trailer break: ‘Up in the Air’
24 November 2009 7:59 AM, PST | www.flickfilosopher.com | See recent FlickFilosopher news »
Wow: killer trailer, full of zingers and pathos. I love this movie already. It’s Michael Clayton as a dramedy! It’s Thank You for Smoking but sweeter! It’s George Clooney in Love! At least that’s what Paramount wants us to think. And I’ll go along with that for now. Unless it turns out that it’s ten thousand kiddie balloons that loft Clooney up in the air. That’s such a cliché. Up in the Air opens in the U.S. in limited release on December 4 and wide on December 25; it open in the U.K. on January 15, 2010. »

10 closest Oscar races in the past 20 years
23 November 2009 1:12 PM, PST | Gold Derby | See recent Gold Derby news »
One of the shrewdest Oscarologists on the planet is Tariq Khan of Fox News, who often generously shares his views of current and past derbies with Gold Derby readers. Here he takes a nostalgic look at the past two decades, offering his take on the most competitive derbies. Words below are Tariq's. Thanks, m'friend!
We’ve often discussed those Oscar races that seem just too close to call . . . where it’s clear (or at least seems clear) that the eventual winner will nab the Oscar with only a few more votes than his or her nearest competitor. While we can never really know for sure (unless we get one of those top jobs at the accounting firm of PricewaterhouseCoopers,) we do have some idea of what may have been the closest races in Oscar history. Allow me to present what I believe were the 10 closest acting races over the course of the past 20 years. »

Video - 'Hurt Locker' Q & A with Kathryn Bigelow
14 November 2009 3:43 PM, PST | GetTheBigPicture.net | See recent Get The Big Picture news »
With the Oscar deadline about six weeks away, there still doesn't seem to be enough films to completely quiet the mid-year run of The Hurt Locker. Though I don't expect it to win a lot, I still feel it's the year's best movie and should and will be nominated for the biggest awards - Best Picture, probably Best Actor, Best Director, probably Best Original Screenplay, and very likely Best Cinematography, as well as a few other tech awards (editing, sound editing).
Recently, writer-director Tony Gilroy (Michael Clayton) led a DGA discussion about the film with director Kathryn Bigelow and writer Mark Boal, on whose own experiences as a journalist in Iraq The Hurt Locker is based. We also see co-star Anthony Mackie and hear from producer Greg Shapiro (I believe).
I wish this were longer, because we never actually hear from Boal. But we do get a lot about exactly »

Movie Poster of the Week: "Up in the Air"
13 November 2009 8:05 AM, PST | The Auteurs | See recent The Auteurs news »
If anyone merits the “big head” poster treatment so expertly parodied by Funny or Die it would be everybody’s favorite movie star George Clooney. Lately, however, Clooney has started to disappear from his own posters: his eyes were obscured by the title in the Syriana poster and his face was out of focus and again covered in lettering for Michael Clayton. The poster for Up in the Air, however, has his most subdued presence of all: a small dark silhouette dwarfed by the movie title in sober Helvetica high up on an airport information board.
What I like about this poster, beyond its symmetrical simplicity, is how it looks up close, when you can see the pixels of the monitor, something that is lost when you see the poster at anything but full size. I do feel the poster is maybe a little too pleased with itself (which is »
First Look at George Clooney in Spy Thriller ‘The American’
11 November 2009 4:19 PM, PST | FilmSchoolRejects.com | See recent FilmSchoolRejects news »
More updates are coming down the pipe from the American Film Market in Santa Monica, with our friends at Collider uncovering a first look at George Clooney in Control director Anton Corbijn's The American. In the film, Clooney will play "an artful assassin with a lengthy track record, constantly on the move and always watching his back. When an assignment goes wrong and a lover ends up dead, he vows that the next job will be his last. This final obligation takes him to a picturesque town nestled amongst lush Italian hills, its historical piazzas bursting with life. But to Jack, every location is a trap and every person a potential threat. Still, he surprises himself, enjoying confessional conversations over Armagnac with an insightful priest and slipping into an affair with a local beauty. But by letting his guard down, Jack may be tempting fate. A dangerous shadow-dweller shows every sign of closing in, and »

