Clint Eastwood’s Invisible Obama routine was the talk of the 2012 Republican National Convention, and it caught the attention of the Commander-in-Chief himself. Before Mitt Romney’s RNC speech last night, the actor, director and ardent GOPer made a rambling speech that featured him talking to “Obama” in an empty chair. The President’s response? A picture – sent from @BarackObama, run by his campaign – of him sitting in a chair marked The President. The caption: “This seat’s taken.” Eastwood’s unorthodox speech instantly spawned memes galore, not to mention an @InvisibleObama Twitter account, which already has more than 47,000 followers. No word if Clint and/or Mitt have friended the invisible POTUS on there, but his bit – for better or worse – was unquestionably a highlight of the RNC. “So I’ve got Mr. Obama sitting here … Mr. President, how do you handle promises you’ve made?” the 82-year-old Oscar winner asked the chair at one point. You can see for yourself below … but spoiler alert, it gave no response.
Kidding! Michael Shannon was born to play oddball creepy-types, and I mean that in the best way possible. So his turn as Richard Kuklinski, the notorious contract killer from New Jersey known as The Iceman who killed for sport and for gangsters for three decades, seems fitting. Anyone else feeling curious pangs of sympathy for the Mafia hitman-slash-family man who claimed to have murdered over 100 men over the course of his “career?” Kuklinski grew up in the Jersey suburbs with abusive parents before beating a bully to death at the age of 14; it was his first murder. His double life as loving father and husband and ice-cold killer is one of those fascinatingly true tales (read the gory details here , literally) and Shannon is one of a handful of actors who could probably pull off the dichotomy. So I’m morbidly curious about The Iceman , even as the head shots and stabby glimpses abound in this first trailer. Shannon and his various period wiseguy hair co-star with Winona Ryder, James Franco, David Schwimmer, and Ray Liotta. Oh, also? CHRIS EVANS AS AN ICE CREAM TRUCK-DRIVING HITMAN NAMED MISTER SOFTEE. Worth the price of admission alone, no? Based on the book The Iceman: The True Story of a Cold-Blooded Killer , The Iceman will debut at the Venice and Toronto film fests. [ Apple ]
Now that John Hillcoat ‘s brutal Prohibition tale Lawless has hit screens ( read Movieline’s review here ) you can more vividly imagine the testosterone-and-moonshine fueled atmosphere that might have permeated the set, where, as Lawless legend has it, co-stars Shia LaBeouf and Tom Hardy had an unscripted scuffle. Nevertheless, while making the press rounds Hillcoat and LaBeouf both tried to squash rumors of the brotherly beef. Just a little innocent horseplay gone wrong? LaBeouf and Hardy play Jack and Forrest Bondurant, two of a trio of bootlegging brothers who come to blows with the law (and, sometimes, each other) as they run a moonshine empire out of their hill country home base. A third brother, Howard (played by Jason Clarke) rounds out the sibling dynamic, but it’s the strained relationship between the cardigan-clad family head Forrest and young, headstrong Jack that provides the bulk of the dramatic push and pull. As the story goes, one day on set LaBeouf knocked out Hardy and Hardy “never did that roughhouse stuff with me again.” The tangle first came to light in LaBeouf’s fantastically unfiltered Details interview , though that was, understandably, overshadowed by his revelation about hooking up with Transformers co-star Megan Fox and other assorted truth bombs. Then, while promoting his MMA pic Warrior , Hardy dropped a few cheeky quotes about the incident. “I got knocked out by Shia LaBeouf, actually,” Hardy said to journalists, as recounted by Den of Geek . “In Wettest County , apparently .” Apparently! So now comes Hillcoat to set the record straight. “There was this kind of, like, this challenging brotherly thing that starts going on with him,” Hillcoat admitted in an interview with Yahoo . “But yeah, there was a tussle, but it wasn’t quite the thing that was described.” LaBeouf, who’s yet again spilled so many juicier, more distracting quotes of late — from his acid-dropping Method acting to his embracing of real sex in Lars Von Trier’s Nymphomaniac to his maybe-joke that he got the job by sending in a sex tape — tells MTV that the fistfight was borne out of love. “That was straight love,” he said. “There was a lot of love on that set in general. There was a lot of aggression in me and a lot of aggression on [Hardy’s] side. We were playing brothers. There was a constant finger-in-the-ear [teasing] thing going on for a while.” [ Yahoo , MTV ]
