Collider: Rob Pattinson Interview
8 November 2009 11:04 AM, PST | twilightersanonymous.com | See recent TwilightersAnonymous news »
Steve from Collider has more from the press conference on Friday and this time he has a nice long interview with none other than Rob Pattinson. Rob talks a lot about New Moon Chris Weitz his thoughts on Edward and much more. Read more belowPicture from MTVQuestion Do you appreciate Edward more with each movie and what are your favorite parts about him?Pattinson Its funny about New Moon. When I read New Moon it gave me ideas about how to play the first one and its the one that I connected to the most and the one that humanized Edward the most for me as well. In the first one he still does remain from beginning to end an idealistic character but in the second one he makes a mistake thats acknowledged by everybody including himself. Also hes totally undermined by more powerful creatures and hes undermined emotionally by people as well. »
Birthday Suits: Immortal Beloveds
8 November 2009 6:27 AM, PST | FilmExperience | See recent FilmExperience news »
Who needs holidays? Make your own with the birthdays of movie people.
Parker, Oleg and Vlad the Impaler (as interpreted by Gary Oldman)
Today's Birthdays 11/08
1431 Vlad the Impaler would have turned 578 years old today if not for that stake through the heart. To be accurate, his exact birthday is unknown but sometimes he's listed on this date which probably has something to do with...
1847 Bram Stoker who wrote the original Dracula, which gave Vlad the immortality that he had mythically already won as the original nosferatu... vampyr. The cinema loves him harder and deeper than Lucy Harker ever could.
1900 Margaret Mitchell wrote Gone With the Wind. She didn't have to impale anyone or renounce heaven to achieve immortality. She just had to write one mammoth book. The movie based on her novel is still the highest grossing film of all time when adjusted for inflation. One of only four films »

Robert Pattinson Says He's Not a Romantic Guy
7 November 2009 10:45 AM, PST | movies.about.com | See recent movies.about.com news »
Robert Pattinson's never had his heart broken the way his character, Edward Cullen, in New Moon breaks Bella's heart. And the British heartthrob admitted at the film's La press day that thus far he hasn't been the most romantic guy around. "I haven't done that many romantic things, in my life," said Pattinson, laughing. "I actually can't think of a single romantic thing I've ever done. That's terrible!"
Pattinson hasn't even taken advantage of his vocal skills to serenade a woman. "Oh, no! I don't think that would ever be romantic," said Pattinson. "You need to have so much balls to do that. Jesus Christ!"
But he did once give a girl a flower with disastrous results. "I put a flower in someone's locker when I was 15 years old. This girl, called Maria...maybe I was 14. She actually thought it was from someone else, and the other guy claimed it as well, »
Robert Pattinson Interview The Twilight Saga: New Moon. Plus Rob Talks Future Projects like Bel Ami and Unbound Captives
7 November 2009 10:30 AM, PST | Collider.com | See recent Collider.com news »
Yesterday was the start of the massive Los Angeles press junket for “The Twilight Saga: New Moon”. While an embargo prevents me from writing my thoughts on the film (or I’d tell you), I’m allowed to start positing all the interviews I participated in, so if you’re a fan of Rob Pattinson, after the jump you can either read or listen to his entire press conference from yesterday afternoon.
The big news is what I reported yesterday. At the end of the press conference, I asked Rob “what movies have you committed to in 2010 and have you been told a tentative start date on ‘Breaking Dawn’?” He told me “I think the tentative time for ‘Breaking Dawn’ is fall of next year.” Also, he talked about his next movie “Bel Ami” and a western he might do with Rachel Weiss and Hugh Jackman called “Unbound Captives”.

Crashville: The Risky Route To Oscar Glory
6 November 2009 10:00 PM, PST | SoundOnSight | See recent SoundOnSight news »
In March 2006 the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences sprung one of its annual surprises by awarding the best picture Oscar to Crash, rather than Ang Lee’s acclaimed gay cowboy drama, Brokeback Mountain. At the time it looked as though racism and multiple vehicular pile-ups had trumped homosexuality in the battle of the “hot button” issue movies. But perhaps the Academy was belatedly acknowledging the kind of ambitious, densely plotted, multi-character dramas made famous by the great Robert Altman. From 1975’s Nashville, to Short Cuts, Prêt à Porter and his 2006 swansong A Prairie Home Companion, Altman allowed audiences to immerse themselves in the cinematic equivalent of a book of short stories. Writer Alissa Quart has characterised these films with multiple intersecting plotlines as “hyperlink movies”, in which, “information, character, and action co-exist without hierarchy”. Now I’m a fan of Altman and I loved Paul Thomas Anderson’s, »