The Men Who Stare At Goats Review
5 November 2009 11:14 PM, PST | FilmJunk | See recent FilmJunk news »
The Men Who Stare At Goats Directed by: Grant Heslov Written by: Peter Straughan (screenplay), Jon Ronson (book) Starring: George Clooney, Ewan McGregor, Kevin Spacey, Jeff Bridges Since the dawn of modern warfare, people have fantasized about the concept of super soldiers, enhanced human beings that could defend their homeland and give them the edge over their enemies. At this point, we're not just talking about fictional characters like Captain America, either; today's soldiers really are trained to push their body beyond its physical and mental limits, and outfitted with bleeding edge technological advancements. Military interests drive scientific research like few other fields, leading to all kinds of wacky pills and biological experiments. But would it surprise you to learn that U.S. military has delved into even stranger realms in the past, and may still be doing so today? In his 2004 book, The Men Who Stare At Goats, Welsh »

Clooney's 'Men Who Stare at Goats' Fun But Forgettable
5 November 2009 9:25 PM, PST | CinemaSpy | See recent CinemaSpy news »
At times, The Men Who Stare at Goats seems like it could be a minor entry in the Coen brothers’ filmography. Quirky dialogue and a few Coens alumni—George Clooney, Jeff Bridges, and Stephen Root—populate the film, and it certainly veers toward the surreal. Though the movie gets a few laughs with its absurdist humor and winks at the audience, it never reaches the inspired lunacy of the Coens’ previous work, or even approaches the heights of similar war satires such as Three Kings and Catch-22.
Despite elements that make it seem more science fiction than non-fiction, the debut from actor/writer Grant Heslov is based on Jon Ronson’s factual book. Ewan McGregor employs a slightly distracting American accent to play Bob Wilton, an Ann Arbor journalist. In investigating a routine story, he interviews Gus Lacey (Root). At first, Lacey's stories about life as a psychic spy seem crazy, »
Clooney To Topline 'The Descendants'
3 November 2009 3:03 AM, PST | Screenrush | See recent Screenrush news »
George Clooney is not a man to stay still for long. Not content with having three films come out within a couple of months of one-another (Fantastic Mr. Fox, The Men Who Stare at Goats and Up in the Air) and shooting Anton Corbijn's The American it looks very much like Clooney's going to star in Alexander Payne's The Descendants (Sideways and About Schmidt).
According to Variety the Oscar winning actor is in talks to star in the dramatic comedy by as a father who takes his two daughters on the road to track down his wife's lover.
We here at Screenrush have long been amazed it George's remarkable ability - given the fact that he's one of the most handsome, charming and intelligent men on the planet! - to express pathos (think Michael Clayton and Up in the Air, the upcoming comedy from Juno director Jason Reitman »
Johnny Depp, Leonardo DiCaprio, George Clooney: Who'd make the best Frank Sinatra?
28 October 2009 1:00 PM, PDT | EW.com - PopWatch | See recent EW.com - PopWatch news »
Back in May, we heard about the Frank Sinatra biopic that Martin Scorsese will be directing with Universal producing. Now mega-stars Johnny Depp, Leonardo DiCaprio and George Clooney are rumored (courtesy of UK newspaper The Guardian) to be in contention for the role of Old Blue Eyes. It's probably important to note here that Clooney's rep, Stan Rosenfeld, told EW, "I wouldn't believe anything I read in British papers" -- which isn't exactly a denial -- while a Universal rep said the studio had no comment. (Reps for DiCaprio and Depp were not immediately available for comment.) Fact or fiction, »

On Meeting Tilda Swinton
20 October 2009 3:00 AM, PDT | TribecaFilm.com | See recent Tribeca Film news »
Sitting in the City Winery, anxious to see one of the true goddesses of the screen on stage for her New Yorker Festival interview, I was hypnotized by the screens to either side of the stage. Images streamed from a wordless Derek Jarman short Depuis le Jour (1987). Tilda Swinton's smiling face and long cascading red hair kept reappearing, as if we were being watched by the ghost of her youth. When the current familiar incarnation of Swinton walked on stage minutes later, blond and androgynous, the flickering images were gone but the youthful actress remained. She was still wordless, too. Swinton's mic wasn't working... but the technical snafu proved welcome. There was slightly more time to acclimate oneself to her ageless presence in the flesh. Swinton is now a 48-year-old Oscar winner (for Michael Clayton), bonafide celebrity, and fashion icon for her eerie and singular beauty (who is often cited, »
Clooney Talks 'Fox,' 'Goats,' and 'Up in the Air'
19 October 2009 9:18 AM, PDT | GetTheBigPicture.net | See recent Get The Big Picture news »
There's a massive interview with George Clooney in The Telegraph, which stems from the actor-writer-director-producer having three films in the hopper for this fall. He was doing press for all three - Fantastic Mr. Fox, The Men Who Stare at Goats, and Up in the Air - while he was in England, and discusses Goats and Up in the Air at considerable length.
He also reveals another one of his great practical jokes, this one a payback prank against Matt Damon. But the most interesting part of the whole piece is Clooney's attitude toward the type of films he makes these days. Because he got famous fairly late - he was already in his 30s when E.R. debuted - Clooney gained a lot of perspective from his failures, particularly when he found film success.

