After some initial vexation from both director Michel Hazanavicius and star Jean Dujardin about The Artist ‘s wonder dog Uggie factoring in this year’s awards conversation , the duo seems to be warming ever so gradually to the notion that people liking Uggie is good for the movie. “When people say the dog is a good actor, it makes me happy,” Hazanavicius said in his latest interview . “I take it as a compliment for myself and the trainer.” Fair enough! And as for Dujardin? How about prime placement on the Golden Globes’ Web site praising his canine castmate?
“The most chilling ghost story of our time?” you say, new trailer for The Woman in Black ? We’ll be the judge of that. So far it looks like Harry Potter has gone back in time to trudge worriedly through a haunted house stocked with creepy little girls and jump scares. Can’t he just retire these spooks to some old paintings on the wall and be done with them, already? Expecto petr-ho-hum, if you ask me. But take a look for yourself, and stick around for more of your Friday Buzz Break.
The Artist , the silent film that has emerged since Cannes as one of the year’s presumptive Oscar front-runners , finally makes landfall in the States this weekend: Following tonight’s East Coast premiere at the New York Film Festival, Michel Hazanavicius’s tribute to old Hollywood rolls out for audiences at the Hamptons Film Festival. And if today’s early reactions at the NYFF press screening were any indication, all signs point to success.
Cannes favorite The Artist looks flashy and frothy, but that combination is perfect for Michel Hazanavicius’s sumptuous melodrama (in theaters Sept. 23) set in old Hollywood. It’s chock-full of Errol Flynn mustaches, Marcel waves, mink stoles, and the kind of magnificent Tinseltown excesses that killed everyone on E!’s Mysteries and Scandals . The new English trailer is available in HD, but let’s watch the French version to feel smart, shall we?
Cannes crowd-pleaser The Artist — a black-and-white, silent (save the musical score) film about Hollywood in the ’20s — isn’t tampering with the poster that ushered in its success: The Weinstein Company is reusing the gorgeous shot that led to the movie’s best actor prize for Jean Dujardin. Michel Hazanavicius’s Gallic flick hits the states on Nov. 23. Can you handle the intense Clark Gable/Claudette Colbert throwback?
