Carey Mulligan

New Image from THE GREAT GATSBY, Starring Leonardo DiCaprio and Carey Mulligan

by Adam Chitwood    Posted: May 25th, 2012 at 10:33 am

A new image from director Baz Luhrmann’s The Great Gatsby has landed online.  We got our first look at the film by way of a trailer earlier this week, and for better or worse it’s undeniably Luhrmann.  Many were put off by the use of popular music in the trailer, and to that lot I’d like to ask you to re-watch Moulin Rouge! and Romeo + Juliet and tell me what you were expecting from Luhrmann’s spin on Gatsby.  The cast is encouraging and the photography looks absolutely phenomenal (I’m actually eager to see the film in 3D).  If nothing else, Luhrmann’s Gatsby promises to be completely unlike any other iteration of the material we’ve seen before or are likely to see in the future.  This new image is a snapshot of a scene between Leonardo DiCaprio’s Gatsby and Carey Mulligan’s Daisy under the conveniently gorgeous moonlight.

First Trailer for THE GREAT GATSBY Starring Leonardo DiCaprio, Tobey Maguire, and Carey Mulligan [UPDATED with Poster]

by Dave Trumbore    Posted: May 22nd, 2012 at 4:41 pm

The first trailer for director Baz Luhrmann‘s The Great Gatsby has gone online.  While I’m not the biggest fan of the source material, I do happen to be a fan of Luhrmann’s.  Having this phenomenal cast lined up for the production doesn’t hurt either and this new trailer gives us a glimpse at each of them in turn.  There are no 3D effects on display as of yet, but the first trailer highlights all of the bravura, hyperbole and flair we’ve come to expect from the Moulin Rouge! director.  While I was a little put off by the choice of music for the trailer, I’ve got faith that the soundtrack will be exemplary as always.

Hit the jump to watch the trailer.  The film stars Leonardo DiCaprio, Tobey Maguire, Carey Mulligan, Joel Edgerton, Jason Clarke and Isla Fisher.  The Great Gatsby opens in 3D on December 25th. [Update: We've now added the teaser poster, which you can find after the jump.]

Rooney Mara to Replace Carey Mulligan in Spike Jonze’s Untitled Project

by Adam Chitwood    Posted: April 25th, 2012 at 12:09 pm

Director Spike Jonze is finally gearing up to shoot his first film since 2009’s Where the Wild Things Are, and a casting change is underway.  Carey Mulligan was set to star opposite Joaquin Phoenix, Amy Adams, and Samantha Morton in the mystery project, but scheduling conflicts have forced her to drop out.  Not to fear, though, because Oscar nominee Rooney Mara is now in final negotiations to take over the role.  Previous synopses had the satirical film centering on a gathering of world leaders meeting to discuss global events from the changing price of oil to the timing of wars, but Variety’s report notes that the story centers on a man who falls in love with the voice of a computer.  Hit the jump for more.

Nicolas Winding Refn Talks ONLY GOD FORGIVES, Confirms Horror/Thriller I WALK WITH THE DEAD As His Next Film; Contemplating Tokyo Setting

by Adam Chitwood    Posted: March 30th, 2012 at 9:34 am

We were all big, big fans of director Nicolas Winding Refn’s Drive here at Collider last year, so it’s with eager eyes that we’ve been watching Refn’s follow-up, Only God Forgives, unfold. The film stars Ryan Gosling as a man who’s been living in exile in Bangkok for the past ten years after killing a cop. He manages a Thai boxing club as a front for a drugs operation and finds himself in hot water after his brother is killed for murdering a prostitute. The boys’ mother arrives in Bangkok to collect her son’s body and instructs Gosling to take revenge and “raise hell.”

Refn recently spoke a bit about the making of the film and even touched on his next project, a horror movie/sex thriller called I Walk with the Dead starring Carey Mulligan. Hit the jump to see what he had to say.

Contenders to Star Opposite Johnny Depp in THE THIN MAN Include Emma Stone, Kristen Wiig, Emily Blunt and More

by Adam Chitwood    Posted: March 29th, 2012 at 1:18 pm

It’s time for another shortlist story as apparently every actress in Hollywood is looking to star opposite Johnny Depp in the remake of The Thin Man. Chicago and Pirates of the Caribbean: On Stranger Tides director Rob Marshall is onboard to helm the adaptation of Dashiell Hammett’s novel, which itself was turned into a 1934 feature film. The story centers on private detective-turned-socialite Nick Charles and his charming wife Nora as they’re drawn into investigating a murder. Depp is, obviously, set to play the dashing detective, and now Marshall is set to meet with a slew of actresses to cast the lovely Nora. Hit the jump to find out who’s up for the gig.

