BOB MARLEY: ONE LOVE Featurette

Joseph Gordon-Levitt To Take "The Walk"

Joseph Gordon-Levitt will be on our screens later next year playing real-life high-wire walker Philippe Petit in The Walk. And he’s seriously considering another based-on-reality role for Oliver Stone, reportedly circling the lead in the director’s Edward Snowden film.

Stone and producer Moritz Borman have bought up two prime sources for their film, Time Of The Octopus, a novel by Snowden’s Russian lawyer Anatoly Kucherena, giving him access to the story of the whistle blower who reluctantly sought asylum in Russia and had to wait to see if the country would grant it. The filmmakers also have the option on Guardian journalist Luke Hardin’s book The Snowden Files: The Inside Story Of The World’s Most Wanted Man.

Pitched as a thriller, Stone’s film will chart the experiences of Snowden, the whistleblowing National Security Agency contractor who began leaking classified documents to former Guardian journalist Glenn Greenwald in June 2013. Snowden, currently stuck in Russia after the US cancelled his passport, has become a polarizing figure between those – such as the director himself – who consider him a patriotic hero, and those who feel he’s a traitor.

With a December start date pencilled in for shooting to kick off in Munich, Stone clearly wants to get out ahead of any competition, including Bond producers Michael G. Wilson and Barbara Broccoli, who have their own project bubbling away based on Greenwald’s own upcoming book.

The risk will be in tackling a story that has still to fully crystalize and which is so recent that it could end up inspiring as much antipathy as interest, a fate that partly befell Julian Assange story The Fifth Estate.

There is so much imaginative collaboration that went into this movie, which really paid off. It feels like every component of the moviemaking became a unified whole.

Sex Tape Review: Overly Sexual, Rude, Vulgar, and Absolutely Hilarious

The raunchy Sex Tape will divide audiences and critics, but who cares? Sex Tape suggests a growing practice among loving partners: that of making a raunchy testament of their escapades for posterity. But what happens when that evidence gets seen by friends, neighbors, and even the mailman? This is the plot that pits Jay (Jason Segel) and Annie (Cameron Diaz) in an effort to secure every iPad gift Jay has given, his record company playlists being the envy of the recipients, but which has also inadvertently spread the video to every device. The reason for the act - termed in the movie as pulling "the full Lincoln " for its three-hour length - stems from the couple's non-existent social life, brought on by the constant demands of their children. The couple has a lot to lose: a burgeoning business relationship between Annie and Hank (Rob Lowe) could end if the iPad she's given to Hank exposes the video, and so the couple sets out to reclaim and wipe the incrim
