Today was a busy day for some of the smaller guilds with the Visual Effects Society, the Cinema Audio Society, and the Makeup and Hairstylists Guilds all announcing their nominations for 2013.
First, we have the Ves, whose main category to look at is “Outstanding Visual Effects in a Visual Effects-Driven Feature Motion Picture,” where we find Gravity and four other nominees that are just going to have to be happy with the fact that they got nominated. This is perhaps the easiest category to call in the entirety of awards season, and I don’t mean just here, but for the Oscar as well (Last year’s winner, Life of Pi, easily took this category before going on to claim the Oscar). It’s true that films like The Hobbit: The Desolation of Smaug and Star Trek Into Darkness had outstanding effects as well, but nothing even came close to the amazing,...

Now that the Beatles have finally made their entry into the digital age (in an official capacity, at least), the band is enjoying a bit of a renaissance (one they seem to enjoy once every few years or so; the last one came during the release of "The Beatles: Rock Band" in 2009). Several of their albums shot right to the top of the iTunes sales chart, and you can expect at least one or two to make a major impact on next week's Billboard album sales chart (which now incorporates older titles into the new stuff). Any excuse to re-discover the Beatles is usually a good one, as they are the rare band with the work that actually backs up their lofty reputation (which is no small feat, considering that reputation is "greatest band ever") and their songs always seem to be revealing subtle twists and turns even five decades later.

Brazilian director Walter Salles and his screenwriting partner Jose Rivera have committed to bringing Philip Meyer’s brilliant debut novel American Rust to the big screen.
The pair have many productions in the works including The Brief Life Of Oscar Wao and On The Road, both of which are complex pieces of literature that won’t be easy to adapt at all.
American Rust is about two friends from Pennsylvania who leave home in search for the American dream, what they find instead is a world full of violence, mistrust and downright degradation. The book is set in 2002 when America is still reeling from the tragic events of 9/11. It’s a beautifully written story that shifts between the effects of modern paranoia and the general feeling of depression era America.
Author Philip Meyer has been rightly compared to Cormac McCarthy and there really couldn’t be a better time to adapt American Rust than now.

Director Walter Salles and his screenwriting partner Jose Rivera have signed on to adapt Philip Meyer's debut novel American Rust, possibly coming to the screen via Universal, who get first look at the completed script.The novel is about two friends from a derelict Pennsylvanian mill town who hit the road in search of something better, but only encounter violence, mistrust and urban degeneration. Set in 2002, it nevertheless taps into the tradition of depression-era Americana, from authors like William Faulkner and John Steinbeck. Some critics have compared Meyer to Cormac McCarthy.A downbeat story certainly, but with John Hillcoat's hotly anticipated The Road (from McCarthy's novel) finally approaching, it may be that that's not the gloomy prospect for a major studio that it once might have appeared. Salles and Rivera previously brought us the excellent Motorcycle Diaries, which might give some indication of the tone and approach we'd see here.
