New Indiana Jones to Premiere at Cannes | Movie News | 4/24/2008
I wonder if TVGuide.com would want to send someone (me!!!) to cover this awesome event. Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull will be premiering at the Cannes Film Festival, which runs from May 14-25. Thierry Fremaux, the festival's head, said the presence of Steven Spielberg and the stars of the fourth installment of the Indiana Jones film franchise, which will premiere outside the main competition, would ensure "a magnificent red carpet," reported Reuters. Mega-stars Harrison Ford, Cate Blanchett and director-producers Spielberg and George Lucas are expected to attend.The red carpet will also sizzle with the likes of Scarlett Johanson, Penelope Cruz and Javier Bardem who will be promoting their Woody Allen film, Vicky Cristina Barcelona. Other highly anticipated premieres include Clint Eastwood's The Changeling with Angelina Jolie, and Steven Soderbergh's four-hour epic, Che, based on the life of the revolutionary Ernesto "Che" Guevara. Gee, seems as though... read more
Indiana Jones Cast, Producers Take Risky Route to Profits | Movie News | 4/21/2008
When Indiana Jones and the Crystal Skull debuts worldwide May 22, the cast and producers won't just be taking risks in search of treasure, they'll be risking their real-life earnings from the film's profit. Eschewing the usual upfront fees that talent typically get before a film even opens, the new Indy film is set for an adventure in deal-making, in which no one gets a cut of the profit unless the movie brings home the bucks at the box office. With film production and marketing costs leaping through the roof, says the L.A. Times, Paramount Pictures set up a different kind of arrangement for the Crystal Skull, which cost $400 million to make and market. Executive producer George Lucas, director Steven Spielberg, stars Harrison Ford and Shia LaBeouf and other potential earners from the movie won't see much of a payday until that amount is recouped and exceeded. Skull's talent, though, probably don't have much to worry about. The first three of the Indiana Jones flicks earned $1.2... read more
Spielberg's Social Network Does What Exactly? | Today's News: Our Take | 3/5/2008
Call me a Luddite, but I'm not as familiar with social networks as somebody who works for a website probably should be. So the news that Steven Spielberg would be launching a social network was kind of shrug-worthy for me, even more so when I discovered that said forum would be a venue where people could share their paranormal or extraterrestrial experiences (aka the worst cocktail party imaginable).Doesn't such a website already exist? Is Spielberg fishing for new material? The man's wide-ranging tastes have always impressed me, so maybe he's on to something. I loved his alien films, of course, but I also can't wait to see how he directs Liam Neeson as Abraham Lincoln in an upcoming biopic. But a spooky ghost-story website? I don't know; it seems a little beneath him.But, like I said, I'm ignorant in the ways of social networking. Educate me: Is this idea better than it sounds? — Mickey O'Connor read more
Movie News: The Coens Take on Yiddish, and More | Today's News: Our Take | 2/13/2008
They're on an awards season roll, but the Coen brothers are already on to their next projects. The No Country for Old Men filmmaking team and Scott Rudin are set to translate Michael Chabon's The Yiddish Policeman's Union, a contemporary noir murder mystery set in Alaska.... Mel Gibson, meanwhile, is being sued for breach of contract by a Passion of the Christ writer who claims the director misrepresented the film's budget, resulting in lowball remuneration.... Steven Spielberg, meanwhile, is stepping away from controversy, withdrawing from his role as artistic director of the 2008 Olympics in China. He's relinquishing the gig in protest of the Chinese government's policy on Sudan and the Darfur conflict. In a statement, Spielberg said, "I find that my conscience will not allow me to continue business as usual." — Anna Dimond read more
