Joaquin Phoenix Considers Coming Out of Retirement For P.T. Anderson’s Scientology Film

Posted on April 13, 2011 by | Leave a comment

I’m Still Here star Joaquin Phoenix might cancel his early retirement to co-star in Paul Thomas Anderson’s much anticipated Scientology film, which was at one point titled The Master . Philip Seymour Hoffman will star as a charismatic leader a la L. Ron Hubbard; Phoenix would play Freddie Sutton, “an alcoholic drifter who becomes [Hoffman’s onscreen] right-hand man only to begin questioning his manipulative mentor.” Most importantly, this casting development brings us hope that the film, which was postponed last September before acquiring a 25-year-old financier , will actually be made.

9 More Directors Who Should Shoot Their Next Film on an iPhone

Posted on January 11, 2011 by | Leave a comment

News recently broke that acclaimed Old Boy director Park Chan-Wook shot his new thirty minute horror film on an iPhone. The film, Paranmanjang , had a $130,000 budget and will be released in nine cinemas nationwide. Yep, welcome to 2011! Sure, Chan-Wook is a solid filmmaker and it may be interesting to see how he handles an iPhone movie, but all the same I’d prefer that great filmmakers not get in the habit of shooting movies on cell phones. But since trends seem to operate independent of my opinion, it’s always good to take a look at the silver lining. With that in mind, here are nine major filmmakers who might actually benefit from making their next film on an iPhone.

5 Surefire Roles to Give Charles Grodin His Proper Comeback

Posted on June 2, 2010 by | Leave a comment

Hey, so that Midnight Run sequel you haven’t been waiting for is really happening, huh? Deadline reports that original co-star Charles Grodin — who had been left out of the initial sequel plans — has been contacted and would likely consider returning. Grodin hasn’t appeared on screen since 1994 — and no, his brief showing in the forgettable Zach Braff film, The Ex doesn’t count — instead spending his time being a parent and volunteering as an advocate for poor, first-time offenders. Still, God love Midnight Run , but if Grodin is ready to return to feature films, shouldn’t he have something better planned than an unnecessary sequel? Here are five roles he should consider.
