The ’90s were a moment of tremendous upheaval in international cinema. Here in America, the revolt against Hollywood’s bland output a decade earlier had resulted in a small window in which American independent cinema became commercially viable and started seeping into more mainstream fare. Young and exciting directors, most of whom are now A-listers, were given resources and able to make multiple films. Meanwhile, Hollywood’s big commercial films were in the hands of directors like Spielberg, Bigelow, Verhoeven, Woo and De Palma, as franchises continued to be invented rather than recycled.
On the international scene, the Iranian New Wave unloaded a treasure trove of new films, the great run of Hong Kong cinema was peaking and maturing, three great autuers completely upended how films in Taiwan were made, and a pair of Danish directors with a dogma wanted to change how every film was made.

It was the original Fake News story.
In a small New Jersey town on the night of Orson Welles’s legendary 1938 “War of the Worlds” radio broadcast, the hoax that terrified millions into believing Martians were invading America, citizens face what they think is their last night on Earth.
Here’s a look at the upcoming film Brave New Jersey where the aliens never show up.
The over-worked town’s mayor Clark (Tony Hale, “Veep”) will take a chance on love. The neglected housewife, Lorraine (Heather Burns, “Manchester By The Sea”) will break free from her big-cheese husband (Sam Jaeger, “Parenthood”). The demure schoolteacher Peg (Anna Camp, “Pitch Perfect”) will become a warrior. The aimless reverend (Dan Bakkedahl, “Life in Pieces”) will rediscover his faith. The scared Sheriff (Mel Rodriguez, “The Last Man on Earth”) will find his courage. And the reclusive war veteran (Raymond J. Barry, “Training Day”) will...

Um... What? Did I hear that right? As I was looking for some interesting things to post, I came across some information that Doritos has made a hybrid Doritos bag and music player that looks like a tape deck on the bag. The best part is, it plays the Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2 soundtrack. Of all the things I never expected to happen, this is probably the top of the list.
Doritos and Marvel have a cross promotion going, but who would have thought they would make a Doritos bag that plays music!? In some strange way, it makes sense. A strong element in the Guardians of the Galaxy films is music. There is a tape deck that plays Star-Lord's music that has both an important role in the film and has great tunes for the film. Even the title of the film is called Vol. 2, reminiscent of an album release.

Steve Carell is something of a rock star in his career, having transformed himself from a quirky commentator on "The Daily Show" to both a mainstream and indie success with films like "The 40 Year-Old Virgin" and "Little Miss Sunshine." It makes sense, then, that Carell plans to elevate his rock star status in a literal sense with a biopic of Dennis Lambert, the songwriter/producer who became a rock sensation in the Philippines late in his life. Jonathan Goldstein and John Francis Daley wrote the untitled script based on "Of All The Things," a 2008 documentary directed by Lambert's son Jody.
"Dennis left the music business [after his solo album flopped] and was selling real estate in Florida when he was told by a Filipino promoter that he's still huge there because his album had been so successful. The promoter begged him to tour," Daley told Deadline of Lambert's true story. "Finally, in his 60s...

Steve Carell is no stranger to singing in his movies. Whether it be "Let My Love Open the Door" in Dan In Real Life or "Afternoon Delight" in Anchorman, the dude has some chops and he's not afraid to bust out in song. But for his next comedy, singing could be a big part of his performance. Carell has signed on to star in and produce a feature remake of the documentary Of All The Things about songwriter Dennis Lambert. The film will star Carell as Lambert, a minor...

The writing team of Jonathan Goldstein and John Francis Daley just closed a deal at Warner Bros to script a feature vehicle for Steve Carell based on the 2008 documentary Of All The Things. That film told the story of how songwriter/producer Dennis Lambert achieved rock star status late in life when he went on a singing tour of the Philippines, and discovered he was to Filipinos what Jerry Lewis is to the French. Carell's Warner Bros-based Carousel is producing with Bryan and Sean Furst. The studio acquired the remake rights, while Submarine is repping the docu's distribution rights. It's the second project the writers are doing for Carell, who's crafting film vehicles he'll do after completing his run on The Office. They also wrote Burt Wonderstone, a New Line comedy that has Carell wanting to play a Vegas magician who accidentally kills his performing partner and tries to rebound...

Steve Carell is being courted for the lead role in a remake of Dennis Lambert biopic Of All The Things. The singer became famous after forging hits ‘Rhinestone Cowboy’, ‘We Built This City’ and ‘Nightshift’, and is the subject of a 2008 documentary also entitled Of All The Things (below), which followed him during a five-date comeback tour at the age of 60. Warner Bros are now planning on creating a fictional recreation of that tour, and they want Carell to play Lambert. No word yet how they...

Standing in front of a packed crowd at the IFC Center last night before the SXSW-presented New York City premiere of his doc Of All The Things, Jody Lambert contemplated his good fortune. "To have Janet Pierson introduce the movie, to be part of Stranger Than Fiction, to have John Pierson send you an email...it's kind of like Bonertown, USA." To say that there were boners all around might be an exaggeration, but Lambert's goofy, feel-good film definitely pleased the crowd. Jody's father Dennis Lambert is the songwriter and/or producer of dozens of mainstream pop-rock hits, from "Baby Come Back" (after the screening, Lambert noted that its use in Swiffer commercials has been "very lucrative") to "Ain't No Woman" to (my personal favorite) "Do The Freddie." After spending twenty-plus years writing hits for o ...
