New Films From Roman Polanski, George Clooney Highlight 68th Venice Film Festival Lineup

Posted on July 28, 2011 by | Leave a comment

When Toronto International Film Festival organizers revealed the first chunk of their schedule earlier this week, there were some notable omissions: the highly anticipated Tinker Tailer Soldier Spy and Roman Polanski’s Carnage , for instance. Seems those films were already packing bags for Italy. Both will debut in Venice in September, along with The Ides of March and previously reported Damsels in Distress , which will open and close the festival, respectively. The biggest fall movie not going to Venice or Toronto? Clint Eastwood’s J. Edgar , though perhaps that one is earmarked for the New York Film Festival. Click through for the full Venice lineup.

Ben Affleck Responds as House Republicans Forge Unity With Inappropriate Clip From The Town

Posted on July 28, 2011 by | Leave a comment

If or when you ever think things are irretrievably toxic in Hollywood, at least keep in mind that its barons get things accomplished. (Even if those things occasionally mean Jack and Jill .) Not so much out in Washington, D.C., where the ongoing stalemate over the debt-ceiling increase has escalated to unprecedented levels of partisan brinksmanship. Now we’re hearing about Hollywood actually influencing the rhetoric among House Republicans — and not in a good way.

Celebrate Mick Jagger’s 68th Birthday with His Performance in Performance

Posted on July 27, 2011 by | Leave a comment

Sixty-eight years ago today, a Hirschfeld caricature named Mick Jagger was born. In addition to inventing our current perception of rock stars, the Rolling Stones frontman has produced some of the darkest material ever to permeate the mainstream. While you could revisit the harrowing Altamont doc Gimme Shelter or Martin Scorsese’s 2008 concert film Shine a Light to celebrate Mick’s special occasion, Movieline is instead turning back to Mick’s performance in the once-abhorred, now-revered 1970 movie Performance . Check out the slickest Mick ever ahead!

And so Movieline concludes today’s birthday-celebration marathon — previously spotlighting the finest film work of both Dame Helen Mirren and Sir Mick Jagger — as any self-respecting movie site would: By commemorating the day 83 years ago when the world welcomed one Stanley Kubrick into existence. This would change everything .

In Honor of Kevin Smith’s Pilot, 5 Filmmakers We’d Rather See Host a Talk Show

Posted on July 27, 2011 by | Leave a comment

Today, Vulture reported that outspoken filmmaker , discriminated plane passenger and interview over-sharer Kevin Smith is developing a half-hour syndicated talk show. Which is fine, and honestly, a naturally-fitting format for Smith. No disrespect to Smith — even if we did once resolve to silence him by wiring shut his mouth — but he already has podcast and Twitter platforms to preach from, and we’d rather see a few other filmmakers host a talk show first. Take a look at our suggestions and share your own in the comment section below.

A Night of Too Many Stars? Watch the Trailer for New Year’s Eve

Posted on July 27, 2011 by | Leave a comment

It’s one thing to read through the slow drip of casting notices about an omnibus Hollywood romantic comedy and think, “Well, this cast is getting gigantic.” It’s quite another to see it in action. So! Say hello to the trailer for New Year’s Eve , the non-sequel to Valentine’s Day that features no less than 20 famous people named in the onscreen credits. Was that Halle Berry?

VIDEO: Steve Carell Wants His Head to Look Huge on Crazy Stupid Love Posters

Posted on July 26, 2011 by | Leave a comment

Ever wonder why some actors appear comically oversized next to their castmates on movie posters? It could have something to do with each actors’ popularity, billing or — as evidenced by a new Funny or Die video featuring Steve Carell — strict contractual demands. Watch the former Office star fight for prime positioning on the Crazy Stupid Love poster (“Would you rather see Ryan Gosling’s face or mine?”) based on an argument that involves pancakes, Seth Rogen and hilarious never-before-seen artwork for Carell’s first feature, Curly Sue .
