'The Sounds Of Aronofsky' Is Brilliant And Disturbing
18 May 2012 9:49 AM, PDT | Huffington Post | See recent Huffington Post news »
Vimeo user Kogonada has an eye for distilling the more stylized modern directors down to their essences.
Earlier this year, he edited together reels of Wes Anderson from above and Quentin Tarantino from below, highlighting each director's favorite perspective. He also remixed several seasons of "Breaking Bad" Pov shots into one rad reel.

But this short is a little different: Rather than focusing strictly on sight, Kogonada hones in on sound. In "Sounds Of Aronofsky," the adept editor cuts together some of the American director's most striking auditory moments. The catch is that, in Aronofsky's work, sound and sight generally compliment each other.
The succession of fast cuts from films like "Requiem For A Dream," "Pi" and "Black Swan" creates a dizzying effect, especially when listened to through headphones. It would be hard to watch if it weren't so engrossing.

Cannes 2012: Reality | Review

Garrone Explores Religious Devotion via Society’s Addiction to Reality Television
Gloriously produced and appropriately unhinged, Italian filmmaker Matteo Garrone returns for his second trip to the Cannes Competition with this compelling network of topical and important ideas. Pulling from the handbooks of recent films about fame and reality television (i.e. The Truman Show, which it inverts, and Sara Goldfarb’s addiction meltdown in Requiem for a Dream), there’s a Buñuelian scent that wonders into the air around the midpoint that tips off the more devious agenda at play. Eventually, Garrone’s film exposes an endearing kinship to Visconti’s morose Death in Venice. Not as elegant as Visconti, nor as keen as Buñuel, Garrone’s film is, nonetheless, one that holds its weight in this company.
In the drawn out set-up, we meet Luciano (Aniello Arena) who, along with his family, seems to have a slightly more »

Review: Mother’S Day

Mother’S Day: First Look -Robg.
Let’s just get this out of the way right off the bat. Mother’S Day is a very unpleasant movie. I tend not to enjoy this particular sub-genre of horror movies that consist of films like Last House On The Left or Funny Games. I completely respect and understand their importance, but these are not the types of movies I break out on a Friday night when I have friends over for some beers and fun.
That said, Mother’S Day is by far the best of this sub-genre of horror movies. It’s by far the best film Darren Lynn Bousman has directed. And it’s also the best ensemble cast you’re probably ever going to see in a genre film of this sort. And while that praise makes it sound like the film is flawless, it’s definitely not perfect. »

Icons Exclusive Interview: Director Darren Lynn Bousman
11 May 2012 9:46 PM, PDT | iconsoffright.com | See recent Icons of Fright news »
*Editor’s note: This interview originally appeared on Icons Of Fright’s sister site Massive Hysteria back in September of 2010. With this week’s DVD/Blu-Ray releases of both Mother’S Day and 11-11-11, we thought we’d present it again to the Icons audience completely unedited and uncut. Check it!
Considering director Darren Lynn Bousman’s impressive body of work, which spans over 3 Saw sequels, the crazy rock musical Repo! The Genetic Opera, an episode of NBC’s short lived Fear Itself TV series and the upcoming remake of Mother’S Day, it’s a surprise that we never got him in the hot seat for an extensive Icons Of Fright interview. So, with the launch of Massive Hysteria, we decided that he would make for the ideal interviewee to kick things off in style!

Justice League Movie: Plot, Cast & Who Should Direct
9 May 2012 8:01 AM, PDT | Obsessed with Film | See recent Obsessed with Film news »
With “The Avengers” making more money in a day than the yearly output of the entire Eurozone, the movie executives at Warner Bros must be looking for a way to cash in on their similar grown-men-in-spandex comic book franchise.
After many false starts and half-baked ideas, Warner Bros currently have no firm plans for a “Justice League” movie. But you have to imagine it must be coming soon given The Avengers’ success.
What Culture is here to give them a shortlist of who should play who, what the storyline should be and who should helm this grossly expensive corporate cash in. It’s lucky they have us really, or what else would they do?

Saoirse Ronan, Jennifer Connelly Join 'Noah,' Josh Duhamel In Nicholas Sparks Adaptation
26 April 2012 3:58 PM, PDT | Fandango | See recent Fandango news »
For the past week or so, there have been rumors circulating that Jennifer Connelly and Saoirse Ronan were in talks to join Darren Aronofsky's Noah. The Biblical epic already has Russell Crowe attached to play the lead role. Today, Paramount Adam Goodman confirmed the additions of Connelly and Ronan. Connelly will play Noah's wife while Ronan's role is still a bit unclear. There's also a villain role that has been floating around for a while that has Liam Neeson's name attached, but that hasn't been confirmed yet. Aronofsky describes the addition as a "perfect combination of casting." He previously worked with Connelly on Requiem for a Dream back in 2000 while Connelly and Crowe teamed on Ron Howard's Oscar-winning A Beautiful Mind....

