When Harvey Weinstein picked up the $2 million rights to A Single Man, he's said to have personally guaranteed director (and former Gucci creative director) Tom Ford an Oscar for Best Director or Best Picture. And though a statuette for either category seems unlikely given '09's 'stiff competition, especially in light of the Coen Bros.' fantastic A Serious Man, a nom(s) remains quite possible. Critical...

When Tom Ford left his gig at the Gucci Group five years ago and signaled his intention to make Hollywood movies, there were plenty of naysayers. If the designer-turned-director ever doubted himself, he never let it show in public, and at the U.S. premiere of A Single Man at Grauman's Chinese Theatre last night, he was overcome by another, perhaps even rarer, sort of emotion: disbelief. "Being...

"Matt Damon and Heath Ledger were furious about the casting of Lena Headey in “The Brothers Grimm”, but a producer stuck with her because he felt that the actress Damon and Ledger wanted wasn’t sexy enough. Damon, Ledger, director Terry Gilliam and many other people connected with the film were passionately vying for talented and quirky actress Samantha Morton to get the role,...

“Hollyweird’ Comes to Defense of Pedophile Rapist Polanski By Reginald Orem Hollywood producer Harvey Weinstein called it a “so-called” crime. Actress Whoopi Goldberg says she knows it wasn’t “rape rape.” It was something else, but not “rape rape.” French celebrity intellectual Bernard-Henri Levy says perhaps the individual has committed a “youthful...

The gods of Hollywood do not like change. At all. So when Harvey Weinstein did the unthinkable and moved a hit show to another network, we knew it was only a matter of time until their wrath would be...

On Friday, The Boondock Saints II: All Saints Day arrives in theaters, a decade afer the notorious first film. Troy Duffy may or may not have earned a reputation for...well, for being a prick back in the late 1990s, and the documentary Overnight explores his amazing rise to rookie filmmaker for Harvey Weinstein to his almost as immediate fall from grace based on, the documentary suggests, Duffy's...

With The Boondock Saints 2: All Saints Day on the verge of hitting theaters (it opens this Friday), one of things that's continued to fascinate me is the story of how Troy Duffy was able to remake himself in the aftermath of The Boondock Saints and Overnight, the 2003 documentary that chronicled Duffy's rise and fall. Duffy was just a bartender when, in 1997, Harvey Weinstein agreed to purchase his...

Quentin Tarantino 's monster hit Inglourious Basterds will be out on DVD just in time for Christmas; Universal, which co-distributed the film theatrically and apparently nabbed the lion's share of the coveted home video rights from Harvey Weinstein, has a December 15th release date lined up for the film. That also puts Basterds back on the radar for end-of-the-year awards voting, too, especially in...

DIANE CLEHANE They were dishing like it was 1999 today at Michael's where it was SRO at the bar and in the lounge and filled with movers and shakers of every stripe in the dining room. I got a serious case of whiplash trying to keep track of it all. Between keeping an eye on Anna Wintour , who seemed to swoon over Vivi Nevo 's every word, and watching Brian Williams and Universal honcho Ron...

Bill Donohue , the president of the Catholic League, has never been known for holding his tongue. In fact, the conservative Catholic leader -- who's not affiliated with the Vatican -- is something of a firebrand, always ready with sharp words for someone. Even by his standards, though, a piece he wrote for the Washington Post's Web site earlier this week seemed to hit a new low; it was certainly a...
