Timeline: The Long, Tortured History of Orson Welles’ Lost Film The Other Side of the Wind

Word hit this week that Orson Welles’ famous lost, unseen film The Other Side of the Wind might finally see the light of day soon. It sounds like great news; people close to the production and who have seen footage say that Welles’ final film, which stars John Huston as a controlling director, is a potential masterpiece. Now, however, Welles’ former partner (and current rights-holder) Oja Kodar has

The Rite’s Mikael Hafstrom on His Exorcism Thriller and the Still-Shelved Shanghai

Director Mikael Hafstrom ( 1408, Derailed ) was initially skeptical of taking on the exorcism thriller The Rite , about a young priest (Colin O’D onoghue) who learns the craft of ghost — okay, demon — busting from Sir Anthony Hopkins in Rome. Then he read the non-fiction book which provided the basis for its story based from American priest (and guest Movieline critic ) Father Gary Thomas, and found that he could bring more to the table than the schlocky thrills found in most other genre offerings.

Hobo with a Shotgun Star Rutger Hauer: ‘I’ve Been Underrated All My Life’

Forget Lizzie Olsen ; the breakout star of Sundance 2011 is clearly 67-year-old Rutger Hauer, who’s taken Park City by storm with his star turn in Jason Eisener’s grindhouse homage Hobo with a Shotgun . To celebrate the gory, tongue-in-cheek vigilante tale about — yes — a homeless hero with a shotgun, the Hobo folks hosted a thematically relevant Bloody Mary hour this morning where Hauer walked in wielding his titular firearm and regaled Movieline with six important revelations/life lessons:

Jesse Eisenberg Reponds to his ‘Oscar Nod’ and Stefon Can’t Finish His Lines: Two New SNL Clips

Two new SNL videos have emerged from Studio 8H on this lazy Wednesday afternoon: The first highlights a pair of promos for this weekend’s Jesse Eisenberg-hosted show, where Bill Hader congratulates The Social Network star for his Oscar nomination. Standard stuff. Not the second video, though, which features a rare look at the SNL dress rehearsal. Have you ever wanted to see Seth Meyers sarcastically berate the crowd for not responding correctly to his “Update” jokes — a sin which means that joke will not air during the live broadcast? Here’s your chance! Also, if you think that Hader has difficulty getting through his lines as Stefon on the live broadcasts, you really need to watch how hard it is for him at dress rehearsal.

Jay-Z and Will Smith Officially Discussing Annie Remake for Willow Smith

The definition of irony for Wednesday, Jan. 26: The idea of Willow Smith singing “It’s a Hard Knock Life” on the big screen. What was rumored last week has now become more official: Jay-Z has teamed with Overbrook Entertainment (read: Will Smith and Jada Pinkett-Smith) for a joint venture that will develop television and film properties. First up: An Annie remake at Sony Entertainment with Smith’s daughter Willow in the lead role. “The time is right to bring back Annie to the big screen,” said Columbia Pictures President Doug Belgrad in a statement. “Of course, we’re true believers in Willow’s talent and believe she will be perfect in this role.” Maybe, but I imagine it will be hard for her to whip that Annie-approved perm .
