MAD MEN Star Elisabeth Moss to Lead BBC Mini-Series TOP OF THE LAKE

by Ethan Anderton    Posted: November 3rd, 2011 at 12:48 pm

On the AMC series Mad Men, the work of Elisabeth Moss is one many fine points on the period drama, and now she’s taking her talents to another television outlet between her steady work as Peggy Olsen. Deadline has word that the actress is in final negotiations to lead a new six-hour mini-series from BBC 2 called Top of the Lake. Writer/director Jane Campion (who won an Oscar for her work on The Piano) is working with The King’s Speech producers Emile Sherman and Iain Canning to tell the story of Robin Griffin (Moss), a detective investigating the disappearance of a 12-year-old pregnant girl, who is the daughter of a local drug lord. Campion not only co-wrote the script with Gerald Lee, but she will also direct the mini-series as well. Right now it doesn’t have a network home in the United States, but Sundance Channel is apparently interested in picking it up. Either way, I’m sure we’ll see it here in the States sometime down the road, and certainly in contention for the Emmys when the time comes.

GREEN LANTERN: EMERALD KNIGHTS Blu-ray Review

by Dave Trumbore    Posted: June 11th, 2011 at 8:43 am

Fans of the Green Lantern franchise who can’t wait until Ryan Reynolds powers up in theaters might want to check out DC’s latest animated film, Green Lantern: Emerald Knights. Not only is Emerald Knights up to the same quality as previous animated DC releases, it embraces the mythos of Green Lantern to tell far more than a mere origin story. Emerald Knights possesses six stories all told: five tales from Green Lantern lore that are bookended by an over-arcing frame story. The main tale revolves around the Green Lantern Corps preparing for battle against Krona, an ancient enemy of the Corps’ progenitors, the Guardians of Oa. The five additional stories come across as fables that various Lanterns tell new recruit, Arisia, while they wait for Krona to make his move.

MAD MEN Season Four Blu-ray Review

by Andre Dellamorte    Posted: May 15th, 2011 at 8:00 am

Wither, Don Draper? For Season Four of the hit show Mad Men, Jon Hamm’s Draper and his new company Sterling Cooper Draper Pryce is holding on with one big client: Lucky Strikes. But that deal is tentative, Draper is bottoming out as a drunk, and his family is suffering from its divorce, with little Sally Beth Draper (Kiernan Shipka) acting out in more and more inappropriate ways. With all this drama it’s sad to think we won’t see where these characters end up for another year or so. Our review of Mad Men Season 4 on Blu-ray follows after the jump.

Trailer for Direct-to-DVD Animated Film GREEN LANTERN: EMERALD KNIGHTS

by Matt Goldberg    Posted: February 23rd, 2011 at 2:03 pm

A trailer has gone online for the direct-to-video animated film Green Lantern: Emerald Knights.  The marketing of this film is beautiful in how it confuses and frustrates fanboys.  The selling point is: “Nathan Fillion as Green Lantern!”  And immediately you respond, “Wait?  What!  But I thought Ryan Reynolds was playing Green Lantern!  Is Fillion going to finally get the big break he so richly deserves?  JESUS GOD WHAT IS HAPPENING?!”  Then in fine print you see (“Emerald Knights”…animated movie…direct-to-DVD) and the world goes back to making sense.

Green Lantern: Emerald Knights has six interlocking stories that focus on different members of the Green Lantern Corps.  The voice cast also includes Jason Isaacs (Harry Potter), Elisabeth Moss (Mad Men), Henry Rollins, and Roddy Piper.  Hit the jump to check out the trailer.  Green Lantern: Emerald Knights hits DVD and Blu-ray on June 7th, ten days before the live-action Green Lantern hits theaters.

New Set Photos from Walter Salles’ ON THE ROAD Starring Garrett Hedlund and Sam Riley

by Talia Soghomonian    Posted: November 18th, 2010 at 10:01 am

After a rough ride, On the Road is finally getting closer to completion. After the first set photos, new shots from director Walter Salles’ adaptation of Jack Kerouac’s seminal novel have been released, and appear to perfectly transcribe the poetic energy and black-and-white imagery that the story inevitably conjures up, raising the question whether the movie will also be in black-and-white.

