Karl Malden Passes Away at the Age of 97

1 July 2009 5:34 PM, PDT | Rope of Silicon | See recent Rope Of Silicon news »

It has been a rough two weeks for the entertainment business when it comes to the passing of major celebrity names as Karl Malden has passed away at the age of 97. Malden died in his sleep about 2:30 a.m. Wednesday, his manager Bud Ross tells CNN. Malden won an Oscar for his performance alongside Marlon Brando in A Streetcar Named Desire and was also nominated for another one of his performances opposite Brando in On the Waterfront in 1955. Only five years ago at the 2004 Screen Actors Guild Awards he was recognized with a Life Achievement Award and has long been recognized as a Hollywood icon. My personal experience with his movies has been relatively limited considering the overal breadth of his career but I have seen him in films such as A Streetcar Named Desire, On the Waterfront, Baby Doll, How the West Was Won, The Cincinnati Kid, Patton »

How Tony Curtis Taught Jewison the Movies

15 April 2009 3:46 PM, PDT | The Wrap | See recent The Wrap news »

"All kinds of things stand in your way when you're trying to make a film. I mean, it's you against the world. It's like going to war."

By Norman Jewison (to Eric Estrin)

He's directed and produced some of our most iconic American films -- "The Cincinnati Kid," "In the Heat of the Night" and "And Justice for All," for starters -- but Norman Jewison, 1999 winner of the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Science's prestigious Thalberg Award for his producing career, is Canadian through and through. Jewison is being honored this weekend at the Los Angeles County Museum of Art to mark the 20th anniversary of the Canadian Film Centre, which he founded, modeling it loosely after the AFI. He spoke with Eric Estrin about the surpris... »

Steve McQueen Biopic Announced For Zzzzzzzzzz

23 March 2009 1:05 PM, PDT | MovieBlog.Ugo.com | See recent Ugo MovieBlog news »

You know who was a cool guy 600 years ago?  Steve McQueen.  He was in a bunch of movies.  Most stunk, but a few were good (The Cincinnati Kid, The Great Escape and Papillon comes to mind, and The Towering Inferno for a laugh, I guess, sure.) The Hollywood Reporter reports that there are two separate biopics in the works.  I say, “ugh.” »

Steve McQueen is Getting a Biopic

13 January 2009 10:58 PM, PST | TheMovingPicture.net | See recent TheMovingPicture news »

A biopic is in the works for Steve “The King of Cool” McQueen, star of The Magnificent Seven, The Great Escape, Bullitt, The Cincinnati Kid, The Getaway and The Towering Inferno. The Oscar nominee passed away in 1980 at the age of 50. Producers Michael Cerenzie (Before the Devil Knows You're Dead) and Christine Peters (How to Lose a Guy in 10 Days) have acquired the rights to Marshall Terrill's biography Steve McQueen: Portrait of an American Rebel. According to the trades, the film will primarily chronicle McQueen's Hollywood career, which began in 1956 when the Indiana native got his break in the film Somebody Up There Likes Me. The biography, which was published in paperback in October, also delves into McQueen's off-screen desire for motorcycles, fast cars and drugs. The project will also examine his three marriages, including his stormy relationship with Ali McGraw, as well as his battle against lung cancer. »
