He makes one helluva pretty boy, but the consensus may be a bit muddled as to his female manifestation. Images surfaced of Jared Leto dolled up as a drag queen prostitute. No, it is not a career change, he’s playing the character in Québécois filmmaker Jean-Marc Vallée ‘s drama The Dallas Buyers Club . Sporting a shaggy retro hairdo, a hint of some red Victoria’s Secret undies knock-offs and a faux fur of some sort, Leto is barely recognizable, but a peek at his toned torso gives some tease of his sexy self. This is not the first image from the film to hit the internet in the last week to cause at least some stirs. Fans and mere observers alike were shocked to see pictures of Matthew McConaughey surface, which showed the actor’s new gaunt/sickly frame. The former Sexiest Man Alive lost 38 pounds, tipping the 6-foot actor on the scale at a slight 143 pounds. Based on a true story, McConaughey plays Ron Woodroof, a drug-taking womanizing homophobe who was diagnosed with full-blown AIDS in 1986. He nearly died when he started taking AZT, the only FDA approved drug at the time, but returned from the brink after he smuggled in non-toxic anti-viral drugs from around the world. Other AIDS patients sought out his medications, forgoing the U.S. approved AIDS regimen. With the help of his doctor and a fallow patient – played by Leto – he unintentionally created the Dallas Buyers Club, the first of dozens that formed around the country. McConaughey told Larry King: “I should not look healthy by the time I’m doing (the role)…I just kinda dared myself. I haven’t been this light since I was in the ninth grade. I’m kind of looking at it as sort of a cleanse, it’s a bit of a spiritual cleanse, mental cleanse.” Also starring Jennifer Garner, this is Jared Leto’s first time behind the camera in three years. The Requiem for a Dream actor has spent time as the frontman for his band 30 Seconds to Mars. [ Source: The Insider ]
James Bond veteran and BAFTA-nominated director Danny Kleinman has crafted all but one of 007’s title sequences since taking over from Maurice Binder, the creator of Bond’s iconic gun barrel shot, with 1995’s GoldenEye . For Skyfall Kleinman created a moody, inky death dream of a title sequence powered by Adele’s “Skyfall” theme song — a reflection, he explains, of the MI6 agent’s dark emotional state as Bond’s 23rd EON outing unfolds. REVIEW: James Bond Is Reborn In Lavish Skyfall “At the beginning of the film there’s always an amazing action sequence, and this time it ends with Bond being shot. So one of the things I wanted to do was perhaps suggest what might be flashing through Bond’s mind as he thinks he might be dying,” Kleinman explained to Movieline. Kleinman memorably used scorpions to open Die Another Day and turned Casino Royale ‘s literal and figurative gambling theme into a kaleidoscope of deadly hearts, spades, diamonds, and clubs . The key guiding motif for Kleinman’s Skyfall title sequence? Death. “It’s a sequence that starts with Bond underwater and thinking that he’s dying,” Kleinman said. “I took that on as being almost like going into the underworld, feelings of mortality and feelings of, perhaps, regret and nostalgia.” In Skyfall ‘s opening sequence Bond drifts through a watery dreamscape of daggers and guns, encountering faceless, shadowy foes who threaten to overtake him. “One of the lines in the movie is about the intelligence service working in the shadows,” Kleinman said, “and I found that really interesting — the idea of being in the shadows and how shadows suggest different things but can also be intimidating.” “It’s quite a macabre and dark sequence, because I think the film is about Bond coming to terms with things that have happened in the past and with [Judi Dench’s M], it’s a very emotional story — moreso than most Bond films. My intention is to set up an atmosphere that gives you little clues, little hints, but is not too specific.” He paused. “It’s better than watching a bunch of names against black, anyway.” How does one go about creating a fantastic James Bond title sequence? Kleinman takes us through his creative process, the delicate art of teasing Bond’s exploits without giving too much away, how closely he works with Bond theme song creators like Adele — or not, as it happens — and his favorite 007 title sequence of all time.