Produced by Francis Ford Coppola, the film stars stars Garrett Hedlund (TRON: Legacy) and Sam Riley (Control) as Sal Paradise, the mystic Dean Moriarty and Sal Paradise embark on a road trip across North America in search of adventure and freedom.  The cast also boasts a long, all-star cast, including Kristen Stewart, Kirsten Dunst, Viggo Moretensen, Amy Adams, Steve Buscemi, Terrence Howard and Mad Men’s Elisabeth Moss. Hit the jump to see the photos and find out more about On the Road.

Casting Call: Four Join DARLING COMPANION; Stephen Root Lands EVERYBODY LOVES WHALES and RED STATE

by Jason Barr    Posted: September 23rd, 2010 at 7:42 am

We have two bits of casting news to bring you this morning.  First, Kevin Kline, Diane Keaton, Richard Jenkins, and Elisabeth Moss have all joined Darling Companion.  The film was co-written, along with his wife Meg, by four time Oscar-nominee Lawrence Kasdan.  Companion is meant to be the third installment in a trilogy which includes 1983′s The Big Chill and 1991′s Grand Canyon.  From Risky Business, the film “follows a woman (Keaton) who takes in a stray dog as a companion to fill the void left by her distracted husband (Kline), only to see him lose the mutt after a wedding at their vacation home in the Rockies. A search for the animal includes several guests and a mysterious young woman.”  The report fails to disclose exactly what Jenkins and Moss’ roles may entail thus we are to assume Jenkins will be one of “several guests” with Moss perhaps filling the role of “mysterious young woman.”  Production on Companion is scheduled to begin within the next week in Utah.

First Image of Kristen Stewart in Walter Salles’ ON THE ROAD; Steve Buscemi, Elisabeth Moss, Alice Braga, Terrence Howard to Co-Star

by Matt Goldberg    Posted: August 13th, 2010 at 9:20 am

An unofficial photo of Kristen Stewart as Marylou on the set of the long-in-development adaptation of Jack Kerouac’s On the Road has landed online. The film co-stars Garrett Hedlund as Dean Moriarty, Sam Riley as Sal Paradise, Kirsten Dunst as Camille, Amy Adams as Jane, and Viggo Mortensen as Old Bull Lee.

Filming began on August 4th, and we received a press release announcing that Steve Buscemi, Elisabeth Moss (Mad Men), Alice Braga (Predators), Tom Sturridge (Pirate Radio), Danny Morgan (the TV show Off the Hook), and Terrence Howard.  However, we don’t know which roles they’ll be playing.  I’d be able to provide an educated guess but I haven’t read the book yet.  It’s currently sitting in a pile of other classic works of literature that I keep by my bed to make me feel bad about myself.

Hit the jump to check out the image and read the press release.  On the Road is due out in 2011.

While Mad Men creator Matthew Weiner likes to keep everything secret until the night the show airs, with season 4 set to begin July 25th, AMC has released a number of images from the first episode.  So if you need a Mad Men fix without spoilers, hit the jump.  And if you haven’t yet seen this brilliant show, you’re missing out on something special.

Elisabeth Moss Talks MAD MEN Season 4 and GET HIM TO THE GREEK on the Red Carpet

by Steve 'Frosty' Weintraub    Posted: May 27th, 2010 at 8:41 am

The other night I covered the premiere of Get Him to the Greek in Hollywood and landed a bunch of interviews on the red carpet (Chris Mintz Plasse, Carla Gallo).  Another of the many people I spoke to was Elisabeth Moss.  In the film, Moss plays Jonah Hill’s girlfriend and she’s very funny in the role.  But if you’re a fan of AMC’s Mad Men, you already know how talented she is.  What might surprise you is she can get big laughs.

At any rate, during the red carpet interview we talked about how filming is going on Mad Men season 4 and what was her reaction to reading the first script.  Also, we talked about making Get Him to the Greek and what it was like to film a scene which I won’t spoil for you here…hit the jump to see what she had to say:

GET HIM TO THE GREEK – 8 Movie Clips and 9 Minutes of Behind the Scenes Footage

by Steve 'Frosty' Weintraub    Posted: May 16th, 2010 at 6:09 pm

With writer/director Nicholas Stoller’s Get Him to the Greek opening June 4, Universal has released 8 clips from the comedy and they’ve also given us almost 9 minutes of behind the scenes footage (B-Roll) from when they were shooting.  With the abundance of coverage we’ve given the film over the past month, hopefully you know a lot about the movie.  Here’s some links for those just joining the party: the red band and green band trailers,  my set report, a bunch of new images, on set interviews with Jonah Hill, writer/director Nicholas Stoller, and Russell Brand.

