Chloe Sevigny

James Franco Enlists Olivia Wilde, Mila Kunis, Jessica Chastain, and More for Poetry Adaptations

by Adam Chitwood    Posted: May 15th, 2012 at 7:57 am

By now, we’re all aware that James Franco is a fairly multifaceted fella.  He dips his toe in comedy, drama, short films, experimental films, and higher education.  For his latest project, he’s assembled an impressive cast for two feature films based on a couple of books of poems.  Variety reports that Franco stars alongside Mila Kunis and Jessica Chastain in an adaptation of the 1983 book of poems Tar by C.K Williams, and he also enlisted Olivia Wilde, Chloe Sevigny and Whoopi Goldberg for an adaptation of Black Dog, Red Dog by Stephen Dobyns.

For Tar, Franco and executive producer Victorino Noval selected 10 directors via a competition at NYU’s Tisch School of the Arts to helm segments of the film.  He also used a similar formula for Black Dog, Red Dog. Tar is completed and could premiere at the Toronto Film Festival, while Black Dog is still in the editing phase.  They’re both interesting projects, and it’s nice of Franco to give NYU students a shot and something as high profile as this.  The actor recently wrapped Sam Raimi’s Oz the Great and Powerful and will next star in Seth Rogen’s directorial debut The End of the World.  He can also be seen playing a cornrowed drug dealer in Spring Breakers. No word on where Franco obtained the cloning technology necessary to do all the things he’s done in the past five years.

Amanda Seyfried Strips Down for LOVELACE Poster

by Dave Trumbore    Posted: May 1st, 2012 at 7:26 pm

It’s been a little while since we had a porn star update, so here’s a new poster featuring Linda Lovelace.  Technically, it’s Amanda Seyfried portraying Linda Lovelace in this new poster for the indie biopic, Lovelace.  Splitting hairs.  It’s not as provocative as you might expect, but I’m reserving some hope that, as the movie gets closer to release (unexpected pun!), the material gets more and more risque.  If that wasn’t the plan, it’s something the Lovelace marketing team might want to consider.

Then again, it’s not all about the sex appeal, since a good portion of Lovelace deals with the abusive relationship between the porn star and her husband, Chuck Traynor (Peter Sarsgaard).  You can take a look at previously released images, set photos and posters here.  Lovelace also stars Sharon Stone, Adam Brody, Chloe Sevigny, Juno Temple, Sarah Jessica Parker, Chris Noth, Robert Patrick, and James Franco.  Hit the jump to see the new poster.

Chloe Sevigny Joins LOVELACE; Demi Moore Drops Out of Cameo Role

by Adam Chitwood    Posted: January 25th, 2012 at 11:49 am

The star-studded biopic Lovelace has gained one actress but lost another. THR reports that Chloe Sevigny is set to reunite with her Shattered Glass co-star Peter Sarsgaard in the Linda Lovelace-centered film. The pic stars Amanda Seyfried as the titular Lovelace, and chronicles her experience as the world’s first porn star in Deep Throat. Sevigny is coming onboard to play a feminist journalist who sets out to find out who the real Linda Lovelace is. A large portion of the film will deal with Lovelace’s claims that her abusive husband (played by Sarsgaard) coerced her into the profession.

Additionally, Demi Moore has had to back out of her role in the film. She was slated to cameo as Gloria Steinem, but THR reports that she was admitted to the hospital Monday night and has now dropped out of Lovelace. The impressive cast includes Juno Temple, Wes Bently, Sharon Stone, Adam Brody, Hank Azaria, Chris Noth, and possibly James Franco as Hugh Hefner. Lovelace is currently filming in Los Angeles.

Mark Webber and Chloe Sevigny to Star in PANAREA; GAME OF THRONES Star Lena Headey Joins Sci-Fi Thriller VIGILANDIA

by Adam Chitwood    Posted: January 24th, 2012 at 1:03 pm

We’ve got a couple more casting stories to share. First up, Mark Webber (Scott Pilgrim vs. The World) and Chloe Sevigny have been set to topline the “sexually-charged” pic Panarea. The film follows a young married couple with intimacy issues who find themselves vacationing on an exotic Italian island where their commitment will be tested and reaffirmed. The script was written by Adam Mansbach, who is the author of the hilariously wrong bestseller Go the Fuck to Sleep.

