Danish co-writer/director Pernille Fischer Christensen's soothing and relaxed biopic Becoming Astrid (a.k.a. Unga Astrid) is a touching account of a youthful Astrid Lindgren, the woman that evetually would become a renowned author of children's books worldwide. Lindgren would be better known as the creator behind the immensely popular Pippi Longstocking book series. Christensen ("Someone You Love") spins a sedate, lyrical coming-of-age tale that showcases the turbulent times of a young girl whose written creativity in womanhood would ultimately shape the imagination and encourage the inspiration of children across the global landscape. Although devoutly conventional, Becoming Astrid is still rather spell-binding in its quieted account of a curious yet gently disillusioned rural youngster whose futuristic boundaries would be an adventurous window to countless kiddies in different...

"What happens next in the story?" Music Box Films has debuted the official Us trailer for a Swedish-Danish drama titled Becoming Astrid, which first premiered at the Berlin Film Festival earlier this year. The film tells the story of Swedish writer Astrid Lindgren (author of the world famous Pippi Longstocking series), who grew up in a small town, started working for the local newspaper there, fell in love with the much older editor of that newspaper, gets pregnant with him, and decides to leave him to raise the child on her own. This actually is the true story of Astrid, the film tells it with a great amount of elegance and sensitivity. Alba August stars as Astrid and she's easily the best part of this. The cast includes Björn Gustafsson, Trine Dyrholm, Maria Bonnevie, Magnus Krepper, and Henrik Rafaelsen. I first saw this at Berlinale and it's quite a good...

If there are any rumors of the classic Pippi Longstocking being given another chance at the movies they’re being kept well under wraps at this moment. It seems okay to think that a lot of us might remember the fiery-haired, and tempered, young girl from the stories we read so long ago. She did have her shot at movies and TV and they did fairly well when it came to kids actually liking and believing in Pippi, but like all things that came about in the 80’s and 90’s, and even earlier, Pippi’s story eventually gave way to the more

Studio Ghibli’s first ever television series, Ronja, the Robber’s Daughter, dropped on Amazon Prime in January of this year. The studio is known worldwide for its beautifully animated stories of friendship, family and regard for the natural world, but pacing issues and mishandled digital rendering mean that Ronja fails to live up to the high expectations that come with the Ghibli name.
Directed by Gorō Miyazaki, the son of Ghibli founder Hayao Miyazaki, the 26-episode series is based on a book of the same name by Pippi Longstocking creator Astrid Lindgren. Ronja (Teresa Gallagher) is the daughter of Lovis (Morwenna Banks) and Mattis (Rufus Hound), chief of a robber clan occupying a fort deep in the Scandinavian forest. Venturing alone into the forest, Ronja meets Birk (Kelly Adams), son of a rival clan chief. As the two learn to navigate their dangerous forest home, they slowly develop a...

Last we heard from André Hedetoft (co-writer-director of Origin) he was working on something called Finns Här Några Snälla Barn or as you might remember it: “Pippi Longstocking with zombies!” While that film is still very much on track, aiming for a winter shoot and currently casting its leads, Hedetoft already has another project in the pipeline. Space Pirates promises to be true to its title as “a unique mix of sci-fi and fantasy, bringing the myths and legends of pirates of the seven seas to life, in space”. Born as an imaginative adventure a young Hedetoft used to dream up in his bathtub, Space Pirates’ story became emotionally enriched by the birth of his three daughters: “Three girls hidden throughout the galaxy discover on...

Clone Club, what did we learn from Orphan Black‘s Season 5 premiere? According to Sarah and Alison, it would have to be not to go into the woods, because bad things — very, very bad things — happen among the trees.
Let’s break down the action-packed episode, clone by clone:
Sarah | An injured Sarah makes her way across the island, hoping to find Cosima and a boat to get them far, far away from whatever attacked her in the woods. (My guess? It’s the product of an early Neolution experiment gone wrong.) The monster in the forest is so disturbing,...

Claire Foy appears to be the frontrunner to replace Rooney Mara as Lisbeth Salander in Sony's The Girl In The Spider's Web.
It’s been 12 years since the publication of The Girl With The Dragon Tattoo took the literary world by storm with its spikey anti-heroine Lisbeth Salander. Four movies and two interpretations later, it remains a coveted role for almost any young actor. Part Pippi Longstocking and part avenging goth-punk out to punish misogynists and abusers wherever they hide, Stieg Larsson’s creation is still so potent that Sony Pictures is ready to take another stab at piercing the character onscreen, and possibly with The Crown’s Claire Foy too.
As according to anonymous sources over at The Wrap, Foy is the frontrunner whom Sony and director Fede Alvarez (Don’t Breathe) are zeroing in on to star in The Girl In The Spider’s Web.

