Men of the Cannes film festival, keep defending those masculine values | La Barbe
GUARDIAN Tue, 15 May 2012 14:17:47 GMT
Open letter: Women may adorn the awards ceremony and prettify the posters, but, mon dieu, don't let them behind the camera "What has changed in cinema? Everything has changed!" exclaimed Gilles Jacob, president of the Cannes film festival, during the presentation of the 65th Cannes festival film nominations. Everything?! For one second, we trembled. But for no reason, it turned out, as the 22 officially selected movies – happy coincidence – were directed by 22 men. This 65th festival will end up giving the precious award to a male director for the 63rd time, defending the masculine values that give the seventh art its nobility. Only once did the Cannes film festival lose heart. In 1993, the Palme d'Or was indeed awarded to Jane Campion. And last year, doubtless due to a lack of vigilance, four women somehow sneaked in among the 20 people nominated in the official competition. Thierry Frémeaux, the festival's director general, correctly remarked: "It is the first time that there...

Film4 announce £1m comedy fund
GUARDIAN Fri, 11 May 2012 15:30:03 GMT
Film4, the British film studio behind The Inbetweeners Movie, has announced the creation of a £1m film fund to develop comedy movies Inspired by the success of The Inbetweeners Movie, British film studio Film4 has announced the creation of a £1m film fund specifically aimed at developing comedy features. The fund will be overseen by Shane Allen, Channel 4's head of comedy, who has been responsible for recent TV hits such as Facejacker, Star Stories and Friday Night Dinner. Allen said: "This is a fantastic adrenaline shot for more British film comedy ... with the huge expertise of Film4 it's a brilliant opportunity to tap the cinematic potential of UK writing and performing talent." The Inbetweeners ran for three seasons on the E4 channel between 2008 and 2010, before the movie spin-off was released in 2011, becoming an unexpectedly successful hit taking over £45m at the UK box office.

Avengers damage would cost $160bn, if real
GUARDIAN Thu, 10 May 2012 13:24:42 GMT
Disaster experts say chaos wreaked in Joss Whedon film would cost more than 9/11 or Hurricane Katrina damage to fix The damage inflicted on Manhattan by an army of marauding extra-terrestrials and the superpowered defenders of Earth in blockbuster comic book movie Avengers Assemble would cost $160bn to repair, according to US "disaster experts". Analysts for the Kinetic Analysis Corp, which assesses and predicts the cost of catastrophic incidents in the US, told the Hollywood Reporter that the climactic denouement to Joss Whedon's superpowered tale would cost more than 9/11 ($83bn), Hurricane Katrina ($90bn) or the Japanese tsunami ($122bn) to fix. Much of the repair bill would go on restoring Grand Central Station to its former glory, while fixing crushed tops of buildings would also add up. "The extensive damage to Grand Central Terminal could prove highly disruptive, depending on the subsurface damage to the subway system," KAC said in a report for the industry bible.........

The Avengers: theaters bank on the midnight mania of diehard fans
GUARDIAN Fri, 04 May 2012 14:20:00 GMT
As the film industry continues to struggle with ways to fend off piracy, theaters rely increasingly on fans desperate to see it first It wouldn't have been enough for Nathan Owens simply to show up at the movies at midnight, despite having to be at his warehouse shift at 9am the next day. Owens, 21, had to get dressed up in full Captain America regalia, all in preparation to see The Avengers, director Joss Whedon's new take on the story that combines the iconic Marvel superheroes into the Traveling Wilburys of fanboy culture. Owens's friends came in costume too: Brian Moore as Thor; Ben Allison as Hulk; and Kyle Grizzle as Iron Man. The quartet of superheroes hammed it up outside the Mall of Georgia, posing with fellow fans, as Owens's sister Emily eagerly snapped photos while needling her brother. "Nathan still lives at home with our parents," she said to anyone who would listen. "It's OK," Owens says, his hands covered in makeshift red gloves made out of tape. "I'm not........
Samuel L Jackson takes aim at critic over Avengers
GUARDIAN Fri, 04 May 2012 10:30:43 GMT
The Avengers actor has caused fury on Twitter by calling for New York Times critic, AO Scott, to get a new job following his negative review of the film A Twitter row has erupted after Samuel L Jackson lambasted the eminent New York Times film critic AO Scott over his review of new comic book movie Avengers Assemble. Joss Whedon's film, titled simply The Avengers outside the UK, is due to open in the US this weekend after racking up nearly $300m (£185m) in the UK and 40 other countries in just eight days. Industry experts believe it may even be on course to challenge the $169.2m US opening weekend record, which is held by last year's Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows part two. The film has also benefited from strong reviews, though not from Scott, who said it suffered from a "grinding, hectic emptiness" and "bloated cynicism". He added: "The secret of The Avengers is that it is a snappy little dialogue comedy dressed up as something else, that something else being a giant.....
Avengers shows you don't need to break the US first
GUARDIAN Thu, 03 May 2012 19:00:01 GMT
The superhero film is just one recent mega-release to open in the States last – does this spell an end to the US's cultural dominance? Last weekend, film fans in 39 countries spent $185m watching Avengers Assemble: a superheroic start to blockbuster season. But one nation was conspicuously missing from the list: the US. Captain America was embraced by Swedes and Peruvians before his countrymen had the chance to see the film known simply as The Avengers in the States. It was a similar story for Battleship, an alien attack movie as American as McDonald's apple pie, which dropped anchor in 26 territories on 11 April, five weeks before it will dock on US shores. Ten years ago, the landscape looked very different. The mission to combat piracy led to simultaneous global rollouts – "day and date" releases, in Hollywood lingo – and that was the policy picked for Star Wars: Attack of the Clones back in 2002. But "America first" was still the industry standard. That summer, Spider-Man......