First Look at Oscar Isaac, Carey Mulligan, and Justin Timberlake in the Coen Brothers’ INSIDE LLEWYN DAVIS

by Matt Goldberg    Posted: February 24th, 2012 at 7:02 am

We’re more than happy to report all things Coen Brothers, but I’ll admit the first photos from the set of Inside Llewyn Davis were pretty dull.  I love signage as much as the next guy, but now we’ve got some good set photos to show you.  The new images show off lead actors Oscar Isaac, Carey Mulligan, and Justin Timberlake, and the male cast members have gone bearded.  The film is set in 1960s Greenwich folk scene, so the actors look period-appropriate.  I’m not sure why Isaac is carrying around a cat, but I’m sure the cat digs his beard.  Cats love beards almost as much as they like Internet memes.

Hit the jump to check out the set photos.  The film also stars Garrett Hedlund, Stark Sands, and John Goodman.

Amy Adams, Carey Mulligan and Samantha Morton Eyeing Spike Jonze Film

by Dave Trumbore    Posted: February 1st, 2012 at 7:27 pm

Back in October, we reported that Carey Mulligan (Shame) was circling a new, untitled Spike Jonze project starring Joaquin Phoenix (Gladiator) and written by Charlie Kaufman (Adaptation). Now, however, it looks as if two other actresses are eyeing the role. Samantha Morton (The Messenger) and Amy Adams (The Fighter) are both reportedly in discussions to star opposite Phoenix in a film financed by Annapurna Pictures’ Megan Ellison. Details are few and far between but past synopses suggested the satirical film was about a gathering of world leaders meeting to discuss global events from the changing price of oil to the timing of wars.

Best Performances, Directing, Quotes, Kills, and More of 2011

by Matt Goldberg    Posted: December 27th, 2011 at 7:38 pm

As we cruise through awards season, eventually all of the Oscar categories will firm up.  Four nominees will be certain and there will be a little debate concerning who gets the fifth slot.  Some of those choices will be correct and others will be boring and predictable.  After the jump, I’ve put forward my picks for best actor, actress, supporting actor, supporting actress, director, cinematography, animated film and documentary.  I’ve also thrown in my choices for non-Oscar categories for Breakthrough Performance, “A Very Good Year”, Best Villain, “Who’s a Good Boy?”, Best Quote, Best Kill, Best Surprise, and Biggest Disappointment.  I hope that one day the Academy will recognize the validity and necessity of a “Best Kill” Oscar.

by Adam Chitwood    Posted: December 13th, 2011 at 8:53 am

Production on Baz Luhrmann’s ambitious 3D adaptation of The Great Gatsby is currently underway in Australia, and today we’ve got our first look at official images from the film. We’ve seen a number of set photos featuring the cast all done up in their dapper Gatsby costumes, but these images give us our first official glimpse at stars Leonardo DiCaprio, Carey Mulligan, Tobey Maguire, and Joel Edgerton. Everything we’ve seen from this adaptation so far has been pretty fantastic, and these images are no exception (everyone’s just so damn attractive). Hopefully we’ll get to see a trailer sometime soon to get a better idea of what Luhrmann has in store.

Hit the jump to check out the images. DiCaprio plays Gatsby, Mulligan plays Dasiy, Maguire is our narrator Nick Carraway, and Edgerton takes on mega-douche Tom Buchanan. The Great Gatsby opens in 3D on December 25th, 2012.

SHAME Review

by Matt Goldberg    Posted: December 1st, 2011 at 2:49 pm

[This is a reprint of my review from the 2011 Toronto International Film Festival.  Shame opens tomorrow in limited release.]

Alcoholics are told they’ll never find love in a bottle and drug addicts are told they’ll never find happiness in a needle. But what about sex addicts whose compulsion precludes them from intimacy and love? Steve McQueen‘s Shame delves deep into the life of a sex addict and with laser-like focus examines the pain and torment that can drive such a person away from heartfelt interactions and towards self-destruction. McQueen’s inspired and confident direction coupled with a heart-breaking performance from star Michael Fassbender makes Shame far more than a PSA or a righteous condemnation. McQueen and Fassbender make Shame a devastating powerhouse.

