NASA Thinks You Should Know Apollo 18 Isn’t Real

When the Weinstein Co. first announced their Apollo 18 project last year, they sent out a press release stating that Russian producer Timur Bekmambetov had discovered actual Apollo 18 footage that would be incorporated in their “documentary.” Just three hours later, the studio retracted the release with a new one that curiously did not mention the footage. But then they released a trailer for Apollo 18 that opened by claiming “the following is the recovered footage from Apollo 18.” Confusing much? On the eve of the film’s release, NASA is finally coming forward to talk about Apollo 18 .

1988 George Lucas Would Totally Hate 2011 George Lucas

Back in 1988, in testimony before Congress, one of Hollywood’s most successful, beloved and influential filmmaker-moguls expressed deep concern for a disturbing trend sweeping the movie industry. “People who alter or destroy works of art and our cultural heritage for profit or as an exercise of power are barbarians,” this filmmaker said, “and if the laws of the United States continue to condone this behavior, history will surely classify us as a barbaric society.” Damn straight, George Lucas .

REVIEW: Overstyled Gainsbourg: A Heroic Life Fumbles Singer-Songwriter’s Myth

The bold, relatively brief life of Serge Gainsbourg, the French singer, songwriter and svengali who died in 1991, is twice removed from the story told by Gainsbourg: A Heroic Life . First-time writer and director Joann Sfar has said that polishing the fine points of that life — ceding to biographical “truth” — was of no interest to him. A top-flight fan and best-selling comic book artist, Sfar was intent on avoiding the brash outlines of a biopic in favor of a certain sort of homage, the tender evocation of style and personality in place of strict chronology and narrative arc. A parallel determination to inhabit his hero’s life with an intensely personal, interpretive gusto bends the film back into a more conventional shape; the big moments play out with the giddy gratification of fan fiction. Both abstract and very specific, Sfar’s inspirations abound such that they frequently overshadow those of his subject.

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

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.

Don Cheadle is Captain Planet, Bitches!

Children of the ’90s were aghast to hear there was a live-action Captain Planet film reboot in the works, courtesy of the producers behind the Transformers movies. Even the good people at Funny or Die took heed, making their own version of what a live-action Captain Planet movie would look like… if Don Cheadle (in horrifying blue face paint and the Captain’s trademark green mullet) played the part of the eco-friendly superhero, with folks like Brenda Song and Pedro from Napoleon Dynamite onboard as his multi-culti band of annoying young do-gooders.

And They’re (Almost) Off: The Preliminary 2011-12 Oscar Index

Ready or not, the Oscar Equinox is upon us: The Venice Film Festival is underway, the Telluride Film Festival launches this weekend, and the Toronto International Film Festival commences a week from tomorrow. Amid that crop of movies will be the bulk of this year’s awards-season contenders, which will compete against an elite class already having opened in theaters and another fistful yet to come this winter. Same game, new players. And Movieline’s redoubtable Oscar Index has the preliminary breakdown of who to watch.

Bromantic Shenanigans Get Dark in Exclusive Images from I Melt With You

I Melt With You , Mark Pellington ‘s dark — and I mean way dark — meditation on midlife crises and male bonding, proved to be decidedly difficult stuff for many critics Sundance Film Festival debut last January. Back then I wrote in favor of giving its existential punk romanticism a chance to make its case (especially if you’re a fan of folks like Jeremy Piven , who turns in a great face-melting performance). You’ll finally get your chance to weigh in on the IMWY debate this fall as the film makes its way to VOD and limited theatrical release; get in the spirit with three new stills that highlight the trajectory of Thomas Jane, Rob Lowe, Christian McKay, and Piven’s bromantic weekend of horrors.
