Ubiquity: The 2008 Edition (Pt 2)
Published 3/6/2008 by NATHANIEL R at Film Experience Blog
Last year about this time we investigated a group of actors who might dominate 2007 , hard working SAG card holders with 3 or more movies arriving. Doing it again for 2008... (if you missed Part One ---which has been updated, click here ) This is part 2... Part 1 was lorded over by Cate Blanchett and the ruling spirit for Part 2 is sneaky Channing Tatum ( a TFE favorite ) who goes mosty AWOL this year after this month's Iraq drama Stop-Loss . So why is he mentioned? Well, he should have about 7...12...21 movies ready for release next year at the rate he's signing contracts. So, get used ...

The Queen's Peter Morgan Moves On to 'Hereafter'
Published 3/29/2008 by Eugene Novikov at Cinematical
Filed under: Horror, Thrillers, Awards, Deals, DreamworksPeter Morgan, screenwriter of The Queen, The Last King of Scotland and The Other Boleyn Girl, is fast becoming one of Hollywood's hottest commodities. Variety tells us that his latest, a supernatural thriller called Hereafter, has been sold to Dreamworks for seven figures. Morgan's prestige no doubt helped the sale, though Dreamworks may also have had a Pavlovian response to the fact that the screenplay is pitched as being "in the vein of ...

2008 is going to be very, very good for Frank Langella

Later this year, we'll see Frank Langella repeating his Tony Award-winning performance in Ron Howard's film version of Frost/Nixon (above). And in September, New York theatergoers will get a glimpse of him as Thomas Moore.

Trendspotting: Brownface, bags, polibiopics.
Published 6/5/2008 by Alison Willmore at IFC: Indie Eye
I remain on the lookout for an overview trend as convenient and analysis-friendly as last year's Summer of Threequels, but so far, not so much. Will "the season of overlong run-times" count? How about "the summer of our discontent"? Trend: Brownface "Outside of color-blind Shakespeare adaptations, cross-race casting has been one of Hollywood's obvious taboos for decades now -- a no-no so basic it didn't even merit discussion. No more: Enough Hollywood stars are enthusiastically applying bronzer in 2008, either for a quick gag or for a serious leading role, that we're ...

Get Ready for Period Movies
Published 6/20/2008 by Jane Boursaw at Film Gecko
No, not THAT kind of period…the kind where movies are set in all types of historical and cultural settings — everything from the 1780s to the 1960s. Will we be able to handle a bunch of them all at once? I guess the box office will tell that story. More after the jump… Here’s a rundown of period movies scheduled for release in 2008: Changeling, a 1920’s missing-child drama from Universal/Clint Eastwood (and Angelina Jolie pictured) Australia, a WWI epic from Fox/ Baz Luhrmann The Secret ...

Now that that's over with
Published 7/19/2008 by noreply@blogger.com (Robert) at Film Experience Blog
Whew! If you're as big a Batman (or Abba) enthusiast as I am, it probably feels like all of your energy has been put into anticipating this one week. You've probably been hyped up on Batman (or Abba) for quite some time now... maybe years. But there's a half-year full of movies left. So my question to you is, now that your system is drained of Batman (or Abba), what's the next movie you just can't wait to see? There's still plenty of summer left and it will be giving us another hit of X-Files, the buzzed-up Tropic Thunder, the strange Apatow/Gordon Green mash-up ...

Because he's not a hero. He's a silent guardian. A watchful protector. An Oscar contender.
Published 7/28/2008 at OH NO!!
Oscar honoring superheroes? It's not as far fetched as it sounds. When the initial awards buzz for The Dark Knight started it was entirely focused around the collective desire to memorialize Heath Ledger. Now, with the film becoming an indisputable phenomenon at the box office can the Best Picture shortlist be far behind? Assuming that the latest Batman film can or will be nominated for the movie industry's top honor might sound like fanboy raving but remember: I'm not a fanboy and I haven't been raving. I am however an Oscarologist. And I think it could and very well might happen. Here's ...

'Frost/Nixon' Lands a Proper Trailer
Published 8/23/2008 by William Goss at Cinematical
Filed under: Drama, Awards, Universal, Trailers and Clips Okay, so the Monsters vs. Aliens and My Life in Ruins trailers may have been leaked and subsequently pulled earlier this week, as was the case with certain awards contender Frost/Nixon, but now we can offer up the trailer straight-up, fully legit, by way of Yahoo! Movies. The incongruous song selections aside (honestly, though: going from "Baba O'Riley" for the sake of nostalgia to Clint Mansell's wondrous score from The Fountain for the sake ...

