Greta Gerwig and Adam Brody to Close Venice Film Fest with Damsels in Distress

Posted on July 26, 2011 by | Leave a comment

Though the full schedule for the Venice Film Festival comes out Thursday, we already know what will close the gondolier-friendly celebration: Whit Stillman’s Damsels in Distress , which concerns “young women at an East Coast university, the transfer student that joins their group and the young men they become entangled with.” The comedy — which stars Movieline heroine Greta Gerwig and Adam Brody — premieres Sept. 10, after the awards ceremony. George Clooney’s The Ides of March opens the fest on Aug. 31. [ Deadline ]

When Steven Spielberg Met His Superfan: Relive the Cutest Moment at Comic-Con

Posted on July 23, 2011 by | Leave a comment

Thousands of fanboys (and girls) travel to Comic-Con each year to breathe the same air as their pop culture heroes, even if that means spending all day with 7,000 strangers in a San Diego Convention Center auditorium. The crowding was worth it though for anyone in yesterday’s phenomenal Tintin panel — where Steven Spielberg broke news of Jurassic Park 4 and offered inspirational wisdom to his audience — especially for one lucky fan who was spontaneously welcomed onstage by the great filmmaker. Let’s relive the adorable moment.

Friday Box Office: Surprising Captain America Slays Potter

Posted on July 23, 2011 by | Leave a comment

Not bad at all: Captain America: The First Avenger defied the diminishing returns of this summer’s comic-book crop (and its own relatively modest expectations) to claim box-office victory on its opening day. That’s not the outcome most of Hollywood expected in the aftermath of last week’s Potter -palooza windfall; indeed the boy wizard’s final film installment fell dramatically off its record opening weekend pace, with a drop of more than 70 percent foreseen by tomorrow night. Oh — and Friends With Benefits opened as well. Your Friday Box Office is here.

Watch Robert Pattinson in the New Bel Ami Trailer: Dandylicious Liaisons

Posted on July 23, 2011 by | Leave a comment

Robert Pattinson dons dandy tails, a dandy hat, dandy mannerisms, and dandy unintentional hilarity in the new trailer for Declan Donnellan and Nick Ormerod’s adaptation of Guy de Maupassant’s Bel Ami . Yay. He also quivers like Daniel Plainview in one shot, and before he can yell, “I’ve abandoned my child!” like a sessy vampire, you’ll have visions of Dangerous Liaisons as you watch Uma Thurman wear period costuming.

Simon Pegg Not a Fan of 3-D in Harry Potter

Posted on July 23, 2011 by | Leave a comment

“Really enjoyed HP7 ,” Simon Pegg wrote on Twitter earlier on Friday afternoon, “and credit where it’s due the 3D did an extraordinary job of making everything really dark, blurry and difficult to see.” Ouch, Simon! If Pegg thinks the 3-D in The Deathly Hallows Part 2 is bad, just wait until he gets a load of the crappy post-conversion third dimension in Captain America: First Avenger . Quick warning as you head into the weekend: search out the 2-D version. [ @simonpegg ]

Naked Push-Ups, Time Warps and 7 Other Revelations About Ridley Scott’s Prometheus

Posted on July 22, 2011 by | Leave a comment

There’s a reason you don’t know much about Prometheus , the Ridley Scott sci-fi project that was originally conceived as a prequel to Alien : the director doesn’t want you assuming anything about the movie before sitting down in theaters next June. Even so, Fox began promoting the 2012 blockbuster at yesterday’s Comic-Con with a press conference and panel featuring Scott, screenwriter Damon Lindelof and stars Charlize Theron and Noomi Rapace. (Both Scott and Rapace appeared via satellite) So, just how do you promote a movie without giving away even the most minor plot details? Very, very carefully. Even so, Movieline managed to gather nine new bits of information about Prometheus , the most secretive project since Super 8 .
