Oh, this is some good stuff. I was a little surprised recently when the announcement came down that Cary Fukunaga, who directed the very excellent Sin Nombre, would adapt Charlotte Bronte's classic novel Jane Eyre as his next film. But I liked Sin Nombre so much that I'll watch anything Fukunaga does at this point. Especially now that he's likely to have Mia Wasikowska and Michael Fassbender in the...

This is a bit unexpected; there have been a lot of possible next projects in the works for Sin Nombre director Cary Fukunaga. None of them were a new adaptation of Charlotte Brontë's novel Jane Eyre. But the deal to put Fukunaga in the director's chair for a new film version of the oft-adapted novel is reportedly close to finished. And thinking about the idea further, I've realized that it actually...

I’ve always had a thing for Hollywood movie star biographies, but I mean old-school Hollywood, like 1930s, 40s and 50s. Some great reads so far have been Ava Gardner - Love is Nothing by Lee Server, Bette and Joan: The Divine Feud by Shaun Considine, Rita Hayworth: If This Was Happiness by Barbara Leaming and Rock [...]

No one can film a thriller quite like Alfred Hitchcock. Okay, Michael Jackson might give him a run for his money, but let's face it: Hitchcock is one of the quintessential thriller movie directors. You have not witnessed cinema until you have watched Hitchcock.