Robert Redford’s ‘The Conspirator’ Adds Six to Cast
16 October 2009 10:00 AM, PDT | ScreenRant.com | See recent Screen Rant news »
Wow, where did all the sudden interest in joining Robert Redford’s Abraham Lincoln assassination flick, The Conspirator, come from? Over the last few days a total of six names have been added to the cast list and they are (in alphabetical order): Alexis Bledel (Sin City), Toby Kebbell (RocknRolla), Kevin Kline (A Fish Called Wanda), Justin Long (Drag Me To Hell), Evan Rachel Wood (The Wrestler) and Tom Wilkinson (Michael Clayton). The six new additions join the previously announced James McAvoy and Robin Wright Penn.
Being directed by Redford from a script by James Solomon, The Conspirator focuses on the real-life Mary Surratt (being played by Penn), one of the alleged co-conspirators of The Lincoln Assassination, as well as focusing on the man, Frederick Aiken (being played by McAvoy), who reluctantly agreed to defend her in court. The film is different from the other Lincoln-related movie in the »

Fangoria Archives: Originally posted 7/15/2008
It has only taken a decade or so, but the children of The Blair Witch Project have come of age in the last couple of years, and found-footage horror is flourishing on big and small screens. A handful of direct Blair Witch knockoffs/spoofs notwithstanding, the vérité form has only really been embraced very recently by fright filmmakers, ranging from old masters (George A. Romero with Diary Of The Dead) to genre-feature first-timers (the Cloverfield gang), from foreign practitioners ([Rec]’s Jaume Balagueró and Paco Plaza) to those remaking them (the Dowdle brothers of Quarantine). While the first-person approach can give screen terror an immediacy that traditional filmmaking styles cannot, it also carries the limitation of restricting what the audience-surrogate characters can plausibly capture on their cameras.
Home Movie, the writing/directing debut of actor Christopher Denham, doesn’t quite get over that hurdle, but for a lot of its running time, »

New Trailer and Release Date for ‘Up in the Air’
2 October 2009 8:33 AM, PDT | ScreenRant.com | See recent Screen Rant news »
Chances are you’re familiar with Jason Reitman’s last movie, Juno. The film garnered him an Academy Award Nomination for Best Director, though screenwriter and former erotic dancer Diablo Cody, along with “it girl” Ellen Page stole most of his thunder. For most people, Reitman’s name probably doesn’t ring any bells.
With Up in the Air, that might be about to change. And we have a trailer that will show you why.
Up in the Air, adapted from a bestselling novel by Walter Kirn, stars George Clooney as Ryan Bingham, a middle-aged professional down-sizer. Bingham spends the majority of his days traveling, going from city to city playing message boy for bosses who don’t have the heart to tell their employees that they’re fired. His life’s goal is racking up ten million frequent flyer miles; he keeps his relationships casual so he’s free to fly whenever business calls. »

Up in the Air Trailer
2 October 2009 8:14 AM, PDT | Beyond Hollywood | See recent Beyond Hollywood news »
George Clooney plays a kind of specialist. He fires people. Like in Michael Clayton, he cleans up situations which his bosses deem too messy, dealing with those employees who literally need to be escorted out of the building by police. As such, he travels a lot, and that distance would be enough to put him on the moon. That’s the concept behind Jason Reitman’s latest film, Up in the Air, which is like his previous full length features, Thank You for Smoking and Juno, in that people who treat the world with casual indifference by looming just a little above the fray get too close to the heat and are mollified by the very thing they try to be indifferent to. In the hands of a lesser director, such stories might sound like routine Lifetime movies of the week (you know, like a doctor who fixes hearts, but »