Quentin Tarantino has one of the most eagerly awaited films of 2012 and most audiences won’t get a first glimpse until Christmas, but that hasn’t stopped speculation that it may be an Oscar contender and may be one of the Pulp Fiction filmmaker’s best to date. Yet, Django Unchained may be the beginning of his filmmaking sunset, the director hinted. In an interview with Playboy , Tarantino said that he doesn’t want to be an “old-man filmmaker,” and saying flat-out that he wants to “stop at a certain point.” “Directors don’t get better as they get older. Usually the worst films in their filmography are those last four at the end. I am all about my filmography, and one bad film fucks up three good ones … When directors get out-of-date, it’s not pretty.” Tarantino, who has the big 5-0 staring him in the face said he wants to come out on a creative high-note, but he’s not quite sure when that end may come, though he seems to think he’s most of the way there. “I’m on a journey that needs to have an end and not be about me trying to get another job,” he said. “I want this artistic journey to have a climax. I want to work toward something. You stop when you stop, but in a fanciful world, 10 movies in my filmography would be nice. I’ve made seven. If I have a change of heart, if I come up with a new story, I could come back. But if I stop at 10, that would be okay as an artistic statement.” Beyond retirement, Tarantino gave some insight to his creative process and the use of an occasional (or maybe not-so-occasional) joint while tapping his creative juices. While he partakes, he said he’s completely grounded while in production. “I wouldn’t do anything impaired while making a movie,” he offered. “I don’t so much write high, but say you’re thinking about a musical sequence. You smoke a joint, you put on some music, you listen to it and you come up with some good ideas. …I don’t need pot to write, but it’s kind of cool.” Continuing, he added that he is apt to take liberties with history in order to give the audience an unexpected twist and to simply make stories his own: “You turn on a movie and know how things are going to go in most films. Every once in a while films don’t play by the rules. It’s liberating when you don’t know what’s happening next. …I thought, What about telling these kinds of stories my way – rough and tough but gratifying at the end?” Initially, Tarantino had sought out Will Smith as Django, the title lead in the film about a slave-turned bounty hunger who sets out to rescue his wife from a brutal plantation owner, but then momentum segued toward Jamie Foxx. “[Will and I] spent quite a few hours together over a weekend when he was in New York doing Men in Black 3 . …I think half the process was an excuse for us to hang out and spend time with one another. …It just wasn’t 100 percent right, and we didn’t have time to try to make it that way.” About Leonardo DiCaprio’s villain, Calvin Candie, Tarantino said that he despised the character, which is an about-face of sorts for the filmmaker who typically finds an affinity with his bad guys. “I hated Candie, and I normally like my villains no matter how bad they are. …what I’m always trying to do…is get you to kind of like these guys, despite on-screen evidence that you shouldn’t. Despite the things they do and say and despite their agenda. I also like making people laugh at fucked-up shit.” And should the filmmaker retire as he has hinted, might he settle down? Tarantino gives his take on a more domesticated – Quentin Tarantino: “If I had a wife, I would probably be more polite. She would make me write thank-you notes, which I won’t do on my own. I wouldn’t be such a caveman. If I want to live in Paris for a year, what the fuck? I can. I don’t have to arrange anything; I can just do it. If there is an actor or director I want to get obsessed with and study their films for the next 12 days, I can do that. The perfect person would be a Playmate who would enjoy that.” [ Source: Playboy ]

The timing is perfect: Harmony Korine’s co-ed caper Spring Breakers , starring former tween queens Selena Gomez and Vanessa Hudgens, Ashley Benson, Rachel Korine, a RiFF RaFF-channeling James Franco , and all the VICE-ready skankster stars one film can hold, is set for a spring 2013 release via A24 and Annapurna Pictures. The tale of four bikini-clad college students bent on having the craziest spring break ever (under the guidance of Franco’s blinged-out rapper) debuted at the Venice Film Festival before making a splash in Toronto this fall. Per a press release, A24 and Annapurna, led by producer/indie dream-maker Megan Ellison, “plan a Spring 2013 release with heavy promotion around spring break.” In other news: Duh. SPRING BREAKERS tells the story of four sexy college girls as they plan to fund their spring break getaway by robbing a fast food joint. But that’s only the beginning… At a motel room rager, fun reaches its legal limit and the girls are arrested and taken to jail. Hungover and clad only in bikinis, the girls appear before a judge but are bailed out unexpectedly by Alien (James Franco), an infamous local thug and amateur rapper who takes them under his wing and leads them on the wildest Spring Break trip in history. `Rough on the outside but with a soft soul on the inside, Alien wins over the hearts and dreams of the young SpringBreakers, and leads them on a Spring Break they never could have imagined. Mark your calendars now for the “incredibly mainstream and wildly subversive” pic, which also stars Gucci Mane and the duo known as the ATL Twins. Parents, lock up your teenage daughters now.
