Clint Eastwood’s Hereafter Takes on Death, Adds High Tension Star

10 November 2009 2:36 PM, PST | FilmSchoolRejects.com | See recent FilmSchoolRejects news »

Clint Eastwood is less than a month from releasing his next film, Invictus, which stars Matt Damon and Morgan Freeman in a story about Nelson Mandela and the South African rugby team. But as we found out last year when Eastwood unleashed Changeling and Gran Torino, he's not satisfied with just one movie per year. He has also begun working on his next film, Hereafter. This new project will also star Matt Damon and will take on the subject of death, and how it affects different people in different ways. According to a report last night from Variety, it will also now star High Tension heroine Cecile de France. As for the exact story, I will leave that to a report from The Guardian: The film tells three parallel stories that eventually intersect – about a French TV journalist, played by Cecile de France, who suffers a near-death experience during the Asian tsunami of 2004; a drug-addicted English single »

High Tension’s Cecile de France Joins Eastwood’s Hereafter

10 November 2009 11:32 AM, PST | Slash Film | See recent Slash Film news »

Clint Eastwood works fast. He had two films out last year, Changeling and Gran Torino. He's got Invictus opening next month, but is already shooting his next picture, called Hereafter. That one, written by Peter Morgan, is one we haven't reported on too much yet, but features Matt Damon in a story of "of three people who are touched by death in different ways." We'd heard but hadn't reported that Cecile de France, the violent lead from High Tension, would be part of the film as well. Now that's confirmed by the trades, so I'm using the report as an excuse to bring us all up to date on the film. Variety has the casting report. The Playlist had actually pegged that last month, along with the casting of Thierry Neuvic (Tell No One) and Mylène Jampanoï for the French part of the production. The story has three components, two »

Belgian Actress De France Joins Damon In Hereafter

10 November 2009 7:52 AM, PST | cinemablend.com | See recent Cinema Blend news »

Hereafter, the next film from Clint Eastwood, is starting to sound like one of those Babel/Crash-style movies with threaded narratives around the same theme. When it was announced a few weeks ago that Matt Damon would star, we knew so little about the film that we suggested it might be about Damon dying and being reincarnated as a basketball-playing schnauzer. Now, thank God, we've got a few more details. Variety is reporting that Cecile de France, a Belgian actress who will forever after be assumed to be French, will star alongside Damon as a journalist who has a near-death experience. The film, they explain, is about three people who are "touched by death in different ways." Before you start worrying about this being a feature-length Touched By An Angel episode, remember that the screenplay is written by Peter Morgan, who turns in solid things like The Queen and Frost »

DeFrance and Damon Join Clint Eastwood’s ‘Hereafter’

10 November 2009 5:39 AM, PST | Atomic Popcorn | See recent Atomic Popcorn news »

The Informant himself, Matt Damon, will be joining forces with Belgian actress Cecile De France to star in director Clint Eastwood’s “supernatural drama” titled Hereafter.

Written by Peter Morgan (Frost/Nixon, Bond 23), Hereafter centers around “three people who are touched by death in different ways. De France, whose credits include High Tension and Russian Dolls, will portray a French journalist who has a near-death experience.”

The film began production last month, and will continue to film all across the world in  Paris, London, San Francisco and Hawaii. Don’t expect to see Hereafter come to light until December of next year.

Personally, I’m excited to see Eastwood branch out from the real world a bit and try his hand at something new. Ideally, though, he’d direct himself in a remake of Every Which Way But Loose. That would be brilliant.

6 November 2009 9:05 PM, PST | CinemaSpy | See recent CinemaSpy news »

Last week, at the stage door of his Broadway plan, "A Steady Rain", Daniel Craig first revealed to fans that shooting on the 23rd James Bond film would kick off in late 2010.

Now, speaking recently on Regis & Kelly, Craig confirmed that filming will start at the end of 2010, with a 2011 release date being scheduled.

"The plan is to start shooting the next one at the end of next year," Craig said on Regis & Kelly, "so it'll be ready for 2011. We've got a lot of work to do."

Bond 23 is being written by returning Bond scribes Neal Purvis and Robert Wade, and The Queen and Frost/Nixon writer Peter Morgan. David Arnold will compose the score for this, his sixth 007 movie.

Producers Barbara Broccoli and Michael G. Wilson will, of course, return as producers, but have yet to determine a director.

Movie Review: The Damned United

1 November 2009 8:31 AM, PST | The Movie Fanatic | See recent The Movie Fanatic news »

Starring: Michael Sheen, Jim Broadbent, Timothy Spall, Colm Meany, Giles Alderson

Director: Tom Hooper

Release Date: October 29, 2009

Running Time: 97 miin

MPAA Rating: R

Distributor: BBC Films

"The Damned United" is a "based on a true life story about sports", in fact a great one, but director Tom Hooper finds it necessary to fulfill the film with off-field drama and tension, relying very little on the actual game of soccer. The lack of on-field action isn't missed at all because there is a hypnotizing portrait of hatred being presented, and that is the film's main priority. Mr. Hooper perceives a myriad of vanities within a single human being which ultimately lead him being reduced to a man without a moral center, establishing himself solely within his own mad ambitions. This represents a tale Shakespeare or the Greeks would examine, where one man is so consumed by his own »

New Bond Film to Shoot Next Year?

27 October 2009 10:58 AM, PDT | Manny the Movie Guy | See recent Manny the Movie Guy news »

If we are to believe the current James Bond, Daniel Craig, then the 23rd 007 film will start shooting late next year.

Craig gave that timeline answer to a fan asking him about production of the next Bond film while exiting the stage door for "A Steady Rain," the Broadway play he's starring with Hugh Jackman.

But MGM had no comment.

This is what we know -- Peter Morgan, Neal Purvis, and Robert Wade are writing the script for the new Bond film. Purvis and Wade both worked on "Quantum of Solace" and "Casino Royale."

Morgan, is the brilliant scriptwriter behind "The Queen" and "Frost/Nixon."

There's no director attached to the film yet, so stay tuned... »
