Out doing promotion for "Sherlock Holmes", British thesp Mark Strong ("Body of Lies," "Rocknrolla") tells Cinema Blend that most of his work on the upcoming "John Carter of Mars" film will not involve much CG.
"My character doesn't actually get involved in any of the motion-capture stuff. All the stuff is live action. Although I can shift my shape, so I have to be photographed by a 360-degree camera. I can adapt into anything. That's going to be my particular talent" says Strong who plays Matai Shang, the ruler of the Thems.
He adds that "there's some filming in Utah, but most of it is in a studio outside of London". Joining him are the likes of Taylor Kitsch, Lynn Collins, Willem Dafoe, Samantha Morton, Dominic West, Polly Walker, Thomas Haden Church and James Purefoy.
Andrew Stanton helms the project currently scheduled for a Summer 2012 release. »

Director Andrew Stanton would currently be in the midst of shooting John Carter of Mars, if the original start date had not been pushed back from November until early 2010. All of the lead actors have been in place for several months, with Taylor Kitsch in the title role. Back in September, actress Lynn Collins, who will star opposite her X-Men Origins: Wolverine co-star as the Martian princess Dejah Thoris, said that some hair and makeup tests were being done.
Apparently, however, the casting process has not even been completed yet, which could account for some of the delay in the production. Spoiler TV recently released a casting call sheet listing several supporting roles, including one "motion capture" Martian role.
[Stable Boy] 9 yrs old, Mestizo – a mixture of European and Native American or Mexican decent, no lines, 1 scene
[Dix] The storekeeper, 40’s – 50’s, built like a lumberjack/longshoreman, strong & husky, 5 lines, 1 scene

Jeremy Piven was the best thing since sliced bread about 4 or 5 years ago after the birth of Entourage, but with the reported decline in that show’s quality (this is hearsay — I’ve never seen an episode of it) and less exposure for the actor beyond a great role in Smokin’ Aces, I keep seeing more and more backlash against the guy.
I don’t really understand why this is — he’s charismatic as all get-out, just sullied by roles in The Goods and surely the upcoming adaptation of Marmaduke. One thing that could very well help is a lower budget, character-driven picture, which is precisely what he’s signing up for with Waska.
Directed by Gaby Dellal (On a Clear Day), Waska is an indie drama in the works that will focus on “a young father who loses his son, throwing the community into disarray at the time of »

Everyone.s gotta do the obligatory indie flick, right? Even Will Ferrell has done a couple. Remember Winter Passing? Yeah, not many people do, but that means it.s even more indie! The indie flick is a simple gateway to critical acclaim and possible award consideration, and Jeremy Piven is a dude who.s smart enough to catch the train. According to THR, Piven, along with Thomas Dekker, Lynn Collins, and Kate Walsh, has signed to star in Waska, a film about a young father whose son freezes to death during a fishing trip. Piven will play a prosecutor who goes after the father, while Collins will play the man.s ex-wife. The movie is based on the novel by Leslie Schwartz and will be adapted by Catherine Trieschmann. Gaby Dellal will direct. It.s always hard to get excited for small movies like these ahead of time. So much »

News of a new Jeremy Piven sighting is always cause for celebration, so with a spring in our step on this chilly late November morning we bring you Waska: an indie drama on the way from On a Clear Day director Gaby Dellal.The Waska of the title is the first snowfall of the year, "magical but often treacherous", and the story revolves around the disappearance of a toddler in the snowstorm, and a small community's search for him. The novel by Leslie Schwartz on which the film is based (adapted by Catherine Trieschmann, with the title changed from the eighties-soap-opera-sounding Angel's Crest) is as much about detailed portraits of the townsfolk as it is about the disappearance, so expect toothsome supporting roles for a cast that also includes Mira Sorvino, Thomas Dekker, Lynn Collins, Elizabeth McGovern, Joseph Morgan and Kate Walsh. Immediate wintry comparisons that leap to mind are »

In what’s sure to be an uplifting tale on par with E.T. and commercials for the Olympics, Thomas Dekker (Terminator: The Sarah Connor Chronicles), Jeremy Piven, Lynn Collins, and Kate Walsh have all been cast in Waska, which is about a young father (Dekker) whose 3-year-old freezes to death on a fishing trip. I believe we’ve found our feel-good film of 2010.
According to THR, “a local prosecutor (Piven) goes after him, townspeople like his ex-wife (Collins) rage at him and others support him as he attempts to makes sense of what happened.” Mira Sorvino, Elizabeth McGovern, and Joseph Morgan also co-star in the film. Waska is based off a novel by Leslie Schwartz and is probably a great beach read.

