Saïd Taghmaoui: a role in Conan

Tue, 16 Mar 2010 16:26:00 +0000

Addition of last minute to the casting of Conan, with l' arrival of l' French actor. The Hollywood Reporter gives last a progress report on the distribution of Conan de Marcus Nispel. This one should not move d' finally any more; here the beginning of turning in end of the week in Bulgaria. C' is thus in extremis that comes from s' to add an unexpected name: Saïd Taghmaoui. The French, who finds more and more his place in Hollywood (it was still l' last year in G.I Joe or the preceding season of Lost) will be the d' chief there; a band of robbers, indéfectible friend of Conan after this one saved the life to him. This character would be an equivalent of that which Gerry Lopez (the role of Subotai) held, in Conan of John Milius. One wishes in Taghmaoui not to know the fate of Lopez, almost reported missing since his service at the sides d' Arnold Schwarzenegger. Ron Perlman: it replaces Mickey Rourke on Conan Stephen Lang: malicious d' Misadventure with that of Conan Rachel Nichols: the future partner of Conan? Conan the Barbarian: Jason Momoa would have gained the role!

David Fincher: a biopic on a champion d' failures disturbed in preparation

Tue, 16 Mar 2010 15:41:00 +0000

The realizer of Seven and Benjamin Button fills his diary. With Pawn Sacrifice, a biopic of Bobby Fischer, the famous player d' failures. Whereas its L' film; Strange story of Benjamin Button was a trick enough breakage-figure, David Fincher succeeded in making a success of them as well criticizes as public. And here it is of return: very little time after having announced qu' he will collaborate in the reboot d' Heavy Metal, then qu' it will carry out the remake of the Milennium trilogy, here are qu' he adds Pawn Sacrifice to his projects, d' after Variety. It s' will act of the biography of Bobby Fischer, l' one of the champions d' the most known and discussed failures. Fischer, born in 1943, became Grand Master d' failures at 15 years and half, gained the championship d' failures American of 1964 with 11 victories for zero defeats (what n' made, neither front forever, nor afterwards), and the championship of the world vis-a-vis Russian Boris Spassky in 1972 gained. This combat, widely diffused in the United States like symbol of the Cold war, made of Fischer a celebrity. However, as from 1975, it started to lose the head, with becoming more and more contained, s' to engage in turbid financial montages, with idolâtrer Adolf Hitler, and, worse of all of l' another side of l' The Atlantic, to make anti-American statements. Exiled of the United States for illegal financial affairs, he declared himself very delighted by the attacks of the September 11 and finishes his days in 2008 in Iceland, where he is buried. In the search of Bobby Fischer, film of Steven Zaillan carried out in 1993, showed how this figure haunted still certain spirits in the world of the failures but also in the American general culture. In short, a subject in solid gold, where l' one can make pass much from things on the madness, the policy, the competition, the sport, l' money? and, thanks to the visual talent of David Fincher, that can even be imposing. And n' let us not forget The Social Network, its film on the creation of Facebook, which could perhaps be presented to the Cannes festival 2010.

Tue, 16 Mar 2010 14:14:00 +0000

Michel Gondry intends to carry out The We and I, a new social comedy in the vein of Is sympas, rewinds, as of qu' he will have finished some with The Green Hornet. Person interviewed yesterday by The Playlist, then qu' it came to speak about The Green Hornet to the festival d' Austin, the SXSW, Michel Gondry s' is expressed about d' a project of film d' animation, qu' it intended to set up with his son, Paul Gondry. But this n' is not the only project in sight for the scenario writer. L' last year, it was to turn The We and the I, a social comedy in the vein of Are sympas rewind, qu' it had put between bracket while agreeing to carry out The Green Hornet. It would owe s' there to give very soon, as of qu' it will have finished the post production of film with Seth Rogen and Cameron Diaz. L' history? Does That relate to the effects of group, in the way in which a community changes when the group is dislocated (?) It s' d' will act; a social comedy, with children of Bronx in a bus. , he explained, specifying that the project should encourage the spectators once again to make their own films. He also spoke about Return off the ice kids, a film on banked-up beds which discover a water which makes hear music with that which drinks it. He wrote a first jet of scenario of it, before entrusting the remainder to a scenario writer with the name for l' moment not revealed. On the other hand, it should drop its project The Master off space and time, on which it was to find Jack Black. L' adaptation of the science-fiction novel of Rudy Rucker will undoubtedly not be born, following many problems during the development of film. But a thing is sure, Gondry returns to this qu' it can do best: films with the removed from rim scenarios! VIDEOS: Michel Gondry: its new clip, inspired of the precedents?