Jennifer Connelly And Saoirse Ronan Join Russell Crowe In Aronofsky's Noah
26 April 2012 7:08 AM, PDT | cinemablend.com | See recent Cinema Blend news »
Earlier this month, we learned that Paramount had set the release date for Darren Aronofsky's Noah for March 2014. The lengthy wait for the adaptation of the classic Old Testament story will likely give us plenty of time to wrap our minds around the idea of a bible-focused Aronofsky story. In the meantime, some interesting new details have emerged about the project, including cast additions and the film's targeted rating. When I think of Aronofsky, I think Black Swan and Requiem For a Dream, which leads to a sort of squirming sensation and the strange combination of the desire to re-watch these movies and never watch them again. I'm never quite sure which comes through louder. Probably the former. Regardless, the idea of a film that focuses on Noah as told by Aronofsky is intriguing, to say the least. Add in Russell Crowe's involvement as star, and there's even »
Jennifer Connelly & Saoirse Ronan Board Russell Crowe's Ark In Darren Aronofsky's 'Noah'
26 April 2012 5:22 AM, PDT | The Playlist | See recent The Playlist news »
Rumors of their involvement have been circulating for the last week or so, and it looks like things are now set in place with Paramount honcho Adam Goodman confirming the addition of Jennifer Connelly and Saoirse Ronan to Darren Aronofsky's "Noah" for what he describes as a "perfect combination of casting."
The two actresses join Russell Crowe who will star as a man who has become disillusioned with the way humans have treated the planet and its animals, and then builds one helluva boat. No word on exactly which roles Connelly and Ronan will be taking, but Noah was a married man with three wedded sons, so there's plenty of female roles to go around. We're presuming Connelly is in line to play Mrs. Noah for what will be a reunion with Aronofsky after their time together on "Requiem For A Dream."
There's also a villain role of some sort floating around, »

What We Got…
Having produced four Batman movies in the space of eight years, Warner Bros. found their lucrative feature film series lying in tatters following the disastrous release of the Joel Schumacher-directed sequel Batman & Robin in the summer of 1997. Despite turning a profit, the overtly toyetic, neon-soaked abomination met with a deservedly hostile reception from fans, critics and audiences alike, and it was clear to all and sundry that the ailing franchise was in desperate need of an overhaul. However, due to the fall-out from Batman & Robin, it would take another eight years for that to be achieved...

Jennifer Connelly and Saoirse Ronan Confirmed For Darren Aronofsky’s PG-13 ‘Noah’
25 April 2012 4:00 PM, PDT | The Film Stage | See recent The Film Stage news »
Despite some denied rumors just earlier this month, we’ve got official casting for Darren Aronofsky‘s big-budget, edgy re-telling of the Noah story. But first, according to this new report it won’t be too edgy, as Paramount has confirmed they are shooting for a PG-13 MPAA rating. With a $125 million budget and a tentpole March release, it’s no surprise they’ve gone this route. It’ll mark the director’s return to this arena, with The Fountain being the last of his films to nab that rating.
Moving on, THR‘s conversation with Paramount President Adam Goodman also revealed that Saoirse Ronan and Jennifer Connelly have been locked down to star alongside Russell Crowe in the “big, robust production” that “will have tremendous scale.” He added that the “remarkable adventure” won’t be “what you think of when you think of Darren, but it will be very »

Blunt Joins Cruise in 'Kill,' Connelly Rumored for 'Noah,' 'Muppets 2' Talk and Vaughn Eyes 'Rockford'
17 April 2012 1:28 PM, PDT | Rope of Silicon | See recent Rope Of Silicon news »
Emily Blunt is in talks to join Tom Cruise in All You Need is Kill directed by Doug Liman (The Bourne Identity) and adapted on the graphic novel of the same name. The story is said to be in the vein of Groundhog Day with a twist, centering on a soldier in a war against aliens who finds himself reliving his last day over and over after being killed. Through the training and battles he experiences in these time loops, he becomes a better soldier. Blunt will play another soldier who fights alongside Cruise. The same report also says Blunt is among the top choices to star alongside Johnny Depp in the Warner Bros. remake The Thin Man with Emma Stone and Kristen Wiig also being among the top contenders. I already detailed that shortlist which you can read about here. [source] We recently learned Paramount dated Darren Aronofsky's Noah »