If the last Presidential race produced a fine docudrama, Game Change , based on the equally fine book, surely this year’s dust-up between the elephant and the donkey is worth dramatizing. Therefore, , submitted for your approval, is Movieline ’s notion of ideal casting and concepts for the 2012 GOP slate, complete with courtiers, financiers and mountebanks. Tentatively, we’re calling it Liar’s Poker . Let’s start at the outer circle of the power nexus and gradually move inward. John Sununu: Newspersons on the convention floor insisted no one was more excited during Wednesday night’s vitriolic Dem-bashing session than the former New Hampshire governor. We’d like to see the corpulent billy goat played by James Gandolfini, with a pursed scowl and a goiterous prosthetic under his chin. Scott Walker: The Wisconsin governor — who escaped being recalled after his campaign to disenfranchise that dangerous enemy, the state’s educators — could only be played by Vincent Kartheiser. The Mad Men actor would need to do it in Pete Campbell mode, perhaps removing what shreds of humanity and judgment Campbell exhibits to show that paradoxical phenomenon, a dead-eyed zealot. Sheldon Adelson: Shortly after Romney announced the ascension to running mate of Wisconsin Rep. Paul Ryan — don’t worry, we’re getting to him — the Wisconsin congressman jetted to Las Vegas to meet with the casino-owning plutocrat, who’s under investigation via the Corrupt Foreign Practices Act. In our movie, Adelson would be represented by a doctored hologram of Goldfinger Bond villain Gert Frobe . Charles Koch: While we’re stacking up shot callers, why not add in what we’ve always supposed was the cuddly Koch brother, played by The Colbert Report namesake and fellow Super PAC maestro Stephen Colbert (after a salt-and-pepper dye job). It could be a recurring role in the sequel — should the GOP win, Koch will be dictating a lot of policy behind the scenes, Nucky Thompson-style. Chris Christie: Speaking of Jersey devils, the Garden State’s governor reminds us oratorically of Broderick Crawford haranguing his fellow hicks in All the King’s Men . But to conjure up Christie’s trademark spasms of sputtering resentment, we’ll have to go with John Goodman in full Walter Sobchak mode from The Big Lebowski . Put him next to Louisiana Governor Bobby Jindal — is it too ethnocentric to suggest Dev Patel in age makeup as his re-enactor? — and you’ve got both sides of the big and small governor divide covered. Karl Rove: Could a smoke-filled room of Republican strategists be complete without the man Bush 43 — now only to be found on fading posters, milk cartons and brief, flatulent sizzle reels — called “Turd Blossom”? We like the idea of Philip Seymour Hoffman portraying Karl Rove. Paul Ryan: Now, if we’re really serious about licking socialism, about crushing the Ellsworth M. Tooheys and freedom haters, we need the party’s newly minted charismatic, Ryan himself. We need someone in his early 40s with an obviously fit torso, a beady-eyed, intense presence…Tom Cruise? They have the same falcon’s profile, a shared missionary zeal. But Cruise has been there, done that. He played a magnetic, striving Republican presidential wanna-be in the generally unloved Lions for Lambs . Why risk it? So, maybe Zachary Quinto? Smart actor, a screenwriter ( Margin Call ) of in his own right. But can he bring the sexy? Nah. A rehabbed Charlie Sheen? RPatz? Some wags have suggested Zach Woods, who plays the geeky middle manager Gabe on The Office , but again, he doesn’t have the pecs. Good Lord, Crispin Glover? Actually, it’s got to be Jake Gyllenhaal. Remember him in Rendition , telling his bloody-minded boss, Meryl Streep, “This is my first torture”? Jake has the chops to show the inner agonies of Ryan as the ideologue takes a spiritual haircut to bring his thoughts on abortion and even the budget in line with Romney’s non-positions. Dick Cheney: In a Kubrickian touch, we’ll show the Catholic deer hunter (his brag) shooting skeet on the White House lawn with his stooped and stolid Republican predecessor, played by Richard Dreyfuss, natch. Janna Ryan: Watching from nearby with a worried expression will be the 2012 vice presidential candidate’s pretty wife, Janna, who resembles Anne Coulter without the devouring rage and — well, let’s just keep this gentlemanly. Jessica Chastain, a veteran of the mute performance from working with Malick, can stand in. Ann Romney: Of course, there’s the presidential candidate’s wife in a poignant secondary role. Aces at pubic speaking, a courageous warrior against her afflictions, she’s deservedly popular. We like Felicity Huffman, fresh from Desperate Housewives , with some equitation lessons and a big jug of peroxide. Willard “Mitt” Romney: He is, of course, the key casting challenge. Playing the absence of human presence is a feat, and choosing someone who’s merely boring is a dangerous choice. Perhaps Stephen Collins, who’s a canny enough performer (e.g., The Three Stooges ) to make vapidity sing? How do you reveal the soul of a man who seemingly learned his affect from the dead presidents on Mt. Rushmore — a figure described by Chris Matthews after Ann Romney’s speech as “almost a statue of a person…a Conehead who doesn’t seem like an earthling”? Actually, what’s needed is a classic actor’s touch. Perhaps another hologram, deploying Montgomery Clift, just a shade less numbed than the victim of Nazism he played in Judgment at Nuremberg . The Cliftian genius at showing the searching, slightly haunted eyes, the brain-snatched stop-start verbal tics, and the nervous half-smile, has to win the day. Of course, we’ll need Mitt to sign off on that casting; we don’t want to see Clift, even in hologram form, getting summarily fired, as in “I’m going to go get someone else to provide that service to me.” So, there you have it — oh, shoot, we forgot Seamus. Somewhere out there must be a descendant of Nixon’s Irish setter, King Timahoe. Of course, that worthy was coddled around Camp David and the Rose Garden, and the Presidential pooch this time needs to be made of sterner stuff. So don’t bother to propose your dog for the gig unless it has the genes for a long afternoon in the wind.

