James Cameron would work with Kate again, but possibly not Leo
13 November 2009 2:06 AM, PST | The Hollywood News | See recent The Hollywood News news »
James Cameron would love to work with Kate Winslet again, but isn't sure about Leonardo DiCaprio.
The director - who worked alongside Kate and Leonardo when they played the lead roles in 'Titanic', one of the highest grossing films of all time - said he loved the way 'The Reader' actress worked.
He told Playboy magazine: "I'd certainly work with Kate Winslet again; she's very talented.
"Whereas Leo DiCaprio switches his acting on and off like a faucet, Kate's acting process is to internalise all this stuff and use it."
He also revealed he was not particularly interested in making the shipwreck disaster film, and did it largely for the money.
He added: "I made Titanic because I wanted to dive to a shipwreck, not because I particularly wanted to make the movie. 'Titanic' was about 'f**k you' money."
Cameron has recently finished Sci-fi adventure 'Avatar', »

Winslet Nominated For European Film Award
9 November 2009 4:16 AM, PST | WENN | See recent WENN news »
Kate Winslet is set to scoop another award for her role in The Reader - she is nominated for the Best Actress title at this year's European Film Awards (Efa).
The star has been tipped to land the coveted prize after the role won her an Academy Award earlier this year.
Winslet will go head-to-head with promising British newcomer Katie Jarvis, who will also compete in the Best Actress category for her acclaimed breakthrough role in Andrea Arnold's Fish Tank.
Danny Boyle's multi Oscar-winning Slumdog Millionaire is up for five honours, including Best Film, Best Director, and Best Actor for Dev Patel.
French prison movie A Prophet leads the nominations with six entries, including Best Film.
The ceremony will be held in Bochum, Germany next month. Last year's event in Copenhagen, Denmark saw Dame Judi Dench receive a lifetime achievement award. »
Kate Winslet brings £60 million to the British economy
9 November 2009 4:14 AM, PST | Boxwish.com | See recent BoxWish news »
Don’t you just love Kate Winslet? She constantly impresses with her screen roles, most notably her Oscar-winning turn in The Reader, champions natural and healthy body shapes for women rather than the Hollywood size zero craze and, despite her showbiz life, manages to seem very down-to-earth and just, well normal. Okay, so UK tabloid, The Daily Mail, which Kate has just successfully sued for libel and won £25,000 might not agree, having called her “the world’s most irritating actress” yet we reckon we’re in the happy majority with our pro-Kate love-in. And adding statistical weight to our argument comes news that the Reading-born actress is worth £60 million (nearly $99.7 million) to the British economy according to a survey by the UK Film Council. Can’t argue with the facts. »
Kate Winslet 'worth £60m' to UK economy
9 November 2009 4:12 AM, PST | The Guardian - Film News | See recent The Guardian - Film News news »
UK Film Council estimates actor's value based on factors including her salary as well as her films' effect on British tourism and UK-based film production
She has been appraised and audited and metaphorically slapped with a price tag. It's official: Kate Winslet, the Oscar-winning star of The Reader, is worth a grand total of £60m to the British economy.
Winslet, 34, is the first actor to be audited in a bold new venture by the UK Film Council, designed to calculate the exact value of the industry's stars. Jokingly referred to as the "Winslet algorithm", it bases its findings on a number of factors, from Winslet's basic salary through to the "general promotional effect" that her films have on British tourism.
The formula calculated that the actor had earned £20m from her acting roles since starring in Sense and Sensibility back in 1995. However, it also credits her stardom as a key »

Un Prophète leads European film awards nominations
9 November 2009 3:24 AM, PST | The Guardian - Film News | See recent The Guardian - Film News news »
Jacques Audiard's acclaimed prison drama shortlisted for six awards, including best film, best director and best actor for newcomer Tahar Rahim
The signs all point to Un Prophète (A Prophet) at next month's European film awards. Jacques Audiard's prison-set crime saga leads the field with six nominations, including best film and director. Newcomer Tahar Rahim was also nominated in the best actor category for his breakthrough role as a callow Arab inmate recruited by the Corsican mob.
Un Prophète won the jury prize at this year's Cannes film festival and last week scooped the inaugural best film award at the London film festival. It is released in the UK in January.
But the film faces stiff competition from Danny Boyle's Oscar-winning Slumdog Millionaire, which bagged a total of five nominations, including best film and best director. Joining the two frontrunners in the race for the crowning best »

