The folks at WETA Digital took to the internet Wednesday to unveil an in-depth first look at this August’s franchise reboot Rise of the Planet of the Apes in a live-stream chat, confirming Charlton Heston’s worst fears: Hordes of damn, dirty (and pretty photorealistic) CG apes will definitely be invading the streets of San Francisco this summer.

For the Second Time in Four Years, Sally Field is Steven Spielberg’s Mary Todd Lincoln

Posted on April 13, 2011 by | Leave a comment

Earlier today, Steven Spielberg announced that Sally Field will star opposite Daniel Day-Lewis in Lincoln , the DreamWorks biopic of the 16th president of the United States. This is exciting news for everyone including Spielberg, who remarked, “[Field] has always been my first choice to portray all the fragility and complexity that was Mary Todd Lincoln.” Lest anyone doubt that Spielberg’s “Team Field” sentiment is authentic, let’s rewind the clock to four years ago, when the director was first championing the Oscar winner for the juicy role.

The Inception Exception: Super 8 is This Year’s Blockbuster Best Picture Nominee, Right?

Posted on March 11, 2011 by | Leave a comment

The response to this morning’s Super 8 trailer debut has been sweeping and overwhelmingly positive. One look, and you can see why: Standard-issue marketing voodoo aside, J.J. Abrams’s latest portends a rare harmony of sweetness and ambition, homage and envelope-pusher, sincerity and mastery. Believe the hype or not, at least one thing seems clear: At least one Best Picture nomination next year is spoken for, right?

‘I Don’t Know What the Hell I’m Doing,’ and 8 Other Epiphanies From Sir Anthony Hopkins

Posted on January 13, 2011 by | Leave a comment

Holding court for an assembly of journalists yesterday in Los Angeles, Sir Anthony Hopkins gamely talked up his upcoming thriller The Rite , in which he plays a seasoned Jesuit exorcist mentoring a skeptical seminary student (newcomer Colin O’D onoghue) in Rome. Sitting across from the Oscar-winning actor, one thing was clear: At 73, Sir Anthony has, to borrow from Plato, achieved a great sense of calm and freedom. Like, the freedom to do whatever the hell he wants, whether it’s starring last year in Woody Allen’s You Will Meet a Tall Dark Stranger , getting hairy in the uber flop The Wolfman , making a special appearance in low-budget B-movies about female cage fighters , or playing a Norse god in this summer’s big-budget Marvel adaptation Thor .

Rep: Mr. Spielberg is Not Going to Washington

Posted on December 23, 2010 by | Leave a comment

” Today’s story regarding Nancy Pelosi made a reference to Steven Spielberg that requires a response,” said Hollywood mega-flack Marvin Levy in a statement. “I can say as a long-time spokesman for Steven that he has made it his career to direct actors, not political figures.” Probably a wise move — the guy lost his touch with alien life forms years ago.