Jennifer Connelly to Join Darren Aronofsky's Noah
16 April 2012 5:30 PM, PDT | GeekTyrant | See recent GeekTyrant news »
According to a recent report, actress Jennifer Connelly is in negotiations to re-team with director Darren Aronofsky and Russell Crowe in the big-budget biblical movie Noah. Connelly worked with Aronofsky in Requiem For a Dream and with Crowe in A Beautiful Mind. If she's cast, she'll play Noan's wife, Naameh. Connelly is a beautiful, talented actress, who I'm sure will end up being great in the movie.
It's also reported that Hanna star Saoirse Ronan is in talks to join the movie as well, but there's no word on what character she'll play. Perhaps she'll be one of the wives of Noah's three sons?
As we previously reported, this is a project that Aronofsky has been very passionate about. He's already made a comic book adaptation. According to the director, the inspiration for Noah came from a 1976 Sunn Pictures documentary called In Search of Noah's Ark that he watched when he was kid, »

Jennifer Connelly Re-Teams with Darren Aronofsky on Noah
15 April 2012 3:28 AM, PDT | WorstPreviews.com | See recent Worst Previews news »
Darren Aronofsky is currently hard at work on his upcoming big-budget, biblical film "Noah," which will star Russell Crowe as the title character. Now comes word that Jennifer Connelly, who previously worked with Aronofsky on "Requiem for a Dream," is in final negotiations to join the cast as Noah's wife, Naameh. The helmer is planning for "Noah" to be a dark movie about, what he calls, the second best-known ship. "Since I was a kid, I have been moved and inspired by the story of Noah and his family's journey," Aronofsky recently stated. "The imaginations of countless generations have sparked to this epic story of faith. It's my hope that I can present a window into Noah's passion and perseverance for the silver screen." John Logan (Gladiator, Hugo, Skyfall) recently come on board to re-write the script. "Noah" is set to hit theaters on March 28th, 2014. »
Jennifer Connelly Boards Aronofsky’s Noah
14 April 2012 9:45 PM, PDT | Beyond Hollywood | See recent Beyond Hollywood news »
Now that Darren Aronofsky has finally landed his Noah in Russell Crowe, he’s looking at re-teaming with his “Requiem for a Dream” star Jennifer Connelly to play the film’s female lead, a character name Naameh. If she signs on, Connelly would also be re-teaming with Crowe, with whom she co-starred in Ron Howard’s “A Beautiful Mind” way back in 2001. Since it worked out so well the first time (she won an Oscar for playing Crowe’s wife), why not do it again? Apparently Aronofsky’s version of Noah won’t be like your father’s Noah. (Assuming he has one. I can’t actually think of a movie solely based on Noah before, but I could be wrong.) Aronofsky is said to be going for an “edgier tone”, which apparently includes highlighting “Noah’s love for alcohol, particularly wine”. Hey, if God came down and told me »

Jennifer Connelly To Re-Team With Darren Aronofsky For ‘Noah’; Saoirse Ronan Wanted
14 April 2012 6:42 AM, PDT | The Film Stage | See recent The Film Stage news »
With a release date finally set and a lead secured, more casting is coming in for Darren Aronofsky‘s big-budget, edgy re-telling of the Noah story. The Tracking Board is reporting that Aronofsky’s Requiem For a Dream star Jennifer Connelly has begun negotiations to take the female lead in the film. She would play Russell Crowe‘s wife, Naameh. This would also mark another re-team for the actress, after playing Crowe’s love interest in A Beautiful Mind.
Reports also indicate that Paramount wants Saoirse Ronan for a supporting role. If I recall from my early Sunday school days, Noah had three sons who each had wives. Considering there aren’t many other human characters in this story, I’d have to assume she’d be considering one of those roles.
Aronofsky wrote the screenplay with Ari Mandel, deciding to portray the titular Biblical hero as “a man who »

Just yesterday, we heard that Darren Aronofsky's Noah (based on the director's graphic novel, which adapts the classic Bible story of Noah's Ark) was slated for a March 2014 release by Paramount Pictures/New Regency.

Darren Aronofsky's Noah Gets A 2014 Release Date
13 April 2012 3:14 PM, PDT | cinemablend.com | See recent Cinema Blend news »
Darren Aronofsky is likely known for the darker tone of his movies, with films like Requiem For a Dream, and more recently Black Swan among his directing credits. This causes me to wonder what we might expect from Paramount Pictures and New Regency.s Noah, which Aronosky is set to direct. We learned back in February that the film was happening, and that Russell Crowe was in talks to play the famous ark-builder depicted in the Old Testament of the bible. And as of last month, the film was scheduled to begin production this July. Now it looks like Paramount has a release date set for it, but don.t expect to see it on the big screen anytime soon. In fact, we.ll be waiting nearly two years for this one to hit theaters. The release date for Noah is set for March 28, 2014. As Deadline notes, the film will »