Kate Winslet boosts economy
9 November 2009 2:38 AM, PST | Monsters and Critics | See recent Monsters and Critics news »
Kate Winslet is worth £60 million to Britain. The 'Reader' actress was the first celebrity to be "audited" by the UK Film Council, which looked to put a specific value on the country's creative industries and chose the English star as the first example for her success abroad and public profile. David Steele, the head of research and statistics at the UK Film Council, explained: "When an actor achieves international prominence, they have a general effect of boosting their country of origin that works its way through television appearances, advertising and celebrity news." A friend said Kate - who won the Best Actress Oscar for 'The Reader' this year - found it "both flattering and very funny". The audit »

Kate Winslet is worth £60 million [0 million] to Britain. The "Reader" actress was the first celebrity to be "audited" by the U.K. Film Council, which looked to put a specific value on the country's creative industries and chose the English star as the first example for her success abroad and public profile.
David Steele, the head of research and statistics at the U.K. Film Council, explained: "When an actor achieves international prominence, they have a general effect of boosting their country of origin that works its way through television appearances, advertising and celebrity news."
A friend said Kate - who won the Best Actress Oscar for "The Reader" this year - found it "both flattering and very funny."

European Film Awards: Un Prophète, Antichrist, The Reader
7 November 2009 2:55 PM, PST | FilmExperience | See recent FilmExperience news »
The EFAs are only 20 years old, a novice awards organization really, but their prizes offer up a rich variety of films, languages and genres. It's truly a grab bag and, if you're too Oscar focused, their prizes can be head scratching. Their 2009 Best Picture Nominees encompass three years worth of U.S. release dates:
(2008) Slumdog Millionaire, Let the Right One In and The Reader(2009) The White Ribbon(2010) Fish Tank and Un Prophète.
Tis a pity we can't bring the world closer together for simultaneous multilingual film discussions.
The Best Director is filled with heavyweights. When will you ever see an Oscar lineup that's this populated with critical giants: Pedro Almodóvar Broken Embraces, Andrea Arnold for Fish Tank, Jacques Audiard for Un Prophete, Danny Boyle for Slumdog Millionaire, Michael Haneke for The White Ribbon and Lars von Trier for Antichrist. Maybe a lot of what led to these nominations is reputation »

2009 Efa Noms: This Year's Favorite (A Prophet) vs. Last Year's Fave (Slumdog)
7 November 2009 | ioncinema | See recent ioncinema news »
- With the film eligibility dates covering portions of two years, the 2009 European Film Awards finds itself in an awkward mode of having a clear favorites from circa 2008 (Slumdog Millionaire, Let the Right One In) go up against cream of the crop from Cannes 2009 (A Prophet, The White Ribbon and Fish Tank). Jacques Audiard's A Prophet leads all nominations with a total of six with Best European Film, Director, Screenwriter, Actor (Tahar Rahim), Cinematography and Sound Design. Slumdog comes in 2nd place with five nominations while the Palme d'or winning The White Ribbon and Broken Embraces are tied with 4 each. The Reader, Fish Tank, Coco Avant Chanel, Antichrist and Let the Right One In have a total of 3 each. For the fun of it, I've placed asterisks next to what I think the winner will be in all of the categories below. So what do you think will and »

Don't mess with Kate Winslet.
The actress was awarded 25,000 pounds (roughly $40,000) from the UK's Daily Mail after London's High Court ruled on Tuesday that the tabloid was guilty of libel. The Mail printed a story about Winslet, 34, earlier this year dubbing her "the world's most irritating actress."

Academy Award winner Kate Winslet said Tuesday she was "delighted" to win a payout of about $40,000 from a British newspaper that said she lied about her exercise regime. "I strongly believe that women should be encouraged to accept themselves as they are, so to suggest that I was lying was an unacceptable accusation of hypocrisy," the 33-year-old mother of two said in a statement. In January, Winslet told reporters she was going "easy" on herself and not exercising at all during the hectic awards season.

Movie Review: A Serious Man

Up until A Serious Man, I don't think many would call Ethan and Joel Coen serious men. Looking at Fargo, Burn After Reading, and Raising Arizona, it's clear the Coens prefer to brandish their wickedly black, and sophisticated humor than make forays into stone-faced dramas. Even last year, when the two adapted Cormac McCarthy's heavily philosophical masterpiece No Country For Old Men, the film came out darkly sardonic. This makes their latest film so fascinating. Yes, there is still humor, but it's also heavily meditative and profound.
The cast is largely made up of unknown faces. The protagonist, Larry Gobnik, is played by Michael Stuhlbarg. He's a Jewish physics professor in the mid-west in 1967. His son is a unambituous pothead, »
