“I think that we have an opportunity with the third Iron Man to make the best of the three, and maybe one of the better superhero movies that’s ever been made. But I think we have to remember what made the first one good. It was very character-driven. It was very odd. It was kind of outrageous. And so I think we have to have the courage to trust that the audience is really kind of cool, and smart.” Ah yes, Robert Downey Jr. , “cool audiences” — the elusive fifth quadrant. Here’s to hoping Iron Man 3 doesn’t repeat the series sophomore slump . [ Omelete via Collider ]

In spite of the role he played in bringing the movie musical back into prominence, Rob Marshall has been, shall we say, a bit inconsistent over the years. This goes for his work within the musical genre, from the Oscar winning Chicago to the messy Nine , as much as his direction of non-musical films ( Memoirs of a Geisha , I’m looking at you). Just look to his most recent effort, Pirates of the Caribbean: On Stranger Tides ; commonly accepted as the weakest entry in the series, a sequel that hardly justifies its own existence, it’s nevertheless brought in $1 billion for Disney to date. And so, let’s discuss: Can Rob Marshall be trusted to adapt Broadway’s Into the Woods ? On the one hand, musicals are right in Marshall’s wheelhouse. With a background in theater and six Tony nominations under his belt, he transitioned from stage to screen with 1999’s telefilm Annie , followed by Chicago in 2002, which won the Oscar for Best Picture and reignited Hollywood’s interest in the genre. When Marshall stepped out of that comfort zone in 2005, the result was the woefully misguided adaptation Memoirs of a Geisha , a film that demonstrated an undeniably gorgeous visual flair but little grasp of anything else. Even when he returned to musical source material in 2009 with another Broadway adaptation, Nine , mixed reviews pointed to Marshall’s directorial weaknesses rather than the cast or script. Then came Pirates of the Caribbean: On Stranger Tides , a blockbuster sequel whose enormous success belies the overwhelmingly negative critical reaction it garnered upon release. Not particularly well shot or edited, with star Johnny Depp running away with the picture while simultaneously appearing to phone it in, Pirates 4 isn’t an encouraging barometer for judging what Marshall can do with copious resources at hand. So how might he handle Into the Woods? Into the Woods hit Broadway in 1987 with music by Steven Sondheim and book by James Lapine (who will also pen the film adaptation), a worlds-colliding fantasy merging some of the best known fairytales into the story of a Baker, his wife, and their myth-bending quest to start a family, a post-modern exploration of when fairytales stop being cutesy and start getting real. Best known with Bernadette Peters and Joanna Gleason headlining its original run, the musical went on to win multiple Tony and Drama Desk awards. In a post- Shrek age of renewed interest in fairytale films — especially those that, like last year’s Red Riding Hood or the upcoming Snow White and the Huntsman , tweak the legends in fresh, often subversive ways — it’s no surprise that Disney’s interested in bringing the long-gestating Into the Woods film to fruition. And given Marshall’s track record of commercial success with the studio and his experience in the musical genre, it’s a fit that makes total sense. (Marshall’s production company with John DeLuca, LUCAMAR Productions, signed a “multi-year, first-look deal” with Disney to commemorate the milestone.) The question is, how will Marshall handle Into the Woods ? (For what it’s worth, he’s also attached to a Thin Man remake with Johnny Depp to star.) He seems a safe enough choice when there’s a strong, established sense for the material; with Lapine onboard to translate the stage-y work for the screen medium, it should remain conceivably faithful enough for fans, as long as it doesn’t feel ’80s-dated. Take a trip down memory lane to the 1988 Tony Awards for a taste of the magic in Into the Woods (with Phylicia Rashad subbing in for Peters!) and tell me how you see this adaptation working out.

This just in: Kim Novak, star of Alfred Hitchcock ‘s Vertigo , has a beef with Oscar front-runner The Artist and its use of Bernard Herrmann’s iconic love theme from the 1958 classic. Let’s just cut to the chase and let Novak’s words speak for themselves: “I want to report a rape… my body of work has been violated by The Artist .” Say what, Ms. Novak? Rape? Director Michel Hazanavicius might prefer the term “homage,” but potato, po-tah-to… perhaps some elaboration is in order. Novak’s personal missive, for which she composed a press release and took out a full-page trade ad, continues via Deadline : “This film took the Love Theme music from Vertigo and used the emotions it engenders as its own. Alfred Hitchcock and Jimmy Stewart can’t speak for themselves, but I can. It was our work that unconsciously or consciously evoked the memories and feelings to the audience that were used for the climax of The Artist .” “There was no reason for them to depend on Bernard Herrmann’s score from Vertigo to provide more drama. Vertigo ’s music was written during the filming. Hitchcock wanted the theme woven musically in the puzzle pieces of the storyline. Even though they did given Bernard Herrmann a small credit at the end, I believe this kind of filmmaking trick to be cheating. Shame on them!” “It is morally wrong of people in our industry to use and abuse famous pieces of work to gain attention and applause for other than what the original work was intended. It is essential that all artists safeguard our special bodies of work for posterity, with their individual identities intact and protected.” Novak has a point, to a point: Using a well-known piece from a beloved classic can, consciously or subconsciously, evoke the emotion earned by that reference film. But does that mean The Artist cheated by borrowing on the emotional associations its audience had for Vertigo ? And, as personally as that citation hit Novak, is it fair to reduce the cinematic equivalent of sampling in hip-hop to such a gross violation? And if Bing Crosby was still around, would he make the same claim for the use of “Pennies from Heaven?” Chime in, Movieliners. • Not Everyone Loves ‘The Artist’: Kim Novak Feels Violated By Use Of ‘Vertigo’ Score [Deadline]

The first Oscar Index entry of 2012 finds Movieline’s Institute for the Advanced Study of Kudos Forensics a little hungover from the holidays and lot bored from the protracted inertia of awards season. Not even this week’s Producers Guild Award nominations could do much to shake up a contest that appears to be both wide open and solidifying into place at the same time. Let’s investigate… The Leading 10: 1. The Artist 2. War Horse 3. The Help 4. The Descendants 5. Hugo 6. Midnight in Paris 7. Moneyball 8. The Tree of Life 9. Bridesmaids 10. The Girl With the Dragon Tattoo Outsiders: The Ides of March ; Extremely Loud and Incredibly Close ; Tinker, Tailor, Soldier, Spy ; Drive The awards cognoscenti weighed in where they could after Tuesday’s PGA nomination announcement, but on the whole it came down to a few routine observations:
