James Caan

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.

Trailer for HENRY’S CRIME Starring Keanu Reeves

by Matt Goldberg    Posted: March 16th, 2011 at 2:57 pm

Moving Pictures has released a trailer for Henry’s Crime, a heist comedy starring Keanu Reeves, Vera Farmiga, and James Caan.  While it’s basically the same trailer that leaked online back in January, we never posted it and now it’s in higher quality.

The story centers on a nice guy (Reeves) who goes to jail for a bank robbery he didn’t commit.  Now released from prison, he enlists his old cellmate (Caan) to rob the bank for real this time.  The film looks cute and it’s nice to see Reeves in an intentional comedy.  Hit the jump to check out the trailer and click here for Steve’s interview with Reeves from when the film played back at the Toronto Film Festival.  Henry’s Crime opens April 8th.

ELF: ULTIMATE COLLECTOR’S EDITION Blu-ray Review

by Jeff Ames    Posted: December 13th, 2010 at 11:50 am

There are literally hundreds of Christmas films lingering on the shelves of video stores around the world. Most of them are junk – forgettable slapstick fare involving goofy people doing goofy things in the name of goofiness – yet every now and again one jumps out and has enough allure to end up a perennial holiday favorite (check out Collider’s list of Top 10 Christmas flicks if you haven’t already).

Such is the case with Jon Favreau’s 2003 Elf, an otherwise forgettable film if not for Will Ferrell’s sugar-high, candy coated, even inspired performance. The former SNL-star does his damndest to ensure an enjoyable comedy experience, yet obtrudes the film in a way that makes it impossible to enjoy unless you find his overtly rambunctious humor amusing. Personally, I think the man is a god – Anchorman: The Legend of Ron Burgundy (2004) remains one of the great comedies – capable of squeezing hilarity from even the most rudimentary of circumstances, and so my opinion is a biased one. Still, I can see how Ferrell’s brand of humor may turn off some; I understand why people get annoyed when he strips naked (far too often) and screams obscenities with high pitched fury. But you have to admit, the man takes chances – sometimes his method works, sometimes it doesn’t.  Continued after the jump:

Keanu Reeves Exclusive Interview HENRY’S CRIME

by Steve 'Frosty' Weintraub    Posted: September 20th, 2010 at 12:26 am

At this year’s Toronto International Film Festival, I was able to land an exclusive interview with Keanu Reeves for his movie Henry’s Crime.  Premiering at the festival, Henry’s Crime stars Reeves, James Caan, and Vera Farmiga.  The film was directed by Malcolm Venville and it’s about an aimless guy who ends up serving time for a bank robbery he didn’t commit. After he gets out, he decides to rob the bank for real.  Things get complicated when he falls for a girl.

While you normally associate Reeves with big budget Hollywood blockbusters, you might be surprised to learn Henry’s Crime is a true indie as they don’t yet have distribution and Reeves was instrumental in getting the film made.

During the interview, Reeves talked about why he wanted to make Henry’s Crime, casting, acting techniques, upcoming projects, and a lot more.  If you’re a fan of Reeves, I think you’ll like the interview as I tried to ask him some questions I’ve never heard him answer.  Read or listen to what he had to say after the jump:

Trailer for MIDDLE MEN Starring Luke Wilson and Giovanni Ribisil

by Jackson Cresswell    Posted: June 16th, 2010 at 11:38 am

If you’re reading this right now, you’re probably on the internet.  If you’re on the internet you’re probably aware of the vast amount of porn that’s on the internet.  Writer/director George Gallo’s Middle Men tells the based on a true story of how the internet went from something that–in the words of Jack Harris (Luke Wilson)–“sucked” to being a place filled with naked people.  In less than 2 and a half minutes, the trailer introduces a plethora of intriguing characters, a rags to riches montage, and a Notorious B.I.G. song.  It’s a good trailer is what I’m saying.

The film co-stars Giovanni Ribisi, Terry Crews, Gabriel Macht, and James Caan.  Hit the jump to see the trailer and read the synopsis.

CLOUDY WITH A CHANCE OF MEATBALLS Blu-ray Review

by Andre Dellamorte    Posted: February 3rd, 2010 at 6:20 am

Pixar has so long been the benchmark for quality re: computer generated animation, that when people come close it’s easy to laud. Especially after all those terrible DreamWorks films. Kung Fu Panda was an obvious step up for DreamWorks Animation, and Cloudy with a Chance of Meatballs suggests that Pixar doesn’t have own the CGI playground. Bill Hader stars as Flint Lockwood, an inventor who creates a machine that turns the town’s weather into food. Anna Farris plays Sam Sparks, the newscaster who becomes his love interest. My review of Cloudy with a Chance of Meatballs on the Blu-ray after the jump.

16 Movie Clips from NEW YORK, I LOVE YOU (Almost 16 Minutes of Footage)

by Steve 'Frosty' Weintraub    Posted: September 25th, 2009 at 12:58 pm

With the short film anthology “New York, I Love You” (a sort of sequel to “Paris, je t’aime”) set for release October 16^th, Vivendi Entertainment has released a ton of clips and I’ve posted all of them after the jump. While most film’s get four to eight clips released for promotional purposes, due to how large the cast is and how each person needs a clip when promoting the movie on a talk show, the studio has released a whopping 16 clips and it’s about sixteen minutes of the movie. So if you’ve been waiting for the film, you can see a lot of it right now. If you’re not familiar with “New York, I Love You”, the film’s got a huge cast and eleven directors telling stories about New York City and love. Take a look:

NEW YORK, I LOVE YOU Trailer

by Steve 'Frosty' Weintraub    Posted: August 7th, 2009 at 11:50 pm

The first trailer for Vivendi Entertainment’s “New York, I Love You” has been released. This is the film that’s like “Paris, je t’aime”, but while that one had no connective tissue, somehow “New York, I Love You” ties most or all of the short films together.

While a feature film made up of a lot of short films might not appeal to all of you, the cast is ridiculous and it’s something I can’t wait to see. If you’re curious, watch the trailer after the jump. I’ve also included all the director’s involved and the full cast:

First Poster for NEW YORK, I LOVE YOU

by Steve 'Frosty' Weintraub    Posted: July 28th, 2009 at 10:44 am

The first poster has been released for “New York, I Love You”. This is the anthology film that features many short films about love in the city that never sleeps. While many of you might not be excited about a feature film that’s made up of only shorts, take a look at this cast:

Bradley Cooper, Justin Bartha, Andy Garcia, Hayden Christensen, Rachel Bilson, Natalie Portman, Irrfan Khan, Emilie Ohana, Orlando Bloom, Christina Ricci, Maggie Q, Ethan Hawke, Anton Yelchin, James Caan, Olivia Thirlby, Blake Lively, Drea De Matteo, Julie Christie, John Hurt, Shia LaBeouf, Ugur Yucel, Taylor Geare, Carlos Acosta, Jacinda Barrett, Shu Qi, Burt Young, Chris Cooper, Robin Wright Penn, Eva Amurri, Eli Wallach, and Cloris Leachman

I think you just got interested. Anyway, after the jump is the poster, the synopsis, and all the directors who contributed to the project. “New York, I Love You” gets released October 16^th.