Peter Jackson defends Hobbit preview
GUARDIAN Mon, 30 Apr 2012 09:28:48 GMT
The Hobbit director will not abandon 48 frames per second despite criticisms that format looks like 'daytime television' Peter Jackson says he will not abandon his quest to bring higher frame rates to cinemas after preview footage from The Hobbit met with a mixed reaction from audiences last week. Footage from the Kiwi director's forthcoming two-part Lord of the Rings prequel, screened in the 48-frames-per-second format which Jackson has been championing as the future of cinema, was compared to modern sports broadcasts or daytime television by critics at the annual CinemaCon event in Las Vegas. But Jackson said the 10-minute preview many not have given the audience enough time to adjust to the new experience, and pointed out that post-production work on the footage had not yet been completed. "It wasn't particularly surprising because it is something new," he told the Hollywood Reporter. "Ultimately, it is different in a positive way, especially for 3D, especially for epic.....

Robert Redford criticises Cameron ahead of Sundance film festival
GUARDIAN Thu, 26 Apr 2012 18:00:06 GMT
In London to launch UK version of the event, actor/director accuses prime minister of having 'narrow view' of the industry Robert Redford, the godfather of US independent film-making, was never likely to agree with David Cameron's assessment that the British film industry should concentrate on commercially viable films. Redford, in London to promote the first UK version of his cutting-edge Sundance film festival, practically growls out what he thinks of the PM's ideas. "That may be why he's in trouble. That's a very narrow view. I don't want to say it speaks of the man, but that doesn't speak to the broad category of film-makers and artists." A well-preserved 75-year-old, Redford is still very much the frontman for the festival that takes place in Park City, Utah, every January, as well as leading its parent organisation, the Sundance Institute, which organises film-makers' "laboratories" across the world. His presence is therefore mandatory to spearhead this first attempt to.....
From the archive, 24 April 1981: 'Coke' investigation adds strife to Hollywood's high society
GUARDIAN Tue, 24 Apr 2012 06:00:00 GMT
Paranoia in Tinseltown as a congressional committee turns the spotlight on cocaine abuse in Hollywood The joke in Hollywood these days is that when the film director shouts 'Cut!' the stars reach for their stash of cocaine. A 'cut' is the byword in the private world of 'coke' users, when a 'line' of the white powder is prepared for sniffing up the nose - a 'toot' or 'snort.' The processed derivative of the Latin American erythroxylon coca leaf is Hollywood society's 'high' - at £60 a gramme. The joke is now wearing thin, and the practice is becoming less private. When a congressional committee from Washington arrived in Los Angeles this week to investigate drug abuse, Hollywood responded as though Senator McCarthy had returned from the 1950s with his blacklist. Paranoia in Tinseltown is at another kind of high, and it was futile for the committee to assure the film people that the legislators were not asking for names of those who had attended a coke party, rather than........

