In Theaters: A Guitar Hero Commercial
9 October 2009 11:15 AM, PDT | Movieline | See recent Movieline news »
Like an American version of Michael Apted's Up series, the thirteen-year collaboration between Vince Vaughn and Jon Favreau has produced a revealing look at the different stages of becoming a Hollywood player. Their 1996 debut, Swingers, hummed with the restless energy of young wannabes ready for their close-up, and when Hollywood subsequently offered the duo all the perks and shortfalls of the spotlight, the newly cynical sensibility it engendered ran a corrosive streak through their 2001 reunion, Made. The two men have seen their careers dip and stage a mighty comeback in the years since, and in their latest collaboration, the island comedy A Guitar Hero Commercial, we get an unpretty look at the fatty nonchalance of a newly minted Hollywood A-lister. »

Scott Hicks: One Of The Boys
By
Scott Hicks made his bones as a filmmaker the old-fashioned way, paying his dues as a crew member during the Australian film industry’s birth in the 1970s. Born in Uganda March 4, 1953, and raised in Kenya, England and finally Australia, Hicks worked his way up to assistant director for soon-to-be big names such as Peter Weir and Bruce Beresford before moving into directing industrial films and documentaries for television. Hicks didn’t direct his first feature, Freedom, until 1982, and had to wait for his second, in 1996, to put him on the A-list. Shine was the true story of Australian piano prodigy David Helfgott, and his battle with mental illness. It was nominated for seven Academy Awards, and won a Best Actor statuette for Geoffrey Rush, who played Helfgott as an adult.
Hicks has been choosy since then, going back and »

Chronicles of Narnia: The Voyage of the Dawn Treader
25 August 2009 11:39 AM, PDT | SoundOnSight | See recent SoundOnSight news »
Website ComingSoon.net recently spoke to producer Mark Johnson about the third installment to the Chronicles of Narnia franchise, Chronicles of Narnia: The Voyage of the Dawn Treader.. The third chapter finds Edmund and Lucy Pevensie, along with their cousin Eustace, swallowed by a painting and mystically placed aboard the Dawn Treader ship. Along with friend Prince Caspian, the children sail to the far off Lone Islands where they duke it out with slave traders and other enchanted villains. Unlike the first two Narnia films, the third, directed by Michael Apted, will not be a direct adaptation. Instead, Apted wanted to create a new vision by giving the next installment a genuine feel. “I want to make a movie based on my recollection of it [as a child]” ha said. Taking on the imagination of a child, Apted felt that more would come out of the book and more imaginative thought would be put on screen. »

'Narnia 3' Is a Whole New Franchise
25 August 2009 12:50 AM, PDT | Aceshowbiz | See recent Aceshowbiz news »
After "The Chronicles of Narnia: Prince Caspian" failure to meet expectations, filmmakers will take different direction for "The Chronicles of Narnia: The Voyage of the Dawn Treader". The producer of the third installment of the adventure movies, Mark Johnson, recently told Coming Soon, "It's a whole new franchise, I think it's really benefiting from it. It's a slightly different look."
Explaining how "Narnia 3" will be different from the other two movies, Johnson said this "Narnia" film has similarity with Ray Harryhausen's 1958 film "The Seventh Voyage of Sinbad". "This one is different from the others, it's in that ['The Seventh Voyage of Sinbad'] league and they go from island to island having adventures. I'm very excited about it," he noted.
Johnson later credited his co-producer Andrew Adamson for the idea of a different "Narnia", recalling "Adamson said something that was so smart early on. I had just re-read the book and he said, 'I don't »

Sigourney Weaver is ready for her close-up, Mr. DeMille!
4 August 2009 6:11 AM, PDT | Twitch | See recent Twitch news »
“I say we take off and nuke the entire site from orbit. It’s the only way to be sure.”
The lady who wrote the book on re-inventing the action star, Sigourney Weaver will always be remembered for her chameleon character in the Alien movies, where across the four main entries she went from blue-collar space-trucker, to gun-toting soldier, to biblical martyr to comic-book superhero. A statuesque woman who may not have gotten too many of the usual leading lady roles for the simple fact that she would be taller than most of her co-stars, Weaver has mainly done science fiction films and comedies (often both at the same time), yet occasionally does a straight-up drama and even a period costume piece. But her knack for comedic timing and a willingness to alternate between goofy, sexy and bitchy makes her an unusual Hollywood A-List star. She has worked with a »

It.s hard to be a big fan of Jesus lions, but I suppose there.s an audience for that. What.s endlessly hard to get, though, is that Jesus lions are completely acceptable in childrens' cinema but the atheistic themes in The Golden Compass were a little too much. But that.s neither here nor there because it seems like we.ll be getting at least two more hours of a lion savior. According to ComingSoon.net, despite rumors that it wouldn.t end up happening, principal photography has started on The Chronicles of Narnia: The Voyage of the Dawn Treader in Queensland, Australia. The movie will follow Edmund, Lucy and their cousin Eustace as they go on an adventure to Aslan.s Country by sea in some old ship to save Narnia. Michael Apted is directing with a projected release of December 2010. While the last movie didn.t »
