Trailers, Clips, and Images for DETACHMENT Starring Adrien Brody, Christina Hendricks, and Lucy Liu

Tony Kaye made a big splash in 1998 with his directorial debut American History X.  He has kept busy in the years since, but maintained a low profile.  That could change with his new film Detachment.  The cast will bring name recognition to the film: veterans Adrien Brody, James Caan, Christina Hendricks, Lucy Liu, Marcia Gay Harden, Bryan Cranston, William Petersen, Blythe Danner, Tim Blake Nelson are joined by fresh faces like Betty Kaye and Sami Gayle.  Tribeca Films acquired the film in September, and has released trailers and clips over the last month that stand out from the vast collection of promotional material we host here at Collider.  The story follows a substitute teacher (Brody) on assignment at a failing public school.  The appeal of Detachment is in the execution, so hit the jump for trailers, clips, posters, and images from the film.

Adrien Brody and Tim Robbins Cast in Depiction of 1942 Chinese Famine

by Dave Trumbore    Posted: November 18th, 2011 at 2:00 pm

Actors Adrien Brody and Tim Robbins have joined director Xiaogang Feng’s new project about the Chinese famine of 1942, which resulted in the death of an estimated 1 million people. Though the movie does not yet have a title, Feng and his production partner, Huayi Brothers, say it will be based on the Liu Zhenyun novel Remembering 1942. The famine, unfortunately one of many in China’s history, took place during the second Sino-Japanese War from 1942 to 1943.

Feng is best known for his 2010 pic Aftershock, depicting the story of a family separated by a devastating earthquake in 1976 China. Aftershock earned him an Achievement in Directing nomination and a Best Film award at the 2010 Asia Pacific Screen Awards. Hit the jump for more on the project.

Hi-res Image from Tony Kaye’s Drama DETACHMENT; Pic Acquired by Tribeca Film

by Jason Barr    Posted: September 8th, 2011 at 2:29 pm

Tribeca Film announced today that it has acquired all U.S. distribution rights for director Tony Kaye’s (American History X) drama Detachment. The deal means that Tribeca is responsible for all distribution including theatrical, VOD, digital and DVD. Written by Carl Lund, the film features an ensemble cast that includes Adrien Brody, Christina Hendricks, Bryan Cranston, Marcia Gay Harden, Lucy Liu, Blythe Danner and William Peterson.

Detachment revolves around Henry Barthes (Brody), a promising teacher whose apathy prevents him from forming emotional bonds with those around him. As luck would have it, his new gig at an equally apathetic public school begins to put Henry in a role model position. Hit the jump for the official press release (which features a little more plot info) and for a hi-res image from the film.

MIDNIGHT IN PARIS Review

by Matt Goldberg    Posted: June 10th, 2011 at 6:50 am

I can’t remember the last time Woody Allen made a film as delightful as Midnight in Paris.  He’s certainly done it before and it’s not one of his comedy classics like Annie Hall and Sleeper, but Midnight in Paris is undoubtedly one of Woody Allen’s best films of the past ten years.  It’s the rare Allen comedy where he doesn’t insert an Allen-like neurotic character, and the script finds inventive ways to be funny and thoughtful.  Johanne Debas and Darius Khondji’s cinematography is gorgeous, the film is filled with wonderful performances where you can tell that all of the actors are having a marvelous time, and Allen brings it all together with a joy rarely seen in his movies these days.

Trailer for Woody Allen’s MIDNIGHT IN PARIS Starring Owen Wilson and Rachel McAdams

by Matt Goldberg    Posted: March 28th, 2011 at 9:51 am

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.

