		<description><![CDATA[Guy Ritchie won himself back in the hearts and minds of the mainstream Joe Popcorn audience with the entertaining blockbuster Sherlock Holmes and you won't be surprised to hear that he is moving straight onto a sequel.

A fast track Holmes 2 seemed obvious when Robert Downey Jr left Jon Favreau's Cowboys and Aliens that was to shoot this summer to leave his schedule open for a reprisal of his Golden Globe winning super-sleuth, and I would wager a late 2011 or early summer 2012 release could be in the offing.

Warner Bros. producer Joel Silver tells The L.A. Times that the casualty of making Sherlock Holmes 2 so fast is Guy Ritchie's comic book adaptation of Lobo...
"I don't think he's going to do it now. The studio wants us and Guy to focus on making another 'Sherlock Holmes.... So we're trying to see if we can do something quickly with another 'Sherlock Holmes' movie. We have some ideas and some good story points."
Silver said his guess was that Lobo would get a "different director" and it's still being developed despite this latest development. As for who would play Moriarty - clearly positioned as the villain threat for a sequel, he confirmed ...]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Of course actor Charlie Hunnam's "Vlad" script isn't about vampires, even if it is being funded by vampire cash (New Moon) over at Summit Entertainment.

If The Hollywood Reporter, and all those who re-churned out their original story (that includes you Drew, tut tut!) had actually thought about what a movie centered around Vlad the Impaler would have been about in the first place, then it would have been obvious from the get-go.

And while I'm on the subject, can we just make it clear once and for all that Vlad the Impaler, the infamous ruler of Wallachia between 1456 and 1462  - a cruel tryant who executed tens of thousands of men in the most gruesome ways imaginable and left their impaled corpses on spikes around the forest surrounding his castle for intimidation, has at the end of the day, very little to do with the undead villain Bram Stoker created in the late 19th century.
Vlad the Impaler.
The only loose connection between Vlad the Impaler and Dracula, is that Stoker researched early Romanian history when he wrote THE FICTIONAL NOVEL that he is most famous for and took the name Dracul (meaning "son of the devil") from Vlad Dracul, but of ...]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Brad Pitt is either the laziest actor in Hollywood, is humouring Columbia for a little while or he really, really likes the idea of starring in the baseball movie Moneyball, which it's been announced by Variety has finally found a new director in the form of Bennett Miller (Capote).

Amazingly, Pitt is still attached to the movie despite the director he signed on board to work with, Stephen Soderbergh, being kicked off the 96 hours short of filming when Columbia Pictures head Amy Pascal suddenly realised she had greenlight a $65 million movie about baseball statistics, and panicked over it's potential profits.


Pitt is still attached to play Oakland A’s manager Billy Beane, 
who assembled a contending  baseball club on a small budget 
by employing a sophisticated computer-based analysis to draft players
Pascal gave Soderbergh/Pitt a weekend to find another studio who would finance their take on the picture but instead Soderbergh just walked off, and we all expected Pitt to follow suit, but several months have passed since and his name is still attached. At this point, it looks like he's actually going to make it.

Over the summer, Soderbergh spent at least $10 million on pre-production for his take on the ...]]></description>

I'm not too sure of the truth behind the rumour, but Brad Pitt is reportedly in talks to play arch-nemesis Moriarty in the sequel to the ludicrous looking Guy Ritchie helmed Holmes. Script writers Kieran and Michele Mulroney (behind the forthcoming Jeff Daniels superhero  buddy movie Paper Man) have been more firmly attached to the project by The Hollywood Reporter's Risky Biz Blog.

I'm not usually one for rumours, but this one seems too wierd to be true surely. Pitt hasnt worked as a bona-fide villain since Kalifornia, and that character was a million miles away from the traditional evil of Moriarty- but then Ritchie isnt one for coherence and a more traditional casting choice: personally I'd go for Sir Ben Kingsley every time,- even despite his tendency to ham to the max when it comes to villains (Thunderbirds, anyone?). Or how about Tim Roth? Surely it's time he made some new waves in the business?

Stranger things have happened. Who would you like to see play Moriarty? ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Most people will have now started to hear the early buzz around Tarantino's latest (thank God for Twitter eh?), and read my frankly profane initial reaction. I stand by it whole-heartedly, and I'm more than willing to indulge Tarantino's proclamation that Inglourious Basterds is a bona-fide masterpiece. You'll notice the plot details are conspicuous by their absence: if you wanted to know them in detail, the script is online (plus the multifarious reviews who have gone Spoiler crazy today), and if you have chosen not to read that I assume me spoiling it now would simply be unwelcome.



