Casey Affleck Reviews, Interviews & More
One of the more simple and yet extremely touching films of this years Sundance is Director David Lowery's feature film starring Rooney Mara and Casey Affleck, Ain’t Them Bodies Saints. The film tells the story of a passionate couple, who would do anything for one another, and are caught on the wrong side of law in the midst of a crime spree in...
This week, Casey Affleck landed his next project. He'll be directing and writing the story of baseball player Josh Hamilton. The first photo of James Franco as Oz: The Great And Powerful hit the web. And actor Gary Oldman went on Jimmy Kimmel to politely ask famous athletes to stop acting. All that and more below.
From fairy tales on, the supernatural and scary elements of children's entertainment has long been celebrated and decried. It all depends on the kids, but for every scaredy cat, there's the child who wants to watch Tim Burton's Nightmare Before Christmas on a loop. ParaNorman is the latest entry in the genre of macabre children's tales, and...
The Heist movie genre is filled with a number of great films, and usually a solid premise. Enacting a plan and following through - regardless of the unforseen complications - is inherently gripping, whether it's perpetrated by heroes or anti-heroes. But Ben Stiller, Matthew Broderick, Michael Pena, Casey Affleck, Gabourey Sidibe and Eddie Murphy in the Tower Heist...
Ray Liotta is doing legitimate film work again. The Goodfellas star has been cast in Andrew Dominik's upcoming feature Cogan's Trade. The drama is headlined by Brad Pitt and several other actors who are more than a little familiar with the director. We're talking about Casey Affleck and Sam Rockwell (who've both been confirmed).
Is Matt Damon ready to take a step behind the camera? According to close friend, fellow actor, and director Ben Affleck he is. Affleck recently sat down with MTV to promote his latest film The Town and spoke about another joint project him and his younger brother Casey have been working on. It's called The Trade, and the siblings wrote the...
I'm Still Here is Casey Affleck's directorial debut and a documentary about a lost year in the life of actor Joaquin Phoenix. Phoenix, who's also Affleck's brother in law, engaged in more than his fair share of outlandish behavior while in front of the camera, so much so, that people have concluded that it had to be fake -- it just had to. Well, according to Affleck...
Lets gets down to it. The film just premiered at The Venice Film Festival and much like the people there, the real reason you're going to watch I'm Still Here is to try and figure it out for yourselves, not because I tell you the score or the cinematography is so good. The question we've been asking ourselves since we heard the rumor that...
***Update: Read full I'm Still Here review now!***
Besides Black Swan, the most talked about film at this year's Venice Film Festival has been Casey Affleck's documentary, I'm Still Here. It chronicles a (lost) year in the life of actor turned aspiring hip hop artist Joaquin Phoenix as he steps outside of his...
Do you remember when Joaquin Phoenix was a young, talented, and handsome Oscar nominated actor whose career was on the incline? If so you must also vividly remember when all that went to crap after he stopped shaving, combing his hair, or exercising in any capacity. His new disgruntled look was only mirrored by his equally strange behavior and on the outside none of us had any idea what he...
Do you remember when Joaquin Phoenix was a respected up and coming actor? Do you remember when he received an Oscar nomination for his amazing performance as a psycho emperor in Gladiator? Most importantly do you remember when he went batshit crazy, started dressing like a hobo, and acting like he was under the influence of some serious drugs? That last moment in his...
The latest movie from prolific but patchy Michael Winterbottom, The Killer Inside Me, is faithfully adapted from a novel by black-hearted pulp writer Jim Thompson. It features a stand-out performance by Casey Affleck as the cold-blooded psycho of the title, but with walk-outs and angry reactions at Sundance earlier this year (listen to them here), it is already the...
The creepiness that is Michael Winterbottom's The Killer Inside Me has been released. The film that turned this year's Sundance Film Festival on its ear (listen to the outrage) is going after general audiences so get ready. The film stars Casey Affleck, Kate Hudson, and Jessica Alba as a trio involved in sex, murder, and more murder.
Deadline New York has just broke the scoop that Casey Affleck has officially completed the mockumentary he directed about his brother-in-law Joaquin Phoenix's metamorphosis from actor to hip-hop musician. For the past year or so it's been hard to tell if Phoenix has completely gone mad or if he's actually been doing it all for a film - if so this may be one of the best films ever created. After...
Out of all the films to get trashed at this year's Sundance Film Festival The Killer Inside Me took the cake. The audience's reaction to it was less than stellar (listen to the outrage) and at one point a woman had to be physically removed from the theater because she was shouting her disdain at the top of her lungs.
No matter how you feel about the film it's...
Last night after the premiere of Michael Winterbottom's film, The Killer Inside Me starring Casey Affleck, Kate Hudson and Jessica Alba, the director, producers and some of the actors walked out onto the stage and before anyone could ask a question an angry audience member decided to tell them "the film was so violent that she couldn't believe it was accepted into...