Join the Kevin Bacon Movie Club
Published 21 days ago by Colin Boyd at Get The Big Picture
Funny or Die has another great original video, this time featuring Kevin Bacon, who seems to have no problem poking a little fun at himself. Incidentally, this is the second time today I've seen Bacon, who co-stars in Frost/ Nixon. That's one hell of a movie, one of the best of the year, and Frank Langella is definitely going to get an Oscar nomination. But that's a story for another time - mid-December, in fact - so for now, sit back and find out how you can join the Kevin Bacon Movie ...

A Look Inside 'Frost/Nixon'
Published 19 days ago by Colin Boyd at Get The Big Picture
One of the relatively quiet Oscar hopefuls is Ron Howard's Frost/Nixon. Perhaps because it doesn't have huge stars and it's not an epic, people have looked past in favor of glitzier films. But I've seen Frost/Nixon, and I can assure you it belongs in the discussion. Based on Peter Morgan's stage play, Frost/Nixon is an account of the landmark interviews granted by former President Richard Nixon to British talk show host David Frost. Watch the real interviews on You Tube sometime; they're ...

Eastwood to Head to the 'Hereafter' for Spielberg
Published 17 days ago by Colin Boyd at Get The Big Picture
Now this is something I can get behind. Clint Eastwood is in talks to direct a supernatural thriller called Hereafter, written by Peter Morgan (The Queen, The Last King of Scotland, Frost/Nixon). Variety says details of the plot are all very hush-hush, though it is believed we're in Sixth Sense territory on this one. It will mark another bold directorial move for Eastwood, who could be 80 years old when the movie gets made because of his ...

Ron Howard Holding Out Hope for 'Arrested Development' Movie
Published 17 days ago by Colin Boyd at Get The Big Picture
The more I read about it, the more convinced I am that we will have an Arrested Development movie in the next couple of years. It gained steam earlier this week when Jeffrey Tambor said that he'd been contacted by the show's creator, Mitchell Hurwitz, just days before to discuss the project. But he's just one of the actors; they don't make the decisions in cases like this. But you know who is the decider? Ron Howard. Howard was an executive producer of the show as well as its ...

Frost/Nixon
Published 14 days ago by Gossip Central at Gossip Central
  August 8, 1974. Whoever was around remembers that day, the day Nixon resigned. But his resignation was not enough. People wanted to hear him say he had committed criminal acts as president. The very popular British talk show host David Frost wanted to capture that moment, and invited Nixon to tell his story in an interview and finally got him to talk over a four week period taped in 1977. That's the substance of the stage play “Frost/Nixon” by Peter Morton, and now a movie to open on December 5 with Michael Sheen and Frank Langella reprising their theater roles. “A Beautiful Mind” ...

Discuss: When Ratings Go Wrong
Published 13 days ago by William Goss at Cinematical
Filed under: Comedy, Drama, Independent, ExhibitionSo we've already torn the Motion Picture Association of America asunder for not displaying enough discipline with select film ratings, but what about the times that the MPAA maybe overdid it a bit with their judgment calls? Earlier this week, I watched Danny Boyle's Millions for the first time in a good while, and I'd noticed that it was only rated PG for "thematic elements, language, some peril and mild sensuality" after an appeal to the ratings board. It's a fitting rating for a film worthy of an ...

Ron Howard Shoots 'Angels & Demons' in Vatican City, Despite Ban
Published 6 days ago by Colin Boyd at Get The Big Picture
Oh, that deceptive Ron Howard. Perhaps he picked up this dirty trick doing research for Frost/Nixon, his exceptional new film that comes out in a week in some cities, two weeks in others. While he was making the Dan Brown Da Vinci Code prequel, Angels & Demons, Howard knew he would be banned from shooting in various locations in Vatican City. Turns out the Catholics aren't big fans of the idea that their religion is a fraud and that some within their ranks ...

Frost/Nixon
Published 6 days ago by The Reviewer at The Reviewer
Rated: R Running Time: 122 Minutes Year: 2008 Nudity: None One Sentence: It was like a trimmed down more dramatic version of the actual interview.  I was born in 1977, so Nixon to me is mostly a history lesson.  I understand what happened, I understand that people were upset, and that this was a big deal.  However my point of view on it is that of something that happened in the past, and while I might find what happened interesting, it will never have the feeling and power compared to those that lived through it.   Frost/Nixon is a ...
