The Broadway Oleanna has posted a January 3 closing notice. Despite a movie-star cast of its own (Julia Styles and Bill Pullman), it has not lived up to Steady Rain standards for star-driven, two-character 90 minute plays. Last week, it did only 65% capacity, barely more than Brighton Beach when that closed. According to Playbill: "As of the January close date, Oleanna will have played 15 previews...
General Lee: Jason Lee has been cast for the lead role in Delta Blues , George Clooney 's pilot for TNT. The show revolves around a hirsute Memphis cop who still lives with his mom. When not solving crimes or cracking wise, he impersonates Elvis. TNT's head of programming called Lee "the ideal choice to bring the compelling, off-kilter Dwight Hendricks to life." Mostly because he's already...
He helped save the world! He's gotta come back! As rumors of Rolland Emmerich's Independence Day sequel circulate, Bill Pullman is trying not to think about what that means for him. The actor, who played President Thomas J. Whitmore in the 1996 film, does not believe he can revisit the role 14 years later as he [...]

"We got a lot of people telling us that they were disappointed with this death scene, as they wanted to see [the character] in agony and suffer a lot more. We had to create a whole suffering death scene just to give people the satisfaction they needed." — Peter Jackson on the ruthless test audience for The Lovely Bones [Reuters via Guardian UK ] "I still believe in Santa, the...

The film contains approximately 6 billion acts of violence. That first movie had a geeky scientist hero (Jeff Goldblum), a dad with family issues (Will Smith), a heroic president (Bill Pullman), a lone wingnut (Randy Quaid), a crabby Jewish father (Judd Hirsch), a cute dog in jeopardy and lots of international monuments blowing up. This new movie [...] 2012 End of The World Movie Review 2012 Movie...
Roland Emmerich tells MTV, that no only are they developing an Independence Day sequel, but he hopes to film it as two-back-to-back movies. Emmerich says that the reason for two movies is that he wants "to do a bigger [story] arc" which will "continue the story" and begin "twelve, thirteen, fourteen years" after the first one ended. Emmerich is even floating around a title...
More than thirteen years, Bill Pullman gave a goose-bump-inducing Fourth of July speech about freedom, willpower and how a few ugly aliens needed a good beatdown – and honestly I'm still pumped up. On the strength of that patriotic presidential speech alone, "Independence Day" deserves a sequel, and talk about one has cropped up here and [...]
You can learn things from watching movies; at least that's the premise of this lame blog post. Here are some things I've learned. You know, from watching movies. American Beauty If you ever spurn the until recently repressed homosexual advances of a homicidally violent ex-Marine, it's a good idea to lock your doors. The Godfather Go ahead and kill a prostitute; it'll be as if she never existed. Pretty...
This trailer has been out for a few days now, but I thought it was the perfect trailer to feature today, not only because no one is at work on a Sunday, but because it's a great indie trailer. The Killer Inside Me is the latest film from British filmmaker Michael Winterbottom about a West Texas deputy sheriff who is slowly unmasked as a psychotic killer. Casey Affleck stars as the sheriff and is joined...
A promotional trailer has arrived for The Killer Inside Me, the adaptation of the Jim Thompson novel which sees a small town sheriff who slowly allows the psychopathic killer inside him, a part he's been hiding for a very long time, out, and watches his life fall apart around him. Directed by Michael Winterbottom and starring Casey Affleck, Kate Hudson, Jessica Alba, Ned Beatty, Bill Pullman, Simon...
I've really been looking forward to footage from Michael Winterbottom's adaptation of the Jim Thompson novel The Killer Inside Me. I'm a massive Thompson fan, and adaptations of his novels have about a .500 average. (I'm the guy that doesn't like The Grifters much; I infinitely prefer a movie like Tavernier's Coup de Torchon.) The cast here seems to be on the money -- Casey Affleck as the duplicitous...
