Why New Moon's box-office success is good for everyone

30 November 2009 2:06 AM, PST | The Guardian - Film News | See recent The Guardian - Film News news »

The Twilight sequel, which held on to the Us box-office crown for a second consecutive week, has given the independent sector a genuine shot in the arm

The winner

New Moon by a whisker. In its second weekend, Summit Entertainment's vampire saga just about held on to the North American box-office crown, thanks to an estimated $42.5m (£25.7m) three-day haul over the Thanksgiving holiday weekend that boosted the running total to $230.7m. This was only a few million dollars ahead of Warner Bros' true-life tale The Blind Side, which held firm in second place and delivered $40.1m to propel Sandra Bullock to her second $100m movie of the year after rom-com The Proposal and the fifth of her career (six if you include her voice part in The Prince of Egypt). It's been quite a year for La Bullock.

Holy Moses!

12 October 2009 12:20 AM, PDT | EmpireOnline | See recent EmpireOnline news »

What do you think of when you think of cinematic depictions of Moses? (We know that you're constantly thinking of cinematic depictions of Moses). Chances are you think of Charlton Heston striding around in The Ten Commandments. Or perhaps your mind casts itself back to Dreamworks' inaugural animation The Prince of Egypt.Chances are you don't think of 300, but that is apparently why you're sitting reading this this morning and not taking a power breakfast in Hollywood. Because that's exactly the direction Peter Chernin, formerly Chief Operating Officer for News Corp and lately head of his own production company Chernin Entertainment, has taken as his first major film project.The script is by Adam Cooper and Bill Collage, and conceived as a "visually stunning action piece" and "a 300-like reimagining" giving a Braveheart-feel to the Book of Exodus. They've also completed a similarly-pitched Moby Dick script for Timur Bekmambetov. Obviously »

The Top 10 Most Influential Scores of the Past Decade: #5

#5 - The Pirates Of The Caribbean trilogy

(Klaus Badelt/Hans Zimmer)

Blaring brass, sawing strings, playful woodwinds, bombastic percussion, ghostly choirs... It's the latest release from EastWest! Uh... or a cue from the Jerry Bruckheimer/Disney franchise The Pirates Of The Caribbean.

Okay, look. We know this one is going to start a flame war... but before you comment on why this score is the end to all that's right and holy in our industry, just remember... You Voted For These!

The Pirates Of The Caribbean started out being something that Hans Zimmer never thought would amount to much (Tpotc: The Curse of the Black Pearl; 2003), and ended up being probably one of the definitive works of his career (Tpotc: At World's End; 2007). Originally handed off to protege Klaus Badelt to handle (with Zimmer "producing" as an overseer... Lead balloon, much?), Tpotc might be solely responsible for the deluge of »