Adrien Brody, Timothy Olyphant, Josh Lucas, James D’Arcy, Oliver Jackson-Cohen, and Benjamin Walker Screen Testing for ABRAHAM LINCOLN: VAMPIRE HUNTER

by Matt Goldberg    Posted: January 13th, 2011 at 1:49 pm

Fox is looking for actors who could play our 16th President if our 16th President hunted vampires in his spare time.  Deadline reports that Fox is screen testing the following actors for the role of young Abe Lincoln in Timur Bekmambetov’s Abraham Lincoln: Vampire Hunter: Adrien Brody, Timothy Olyphant, Josh Lucas, James D’Arcy (Into the Storm), Oliver Jackson-Cohen (Faster), and Benjamin Walker (Flags of Our Fathers).  If Brody gets the gig, I hope he brings his cheesy Predators voice to the role.

For those not familiar with the project, Bekmambetov’s 3D adaptation is based on the novel by Seth Grahame-Smith (who also wrote the screenplay) with Tim Burton on board as a producer.  The story imagines that Abraham Lincoln had a secret journal that chronicled his secret life as a vampire hunter avenging his mother’s death. Hit the jump for a synopsis of the novel.  Abraham Lincoln: Vampire Hunter is slated for June 22, 2012.

THE DARJEELING LIMITED Criterion Blu-ray Review

by Andre Dellamorte    Posted: November 14th, 2010 at 4:55 pm

It seems the Criterion Collection will not rest until every Wes Anderson film is under their banner, and with their release of The Darjeeling Limited, they are one title away from having all of his films in their collection. Few modern filmmakers seem to have pursued this goal, and few modern filmmakers seem as deserving. And yet The Darjeeling Limited strikes as a transitional work, a filmmaker trying to re-find his voice after having gone through a cycle of films that worked through the main concerns of a filmmaker. The film stars Adrien Brody, Owen Wilson and co-screenwriter Jason Schwartzman as three brothers on a spiritual quest in India to find themselves (and their mother) after their father has passed away. My review of The Darjeeling Limited on Blu-ray after the jump.

Trailer for WRECKED Starring Adrien Brody

by Matt Goldberg    Posted: October 14th, 2010 at 1:24 pm

Adrien Brody is having an eclectic year.  He’s starred in the sci-fi thriller Splice, the action flick Predators, the stoner comedy High School, the direct-to-DVD remake The Experiment, and now we have a trailer for the upcoming mystery flick Wrecked.  The premise is that Brody plays a guy who wakes up from a car crash with no memory, but his circumstances lead him to believe that he’s a fugitive bank robber.  Although I didn’t find the trailer too impressive (the best part is when it looks like Brody is going to try and punch a mountain lion), I think Brody is a solid actor.  It helps that it looks like he’s left his silly “gritty” Predators voice behind.

SPLICE Blu-ray Review

by Andre Dellamorte    Posted: October 14th, 2010 at 5:55 am

The horror genre is very pliable, but studios often chase the familiar, and for good reason. A Nightmare on Elm Street is an easy sell, and remaking something gives it a built-in cache of awareness. A small, weird title about a mutant that borrows from David Cronenberg’s sensibilities is a harder sell, simply because the audience doesn’t know what to expect, and it’s obviously strange. Such may have been why Splice – which didn’t get that much traction – came out this summer and fell away quickly even though it’s one of the most interesting and accomplished horror films in quite some time. Adrien Brody and Sarah Polley star as geneticists working on creating spare parts for humans. When they use some human DNA, they accidentally create a baby mutant. Oh well, maybe it will be reborn on home video. My review of Splice on Blu-ray after the jump.

Adrien Brody and Jonathan Rhys Meyers Rumored for Mr. Fantastic in FANTASTIC FOUR Reboot

by CJ Simonson    Posted: August 22nd, 2010 at 9:17 am

No one debates that the Fantastic Four movies need a reboot.  Spider-Man may not, but Sue Storm and Mr. Fantastic did.  With X-Men: First Class approaching its start date, Fox’s next Marvel film will be a new Fantastic Four movie.  We’ve previously reported that The Thing is going to be entirely CGI.  Now ScreenRant reports on a pair of interesting names being thrown around for the role of Mr. Fantastic: Oscar-winner Adrien Brody and Jonathan Rhys Meyers.