Anyway, I got to see the movie a few days ago but Universal has a very strict embargo – so I can’t tell you what I thought of the film.  I don’t even think they want me telling you I saw the movie.  So even if I laughed a lot while watching, I couldn’t tell you.  Sorry.  All I can do is offer you the clips and B-roll.  Hit the jump to check it out:

AMC Sets Return Date for MAD MEN – Plus Matt Weiner Says Only 3 More Seasons?

by Steve 'Frosty' Weintraub    Posted: April 20th, 2010 at 8:27 am

AMC has announced Mad Men will be returning with its fourth season on Sunday, July 25, at 10 p.m.  Since last year, fans have been wondering what the future holds for the workers of Sterling Cooper, as the third season finale really shook things up.  But while everyone is looking forward to the critically acclaimed show returning, the end of Mad Men might be in sight.  That’s because at the National Association of Broadcasters (NAB) convention in Las Vegas, Mad Men creator and writer, Matt Weiner announced he would not go past 6 seasons – should the series continue to be renewed.   More after the jump:

New Images from GET HIM TO THE GREEK

by Steve 'Frosty' Weintraub    Posted: April 13th, 2010 at 12:01 am

Universal has provided us with a bunch of new images from writer/director Nicholas Stoller’s Get Him to the Greek.  Starring Jonah Hill, Russell Brand, Elisabeth Moss, Rose Byrne, Colm Meaney and Sean Combs, the comedy gets released this June and I’m extremely confident we’re all going to love it.  How do I know this?  Well, I’ve seen the awesome red band and green band trailers, and I also got to do a set visit last year where I got to speak with the cast (here’s my interview with Jonah Hill) and writer/director Nicholas Stoller.  Everything I saw and learned on set tells me this is going to be a winner.

Hit the jump to check out all the images Universal has released.  Also, you might notice one image looks out of place.  That’s because one is the online reporters (including me) that got to do the set visit at the Greek Theater.  When we took the photo, we were on stage in front of hundreds of extras watching us.  It was very cool.

GET HIM TO THE GREEK Trailer, Poster and New Images – Starring Jonah Hill, Russell Brand, Sean Combs

by Steve 'Frosty' Weintraub    Posted: February 11th, 2010 at 4:24 pm

The first trailer for Get Him to the Greek has finally been released and if you were a fan of Forgetting Sarah Marshall, you’re going to want to see this.  That’s because Rock Star Aldous Snow (Russell Brand’s character in Sarah Marshall) is back and he’s got 72 hours to get from London to his comeback concert at the Greek Theater in Los Angeles. Escorting him is Jonah Hill, and as you might imagine…they get into a lot of trouble along the way.  Trust me, this thing looks awesome.

Written and directed by Nicholas Stoller (Sarah Marshall), the film also stars Elisabeth Moss, Rose Byrne, Colm Meaney and Sean Combs.  Hit the jump for a ton of new images, the poster, and the just released trailer:

Universal Releases Synopses for GREEN ZONE, MACGRUBER, UNTITLED ROBIN HOOD ADVENTURE, GET HIM TO THE GREEK, YOUR HIGHNESS

by Steve 'Frosty' Weintraub    Posted: October 12th, 2009 at 6:20 pm

Universal Studios has released synopses  for some of their major 2010 films and the two that are especially worth reading are “MacGruber” and Ridley Scott’s “Untitled Robin Hood Adventure”. While it might surprise you to hear this, a few people have told me “MacGruber” is going to shock everyone next year as it’s a super-violent, hard-R movie. Also, I’ve heard there are many lines that we’re all going to quote. Did I mention Val Kilmer plays the villain and his name is Dieter Von Cunth? I know, I know–I am just as shocked to report SNL’s “MacGruber” might be a great movie.

As for Ridley Scott’s “Untitled Robin Hood Adventure”, this synopsis is the first real story details I’m hearing about the plot. Since I haven’t watched every version of “Robin Hood”, I’ll let the synopses  do the talking, but I’m pretty sure we’re going to get a better version than Kevin Costner’s “Prince of Thieves”.  Hit the jump for not only “MacGruber” and “Untitled Robin Hood Adventure”, but “Green Zone” starring Matt Damon, “Get Him to the Greek” starring Russell Brand and Jonah Hill, and “Your Highness” starring Danny McBride, James Franco, and Natalie Portman.
