Shawn Ryan Reminisces on The Shield
2 November 2009 7:54 PM, PST | MovieWeb | See recent MovieWeb news »
The creator of the landmark cable series talks about the new Complete Series DVD set, Terriers and more.
Back in 2002, a series aired that changed the face of television and became my favorite TV series of all time - Hands Down - The Shield. For seven seasons I was absolutely riveted by the exploits of the Strike Team in the fictional Los Angeles district of Farmington, and that of their leader Vic Mackey, played to utmost perfection by Michael Chiklis. Sadly, the TV series came to an end last fall, with a series finale that is, in my opinion, the single best series finale in TV history ( to read my farewell piece to this amazing series) and now viewers can relive the TV magic with The Shield: The Complete Series, which hits the shelves in a massive 28-disc set on November 3. I was fortunate enough to have an exclusive »
Ronson, Chapman Receive Arts Leadership Award
30 October 2009 2:38 PM, PDT | Huffington Post | See recent Huffington Post news »
On October 29th, Mark Ronson and Georgina Chapman received the Arts Leadership Award presented by Music Unites and the Young Patrons of Lincoln Center (Yplc) at Lincoln Center's Alice Tully Hall. The award was given to Zac Posen last year. The Last King of Scotland actress Kerry Washington presented the award to Chapman and break-out indie singer Santigold presented the award to Ronson. The short award ceremony was followed by a live set by singer Daniel Merriweather whose upcoming February release "Love and War" was produced by Ronson. Merriweather plugged his album during interludes and made the crowd chuckle with jokes about how he felt underdressed. Ronson is best known for his Grammy-winning production on Amy Winehouse's 2006 release "Back To Black" as well as his 2007 solo album "Version." He is now in the studio helping produce Duran Duran's next... »

‘Lobo’ & ‘Judge Dredd’ Won’t Rely on Comic Book Guys
26 October 2009 1:49 PM, PDT | ScreenRant.com | See recent Screen Rant news »
What are the chances that this is good news?
/Film relayed to us that comic book writer Alan Grant mentioned at the McM Expo (the little sister of Comic Con that takes place across the pond) that neither he, Keith Giffen nor Simon Bisley have been contacted about consulting for the upcoming Lobo film and the same goes for him and John Wagner regarding a new Judge Dredd. “Jock,” (a.k.a. British Comic book artist Mark Simpson) who’s been working on concept art for Dredd stated plainly that no one’s been tapped to direct the film. How plainly, you ask? This plainly!
“…there’s not a director attached at the moment”.
Crazy. Anyway, wanna little context for all these names and movies? Then read on, people.
Let’s deal with Lobo first. He’s the central character in the eponymous comic published by DC that follows him »

Bond 23 To Start Filming In Late 2010
26 October 2009 1:41 PM, PDT | Filmofilia | See recent Filmofilia news »
According to MI6, Bond 23 will begin production in late 2010. Daniel Craig told fans outside the Broadway theatre for his play “A Steady Rain” that production will kick off at the “end of next year.
It will be the third 007 installment starring Craig. His previous two films, “Casino Royale” and “Quantum of Solace,” earned $594 million and $586 million, respectively, at the worldwide box office.
The next installment in the James Bond franchise is being written by returning scribes Neal Purvis and Robert Wade (The World Is Not Enough, Die Another Day, Casino Royale, Quantum of Solace), and “The Queen”, “The Last King of Scotland”, and “Frost/Nixon” scribe Peter Morgan. David Arnold will compose the score for his sixth 007 movie. Producers Barbara Broccoli and Michael G. Wilson have yet to confirm a director.
That news follows the general schedule of Bond movie production which commences 10-12 months before release, indicating a November 2011 opening. »

Daniel Craig Offers Shooting Time for Next Bond Film
23 October 2009 9:56 PM, PDT | TheHDRoom | See recent TheHDRoom news »
A fan of Daniel Craig recently approached the James Bond actor and got him to offer a time frame for when the next James Bond adventure is set to start shooting.
Per Variety, Craig answered the fan by stating the 23rd Bond adventure will begin shooting sometime late next year. That would put it on pace for a Fall or Winter 2011 release.
The last official news about the next Bond film came back in June when MGM hired Peter Morgan (Frost/Nixon, The Queen, The Last King of Scotland) and screenwriting collaborators Neal Purvis and Robert Wade (Quantum of Solace, Casino Royale) to pen the script. A few days later, a rumor circulated that Michael Sheen of The Twilight Saga: New Moon was being considered for the film's main villain.
MGM remains mum on Craig's open statement and Sheen's possible involvement in the project. »
'Project Runway' exclusive: Find out who will guest-judge on next week's episode!
23 October 2009 10:22 AM, PDT | EW.com - PopWatch | See recent EW.com - PopWatch news »
Let's hear it for Milla Jovovich, who did a damn fine job guest-judging on last night's Project Runway. The model-turned-actress-turned-designer displayed a keen knowledge of fashion and had chutzpah to spare. Which means the person who's guest-critiquing next week has a mighty unenviable task. I'm about to tell you who that person is, so if you're averse to anything resembling a spoiler, now would be a good time to skip on ahead to the comments section. But if you have working eyeballs, you probably already figured out that it's Kerry Washington. (Sorry, gotta have a photo!) Will the actress (of »