Tue, 16 Mar 2010 13:32:00 +0000

First poster of Predators, the remake with dreadlocks of Nimrod Antal. Ca is there, the Predators machine is launched! After a first teaser, unseen photos and minis making off (all that in one weekend!) the first poster of the remake of Nimrod Antal comes d' to appear on the fabric, it holds once again its promises. If aficionados of film of John Mc Tiernan s' were worried with l' idea to see traditional rebooté SF, and s' they had failed to release l' completely; business by learning that the substitute d' Arnold Schwarzenegger would be Adrien Brody (!), they could be again intrigued by the project following these enticing first vidéos. The monsters with dreadlocks are of return, and always so cruel! D' elsewhere, the first poster of film put all on the creature, or rather l' one of the creatures, since Nimrod Antal promises several Predators, of various species (the dogs predators, brrr). In fact, neither the name of the realizer (not very known), nor that of the actors (Brody, Laurence Fishburne, Topher Grace), are not visible on l' post. Only Predator, of profile, is proposed, with the title of film and a tag line red scarlet which makes cold in the back: Fear is reborn (the fear reappears).

Their goal will be of course to remain in life The survival will begin next on July 14.

EXCLUDED - Alice with the country from the wonders: interview of Tim Burton

Tue, 16 Mar 2010 02:51:00 +0000

One week before the exit of its film event, Alice with the country of the wonders, Premiere.fr met Tim Burton. Its Alice with the country of the wonders explodes the box American office; it comes d' to be decorated by France; he will be the president of the Cannes festival 2010: for a few weeks, Tim Burton has been the center of the planet cinema. There were thus some questions to pose to him. In particular on its last film and its actor Johnny Depp fetish. This history was told thousand times, even without having to carry the title d' Alice with the Country of the wonders. Why return there? Tim Burton: What me fascine at Alice, they are the iconic images generated by these two books and the force with which they impregnated the pop culture. J' in know probably more about Alice while having listened to groups or having visited expos qu' while having read Lewis Carroll. L' history in itself is very linear, it runs d' a terminal has on a terminal B without real narrative dynamics. C' is what always missed with the other versions filmed in my opinion: one sees more twisted characters there the ones than the others, which ravel under your eyes, without foundation to support them. Hold c' is odd, oh c' is strange, thin c' is curiously odd. The characters d' Alice are all eccentric, I wanted simply to give a context to their madness. It s' d' acts; an original screenplay inspired of Lewis Carroll, not d' an adaptation. A continuation? T.B. : Once again, the books are an amalgam d' stories and characters who cross arbitrarily. The goal was d' to use all the known reference marks (the White Queen, the rabbit, the cat of Cheshire) to invent a route which would be clean for us. Our Alice is 19 years old, an intermediate age where l' one feels at the same time young person and old. And it turns over in the magic kingdom of its childhood to make the sorting of these new emotions. D' does a general manner, your work always revisit? uvres existing. Why d' after you? T.B. : C' is interesting, I do not know? I must be, me also, the product of my education. Young person, I n' stays not connected literature but j' adored the films. I am definitively of this generation which grew with l' image and tests aujourd' today to include/understand this qu' she saw. To work with a material qu' one knows on the end of the fingers, which had such a strong impact on you, is another manner d' to open its imaginary and to let the ideas go back to surface. But this n' is not a choice conscious of my share. I m' assois not with an old specimen of TV Guides while thinking: ? Mm, here! ? Sanford and Son' , c' is what I looked at when j' stays small, I go l' to adapt out of film! ' Why 3D? And why this made visual halfway of the cartoon? T.B. : This n' is not as if nobody could make Alice with the country of the wonders before aujourd' today. It n' there does not have the good ones and bad manners d' to use technology with the cinema; it n' there has that the specific requirements of the film on which you work. One started by evoking various techniques before s' to stop on this mixture of catches of real sights and d' animation, of qu' kind; one uses the real features of the actors all while deforming them at will. Qu' is this I can say? When I close the eyes and that I think of Alice with the Country of the wonders, here what that resembles. Johnny Depp became an essential component of your cinema. A MUSE? T.B. : A piece of meat which I can model with my own way! And for a film where the actors play the comedy in the vacuum and must constantly call upon their imagination, you do not want a method acting, you want l' exubérance, you want l' impro. You want Johnny EPD.

