A Win-Win Situation: IFC & Criterion releasing Hunger, Still Walking and Abdellatif Kechiche’s The Secret of the Grain

2 September 2009 | ioncinema | See recent ioncinema news »

- Ask me what my top film of 2008 was. Simple. Abdellatif Kechiche's The Secret of the Grain (see here). Ask me what my number 2 film of the year is. Simple. Steve McQueen's Hunger (see here). Climb up a couple of spots on my top 20 of the year, and Matteo Garrone’s Gomorrah is slotted at my number 6 spot. After announcing that they would pact together on Arnaud Desplechin’s “A Christmas Tale,” Matteo Garrone’s “Gomorrah,” and Steven Soderbergh’s “Che,” it looks like Criterion and IFC Films have 7 more titles are in the oven. Apart from my number 1 and 2 picks, Criterion will make special editions for recently released Jan Troell’s Everlasting Moments, Olivier AssayasSummer Hours, Hirokazu Kore-Eda’s Still Walking, and will go back in the vault to launch special editions of Alfonso Cuaron’s Y Tu Mama Tambien and Christopher Nolan’s Following.... »

First Looks at Christopher Nolan’s ‘Inception’

17 August 2009 9:26 AM, PDT | Movie Cultists | See recent Movie Cultists news »

It's the follow-up to The Dark Knight, the second-highest-grossing movie of all time.  It has a terrific cast led by Leonardo DiCaprio, Marion Cotillard, Ken Watanabe, Ellen Page, and Joseph Gordon-Levitt.  And it's directed by Christopher Nolan, who -- with Memento, Insomnia, Batman Begins, The Prestige, and Knight -- has yet to make a bad movie.  (I'll admit that I haven't seen Following, his first film -- maybe I should tackle it in a Cult Movies to Watch column soon?)  So Nolan's new movie, Inception, is a big deal.  A really big deal. Nolan knows how to get people interested.  In ... »

Heath Ledger's 'Imaginarium' Finds Stateside Distributor

13 August 2009 1:00 AM, PDT | Aceshowbiz | See recent Aceshowbiz news »

Following the release of its international trailer a week earlier, "The Imaginarium of Doctor Parnassus" is reportedly close to have a U.S. buyer. According to Variety, Sony Pictures Worldwide Acquisitions Group is in advanced talks to pick up this fantasy drama that features Heath Ledger's last performance.

The Sony group is said to have planned to release "Imaginarium" theatrically this year through Sony Pictures Classics. The trade further claimed that the deal with Sony "has long been in the works and could be made official this week". Nonetheless, representatives, including sales agent John Sloss, kept tight lips on the deal.

In early 2008, "The Imaginarium of Doctor Parnassus" has been put in a jeopardy when its leading actor, Ledger, was found dead in his apartment while the production was still halfway through. But with the joining of Johnny Depp, Colin Farrell and Jude Law in place of the late actor's vacant role, »

Oldman confirms 'Dark Knight' sequel

27 July 2009 2:15 AM, PDT | Digitalspy | See recent digitalspy news »

Gary Oldman has said that the follow-up to The Dark Knight should begin shooting next year. The actor made the off-the-cuff remark during a press conference at last week's Comic-Con convention in San Diego. Following a question by a fan, Oldman said: "I think the next Batman is next year. We start shooting next year. You didn't hear that from me." Oldman played James Gordon in the Christopher Nolan-directed (more) »

Hans Zimmer Re-Teaming With Nolan To Score Inception

25 July 2009 9:52 PM, PDT | ScreenRant.com | See recent Screen Rant news »

BusinessWire (via NolanFans and The Playlist) is reporting that prolific film composer, Hans Zimmer, has been tapped to score Christopher Nolan’s upcoming secretive thriller, Inception. Of course, this isn’t really a surprise considering Zimmer worked with Nolan on both his Batman movies, Batman Begins and The Dark Knight.

Inception is Nolan’s new movie that could aptly be summed up as “mysterious.” With a few small character details aside, and a central story that focuses on blackmailing, the only real line of info we’ve had to go on is that it’s, “a contemporary sci-fi thriller set within the architecture of the mind.”