Un Prophete's Tahar Rahim Cast in Roman Epic Eagle of the Ninth
19 October 2009 6:00 PM, PDT | firstshowing.net | See recent FirstShowing.net news »
Focus Features announced today that French actor Tahar Rahim, the lead actor in my favorite foreign film of the year, Jacques Audiard's Un Prophete (read my review from Cannes), has been cast in The Eagle of the Ninth, his first big role since breaking out at Cannes earlier this year. The Eagle of the Ninth, being directed by Kevin Macdonald (The Last King of Scotland, State of Play), is a Roman epic adventure that's currently shooting in and around England. In addition to Rahim, the film stars Channing Tatum, Jamie Bell, Donald Sutherland, and Mark Strong. Definitely sounds like a project we should be keeping our eyes on! The Eagle of the Ninth is set in the dangerous world of second-century Britain. In 140 Ad, twenty years after the unexplained disappearance of the entire Ninth Legion in the mountains of Scotland, young centurion Marcus Aquila (Tatum) arrives from Rome to »

19 October 2009 7:04 AM, PDT | MovieWeb | See recent MovieWeb news »
Tahar Rahim, the star of one of this year's most acclaimed films, Un Prophète (A Prophet), has joined the cast of the Roman epic adventure The Eagle of the Ninth, currently being directed by Academy Award winner Kevin Macdonald and produced by Duncan Kenworthy. The film is co-financed by Film4 with Focus Features, which holds worldwide rights excluding U.K. free-tv.
Heading the cast are Channing Tatum (G.I. Joe: The Rise of Cobra, the upcoming Dear John), Jamie Bell (Defiance, Jumper), two-time Golden Globe Award winner Donald Sutherland, and Mark Strong (the upcoming Sherlock Holmes and Robin Hood). Mr. Macdonald is reunited on the new film with Jeremy Brock, BAFTA Award-winning screenwriter of his 2006 film The Last King of Scotland, who has adapted the screenplay of The Eagle of the Ninth from Rosemary Sutcliff's classic novel of the same name.

First Photos from McAvoy’s The Conspirator
16 October 2009 1:08 PM, PDT | HeyUGuys.co.uk | See recent HeyUGuys news »
The Playlist have debuted the first couple of images from James McAvoy’s new movie, The Conspirator which I’ve placed below (click to enlarge).
The Scottish actor has hit the big time at the box office bringing us some awesome films including Atonement, The Last King of Scotland and Wanted with Angelina Jolie. Wanted was so successful that he’s been signed up for the sequel which is due for release some time in 2011 with both Jolie returning (somehow!) and Timur Bekmambetov directing. It goes to show that McAvoy is currently hot property in the land of Hollywood.
The Conspirator is directed by Robert Redford and co-stars Robin Wright-Penn. It’s currently being shot in Savannah, Georgia and some of the readers of The Playlist have sent some images of the cast which they’ve found out also includes Evan Rachel Wood, Tom Wilkinson, Kevin Kline and Toby Kebbell. »

tMF Oscarwatch: Will James McAvoy finally gets an Oscar nom?
16 October 2009 3:29 AM, PDT | The Movie Fanatic | See recent The Movie Fanatic news »
James McAvoy was quite exceptional in The Last King of Scotland and it was his character who actually provided the perspective for the story and the movie itself. However, no Oscar nomination - not even for Best Supporting Actor. As Robbie Turner in Atonement, McAvoy "shows a sheer emotional range that's completely new to his career." says Derek Elley @Variety, "And McAvoy is a dynamo, nailing every nuance in a complex role." adds Peter Travers @Rolling Stone, and yet, still no Oscar - not even a nomination.

Movie Review - 'The Damned United'
9 October 2009 12:02 AM, PDT | GetTheBigPicture.net | See recent Get The Big Picture news »
Starring Michael Sheen, Timothy Spall, and Jim Broadbent
Directed by Tom Hooper
Rated R
By and large, the sport we call soccer has never fully caught on in the United States. It's football everywhere else in the world, and we know why we don't call it the same thing here. And as much as we love American football, we simply can't compare to the rabid loyalty international football enjoys among its native fans.
Perhaps nowhere is the love of the game so fiercely expressed than in the UK, the setting for the new import The Damned United, which stars Michael Sheen (Frost/Nixon) as legendary coach Brian Clough.
But during the late 1960s and early 1970s, Clough was not so legendary, and his time spend with Leeds United would not ordinarilly seem like the sort of thing you'd make a movie about. In American terms, it would »

5 Movie Clips from The Damned United Starring Michael Sheen
28 September 2009 12:39 PM, PDT | Collider.com | See recent Collider.com news »
Opening on October 9th in New York and Los Angeles is director Tom Hooper’s “The Damned United”. The film was written by Peter Morgan and it stars Michael Sheen as Brian Clough - the very famous and very controversial football coach of Leeds United. At least he was for 44 days back in the 1974. Anyway, the film tells the story of where Brian Clough came from and what exactly happened that led to his departure after such a short time. As you might imagine, Michael Sheen is excellent and completely disappears in the part. And while I’m not a huge football (soccer) fan, I really enjoyed “The Damned United” and think if you like any sport, you’ll find a lot in this movie to enjoy. So to help promote the film, we’ve been given 5 clips and you can watch them after the jump. Take a look:
