Machine Man film

post from Filmstalker on 05 November 2009 05:19:12 PM. © Filmstalker

I had never heard of Machine Man before, but the idea of how it's being written has captured my imagination, I just wonder if the idea itself can work on film, and the way to find that out is for yourself for the first forty-three pages of the novel the film is based on is all online. The story is unique because it's serialised, it's being written a page at a time, and the page is placed on-line for everyone to read. The writer Max Barry says he doesn't really know how long it will be and doesn't really know...Visit Filmstalker for the full story. Restricted feeds to protect content.

Brothers Movie Trailer #2

post from /Film on 05 November 2009 04:46:33 PM. © /Film

Lionsgate has released a new trailer for the family drama Brothers, which is directed by six-time Oscar nominee Jim Sheridan (In America, In The Name of the Father), from a screenplay by David Benioff (The Kite Runner, 25th Hour), and stars Tobey Maguire, Jake Gyllenhaal, Natalie Portman, Sam Shepard, Clifton Collins, Jr., Carey Mulligan, and Ethan Suplee. The film tells the story of a black-sheep younger brother who cares for the wife and children of a decorated Marine who goes missing overseas, "with consequences that will shake the foundation of the entire family." The list of names involved with this film is very impressive. The trailer has a really over-the-top, on-the-noise, voiceover, which gives the feel of a made-for-television movie, rather than an Awards hopeful. Watch the trailer embedded after the jump. As always, leave your thoughts in the comments below.BROTHERS tells the powerful story of two siblings, thirty-something Captain Sam Cahill (Tobey ...

Is Hoodie Nation in Full Retreat

This was supposed to be the beginning of a new era, built around a new kind of pop culture. But when the director of Napoleon Dynamite's new film can't even get a national release, the dream is surely in danger.

This has been a harrowing week for Hoodie Nation, with setbacks that make the Democratic Party's election losses look like a day at the beach. First off there was the stunning news that hipster warhorse HBO's Flight of the Conchords show might have reached the end of its run.

And now on the heels of that debacle comes word that Fox Searchlight, distributor of Gentleman Broncos, the new film by Napoleon Dynamite director Jared Hess, featuring(!) for the love of God(!), Conchord Jermaine Clement, is pulling the plug on the film's national release, after its one week run in LA and New York.

The film seemingly had everything; a plotline built around a young fantasy fiction writer, exotic 70's costumes, characters with funny pets — all created by the auteur of the Quirky Filmmakers Bible Napoleon Dynamite. But after a week in New York and LA where it did so-so box office and received received miserable reviews from critics who are clearly just jealous, Searchlight decided to stop the bleeding and forgo the expense of a national release.

And to add insult to injury, the news first leaked out on Roger Ebert's Twitter feed of all the non-hipster places (although Ebert tweeting has just about come full circle now and is scheduled to be cool again sometime mid-to-late next week).

So for Hoodie pundits, there are several ways to spin this news. Putting on our Hoodie Pundit pom-pomed ski cap, first of all, just getting real, who cares if people outside of New York and Los Angeles see it? I mean, why were we going to show Broncos to them in the first place? Do those people even understand what quirk is? Do they even know that back in the early 80's people wore Members Only jackets and what that meant? So seriously, hell with them.

Second, looking at the big picture, let's not forget that quirk remains an extremely viable artform; (500) Days of Summer has grossed almost $50 million to date. Owl City is at the top of the record charts. The Fabulous Mr. Fox is being well received. And Jason Schwartzman's show was just renewed by HBO. So there is no cause for panic. While we can all admit, these events did not go as we would have liked, the state of Hoodie Nation is strong and still on its way to being the majority party of pop culture for decades to come.

Third, you can't beat something with nothing. You want to knock off the Quirkers but with what? Hip Hop? Maybe if you can open a time portal back to 2003. Country? I don't think Taylor Swift would last five seconds on the mean streets of Williamsburg. Emo has been co-opted...So what else've you got?
No movement around has the stature to take on Hoodie Nation, to challenge it block to block, apartment to apartment for the rulership of America's cool people.

They may say Quirk is over; but in the eyes of its people, it's just getting started.

Is David Cronenberg Still Adapting the Play The
Talking Cure

I love how the trades bury nuggets of info. At the bottom of the piece I used to source info about Michael Fassbender's upcoming role in A Single Shot was a throwaway sentence that suggests David Cronenberg is still at work on The Talking Cure, a project we've heard almost nothing about in the two years since it was first 'announced'. Almost exactly two years ago, a few reports said that Cronenberg was adapting The Talking Cure, a 2002 play by Christopher Hampton. (Ralph Fiennes, Cronenberg's star in Spider, appeared in one of the primary productions of the play.) The story's arc concerns the founding fathers of psychoanalysis, Carl Jung and Sigmund Freud, and their parallel relationships with a beautiful patient, Sabina Spielrein. Shades of Dead Ringers in there, yeah? In some ways this sounds like the subtext of much of Cronenberg's work being brought right to the surface. Could ...