Adam Bhala Lough (Weapons) will direct the pic, and Jim Jarmusch is onboard as a producer. I’m a fan of Webber, and Mansbach’s involvement piques my interest, so it should be fun to see how this project turns out. Hit the jump for news concerning the sci-fi thriller Vigilandia.

Sundance 2011: Poster and Synopsis for ALL FLOWERS IN TIME Starring Chloë Sevigny

by Matt Goldberg    Posted: January 10th, 2011 at 10:13 am

We’ve been sent the poster for All Flowers in Time, the new film from Tarnation director Jonathan Caouette (Tarnation).  The film, which is playing at this year’s Sundance Film Festival, stars Caouette and Chloë Sevigny (Big Love).  Here’s the bizarre synopsis:

“I am not from this place” declares a French cowboy. An old toothless man asks, “Do you know why you’re here?”. These shape shifting personalities infect young children with an evil signal in the form of a Dutch TV show. The red eyed girls and boys believe they can now become other people and monsters much to their delight.

Hit the jump to check out the creepy poster.  The 2011 Sundance Film Festival runs from January 20th – 30th.

MR. NICE Trailer Starring Rhys Ifans, Chloe Sevigny, and David Thewlis

by Matt Goldberg    Posted: June 1st, 2010 at 12:50 pm

The UK trailer for the drug-dealer dramedy Mr. Nice has popped up online.  The film stars Rhys Ifans as real-life pusher, kingpin, and spy (among other professions) Howard Marks, who became one of Britain’s most wanted criminals.  The trailer doesn’t thrill me like I hoped it would.  It looks like British Blow, complete with standard 70s-era visuals and rise-fall narrative.  Only the spy stuff grabs my interest.  The synopsis is so over the place that it’s hard to pick up a better idea of the movie.  Still, Ifans is great and the cast also includes Chloe Sevigny, David Thewlis, and Crispin Glover.  Hopefully the performances combined with Marks’ incredible story will make for a solid film.

Hit the jump to check out the trailer.  Mr. Nice is slated to hit theaters in the UK this fall, but it currently has no distributor for a US release.

Amanda Seyfried to Exit BIG LOVE

by Brendan Bettinger    Posted: December 20th, 2009 at 8:12 am

January brings us the fourth season of HBO’s Big Love, but it may be the last to feature cast member Amanda Seyfried on a regular basis according to TV Guide. Seyfried plays the eldest of eight children of a polygamist family in suburban Utah, and will be written off the show in the eighth episode of the season.

The show’s creator, Will Scheffer, had this to say, “She’s been exploring her movie career for a couple of years now, and we’ve been giving her a lot of room to do that. I know having a commitment to a show for six months definitely cuts into her ability to pursue that career.” Just so there’s no confusion, Scheffer continues, “She’s moving away”. Hit the jump for what effect this may have on the show.

Three TIFF ’09 Films That Came Up Short – MY SON, MY SON WHAT HAVE YE DONE?, THE GOOD HEART, and HARRY BROWN

by Monika Bartyzel    Posted: September 20th, 2009 at 9:01 pm

As a movie fan, there are times that I wish I could say “once more, with feeling,” and watch films with interesting premises and paths suddenly replay with the feeling and intrigue that they’re sorely lacking – the missing ingredient that could make them thrive. It’s easy to disregard a film with a faulty premise and delivery, but it’s not so easy to stomach the films with promise not met, like “My Son, My Son, What Have Ye Done?,” “The Good Heart,” and “Harry Brown.”

Hit the jump for more on these three TIFF films.

Trailer for MR. NICE Starring Rhys Ifans, Chloe Sevigny, and David Thewlis – UPDATED

by Matt Goldberg    Posted: July 20th, 2009 at 1:19 pm

Okay, if you ignore the overused classic rock tunes and your knowledge that watching people on drugs pales in comparison to actually being on drugs, the trailer for “Mr. Nice” [via MySpace] actually looks like an interesting premise.  Despite running over three minutes in length, it airs everything so disjointed that you don’t feel like you’ve been shown the whole movie and you’re anxious to put it all together.  They’re trying to set it up in the vein of a film like “Confessions of a Dangerous Mind” where Rhys Ifans plays Howard Marks, a notorious drug dealer who says he worked with the CIA, MI6, the Mafia, and the IRA.  That’s a good vein to be in.

UPDATE: We have removed the trailer at the request of the producers.  We will bring you cleared material as soon as it is available.
