Woody Allen's Tall Dark Stranger
26 October 2009 11:46 PM, PDT | EmpireOnline | See recent EmpireOnline news »
The title of Woody Allen's next film has just been revealed: it's the somewhat elongated You Will Meet A Tall Dark Stranger. After his return to New York for Whatever Works, and his Spanish detour for Vicky Christina Barcelona, Allen's latest brings him back to the UK, al la the "trilogy" of Match Point, Scoop and Cassandra's Dream. The funding set up is the same as Vcb's, with Allen co-producing alongside the Spanish Mediapro: the second project of a projected four.As always, the cast is the thing. This time Allen has rounded up Antonio Banderas, Josh Brolin, Anthony Hopkins, Naomi Watts (replacing Nicole Kidman), Gemma Jones, Freida Pinto and Lucy Punch. The plot, as sketched by the Hollywood Reporter, "revolves around different members of a family, their tangled love lives and their attempts to try to solve their problems", which is as good as telling us nothing, except that it's not a thriller. »
Woody Allen Meets a 'Tall Dark Stranger'
26 October 2009 5:10 PM, PDT | Cinematical | See recent Cinematical news »
Woody Allen likes to keep a little mystery steeped in his upcoming projects -- especially when it comes to the title. Where other projects start off with that nugget of news, he shares it later. So, without further ado, the title of his latest film is, as The Hollywood Reporter posts:
You Will Meet a Tall Dark Stranger
This is the film that stars the likes of Antonio Banderas, Josh Brolin, Anthony Hopkins, and Naomi Watts. Set in London, the film "revolves around different members of a family, their tangled love lives, and their attempts to try to solve their problems." Before you go thinking that Watts gets to romance all the men -- Gemma Jones, Freida Pinto, and Lucy Punch also star. Considering the title, I'm going to guess that Brolin, Hopkins, and Watts are the family, and Banderas comes and spices things up with Latin lasciviousness.
I've got high hopes for this one. »

Allen 'bases film titles on quality'
30 September 2009 6:10 AM, PDT | Digitalspy | See recent digitalspy news »
Woody Allen has said that he waits until his films are completed to name them because he likes the titles to reflect how good they are. The director told The Daily Telegraph that he has not yet named his current movie, the fourth film he has shot in London after Match Point, Scoop and Cassandra's Dream. Allen said: "I never title a movie until it's finished because if I look at the film and it's no good I don't like to give it an aggressive title. "I give it what I call one of my hiding titles - the kind of title that is low-key and promises nothing, so people are less disappointed (more) »

Woody Allen Is Going Down to Rio
19 September 2009 8:47 PM, PDT | Slash Film | See recent Slash Film news »
After being cold-shouldered by the Us studios, Woody Allen turned to globe trotting for both the finance and the settings for his projects. Match Point, Scoop, Cassandra's Dream and his untitled 2009 project have all been set in London, Vicky Cristina Barcelona took place in, well, Barcelona, and now it looks as though he's heading to Brazil for his 2011 production. As well as shooting in Brazil, it looks like Allen will be take some funding for the project from the country too. I read in Brazzil Mag that two different Brazillian production companies are looking to come onboard, Conspiração and 02. As far as I know, there's no reason they can't each chip in. In just a couple of weeks, Allen's producers Stephen Tenenbaum and Letty Aronson will be in town to negotiate: In the first week of October the duo will be landing in São Paulo where, for two days, ... »

Wanted: Colin Farrell seeks Hollywood blockbuster role (IrishCentral)
17 September 2009 8:11 AM, PDT | IrishCentral | See recent IrishCentral news »
Hey Hollywood! Irish actor Colin Farrell says he's ready for a blockbuster role. "I love good action films," he said. "I love the spectacle of guns in the cinema, I really do." Mind you, at least our Colin's honest enough to own up to a more base consideration - the bottom line. "I'd love a big payday cheque," the 33-year-old star said. "I have no moral revulsion to that at all." A blockbuster role wouldn't be too much of a stretch for Farrell who did well in the movie thrillers; 'Daredevil," "Miami Vice" and "Minority Report." "It's just whatever you respond to. If I could find something that was a really big film that I liked," he said. Farrell is currently in Toronto plugging three films; "Ondine," "Triage" and "London Boulevard." The father-to-be also admitted that fatherhood with Ondine co-star Alicja Bachleda wasn't going to slow him down. "Like, »
Mike Leigh Starts Shooting His Next Project in London
26 August 2009 7:41 PM, PDT | firstshowing.net | See recent FirstShowing.net news »
English filmmaker Mike Leigh has started production on his next new film following the Oscar nominated film Happy-Go-Lucky, which received heaps of critical acclaim. The project is untitled and Leigh is keeping a lid on plot details (much like Woody Allen), but we do know who's in the cast: Imelda Staunton (Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix, Taking Woodstock), Jim Broadbent (Hot Fuzz, The Damned United, Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince), Philip Davis (Vera Drake, Cassandra's Dream), David Bradley (Filch in Harry Potter) and Stuart McQuarrie (28 Days Later, "The Bill"). Quite an impressive English cast. Many of Leigh's regular crew also are on board as well, including Oscar nominated cinematographer Dick Pope (The Illusionist, Happy-Go-Lucky), editor Jon Gregory, casting director Nina Gold, costume designer Jacqueline Durran and hair and make-up supervisor Chrissie Blundell. I wish we had more to tell you about this, but that's all their »

