Author: Mack Rawden
It’s been months since we last heard John Travolta was offered the role of mobster John Gotti, but until today, the project seemed to have stalled. And why shouldn’t it have after producer Mark Fiore made some wild comments about it shaping up to be the next Godfather? You can’t just say shit like that. Even if you think it, tell people you’re optimistic or that you have hopes it could go down as a mafia classic. It’s like a baseball player telling the media he’s the next Babe Ruth.

Hyperbole aside, this Gotti biopic is moving forward, and today it took one more step toward relevancy. According to Variety, Travolta has officially accepted the lead role of the so-called Teflon Don. For years, Gotti sauntered through the streets of New York, openly welcoming publicity and ruling the city’s underworld with an iron fist. By the time his lead hitman Sammy The Bull turned on him in 1991, he was perhaps the most famous mob figure since Lucky Luciano, Al Capone or Meyer Lansky.

The film, entitled Gotti: Three Generations, will be helmed by Nick Cassavetes and should begin shooting shortly in New York City. It loosely intertwines the Gotti family lineage, focusing not only on Gotti’s career trajectory but also his relationship with his son who eventually turned his back on a life of crime.

In reality, there is enough of a story here to be the next Godfather, but I’ll reserve such praise until I actually see it.

Editor's Note: There seems to be a ton of confusion on the internet as to who exactly John Travolta will be playing. The famous John Gotti is technically John Gotti Jr.; however, he's frequently called John Gotti Sr. and his son, a producer on the film, goes by John Gotti Jr. As there were initial rumors that James Franco was in talks for the younger Gotti, I'm assuming Travolta is in play for the older, more famous Gotti. Many outlets have run pictures of Travolta next to the older Gotti, all while saying he'll play John Gotti Jr. Who exactly that refers to is anyone's guess. http://www.cinemablend.com/new/John-Travolta-Officially-In-For-Gotti-23961.html

**Trailer for Woody Allen’s MIDNIGHT IN PARIS **Kelly Macdonald Replaces Reese Witherspoon in BRAVE Lead Role [UPDATED] **Johnny Depp Sneaks into Martin Scorsese’s HUGO CABRET **New Poster for THE TREE OF LIFE

Concept Art for Pixar’s BRAVE; Kelly Macdonald Replaces Reese Witherspoon in Lead Role [UPDATED]
by Matt Goldberg Posted: March 28th, 2011
I’m already looking past Cars 2 and on to Pixar’s next film Brave. That’s partially because Cars 2 looks awful and partially because Brave will feature the studio’s first female protagonist. It was also going to be the studio’s first film with a female director (Brenda Chapman), but there was a bit of controversy last October when Chapman was replaced by Mark Andrews, who previously directed the Pixar short One Man Band.


Behind-the-scenes drama aside, Brave looks like it could be a great film. The film is set in Scotland and centers on a tomboyish princess who accidentally unleashes evil on her kingdom and must save the day. The princess was to be voiced by Reese Witherspoon but scheduling conflicts forced her to drop out. She’ll be replaced by they actually scottish Kelly Macdonald (Boardwalk Empire). Hit the jump for more details on the film plus a first look at the concept art. Brave is set to hit theaters in 3D on June 22, 2012. [Updated: Disney has provided some high-resolution images of the concept, which you can check out after the jump]

Trailer for Woody Allen’s MIDNIGHT IN PARIS Starring Owen Wilson and Rachel McAdams
by Matt Goldberg Posted: March 28th, 2011

The trailer for Woody Allen’s Midnight in Paris has gone online. The film centers on a man (Owen Wilson) who is in Paris with his wife (Rachel McAdams) but begins going off on his own a midnight to explore the nightlife the city has to offer. It’s tough to be excited for Midnight in Paris since Woody Allen insists on turning out one film per year regardless of whether or not it’s a film worth making. While he has a great cast lined up (Michael Sheen especially looks to be having some fun), a Woody Allen film these days is a crapshoot and at best he feels like he’s repeating himself. Hopefully Midnight in Paris will offer a change of pace, but nothing in the trailer hints that it will.


Hit the jump to check out the trailer. Midnight in Paris also stars Kathy Bates, Carla Bruni, Marion Cotillard, and Adrien Brody. It opens May 20th and will premiere at the Cannes Film Festival.

Johnny Depp Sneaks into Martin Scorsese’s HUGO CABRET
by Matt Goldberg Posted: March 28th, 2011
Martin Scorsese’s 3D family film Hugo Cabret already has an impressive cast. The film stars Asa Butterfield, Chloe Moretz, Ben Kingsley, Christopher Lee, Emily Mortimer, Sacha Baron Cohen, Jude Law, Michael Stuhlbarg, Emily Mortimer, Ray Winstone, Frances de la Tour and Richard Griffiths. Now it turns out some guy named Johnny Depp is also in the movie. Le Parisien [via The Playlist] published a still from the movie and it shows Depp as M. Rouleau, “an abstract painter who helps the children on their adventure.”