70 years ago audiences first fell for the spirited love affair between southern belle Scarlett O’Hara (Vivien Leigh) and certified scoundrel, Rhett Butler (Clark Gable), and now, as the American civil war classic makes its Blu-Ray debut (out on 16th/ 17th November here in the UK and here in the Us) it’s a great time to relive the splendor of the multi Oscar-winning epic with a trip to the Gone with the Wind exhibition. Having opened in April, this fantastic showcase is hosted at the Hollywood Boulevard Cinema in Woodridge, Illinois and features the Shaw-Tumblin Gwtw Collection, which boasts the distinction of being the world’s largest collection of Gwtw memorabilia – definitely worth giving a damn about. »

Blu-ray Review: North by Northwest (50th Anniversary Edition)
3 November 2009 3:50 AM, PST | Rope of Silicon | See recent Rope Of Silicon news »
There was talk earlier this year that it wasn't in the studios' best interest to continue to release classic films on DVD/Blu-ray as the demand for them was dwindling and the cost of restoration was climbing. The article in question even quotes Warner Home Video senior vice president George Feltenstein saying "most of the studios have pretty much said 'Screw it, we're out of here, we're not going to do this.'" Strangely enough, it just so happens Warner Home Video is the home entertainment studio releasing the very first Alfred Hitchcock film on Blu-ray, 50 years after its theatrical release with a restoration price tag I have read cost upwards of $1 million. Perhaps studios are slowing down the release of their classic films, but with Warner's recent Blu-ray release of The Wizard of Oz, the upcoming release of Gone With the Wind and this release of North by Northwest »

Laguna Beach, CA -- What happens when three Hollywood hotshots undertake the daunting task of rewriting the script to Gone With the Wind—in only five days? Find out when The Laguna Playhouse presents the Orange County premiere of Moonlight And Magnolias, October 6 – November 1, 2009. The play is written by Ron Hutchinson and directed by Andrew Barnicle.
Famed film producer David O. Selznick decides to stop the filming of Gone with the Wind three weeks into production because he wants a rewrite of the unwieldy script. He hires Ben Hecht to do the job in only five days. Only one problem: Hecht has never read the novel! So, Selznick summons Hecht and Gone With the Wind director Victor Fleming to his office and locks the door. Subsisting on a diet of bananas and peanuts, the three men spend five days crafting a screenplay for what will become one of the most successful films of all time. »
Is notorious Broadway flop, Carrie being resurrected?
29 October 2009 5:13 AM, PDT | Boxwish.com | See recent BoxWish news »
There have been a number of screen to stage adaptations that have sunk like stones in recent months. Dolly Parton’s re-working of Nine to Five lasted only five months on the Great White Way, the London production of Gone With the Wind was booed out of the West End after a mere 79 shows and even those Wild Cats found little love when performing Down Under with High School Musical dumped earlier than planned. But hoping to reverse this trend are celebrated producers Jeffery Seller and Kevin McCollum who are planning a revival of the much-mocked musical version of Carrie. »

Citizen Kane? Of course I’ve seen it!

In a recent survey commissioned by Orange, in association with Orange Wednesday, it was revealed that - shock! horror! - people sometimes lie about the films they have seen….especially if someone from Orange collars them in the street and asks them what films they’ve lied about seeing. Dirty Dancing, Taxi Driver and Gone With The Wind are all in the top ten, while 1 in 5 people have apparently lied about seeing the 1972 masterpiece The Godfather. The reason for doing so is unclear (Dirty Dancing?) but it got me thinking about those films that I probably should have seen, possibly never will never see, but if someone asked me…well, I might just say I have. Why? Because I’m just so, so ashamed! Discounting all the world cinema that has so far slipped through the net, here are my top ten movie blanks: Ben Hur Casablanca High Noon The Magnificent Ambersons »

Producers Guild of America to Honor John Lasseter with the David O. Selznick Achievement Award; Up’s Oscar Chances Go Up
21 October 2009 9:42 PM, PDT | Collider.com | See recent Collider.com news »
Named after the legendary producer behind such films as “King Kong”, “Gone with the Wind” and “Rebecca” The David O. Selznick Achiement Award in Motion Pictures is a tremendous honor bestowed upon producers by the Producers Guild of America. Past recipients include Saul Zaentz, Robert Evans, Roger Corman, and Jerry Bruckheimer. But never in its history has a producer of animated films received the award…until now.
At the 21st Annual PGA Awards Ceremony on Sunday, January 24, 2010, writer, director, producer, and Pixar COO John Lasseter will receive the David O. Selznick Achievement Award. Hit the jump for details and what this could mean for “Up’s” chances at a Best Picture Oscar.
It does seem overdue that the man who produced every Pixar film hasn’t received an award from the Producer’s Guild but since most people consider animation as a genre for family films instead of an artistic medium, »

