Ben Mendelsohn on Animal Kingdom, Crafting a Monster, and the Upside of Tension

Posted on August 18, 2010 by | Leave a comment

There are bad guys, and there are bad . Guys. Veteran Australian actor Ben Mendelsohn plays the latter in Animal Kingdom , the Sundance-winning, Melbourne-set crime drama currently wowing moviegoers in limited release. Much of that reaction has focused on the quality of the film’s evil double-headed, awards-worthy hydra, with the terrific Jacki Weaver smiling and snarling on one side and Mendelsohn — as bipolar (or monopolar, really) robber ganglord Arthur “Pope” Cody — on the other. As Mendelsohn candidly and readily admits, it was not a beast you wanted to mess before or during the grueling Kingdom shoot.

True Blood’s Marshall Allman on Alan Ball, His Old Costar Wentworth Miller, and ‘Assin’ Around’ in the Buff

Posted on August 13, 2010 by | Leave a comment

As Tommy, the impoverished younger brother to Sam (Sam Trammell) on True Blood , Marshall Allman plays a shapeshifting character who’s still licking wounds from a family that forced him into dogfighting. Talking to Allman himself, however, is the furthest thing from a grim experience. The hilarious 26-year-old called up Movieline this week to chat about getting in shape, the tabloid treatment of his former Prison Break costar Wentworth Miller, and the lengths Mad Men showrunner Matthew Weiner went to during Allman’s guest appearance.

” Love Miles Fisher,” Bret Easton Ellis drawled to Movieline in May , and we’d have to agree.

Posted on August 12, 2010 by | Leave a comment

If you’ve turned on the television at all this week — or, gasp, read a newspaper! — the chances are good you’ve familiarized yourself with Steven Slater. Or, as you might know him: The JetBlue Guy. His crazypants story — cursing out an unruly passenger and then exiting the plane via the inflatable emergency exit slide — has become a rallying cry for an unhappy culture of worker bees. Naturally, a movie has to come next, right? Ahead, Movieline picks five directors who would best bring Slater’s story to life.

Posted on August 12, 2010 by | Leave a comment

The weekly roll-out of vintage Movieline continues today with a look at 1991 — that year when fashion began its incremental climb to respectability (on second thought, maybe not ), Robert Downey Jr. was on his first term of fame , and taking down Pretty Woman felt like a political act. Oh, and River Phoenix paid us a visit as well. It was a good year! Read on for a few more highlights.

Skyline Trailer Affirms That When Aliens Invade, They’ll Pick Los Angeles First

Posted on August 10, 2010 by | Leave a comment

Part of District 9’s novelty came from its setting: While films like Independence Day and the upcoming Battle: Los Angeles posit that invading aliens will choose Los Angeles as their point of first contact, District 9 set its extraterrestrials in South Africa, an immediately refreshing and offbeat choice. Now we’ve got the trailer for the Comic-Con sci-fi vehicle Skyline , and it seems like the aliens are back to their old tricks again.
