Audiences have been admiring Colleen Atwood’s costumes for decades — from Johnny Depp’s forlorn, goth barber in 1990′s Edward Scissorhands all the way up to Depp’s unhinged Mad Hatter in 2010′s Alice in Wonderland. But it’s another thing altogether to get an up-close-and-personal look at her work, which I did a few weeks ago at a special private gallery showing of Atwood’s costumes for Snow White and the Huntsman. Beyond all the precise detail work built into every one of Charlize Theron’s outlandishly sinister dresses as the Evil Queen, what most impressed me was how »

He made his name playing criminals and low-lifes – now Tim Roth is back as the nicest father in town. Catherine Shoard meets him in Cannes to talk films, politics and bringing up his own teenagers
When Clarice Starling is first assigned to interview Hannibal Lecter in The Silence of the Lambs, we are told, in Thomas Harris's novel, that "a brief silence follows the name, always, in any civilised gathering". Something similar happens when you say you're off to interview Tim Roth. A light gasp, a small step back. Roth – who was set to play the younger Lecter in 2002's Red Dragon, until Anthony Hopkins dyed his hair and reprised the role – has a reputation for being slippery. He just doesn't give, I'm told. Meet him in California, people caution, and he clams up. Get an audience in London and he is prickly, defensive.
So why is it that in Cannes, »

Undoubtedly, Anthony Hopkins is one of the world's greatest living actors. He's portrayed a wide array of characters, tackled a variety of genres and all with a growling bravado that's made us want more. Hopkins is so good that his skills can transcend plots with absurd setups and laughable loglines, which is why we've been eager for New Line's Solace since they attached The Silence of the Lambs Oscar-winner last fall. Originally conceived by producing team Sean Bailey and Ted Griffin (Matchstick Men), the thriller centers on John Clancy, a retired doctor with psychic abilities who uses his special gifts to help the FBI track down an elusive serial killer. Hopkins will anchor Solace by playing Clancy, and Variety reports New Line is close to securing buzzed-about Brazilian director Afonso Poyart, who has drawn notice with his action-packed debut 2 Coelhos. Poyart, wrote, directed, produced and cut the mayhem-laced tale of »

Legendary American musician, Neil Young, took to the open road leading up to a solo performance at Toronto’s Massey Hall last year, revisiting some of the towns in which he used to live in Ontario. Oscar-nominated director Jonathan Demme (The Silence of the Lambs, Rachel Getting Married) was there to document some of the trip and the show itself, culminating in the director’s third documentary with the musician, entitled Neil Young Journeys.
The first trailer for the doc has now debuted at Yahoo Movies, and is here for your viewing pleasure below.
“A look at Neil Young’s 2011 solo tour to Toronto’s Massey Hall, an iconic venue in the city of his birth. At sixty-five, Young retains a youthful vitality and musical curiosity.

Sharlto Copley (District 9, The A-Team) will play the lead role in Open Grave, the next film directed by Gonzalo Lopez-Gallego (Apollo 18), and has also been confirmed as the villain in Spike Lee's (Inside Man, 25th Hour) remake of Oldboy, Park Chan-wook’s cult Korean revenge thriller from 2003.
His character in the thriller Open Grave wakes up in a pit of bodies with no idea how he got there. He begins to have flashbacks that make him wonder whether he’s the killer responsible or if it’s one of the strangers who rescue him from the pit. Open Grave is currently in pre-production and filming will begin soon in Hungary.
Copley has also joined Oldboy as the villainous Adrian Pryce, a mysterious billionaire who has Joe Douchett (Josh Brolin) imprisoned for over a decade. He then sets him free, threatening to torment him further unless he discovers »

Anthony Hopkins is well known for his portrayal of psychos on screen. Just revisit 1991 when the world was introduced to Hannibal Lecter in The Silence of the Lambs. But today Hopkins is nearly unrecognizable as he transforms into the creator of another Psycho. A photo has emerged of Hopkins in Sacha Gervasi's forthcoming Alfred Hitchcock biopic titled _Hitchcock_, which chronicles the making of Psycho. »

When it comes to source material for movie adaptations, a non-fiction book about a director making a film may not be the most obvious of choices. However, when said director is Alfred Hitchcock and said film is his classic 1960 chiller Psycho, things start to get interesting. Add in a stellar cast that includes Oscar-winners Anthony Hopkins (The Silence of the Lambs) and Helen Mirren (The Queen) as Hitch and his wife Alma Reville alongside Scarlett Johansson (The Avengers) as Janet Leigh and James D'Arcy (W.E.) as Anthony Perkins and things start to get really interesting. Finally, throw in this fantastic first look at Anthony Hopkins as the legendary British filmmaker and Hitchcock suddenly becomes one of next year's most intriguing cinematic offerings.
Based on Stephen Rebello's 1990 book Alfred Hitchcock and the Making of Psycho, the film is directed by Sacha Gervasi (Anvil! The Story of Anvil) and sees Hopkins, »