The Wizard Of Oz 70th Anniversary Edition Blu-ray Review
15 October 2009 2:29 PM, PDT | Collider.com | See recent Collider.com news »
I had a friend who had done some jail time. I was always very curious about this because I knew that it would be hugely unlikely I would ever see the inside of a cell (knock on wood). He told that one of the most beloved movies by prisoners was Wizard of Oz. This made all the sense in the world. Wizard of Oz is the ultimate escapist fantasy, which betrays the film’s original message. My thoughts after the jump.
Ironically, what people remember most is the vivid Technicolor of Oz more than the sepia toned world of Kansas. We love our family, but the imagination is stirred by everything that happens when not at home, when not in a safe place. And yet that simple message that there is no place like home, that desire to return to one’s family is pretty profound in the movie. Wizard of Oz, »

'Where the Wild Things Are': Should favorite books be made into movies?
15 October 2009 12:41 PM, PDT | EW.com - The Movie Critics | See recent EW.com - The Movie Critics news »
I've made it pretty clear how much I love Spike Jonze's movie Where the Wild Things Are. But I also feel the pain of a commenter on this site who expressed dismay at the idea of Maurice Sendak's book being adapted at all. "Children's books are wonderful because books allow kids to use their imagination," this poster explained. These stories are amazing just as they are, they do not need to be made into movies." I know just how the writer feels. The more I love a book (whether Horton Hears a Who or Blindness), the more protective »

DVD? Blu-ray? On Demand? What's Your Preferred Method of Home Entertainment?
13 October 2009 11:11 AM, PDT | Rope of Silicon | See recent Rope Of Silicon news »
[poll id = "66"] Over at The Wrap Daniel Frankel has posted a piece regarding the sales numbers for the three-year-old high-definition Blu-ray format saying "the savior format still only generates about 6 percent of total home entertainment revenue." He compares this to DVD, which at age 3 commanded 20 percent of home entertainment revenue back in 2000 when competing with the then popular VHS format.
Frankel points to additional numbers such as the following: Revenue from rentals of DVD and Blu-ray movies and TV shows, as well as digital downloads, had increased 8.2 percent to $5 billion through the first three quarters of this year. Rentals of Blu-ray high-definition disc titles increased 52 percent to $313 million. DVD sales declined 16 percent to $5 billion. He mentions how this holiday season could see Blu-ray players on the market for less than $100 and Blu-ray discs as low as $10, but of course the format will still have to compete with the widespread DVD market and »

Blu-Ray Review: ‘The Wizard of Oz’ Given Release Befitting a Classic
12 October 2009 7:57 PM, PDT | HollywoodChicago.com | See recent HollywoodChicago.com news »
Chicago – The Warner Brothers Blu-Ray release to mark the 70th anniversary of the beloved “The Wizard of Oz” is perhaps the most exhaustive and complete “Collector’s Edition” release to date. Warner Brothers, a studio that knows how to treat their classics, releasing gigantic sets for “Blade Runner” and “Casablanca” in recent years and with another for “Gone With the Wind” coming soon, has done it again, and arguably better than ever.
Blu-Ray Rating: 5.0/5.0
As for the film itself, what more could possibly be written about “The Wizard of Oz”? By some standards, it’s the most watched movie in world history, a film that has transcended its genre to simply become a part of the history of the planet. Have you ever heard someone criticize or complain about “The Wizard of Oz”? Me either.
The Wizard of Oz: 70th Anniversary Ultimate Collector’s Edition was released on DVD and Blu-Ray on September 29th, »

Do You Ever Lie about the Movies You've Seen?
9 October 2009 2:37 AM, PDT | Rope of Silicon | See recent Rope Of Silicon news »
Have you seen The Godfather? How about 12 Angry Men? Casablanca? Or even Citizen Kane? I ask this after reading Xan Brooks' piece over at The Guardian headlined "Have you actually seen The Godfather?"
Brooks' article cites a survey conducted by Orange which resulted in learning that one in five of us have lied about seeing The Godfather. Men, the survey suggests, are more likely to bluff about movies than women, with 58% admitting they had lied in the past compared with 38% of women.
A spokesman for Orange was quoted saying, "Most people tell the odd white lie so they can seem more knowledgeable to their friends. Others lie because they are embarrassed about appearing less cultured."
I will admit that when I first started RopeofSilicon I had not seen several of the films considered to be classics. I was embarrassed by this fact, but I never actually lied about it as »

1999: A Year In Review (Part One)
7 October 2009 9:07 AM, PDT | ScreenRant.com | See recent Screen Rant news »
Many films come out every year with critics and fans alike, compiling lists of their bests and worsts. There are also many films that fall between the cracks, only to be discovered years later. Many critics believe that one of the best years in cinema was 1939, when Gone with the Wind and The Wizard of Oz were released alongside many other classic gems.
Personally, I’ve always felt that 1999 was an epic year for movies, providing us with so many interesting films. In fact, 1999 was such a good year for movies that even some of the bad ones are still worth watching!
So, please sit back and put your memory caps on as Screen Rant takes on a retrospective of 1999 in the world of film.
In 1999, the world was a very different place. We were on the cusp of a new millennium and 9/11 was something that nobody - not even »
