In a pre-Cannes move, Jennifer Garner and Michael Caine have joined Al Pacino, Annette Bening and Bobby Cannavale in Dan Fogelman’s “Imagine.” Denise DiNovi, Jessie Nelson and Nimitt Mankand are producing. Project had been set up at Warner Bros. but will be independently financed by Inimitable Pictures’ Nimitt Mankad and Shivani Rawat through a film fund backed by Manoj Bhargava, the founder of 5 Hour Energy. Script by Fogelman centers on a rocker ( played by Pacino ) who decides to change his life after discovering a letter written to him by John Lennon — prompting him to track down his biological son, whom he’s never met. Fogelman, whose writing credits include “Tangled,” “Crazy Stupid Love” and “My Mother’s Curse,” will make his directorial debut on “ Imagine .” Caine will portray the longtime manager of Pacino’s character and Garner will play his daughter in law. Garrrett told Variety that the project will tap into the expanding demo of aging moviegoers. “There’s a

It might have been an all-but foregone conclusion, but it’s still good to bring word that Marvel’s Agents Of S.H.I.E.L.D. (or, as we’ll all be referring to it to save time, S.H.I.E.L.D.) has handily scored a place on the ABC network’s schedule across the pond. Now the first teaser footage of the show is online. Featuring Clark Gregg as the myseriously re-incarnated Agent Phil Coulson, the show will focus on a small, highly select group of Agents from the worldwide law-enforcement organization.

Joining them on their journey into mystery is new recruit and compu

On behalf of Cinedigm and Tribeca Film , we are pleased to announce that the heartfelt comedy, THE ENGLISH TEACHER , opens in select theaters starting this Friday, May 17th! Julianne Moore, Nathan Lane , Michael Angarano, Greg Kinnear and Lily Collins star in the film that was an official selection of the 2013 Tribeca Film Festival about a high school English teacher learning to take risks and refusing to live by the book. Linda Sinclair ( Julianne Moore ) is a forty-year-old unmarried high school English teacher in the small town of Kingston, Pennsylvania. She shares a small apartment with two Siamese cats and her rich collection of great literature. She maintains no close personal relationships aside from those she has with her favorite authors and stories. Her life is far less complicated than the dramas she devours on the page, and she likes it that way. THE ENGLISH TEACHER opens in Los Angeles at the Sundance Sunset Cinema and Laemmle Playhouse this Friday, May 17th, and in

Beautiful vistas of the Earth. George Clooney being a reassuring astronaut. Explosions. Sandra Bullock doing her best Shia LaBeouf impression (you’ll understand when you watch it): it can only be the teaser trailer for Alfonso Cuaron’s Gravity . Bullock plays Dr Ryan Stone, a medical engineer in orbit for her first shuttle mission, working alongside veteran space jockey Matt Kowalsky ( Clooney ), on his last trip before retirement (because, like police officers, that never ends badly). While they’re out on a routine spacewalk tragedy strikes and their shuttle is destroyed in a random accident. The pair finds themselves suddenly very much alone, tethered only to each other and floating off into the inky depths. There’s no radio contact with Earth, and as panic sets in, they discover the only way to get home might be to go deeper into space. 'Deeper?' we hear you think and then say out loud, 'surely not!' But soothe yourselves: that will all be explained. We

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

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
