Paz de la Huerta Making Directorial Debut with Red Shoes-esque Film

Posted on July 28, 2011 by | Leave a comment

Big news for Paz de la Huerta fans: the frequently naked Boardwalk Empire siren and upcoming Nurse 3D lead is currently directing her first film. She told the Observer , “It’s my version of The Red Shoes …[It’s] about a woman who’s unique, and lives in a small village, and is ostracized for being different, for being talented, and then she makes a horrible mistake and because the people in the village are so — you know — jealous of her, they don’t forgive her…and we are all human, you know. And we all suffer.” Preach, Paz, preach. Little else is known about the project, in which de la Huerta also stars. [ Observer via Vulture ]

Tom Hardy Compares His Dark Knight Rises Role to a Store at the Airport

Posted on July 27, 2011 by | Leave a comment

Over the weekend at Comic-Con , Tom Hardy described his villainous role as Bane in The Dark Knight Rises thusly: “You deal with something Dark Knight — or Mad Max , or Superman or Spider-Man , whatever — it’s like going to work in an airport and going, ‘Hi I’m over here!’ and then everybody goes ‘Oh here’s that, that’s the villain of the piece.’ Then it’s a thousand people going to Duty-Free. Like, [shouting] ‘I AM THE VILLAIN !’ and make a lot of noise.” But wait, there’s more!

Two New Ferocious Stills of Jane Fonda in Peace, Love, and Misunderstanding

Posted on July 27, 2011 by | Leave a comment

Once you put aside the silly Elvis Costello song title pun, the TIFF entry Peace, Love, and Understanding seems like an ideal project for all parties involved: Catherine Keener plays a conservative lawyer who, following a divorce from her husband (Jeffrey Dean Morgan), takes her kids (Nat Wolff and Elizabeth Olsen) to meet their estranged, hippie grandmother in Woodstock. That grandmother is Jane Fonda, whose new photos from the film should bring you back to a very specific, Oscar-garnering favorite from 1981. If you can’t guess the movie yet, hit yourself.

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.

First Look at Judge Dredd Reveals Who You Won’t Be For Halloween 2012

Posted on July 25, 2011 by | Leave a comment

With the exception of news about a release date (Sept. 21, 2012), the Lionsgate reboot of Judge Dredd — fittingly titled Dredd — received precious little hype at Comic-Con over the weekend. Perhaps that was a good thing, though, judging from the first look at Karl Urban as the titular law-keeper. Is this first look at Dredd on the cover of Empire magazine an ad for Ricky’s NYC, an ad for your local laser tag facility or the actual first clean image from the film? You be the judge (ding!) ahead.