Talking Shop With Cinemash Creator Kashy Khaledi
18 August 2009 11:00 AM, PDT | MTV Movies Blog | See recent MTV Movies Blog news »
Mean Magazine indie publisher Kashy Khaledi's Cinemash viral videos are getting mounds of online buzz for their hilarious and star-studded movie sends-up of flicks like "Dirty Dancing," "Tron," "Oldboy," "Sid and Nancy," "Training Day" and "Carrie," the latest, that premiered here on MTV Movies Blog yesterday. To celebrate the final announced release in Cinemash's first "season," Khaledi took some time out of his busy schedule to give us the deets on how his brainchild came to fruition.
Mean Magazine already had access to the stars peppering the Cinemash videos because of its glossy print pub. As Khaledi revealed, it was an innovative and cool way to extend the mag's reach online. Mean was already doing off-the-wall photo shoots, like one with Ewan McGregor as Woody Allen around the time of his star turn in the director's "Cassandra's Dream," or the one with Kate Beckinsale as the doomed Tolstoy character Anna »

Cinematical Rewind: Actors Who Could Play Siblings
8 July 2009 8:02 PM, PDT | Cinematical | See recent Cinematical news »
(Cinematical Rewind is a new column that showcases some of our favorite posts from the past few years. Here's Jeffrey M. Anderson's famous Cinematical Seven from 7/22/08)
Occasionally Hollywood cobbles together random members of the A-list to play family members on film, even if their genes obviously come from opposite ends of the earth. If the actors are good enough or if the chemistry is there, sometimes the combo can work, such as Ethan Hawke and Philip Seymour Hoffman as brothers in Before the Devil Knows You're Dead or Colin Farrell and Ewan McGregor in Cassandra's Dream. Other times, it stretches credibility, such as Adrien Brody, Owen Wilson and Jason Schwartzman in The Darjeeling Limited. My all-time favorite oddball casting is in Sidney Lumet's Family Business (1989), with Sean Connery, Dustin Hoffman and Matthew Broderick playing grandfather, father and son. (Huh?) At the same time, there are actor combos out there »

HuffPost Review: Whatever Works
15 June 2009 5:20 AM, PDT | Huffington Post | See recent Huffington Post news »
It's already a minority opinion, but I enjoyed Woody Allen's newest, Whatever Works. I won't go so far to classify it as A-level Woody Allen, but it's solidly in the high B range - funny, heartfelt, with hokey jokes and occasionally surprising insights. I'll admit it right off the bat: I'm in the tank for Woody Allen. Not unreservedly. In the past decade, I've found some of his films more substantial and meaningful (Match Point, Vicky Cristina Barcelona) than others (Cassandra's Dream, Curse of the Jade Scorpion). But I'll go so far as to say that Woody Allen's humor was a key in my early (and continuing) idea of what comedy could be - from his early stand-up appearances on The Ed Sullivan Show or The Tonight Show through a movie career of 40 years (and an incredible 40 films). These days, at... »

Allen Returns To London
11 February 2009 11:01 AM, PST | WENN | See recent WENN news »
Filmmaker Woody Allen is embarking on a new bid to conquer London - with the help of Hollywood stars Sir Anthony Hopkins and Josh Brolin.
Allen abandoned his native New York in 2005 to make three movies in the British capital; Match Point, Scoop and Cassandra's Dream.
The big screen trio failed to live up to expectation, prompting to Allen to turn his attentions to Spain, where he scored a hit in 2008 with Vicky Cristina Barcelona.
Now Allen is returning to the U.K. and has lined up the two heavyweights to headline his latest top secret project.
Shooting will begin in London in the summer. »
New to Home Video: 'Vicky Cristina,' 'Rocknrolla,' 'Lakeview Terrace'
27 January 2009 5:13 AM, PST | GetTheBigPicture.net | See recent Get The Big Picture news »
Hello, and welcome to "That didn't do very well" week of DVD releases. To be fair, a couple of these movies were successful. But of the eight new releases we're highlighting, I'd say five were commercial failures. They're lifted this week, however, by the most profitable movie of 2008. More on that later.
Incidentally, our list is just an overview of some of the bigger releases. For a complete rundown, including re-released DVDs and TV series box sets you can pick up today, check out Video Eta.
While watching Lakeview Terrace, I realized for the first time that Samuel L. Jackson's true talent is in making bad movies better.
Let's face it: Sam has been in a lot of garbage over the years. But he's seldom hard to watch. And without him, Lakeview Terrace is nothing to write home about.
The movie did pretty well last fall, and »

Keira Knightley and Colin Farrell Stay on London Boulevard -- Starring in William Monaghan's directorial debut
22 January 2009 | Collider.com | See recent Collider.com news »
Colin Farrell is getting back into it. For years, I just considered the guy as someone with a really good agent but didn't deserve his fame and A-list status. But he showed me something with "In Bruges" and to a lesser extent, "Cassandra's Dream". Now he'll be teaming up with William Monaghan, the award-winning screenwriter of "The Departed", for Monaghan's directorial debut, "London Boulevard". Also on board is Keira Knightley who my friend Cait hates but I adore because she sure is purdy. The film follows a South London criminal (Farrell) who, after release from prison, tries to give up the gangster life by becoming a handyman for a reclusive young actress (Knightley). I sense some second-act conflict when she discovers, just as she's starting to fall for him, about his criminal past. Prove me wrong, Monaghan! »