Firstly, I feel it necessary to address some of the issues that other early reviews have focused upon negatively. Rad this slowly, take in every word and digest: Inglourious Basterds is a FANTASY film, if you want a realistic war epic, this isnt the place to come (and if you didnt get that from the trailer, then shame on you for not paying attention). It is a hybrid pulp fiction set in World War II, which has to rank as an enormously brave thing to do: the saturation of that particular market is such that I was inclined to think we probably didnt need ...]]></description>

(As usual I'm over on my own deadline and I know a few people have asked me where the fuck is my review, but you know I tend to get all excited when writing my thoughts on big films like this which in the past have been known to end up at 3,00 words, so it sometimes takes me a while. This is as much as I've written so far and I will make sure I finish it soon...)

In Quentin Tarantino's world, it would be movies that defeated the Third Reich. Cinema's uber post-modernist director in his sixth feature film (counting Kill Bill as one movie for this purpose only) has gone beyond simply re-tooling scenes, thoughts, and ideas from past filmic works and has now moved to a larger playing ground altogether - he's remaking history. With Inglourious Basterds, he has remade World War II, and I loved him for it. 

After Public Enemies, it's my second favourite movie of 2009 and one that I know I'm going to revisit a thousand times in the future, hell I've already seen it twice and may go back for a third helping soon. I totally love everything about this picture. The wonderful characters, ...]]></description>

Greenlit on April 3rd 2007, and still the best superhero concept I've heard this decade, the now titled Oobermind (previously the much better Master Mind) at Dreamworks Animation has gone through a rather unfortunate casting change.

Robert Downey Jr. has left as the voice of the lead - Will Ferrell replaces him. Still the intriguing premise remains.

Oobermind centers around idea of a super villain becoming depressed and fed up with life after accidentally killing his arch rival, the goody two shoes hero Metro Man (Brad Pitt, who replaces Ben Stiller) in the film’s opening scene. It’s the theme that has made the feud between Batman and The Joker so fascinating and was recently dissected with the end joust between Heath Ledger and Christian Bale in The Dark Knight. "You and I will be doing this forever" and the reason for that is, without one, you don't really have another. They are ying and yang. They give each other a reason to live - that's why The Joker has never killed Batman.

To fill the void left by Metro Man's death, Oobermind creates a new superhero, Titan (Jonah Hill), but it's more fun being the bad guy and he ends up being more ...]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[The Weinsteins have truly had some serious difficulties in promoting Quentin Tarantino's Inglourious Basterds, a movie that many are calling a decisive release for the longevity of the company.

The screening of Public Enemies I attended on Monday night played one of the early U.S. trailers and it simply fell flat on it's face, crickets were chirping, barrels of hay were rolling around, and a few groans were heard from the 20somethings Tarantino's movie needs to play too for success. 

Sadly at this point, all the signs are he has another Grindhouse flop on his hands. Not because of the film's quality, because from a trailer like this it looks perfectly fine, just because this ain't a large audience pleasing kind of flick.



The U.S. and U.K. trailers have clung on to Brad Pitt with all their might, hopeful that his name recognition and star power will attract mass audiences for a non-mainstream kind of genre (has the Euro-Spaghetti-War movie ever made money?) but what that's done as a negative is that we see the same few Brad Pitt scenes over and over again. We are bored of them now, and the movie doesn't open yet for another eight weeks.

Thankfully as some kind of ...]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Harvey Weinstein has been talking to GQ Style magazine about the truth behind the much discussed butchering of the Cannes version of Inglourious Basterds, how the project went from being a Band of Brothers HBO series into an epic motion picture, and also lets slip that Brad Pitt wants to do an Inglourious II, a project Quentin Tarantino has previously mentioned could be a prequel. 

You know, it's the one he said he had "half-written" about African-American soldiers which were previously part of Inglourious Basterds before he cut characters and sub-plots to get it down to a manageable length. 



First on the follow-up, which is barely anything really except...
Brad wants to do Inglorious II. We all want to do it. And the movie hasn’t even come out yet! But unfortunately I cannot give away the plot. 
Guess it depends on how the movie performs in just under two months time. Many analysts have already predicted that the movie is crucial to the future survival of the Weinstein company and whichever way the pendulum swings with audiences is pretty much going to decide whether the company has a future or not. Tarantino has let them down before with Grindhouse (or was it that the U.S. audience let ...]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Columbia studio head Amy Pascal suddenly got very nervous on Friday for Moneyball, the adaptation of the bestselling Michael Lewis non-fiction baseball novel when the latest re-draft from Steve Zaillian (American Gangster, Schlinder's List) and director Stephen Soderbergh wasn't to her liking and was radically different from what she originally greenlit back in October. 

