I know it’s very early days yet, but I have a feeling that Ben Affleck’s Argo could well be my film of the year. His directorial debut and follow-up in Gone Baby Gone and The Town were beyond impressive, and I can’t wait to see what he has in store for us third time around. [...]
Matt Damon is undoubtedly an uncommonly accomplished man. An Oscar-winning writer (whatever you might make of the theories pertaining to William Goldman’s involvement with Good Will Hunting), a lauded actor, a very gifted impressionist and comedian and it looked like he was going to add “director” to that impressive list. Damon had his eye on [...]
Argo, Ben Affleck’s third time directing a feature film, is by far one of the films I’m most looking forward to in 2012. By far. Both of his last films, Gone Baby Gone and The Town, were Oscar-nominated, and both were brilliant. The Town, especially, took the box office a little by storm last year [...]
We take time for granted and it’s odd how a year can completely change your life. Ben Affleck was struggling to get his acting career off the ground with only bit parts in relatively ignored films bar, in what would become a recurring role with Kevin Smith, Mallrats and Chasing Amy. It has been said [...]
Terrence Malick has never been the most prolific of directors, having tended to take a hiatus of at least several years after most of his films, but perhaps that trend is changing. After gaps of twenty, seven and then six years between Days of Heaven, The Thin Red Line, The New World and The Tree [...]
Ben Affleck competes for the title of Hollywood’s most in demand director with two big gigs in the works, one featuring his old Good Will Hunting buddy, and another which marks quite a departure from his previous work. Collider are reporting that the duo may reteam (it hasn’t been officially announced as yet) in a [...]
In the past four years, Ben Affleck has been firing on all cylinders, showing no sign of slowing down. He made his incredible directorial debut with his brother Casey Affleck heading up the cast in Gone Baby Gone, and then followed this up last year with his immense second effort, The Town, which he led [...]
To mark the release of The Company Men on DVD and Blu-ray NOW, Universal Pictures have given us five copies of the movie for you to win on DVD. When you fall from grace, you often fall hard. Academy Award®* winners Ben Affleck, Tommy Lee Jones, Chris Cooper and Kevin Costner star in this compelling [...]
Here’s come a long way since playing the loving but crazed father in Malcolm in the Middle. Currently winning tons of plaudits for his role as mild mannered science teacher-turned crystal meth “cook” and dealer in TV’s Breaking Bad, Bryan Cranston is up for two roles in a couple of high-profile feature films. Variety is [...]
Time for another Hollywood remake of a successful French thriller from the last few years back, you say? Early this year saw the 2008 French film Pour Elle (Anything for Her) remodelled for an US audience and retitled The Next Three Days. Starring Russell Crowe and Elizabeth Banks, the film did extremely modest business in [...]
Alan Arkin is the first name in negotiations to join Ben Affleck’s next directorial project, Argo, set in the midst of the Iran hostage crisis that ran from November 1979 to January 1981, Variety report. Arkin is a bit of an acting veteran, known for Catch-22 back in 1970 to Edward Scissorhands in 1990 and [...]
I often like the international versions of movie posters as they give us a completely different look and take on a movie. The Tree of Life was the one to watch at Cannes this year and after winning the Palme d’Or, it became even more so. The Tree of Life is Malick’s fifth feature-length movie [...]
Terrence Malick’s long awaited film The Tree of Life inevitably split the critics at Cannes where it took its bow and while release dates here in the UK have moved back and forwards we’re now staring down a release of the 8th of July and there is a great deal of anticipation for Malick’s film. [...]
Deadline are reporting that Terrence Malick’s The Tree of Life, which won the Palme d’Or at Cannes last month, the highest award given at Cannes, has finally got its UK release date. Mark your calendars for 8th July, everybody. It’s going to be a great day. Malick’s latest film, the first he’s made in six [...]
THR are reporting that 20th Century Fox have hired Brad Caleb Kane, writer-producer of Fox’s popular series, Fringe, to write the script for the upcoming reboot of Daredevil. Last seen on the screen back in 2003 with Ben Affleck then taking the titular role, this new film is to be directed by British music and [...]
Just last week, Rachel Weisz was in talks for Sam Raimi’s upcoming Oz: The Great and Powerful, and now Deadline is reporting that she’s also in deeper talks to take the female lead in Tony Gilroy’s The Bourne Legacy. Both films are expected to be very successful, so Weisz will have a hard choice on [...]
During a roundtable junket with Martin Sheen for The Way, Sheen went on some fantastic tangents and rather than include them in our coverage of the The Way interviews (which can be found here) we’ve instead collected them here. On the question of working on The Amazing Spider-Man Sheen spoke briefly about his experience on [...]
All change for Baz Lurhmann’s big screen 3D adaptation of F. Scott Fitzgerald’s The Great Gatsby as a long rumoured cast member walks away while any saunters in. e Affleck’s name has been floating around the project for a while now and he was rumoured to be set to star as Tom Buchanan, and now [...]
Ben Affleck (The Town) is in talks to star in The Great Gatsby, Warner Bros. Pictures’ 3D adaptation of F. Scott Fitzgerald’s literary classic. Affleck is circling the role of Tom Buchanan and, if successful in his bid, would star opposite Leonardo DiCaprio (Inception), Tobey Maguire (Spider-Man) and Carey Mulligan (Never Let Me Go). Midwesterner Nick Carraway [...]
David Slade (30 Days of Night) has been hired by 20th Century Fox to direct a new Daredevil film. Daredevil, based on the Marvel character of the same name, was released in 2003 to mixed reviews, and starred Ben Affleck, Jennifer Garner, Colin Farrell and Jon Favreau. The as-yet-untitled Daredevil film was written by David [...]