Even The Riddler would have trouble working that one out…

 

Although like I said, it’s no surprise that Zimmer is (apparently) scoring Inception since he scored Nolan’s Batman Begins and The Dark Knight (the latter along with James Newton Howard), The Playlist »

‘Johnny Depp Playing The Riddler’ Voted Favorite ‘Batman 3’ Rumor

13 July 2009 3:13 PM, PDT | MTV Splash Page | See recent MTV Splash Page news »

In last week’s poll, I asked readers to vote on the “Batman 3″ rumors they wished were true. From Cher playing Catwoman and Christopher Nolan exiting the franchise to Philip Seymour Hoffman playing The Penguin and Christian Bale taking his growl elsewhere, there’s been no shortage of rumors surrounding the next installment of the Batman film franchise. And no rumor has been without its share of fans, either.

When all the votes were tallied, however, the margin of votes between the most popular rumor and the next wish-it-was-true option was one of the largest in any of our polls thus far. And while the winner isn’t much of a surprise, the support for some of the other might raise a few eyebrows (and cause some heart palpitations) among the Batman faithful.

After all the votes were tallied, two rumors that originated with “Batman Begins” actor Michael Caine proved »

Hrithik-Aishwarya's next film - Guzaarish

12 May 2009 3:29 PM, PDT | India.com | See recent India.com news »

After struggling to find a suitable name for his Hrithik-Aishwarya starrer, director Sanjay Leela Bhansali is reported to have finalized a title – it's Guzaarish.

Following the success of Jodhaa Akbar many directors were more than keen to sign the amazing on-screen couple of Hrithik Roshan and Aishwarya Rai together. And the first to do it was Sanjay Leela Bhansali, for his untitled film. The movie is still in nascent stages and will go on floors only by next year.

For 'Guzaarish', Bhansali is tying up with producers Utv Motion Pictures; coincidentally, they were also the producers of 'Jodhaa Akbar'. Earlier it was said that Bhansali will team up with Big Pictures or Sony Pictures to make the film. But now the picture is clear; it's Utv.

The movie is believed to be a remake of the 2006 Hollywood film 'The Prestige', which was directed by the ' »

27 April 2009 12:43 AM, PDT | EmpireOnline | See recent EmpireOnline news »

If it’s a Christopher Nolan film, then it must star Michael Caine. So has it been written – and lo, Sir Maurice Micklewhite has indeed signed on to join the cast of Nolan’s mysterious sci-fi, Inception.The movie will be the fourth in a row for the Caine/Nolan team, following Batman Begins, The Prestige, and The Dark Knight. Rumour has it that Nolan is planning to digitally insert footage of Caine into Memento, Following and Insomnia.As has been the case with Inception since, well, its inception, Caine hasn’t been able to spill word one about the project or his character. "I have a little part in it, yes,” he told InContention.com. “I think I'll work about three days. It'll be extraordinary, wait until you see this one. I think if I say another word he's going to kill me!"Well, we wouldn’t want that, »

Fragment of Fear: Exclusive trailer and more!

23 March 2009 12:24 PM, PDT | Fangoria | See recent Fangoria news »

The ongoing trend of visceral Australian horror delves into dark psychology as well with Fragment, the feature debut of writer/director Andrew Miles. The recently completed film was produced by Kelvin Crumplin and executive-produced by Graham Broughton and Michael Favelle (the latter of whom provided Fango with an exclusive first look at the trailer; you can see that preview, and a couple of exclusive photos, below).

“It began with a fantasy I had about breaking into someone’s apartment and finding a beautiful dead woman lying on the floor naked, and wondering who she was,” Miles explains. “This idea then floated around as a David Lynch-type short story, where a guy spends the afternoon with the woman’s body. This time, however, she is alive and then dead again, like a time loop. But it was basically about falling in love with a dead woman and finding out who »

Exclusive: Zack Snyder's Thoughts on Adapting Dark Knight Returns

25 February 2009 3:57 AM, PST | firstshowing.net | See recent FirstShowing.net news »

So the story goes that at the San Diego Comic-Con last year, during the Watchmen panel, Zack Snyder said that he "would love to see Frank Miller's Dark Knight Returns made into a movie." Following all the hype surrounding that statement, Frank Miller was asked if he would give Zack his blessing to adapt that graphic novel, which he would. So of course, the next logical step would be to go back to Zack and ask him how he might adapt the story, even though there's a distinct possibility that Warner Brothers will never ever allow this, especially with Christopher Nolan's version of Batman earning them billions of dollars. In my interview with Zack Snyder on Watchmen, the final question I asked him was about, hypothetically, if he were to adapt The Dark Knight Returns, how would he do it. Some of you may have already heard his »