Pascal has given has given the pair until today (Monday) to find a new studio if they want to make the film as written. 

Otherwise Pascal will either replace Soderbergh/Zaillian with someone else (Devil Wears Prada helmer David Frankel was previously attached to direct) and potentially risk Brad Pitt walking out or Columbia will put the project in indefinitve turnaround. This is clearly a last minute panic as production was set to begin today in Phoenix.



Warner Bros. and Paramount are said to be interested according to Variety, and really it's no surprise.

The novel is a clear audience favourite and although the concept possibly sounds difficult for an easy adaptation (movie is about Oakland A’s manager Billy Beane, who assembled a contending baseball club on a small budget by employing a sophisticated computer-based analysis to draft players), Soderbergh has delivered proven audience hits (The Ocean's movies) and of course has the real Moneyball in ...]]></description>

Simon's the real Inglourious Basterd!



Quentin Tarantino's World War II epic which has been playing around in the crazy man's head for over a decade now (and in mine for a year since I read the script last summer) will be be 2 hours 40 minutes long according to the Cannes Film Site.

Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie... we all knew that would work in MR. AND MRS. SMITH, and none of us were the least bit surprised when they became a couple soon afterwards. 

But Brad Pitt and Natalie Portman, in a romantic comedy? There's one high profile Hollywood pairing I never would have put together. 



Variety have the scoop that Paramount Pictures have acquired the rights to the new Leanne Shapton book with the extraordinary long title, "Important Artifacts and Personal Property from the Collection of Lenore Doolan and Harold Morris, Including Books, Street Fashion, and Jewelry."

Paramount won a big bidding war on Tuesday night for the novel. Natalie Portman and her production company Handsomecharlie Films caught wind of the book, she sent it to Brad Pitt who went crazy for it and he brought his Plan B production company on board.

Both Portman and Pitt loved the book so much, they are starring in the two lead roles.... 
The book takes the form of Sotheby's-like estate auction catalog, with 325 entries and photographs depicting items that reveal the private moments and the rise and fall of a four-year ...]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Poetic melancholy or deep regret? What keeps pulling me in? (spoiler warning, if you have never seen this American classic, probably the best Western ever made in my lifetime, you really need to buy this now!) 



There's such a hopelessness about it, isn't there?

How a man can grow up idolising his hero, be fortunate enough to get closer to him than even his own wife and children, then butcher him cruelly down in an act of extreme cowardice, a cold blooded murderer which haunts him for the rest of his miserable life.

Life does not get much bleaker than that. 

Or was the killing of James an act of mercy? Was it a suicide, even though Jesse didn't pull the trigger?

Regardless, two men died on that day, one would be remembered in popular folklore and be obsessed over, one wouldn't.



I've seen THE ASSASSINATION OF JESSE JAMES BY THE COWARD ROBERT FORD three times, constantly amazed at how gripped I am by it's timeless setting, the meticulous use of historical myth and legend, the magisterial performances and just how coherent the narrative is despite the problems director Andrew Dominik had with the studio over the cutting of the film. 

He aimed for Malick (the infamous 4 hour cut shown ...]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[As expected, the trailer is cut and sliced (I'm certain this trailer is not shown in order as I've read it begins with Eli Roth ordering the soldiers to attention) and comes with the unnecessary presenter yapping their heads off, instead of letting us watch the damn footage!

Oh well. The footage is fast and frantic, your never quite sure what you are witnessing but your definitely hooked, right?

You can tell this movie has barely begun it's lengthy editing process. It doesn't carry the Quentin universe feel yet, the colours look a little bland, not quite up to the genre level Quentin works too. 

Brad Pitt chews up the scenary and well, whether that last line of his works for you or not will pretty much decide if your going to be able to stomach his character Lt. Aldo Raine. 

The full trailer, without the ET nonsense is said to be attached to prints of movies in the U.S. this weekend (I believe FRIDAY THE 13TH is all but confirmed). 
Give us your thoughts on INGLOURIOUS BASTERDS below. The movie premieres at Cannes in May. ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Has star power won in Hollywood again?