Hit the jump to check out the image of Depp along with a set photo of the mechanical man that Hugo (Butterfield) and his eccentric friend Isabelle (Moretz) encounter. Hugo Cabret is due out November 23rd.

New Poster for THE TREE OF LIFE Starring Brad Pitt and Sean Penn; Opening in the UK on May 4th?
by Matt Goldberg Posted: March 28th, 2011

Fox Searchlight has released a new poster for Terrence Malick’s The Tree of Life. While this summer is filled with superheroes and other big franchise properties, I’m glad that Searchlight is boldly throwing in a Malick movie that will mostly likely confuse and divide audiences (but judging by the trailer, it will be a very pretty confusion and division). This new poster isn’t an astounding design, but it does provide tiny images of the film’s gorgeous-looking cinematography.


Empire is also reporting that the film will open in the UK on May 4th. That’s slightly confusing since the film is set to make its world premiere at the Cannes Film Festival, which doesn’t begin until May 11th. We’ll see how that shakes out, but it’s currently set for release in the US on May 27th. Hit the jump to check out the poster.

**First Look at Shia LaBeouf in John Hillcoat’s THE WETTEST COUNTY IN THE WORLD **New Red-Band Trailer for YOUR HIGHNESS **First Trailer for THE BIG BANG Starring Antonio Banderas **Terrence Malick’s THE TREE OF LIFE to Premiere at Cannes Film Festival in May

First Look at Shia LaBeouf in John Hillcoat’s THE WETTEST COUNTY IN THE WORLD
by Matt Goldberg Posted: March 23rd, 2011


While John Hillcoat’s The Proposition and The Road never completely clicked for me, I know he has a great film in him and I’m hoping that great film is The Wettest County in the World. Based off the novel by Matt Bondourant, Wettest County centers on two brothers (played by Shia LaBeouf and Tom Hardy) who become bootleggers in the American south during Prohibition. Working from a script by Nick Cave (The Proposition), the film has an incredible cast that includes not only LaBeouf and Hardy, but also Mia Wasikowska, Jason Clarke, Gary Oldman, Guy Pearce, Dane DeHaan, and Jessica Chastain. Oh, and Ellis will also be scoring the film. You need to be excited for this movie.


A set photo of Shia LaBeouf has recently leaked online and shows him dressed up in period garb. Hit the jump to check out the image along with a synopsis of the novel.

 New Red-Band Trailer for YOUR HIGHNESS
by Matt Goldberg Posted: March 23rd, 2011


Universal has released a new red-band trailer for David Gordon Green’s Your Highness. While it’s not as long as the previous red-band trailer, almost all of the footage is new and there are many great jokes to be had. Rather than recite them to you, you should just hit jump and check out the not-safe-for-work trailer even if you are at work. Live dangerously.


Your Highness stars Danny McBride, James Franco, Zooey Deschanel, and Natalie Portman. It opens April 8th. ......read more;  http://collider.com/your-highness-red-band-trailer/82028/




 

First Trailer for THE BIG BANG Starring Antonio Banderas
by Adam Chitwood Posted: March 23rd, 2011
The first trailer for The Big Bang has hit the web. Directed by Tony Krantz (Otis), the film stars Antonio Banderas as a private detective who is hired to find a missing stripper. That’s about all the plot I’m able to boil down because, judging from the tilt-heavy trailer, this flick looks to be a bit of a mind-bender in the vein of Richard Kelly’s Southland Tales.


Hit the jump to check out the trailer. The Big Bang stars Banderas, William Fichtner, James Van Der Beek, Snoop Dogg, Delroy Lindo and Rebecca Mader. Anchor Bay Films is set to release the film on May 13th.

Terrence Malick’s THE TREE OF LIFE to Premiere at Cannes Film Festival in May
by Adam Chitwood Posted: March 23rd, 2011
Director Terrence Malick’s highly anticipated, and long in the works, The Tree of Life is finally being released this May, and now word comes that the film will have its world premiere at the Cannes Film Festival earlier that month. Variety reports that it’s still unclear whether Malick will screen the film in-competition or not, but The Tree of Life will definitely be there. Back in 2010, it looked like the film might screen at that Cannes Film Festival, but the ever-meticulous Malick didn’t feel that the flick was ready just yet.


The Tree of Life stars Brad Pitt, Sean Penn and Jessica Chastain and follows a life from childhood in the 1950’s to adulthood in the modern day. If the trailer is any indication, audiences are in for a very characteristically Malick experience (visceral, thought-provoking, etc.). If you missed it, be sure to check out Steve’s interview with Chastain in which she describes the experience of working with an auteur like Malick. The Tree of Life hits theaters on May 27th. The 2011 Cannes Film Festival takes place from May 11th – May 22nd. Hit the jump for the official synopsis.