Red-Band Trailer for SHAME

by Matt Goldberg    Posted: November 29th, 2011 at 2:00 pm

Fox Searchlight has debuted an online-only red-band trailer for Steve McQueen‘s Shame.  Like the previous trailers, Fox Searchlight has refused to manufacture a controversy based on the NC-17 rating or pretend there’s a titillating aspect to McQueen’s movie.  I really dig this new trailer, and the way it’s cut together does a subtle job of conveying the sexual addiction of the film’s protagonist, Brandon (Michael Fassbender).  The trailer is interspersed with brief clips from Brandon’s sexual encounters, but I couldn’t spot any nudity (although you can probably find some if you go through frame-by-frame).

Hit the jump for the trailer.  The film also stars Carey Mulligan and James Badge Dale.  Shame opens in limited release this Friday.

2012 Oscar Preview: Best Supporting Actor and Best Supporting Actress

by Adam Chitwood    Posted: November 24th, 2011 at 9:20 am

Ah, November. Leaves are falling, colder weather is here (depending on where you live), and the 2011 movie season is coming to a close. While angry shoppers and red Starbucks cups generally mean it’s time to start preparing for the many awkward/tense family encounters that are sure to come, it’s also time to start thinking Oscar. We’ve seen a few contenders throughout the year, but a plethora of heavyhitters will be opening over the next 5 weeks.

To aid in your Oscar polls (or to quench your curiosity) we’ve compiled a state of the race preview as of this lovely Thanksgiving week. Granted, a lot can change from now until February, but a good portion of the major players have already been screened and we’re starting to get a sense of how it could all play out. We’ll be examining all the major categories over the next four days, kicking things off with the infamously unpredictable Best Supporting Actor and Actress. Hit the jump to see where things stand.

First Images of Leonardo DiCaprio, Carey Mulligan, and Tobey Maguire in Costume on the Set of THE GREAT GATSBY

by Adam Chitwood    Posted: November 18th, 2011 at 1:10 pm

Some new set photos from The Great Gatsby have surfaced, giving us a great look at the three leads in costume. Leonardo DiCaprio looks positively dapper as Jay Gatsby, Carey Mulligan is lovely as Daisy, and Tobey Maguire looks like….well, Tobey Maguire. The images are pretty fantastic, and if you weren’t won over by the casting decisions alone, these costume pics should entice you. We got glances of Maguire before (as well as Joel Edgerton and Isla Fisher), but this is our first look at DiCaprio and Mulligan. I’m anxiously looking forward to the adaptation not only because it’s The Great Gatsby, but also because I’m highly intrigued as to what director Baz Luhrmann has in store for his 3D iteration.

Hit the jump to check out the images. The Great Gatsby opens in 3D on December 25th, 2012.

Carey Mulligan Talks SHAME, THE GREAT GATSBY, and the Coen Bros.’ INSIDE LLEWYN DAVIS

by Christina Radish    Posted: November 18th, 2011 at 9:04 am

The NC-17 rated drama Shame follows Brandon (Michael Fassbender), a New Yorker who refuses intimacy with women while feeding his desires with a compulsive addiction to sex. When his younger sister, Sissy (Carey Mulligan), unexpectedly moves into his apartment, she stirs up memories of their shared painful past, and Brandon’s life begins to spiral further out of control.

During this exclusive interview with Collider, actress Carey Mulligan talked about how devastated she would have been if she hadn’t gotten to play Sissy, that she never knew what co-star Michael Fassbender was going to do during their scenes, how unflinching and uncompromising director Steve McQueen is, and how sex addiction is a subject that should be discussed, but that this film is definitely not for children. She also talked about how extraordinary it is to be in The Great Gatsby and work with Leonardo DiCaprio and Baz Luhrmann, how the Coen brothers are her favorite filmmakers and that she can’t believe she gets to be one of their characters (in Inside Llewyn Davis), and that she couldn’t refuse the opportunity to work with Spike Jonze. Check out what she had to say after the jump:

New Trailer for SHAME Starring Michael Fassbender and Carey Mulligan

by Matt Goldberg    Posted: November 17th, 2011 at 11:31 am

Fox Searchlight has released a new trailer for Steve McQueen‘s adult drama Shame.  The film centers on Brandon (Michael Fassbender), a man whose carefully constructed facade conceals his sex addiction.  Wearing its NC-17 rating like a badge of pride, the new trailer uses blurbs to stress how this is a movie for adults in the vein of movies like Last Tango in Paris and Midnight Cowboy.  It also features Carey Mulligan (who plays Brandon’s sister, Sissy) heartbreaking rendition of “New York, New York”, which is one of my favorite scenes in 2011.

Hit the jump to check out the trailer.  Shame opens in limited release on December 2nd.