First announced last month, NBC is moving ahead with a 13-episode season of "Hannibal", based on the iconic Thomas Harris serial killer character, Hannibal Lecter. Today, EW spoke with showrunner Bryan Fuller about his take on the project, which has been mapped out for a potential seven season run, re-adapting Harris' Lecter novels, which include Red Dragon, The Silence of the Lambs, Hannibal and Hannibal Rising.
“There is a cheery disposition to our Hannibal,” Fuller explains of the yet-to-be-cast Lecter. “He’s not being telegraphed as a villain. If the audience didn’t know who he was, they wouldn’t see him coming. What we have is Alfred Hitchcock’s principle of suspense — show the audience the bomb under the table and let them sweat when it’s going to go boom. So the audience knows who Hannibal is so we don’t have to overplay his villainy. We get »

Fox Searchlight Pictures has released this first look of Anthony Hopkins as Alfred Hitchcock in the upcoming drama Hitchcock (via People.com). Last week principal photography for Hitchcock started on April 13th in Los Angeles. I have to admit, with all the prosthetics on, the resemblance is remarkable.
The film will star Academy Award® winners Sir Anthony Hopkins as Alfred Hitchcock and Dame Helen Mirren as his wife, Alma. Sacha Gervasi, whose big screen debut, Anvil! The Story Of Anvil won the 2010 Best Documentary Feature prize at the Independent Spirit Awards, will direct from a screenplay by John McLaughlin, revisions by Ryan Murphy, Stephen Rebello and Sacha Gervasi, based on the book Alfred Hitchcock and the Making of Psycho by Stephen Rebello.

Anthony Hopkins as Alfred Hitchcock Oscar winner Anthony Hopkins plays Alfred Hitchcock, who never won a competitive Oscar, in Sacha Gervasi's Hitchcock, which is scheduled to open in 2013. Hitchcock's massive double chin, prominent nose, and bald head are all there, but I can still see (a somewhat sleepy) Hannibal Lecter in there somewhere. Perhaps Hitchcock, who was known for his dry, pitch-black sense of humor, would have appreciated it. Adapted by John J. McLaughlin and Stephen Rebello from Rebello's own novel set around the time Psycho was made, Hitchcock also features The Queen / Red's Helen Mirren as Hitchcock's wife (and film editor) Alma Reville, Match Point / The Avengers' Scarlett Johansson as Janet Leigh (who received a Best Supporting Actress Oscar nomination for her performance in Psycho), Playing the Field / Total Recall's Jessica Biel as Vera Miles (Leigh's sister in the movie), W.E.'s James D'Arcy as Anthony Perkins, »

Sir Anthony Hopkins won an Oscar for playing one of the biggest psychos of all time, Hannibal Lecter, in 1991's The Silence of the Lambs. Now he's playing the man who directed the movie that had all of America screaming, Alfred Hitchcock, at the time the Hollywood legend was making his classic 1960 film Psycho. Here, in this first look from the movie Hitchcock, which began shooting last Friday (Hitch would have loved the date, Friday the 13th), Hopkins, 74, is seen as the bald, portly and droll 60-year-old. Also in Hitchcock, which is being directed by Sacha Gervasi, is Helen Mirren as the director's stalwart wife, »

We all love The Karate Kid. No, not the ridiculously long remake that featured Kung-Fu instead of Karate despite its name, we're talking the original, man! Why are we talking about that? Because some interesting Hitchcock casting news has just broken.
According to Deadline, Daniel-san himself, Ralph Macchio, has signed on to Hitchcock. Macchio will play Psycho screenwriter Joe Stefano. Anthony Hopkins plays Hitchcock, Helen Mirren plays Alma Reville, Scarlett Johansson plays Janet Leigh, and Jessica Biehl plays Vera Miles.

Stanley Tucci as Caesar Flickerman, Jennifer Lawrence as Katniss Everdeen, The Hunger Games The Hunger Games has topped the Us/Canada box office for the fourth weekend in a row. Starring Jennifer Lawrence (Winter's Bone), the Gary Ross-directed blockbuster scored $21.5 million according to studio estimates found at Box Office Mojo. The dystopic action-drama was down a relatively modest 35% compared to Easter weekend. Prior to The Hunger Games, the most recent movie to achieve the four-weekend-in-a-row feat was James Cameron / Sam Worthington's Avatar in early 2010. In fact, Avatar remained at the top for seven consecutive weekends. The Hunger Games, however, won't get that far. Next weekend, it'll surely be unseated by Zac Efron / Taylor Schilling's The Lucky One. Among the nearly 30 movies that have managed to be no. 1 for four weekends in a row are Christopher Nolan / Christian Bale / Heath Ledger's The Dark Knight (2008), Peter Jackson / Elijah Wood »

I am fascinated by the horror genre. From afar. As in: I am not at all fascinated by the horror genre but am endlessly curious about why it provokes so much feverish fandom in others. So I find myself reading about the horror genre a lot in an intermittent effort to understand it. From afar. Time Out London just came out with a poll of horror biggies and horror enthusiasts to form an eclectic list of the 100 best horror films. Some of them that I love I hadn't really thought of as "horror" (though on second thought they clearly are) like Dead Ringers, The Night of the Hunter and Ken Russell's The Devils.
I knew my three all time favorites would rank high though my fourth favorite horror film (Whatever Happened to Baby Jane?) did not make the list.