Indian-born filmmaker Mira Nair said that 9/11 formed part of the inspiration for her latest film, The Reluctant Fundamentalist , which kicked off the Venice Film Festival Wednesday evening. Just days before the attacks, Nair won the festival’s top prize, the Golden Lion, for her much praised Monsoon Wedding and she left the fabled Italian city for the Toronto International Film Festival to promote the film when the attacks happened. Like other New York residents, she was stranded in the Canadian city following the tragic event, taking her a week to get back to NYC and her husband and son. When she did make it back, she felt an “otherness” in the post-9/11 period, a theme she explores in her latest feature. “It was quite shocking when I got back because it felt like images I had seen in my part of the world, refugee camps, helicopters, a sense of war, a war zone, and it was in our backyard,” she said in Venice Wednesday as reported by A.P. “And so suddenly, (New York) became a place where people who looked like us were ‘the other.’ And that was painful, and that was also part of the inspiration to try to make this film.” Based on the novel by Mohsin Hamid, British-born musician and actor Riz Ahmed plays Changez a gifted financial analyst whose allegiance to America is questioned following the 9/11 attacks. Changez travels to the Pakistani city of Lahore re-connecting with his routes. Liev Schreiber plays a journalist who interviews him in Lahore as a kidnapping crisis rages. Kate Hudson plays his girlfriend and Kiefer Sutherland plays his former Wall Street mentor in NYC flashback scenes. “[The novel is] essentially a dialogue between East and West,” Nair said in Venice. “”We all know there has been an enormous schism, a wall between East and West, since, in this last decade. So I sought very much in the dialogue between America and the Islamic world in The Reluctant Fundamentalist to really bring some sense of bridge-making, some sense of healing, a sense of community that goes beyond the stereotypes, goes beyond the myopia, goes beyond the ignorance.” [ Source: A.P. ]
“Sometimes, there’s a man, well, he’s the man for his time and place,” the molasses-and-whiskey voice of Sam Elliott says of The Dude in the Coen Brothers’ 1998 cult classic, The Big Lebowski . And thanks to filmmaker Jeff Feuerzeig , the time and place for the actual Dude who inspired the Dude will span a good 40 years at least. The Atlantic today posted a link to The Dude (Director’s Cut) , a 2011 documentary (in its entirety) by Feuerzeig ( The Devil and Daniel Johnston , The Real Rocky ) that traces the history of Jeff Dowd, a 1960s antiwar activist-turned-independent-film-promoter, who not only inspired Jeff Bridges’ accidental philosopher character in The Big Lebowski but helped the Coen Brothers distribute their first film, Blood Simple , in the 1980s. Dowd’s first taste of notoriety came in 1970 when he made headlines as one of the “Seattle Seven” — members of the Seattle Liberation Front who were indicted on charges of inciting a riot at the Federal Courthouse in downtown Seattle where 20 people were injured and 76 were arrested. (His arrest is cited in The Big Lebowski .) Dowd and his fellow defendants turned their fall trial into a media circus by hurling catcalls at the judge, and staging a courtroom walk-out. The judge eventually declared a mistrial but cited the Seattle Seven for contempt and they ultimately served three months in prison. In Feuerzeig’s film, Dowd also talks about how he landed in the film industry where he worked with Robert Redford on the embryonic stages of the Sundance Institute. According to IMDB, Dowd served as producer’s representative on Madonna’s breakthrough movie Desperately Seeking Susan and as a producer of the 1992 film Zebrahead .

How These Celebrities Knew Michael Jackson The term “six degrees of separation” in Hollyweird terms often seems almost non-existent at times. Everytime we turn around, a new couple or new pair of BFFs are popping up and revealing to have known each other for ages.

See if you can correctly guess which celeb is associated with MJ before peeping the pics being the page numbers: #3 Was rumored to have had an affair with an R&B banger who was also on his record label. #4 Is the former best friend of a prominent “socialite” and MJ’s goddaughter #5 Was at the forefront of one of the most memorable scandals in political history #8 Is known for her ratchet behavior If you didn’t get them all correct, don’t worry, youuuu are nooot alone. Check out a few more celebs and their surprising connections to the King of Pop when you hit the flip.
I hope the action in Harmony Korine’s Spring Breakers picks up after this scene. The film, which will premiere at the Venice Film Festival in September, is about four college girls — played by Selena Gomez , Vanessa Hudgens , Rachel Korine and Ashley Benson — get mixed up with an arms and drug dealer, played by a Kevin Federlinesque James Franco , after they rob a restaurant to fund their spring break vacation and land in jail. This listless and very blue-hued first clip from the movie appears to be setting up the hotties’ motivation for their lawlessness. Apparently, there’s nothing like the boredom and brown grass of small-town living to make criminal activity sound like a hoot. FIRST PEEK: Spring Breakers from MUSE Film on Vimeo .
