Director Jacques Audiard (right), Marion Cotillard and Matthias Schoenaerts in Cannes Thursday . It’s perhaps much too early to prognosticate on Palme d’Or contenders, but Jacques Audiard’s Rust and Bone has at least a decent shot at the festival’s top prize if initial audience reaction following Thursday’s press screening is any indicator. Starring Marion Cotillard and Bullhead actor Matthias Schoenaerts, the film follows Ali (Schoenaerts), who is suddenly put in charge of his 5-year-old son whom he barely knows. Without money, he makes his way to the south of France, where his sister lives. Though she and her husband are short on cash, they take them in and Ali finds work as a bouncer at a local nightclub. There, a brawl leads to a chance meeting between Ali and Stephanie (Cotillard), a self-confident beauty whom he takes home after she’s injured. While at work as an orca trainer in the days following, Stephanie suffers a life-changing accident and reaches out to Ali. “I was very excited after reading the script,” Cotillard said at today’s press conference for the film. “When a script moves me, I find that I immediately understand a character. Of course not completely, but I do understand.” Cotillard said she asked Audiard, who wrote the script with Thomas Bidegain (based on short stories by Craig Davidson), for help. “But he said he didn’t fully understand her either, so we were going to get to know her together…” [ OK, spoiler alert… ] While working at Marineland, Stephanie suffers an accident that results in her legs being amputated. Ali, who has only passed through life taking things as they come, helps Stephanie through her depression. To make money and exploit his natural physical prowess, he takes her with him to illegal fights where he’s a champion and the two grow a bond. “Matthias is like working with DiCaprio or a Daniel Day-Lewis. He’s of that ilk,” Cotillard said as her co-star smiled nervously. “There are no words to explain it. There’s this desire to explore which is something he very much has.” Indeed, if Rust and Bones is any indication, Schoenaerts may very well follow Cotillard’s career path to studio gigs. “There’s a lot of stuff moving. There’s stuff moving in the States, but I’m not in a hurry,” he said. Screen reported Thursday he is in talks to star in Hans Herbots’ thriller The Treatment . And Cotillard is teaming with fellow Oscar winner Asghar Farhadi ( A Separation ) on his next untitled film, spearheaded by Memento Films International. Audiard also offered up his critique of both actors saying Schoenaerts’ part almost went in a different direction. “When we finished the screenplay, I immediately thought of Marion,” said Audiard, who last screened at Cannes in 2009 with his Palme d’Or front-runner A Prophet . “As for Matthias’ character, we had originally thought of getting a non-professional actor — a boxer — but somehow it didn’t work. It was too realistic. But then I was shown Bullhead , and it was so great.” Despite the presence of violence throughout his film work, Audiard confessed a distaste for brutality — though there are most definitely some raw fight sequences in Rust and Bone . “I have a problem filming violence honestly which is strange because all my films contain violence,” Audiard said. “For this film we wanted the violence not to be too gory. I wanted Stephanie to admire [Ali’s] courage during the fighting and if it was too gory, I think it wouldn’t have worked.” Added Schoenaerts: ” Reconciliation is the biggest theme in this film — man and woman, father and child.” “The characters in this story are going undergoing tremendous changes,” Audiard continued. “Stephanie was an arrogant princess in the beginning of the story, but her misfortune causes her to re-examine herself. And Ali is going through a transformation too. He has a problem with words and relies only on his physical strength, but he learns simply to say, ‘I love you.'” Read more of Movieline’s Cannes 2012 coverage here .
Signs that your precious little girl may be inhabited by a malicious demon, according to this first trailer for the Sam Raimi-produced The Possession : She eats her pancakes at abnormal speeds (watch out for that fork), cradles an ancient wooden puzzle box in her bed at night, has a horde of insects living inside her mouth. What are desperate parents Jeffrey Dean Morgan and Kyra Sedgwick to do? Get a peek at the latest in dybbuk horror — so hot right now! — after the jump. Produced by Raimi’s Ghost House Pictures, August 31’s The Possession stars Morgan and Sedgwick as estranged parents of two girls, one of whom makes the best-worst yard sale find ever: A dybbuk box housing an assortment of tokens and pieces of hair, which appear to possess her, effectively combining the Jewish horror and scary child genres in one convenient movie! (A dybbuk, in Jewish mythology, is a malevolent possessing spirit; also see: 2009’s The Unborn .) What makes this movie slightly more interesting is that it’s based on a true story — at least, on the 2004 L.A. Times article ” Jinx in a Box ” that documented the allegedly cursed item known as the Dybbuk Box, an antique wine box found by one unlucky owner at a yard sale that went on to curse subsequent owners and even has its own Wikipedia page . Another fun fact: The Possession features Jewish rap sensation Matisyahu in a supporting role! Plan your summer viewing accordingly. [ Yahoo ]