Back in October, we reported that Brad Pitt had signed on to star in MONEYBALL, an adaptation of the true life story of Oakland A’s manager Billy Beane, who assembled a contending baseball club on a small budget by employing a sophisticated computer-based analysis to draft players. 

Back then it was to be directed by David Frankel (THE DEVIL WEARS PRADA) but now comes word from Variety that Stephen Soderbergh has entered talks for the project. 

Has Pitt forced Frankel off the film so he can once again work with his director on the OCEAN'S movies?

Steve Zaillian (AMERICAN GANGSTER, SCHLINDER'S LIST) has adapted Michael Lewis book for Columbia. 

Presumably Pitt will play the coach and it's one of the more conventional projects the actor has signed himself too recently but it does continue his new desire to only work with the top directors in the industry (Fincher, Tarantino, Malick, Coens).

The movie will be Soderbergh's next after his ambitious rock opera CLEO (about Anthony and Cleoptra) fell apart after star Hugh Jackman bailed on the Egyptian epic.

I predicted he did so because of the failure of AUSTRALIA and for his desire to not take a risk as his next ...]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Originally published on my personal blog, Sammyray.

Do you remember the discussion back in 2002 about Andy Serkis receiving an Oscar nomination for his startling work as Gollum in The Lord Of The Rings? Many people felt that, although the character viewed onscreen was computer generated, Serkis' physicality and voice work in creating this memorable character should earn him an Oscar nomination.

Of course, it was not to be.



The battle over the merits of computer generated characters began in 1999 when George Lucas placed his faith in the entirely CGI Jar Jar Binks experiment in The Phantom Menace. While largely considered a failure in the minds of sane people, Binks inadvertently became the granddaddy of all CGI characters to come out of the pixellated ghetto of special effects.

Since then, we have marvelled not only at the textural realism possible in creating characters like Gollum or King Kong, but also at the level of performance and emotion displayed by these digital illusions. Watch Serkis perform against himself behind digital makeup during the argument scene in Two Towers, and you're seeing a remarkable performance overlaid with digital glitter. Creations like Gollum no longer fit into the simple category of special effects, because they have ...]]></description>

I'm anxious as hell to see what David Fincher and Brad Pitt have concoted here, this is exactly the kind of sci-fi/love story that hits the right beats in my conscious mind.



David Fincher and Brad Pitt appeared on Charlie Rose this week to discuss the movie, in what is a pretty cool long assed interview...

		<description><![CDATA[Actual frames of film from the 6th Quentin Tarantino movie (if you count KILL BILL as one epic saga) have hit the web, giving us our first official look at INGLOURIOUS BASTERDS ,only half a year away now from likely to be playing in a theatre near you.

They come courtesy of Filmz.ru, though I have to give a shout out to Seb at Quentin Tarantino Archives for letting me know via e-mail...



Above is a very different looking Brad Pitt from a previously leaked photo from the set, showing him as a more distinguished and decidedly older looking Lt. Aldo Raine recruiting his team of INGLOURIOUS BASTERDS. We get to see his scar for the first time and it doesn't disappoint.

Below is a glimpse at one of my favourite scenes from the script I read, possibly the most tensest part of the movie. A game of deception and identities. The image below shows Diane Kruger as film startlet Bridget Von Hammersmark, entertaining the German Nazi's with a game of "who am I?".


And in case you missed it, don't forget to check out Seb's excellent article Pop Culture Meets History: The story behind INGLORIOUS BASTERDS which was published on the site last ...]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[YES!

Out of all the Brad Pitt potential upcoming projects, this was the one I was hoping he was looking at tackling once he has scalped some Nazi's heads in INGLOURIOUS BASTERDS.



 Variety confirm that Pitt is moving forward with THE LOST CITY OF Z, the Paramount Pictures movie about British explorer Col. Percy Harrison Fawcett, who went missing in 1925 in the uncharted jungles of Brazil, convinced a lost city existed there and whose exploits were a massive influence on Lucas' idea for INDIANA JONES.

The studio say James Gray will direct the movie based on David Grann's upcoming non-fiction book out in April.
"This is a terrific opportunity to do something entirely different for me," Gray said. "It is a story that will be told with an epic scale, with a main character who is larger than life."
Gray's previous two movies (WE OWN THE NIGHT, TWO LOVERS) were very quiet releases that didn't get much attention despite some big names. Well now Mr. Gray, you have one of the biggest names in Hollywood working on your movie... Paramount will actually want people to see this!
