This week Gary Oldman told CNN about the time he almost lost the Dark Knight Rises script. He panicked because his script was the only one that included the actual ending of the film, but luckily he found it. Also, we’ve got some neat card ideas for Valentine’s Day, and a couple of trailers. Catch up below.
Clint Eastwood has been working so hard and so much, it’s easy to be bowled over that an 81-year-old has churned out nearly a film a year for over two decades (generally if he takes a year off it’s because he directed two the year previous). For his latest he’s assembled Leonardo DiCaprio, Naomi Watts, and Armie Hammer for a portrait of one of the most important and powerful men of the 20th Century: J. Edgar Hoover, who developed the Federal Bureau of Investigations into the complicated and powerful organization it is now. But J. Edgar is sadly undercooked, with all the juicy tales of Hoover and none congealing.
After weeks of will she or won’t she, Naomi Watts has finally signed on the dotted line to join Clint Eastwood’s upcoming biopic J. Edgar. According to Variety, the Oscar nominated actress has been cast in the role of Helen Gandy. It’s the same part that was originally offered to Charlize Theron, who eventually turned it down.
Warner Bros and Christopher Nolan are still on the lookout for the female lead in the upcoming Batman sequel, The Dark Knight Rises. Last week, we revealed that Charlize Theron, Vera Farmiga, and Kacie Thomas were all potential candidates for two roles: Julie Madison and Sarah Essen. Today Deadline is reporting that the competition just got a little stiffer thanks to the group of talented actresses placed on the new shortlist. Take a look…
In theaters now is the action-packed, political, intelligent, thrill-ride of the fall, Fair Game, with Sean Penn and Naomi Watts. Director Doug Liman managed to break the boundaries of normal film-making and create something that not only entertains and informs audiences but also has an impact on their lives. This is one of those films that cannot be missed because it effects you, right now, today.
We here at ScreenCrave are huge fans of the film and despite it’s lack off box office success, this film deserves to be seen. As a special little treat Summit has sent over some exclusive footage from the film. So unless you’ve seen the film, check out some never seen before footage from the film…
Every once in a while a film comes along that changes the way that you look at your current life, the way you look at politics and makes you question all the information being thrown at you. Director Doug Liman brings us quite possibly the most important film you can see this year, Fair Game starring Naomi Watts and Sean Penn.
Find out why you can’t miss this film below…
Watch out guys, director Doug Liman is once again on a mission to “find the facts.” The Bourne Identity helmer has a new film entitled Fair Game with Naomi Watts and Sean Penn and it has conspiracy written all over it. This is a film where the words “top secret,” “cover up,” and “exposed” will be used more than once. After watching this trailer you’ll quickly learn that there’s nothing fair about this game (zing!). Take a look…
Mother and Child is an unconventional family drama that centers on the subject of adoption. It shows the effects of giving away a child as well as the highs and lows of bringing one into your life. The film was written and directed by Rodrigo Garcia with a cast led by the amazingly talented Annette Bening. Without being too preachy or sentimental the film examines what really makes a family. Is it blood ties or emotional relationships?
Sony Pictures Classics has just released the official trailer for director Rodrigo Garcia’s family drama about different perspectives on adoption in Mother and Child starring Naomi Watts, Annette Bening, Kerry Washington, Jimmy Smits and Samuel L. Jackson.
Although this film looks like it could be quiet deep and emotional, there are so many good, serious, depressing movies coming out it makes me crave more Despicable Mes and Hot Tub Time Machines. That being said, I’ll be giving this one a go later this week if only to see if Bening can top her stellar performance in The Kids Are Alright.