Kick Ass 2: Mark Millar has super ideas

Tue, 16 Mar 2010 01:33:00 +0000

Small course d' scenaristic writing per Millar Mark, author of Kick-Ass, in French rooms next April. Festival SXSW (South by Southwest) takes place each spring in Austin, Texas, since 1987. Dedicated d' access with the music, the festival s' is widened in 1994 and accomodates from now on film previews (l' last year, Bomb disposal experts of Kathryn Bigelow and Moon de Duncan Jones had been projected there). Tremble, old Sundance!. L' edition 2010 accomodates films like Kick-Ass. Who was introduced by l' author of the original data base, Mark Millar (scenario writer of the data base Wanted, inter alia). With this occasion, the scenario writer, Scottish d' origin (all s' explain), stated to have full d' ideas for Kick Ass 2, if ever the first is a paperboard with the boxoffice. Concerning first film, Kick Ass (boot-the-buttocks) is the name of superman of Dave, a teenager who decides to fight the crime with his hood and his bludgeons, and which will fight against a true gangster with d' other supermen as tarts as him. In particular Big Daddy (Nicolas Cage), vigilant which raised his/her daughter Hit Girl to be fought with all the possible and unimaginable knives and with fire. And Red Mist, the son of the gangster, is trotted in the big car of sport tunée. Attention, spoiler: And for Kick Ass 2? Red Mist would be malicious choice for the continuation, but it will not be sufficient with him all alone. Mark Millar wants to introduce new malicious. For does its name, Mark Millar hesitate between The Motherfucker (the son of? ) or Cunt (Anglo-Saxon generic insult). Nothing for that, one hopes that Kick-Ass will be a paperboard. If not, one will always be able défouler with first film of Mark Millar as a realizer, a film of superman, of course; and its next data base, Nemesis, where l' single superman of the Earth sear super-malicious whose true name was put at the biddings on ebay, Nemesis having the name of the strongest encherissor. What Millar already did for Kick-Ass: Dave Lizewski (the true name of the hero) really exists. Kick-Ass is carried out by Matthew Vaughn, and leaves to France on April 21.

Joaquin Phoenix: return to the cinema

Tue, 16 Mar 2010 00:50:00 +0000

You had been well said that the retirement of Joaquin Phoenix was a hoax. It takes again the way of turnings. The retirement of Joaquin Phoenix will have lasted less than two years. At the exit of Two Lovers, l' actor had astounded by announcing qu' he stopped his career to become rappor. One l' , hirsute had seen since and bearded, in rather pathetic services of singer. The rumour quickly ran that all this n' was qu' a hoax organized for a documentary forgery on Phoenix, signed Casey Affleck. And then more nothing since a few months. Jusqu' with the publication in Mumbai Mirror of last Friday d' an interview of Resul Pookutty, one of the sound engineers rewarded by a Oscar for their work on Slumdog Millionaire, where he affirms that l' actor works on The beautiful cigar girl, an adaptation d' a novel in which Edgar Allan Poe, in its last days, tries to solve the mystery around discovered corpse mutilated d' a saleswoman of cigars. But especially that Phoenix would play l' there; writer. In reality, this authentic disappearance had inspired in Poe its news the mystery of Marie Roget. L' agent of Phoenix however, very mollement, contradicted this declaration. VIDEO - When Miley Cyrus learns in Joaquin Phoenix and Liv Tyler to serve d' Internet!

VIDEO - Michel Gondry: it launches out in l' animation with his/her son, Paul

Tue, 16 Mar 2010 00:06:00 +0000

Michel Gondry specified which would be its role in Megalomania, a project of film d' animation qu' he intends to set up with his son, Paul. Michel Gondry benefitted from the festival d' Austin, the SXSW, to speak d' a project of long time: Megalomania. For l' moment, he seeks a financing, but the things start to be set up. DaN Clowes, the creator of the data base Ghost World, in wrote the scenario, on ideas of Paul Gondry, the son of the realizer. It will concern three kids discovering how to create l' energy thanks to the hair. They shave everyone then. The rich person carry wigs, and the poor remain bald people. The leader of the planet, which is vaguely inspired by my son, is a horrible dictator, explained Michel with The Playlist, before specifying that the casting of voice started to resemble something. He is even very interesting, Steve Buscemi, Seth Rogen (which have just turned in The Green Horne T for the realizer) and Juliette Lewis having agreed to double the characters of Megalomania. But the scenario writer made a point of specifying that the film would be before all that of his/her son, who has his own style, as one can note it in the clip above, qu' he realized for the group The Willoz and which recalls The Wall, of Pink floyd. With a father recognized for his wild imagination and of the promising beginnings in so much qu' organizer, Paul Gondry left well to offer to us, with Megalomania, a film out of the commun run.
