The fourth long-player from the Baltimore duo is beautiful for the same reasons as its predecessors, writes Meryl Trussler.

While recent clips for the upcoming sequel “Men In Black III” continue to lead us to believe it was nothing but a giant payday for all involved, actor Tommy Lee Jones is always reliable, even with the treacle-filled trailer for his co-starring role with Meryl Streep in “Hope Springs” showing he’s willing to step outside his comfort zone so late in his career to bring some laughs. Well, Variety is reporting that Jones is now lining up his next directorial outing in the form of “The Homesman,” the pioneer-era tale of a woman who joins a outlawed man (Jones ...

If we had to make a list of older stars whose work has been consistently interesting and watchable (for the most part) throughout their careers, there’s no question that Tommy Lee Jones and Meryl Streep would certainly be near the top. Both willing to step into more dangerous territory later in their career with more challenging fare like “No Country for Old Men” or “Adaptation,” but also not afraid to go big in Hollywood cash-ins like “Men In Black” or “Mamma Mia,” both stars continue to delight audiences long after the expiration dates of many of their contemporaries. Now ...

Kevin Kline will play Romeo opposite Meryl Streep's Juliet for a one-night-only staged reading of Shakespeare's...

How do you follow a breakthrough performance that was name dropped by Meryl Streep and nominated for an Indie Spirit Award? How about doing a movie with Michael Fassbender, Chiwetel Ejiofor and Brad Pitt? Welcome to the big time Adepero Oduye. The Playlist has learned that the "Pariah" star is now in negotiations for the female lead in Steve McQueen's "Twelve Years A Slave." Financing for the pic is firming up and it will be yet another bold drama from the British filmmaker. Based on a true story, the plot follows Solomon Northup (Ejiofor), a free black man tricked ...

Back in February, Meryl Streep took home her third Oscar and placed it on her mantle, taking the prize for her performance as controversial British Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher in "The Iron Lady." But if you missed your shot to see her award-winning turn in theaters, the movie is now headed for the comfort of your own home. "The Iron Lady" tells the story of a “common” grocer’s daughter whose social ambition and steel will — along with the love of her husband and confidant, Denis (Jim Broadbent) — propelled her to unprecedented power in a world dominated by men. Combining ...

When Disney snatched up the Black List script "Saving Mr. Banks" back in February, not only was it one of the hottest buys of the year so far, there was added oomph by the fact the studio was already looking to cast Tom Hanks and Meryl Streep for the lead roles. And hell, landing one out of two ain't bad... Variety reports that talks are now underway for Hanks and Emma Thompson to star in the movie about a movie. Penned by rising writer Kelly Marcel (who penned the pilot of "Terra Nova," did an extensive, uncredited rewrite on ...

With the beloved Meryl Streep proving with "Mamma Mia!" and "Julie & Julia" that she can dominate summer just as well as the awards season, this August Columbia Pictures is hoping that the actress can once again get women out to theaters with "Hope Springs" (formerly known as "Great Hope Springs"). The first image has arrived for the film giving us a look at Streep and her co-star Tommy Lee Jones. The project, penned by TV scribe Vanessa Taylor, reteams the actress with "The Devil Wears Prada" helmer David Frankel, following a long-married couple who travel to a small town to ...

Jake Gyllenhaal è un attore pazzesco. O forse è un pazzo che fa l’attore. O forse è soltanto un attore perfetto per fare il pazzo. O forse ancora è tutte queste cose combinate insieme. Fatto sta che la sua ultima interpretazione è davvero folle. Nel senso buono del termine. Cioè, buono per un attore. Non buono per il suo personaggio, che è un matto pericoloso totale. Di quelli che se li incontri per strada, la tua vita cambia per sempre. Perché finisce. Un nuovo fratellino di Patrick Bateman, oltre allo Sean Bateman de Le regole dell’attrazione. Un American ...

Johnny Dowd sounds like no one else. The Ithaca, NY singer-songwriter follows his own path, releasing a string of memorable albums that have gained him a avid cult following, mainly in Europe. His new record is called No Regrets , 13 songs about 15 women who got under his skin. Dowd is the undisputed master of junkyard Americana, using almost forgotten old school equipment. The prominent sound on the album is a vintage Sixties drum machine, giving the songs a late night B-movie soundtrack feel. Kicking off with the menacing Betty , where he places a phone call to his high school ...

Horsefart lives Hey, I have pretty little to say about music these days, except: (1) Sleigh Bells are way better when they don't irk me w/ their clipping! (2) School of Seven Bells continue to be amazing and Ghostory is probably their best album, nice balance btw. On!Air!Library! and the electronic stuff! (3) Mixtapes are still a thing! Rick Ross! Elle Varner! Other people, probably! (4) Cassie might actually have a new album out, which means I'll probably have to give a "Russell-Crowe-for- Gladiator "-style consolation first place in 2012 since I stupidly missed Cassie in ...

You’ve probably heard about the Oscar curse – the mysterious jinx that some actors suffer after winning an Academy Award. The sad fact is that an Oscar win can have a disastrous effect on an actor’s career. Logic would dictate that winning the highly prestigious Oscar should catapult an actor’s career upward and guarantee success and career longevity. But many performers have seen their careers skid and plummet after they’ve collected their golden statue. Not all have become heralded Oscar-winners with unstoppable careers like Tom Hanks or Meryl Streep. After Jean Dujardin’s Oscar win for The ...