Daniel Clowes had Patricia Highsmith and Alfred Hitchcock on his mind for Wilson: "He's like a different version of the Robert Walker character in Strangers on a Train …" Photo: Anne-Katrin Titze
A comment to director Craig Johnson and screenwriter/graphic novelist Daniel Clowes on Laura Dern's tattoos for her character Pippi in Wilson, led us to Robert Crumb, Tony Danza, Van Halen, and Pippi Longstocking. Woody Harrelson is Wilson, Pippi's ex-husband, and they have a daughter, Claire (Isabella Amara). Judy Greer plays Shelly, Wilson's dog sitter for Pepper and Cheryl Hines was once his sister-in-law.

“I’ve felt remorse for my choice of following in my father’s footsteps,” Goro Miyazaki told IndieWire in an email interview, but indicated that he also laughed in his response to this question.

Studio Ghibli has a long history with Swedish author Astrid Lingren.

Lingren turned the animators down - understandable, given their relative lack of fame at the time - and a clutch of story boards and concept sketches are all that remain of the abandoned project.

Sometimes you've got to bend the truth to get what you want – at least's what Drew Barrymore said she once did.
On Friday's episode of The Ellen DeGeneres Show, the star opens up to DeGeneres about her non-traditional childhood – including the time 6-year-old Drew attempted to fib her way into one of Steven Spielberg's movies.
"I lied to him. I lied my face off," Barrymore, now 40, reveals. "I told him I was in a rock-and-roll band. I was a drummer, of course, because drummers are the coolest. And that I was a cook."

Here in the U.S., we are about to suffer the full onslaught of "the holiday movie season," which means we are stuck with picking between populist blockbusters, family comedies, and award-seeking dramas, with genre fare generally relegated to the sidelines. To give us hope for the future, director André Hedetoft has been kind enough to share concept art for his upcoming film Finns Här Några Snälla Barn. He describes it as "a sort of Pippi Longstocking with zombies." Here is the official introduction for the concept art, credited to Jens Grönberg & Jenny Brand of breakfastdesign.nu: Finns Här Några Snälla Barn is something as unique as a Swedish feature film that explores a zombie outbreak on Christmas Eve entirely through the kids perspective. Now we...

Question of the week, raised by Everlasting gofer/Pippi Longstocking stunt double Madison: If you do something completely terrible, then do something almost as terrible in order to escape blame — but that second something makes at least one person happy — are you worthy of a comforting cuddle?

When “Winter’s Bone” writer and director Debra Granik ventured to Missouri to make the film, she returned with more than she expected — the subject of her next film, in the form of Ron “Stray Dog” Hall, a biker and Vietnam vet with a heart of gold and a head full of nightmares. Granik brings an un-showy, observational documentary style to this intimate look at Stray Dog’s life, navigating his trusty Harley along Missouri’s open road, with his new Mexican wife, Alicia, riding on the back of the bike.

The good, the bad and Carrie Underwood's H-o-t comeback! From fun-filled award shows to glamorous red carpet events, Hollywood's famous fashionistas stepped out this week in their favorite couture creations. While new mama Carrie hit it out of the park for her post-baby debut at the 2015 Cmt Awards, Nicole Kidman earned a failing fashion grade in Balenciaga as she cuddled up her hunky hubby, Keith Urban. Bryce Dallas Howard may be the leading lady in "Jurassic World," but some fashion critics say her ill-fitting Emilio Pucci gown should be slashed by a T-Rex.

Lady Gaga has been upping the ante with her wardrobe as of late. The "Bad Romance" crooner emerged from the Langham Hotel in London looking like a terrifying version of Pippi Longstocking. Taylor Kinney's better half donned an interesting black-and-white overcoat for her outing, but it's the makeup and hair that has us doing a double take! Mother Monster opted for eyeliner that went well above and beyond the call of duty. Instead of just applying eyeliner to the upper and lower lids, Gaga outlined both of her eyes entirely—including her brows and under eyes! She also drew on a fake mole under one of her heavily contoured cheeks. She paired the dramatic look with blood-red lips and...