It might be unreasonable to suggest that any actor can have a career year at 28, but you can't say 2009 wasn't a whopper for Joseph Gordon-Levitt. In addition to his spunky anti-romcom hit (500) Days of Summer and presence in the tentpole G.I. Joe: The Rise of Cobra, he won a role in Christopher Nolan's mega-anticipated Inception, will host Saturday Night Live this weekend, and saw his tiny indie Uncertainty break $12,000 on one screen over the weekend in New York. The film tracks Bobby (Gordon-Levitt) and Kate (Lynn Collins), young lovers at odds over what to do for the Fourth of July. So they flip a coin, commencing a wild riff on identity, family, NYC culture and genre as one version of the couple spends the holiday evading gangsters in Manhattan, and the other visits an awkward family gathering in Brooklyn. »

Uncertainty features Joseph Gordon-Levitt and Lynn Collins as a couple who, at a critical point in their relationship, accidentally come to possess a cell phone that puts them in some serious danger. Gordon-Levitt is the star of such awesome films as The Lookout and Brick, as well as our own James Wallace’s most personal and body oil-heavy dreams (bring up Joseph Gordon-Levitt to him and you will not doubt it). Collins played Silverfox, Wolverine’s love interest in X-men Origins: Wolverine, and has also probably been in a few body oil dreams.

Gordon-Levitt the one guarantee about stumbling 'Uncertainty' After playing the romantic lead in the sweet love story "500 Days of Summer" as well as a villainous role in the action blockbuster "GI Joe," Joseph Gordon-Levitt returns to the world of indie cinema with "Uncertainty," a dual drama experiment from San Francisco-based filmmakers David Siegel and Scott McGehee. It's a welcome move, as Gordon-Levitt's best dramatic work remains the specialty dramas "Brick" and "Mysterious Skin." "Uncertainty" offers the 28-year-old actor a chance to play the same character in two different stories and his believable performances are the main reasons to watch the interesting but stumbling film. Bobby (Gordon-Levitt) and Cate (Lynn Collins) make up a young NY couple experiencing an encyclopedic range of emotions via two radically different dramas that unfold on July 4. In Manhattan, their adventure revolves around a found mobile phone and the dangerous people who will kill to get it back. »

A coin flip splits the new movie "Uncertainty" in two. That's how a young couple (played by Lynn Collins and Joseph Gordon-Levitt) at a turning point in their relationship decide which way to go on the Brooklyn Bridge. Who picks heads over tails ultimately isn't important, because the film follows both paths -- in one storyline, the two head to Manhattan, find a cell phone in a cab and become embroiled in a thriller, while in the other, they go to a family barbecue in Brooklyn and navigate more personal dramas. Which reality is the "real" one? The title should give you a clue.
"Uncertainty"'s not the first film to explore those what-if musings we've all indulged in, the ones that every holiday season drive George Bailey to an angelic vision of what the world would be like if he'd never existed. But it is one of a select »

Joseph Gordon-Levitt is simply one of the most exciting twentysomething actors working at the moment. Whether he's playing a moody hustler in Mysterious Skin, his breakout role, or a lovestruck boyfriend in this summer's absolute pleasure, 500 Days of Summer, his performances are all united by an authentic intelligence and actorly committment. It makes him a joy to watch on screen, even when he's unrecognizable (save for that excellent, resonant voice!) as Cobra Commander in G.I. Joe: The Rise of Cobra, or a goofy teenage alien in the long-running sitcom 3rd Rock from the Sun. Who knows what will happen when he's in Christopher Nolan's next film, the hotly-anticipated Inception. In Gordon-Levitt's latest film, Uncertainty, directors Scott McGehee and David Siegel (The Deep End), have created an intriguing world for him and actress Lynn Collins (X-Men Origins: Wolverine), playing a couple called Bobby and Kate. They start their day on »

We make millions of decisions everyday, any one of which might prove to be the linchpin of some unexpected outcome that changes everything forever. Life is full of those moments which, upon reflection, make you think: what if...? Or: if only...? David Siegel and Scott McGehee's Uncertainty, (opening in limited release and via VOD Friday, 11.13.09) comes at the idea in an ingenious and engaging way. A partially improvised film, this intriguing drama follows a young couple on a day when they might have chosen one of two courses of action -- and takes them through the twists and turns of each decision. Kate (Lynn Collins) and Bobby (Joseph Gordon-Levitt) are a couple undecided on what to do on one particular day in New York. So they stand in the middle of the Brooklyn Bridge and flip a coin. When it lands, »

One of the perks of writing for a movie blog is being kept up to date on of the newest trailers. Blockbusters, Independent and everything in between normally makes the news on one site or another. But every once in a while however, a surprise lurks around the corner. This is one of those surprises.
I was watching the latest episode of a movie trailer show, and they showed a trailer to a film called Uncertainty. After watching the trailer I went to look for more information, and came across the trailer on Yahoo. The film stars Joseph Gordon-Levitt and Lynn Collins and the synopsis according to Yahoo is this:
What if? A couple at a crossroads in their relationship, facing, one fateful July 4, the seemingly simple decision between a family barbecue or dim sum in Chinatown. Splitting the tale in two, exploring what happens as the couple follow both »
