Exclusive: The Gotham Group has partnered with MakeSay to produce a film adaptation of Michael Leinbach and Jonathan Ward’s book, Bringing Columbia Home: The Untold Story of a Lost Space Shuttle and Her Crew.
The book and upcoming film are said to tell “the definitive inside story” of the Space Shuttle Columbia disaster of 2003. They share the deeply personal stories that emerged in the aftermath of tragedy, as NASA employees looked for lost colleagues and searchers. These employees brought people and communities together to help bring home the remains of the crew and nearly 40 percent of the shuttle, an effort that was instrumental in piecing together what went wrong, so that the shuttle program could retool and ultimately return to flight. Their efforts would become the largest ground search operation in U.S. history.

Aaron Carter has re-entered rehab one week after he left the treatment facility.
The “I Want Candy” singer left rehab earlier this month to attend to “legal and personal matters” that “required his immediate and in-person attention,” his publicist Steve Honig said on Oct. 6. Now, it seems, those matters have been resolved.
“Aaron has taken care of the legal and financial matters that required his attention and returned to the wellness facility to complete his program,” Honig told People on Saturday. The 29-year-old entered the facility on Saturday evening, his rep confirmed.

The 29-year-old singer sat down for a tearful interview with Entertainment Tonight on Tuesday to discuss his arrest and refusal to undergo a breathalyzer and drug test to determine whether or not he was under the influence. He was found in possession of less than one ounce of marijuana and drug-related objects, according to a report obtained by People.

Georgia authorities are refuting Aaron Carter‘s claims about the circumstances surrounding his weekend DUI, including that the arresting officers used “aggression.”
Capt. Floyd Canup of the Habersham County Sheriff’s Office in Georgia told People that “the incident report reads that was cooperative with the deputies and there was no incident between him and the deputies during arrest.”
However, Canup said that Carter’s girlfriend, Madison Parker – who was in the car at the time – failed to follow deputies’ commands and was arrested for obstruction of law enforcement officers, as well as possession of drug-related objects and possession of marijuana.

We have noticed recently with seemingly endless proliferation of film fests here and worldwide how many of them hew to very specific business and content areas for their films and, obviously, audiences. This is a good example of this tendency.
Recent films about architecture and design and panel discussions on urban design, restoration and more are part of L.A.'s first Architecture & Design Film Festival, which began Wednesday (March 12-16).
The photo is a still from Telos: The Fantastic World of Eugene Tssui, one of 30 films screening during this week's Architecture & Design Film Festival.
The Los Angeles edition of the Architecture & Design Film Festival kicks off its five-day salute to art, architecture, design, fashion and urban planning Wednesday with showings of If You Build It, Design Is One: Massimo & Leila Vignelli and 16 Acres.
The L.A. film festival, running through Sunday, will feature 30 recent feature-length and short films from around the world. "There is something for everyone who likes design at the festival," said the festival's founder and director, architect Kyle Bergman.
The films will screen at the Los Angeles Theatre Center, 514 S. Spring St.
Several documentaries in the series will focus on designs specific to California, including The Oyler House, a film about the Lone Pine retreat designed by Richard Neutra; Coast Modern, a look at West Coast Modernist architecture; and Telos: The Fantastic World of Eugene Tssui, making its world premiere.
Director Kyung Lee said she hoped her documentary on Tssui, considered by some to be an eccentric nature-based architect, would challenge viewers' perception of what architecture should be.
"So many people have opinions about architecture and what they like and what they don't like," she said. "I'd like people to come and see for themselves. Maybe it's not practical, but we should be able to extend our idea of architecture."
The festival also will feature question-and-answer sessions with the filmmakers, including Kyung Lee and Eugene Tssui (Telos: The Fantastic World of Eugene Tssui), Aimee Madsen (Paolo Soleri: Beyond Form) and Doug Pray (Levitated Mass), as well as five hourlong panel discussions.
Thursday
Clifford Pearson, deputy editor of Architectural Record, will moderate "Remaking the City," a panel on population, scale, urban design and Danish architect and urban planner Jan Gehl, whose work is featured in the film The Human Scale. Panelists are architect Jonathan Ward, Los Angeles Times architecture critic Christopher Hawthorne and Mina M. Chow, professor at the USC School of Architecture. 7 p.m.
Saturday
Frances Anderton, host of Kcrw's "DnA: Design and Architecture"; Knud Erik Hansen, chief executive of Danish furniture company Carl Hansen & Son; architectural historian Barbara Lamprecht; and others will discuss "No Easy Chair: Architects and the Design of Furniture." 2:30 p.m.
Saturday
Architect Alice Kimm, professor at USC's School of Architecture, will moderate "Learning Culture: Embedded Architecture," a discussion on the current state of architectural education, with Kevin Kennon, founding principal of United Architects; architect and educator Ingalill Wahlroos-Ritter; professor and designer Amy Murphy; and urban historian Norman Klein. 4:30 p.m.
Sunday
Architecture critic Michael Webb will moderate "Purism and Pragmatism: Restoring Classic Modern Houses," a panel on the restoration and delicate balance between idealism and practicality. He will be joined by actress and preservationist Kelly Lynch, who owns Richard Neutra's Oyler House; designer Michael Boyd of Boyd Design; and architect Frank Escher, partner at Escher GuneWardena Architecture and an expert on John Lautner. 2:30 p.m.
Sunday
Mimi Zeiger, critic, curator and founder of the architecture zine and blog Loud Paper, will present "Hands-on, Ground-up: Community and Design/Build" with Steve Badanes, director of the Neighborhood Design Build Studio at the University of Washington; artist Jenna Didier; and Dave Sellers, architect and co-creator of the utopian Prickly Mountain enclave in Vermont. 5:30 p.m.

Every time Paul Rudd has appeared on Conan O'Brien's late-night talk show -- in any iteration, from "Late Night" to "Conan" -- and no matter what he was promoting -- from "The 40 Year Old Virgin" to "Anchorman 2" -- he's played the same exact clip.
No, not from any movie that he's ever been in -- from the 1988 children's movie "Mac and Me," which has quite possibly the best IMDb description ever: "A Mysterious Alien Creature (Mac ?) trying to escape from Nasa is befriended by a young boy in a wheelchair." (Even better, star Jonathan Ward's chin-on-fist pose is possibly the best IMDb headshot ever.)
When Rudd appeared on "Conan" in early 2013 while filming "Anchorman 2," the host finally confronted him about his little prank. "You've been showing that stupid clip on my show for, I think, 15 years .. and you always convince me you're not going to show it again,...

Much has been made in the media both at home and abroad of the picture postcard quality of Baz Luhrman’s lavish love story Australia. Showcasing the charms of the writer/director’s home country on an epic canvas, the World War II romance starring homegrown talent Nicole Kidman and Hugh Jackman is expected to prompt people to head down under for their next holiday, boosting tourism in the area much as The Lord of the Rings did for Australia’s neighbour New Zealand. However, while the rugged landscapes of New South Wales might seduce some movie-goers, the film’s production designer/ costume designer/ producer/ Luhrman’s wife Catherine Martin is hoping that others are inspired by the fashions as she and Australian bush outfitters brand R.M.Williams are launching a clothing collection based on the movie.
Entitled “R.M.Williams by Catherine Martin”, the Oscar winner collaborated with R.