As the Hayao Miyazaki Complete Collection arrives on Blu-ray, we look at the legendary animator's rise to international success...
When Hayao Miyazaki stepped into a Tokyo conference room and announced his retirement from feature filmmaking on the 6th September 2013, it marked the end of a career which stretched back to the early 1960s. Through such films as My Neighbour Totoro, Spirited Away and Howl's Moving Castle, Miyazaki entertained and beguiled a global audience with his lighter-than-air storytelling and captivating characters. Somehow, his films managed to be both universal and deeply personal.
Miyazaki's work is brought together for the first time in The Hayao Miyazaki Collection, which serves as lasting and handsomely-presented tribute to the 11 films he made between 1979 and 2013. But how did Miyazaki, born to a well-to-do family on the 5th January 1941, become one of the most respected animators in Japan?
Miyazaki grew up in the post-war comics boom led by the father of manga,...

Because this is not a Japanese film site, Japanese film news tends to slip under the radar. So while Ronia, the Robber’s Daughter was announced in February as something new and sparkly and unique – a Studio Ghibli TV series, headed up by Goro Miyazaki (son of Hayao), to be done entirely in CGI – it was mostly forgotten about in the post-February world. Only now, several months later, has Ronia has peeked its head above the Tokyo skyline, and it’s here to show us what traditional Ghibli animation looks like when hauled screaming into the third dimension. The results? They’re Ok, I guess. The series, based off a children’s book by “Pippi Longstocking” author Astrid Lindgren, tells the tale of a young girl who lives in the woods with her father’s clan of thieves and mercenaries. Adorable criminal hi-jinx ensue. Oh, and for those wondering if the narrator says anything of note, here...

Whether or not the legendary Hayao Miyazaki returns from his apparent retirement following his recent “final” film “The Wind Rises," the future of Studio Ghibli still remains bright. Miyazaki’s cohorts Isao Takahata and Hiromasa Yonebayashi have each lent their directorial talents to Ghibli films in the past (“My Neighbors The Yamadas," “The Secret World of Arietty”), but Hayao’s son Goro Miyazaki has also thrown his hat into the ring as well, and now he plans to take the studio into new territory on the small screen. In a post on the studio’s Facebook page, Studio Ghibli announced their first-ever foray into television with a Goro Miyazaki-directed adaptation of a book by Swedish author Astrid Lindgren – best known for her Pippi Longstocking and Karlsson-on-the-Roof books. "Ronja the Robber's Daughter" ("Sanzoku no Musume Ronja") follows a young girl, Ronia, who lives with her thief father in a castle...

Coming off the back of directing his acclaimed sophomore feature, From Up on Poppy Hill, Gorō Miyazaki is about to make his television debut directing Studio Ghibli’s first ever TV series, an adaptation of Ronia the Robber’s Daughter.
The original fantasy book, Ronja Rövardotter, is written by Swedish author Astrid Lindgren, best known for her Pippi Longstocking series, was published back in 1981 and was previously adapted as a live-action feature film in 1984.
Courtesy of Amazon, here’s the synopsis for the original novel:
Ronia lives with her father, a robber chieftain, and his band of men in their fortress on the top of a mountain. On the night Ronia was born, a bolt of lightning split the stronghold in two, leaving a huge chasm – Hell’s Gap – in between.
Soon Ronia is old enough to explore the forest around her, but she must beware of the grey dwarfs...

The Japanese animation studio is developing a new television series, to be directed by Goro Miyazaki...
Arriving on Japanese television this autumn will be a Studio Ghibli adaptation of Swedish children's book Ronia, The Robber's Daughter, directed by From Up On Poppy Hill and Tales From Earthsea's Goro Miyazaki and written by Reservoir Chronicle's Hiroyuki Kawsaki.
The adventure tale, which tells the Romeo and Juliet-ish story of a growing friendship between the offspring of two warring families in medieval Scandinavia, was written by Pippi Longstocking creator Astrid Lindgren and published in 1981. A successful live-action fantasy film adaptation, Ronja Rovadottar, was made by Swedish director Tage Danielsson in 1984 from a screenplay by Lindgren, but this will be the story's first television outing.

A little like being told not to think of an elephant, when the small group of press who got to meet Tomas Alfredson at the Marrakech Film Festival was asked in advance not to ask about his next project, it was pretty much all any of us could think about. The “Let the Right One In” and “Tinker Tailor Soldier Spy” director has long been attached to an adaptation of “The Brothers Lionheart,” a children’s fantasy story by beloved Swedish author Astrid Lindgren (who also created Pippi Longstocking), and the version of the film that he was putting together was at one point rumored to have the highest ever budget for a Scandinavian film. Which is perhaps why Alfredson is a little gunshy about talking about it—in fact he told us that he doesn’t like to speak about projects before they are 100% financed and set in stone,...
