Kenneth Lonergan has finally finished Margaret , his long, long, long delayed follow-up to You Can Count on Me , which stars Anna Paquin as a flirtatious teen who may or may not have caused a fatal bus accident. Allison Janney, Matt Damon, Mark Ruffalo and Matthew Broderick (who reportedly fronted Lonergan $1 million to finish the project) co-star. Let’s take a look at the trailer for the drama and decide whether it was worth the six-year wait.

Seth Rogen and Will Reiser on 50/50 and How Life Sometimes Needs a Rewrite

Posted on September 1, 2011 by | Leave a comment

They say to write what you know. Unfortunately, in the case of screenwriter Will Reiser, what he knew was cancer. Six years ago, Reiser was diagnosed with cancer in his back, and — after surgery to remove the tumor — decided to handle the life-changing situation the only way he knew how: by finding the humor. Thus, 50/50 was born.

Elizabeth Olsen on Martha Marcy May Marlene and Growing Up in Hollywood

Posted on August 31, 2011 by | Leave a comment

One of the biggest discoveries you’ll make this year — and one of this fall’s class of neophyte Oscar contenders — is 22-year-old Elizabeth Olsen . The younger sister of Mary-Kate and Ashley may have earned her first credits as a child actor in her siblings’ tween franchise-building movies, but she launches her very serious film career this October in the Sundance award-winning Martha Marcy May Marlene , Sean Durkin’s deeply observed drama-thriller about a shell-shocked young woman (Olsen) who reunites with her family after spending years under the influence of a sexually-abusive cult.
