BOB MARLEY: ONE LOVE Featurette

Has Fifty Shades Of Grey Found A Director

After a lengthy search, Universal and Focus Features seem to be closer to starting production on their much-anticipated adaptation of “ Fifty Shades of Grey .” Several sources tell Variety that while no deal is in place, Joe Wright is the choice to helm the feature adaptation of the steamy E.L. James novel. Though some reports say Wright has not won the job, one insider very close to the production says he is the man. Universal had no comment. U, Focus and producers Michael De Luca and Dana Brunetti had been looking for some time for a director who could bring prestige to a book described by many as “mommy porn.” It’s a tricky project since following the book closely would inevitably result in an commercially undesirable NC-17 rating, while going easy on the sensuous elements of the story could disappoint fans of the runaway bestseller that started as an e-book derived from “Twilight” fan fiction. The other directors considered for the job included “Monster” helmer Patty J

Pelé Movie On It's Way

If Goal didn't do it for you and you're still wrapping your head around the intricacies of Bend It Like Beckham , news of a Pelé movie will be like balm to your troubled, football-loving soul. Edison Arantes do Nascimento , the Brazilian superstar and arguably the greatest player to ever kick a goal, is getting the full biopic treatment in a movie that tracks his life from a poor upbringing in São Paulo to fame and glory as a 17 year-old superstar at the 1958 World Cup in Sweden. No doubt there'll also be plenty on his years in a Allied POW camp and his heroic performance against a Wehrmacht XI in Paris. Wait, that's Escape To Victory . Scratch that. The so-far untitled Pelé movie has a heavyweight production team, with Brian Grazer , veteran of truth-life stories like Rush, Frost/Nixon and J. Edgar , and Ivan Orlic, Kim Roth and Dany Wolf overseeing things. If you're in Cannes and have some spare cash, Exclusive Media International will be touting the p

First Look At James McAvoy From X-Men: Days Of Future Past

When he’s not napping in his trailer or, you know, directing the movie, Bryan Singer has been the source of a regular flow of pictures from behind the scenes of X-Men: Days Of Future Past . Today’s brings a retro-tastic look at James McAvoy ’s Charles Xavier. Serpico indeed! From the looks of this, Xavier will be hanging on to his locks for a while yet, and, given that the portion of the film featuring the First Class cast will be set in the 1970s, he’s gone for it, including a mane that would even impress Hugh Jackman ’s Logan. Days Of Future Past finds the X-team in real trouble in a dark alternate future where mutants are hunted down, put in internment camps or killed by the robotic sentinels. To stop this happening will require the efforts not only of the present-day team (including Jackman, Shawn Ashmore, Ellen Page, Halle Berry, Patrick Stewart, Ian McKellen, Anna Paquin and Daniel Cudmore ), but also the younger versions of some of them in the '70s (with McAvoy, Mi

MAN OF STEEL UK TV Spot. New Footage

WB has delivered another great TV spot for MAN OF STEEL with new footage. Keeps looking better and better. The story remains mostly the same (albeit tweaked by Christopher Nolan and David Goyer): Kal-El is sent to Earth and adopted by wholesome, humane farm folk Jonathan ( Kevin Costner ) and Martha ( Diane Lane ) Kent. There, he assumes the identity of Clark Kent and struggles to blend in with humanity while dealing with the fact that he’s a god amongst ants. Then General Zod ( Michael Shannon ) shows up, demanding that Kal-El pledge allegiance to him lest he start destroying this planet that his fellow Kryptonian has come to love and cherish. And that’s without investigative journalist Lois Lane. Watch the clip after the Jump... Please Leave A Comment-

The Great Gatsby Review. Will Audiences Flock To The Epic Great Gatsby?

The Great Gatsby Review By: MattInRC The year's first Oscar contender The Great Gatsby represents a must-see. The question is, will moviegoers take the chance? Among the worst assumptions of Summer films is that their end results are merely a cacophony of thunderous explosions, Science Fiction slaughter, and Comic Book reboots. But once in awhile, we're jolted back to reality with truly excellent fare. That's where The Great Gatsby finds itself, a film that's top-shelf in its direction, true to the source material, and a wonder on the eyes. Based on the F. Scott Fitzgerald novel from 1925, our story follows the parallel paths of the writer ( Tobey Maguire , Spiderman series), the blonde beauty Daisy ( Carey Mulligan , Drive), and the reclusive mega-millionaire Jay Gatsby ( Leonardo DiCaprio , Shutter Island, Inception), as 1920's America drinks and spends its way into The Great Depression. When Maguire's Nick Carraway moves into a small home on t

Tom Cruise Signs On For Mission: Impossible 5

It looks like Ethan Hunt isn't ready to retire to a desk job just yet. Tom Cruise will run, jump, shoot, crash through glass and maybe even scale another ridiculously tall building at least one more time as he's officially signed on to produce and star in " Mission: Impossible 5 ." A writer and director for the project has yet to be announced, though all signs point to Christopher McQuarrie , who recently worked with Cruise on this past holiday season's most underappreciated offering, " Jack Reacher ." In fact, McQuarrie tweeted that he was "deciding to accept" the "M:I-5" directing gig this past February, though there's since been no official follow-up. Back in November, Deadline reported that Cruise and co-producer J.J. Abrams were interested in McQuarrie taking over the "M:I" franchise, which is a top priority for Paramount after the Brad Bird-directed "Ghost Protocol" earned a global box office ta
