What if you could return to a time in your childhood and relive your life from that point knowing what you know now? That’s the fantasy at the core of Universal’s “Little,” released April 12, in which Regina Hall’s Jordan Sanders, a character overwhelmed by the pressures of adulthood, gets the chance to relive the life of her younger self, played by Marsai Martin in an oversize wig.
Writer-director Tina Gordon crafted the fluid look of the fantasy comedy in close collaboration with Dp Greg Gardiner and editor David Moritz. Gordon and Gardiner spent their weekends walking through sets and locations, discussing blocking and playing roles including Hall and Martin’s Sanders while acting out the scenes together.
“Greg played everyone in blocking,” says Gordon with a laugh. Among the scenes: a striptease with Luke James’ character, Trevor, and a separate dance atop a bar by Martin.

“This is an adventure.” That’s the last spoken line of The Life Aquatic with Steve Zissou, the fourth feature from everyone’s favourite Texan oddball, Wes Anderson. Released in 2004, three years after the highly acclaimed The Royal Tenenbaums, The Life Aquatic was easily Anderson’s highest-budget film up to that point, and it was met with indifference both critically and commercially. I’ve always found this unusual because I regard it not only as Anderson’s best film, but also the most quintessentially Andersonian.
Zissou (Bill Murray) himself is clearly modelled on the naval explorer and filmmaker Jacques Cousteau, right down to the red bobble hat. The film opens with the death of Steve’s lifelong friend, Esteban (Seymour Cassel), in the jaws of a jaguar shark.

Oscar® nominee Richard Lagravenese (“The Fisher King,”"P.S. I Love You”) directs the supernatural love story “Beautiful Creatures” from his adaptation of the first novel in the best-selling series by Kami Garcia and Margaret Stohl.
Ethan Wate (Alden Ehrenreich), 17, has had the same recurring dream for months. A mysterious young girl is waiting for him on a Civil War battlefield. Ethan desperately wants to be with her, but there is an unknown danger—and each time a lightning bolt cracks like a gunshot, killing Ethan before he ever reaches the girl.
The danger of this strange dream world, however, is preferable to Ethan’s waking existence in Gatlin, South Carolina, a small, conservative Southern town that hasn’t caught up to the 21st century, where nothing ever changes and nothing ever happens. Trapped at home with a father who has completely withdrawn since the sudden death of Ethan’s mother,...

Warner Bros. has release the first teaser for Alcon Entertainment's Beautiful Creatures. It's a supernatural love story, and even though I knew exactly what it was trying to do to me, the teaser managed to suck me in and make me curious to see it.
Without too much finger pointing, in short, it's really trying to set itself up as another Twilight-esque tale. There are young kids in school who fall for each other, but there's a bunch of weird supernatural stuff that tries to get in there way. Sounds familiar doesn't it? Even so, I somehow became intrigued by it. I can't say exactly what it is, but something about it feels a little deeper than how Twilight has handled things, and thus, may be worth a gander.

Watch the new teaser trailer for Alcon Entertainment’s Beautiful Creatures, based on the first novel in the best-selling series by Kami Garcia & Margaret Stohl. Oscar nominee Richard Lagravenese (“The Fisher King,” “P.S. I Love You”) directs the film from his screenplay adaptation. A hauntingly intense, supernatural love story set in the South, Beautiful Creatures is about two star-crossed teenage lovers: Ethan (Ehrenreich), a local boy, and a mysterious new girl, Lena (Englert), who uncover dark secrets about their respective families, their history and their town. Could it possibly be the next Twilight-type franchise for young adults?
The film, out February 13, 2013, stars Alden Ehrenreich (“Tetro”), newcomer Alice Englert, and Academy Award winners Jeremy Irons (“Reversal of Fortune”) and Emma Thompson (“Howard’s End,” “Sense and Sensibility”); Oscar® nominee Viola Davis (“The Help,” “Doubt”); and Emmy Rossum (TV’s “Shameless”).

Stellar times for Star Trek….a Writers Guild nomination, a Producers Guild nomination and now this! But where are those Inglorious Basterds among the editors? One of the most interesting noms among the Ace’s lists is in the Documentary category – This Is It. Almost all but forgotten, except for those full-page Fyc ads of the Jackson rehearsal documentary in Variety. I’d love to see it as the big surprise Best Picture nominee on nomination morning. No film has won the Academy Award for Best Picture without also having received an Ace editing nom since “Ordinary People” in 1981.
60th annual Ace Eddie Awards nominees are….
Feature film (dramatic):
Avatar, Stephen Rivkin, John Refua & James Cameron District 9, Julian Clarke The Hurt Locker, Bob Murawski & Chris Innis Star Trek, Maryann Brandon & Mary Jo Markey Up in the Air, Dana Glauberman
Feature film (comedy or musical):

As the nominations were unveiled Tuesday morning for the American Cinema Editors' 60th annual Ace Eddie Awards, this year's awards season is looking more and more like a Hollywood version of Comic-Con.
Just like the Art Directors Guild, the editors organization nominated "Avatar," "District 9" and "Star Trek."
Those three movies will compete for best edited dramatic feature film along with "The Hurt Locker" and "Up in the Air."
Two Meryl Streep vehicles -- "Julie & Julia" and "It's Complicated" -- were nominated in the best comedy or musical category along with "(500) Days of Summer," "The Hangover" and "A Serious Man."
For best animated film, the contenders are "Coraline," "Fantastic Mr. Fox" and "Up."
"This Is It," the Michael Jackson documentary, scored a slot in Ace's best documentary race alongside "The Cove" and "Food, Inc."
An honorary society of motion picture editors founded in 1950, Ace's noms usually point toward Oscar victory...