Both actors have recently taken part in more action-oriented roles — Brody with the recent release of Predators, and Meyers with the flop From Paris With Love.  Both would be logical choices for the elastic genius Mr. Fantastic, and someone was going to offer one of them a superhero role eventually anyways.  After the last efforts on this franchise, it’s good to see the movie taken in a more serious direction.  With either of these actors, it’ll have to.  In other news, the reboot of the new Fantastic Four movie was allegedly dubbed “Fantastic Four Reborn”; this title has reportedly been stricken from the record.  Although any official title hasn’t been released, hopefully they go with one less tacky.

Adrien Brody and Sharon Stone to Replace Sam Rockwell and Kim Cattrall in SWEET BABY JESUS

by Matt Goldberg    Posted: July 21st, 2010 at 1:44 pm

We have a bit of casting change-up for you this afternoon.  Deadline reports that Adrien Brody and Sharon Stone are replacing Sam Rockwell and Kim Cattrall in the religious comedy Sweet Baby Jesus.  While I’m always bummed when Rockwell leaves a project, Adrien Brody is no slouch and Sweet Baby Jesus has a solid premise: “Joe (Brody), a guy who finds himself accompanying his pregnant teenage girlfriend to Bethlehem, Maryland during the 1970s. His girlfriend’s name is Mary (Pixie Lott) and soon the town is agog that it’s about to witness the Second Coming.”  Stone will play Mary’s mother.  Sean Brosnan (son of Pierce Brosnan) has also joined the cast, and Bette Midler is still on board to play the innkeeper.

THE EXPERIMENT Starring Adrien Brody and Forest Whitaker Going Straight to DVD/Blu-ray

by Jason Barr    Posted: July 9th, 2010 at 5:30 pm

While Adrien Brody may be spending time on another planet in Predators, his film The Experiment will not be spending any time in theaters. According to Movieweb, Sony Pictures Home Entertainment will release the Paul Scheuring (television’s Prison Break) film straight to DVD/Blu-ray on September 21^st. The drama/thriller is a remake of the 2001 German film of the same name (but, in classic German style, with Das replacing The) and also stars Forest Whitaker, Cam Gigandet (Twilight), Maggie Grace (Taken), and Clifton Collins Jr. (The Boondock Saints II: All Saints Day).

PREDATORS Review

by Matt Goldberg    Posted: July 8th, 2010 at 10:14 pm

In today’s action blockbuster marketplace, it’s refreshing to see a film that boils the genre down to its bare essentials and thrives as a lean, mean, disemboweling machine.  Not designed to sell collectors glasses at Burger King or have an opening weekend gross that would dwarf the GDP of a third-world country, Predators is a solid B-action movie that delivers fun, thrills, and unapologetic violence for only a fraction of the cost of your run-of-the-mill special effects extravaganza.

Adrien Brody and Walton Goggins Interview PREDATORS

by Jake Lasker    Posted: July 6th, 2010 at 5:45 pm

Last week I had the opportunity to see Nimrod Antal’s Predators and participate in two press conferences after the screening.  While I can’t say much about the movie, know that the highlight of my time at Collider thus far was telling Antal to his face how much I really liked this movie.  We’ve already posted the press conference with director Nimrod Antal and producer Robert Rodriguez.  Today we’ve got the actors press conference with Adrien Brody and Walton Goggins.

In the film, Brody and Goggins play characters that have literally been dropped out of the sky onto an unfamiliar planet where they are hunted by the film’s titular characters.  Brody plays Royce, an American mercenary and Goggins plays Stans, a death row inmate just days away from his execution.  While many people have doubted Brody’s ability to star in an action film, I believe Brody’s performance will pleasantly surprise all the doubters.  To see what Brody and Goggins had to say about preparing for their roles, the first time they saw the original Predator, filming on location and much more, continue reading.  Predators hits theaters this Friday.