Nicola Horlick: having it all – again?
GUARDIAN Fri, 13 Apr 2012 22:01:34 GMT
Hyperactive 'superwoman' Nicola Horlick is relaunching herself as a film producer, venture capital investor and restaurateur – and for £25,000 you can join her I'm not just a finance person, you know," says Nicola Horlick, the fabled City "superwoman" and mother of six. Soon she will start shooting a 1960s-set East End gangster flick – Diamond is the working title – where the diamond geezer is a woman. It will be Horlick's first stab as lead producer of a film, although behind the scenes the one-time City maverick is fast becoming a movie mogul in her own right. Bruised by the loss of millions of pounds of investors' money to Wall Street fraudster Bernie Madoff in late 2008 – her Bramdean Alternatives company had £21m, or nearly a 10th of its assets with Madoff – Horlick has spent the last few years focusing on raising cash for film ventures. Her company Derby Street Films is developing a slate of around 25 movies, and in March launched a multimillion-pound round of fundraising..
Mel Gibson 'hates Jews', says screenwriter
GUARDIAN Thu, 12 Apr 2012 10:35:14 GMT
The Maccabees film cancelled as screenwriter accuses director Mel Gibson of antisemitism in nine-page letter The Hollywood screenwriter Joe Eszterhas has accused Mel Gibson of sabotaging a planned film about a famous 2nd century BC Jewish revolt for antisemitic reasons in an explosive letter to the disgraced actor and director. Studio Warner Bros yesterday announced the cancellation of The Maccabees, which Gibson had been attached to direct, suggesting that Eszterhas's script lacked "a sense of triumph". In response, Eszterhas wrote a nine-page letter to Gibson in which he accused his former collaborator of using the project "to deflect continuing charges of antisemitism which have dogged you, charges which have crippled your career". He also cited occasions upon which Gibson had threatened to kill his ex-girlfriend and the mother of his child, Oksana Gregorieva, and accused the film-maker and actor of using offensive terms such as "hebes", "oven-dodgers" and "Jewboys" to........

The rise of 'mommy porn': UK writer lures Hollywood with bestselling erotic trilogy Fifty Shades
GUARDIAN Sun, 25 Mar 2012 00:08:01 GMT
Major film deal in pipeline for EL James, whose trilogy began as fan fiction online She is the former west London housewife who has revolutionised the genre of erotic fiction with her bestselling trilogy of novels, Fifty Shades of Grey, whose combination of romantic storytelling and themes of bondage and domination are so steamy they have been dubbed "mommy porn". Now EL James is set to conquer Hollywood after securing a multi-million-dollar deal to turn the first of the books into a blockbuster movie in what top producers hope will be the start of a lucrative franchise. For two days last week, James, a former TV writer, and her literary agent, Valerie Hoskins, were holed up in a wood-panelled conference room at Los Angeles's Soho House, accepting submissions for the first of the series from Hollywood's leading producers. The British pair were showered with incentives, including one studio presenting a video of its top female executives praising the trilogy. According to........

Jafar Panahi: arrested, banned and defying Iran with his new film
GUARDIAN Thu, 22 Mar 2012 18:00:01 GMT
Despite his house arrest, and 20-year ban on making films, the Iranian director has released a movie – the unclassifiable This Is Not a Film, smuggled out of the country in a cake If one accepts Iran's ruling that Jafar Panahi is no longer a film-maker, then it follows that his latest release is an orphan, unnamed and unclassifiable; a 75-minute yawp in the darkness. "This Is Not a Film," the opening title assures us, after which we are free to sit back and watch as the Iranian dissident pads distractedly about his Tehran apartment, testing the limits of his cage and implicitly highlighting the absurdity of his situation. The result may well be the most intriguing, quietly compelling non-movie we'll see all year. In December 2010, Panahi was convicted by Iran's Islamic republic of "making propaganda against the system" and placed under house arrest. He faces a 20-year ban on writing scripts, directing films, giving interviews or leaving the country. As an added bonus, he is.....

It's the week of the great Oscars comedown, and even the winners must have a bittersweet feeling that they are unlikely to scale such heights again Well, Oscar weekend has come and gone, and for British film reviewers there can hardly be anything left to say. But this hasn't stopped us all haranguing the Academy for its failings and errors of taste, just as that famous West Cork newspaper fearlessly addressed the tsar of Russia in 1899: "The Skibbereen Eagle has its eye on you!" For critics, this is the week of the Oscars comedown: the great post-awards season hangover: a sense of nausea and surfeit and anticlimax. Having in many cases stayed up all night, and then put together our final reports on the night's outcome, reviewers now return to work in the knowledge that all the really strong Hollywood films have been released for the Oscars, and what we're likely to get from the studios now is the substandard stuff dumped into the off season.
