So if you're going to be making an "existential erotic thriller," you could do much worse than hiring these three lovely and talented thesps who are joining Jake Gyllenhaal in this intriguing little project. Isabella Rossellini (legend), Melanie Laurent ("Beginners") and Sarah Gadon ("A Dangerous Method," "Cosmopolis") have all signed on the dotted line for "An Enemy," set to be directed by Canadian filmmaker Denis Villeneuve ("Incendies"). That's a pretty great collection of talent all around. Based on the book by literary titan José Saramago, and adapted by Javier Gullón, the story follows a history...

While he didn't get the win in 2011, Denis Villeneuve's Oscar nominated "Incendies" put the helmer on the map, Hollywood called and he suddenly found a few more options on his plate. Last year, he came on board the long developing Black List script "Prisoners" (which recently landed a lead in Hugh Jackman) as well as an adaptation of Russell Banks' "The Darling" with Jessica Chastain linked to a role. And then last month, he also put an adaptation of Joe Sacco's "Footsteps In Gaza" on his pile. But it's a new project that looks like ...

Over two years ago, a very early incarnation of the long, long developing Black List script "Prisoners" was put on hold. At the time Hugh Jackman was circling the lead, but wasn't quite locked down, with Antoine Fuqua set to direct, but it didn't come pass. And while a few more stars and directors came and went in the years since, the project is one that seems to have been lodged in Jackman's memory as he's now back to star. Alcon Entertainment have announced that the actor is back, and it will be hitting screens next ...

We love the new video for "CTRL 5" by Parisian synth-wave orchestra Collateral . The song will get a digital and vinyl release on Desire Records in April 2012 on a white vinyl 12" + digital download In case you've never heard of them up until now Collateral are a Parisian trio, polarised between synthetic hints and electric inspirations.

…e ora parliamo di un film di cui secondo me è meglio non sapere niente. Perciò, se non l’avete ancora visto, vi consiglio di non proseguire oltre con la lettura, anche se nel dirlo vado contro gli interessi del mio blog, e di recuperare prima il film che è una visione interessante. Non è l’ideale per una serata di svacco e intrattenimento leggero, piuttosto è un pugno allo stomaco, sappiate solo questo. …e ora parliamo di Kevin, almeno con chi ha visto il film, tutti gli altri continuino a loro rischio e pericolo… …e ora parliamo di Kevin ...

Filed under: News , Video , Television YouTube Phil Villeneuve is something of a viral legend around Toronto for plugging in his iPod and filming himself dancing to pop songs in public places, from grocery stores to subways to royal museums. His jaw-dropping routine to Robyn 's 'Fembot' at Toronto's Eaton Centre mall got tweeted by the Swedish pop start herself and Ke$ha even makes a personal appearance in a clip from last year, emerging from her tour bus to toss a champagne flute of glitter at Phil as 'Blow' blasts away on the soundtrack. So if Villeneuve seems a ...

La donna che canta (Canada 2010) Titolo originale : Incendies Regia : Denis Villeneuve Cast : Lubna Azabal, Mélissa Dèsormeaux-Poulin, Maxim Gaudette, Remy Girard, Abdelghafour Elaaziz, Allen Altman Genere : il passato ritorna Se ti piace guarda anche : Valzer con Bashir, Persepolis, La chiave di Sara La donna che canta non è il film biografia dedicato a Laura Pausini . Quello si intitolerebbe “La donna che canta male”. O ad essere proprio perfido, si intitolerebbe "La donna che caga (dalla bocca)". Sarò mica stato troppo cattivo? Ma va là, che sono ancora stato gentile, con tutte quelle che ci ha fatto e continua a farci ...

Quebecois filmmaker Denis Villeneuve has always been one of French-speaking Canada's most exciting filmmaking talents, thanks to the likes of "Maelström" and "Polytechnique," both of which won him Genie awards for Best Director, but last year saw him really start to make waves internationally with his Oscar-nominated drama "Incendies." That film saw him leap up Hollywood directorial wish-lists, with the filmmaker becoming attached to the long-gestating Black List script "Prisoners," while late last year saw reports that he'd be teaming up with Jessica Chastain for an adaptation of Russell Banks' novel "The Darling." But...

Se i Cannibal Telefilm Awards sono stati un po’ l’equivalente per questo blog degli Emmy, adesso arrivano gli Oscar cannibali, la versione de' noantri degli Academy Awards dedicati alle migliori visioni cinematografiche dell’annata 2011. Una cascata di premi e awards vari, molto vari. Alcuni stupidi, naturalmente. Si parte con la consegna del titolo più ambito del mondo (o quasi), il Cannibale d’Oro 2011 di miglior film dell’anno, che va a… Il cigno nero, come già noto. Qui di seguito trovate il riassunto della Top 40 (in realtà allargata a 43 titoli) dei film preferiti dell’anno ...

E così siamo arrivati in cima, fino ai dieci film che ho amato di più nel corso di questo 2011. Un momento tanto atteso. ATTESO? MA DOOOOVE? MA QUANDO? MA PERCHE’? DA CHIIIII? MA CHITTECONOSCE? Okay, chiedo gentilmente alle mie guardie del corpo personali di accompagnare fuori i soliti contestatori riottosi: “Usate le buone maniere, mi raccomando, ma se qualcuno oppone resistenza vi autorizzo a utilizzare i taser. Se no che ve li pago a fare?” Se l’anno scorso aveva trionfato in maniera molto contestata Amabili resti di Peter Jackson, per quanto riguarda il titolo di film Cannibale d ...

With 2011 winding down, all eyes are now on 2012 and what the future will bring. One project knocking around for a while is "Prisoners," and the new year should bring the film some better fortune. Making the Black List way back in 2009, the film has gone through three directors (Bryan Singer, Daniel Espinosa, and Antoine Fuqua), and a handful of potential stars, before settling on "Incendies" director Denis Villeneuve earlier this year. With Villeneuve recently lining up the Russell Banks adaptation "The Darling," we wondered what was happening with "Prisoners," and recently had the opportunity to speak with ...

Michael Fassbender looks to be a lock for a Best Actor nomination at the Academy Awards this year. The Academy race for Best Actress seems to be turning into quite a competition. Michelle Williams beat out Meryl Streep in both Boston and Toronto film critic awards. Lastly, Rango and The Adventures of Tintin continue to split the award votes in the Best Animated film category. Toronto Film Critics Association : 2011 Winners Best Picture : The Tree of Life Runners-up : The Artist, The Descendants Best Actor : Michael Shannon, Take Shelter Runners-up : George Clooney, The Descendants and Michael Fassbender, Shame Best Actress : Michelle ...

2011 certainly seems to be actress Jessica Chastain’s lucky year, as she had a series of fine performances in parts both big and small in acclaimed films ranging from “The Help” to Terrence Malick’s “The Tree Life.” Throw in turns in the apocalyptic “Take Shelter” and director John Madden’s thriller “The Debt,” and it certainly feels like it’s been the breakthrough year for Chastain’s up-and-coming career. It’s also no secret the actress's name has been on the lips of Hollywood casting agents for some time now, if you remember she beat out other ...
