David Slade in the Running to Direct PRIDE AND PREJUDICE AND ZOMBIES; Johansson, Cooper, Wasikowska, Swinton, and O’Hara Rumored to Star

A couple weeks ago, director David O. Russell left the adaptation of Seth Grahme-Smith’s parody-novel Pride and Prejudice and Zombies for the Vince Vaughn flick Old St. Louis and to adapt the video game Uncharted: Drake’s Fortune.  Deadline is reporting that the directing gig for Pride is one of the hottest in Hollywood and that “a lot of helmers are lining up” for it since Russell left behind a strong script.  The only name that Deadline mentions is The Twilight Saga: Eclipse director David Slade.  Slade was one of the final candidates to get the big franchise films Wolverine 2 and The Hunger Games, but those gigs went to Darren Aronofsky and Gary Ross, respectively.

Natalie Portman also recently left Pride and Prejudice and Zombies (although she’ll remain on board as a producer).  Hit the jump for news on Scarlett Johansson, Bradley Cooper, Mia Wasikowska, Tilda Swinton, and Catherine O’Hara possibly starring.

WHERE THE WILD THINGS ARE DVD Review

by Jackson    Posted: March 25th, 2010 at 6:56 am

Take a classic work of children’s fiction, as famous for its art as it is it’s story.  Add an idiosyncratic director with a distinct visual style.  Recipe for success, right?  Wrong.  Unfortunately, Spike Jonze’s highly-anticipated adaptation of Maurice Sendak’s Caldecott Medal award-winning Where the Wild Things Are falls strangely flat.  Why after the jump…

by Brendan Bettinger    Posted: February 10th, 2010 at 9:57 pm

Lionsgate has debuted the trailer for Killers, an action comedy starring Ashton Kutcher and Katherine Heigl set for release this summer.  The basics: Heigl plays Jen, a computer tech vacationing in Europe where she encounters a shirtless and mysterious Spencer (Kutcher).  As romance ensues, Jen gets caught up in the dangerous world of Spencer who is, naturally, a “government-hired super assassin.”  Heigl is re-teaming with The Ugly Truth director Robert Luketic for the feature, which also co-stars Tom Selleck, Catherine O’Hara, and Martin Mull.

Check out the trailer after the break.

AWAY WE GO Blu-ray Review

by Andre Dellamorte    Posted: November 9th, 2009 at 11:01 am

The journey of Sam Mendes is an awkward one. A talented stage director, his first film came to win best picture, and fueled a (not undeserved) backlash against him. His second film was coolly received, while his next two pictured showed a lessening presence. Revolutionary Road was delayed for a year and was not the academy bait that was hoped for. For the summer of 2009 his most personal, and most satisfying film was released, Away We Go, and it shows a mellowed director dealing with personal issue is a way more satisfying way. My review after the jump.

Exclusive Interview: Forest Whitaker, Catherine O’Hara and Lauren Ambrose WHERE THE WILD THINGS ARE

by Steve 'Frosty' Weintraub    Posted: October 15th, 2009 at 2:20 pm

Opening tomorrow is director Spike Jonze “Where the Wild Things Are”. As I’ve written a few times on the site…the movie is an honest look at what it’s like being a kid. The film isn’t a fantasy, and it isn’t trying to sugar coat what you do when you’re upset at the world. While some are clearly going to have issues with the way Spike chose to make “Where the Wild Things Are”, I was spellbound and loving his universe. Also, I loved the way he had characters not say things when other movies would have tons of exposition. Many of his choices are unorthodox, and as an avid moviegoer and a fan of his work, I think he made a great film.

Anyway, Warner Bros. held a press day for the film here in Los Angeles and after the jump you can watch my interview with Forest Whitaker, Catherine O’Hara and Lauren Ambrose. Each of them voices one of the wild things and they talk about the unusual way Spike had them rehearse and the way Spike chose to make the film. Watch the interview after the jump:

5 Movie Clips and the Trailer – AWAY WE GO

by Steve 'Frosty' Weintraub    Posted: May 12th, 2009 at 11:44 am

Opening on June 5^th is director Sam Mendes new movie “Away We Go”. Since all reviews are under embargo for a few more weeks, I need to be careful what I say.

However, I don’t think anyone at Focus Features will mind me saying that I loved the movie. Loved. “Away We Go” has a brilliant script, beautiful cinematography, great acting, and Sam Mendes directed this thing to perfection. While the film isn’t some big budget summer extravaganza, it’s a film absolutely worth checking out when it gets released. Especially if you’re in your twenties or thirties and still trying to figure life out.

Anyway, to help promote the film, we’ve been given 5 clips from the movie and the trailer, so check them out after the jump.
