Michael Shannon, Jessica Chastain Nab First Sundance Deal

Posted on January 18, 2011 by | Leave a comment

So you might have heard Sundance gets underway this week, but Sony Pictures Classics isn’t wasting any time on the acquisitions front: The distributor has picked up the Michael Shannon/Jessica Chastain psychological thriller Take Shelter , which premieres in competition Jan. 24. CAA — which represents virtually the entire principal cast as well as writer-director Jeff Nichols — sealed the deal with two days to spare before the fest’s opening night. And thus it falls off Movieline’s annual bidding-war forecast, also coming soon. Congrats to all.

J-E-T-S, Jets, Jets, Jets: The Weinstein Brothers Have Their Priorities Straight

Posted on January 18, 2011 by | Leave a comment

Tensions were running high at Movieline HQ in the lead up to our Golden Globes liveblog on Sunday night , because there stood a chance that the NFL playoff game between the New York Jets and New England Patriots might run past 8 p.m. on the East Coast. Naturally, we planned to flip over the Globes (or at least that’s what we told everyone), but it appears Harvey and Bob Weinstein had a different idea.

Mary Murphy on Returning to So You Think You Can Dance and Whether She Watched Last Season

Posted on January 18, 2011 by | Leave a comment

While last season of So You Think You Can Dance brought us the verve, artistry, and passion we’ve long expected of TV’ s finest reality competition , it lacked that locomotive of chutzpah and love named Mary Murphy. The 52-year-old ballroom champ and choreographer lends a professional, yet maternal conviction to a show that thrives on supportive energy — and better yet, she’s an addicting presence on the judges’ panel. Last week, Fox announced that Murphy would return to the show for its eighth season this summer, displacing Mia Michaels and rejoining Nigel Lythgoe and Adam Shankman. Phew, y’all.

‘Anybody Got a Match?’: The 8 Best Smokers on Film

Posted on January 18, 2011 by | Leave a comment

As evidenced by the packed patios at this weekend’s Golden Globe parties , cigarette smoking is alive and well in Hollywood — but, ironically, not in the films made by these pack-a-day producers and talent. Because it would be a crime for Tinsel Town to advocate a potentially deadly habit that they actively advocate in their down-time, right? Whatever. Let’s take a moment to remember a time when Hollywood was less hypocritical, cigarettes were a cool onscreen accessory (not just coffin nails) and actors made smoking an art.