A former grifter gets out of prison after serving 25 years for killing his partner in The Samaritan, and in a tale as old as time (or at least as old as the movies), tries to go straight, only to get pulled in for one last job. His name is Foley, and he’s played by Samuel L. Jackson, and this film from Canadian director David Weaver is svelte enough in its reassembling of familiar elements to be, for a while, as comfortably pleasant as sipping on what once used to be your go-to drink — until The Samaritan takes a jarring turn right out of Park Chan-wook, and from there takes a tumble into ludicrousness from which it doesn’t recover. The opening, at least, is stagey but solid. Foley is world-weary and jaded, and leaves prison expecting and getting nothing from the outside. Everyone he knows is either dead or would rather not be reminded of the past he represents, and any money he lent out is long gone. Foley is left to rattle around the Toronto he no longer knows, a city portrayed with self-conscious chiaroscuro to emphasize the story’s noir qualities. The only person interested in Foley is Ethan (Luke Kirby), the son of his old partner and a real piece of work. He has a grift and he has a target in mind — the dangerous but wealthy Xavier (Tom Wilkinson) — and while Foley wants nothing to do with the kid (who initially claims no resentment for what happened to his dad), Ethan keeps after him, taking him out for a drink and dropping a girl, Iris (Ruth Negga), into his lap like it’s another option on offer at the bar. Negga’s an interesting actress — her most prominent role to reach US screens so far has been as the best friend of the protagonist in Neil Jordan’s Breakfast on Pluto , and here she gets a solid showcase for her very modern, Asia Argento-ish fierceness. Iris is both femme fatale and gamine in need of rescue, the product of an unhappy orphaned upbringing, a smack addict bearing scars from suicide attempts. She pursues Foley with a single-mindedness that he seems to find quietly alarming, and not just because he has his doubts about her motivations — she wields her disastrousness like a club, as if inviting victimization were part of her appeal, as though being self-aware were enough to address her many problems. The relationship that develops between her and Foley doesn’t crackle with chemistry and gets partially smooshed into a montage, but it does have some edgily interesting moments, as when he tells her she doesn’t need to shut the door when she goes into the bathroom to shoot up, and keeps her company when she does it. Being a con man is so much more a movie profession than any kind of tangibly real-life one that to say someone is unconvincing at it feels a little silly. But Foley just doesn’t make a believable grifter. He’s meant to have once been legendary (Ethan says he was the “best in the city, according to a lot of the old timers”), though we don’t see those days other than in a brief flashback to the murder. In the present, Samuel L. Jackson is so intrinsically Samuel L. Jackson that the idea of his slipping into a role to loosen someone of his or her cash is amusing — he makes a believable tough guy when he beats someone up in the bathroom of a dive bar, but he doesn’t give off the air of a smooth talker. When we do finally get Foley in action, his technique seems to be acting badly, woodenly talking about offshore accounts in a way that blatantly signals he’s here to gyp his target out of something despite his earlier advice that the trick of the game is that “the mark gets to act like he’s doing me a favor.” Jackson doesn’t so much act as appear in films these days, and while he does some initial modulating of his on-screen persona for the role of Foley, it starts to fall away — the way he delivers the line “Rip that shit off this wall and throw it away!” is so close to the rhythms of “Yes, they deserved to die and I hope they burn in hell!” it’s worthy of a giggle. But he makes a good former convict because he seems too together to wallow in the fact that the world has passed him by. As a mood piece, at least, the film’s introduction is mournfully interesting. The Samaritan is best when it’s letting Foley drink alone at his shadowy, empty bar of choice after the bartender has asked permission to ignore him and watch the hockey game, as he tries to decide whether or not to join the girl in the corner, a girl who’s promising trouble but also redemption.

While the first trailer for James Bond pic Skyfall won’t hit until next week (!), official site 007.com has a treat in the form of a teaser poster for the November release. And while there’s precious little to glean from the black and white composition, there’s something surprisingly compelling in the simplicity of Daniel Craig , front and center, striding towards us from inside the Bond gun barrel . The juxtaposition of what looks like a drainage tunnel with Craig’s dapper, Tom Ford-tailored coolness gives us the sense that he’s unafraid to walk into the world’s dirtiest, grimiest underbelly in his fancy lad haberdashery. What’s more: He’s not shooting at us in the classic Bond gun barrel scenario, which traditionally envisioned the suave spy aiming and firing at the camera; look at his placement and you see he is the bullet. By my count this is the first of the Craig Bond flicks to use the iconic gun barrel motif in its poster designs; some form of it was employed here and there in the Bond films of Timothy Dalton and Pierce Brosnan, though not so much in the artwork of the golden era of Bond (i.e. the Connery-Moore years). That said, this 1980 German re-release poster from the O.G. Bond pic Dr. No utilized what you might consider a variant of the gun barrel motif. (Side note: Is there another gun in Connery’s pocket or is he happy to see us?) Skyfall hits theaters November 9. [via 007.com ]

Honestly, I can’t tell which way is up with some of the news coming out of the April Fool’s Day weekend. Does James Cameron want in on a Prometheus sequel? Is the Queen collaborating with 007 for the Olympics? Surely Jim Carrey and Jeff Daniels aren’t seriously going to shoot the long-gestating sequel to 1994’s Dumb & Dumber this fall once the Farrelly brothers are done promoting April 13’s The Three Stooges , right ? Well, the first was an April Fool’s joke, and the jury’s still out on whether or not The Sun pranked the blogosphere with their James Bond exclusive. But Coming Soon’s Silas Lesnick pinky-swears that the Dumb & Dumber sequel story is true, straight from the Farrelly’s mouths this weekend at the Three Stooges junket. “We’re getting set to shoot Dumb and Dumber 2 in September,” said Peter Farrelly. “It’s the first sequel we’ve ever done and we’ve got Jim Carrey and Jeff Daniels back.” According to Farrelly, he, brother Bobby, and star Daniels were already gung-ho about picking up again with Lloyd and Harry. (Farrelly also seems to discount the studio-made prequel Dumb & Dumberer: When Harry Met Lloyd , as we all should.) Once Carrey was onboard, the project started moving. “He had just watched Dumb and Dumber ,” explained Farrelly, “and he said, ‘This is the perfect sequel. Let’s do it.'” [ Coming Soon ]
