by Matt Goldberg    Posted: October 7th, 2010 at 12:09 pm

We’re always running tons of interviews here at Collider, but this past week has been especially crazy.  When you pair all the interviews Steve did during his visit to the sets of The Thing and Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows, coupled with the number of interviews we run on a daily basis, there’s probably some stuff you may have missed.  With this in mind, we’ve created a handy catch-all recap article that contains links to every interview we’ve posted over the last week.  Here’s some of them, but hit the jump for the rest:

Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows On Set Interviews

• Director David Yates
• Daniel Radcliffe
• Rupert Grint
• Warwick Davis

The Thing On Set Interviews

• Director Matthijs van Heijningen
• Mary Elizabeth Winstead
• Joel Edgerton
• Adewale Akinnuoye-Agbaje

Edward Norton Exclusive Video Interview STONE

by Bill Graham    Posted: October 6th, 2010 at 2:06 pm

I’ll admit to being nervous when I actually got the opportunity to interview Edward Norton during Fantastic Fest.  Not because of giddy joy (there was some of that as I am a fan of his work), but because he can come off as reserved and somewhat intimidating in his serious attitude.  However, the Norton I interviewed for the upcoming film Stone (read my review here) was relaxed and genial which resulted in a nice chat.  See the results after the jump as we talk cornrows, his gravitation towards films with ambiguity, and his adoration of Austin.  John Curran’s Stone hits theaters this weekend and stars Robert De Niro, Milla Jovovich, and Edward Norton.

Fantastic Fest 2010: STONE Review

by Bill Graham    Posted: September 30th, 2010 at 10:10 am

The relationship between a parole officer and an inmate is one with constant tension between what is and isn’t true. As John Curran’s Stone observes, how much truth is shared, if any, may never be known as the human drive to simply survive can create a powerful situation that is so believable, it might fool the very people meant to read through all the false fronts that are thrown their way. Religion, deception, reformation, seduction, and the power of lies are all explored as Stone (Edward Norton) weaves his way through our hearts and minds, leaving plenty of questions in the wake of the remarkable ending. Join me after the break for the full review.

Posters for STONE and RESIDENT EVIL: AFTERLIFE

by Matt Goldberg    Posted: August 23rd, 2010 at 7:44 am

Would you like to see a couple posters for upcoming Milla Jovovich movies?  Of course you would.  The first poster is for Stone and the floating heads of stars Robert De Niro, Edward Norton, and Milla Jovovich are trapped inside the title.  The tagline reads: “Some people tell lies.  Others live them.”  And what happens when you live a lie?  You become encased in letters, apparently.

The other poster for is for Resident Evil: Afterlife, and oddly, Jovovich is nowhere to be found.  Instead, it shows off Shawn Roberts as baddie Albert Wesker who has captured co-stars Wentworth Miller and Ali Larter inside his Ray-Bans.   Hit the jump to check out both posters.  Stone opens on October 8th and Resident Evil: Afterlife opens in 3D on September 10th.

Line-Up for 2010 Toronto International Film Festival Announced; Films Include NEVER LET ME GO, THE CONSPIRATOR, and BLACK SWAN

by Matt Goldberg    Posted: July 27th, 2010 at 10:09 am

Every year, the Toronto International Film Festival showcases some of the year’s most exciting and must-see movies, and 2010 isn’t going to be any different.  Fifty films showing at this year’s festival have been announced and I’m (unsurprisingly) bitter-as-hell that I’m not going to be there.  Films making their various premieres (World, North American, etc.) include Darren Aronofsky’s Black Swan, Robert Redford’s The Conspirator, Mark Romanek’s Never Let Me Go (image above), and Ben Affleck’s The Town.  While the line-up includes plenty of films that have already premiered at other festivals (including Sylvain Chomet’s The Illusionist, Alejandro González Iñárritu’s Biutiful, Julian Schnabel’s Miral, and Stephen Frears’ Tamara Drewe), it will be the first time they’ll be showing up on our quaint little 9.5 million square mile-continent.

Hit the jump for a list of all 50 films.  The 2010 Toronto International Film Festival will run from September 9^th-19^th.

Promo Posters for STONE Starring Robert De Niro and Edward Norton, and for THE MECHANIC Starring Jason Statham

by Matt Goldberg    Posted: September 27th, 2009 at 10:16 pm

Collider reader “Max” has just sent along two promo posters for the upcoming films “Stone” starring Robert De Niro and Edward Norton and for “The Mechanic” starring Jason Statham.  Neither of these posters is official and you’ll probably never see them in your theater’s lobby.  These are made to influence an individual or a specific group rather than for public consumption.  But even though “Stone” is currently in post-production and “The Mechanic” is only in pre-production, hit the jump and consume away at these posters as well as brief plot synopses.

John Curran Will STONE Milla Jovovich

by Matt Goldberg    Posted: May 18th, 2009 at 9:23 pm

According to The Hollywood Reporter, Milla Jovovich has signed on to co-star with Edward Norton and Robert DeNiro in John Curran’s upcoming film “Stone” which THR bills as a “psychological thriller”.  For once I’d like to an anthropological thriller or a philosophical thriller.  Maybe even a sociological thriller (although I guess you could argue that zombie movies fall into that category).  Must we contain ourselves to fucking over only one person’s mind?

Jovovich will play the wife of a convicted arsonist (Norton). Desperately looking to be paroled, Norton has Jovovich engage in a dangerous affair with his parole officer (De Niro), entrapping him in a series of deadly psychological games.  That actually sounds very interesting and could be a rich and rewarding role for Jovovich.  It would be nice to see her in a movie that doesn’t contain the words “Resident” or “Evil” in the title.

Filming is set to begin this month in Michigan which will already fuck with your mind.  But back to the movie, I wonder if this is like some great reverse of Ulu Grosbard’s “Straight Time”.  That would be neat.
